Abstract
In this article, a sideband switchable RF/analog processing single sideband (SSB) mixer is proposed to synchronize the phase in open-loop distributed array system. The proposed SSB mixer is composed of single balanced mixer, Wilkinson power divider, switches, transmission line delays, RF Hilbert transformer, and T-junction combiner. The design theory is developed for phase synchronization in distributed array based on the sequential switched sideband signal, and detail design approach is developed for the proposed RF/analog processing switchable SSB mixer. By switching the transmission line delays, different sidebands are controlled in the proposed SSB mixer. To verify the design concept, a prototype SSB mixer is designed and validated in simulation and experiment, and the results align well with design theory. Different from other SSB mixer, this is first time a RF/analog processing switchable band SSB mixer is proposed to show great potential for exploring novel wireless communication technique.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques focuses on that part of engineering and theory associated with microwave/millimeter-wave components, devices, circuits, and systems involving the generation, modulation, demodulation, control, transmission, and detection of microwave signals. This includes scientific, technical, and industrial, activities. Microwave theory and techniques relates to electromagnetic waves usually in the frequency region between a few MHz and a THz; other spectral regions and wave types are included within the scope of the Society whenever basic microwave theory and techniques can yield useful results. Generally, this occurs in the theory of wave propagation in structures with dimensions comparable to a wavelength, and in the related techniques for analysis and design.
