Band switching capacitors are adopted to extend the frequency tuning range, and the phase noise is optimized in the design procedure. The functional relationships between the phase noise and the transistors＇ width-length ratios are deduced by a linear time variant （LTV） model. The theoretical optimized parameter value ranges are determined. To simplify the calculation, the working region is split into several sub-ranges according to transistor working conditions. Thus, a lot of integrations are avoided, and the phase noise function upon the design variables can be expressed as simple proportion formats. Test results show that the DC current is 8.8 mA under a voltage supply of 1.8 V; the frequency range is 1.17 to 1.90 GHz, and the phase noise reaches - 83 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset from the carrier. The chip size is 1. 2 mm × 0. 9 mm.展开更多

The most significant improvement on the VCO is that the cross-coupled MOSFET pairs are divided into several switchable parts so the characteristics can compensate the state change that results from the frequency tuning of the oscillator. This VCO is implemented in 0, 18μm CMOS with a core area of about 550μm × 700μm. The test results show that the tuning range covers 31-111MHz with a power consumption between 0.3-6. 9mW and a phase noise at a 100kHz offset of about - 110dBc/Hz.展开更多

文摘Wideband spectrum sensing with a high-speed analog-digital converter(ADC) presents a challenge for practical systems.The Nyquist folding receiver(NYFR) is a promising scheme for achieving cost-effective real-time spectrum sensing,which is subject to the complexity of processing the modulated outputs.In this case,a multipath NYFR architecture with a step-sampling rate for the different paths is proposed.The different numbers of digital channels for each path are designed based on the Chinese remainder theorem(CRT).Then,the detectable frequency range is divided into multiple frequency grids,and the Nyquist zone(NZ) of the input can be obtained by sensing these grids.Thus,high-precision parameter estimation is performed by utilizing the NYFR characteristics.Compared with the existing methods,the scheme proposed in this paper overcomes the challenge of NZ estimation,information damage,many computations,low accuracy,and high false alarm probability.Comparative simulation experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed architecture in this paper.
文摘In mmWave massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)communication systems,the extension of low-complexity narrowband precoding schemes to be operated on wideband systems under frequency-selective channels remains an important challenge at the current time.This paper investigates a low complexity wideband hybrid precoding scheme for mmWave massive MIMO multicarrier systems under a single-user,fully-connected hybrid architecture.We show that the radio frequency(RF)precoding/combining vectors can be directly derived from the eigenvectors of the optimal fully-digital covariance matrix over all subcarriers in order to maximize the sum rate of spectral efficiency.We also suggest a new method that iteratively reduces the residual error between the covariance matrix and the sum of products of precoding matrices over all the subcarriers to improve the performance in the case where the number of RF chains is higher than the number of streams.The results of the simulation show that the proposed schemes’complexity is low compared to the present methods,and their performance can almost reach the upper bound achieved by the optimal full-baseband design.

文摘We present preliminary investigations of a potential optics system for wideband X-ray telescopes.The optical design adopts the conical approximation of the Wolter-I configuration and a combination of multilayer coatings and silicon pore optics.The total number of mirror modules is 79,distributed in 8 rows with the radii at the intersection plane between 250 mm and 500 mm.The optimization of the total effective area using the figure of merits method suggests that the focal length is 30 m and the mirror coating is a combination of the W/Si and Pt/C multilayers.This fulfills the on-axis effective area requirements of 2000 cm^(2) at 10 keV and 300 cm^(2) at 60 keV and provides a broad energy response between 3 keV and 78.4 keV.With the current geometry and coating compositions,we implement a mass modeling of the telescope in Geant4 to predict mirror performances via the ray-tracing algorithm,including the angular resolution and effective area.With the presumed metrological data as input,this can provide precision and finishing requirements for the manufacture of optics.This work demonstrates the feasibility of combining multilayer coatings and silicon pore optics for potential use in wideband X-ray telescopes and advances the development and progress of such missions.

The antenna occupies about 16.62 GHz absolute bandwidth and 142.7% relative bandwidth covering from 3.38 GHz to 20 GHz with voltage standing wave ratio （VSWR） below two. A quasi-omnidirectional and quasi-symmetrical radiation pattern in H plane is obtained in the whole bandwidth. The high performance of the antenna is validated with measured and simulated results given. The antenna can be applied for the system design of UWB wireless communication.
文摘A 4-12GHz wideband power amplifier,using a balanced configuration with a strip line Lange coupler, is designed and fabricated.

文摘A wideband LC cross-coupled voltage controlled oscillator（VCO） is designed and realized with standard 0. 18 μm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor（CMOS） technology. Band switching capacitors are adopted to extend the frequency tuning range, and the phase noise is optimized in the design procedure. The functional relationships between the phase noise and the transistors＇ width-length ratios are deduced by a linear time variant （LTV） model. The theoretical optimized parameter value ranges are determined. To simplify the calculation, the working region is split into several sub-ranges according to transistor working conditions. Thus, a lot of integrations are avoided, and the phase noise function upon the design variables can be expressed as simple proportion formats. Test results show that the DC current is 8.8 mA under a voltage supply of 1.8 V; the frequency range is 1.17 to 1.90 GHz, and the phase noise reaches - 83 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset from the carrier. The chip size is 1. 2 mm × 0. 9 mm.
文摘This paper presents a VHF CMOS VCO. The most significant improvement on the VCO is that the cross-coupled MOSFET pairs are divided into several switchable parts so the characteristics can compensate the state change that results from the frequency tuning of the oscillator. This VCO is implemented in 0, 18μm CMOS with a core area of about 550μm × 700μm. The test results show that the tuning range covers 31-111MHz with a power consumption between 0.3-6. 9mW and a phase noise at a 100kHz offset of about - 110dBc/Hz.

文摘In order to solve the cross-channel signal problem caused by the uniform channelized wideband digital receiver when processing wideband signal and the problem that the sensitivity of the system greatly decreases when the bandwidth of wideband digital receiver increases,which both decrease the wideband radar signal detection performance,a new wideband digital receiver based on the modulated wideband converter(MWC)discrete compressed sampling structure and an energy detection method based on the new receiver are proposed.Firstly,the proposed receiver utilizes periodic pseudo-random sequences to mix wideband signals with baseband and other sub-bands.Then the mixed signals are low-pass filtered and downsampled to obtain the baseband compressed sampling data,which can increase the sensitivity of the system.Meanwhile,the cross-channel signal will all appear in any subbands,so the cross-channel signal problem can be solved easily by processing the baseband compressed sampling data.Secondly,we establish the signal detection model and formulate the criterion of the energy detection method.And we directly utilize the baseband compressed sampling data to carry out signal detection without signal reconstruction,which decreases the complexity of the algorithm and reduces the computational burden.Finally,simulation experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed receiver and show that the proposed signal detection method is effective in low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)compared with the conventional energy detection and the probability of detection increases significantly when SNR increases.
