Typical applications for this technique are the computation of EMC related transfer-functions of the electromagnetic field, describing the coupling of energy into complex systems as well as the computation of the RCS of complex cavities in large metallic scatterers. The proposed method is based on the combination of generalized admittance matrices (GAMs) for the apertures with MLFMM for the outer problem. The GAMs are first computed by the most appropriate technique for the complex interior problem (e.g. FDTD). In the second step of this technique, the admittance matrices are incorporated into the MLFMM-accelerated iterative MoM solution process. This technique is especially suited for coupling studies of complex systems requiring many different field incident angles, since the GAMs are to be computed only once.","PeriodicalId":156210,"journal":{"name":"2003 33rd European Microwave Conference, 2003","volume":"9 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":"126610200","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}

Inaccuracies in output power levels are predominantly caused by drift in PA gain over temperature and input power. In this paper we present biasing circuits that implement an inherently accurate gain control curve. These circuits are based on temperature stabilised V/I-converters and current mirrors. Applying current driven biasing of the first RF-stage reduces the input power dependency of the gain. Measurements show an order of magnitude less drift in PA gain over temperature variations and about a factor five smaller drift over input power variations. The proposed circuits relax the dynamic range and stability requirements on the power control loop and they will help making phone output power calibrations redundant.","PeriodicalId":156210,"journal":{"name":"2003 33rd European Microwave Conference, 2003","volume":"101 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":"123784406","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}

This novel technique is based on the MoM/BI-RME method: it consists in the formulation of an electric field integral equation, which is solved by the Method of Moments (MoM) with entire-domain basis functions. The efficiency of the method derives from the use of the Boundary Integral-Resonant Mode Expansion (BI-RME) method in the determination of the basis functions in the case of fully arbitrary metal patches. The novelty of this work is the formulation of the BI-RME method for the determination of a novel set of basis functions, which enhances the capabilities of a CAD tool previously developed. The BI-RME formulation for calculating entire-domain basis functions with all possible combination of electric/magnetic boundaries is reported.","PeriodicalId":156210,"journal":{"name":"2003 33rd European Microwave Conference, 2003","volume":"2 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":"122716920","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 folded ring resonator can resonate at identical resonant modes as the annular-ring resonator, which is designed to operate at the same fundamental mode frequency when fabricated on an identical dielectric substrate. The physical dimensions of this structure are much smaller than that of a conventional microstrip ring operating at the same frequency. Moreover, it can be easily integrated with other microwave devices, and its two flat sides enable effective coupling with adjacent resonators to form filters. Bandpass filters designed using the folded ring structure are significantly more compact than a traditional planar filter such as parallel-coupled bandpass filter designed at the same frequency even when fabricated on high dielectric constant substrates. The folded ring filters implemented provide relatively low insertion loss and good return loss at its passband.","PeriodicalId":156210,"journal":{"name":"2003 33rd European Microwave Conference, 2003","volume":"48 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":"122731180","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}
