In such a low transmit-power level, the driving power and DC power consumption in the previous stage are no more negligible compared to the transmitted signal power. So, to increase the overall transmitter efficiency, not only the output power stage, but also the driver stage needs to be co-optimized for low power operation. In this paper, we present an injection-locked Class-E power amplifier (Class-E ILPA) suitable for the low transmit-power sensor network applications. The proposed power amplifier, which is fully integrated in 0.18 /spl mu/m CMOS technology, achieves a power added efficiency (PAE) of 43% while delivering an output power of 9.5 dBm with a drain efficiency (DE) of 48.5% at 1 V supply voltage.","PeriodicalId":244560,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium","volume":"48 5 Suppl 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128198170","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, a novel low cost implementation of a self phased retrodirective array using direct RF conversion and coherent digital modulation in the uplink and downlink is presented. The transceiver is designed to receive and demodulate digital signals of arbitrary modulation type up to 100 ksymbols/s while at the same time directs its main beam back in the direction of the source using any vector digital modulation scheme at speeds up to 20 ksymbols/s. A direct conversion receiver is employed here in combination with a low-power fixed point digital signal processor, eliminating the need for an IF modulator and carrier recovery unit, this makes the design particularly attractive for a commercial application. Measured results of the uplink antenna pattern are presented and show the system has good retro directivity with beam pointing error less than three degrees in the angular range of -45 degrees to +45 degrees.","PeriodicalId":244560,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116858657","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}

When placing these space-filling curve inclusions in an array and scaling each element within the array such that each element has its own separate resonant frequency, a radio frequency barcode can be developed from the radar cross section of the array. The narrow bandwidth inherent to such inclusions can be helpful in packing the overall signature into a relatively small frequency spectrum. Such radio frequency tags may have potential use in some applications of radio frequency identification systems.","PeriodicalId":244560,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130054485","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 paper shows that for a wireless local area network (WLAN) application, the envelope reconstruction process modulates the supply voltage of the switching amplifier over a large dynamic range. This introduces sufficient nonlinearity to violate emission specifications. Fortunately, the EER architecture can be improved by applying envelope and phase feedback. The phase feedback architecture satisfies the emission specifications of IEEE 802.11a, while envelope feedback provides modest adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) improvement. The impact of clipping on the ACPR and error vector magnitude (EVM) is also investigated. It is shown that for a WLAN application, a clipping of only 1 dB can be tolerated before the output signal is degraded significantly.","PeriodicalId":244560,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130098597","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}
