This paper proposes a novel blind nonlinear post-compensation technique that improves received EVM by eliminating whole nonlinearities caused by transmitter and receiver after receiving the signal. The total nonlinear characteristic is modelled using a tandem polynomial and the proposed post-compensator determines the inverse characteristic of the tandem nonlinearity without knowledge of sending signal. The simulation results employing LTE-A signal with 256 QAM modulation show that the proposed method can efficiently suppress nonlinearity and achieve EVM of less than 2 %","PeriodicalId":184822,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121568410","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}

Besides the detector, the receiver chain includes an on chip patch antenna and a broadband base-band amplifier. The low modulation frequency charac-terization shows a responsivity around 3 V/W at 290 GHz with a bandwidth around 20 GHz (280 ∼ 300 GHz). Using a PRBS signal source, the highest measured detectable data rate is 1 Gb/s at 300 GHz carrier frequency, which shows the capability of data communication using the single FET plasma wave detector. The measured data rate is limited by the output power generated from the modulated signal source as well as the noise collected over the bandwidth of the amplifier. To the authors’ best knowledge, this is the first demonstration of successful communication in CMOS with integrated antenna, single plasma wave FET detector and broadband amplifier in sub-millimeter/terahertz wave frequencies.","PeriodicalId":184822,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)","volume":"277 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124230846","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 rigorous proof of the necessary and sufficient conditions for maximum phase resolution in integer-N synthesizers is presented. A 0.64-2.7 GHz, 7-bit phase modulator system is designed and simulated in a 1V 65nm CMOS process, and the results prove the efficacy of the presented modulation method.

In this paper, the interference suppression performance of a Least Mean Squares (LMS) algorithm-based adaptive beamformer is evaluated using measurements from a 77 GHz Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar in an outdoor environment. It is shown that the adaptive beamformer increases detection performance and that the interference is suppressed down to the noise floor of the radar in the Range-Doppler domain. In the paper, real baseband sampling and complex-baseband sampling (IQ) radar receivers are compared in the context of interference suppression.

In a time-gated SPAD the bias rises above the breakdown voltage only when a photon is expected. The frequency of the gating signal can be configured depending on the detection speed requirement. The benefits of time-gated operation include faster detector response times and low after-pulsing effect. However, this mode of operation also requires to recover the avalanche signal that can be lost in the capacitive response of the SPAD. Numerous techniques have been developed in the past to solve this issue, in this paper we present the impact of the recovery techniques on the avalanche signal in a sinewave gated high speed SPAD. The measurement results show that Chebyshev low-pass filter distorts the avalanche pulse, whereras the signal remains undistorted when using destructive interference.","PeriodicalId":184822,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125789272","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}
