This OTL has improved electrical performances of DA. The distributed amplifier using optimum transmission line (DAOTL) has been implemented with pHEMT transistor. Due to high capacitance of pHEMT, cutoff frequency is decided to 3.6 GHz. As a result of measurement, we could obtain maximum gain of 14.5 dB and minimum gain of 12.8 dB inner operation band. Moreover, we could PAE of 25.6% which is higher about 7.6% than the conventional DA (CDA) at 3 GHz. The output power was obtained 10.9 dBm which is higher about 1.7 dB than the conventional at 3 GHz.","PeriodicalId":448587,"journal":{"name":"2007 European Conference on Wireless Technologies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130612852","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 this contribution, progressive (hue) polarization diversity performance for 3times3 MIMO systems under Rayleigh-fading environments is evaluated through simulations and measurements in a reverberation chamber. True polarization diversity was found to be as significant as spatial diversity at improving diversity gain, and hence MIMO system capacity.","PeriodicalId":448587,"journal":{"name":"2007 European Conference on Wireless Technologies","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124484190","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 load modulation performance of the GaN HEMT device for the Doherty operation is rather moderate but workable. The linearity is improved using the in-band error cancellation technique of the Doherty amplifier. The implemented Doherty amplifier has been designed at an average output power of 43 dBm, backed-off about 8 dB from the 51 dBm (P3dB).

Analog multiplier cells, active delay units and output buffers comprise the building blocks of each FFE. A comparison of the two equalizers is conducted with reference to design topology. The impact of technology on key performance parameters such as delay and gain is discussed. When a 10-Gb/s non-return to zero signal is received through a 20-inch backplane, it is found that both equalizers successfully improve signal integrity by channel equalization. The BiCMOS FFE exhibits better performance as compared to the CMOS FFE but also dissipates more DC power.","PeriodicalId":448587,"journal":{"name":"2007 European Conference on Wireless Technologies","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122275662","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}
