This is achieved by recognizing that microstrip patch antennas may support two orthogonal resonant modes, or polarizations. These resonant modes may be modelled by a simple filter network, consisting of two coupled resonators, which represents the input impedance of such a dual-mode antenna. A novel and simple method of maximizing the bandwidth of the input reflection coefficient of a dual-mode antenna, by suitable choice of resonator couplings is presented. This method provides a theoretical bandwidth improvement of more than 300% when compared with a single mode antenna. The result is experimentally confirmed. From a practical point of view the method could have useful application in the design of antennas for mobile phones.","PeriodicalId":156210,"journal":{"name":"2003 33rd European Microwave Conference, 2003","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129605151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The phase distribution of the array excitation can be described by a weighted sum of proper basis functions. By optimizing the weights of this sum, rather than the phase of each element, the problem becomes almost independent of the size of the array. The present work shows that with this method both beam shaping and interference nulling can be achieved. The very fast convergence of the optimization makes it suitable even for real-time applications.","PeriodicalId":156210,"journal":{"name":"2003 33rd European Microwave Conference, 2003","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128223521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A low noise amplifier used in a radiometer system has an equivalent noise temperature which adds the contributions of its equivalent noise temperature at each frequency over its operating frequency range. The Y-factor has been improved and generalised to take into account the dependence with frequency of the noise source and the transfer function of a receiver. This dependence is especially relevant for broadband radiometer systems. A commercial simulator is used to validate the method and a Ka-band total power radiometer is characterized following the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":156210,"journal":{"name":"2003 33rd European Microwave Conference, 2003","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128801052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A novel set of design equations for a generalized N-stage Doherty amplifier is introduced. For the first time, this technique is applied to the design of a WCDMA power amplifier (PA). The designed PA meets WCDMA requirements, and exhibits a power-added efficiency (PAE) of 34.5% at 6 dB back-off and 16.9% at 12 dB back-off. These PAEs are 2 times and 4 times better, respectively, than that of a single stage linear PA at the same back-off levels. The PA is capable of delivering up to 28.6 dBm of output power, and has a maximum adjacent channel power leakage ratio of ¿38 dBc and ¿51 dBc at 5 and 10 MHz offset, respectively.

This optimisation method is based on the estimation of these couplings, so it can be efficiently used to tune the dimensions of the initial design.","PeriodicalId":156210,"journal":{"name":"2003 33rd European Microwave Conference, 2003","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126841700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the increased SWF, the physical lengths of matching networks are shortened while the original matching and performances are preserved. The reduced lengths by Spiral-DGS are 39% and 44% of the original lengths in input and output matching networks, respectively.
