Abstract
This letter reports a new theoretical analysis of third-order intermodulation (IM3) reduction in nonlinear communication amplifiers by signal injection. On the basis of well-known Volterra series analysis, we put forward a general model that can analyze both the qualitative and quantitative effects of injected signal parameters on output IM3s, which previous literatures failed to achieve. Our theory can directly calculate the optimal amplitude and phase of single injected signal and points out the duality for some dual-signal injections which can help reduce their parameter scanning complexity from 4-D to 2-D. These conclusions are in good agreement with the simulation of two traveling wave tube (TWT) amplifiers by 3-D-FDTD-PIC code and CST and MTSS. Our work proposes an original analysis about how to adjust injected external signals to obtain best IM3 cancellation in communication systems, and boosts the research efficiency for new signal injection techniques from a novel perspective.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters (MWCL) publishes four-page papers (3 pages of text + up to 1 page of references) that focus on microwave theory, techniques and applications as they relate to components, devices, circuits, biological effects, and systems involving the generation, modulation, demodulation, control, transmission, and detection of microwave signals. This includes scientific, technical, medical and industrial activities. Microwave theory and techniques relates to electromagnetic waves in the frequency range of a few MHz and a THz; other spectral regions and wave types are included within the scope of the MWCL 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.
