The model saves remarkable number of multiplication and needs low precision of calculation, and can be easily realized on hardware platforms. Moreover, this model achieves almost the same linearization performance as the 2D-DPD model. A broadband GaN HEMT power amplifier is used to verify the model. The dual 20MHz band signal with 8 dB PAPR spacing 140MHz are tested at 2.55GHz. The proposed model uses only 18 complex multiplexers. With predistortion, ACPR can be improved from -38dBc to -50dBc.","PeriodicalId":164534,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Wireless Symposium (IWS 2015)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115114749","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 primary function of the passive RDA array is to enhance the monostatic radar cross section (RCS) of the metal plate. SIW phase shifters are utilized to realize the phase criterion of the passive RDA array instead of only changing the length of the transmission lines, resulting in a compact size and less scattering influence from the SIW structure. Alternating longitude SIW slots array antenna is adopted as radiation element and SIW transmission lines integrated with SIW phase shifters are used to form the feeding network. To validate the design method, a prototype passive RDA array with 8 radiation elements using the single-layer printed circuit board (PCB) process is designed and fabricated at 35 GHz. Experimental results agree well with simulation results, validating that the prototype RDA array can achieve an enhancement of more than 10 dB on the monostatic RCS compared to the metal plate with same size.","PeriodicalId":164534,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Wireless Symposium (IWS 2015)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116909009","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}

By combining the two subrectifiers using a power divider, the proposed rectifier has two peak power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) and thus the high-efficiency PCE range can be extended.
