A new dual rectangular waveguide probe is explored here for simultaneously extracting both permittivity and permeability of a lossy shielding material having dielectric and magnetic properties and backed by a conductor. The material characterization process is facilitated using a magnetic field integral equation formulation which is subsequently solved using the method of moments. The effects of an imperfectly-conducting backing is accommodated through the development of a dyadic Green's function based upon an impedance boundary condition. Experimental measurements of various materials will be performed to validate the analysis.","PeriodicalId":363454,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129621165","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}

Although the memory effects are generally thought to exist in PAs since they handle high power signals and have bias networks, previous predistortion results showed that some amount of memory effects exist in frequency multipliers. The behavioral model of parallel cascade method was compared with the memoryless polynomial model. A frequency tripler with back-to-back Schottky diodes was implemented, and a QPSK test vector was generated at 820 MHz to capture higher-than- third order nonlinearities at 2.46 GHz. As a result, the parallel cascade model shows that the modeling accuracy can be improved by more than 4 dB in error function defined hereafter. In addition, the error function represents that the frequency tripler has memory effects concentrated up to 18 ~ 30 kHz.","PeriodicalId":363454,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122345310","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 demodulator consists of two blocks, which are a detector and a post amplifier. The detector detects and demodulates a received signal by using a square-law-detection technique. In this case, because there is no millimeter wave oscillator for frequency conversion, the receiver block becomes simplified, miniaturized, and a structure for low power consumption. A microstrip line has been used for constructing matching networks. Also, a lambda/4 open stub is used for perfect rejection of a 60 GHz signal between the detector and the post amplifier. The post amplifier is composed of an input and output buffer and a gain stage. The cutoff frequency of the post amplifier is 2 GHz, and it has a flat gain within the bandwidth. Thus, the post amplifier acts like a low pass filter, which causes the demodulator not to need any filters and simplifies the system. The 2 Gbps demodulated amplitude-shift-keying (ASK) signal is obtained when the carrier frequency is 60 GHz. The input return loss is less than 25 dB at the center frequency of 60 GHz; the conversion gain of the demodulator is 7 dB when the input power of a demodulator is -13 dBm. The total power consumption is 21.4 mW. These results indicate that the proposed low power demodulator is suitable for 60GHz portable systems.","PeriodicalId":363454,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130616929","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}

Four shunt stubs and slots form slow-wave edges and reduce the length of radiating edge by 40 %. The slow-wave edge and non-central feedings excite the first higher-order mode for radiation. The proposed design provides broadside radiation pattern with antenna gain of 7 dBi. The signal injected to one port can be radiated by the half patch and no signal is leaked to another port. Port-to-port isolation is achieved and it is proposed in the dual-fed linearly polarized antenna. The dual-fed structure is convenient for the direct integration to the balanced circuits without use of power divider/combiner or balun. The proposed design is useful to compact balanced active integrated antenna designs. The disadvantage of power divider such as electrically large size and lumped element requirement can be eliminated. Most importantly, the devices working with the proposed antenna operate independently to avoid unwanted feedback and oscillation.","PeriodicalId":363454,"journal":{"name":"2007 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132334706","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}
