Accurate Simulation of an X-band Frequency Synthesizer

This article describes the simulation and design of an X-band frequency synthesizer that can be applied to a micro-satellite transmitter system. The effects of the sideband’s spurious noise on the adjacent channels and the phase noise in each component...
Today’s transmitters for earth imaging micro-satellite systems demand higher communication quality and higher data rates to be capable of transmitting pictures or data with an appropriate quality, a higher frequency of operation and more channels per unit bandwidth. Low power consumption and small size are also required for this...

Focus on EuRAD and the Exploitation of Communications Techniques

EuRAD Chairman, Patrick Beasley, discusses a developing conference, the convergence between radar and communications technologies, environmental issues and more.
Right from its inception European Microwave Week has involved radar activities; with the number of radar related papers increasing year-by-year until in Amsterdam in October 2004, the current series of separate conferences began. That growth has continued with the 2006 European Radar Conference seeing a substantial conference programme consisting...
