{"title":"Prediction of mutual coupling between base station antenna arrays","authors":"A. Mohammadian, L. Golovanevsky, S. Soliman, M. A. Tassoudji","doi":"10.1109/RAWCON.2002.1030140","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/RAWCON.2002.1030140","url":null,"abstract":"A simple approach is developed to compute mutual coupling (or isolation) between base-station antenna arrays of N dipoles. This approach utilizes a closed form expression for the self and mutual impedances for two slanted dipoles in free space. Two arrays of these dipoles are then assembled together. The elements of the 2N /spl times/ 2N Z matrix of the resulting system are the self impedance of individual dipoles as well as the mutual impedance between every two dipoles within each array and between the two arrays. The input impedance of each array and the mutual impedance between them may be easily derived by combining this Z matrix and the S matrices of two corporate feeds made of two-way power dividers. Alternatively, using a circuit theory approach and working with the Y matrix of the array, the individual antenna elements in each array may be connected together in parallel. This will reduce the 2N-port system into a two-port system whose input and mutual impedances can be easily calculated. The above approach cannot directly include the effect of a finite ground plane that usually utilized in the base-station arrays to provide higher gains and a one-sided beam. However, it was found that the mutual coupling between two arrays without a ground plane could be corrected to provide a reasonable estimate for the coupling between two arrays with a finite ground plane. The correction suggested here is based on the far field coupling predicted by the Friis transmission formula. The mutual coupling between the two arrays predicted by this method agrees reasonably well with the measured results for arrays in both broadside and colinear configurations.","PeriodicalId":132092,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 2002. 2002 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.

Due to the complexity involved, previous analytical efforts assumed either zero switch resistance and/or infinite drain (collector) inductance, which resulted in less than optimum designs. In this paper, we take the effect of both the finite switching-on resistance and finite drain inductance into account, and present an improved and optimized design technique. A 1.9 GHz CMOS class-E power amplifier, which can deliver 0.25 W of output power, was analyzed as an example of this new design technique. Excellent agreement between the theoretical analysis and simulation results is reported, pointing the way towards the optimized design of the class-E stage for microwave applications.","PeriodicalId":132092,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 2002. 2002 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.

The small signal scattering parameters are measured at 500 MHz while the bipolar part is operating at 1 GHz. The measurement is done over various drive levels ranging from linear to saturation regions of operation. An algorithm is used to calculate the small signal S-parameters at 500 MHz without having to present 50-ohm termination to the device but instead the optimum load at 1 GHz. This is significant because the microwave power transistor needs a suitable load termination (not a 50-ohm termination) in order to operate at that large signal level.","PeriodicalId":132092,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 2002. 2002 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.

Millimeter-wave oscillators with higher levels of phase-noise and frequency offset are relatively cheap; the technique allows the use of such oscillators in millimeter-wave communications systems regardless of the modulation format because the effects of the oscillator are canceled at the receiver. Applying this technique thus provides extremely stable and low-phase-noise transmission as well as a lower-cost millimeter-wave communications system. We also show that the use of millimeter-wave self-heterodyning is applicable to the cost-effective creation of easy-to-handle combining-diversity reception systems and that an extra-CNR margin of 3 dB can be obtained by the two-branch structure for diversity in reception.","PeriodicalId":132092,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 2002. 2002 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.
