Three-bit reconfigurable bandpass filters (BPFs) have been proposed that employs reconfigurable resonators with branch-line switching structure. However, from the view point of actual implementation, the transmission lines that form branch-lines restrict the circuit size and increase complexity. In this paper, we design a new reconfigurable resonator with a switched capacitor array (SCA) and apply it to 3-bit reconfigurable BPF in SHF band. After analyzing the influence of parasitic capacitance of the RF switches, a 3-bit SCA is designed using 0.5 μm gate pHEMT process including MIM capacitors. Prototype BPF is fabricated for selecting center frequencies from 3.3 to 4.44 GHz. The measured RF characteristic of the prototype is almost same as that of transmission line design, while reducing circuit size remarkably.","PeriodicalId":184822,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)","volume":"4 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":"126266743","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}

In this paper, we describe a prototype of a transmitter with the SC-FDE and evaluate its transmission performance. A compact transmitter that can transmit 200-Mbps-class UHDTV signals was obtained by doubling the channel bandwidth of our previous 80-Mbps-class high-definition television wireless camera through orthogonal frequency division multiplexing.

An assumption often made by circuit designers is that the PIN diode resistance is constant over frequency (not considering parasitics). PIN diode impedance is influenced by the junctions and the I-region carrier lifetime (τ) at frequencies as high as several hundred MHz, and so a means to define the onset of the high frequency resistance will provide these designers a guideline for that constant-resistance assumption. This paper provides such a guideline and shows how measurements of PIN diode impedance as a function of frequency can provide this metric, which analysis shows to be approximately 10/πτ. The procedure is validated with measurements on packaged PIN diodes.","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":"130159320","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 instability involves the oscillating dipole charge carried by the plasma waves. The plasmons can efficiently couple to the terahertz (THz) electromagnetic radiation due to the periodic geometry of the gated structure.
