A two-element array is driven by ferroelectric phase shifters to achieve a 180/spl deg/ scanning range. The phase shifter in the beamforming network (BFN) occupies an area of less than 5.3 mm/spl times/5.7 mm. This miniature low cost BFN allows for rejection of interfering signals down to the sidelobe level if the angles of arrival differ. Simulations are conducted using the geometrically based single bounced elliptical model (GBSBEM) method. The results show that on average, up to 4 dB improvement in the C/I ratio of the received signal is achieved in sparse scattering environments (10 or less). This improvement includes the loss of the BFN. As the number of scatterers in the propagation channel increases beyond 20, the receive C/I ratio degrades to that of an isotropic antenna.","PeriodicalId":132092,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 2002. 2002 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.

The existing class-S RF amplifier has the potential to achieve high efficiency while the highest RF frequency it can handle is determined by the switching speed of delta-sigma modulators. Due to the current technology limit of digital circuits, the approach is difficult to implement for amplifiers above the gigahertz frequency range. The proposed approach can overcome this difficulty by sampling the signal envelope with the delta-sigma modulator rather than the original carrier, which is more promising in practical implementation.","PeriodicalId":132092,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 2002. 2002 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.
