The procedure is based on some mathematical properties of the solution curve under low-amplitude of the input generator. Through a simple fitting technique, it is possible to determine the variation of the synchronization bandwidth versus any design parameter, while keeping constant the central frequency of the division band. The procedure also enables a prediction of the frequency-division interval for any value of the input-generator amplitude within the region of linear behavior with respect to the input source. It has been applied to the optimization of the input matching network in a frequency divider by 10, which uses a nonlinear transmission line (NLTL) as a feedback network.","PeriodicalId":247495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125424123","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}

The key feature of a high power coding efficiency of 68.5% from a 5-level digitally implemented discrete-time (DT)-PWM quantizer encoding 20-MHz LTE signal (PAR of 10.25-dB) is verified by simulation. Unlike the traditional RFPWM, this new power coding process taking place at IF frequency of 100 MHz, offers a higher over-sampling ratio thus resulting in an improved output spectrum purity. In addition, a look-up-table based linearization unit is introduced in the digital-RF transmitter architecture to specifically correct the distortion caused by the nonlinear transformation of power encoder. To the author's knowledge, this is the most efficient power coding approach in a digital implementation reported so far encoding 20-MHz LTE at 2 GHz with low EVM of 4.1%.","PeriodicalId":247495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123611730","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}

During the tuning, very good isolation and low return loss are always kept. In the theoretical discussion, the general design equations are presented.

However, the residual self-interference is still much stronger than the thermal noise due to many factors, e.g. phase noise in local oscillator, I/Q imbalance, thermal noise and so on, limiting the self-interference cancelation. In this paper, the influence of the thermal noise on the active self-interference cancelation (ASIC) for wideband Full-Duplex OFDM wireless system is analytically studied and demonstrated. We propose a little modification to the structure of data packet of IEEE 802.11g to reduce the impact of the thermal noise on the ASIC for Full-Duplex OFDM radio. The ADS-Matlab co-simulation results show that we can reduce the residual self-interference to only 1.5dB higher than the receiver thermal noise.","PeriodicalId":247495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126027823","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 π-matching network is implemented to improve the insertion loss (IL) at high frequencies. The differences between the conventional inductive peaking and the matching network utilized here are discussed. Under nominal conditions, the IL of the 1.5 V switch is less than 0.5 dB from DC to 20 GHz; and less than 2.0 dB at 40 GHz. The input matching of the switch is better than 10 dB, the isolation (ISO) is greater than 15 dB, and the P1dB of the 1.5 V switch is 11 dBm. A higher voltage (2.5 V) switch implemented with high-breakdown devices increases the P1dB to 15 dBm at the cost of a small increase in IL. A switched-line one-bit 180° phase shifter (PS) is demonstrated using the 1.5 V low-loss switch. The PS exhibits an IL better than 3 dB at 18 GHz.
