TECHNICAL FEATURE Complex Coaxial-waveguide Transitions at Millimeter-waves Millimeter-waves have been used in commercial applications during the last decade as a result of the growing development of microwave multipoint distribution systems, local multipoint distribution systems, and digital audio and video broadcasting. In spite of many proposed simulation methods, experimentation remains...
TECHNICAL FEATURE Adaptive Feedforward Amplifier Linearizer Using Analog Circuitry Alfonso J. Zozaya, Eduard Bertran Albertí and Jordi Berenguer-Sau Dept. of Signal Theory and Communications Polytechnic University of Catalonia Barcelona, Spain Nowadays, feedforward is the most effective and broadly used linearization technique employed in modern multi-carrier communications systems. Different versions,...
TUTORIAL MEMS for RF/Microwave Wireless Applications: The Next Wave Part II Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology is on the verge of revolutionizing RF and microwave applications.1 The requirements of present day and future RF and microwave systems for lower weight, volume, power consumption and cost with increased functionality, frequency...
PRODUCT FEATURE Low Phase Noise Voltage Tunable Oscillators Paratek Columbia, MD Driven by the VCO market's insatiable need for lower phase noise and wider tuning ranges, a new line of voltage tunable oscillators (VTO) has been introduced with superior performance in these areas. The new VTOs operate at fundamental...
TECHNICAL FEATURE Power Efficient MMIC Frequency Triplers The design of an efficient frequency tripler for an S-/X-band communications receiver is described. An approach for optimizing the tripler for best power efficiency is presented. The tripler topology consists of the harmonic generator circuit, a bandpass filter and an amplifier. A...
