Download or read book Substrate Integrated Suspended Line Circuits and Systems written by Kaixue Ma and published by Artech House. This book was released on 2024-03-31 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Substrate Integrated Suspended Line Circuits and Systems provides a systematic overview of the new transmission line - the substrate-integrated suspension line (SISL). It details the fundamentals and classical application examples of the SISL. The basic SISL concept and structure, various passive circuits and active circuits, and front-end sub-systems are systematically introduced. Featuring research on topics such as high-performance RF/microwave/mm-wave circuits and system, this book is ideal for researchers, engineers, scientists, scholars, educators, and students. Since transmission line is a fundamental component of microwave and mm-wave circuits, the properties of a transmission line, such as losses, size, and dispersion, are vital to the performance of the whole system. Suspended line has been proved to be an excellent transmission line, as it has attractive features such as low loss, weak dispersion, high power capacity, and low effective dielectric constant. However, Conventional waveguide suspended line circuits require metal housing to form air cavities which is Substrate Integrated Suspended Line Circuits and Systems essential to the operation of suspended lines circuits. Also, the metal shell should provide mechanical support and shielding, which contribute to large size and heavy weight. Meanwhile, precise mechanical fabrication and assembling are strongly required, which brings difficulties to the design and fabrication of conventional suspended line circuits, and the manufacturing cost of suspended line circuits increases correspondingly. In this book, we will introduce a new platform of high-performance transmission line, i.e. substrate integrated suspended line (SISL). SISL keeps all the merits of the suspended line while overcomes the drawbacks of conventional waveguide suspended line circuits. Moreover, it is self-packaged and highly integrated. The basic SISL concept and structure, various passive circuits and active circuits, and front-end sub-systems will be systematically introduced. Featuring research on topics such as high-performance RF/microwave/mm-wave circuits and system, this book is ideally designed for researchers, engineers, scientists, scholars, educators, and students.

Download or read book Nonlinear Design FETs and HEMTs written by Peter H. Ladbrooke and published by Artech House. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its continuing popularity, the so-called standard circuit model of compound semiconductor field-effect transistors (FETs) and high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) is shown to have a limitation for nonlinear analysis and design: it is valid only in the static limit. When the voltages and currents are time-varying, as they must be for these devices to have any practical use, the model progressively fails for higher specification circuits. This book shows how to reform the standard model to render it fully compliant with the way FETs and HEMTs actually function, thus rendering it valid dynamically. Proof-of-principle is demonstrated for several practical circuits, including a frequency doubler and amplifiers with demanding performance criteria. Methods for extracting both the reformulated model and the standard model are described, including a scheme for re-constructing from S-parameters the bias-dependent dynamic (or RF) I(V) characteristics along which devices work in real-world applications, and as needed for the design of nonlinear circuits using harmonic-balance and time-domain simulators. The book includes a historical review of how variations on the standard model theme evolved, leading up to one of the most widely used—the Angelov (or Chalmers) model.

Download or read book Reconfigurable RF Power Amplifiers on Silicon for Wireless Handsets written by Laurent Leyssenne and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-01-11 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reconfigurable RF Power Amplifiers on Silicon for Wireless Handsets is intended to designers and researchers who have to tackle the efficiency/linearity trade-off in modern RF transmitters so as to extend their battery lifetime. High data rate 3G/4G standards feature broad channel bandwidths, high dynamic range and critical envelope variations which generally forces the power amplifier (PA) to operate in a low efficiency “backed-off” regime. Classic efficiency enhancement techniques such as Envelope Elimination and Restoration reveal to be little compliant with handset-dedicated PA implementation due to their channel-bandwidth-limited behavior and their increased die area consumption and/or bill-of-material. The architectural advances that are proposed in this book circumvent these issues since they put the stress on low die-area /low power-consumption control circuitry. The advantages of silicon over III/V technologies are highlighted by several analogue signal processing techniques that can be implemented on-chip with a power amplifier. System-level and transistor-level simulations are combined to illustrate the principles of the proposed power adaptive solutions. Measurement on BICMOS demonstrators allows validating the functionality of dynamic linearity/efficiency management. In Reconfigurable RF Power Amplifiers on Silicon for Wireless Handsets, PA designers will find a review of technologies, architectures and theoretical formalisms (Volterra series...) that are traditionally related to PA design. Specific issues that one encounters in power amplifiers (such as thermal / memory effects, stability, VSWR sensitivity...) and the way of overcoming them are also extensively considered throughout this book.
