This Kahn-technique (Envelope Elimination and Restoration) transmitter operates at 1.2 GHz and produces a PEP output of 50 W. It employs a GaN-HEMT class-F RF-power amplifier, class-S modulators, and a digital signal processor. An overall (driver + final) efficiency of 50 percent or more is maintained over the top 6 dB of the output range. The driver and final are operated to maximize overall efficiency and the predistortion corrects for amplitude and phase errors. While originally intended for pulsed radar applications, the transmitter is capable of producing a wide variety of signals with good linearity and average efficiency.

This paper presents an effective carrier frequency estimation algorithm for adaptive demodulation of SSB-SC signals based on software defined radios. Higher-order moments are used for accurate carrier frequency estimation without a priori physical layer knowledge or a pilot tone associated with the received signal. Experiment results demonstrate the good performance of the algorithm.

In this paper, the effect of I/Q mismatch in a 5.8 GHz direct-conversion quadrature Doppler radar sensor detecting periodic movement is studied. The measured movement amplitude under specific I/Q amplitude or phase mismatch is affected by the residual phase, which is determined by the nominal distance from the target to the antenna. It was found that there exist optimal residual phases minimizing the degradation of detection accuracy caused by amplitude and phase mismatches. Experiments were conducted to verify the theory.

A reconfigurable direct conversion receiver front-end for GSM and WLAN bands (1.9 and 2.4 GHz) is proposed and demonstrated for cognitive radio system applications. The RF front-end platform makes use of a silicon varactor-tuned bandpass filter in connection with a tunable six-port demodulator. Varactor diodes of both of the tunable structures are independently biased using two different sets of supply voltage. The demodulation of phase-shift-keying (PSK) signals at a bit rate of 40 Mbps is achieved by using wideband power detectors. An experimental test bench of the proposed receiver is realized, and QPSK and 8PSK signal constellations are measured at the center-operating frequencies of 1.9 and 2.4 GHz for different noise levels.

Radiometers are sophisticated sensors commonly in use since decades in different fields, among the others: radioastronomy, meteorology and remote sensing from satellite. Being a sort of noise temperature eye, the radiometer can be applied, in principle, to a huge variety of observations, nevertheless its exploitation has been limited so far by the cost of the technology required. The most of the existing apparatuses in fact are actually based on waveguide or hybrid technology in combination with 3D antennas; it poses severe constraints in terms of cost, dimension, weight and mass production possibilities and ultimately applicablity. Nowadays, the strong increment of the operating frequencies of even low cost IC technologies, such as CMOS with cut off frequencies far beyond 100 GHz, allows us to look at radiometers from a different and wider perspective.

A 2.6 GHz Gilbert mixer-based downconverter RFIC is designed and implemented in a 0.15 µm InGaAs pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) foundry process. A crucial goal for the design is to achieve high input second-order intercept point (IIP2) that is required in a direct-conversion WiMAX receiver. The adaptive biasing at the switching stage of this downconverter is used to compensate the unbalance of the input LO signals for improving the IIP2. The technique presented here enhances the IIP2 by 18.8 dBm without at the expense of reducing the conversion gain.

An internal mobile antenna covering multiband for LTE (746 – 806 MHz), GSM850 (824 – 894 MHz), GSM900 (880 – 960 MHz), PCS1900 (1850 – 1990 MHz), WiMAX (3.4 – 3.6 GHz) and WLAN (5.15 – 5.85 GHz) frequency bands is proposed. In order to satisfy the operation at WLAN frequency band, a metal branch is placed near the feeding point. It is shown that the operation at low frequency bands (LTE / GSM850 / GSM900) can be achieved by increasing the length of the ground. Considering the size of the commercial mobile phones, more practical design which exhibits the similar effect that can be attained by increasing the length of the ground is proposed. The antenna was fabricated and its measured results of return loss and radiation patterns at each frequency bands are presented. FR4 substrate with relative permittivity of 4.4 was used. The overall size of the proposed antenna is 40 × 100 × 5 mm3.

A three-stage power amplifier will be described which was designed for 5W or better power over many octaves. A mixed topology was chosen to obtain the best bandwidth and power. First two stages are single-ended feedback designs for best gain and linear drive for the output. The last stage is a distributed PA, which is optimized to achieve high output power and high drain efficiency. The PA is designed and fabricated using discrete 2W GaN transistor die in all stages in a mixed hybrid and softboard medium. The design was fully simulated. Both measurement results and the theoretical predictions will be presented. This GaN PA has over 43 dB linear gain with good port match and it provides greater than 37 dBm of saturated power and over 20% PAE in the 0.02 to 3 GHz frequency range.

In this contribution a radar assisted method is presented for the search for persons buried e.g. in collapsed buildings. Classical detection technology covers borescopes and geophones in combination with K-9 units (search and rescue dogs) for search and rescue missions in ruins, detritus and cones of debris. An improved and time efficient approach for search of vital signs can be realized with UWB (ultra wide band) radar systems, where a very short wide band pulse is transmitted, or with continuous wave (CW) radar systems for measuring movements like respiration. But instead of searching these vital sings, the presented method aims for people carrying electronic RF-devices. The search for these electronic RF-devices can be assisted with pulse radar systems. Frequency filters of such devices can be exposed to a radar pulse near the filters' resonance frequency and an echo can be detected, which enables the localization of the device and hopefully of the owner, too.
