This problem is hard to solve, especially when the RFPA comprises a single active device. We describe a technique of power synthesis using several discretely combined devices (FET arrays) to enhance RF power efficiency while achieving high PAR, values. We show that by suitably combining phase-switched amplifiers, one can achieve comparable BER performance to normal class-A linear amplifiers. We analyze the effect of phase distortions that arise in large integrated FET arrays, and we quantify the PM-AM effects therein. Simulations in AWGN show that one can achieve BERs comparable to full-precision, linear approaches by using only 4-5 discrete RF synthesis stages in the RFPA module.","PeriodicalId":177645,"journal":{"name":"Radio and Wireless Conference, 2003.

Whether a single user SS UWB system, or a direct sequence SS code division multiple access (CDMA) UWB system, the proposed receiver offers robust suppression of a narrowband interference, in marked contrast to the RAKE only receiver. When DSSS is used with CDMA, this receiver provides much greater rejection of multiuser access interference (wideband interference), avoiding an error floor for moderate system load. RAKE reception alone exhibits an error moderate system load. RAKE reception alone exhibits an error floor even at light system load. The proposed hybrid can be considered an enhancement of RAKE reception, replacing the maximum ration combining the MMSE, or as a reduced complexity alternative to adaptive MMSE multiuser detection.","PeriodicalId":177645,"journal":{"name":"Radio and Wireless Conference, 2003.

However, zero-IF receivers introduce IQ imbalance which may have a huge impact on the performance. Rather than increasing design time or component cost to decrease the IQ unbalance, an alternative is to tolerate the IQ imbalance and compensate it digitally. Current solutions require extra analog hardware or converge too slowly for bursty communication. Moreover, the tremendous impact of a frequency offset on the IQ estimation/compensation problem is not considered. In this paper, we analyze the joint IQ imbalance-frequency offset estimation and propose a low-cost, highly effective, all-digital compensation scheme. For large IQ imbalance (/spl isin/ = 10%, /spl Delta//spl phi/ = 10/spl deg/) and large frequency offsets, our solution results in an average implementation loss below 0.5 dB. It therefore enables the design of low-cost, low-complexity OFDM receivers.","PeriodicalId":177645,"journal":{"name":"Radio and Wireless Conference, 2003. RAWCON '03.
