Such designs show higher radiated power or lower noise floor resulting from low interconnecting line losses. However, since more microwave circuits are connected directly together on a single board, their testing is more difficult. In the given case, this concerns measurement of reflection coefficient of the passive radiator. Methods developed in frames of this work employ the VNA measurement and TRL cahbration, and enable one to evaluate radiator input reflection coefficient in a complete structure without need of any disconnecting or switching. Performed practical measurements show that results can be satisfactorily precise. Generally, the method can be applied for measurement of individual microwave circuits embedded in more complex system PCBs.","PeriodicalId":282023,"journal":{"name":"2017 89th ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference (ARFTG)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122123728","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 contrast to the established error vector magnitude (EVM), we do not demodulate the data symbols. Rather, we subtract linearly correlated (SLIC) parts from the DUT output and analyze the power spectral density of the remaining error signal. Consequently, we do not require in-depth knowledge of the modulation standard. This makes our method well suited for measurements with cutting-edge communication signals, without the need to purchase or implement a dedicated EVM analyzer. We show that our SLIC-EVM approach allows for estimating the subcarrier-dependent EVM for typical transceiver impairments like IQ mismatch, phase noise, and power amplifier (PA) nonlinearity. We present measurement results of a WLAN PA, showing less than 0.2 dB absolute deviation from the regular EVM with demodulation.","PeriodicalId":282023,"journal":{"name":"2017 89th ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference (ARFTG)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133276093","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 interface integrates both time domain reflectometry (TDR) and time domain transform (TDT) gating techniques which are combined with a signal analysis algorithm. Using a database of signal responses, the interface software can identify, locate and visualize positions of open, short and mismatched faults on a multiple-output system. In other words, the interface can simultaneously check the fault in the multichannel system with one step. Automated measurements were performed for a prototype of antenna system, which operates from 720 MHz to 960 MHz with one input channel and six output channels. Thus, it is possible that the testing solution can be replicated for similar multiple port systems.","PeriodicalId":282023,"journal":{"name":"2017 89th ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference (ARFTG)","volume":"92 26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125017581","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 reports for the first time a single sweep from megahertz to gigahertz frequencies so that cell viability, membrane capacitance, cytoplasm resistance, and cytoplasm capacitance could be determined simultaneously. These parameters were determined with the aid of simple cell model and equivalent circuit, despite great challenges in ultra-wideband measurement and analysis. Although the extracted parameter values for Jurkat T-lymphocytes human cells, live or dead, were consistent with that reported in the literature, more careful measurement and analysis are required in the future, especially for electromagnetic detection over an even wider bandwidth. In any case, the present analysis confirmed that it was easier to assess cell viability around 100 MHz but cytoplasm characteristics around 10 GHz.","PeriodicalId":282023,"journal":{"name":"2017 89th ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference (ARFTG)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125358151","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}

By acquiring the feedback signals with band-limited filter and several different local oscillator frequencies, the feedback bandwidth is constrained to be much less than the bandwidth of input signal. Then the PA's forward model is extracted with these feedback signals jointly without spectrum combination, and the complete PA output without information loss can be restored based on the model parameters. Experimental results validate satisfied linearization performance on a 20GHz amplifier with 200MHz input signal, when the feedback bandwidth is constrained to 98.304 MHz. Thus, the bandwidth of the feedback loop can be reduced drastically in the presented method, which may be a linearization solution for the future 5G wideband scenarios.","PeriodicalId":282023,"journal":{"name":"2017 89th ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference (ARFTG)","volume":"5 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116544858","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}
