Two three-carrier WCDMA signals are applied to a dual-band Doherty PA prototype for modeling verification. The experimental results show that the proposed model approximates the PA with normalized mean square errors (NMSEs) of -38.48dB and -35.42dB in the lower and upper bands, respectively.

In the uniform coupling section, a bridge structure between the two PPDWs is employed to obtain accurate coupling value and achieve a broadband coupling. And in the transition sections, two quarter-circle bend arms are introduced to achieve strong isolation between the adjacent ports and reduce the power reflection in all ports. It is found that this new type of bridged coupler exhibits excellent performance at terahertz frequencies. Calculated results show that return loss is greater than 18dB, isolation is better than 27dB, and the average coupler loss is 1.3dB, over a percentage bandwidth of 6.2% at 650GHz. Compared to the conventional PPDW coupler, the bridged PPDW coupler shows significantly greater bandwidth (about 2.3 times), compact and mechanically stable with a much shorter uniform coupling length (reduced about 56%), which may have potential applications for terahertz integrated circuits and systems.","PeriodicalId":421574,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Microwave and Millimeter Wave Technology (ICMMT)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114698856","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}

An equivalent circuit model for the novel antenna is presented, based on which an even-odd mode analysis is carried out, testifying that the even-mode current is predominant on the radiation vias at the zeroth-order frequency. According to the multiple folded monopole theory, there is a substantial increase in the radiation resistance, enabling the antenna to be well matched without adopting any external matching network. In order to verify the theoretical analyses, a prototype antenna of λ/10 × λ/20 × λ/10, operative at 3.0 GHz, are fabricated and measured, which can achieve radiation efficiency of above 90% and fully omnidirectional monopole-type radiation pattern.","PeriodicalId":421574,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Microwave and Millimeter Wave Technology (ICMMT)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114992085","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}
