It consists of an IQ generator, a Gilbert cell-based vector summer, and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Input impedance variations of the vector summer according to the states of the phase shifter, which give rise to IQ mismatches, are substantially suppressed in a wide bandwidth. This is effectively achieved by introducing cross-coupled neutralization capacitors to cancel out the Miller capacitors (\u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$C_{text {gd}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000) of the input transistors of the vector summing circuit. The implemented phase shifter shows a maximum gain of 0.613 dB at 24.9 GHz and 3-dB bandwidths of 21.7–28.6 GHz (27.4%). The root mean square (rms) phase and gain errors are measured to be less than 1.5° and 0.25 dB, respectively, for 6-bit 360° phase and 4-bit 10-dB gain controls.

After the PLL locks, the TDC loop is automatically turned off, which does not require additional power and not affect the phase noise. Fabricated in the 65-nm CMOS process with an active area of 1.25 mm2, the proposed PLL achieves a phase noise of −138.55 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset from a 1.85-GHz carrier.

Conventional DPD techniques face challenges in mitigating dynamic nonlinearities efficiently. By modeling and predicting variations of conventional Volterra-based DPD coefficients using ANNs, the ANN-DPDCP technique rapidly provides appropriate DPD coefficients based on the target input power level. Benefiting from its concise training dataset and fitting capability, the ANN-DPDCP technique requires limited storage resources and derives DPD coefficients at arbitrary input power levels with negligible delay and comparable linearization performance. Experiments on a Ka-band PA driven by 100- and 400-MHz signals with a 12-dBm input power range illustrate storage resource reductions of 99.54% for 400 MHz and 99.81% for 100 MHz.","PeriodicalId":73297,"journal":{"name":"IEEE microwave and wireless technology letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142143722","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}
