This paper presents the influence of arithmetic underflow rounding operations on the speed of FDTD analysis. It is shown that the underflow treatment according to the IEEE standard 754 (commonly accepted and implemented in modern arithmetic processors) may sometimes result in drastic slowdown of the speed of computing. The effect is much more pronounced in some of the most modern and most used processors. The ways to circumvent the effect by specific software operations are discussed.

The work presented here is for the design of an absorptive low pass filter for use in the time and frequency domain. The filter presented is absorptive in the stop band, flat in group delay to twice the half power frequency and near-Gaussian in shape. The design of the low pass filter is general with design examples in microstrip and coplanar waveguide at 40 GHz. Frequency domain measurements to 110 GHz and time domain measurements at 40 Gbits/s are presented. The absorptive filter presented has uses in pulse shaping, rise time alteration and harmonic matching.

In this paper, we present a Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) based multilayer packaging technology combined with RF-MEMS technology and its emergence as an ideal platform for low cost, multi-band and reconfigurable RF front-end module integration. LCP's very low water absorption (0.04%), low cost and high electrical performance makes it very appealing for RF applications. Here, we describe the characterization of LCP material up to W band, design of single input single output (SISO) dual band filters with insertion loss as low as 2.4 dB in L band and 1.8 dB in C band respectively. MEMS-SOP switch fabrication and finally integration of C band wireless LAN (WLAN) module demonstrates the potential for compact, multiband and reconfigurable systems. This is the first complete report on the combination of LCP with RF-MEMS technology as a new approach towards the System-On-Package (SOP) solutions for wireless communication applications.

This paper presents an analysis of a completely shielded conductor-backed slotline using the spectral domain technique. Attention is paid to dominant and higher order modes with even symmetry of the transversal electric field component in the slot parallel to the dielectric interface. The dependence of the phase constant and the characteristic impedance of the line on cross-sectional size, permittivities and frequency are given. It has turned out that the line is suitable for circuit design when the dominant requirement is for low characteristic impedance. Numerical examples highlight particular aspects of the mode propagation over the line. The consequence of setting /spl epsiv//sub 0/ in the whole cross-section of the line is a waveguide containing a partition in the H plane with a longitudinal slot. An analysis of this guide by the spectral domain method is presented and typical frequency dependent phase constant and characteristic impedance patterns are shown.

We report the experimental and theoretical evaluation of the noise and the high frequency gain performances applied to a very short channel 90-nm CMOS transistor. We show that gate leakage currents modify the behavior of the noise parameters Rn, Fmin and Zopt only in the low gigahertz range. The gate resistance, Rg, on the contrary, have influence on the noise performance over the complete frequency range. Noise parameters have been measured in the frequency range 2-26 GHz and the S-parameters have been measured up to 62.5 GHz. The proposed model has been used in the design of a 2-stage 40 GHz amplifier.

A new amplifier linearization methodology using an anti-parallel reconfigurable transistor (ART) pair is proposed. Unlike conventional linearization methods in which only one technique is employed, our ART method utilizes all terminals of an additional transistor and provides a unified pre-, post- and cubic-polynomial distortion technique for performance enhancement. Experimental results reveal a 42 dB reduction for the third-order intermodulation distortion (IMD3) and 15 dB for the fifth-order (IMD5) at 2.1 GHz operation band. The input 1-dB gain compression point and phase distortion have been improved effectively up to 8 dB and 15/spl deg/, respectively, under a 5-V operation voltage. Meanwhile, the proposed approach demonstrates a peak power added efficiency (PAE) of 61% with 16 dB transducer gain and 21 dBm output power for a single stage low-power SiGe BJT transistor. The adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) is maintained over -45 and -60 dBc for a W-CDMA and PHS modulated signal, respectively, under a wide range of output power.

A key parameter in the design trade-offs made during AlGaN/GaN HEMTs development for microwave amplifiers is the channel temperature. An accurate determination can generally only be found using detailed software; however, a quick estimate is always helpful, as it speeds up the design cycle. This paper gives a simple technique to estimate the channel temperature of a generic AlGaN/GaN HEMT on SiC or sapphire, while incorporating the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity. The procedure is validated by comparing its predictions with the experimentally measured temperatures in microwave devices presented in three recently published articles. The model predicts the temperature to within 5 to 10 percent of the true average channel temperature.

This paper presents a single aperture multibeam spatial power combining system that can support two separate polarizations. A Rotman lens is used as the power dividing network, which also has the ability to scan the beam over discrete angles. 1/spl times/9 dual polarized array was designed to demonstrate the beam steering in azimuth plane. The entire system is designed for the Ka band, with a center frequency of 32.5 GHz. The use of MMIC amplifiers allow for high power multibeam capabilities. Through simulations and measurements, a /spl plusmn/30 degree scan range was achieved for the horizontal and vertical polarizations.
