The irregular spherical cavity resonator is squeezed non-uniformly in horizontal orientations, and is miniaturized by capacitive loading using a geometrically shaped mushroom-head rod. The design differs from the conventional in the shaping of the cavity geometry, simultaneously taking into account 1) size compactness and miniaturization, 2) enhanced power handling capability, 3) maximized spurious-free region at lowest cost, and 4) most significantly, improved process compatibility with subtractive and additive manufacturing technologies. A prototype of the shaped irregular resonator with a fundamental-mode frequency of 3 GHz is fabricated in size of 0.3 lambda_{mathrm{g}} times 0.2 lambda_{mathrm{g}} times 0.33 lambda_{mathrm{g}}$, demonstrating an unloaded quality factor of 2610 and a spuri-ous-free region of >4 octaves. The resonator is a good candidate for new generations of miniaturized coaxial cavity filters with flexible manufacturing schemes.","PeriodicalId":301959,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE MTT-S International Wireless Symposium (IWS)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121403858","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}

It has lower complexity compared with some existing digital predistortion (DPD) systems, since a lower speed ADC in the feedback path is required. The least-square algorithm is adopted to extract the DPD coefficients. Experimental results show that the architecture achieves nearly the same linearization performance as the conventional methods and it is highly suitable for the broadband DPD.","PeriodicalId":301959,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE MTT-S International Wireless Symposium (IWS)","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127561361","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 spatial phase distribution of OAM mode is imposed by P-B phase principle, and the vortex wave front is performed in the cross-polarized transmission field wave. The reconfigurable energy intensity of vortex beam is achieved by two unit cells with distinguishable amplitude levels. The independent manipulation of amplitude and phase of vortex beam carrying OAM mode could be achieved by mean of changing the phase differences of co-polarization between two linear polarization waves. The mappings of electric field and phase distribution are in good agreement with theoretic design processes.
