Hilbert transform is used to transform the real measurements into their complex counterpart, then a kind of elaborately defined fourth-order cumulant is employed to identify the AR parameters of the non-Gaussian noise. After prefiltering the noisy measurements with the identified AR polynomial, SVD-TLS method can be applied to retrieve harmonics. This method releases the asymmetrically-distributed assumption of the non-Gaussian noise and is also efficient when there is quadratic phase coupling in harmonics. Simulation examples are presented to support the result of this paper.","PeriodicalId":226788,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 98. 1998 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.

All of these have in common the need for improved amplifier linearity in order to be practical or to co-exist with other users in the same spectrum. Many systems also mandate that the amplifier efficiency be as high as possible to extend the operating time of portable or self-contained power sources. In addition to the above, many systems desire relatively high power outputs to be obtained for improving reliability or availability. A workable compromise is difficult to achieve for any given set of parameters. Much effort in the literature is devoted to designs of amplifiers that seek to meet the above requirements. In this paper, work that was reported previously is extended to a more general higher power case by introducing a previously unknown circuit topology variation of a microwave Doherty amplifier. The new topology shown easily extends the load line modulation principle to higher power designs while also providing a design technique that avoids many of the complications of two tightly coupled interactive stages. A brief review of previous work is included for completeness.","PeriodicalId":226788,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 98. 1998 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.

The amplifier consists of two cascaded gain stages to achieve 25 dB gain at greater than 1 W output power with a corresponding power added efficiency of 50% at IS-136 specified ACPR linearity levels. The amplifier is realized using GaAs PHEMT devices to provide superior performance in optimizing the efficiency/linearity trade-off for this digital modulation format. Size of the amplifier is minimized by placing most of the circuitry on a single GaAs IC. An exception is the output matching circuitry where high Q lumped elements are selected to minimize loss. The circuit topology is chosen based on a design methodology where a large signal model of the PHEMT device is combined with behavior analysis techniques such that performance of the amplifier is simulated for a /spl pi//4 DQPSK modulated signal. This approach proved successful in sizing the FET devices as well as examining the performance improvements offered in using selected fundamental and harmonic terminations.","PeriodicalId":226788,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 98. 1998 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.

As future communication capabilities cascade from tactical commanders to individual soldiers, spectral clutter and hostile jamming complicate the task of preserving data throughput. Frequency hop (FH) and direct sequence (DS) methodologies have inherent strengths that must be exploited to overcome communication obstacles. In this paper, we present a hybrid methodology that combines FH waveforms with pulse concealment and transform domain signal processing in order to overcome interference, hostile detection, and jamming. Rejection algorithms are demonstrated which significantly improve system performance in the presence of high-power partial-band jammers, co-site communication signals, and fading.","PeriodicalId":226788,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 98. 1998 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.

Compared to the conventional superheterodyne implementation, this direct digitization front-end eliminates additional components used for frequency translation. A key component of such a front-end is the RF filter which facilitates band-pass sampling of the incoming signal. In this paper, we present the design of a wide-band integrated filter which passes both the GPS and GLONASS satellite bands using a minimum number of analog components. The filter is realized on a microstrip and simulated to test the baseband specifications and signal integrity.","PeriodicalId":226788,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 98. 1998 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.
