A PC waveform is a long pulse with internal modulation. The energy of it can be increased without raising the instantaneous peak power. Meanwhile, a PC waveform preserves an equal bandwidth and the range resolution associated with a single pulse waveform. In addition, the PC technique also allows multiple radars operating simultaneously based on the code division multiple accessing (CDMA). In this work, the internal modulation of the PC waveform is binary phase shift keying (BPSK) with a 31-bit length pseudo noise (PN) sequence. The modulation rate is 1 Gb/s and the maximum pulse width is 31 nsec. The CMOS chip presents a self-contained radar system with the transmitter, receiver, frequency synthesizer, and complete timing circuit fully integrated in a standard 90nm CMOS technology.","PeriodicalId":6385,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE/MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82693030","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 method is based on the power wave renormalization theory and the characteristic polynomial representation of a filter network. By renormalizing the termination load impedance, three necessary conditions that stipulate the polynomials associated to a filter matched to a complex load and those related to a unity load are derived. It can be shown that these three conditions can lead to an ideal filter circuit model cascaded by a piece of transmission line between the complex load and the ideal filter. It has been shown that the length of the transmission line is optimal in the sense that the designed filter will best match to a given frequency variant load effect. The proposed method offers a deterministic yet flexible way for optimally designing a diplexer or a multiplexer with a realistic loading effect. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated by a design example of a waveguide diplexer.","PeriodicalId":6385,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE/MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88983550","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}

This method is based on modifying the conventional power/ground cavity model by utilizing the inhomogeneous medium in the power/ground structure. The usage of this inhomogeneous medium leads to the appearance of the nonconstant-coefficient first-order derivative terms of the model equation. These terms allow us to control and to change the geometrical property of the model solution if the coefficients are properly selected. We will show that by adjusting the parameters of the coefficient functions, the resonance of the structure can be completely eliminated.

Application examples on modeling MESFET devices and the use of the new model in DC, combined DC,S-parameter and Harmonic balance (HB) simulation demonstrate that our analytical Neuro-SM model matches more closely with the device data than that by the previous Neuro-SM method for modeling large-signal microwave devices.","PeriodicalId":6385,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE/MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88866648","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}
