The proposed IQ-demodulator consists of two direct down conversion mixers and a polyphase filter for 90° phase shifting. The two mixers are matched to 50 ohm by an on-chip bias-tee matching network with ESD protection. The parasitic inductance compensation technique is used to minimize the IQ imbalance. The proposed IQ-demodulator is measured with 5 dBm LO power. Measurement results show a peak conversion gain of 7.3 dB with IQ phase and amplitude imbalances of 0.1 dB and 6 degree, respectively. The total power consumption of the demodulator is 16 mW.

Polynomial filters can be used in order to represent both the non-linearities of the PA and the memory effects caused by passive elements of the circuit. This work proposes a different structure for a PA polynomial behaviour model, using finite impulse response (FIR) filters and one-dimensional polynomials. The memory polynomial (MP) and the envelope memory polynomial (EMP) models were used not only as a foundation for the proposed model but also as references points for performance validation. All models were applied to a class AB GaN PA driven by a WCDMA envelope signal. Results shown an enhancement on performance for the proposed model when its accuracy was compared with the one obtained by the MP and EMP models. In contrast with the first one, the proposed model had an improvement of 4.1 dB in its normalized mean square error (NMSE), with the second one, the improvement was of 5.9 dB.","PeriodicalId":171284,"journal":{"name":"2017 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"87 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130863141","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}
