However OFDM is sensitive to the channel nonllnearities. The OFDM signals are usually transmitted over an optical link to the wireless link. In this method the radio signals are transposed into the optical domain. In low cost systems direct laser modulation is applied. The nonlinearity of this type of modulation can cause distortion and this way limitation on the optical transmission. In this paper we present investigations on the limitations by simulations and experiments with the result of conditions for optimum operation.","PeriodicalId":425104,"journal":{"name":"2012 19th International Conference on Microwaves, Radar & Wireless Communications","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115378104","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 3rd harmonic system operates at 3.9GHz and requires a very precise phase and amplitude control of the accelerating field below 10fs, which is done by the Low-Level RF system. One of the key component is the RF field detector that converts the detected cavity field signal to an intermediate frequency for digital sampling. The paper presents an overview of the system, particularly the low phase noise reference generator, local oscillator and multichannel down-converter. System scheme and performance are demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":425104,"journal":{"name":"2012 19th International Conference on Microwaves, Radar & Wireless Communications","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125038228","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 use of filters to provide walls to ensure isolation of users from one another is common, but the design of such filters is difficult because of proximity. With spectrum more costly than hardware, the ordered metrics for filters are performance, size, reliability, and lastly, selling cost. In this paper we will discuss topology and manufacturing technology for the more recent approaches to implementation of such filters.","PeriodicalId":425104,"journal":{"name":"2012 19th International Conference on Microwaves, Radar & Wireless Communications","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114386749","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 presented approach is based on measurements of a real package in which the detector chip was replaced with a 2-port of known parameters (a microstrip line of length equall to that of the original chip) and connected to the package leads with wirebonds. In this respect the presented procedure differs from the literature reports, which concentrate mostly on indirect package characterization based solely on full-wave EM models of the packages. The sensitivity of the approach to varying lengths of the wirebonds used to connect the known 2-port to the package is analyzed. To this end, the structure was wirebonded several times. Each time it was measured so that the discrepancy in extracted parameters of the package equivalent circuit could be observed.","PeriodicalId":425104,"journal":{"name":"2012 19th International Conference on Microwaves, Radar & Wireless Communications","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114577631","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}

Optimally designed “stepped” coupler usually consists of a cascade connection of large number of two kinds of uniform coupled transmission line sections. Coupled transmission lines, of maximal acceptable coupling are separated by non-coupled or minimally coupled sections. Analytical solution for the problem is usually not available, therefore synthesis can be solved only by numerical optimization. Modern optimization solvers can successfully coup with huge number of parameters, however a suitable starting point for optimization is required. Therefore a three stage synthesis algorithm is proposed. Firstly, a starting point is generated by a direct shape optimization method. A non-uniform coupled transmission line is evolved from scratch. Secondly, the non-uniform line is converted into a stepped one. Finally, the coupler is optimized with dynamically growing frequency band. An example of synthesis of 0.1 to 10.6 GHz 10 dB coupler with ideal uniform coupled transmission lines is presented.","PeriodicalId":425104,"journal":{"name":"2012 19th International Conference on Microwaves, Radar & Wireless Communications","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114890957","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}
