Wideband asymmetric microstrip‐fed circularly polarized antenna with monofilar spiral stub for WLAN application

A wideband circularly polarized printed antenna is proposed and fabricated, which employs monofilar spiral stubs and a slit in the asymmetrical ground plane which are fed by an inverted L‐shaped microstrip feedline. The CP operation is realized by embedding an inverted‐L shaped strip and modified ground plane and can be markedly improved by loading monofilar spiral stubs asymmetrically connected at the edge of the ground plane. After optimization, the measured results of the finally structure demonstrate that a 10‐dB bandwidth of 67.6% from 4.6 to 9.3 GHz and a 3‐dB axial‐ratio bandwidth (ARBW) for circular polarization (CP) of 60.1% from 5 to 9.3 GHz could be achieved which could completely cover the WLAN (5.725‐5.85 GHz) band. Therefore, the proposed antenna is suitable for circular polarization applications in C band. To explain the mechanism of broadband circular polarization operation, the analysis of magnetic fields distributions and a parametric study of the design are given. Compared to other recent works, a simpler structure, wider axial ratio and impedance bandwidths and a more compact size are the key features of the proposed antenna.     

Development of broadband forward‐wave directional couplers loaded by periodic patterned ground structure

In this paper two wideband Forward‐Wave Directional Couplers (FWDCs) with 0 dB and 3 dB coupling level are proposed. Using periodic patterned ground structure in a microstrip coupled lines by a new unit cell; even‐ and odd‐mode characteristic impedances of the couplers are equal over a wide frequency range. Moreover, it provides a constant phase difference between even and odd‐modes. The proposed cell is modeled using the equivalent circuit model and a design procedure is introduced for designing FWDCs for an arbitrary value of coupling level. The introduced couplers are numerically investigated and a prototype of both couplers is made. It is shown that for 0 dB coupling level, the measured coupling is 0.85 dB with 1 dB flatness over fractional bandwidth of 96% bandwidth. In case of 3 dB coupling, the measured coupling level is 3.5 dB at 7.42 GHz with 1 dB flatness over fractional bandwidth of 67.1%.

有线数字广播中高阶QAM信号的载波同步与均衡器设计

针对ITU-T J.83标准,结合有线数字广播的信道特征,提出一种适用于高阶QAM信号的载波同步与自适应均衡的联合设计方案。该方案在均衡部分采用常模数算法(CMA)和最小均方误差算法(LMS)的双模均衡算法。通过算法的切换达到快速收敛和降低均方误差(MSE)的目的;针对高阶QAM信号,载波同步环路首先选用极性判决算法,并采用带宽较大的环路滤波器系数,使环路能在短时间内进行大范围频偏捕获。然后调低环路滤波器系数,减小环路带宽,进而降低稳态抖动。环路最后切换到判决指示算法,使相位均方差降至最低。整个方案通过算法验证并在Altera Stratix Ⅱ系列EP2S130F1020C5型现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)上完成了布局布线。最高工作频率为90.47MHz。
