This article addresses the technical issues associated with these bands and examines the application environment for these systems. The primary technical focus of equipment vendors for both of these bands has to be the network design and the way that the networks can be constructed to provide ubiquitous service to customers. As such there are a number of technical parameters that affect the design of the system including signal propagation characteristics, carrier energy levels, modulation schemes, error detection and correction mechanisms, and interference isolation requirements. The technical issues tie directly into operating issues such as coverage area, reliability, capacity, and the general feature/benefit relationship required for any successful system.","PeriodicalId":264044,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE MTT-S Symposium on Technologies for Wireless Applications Digest","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116232941","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 numerical representation as well as the nonreciprocal nature of the active device necessitates the use of a circuit simulator.

The filters are intended to be used for modulators with high data rates, as it is necessary in broadband direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems. One filter has been fabricated from a lithium tantalate (LiTaO/sub 3/) substrate, and one from a quartz substrate. The filter on LiTaO/sub 3/ fulfills all requirements dealing with spectrum shaping. However, the temperature range is not as wide as with quartz substrates due to the higher temperature coefficient of LiTaO/sub 3/. The filter on quartz is very stable from the temperature coefficient point of view, but the insertion attenuation and spurious electromagnetic feedthrough are relatively high.","PeriodicalId":264044,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE MTT-S Symposium on Technologies for Wireless Applications Digest","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124109070","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}

Canada has been aggressive in allocating frequency bands throughout the spectrum, from 2.5 GHz to 40 GHz, for the provision of terrestrial, wireless, broadband broadcasting and telecommunications services for both urban and rural applications-to compete with the conventional telephone, cable television and satellite infrastructures. This article overviews the technology and applications associated with a portfolio of some eight different bands allocated for various services, presenting the relative performance and economics of the spectrum alternatives and underlining the technical constraints associated with the higher frequency alternatives. The focus on provision of broadband services, employment of compression techniques for video transmission is outlined-with service capacities compared between the low and high frequency ends of the spectrum. Particular attention is focused on the new Local Multipoint Communications Service alternatives, with the equipment development and economic challenges associated with LMCS being presented.","PeriodicalId":264044,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE MTT-S Symposium on Technologies for Wireless Applications Digest","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132910624","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 large signal model is utilized with harmonic balance and envelope simulation methods to predict distortion performance of a GaAs MESFET based RF power amplifier targeting domestic TDMA cellular radio handset applications. The simulation techniques and large signal model are first validated by comparing load pull distortion measurements arising from both sinusoidal and digitally modulated RF stimuli to simulation. Excellent agreement between measurement and simulation is observed for a wide range of load line conductances. The effect of harmonic terminations on amplifier linearity is then investigated using simulation methods. The results suggest significant linearity improvements are possible with proper harmonic terminations.","PeriodicalId":264044,"journal":{"name":"1997 IEEE MTT-S Symposium on Technologies for Wireless Applications Digest","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127747316","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}
