Such models are capable of accounting for parasitic effects associated with the capacitance of the bonding pads in the package and the inductance of the bond wires. We have applied this modeling procedure to extract package equivalent circuit models for some of Motorola's LDMOS RF power transistors. The models have been validated up to the third harmonic with respect to the device's operating frequency. It has been demonstrated that the package parasitic effects contribute significantly to an accurate prediction of the packaged transistor nonlinear performance.","PeriodicalId":226788,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 98. 1998 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.

Although the requirements for the downlink are straightforward, the uplink requirements have considerably larger impact on the handset transmitter and base station receiver design. The impacts on the transmitter are examined, from baseband to RF frequencies. In particular, waveform quality and emissions are examined through high-level simulation to determine the tradeoffs involved implementation of a handset design which can support IS-95-B high speed data requirements for the uplink in the 1.9 GHz band.","PeriodicalId":226788,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 98. 1998 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.

However, it is also the biggest component in today's radios. Therefore, there is great interest in reducing the size of these filters. Low cost is also a big driver. One incremental solution is to find a way to eliminate the external metal shield that, typically, accounts for 10% to 20% the filter volume and for 5% to 10% of the manufacturing cost. However, the external metal shield helps to reduce the unwanted parasitic field coupling between combline resonators at the open circuit end. These fields terminate on the ground plane provided by the shield. The solution presented is to interdigitate some of the resonators in the filter and thereby distribute the ground plane sufficiently to eliminate the shield without adversely affecting the stopband attenuation performance.","PeriodicalId":226788,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 98. 1998 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.

This method is very efficient in three-dimensional and complex environments like inside buildings. But some problems appear implementing the reception algorithms, because the receptors are considered punctual and the rays have no thickness. The reception sphere method is a popular technique used to fix this problem. An alternative method is to launch three-dimensional tubes, instead of rays. Both techniques are analyzed, showing the advantages and disadvantages of each one in efficiency and accuracy.","PeriodicalId":226788,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 98. 1998 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.
