Cuber predistortion linearizer for relay equipment in 800 MHz band land mobile telephone system

New relay equipment for a tunnel relay system used in an 800 MHz band land mobile telephone network has been developed. Significant improvements in size and power consumption have been achieved using a predistortion (PD) circuit to compensate for third-order intermodulation (IM) distortion generated in the power amplifier. This predistortion circuit features a simple configuration and easy adjustment, as well as high distortion reduction performance. The circuit configuration is derived from an analysis based on a complex power series representation of input-output nonlinearities for microwave transistor amplifiers. This analysis shows that two kinds of nonlinearities, AM-AM and AM-PM conversions, are uniquely related through the third-order distortion phase, In addition, an automatically controlled predistortion system is introduced to establish an adjustment and maintenance-free compensator. Using the developed predistortion circuit, a stable distortion reduction of more than 20 dB per 25 MHz bandwidth has been attained.

800 MHz mobile radio propagation prediction using Kalman filteringtechniques

A method is presented to derive a propagation model to predict the received median signal voltage for an 800-MHz mobile radio system. Results are given of an investigation into the performance of a particular model that was derived using this method. The method uses a Kalman filter that uses propagation measurements to derive a best fit for a particular propagation model to the measured data. The model that was derived is based on propagation measurements made in the State of Florida. The new propagation model uses a plane-Earth propagation model that is corrected with an environmental propagation loss term that takes into account the various environmental effects near the mobile unit. The parameters in the environmental propagation loss model were determined using a Kalman filter that computes minimum mean square estimates of the parameters using measured propagation data. The environmental propagation loss term accounts for the effects of Earth diffraction, hills, valleys, urban and suburban areas, bare and grass-covered ground, bushes, trees, swamps, and propagation over fresh and salt water. It was found that, with the 800-MHz propagation model derived with this method, the prediction error for the received median signal voltage had a standard deviation of 5.08 dB     

A comparison of prediction methods for 800 MHz mobile radio propagation

The design and installation of a mobile radio system involves the evaluation or prediction of the propagation characteristics associated with the geographical area of interest. A wide variety of prediction techniques has been developed for different mobile environments, so that the task of selecting an appropriate propagation prediction method can be difficult and complex. This is especially true for systems operating in the upper-UHF band of 800-950 MHz, where mobile radio services are rapidly growing. A practical comparison is given of current prediction techniques available in the literature (for slow lognormal fading rather than multipath Rayleigh fading), with an emphasis on three essential criteria to consider in the selection process: the type of terrain or geography covered by each method, the form of prediction provided (e.g., transmission loss estimates, field strength contour maps, etc.), and the implementation difficulty and degree of sophistication.

Low power high data rate wireless endoscopy transceiver

A low power high data rate wireless endoscopy transceiver is presented. Transceiver architecture, circuit topologies and design trade-offs have been considered carefully to satisfy the tight requirements of the medical endoscopy capsule: lower power consumption, high integration degree and high data rate. The prototype, implemented in 0.25 μm CMOS, integrates a super-heterodyne receiver and a super-heterodyne transmitter on a single chip together with an integrated RF local oscillator and LO buffers. The digital modulation and demodulation is also implemented in analog field and no data converters are needed for the whole endoscopy capsule. The measured sensitivity of the receiver is about −70 dBm with a data rate 256 kbps, and the measured output power of the transmitter could achieve −23 dBm with a data rate 1 Mbps. The transceiver operates from a power supply of 2.5 V, while only consuming 15 mW in receiver (RX) mode and 14 mW in transmitter (TX) mode.     

Microwave SAW bandpass filters for spacecraft applications

Microwave SAW bandpass filters for spacecraft applications are described. Two SAW bandpass filters were designed and fabricated in the 1.5 GHz band using temperature-stable ST-cut quartz substrates. The SAW bandpass filters were then assembled in a SAW filter bank. One unique feature of the SAW filter bank is that a broader band is available merely by adding the outputs of SAW bandpass filters adjacent in the frequency domain. Measured electrical responses as well as results of a transmission experiment show satisfactory performance. Effects of the temperature and aging stability characteristics are investigated based on the measured and calculated responses     

A high performance baseband transceiver for SISO-/MIMO-OFDA uplink communications

In this paper, a single-input single-output-/multipleinput multiple-output- (SISO-/MIMO-) OFDMA uplink baseband transceiver based on IEEE 802.16e-2005 is proposed. To compensate for the interference of carrier frequency offset (CFO), an inter-carrier interference-based (ICI-cancellationbased) CFO estimator in conjunction with channel estimation and MIMO detector is proposed. Moreover, a low complexity solution for implementation is also provided. Simulation results show that the mean-square-error (MSE) performance of the proposed CFO estimator can be reduced to about one tenth compared to other methods and the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of the proposed transceiver is quite close to that of an ideal system that doesn?t include CFO compensation.     

A single-chip tri-band (2100, 1900, 850/800 MHz) WCDMA/HSDPA cellular transceiver

This paper describes the design and performance of the first tri-band (2100, 1900, 800/850 MHz) single-chip 3G cellular transceiver IC for worldwide use. The transceiver has been designed to meet all narrowband blocker, newly proposed Adjacent Channel II, and Category 10 HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) requirements. The design is part of a reconfigurable reference platform for multi-band, multi-mode (GSM/EDGE + WCDMA) radios. The zero-IF receiver is comprised of a novel multi-band quadrature mixer, seventh-order baseband filtering, and a novel DC offset correction scheme, which exhibits no settling time or peak switching transients after gain steps. The receiver lineup is designed to optimize HSDPA throughput and minimize sensitivity to analog baseband filter bandwidth variations. The direct-launch transmitter is made up of a third-order baseband filter, an I/Q modulator with variable gain, an integrated transformer, an RF variable gain amplifier, and a power amplifier driver. At +9.5-dBm output power, the transmitter achieves an error vector magnitude (EVM) of 4%. Fractional-N synthesizers achieve fast lock times of 50 /spl mu/s (150 /spl mu/s) within 20 ppm (0.1 ppm). Automatically calibrated, integrated VCOs achieve a 1.6-GHz tuning range to facilitate coverage over all six 3GPP frequency bands. The IC draws 34 mA in receive (18-mA receiver plus 16-mA fractional-N PLL/VCO) and 50 to 62 mA in transmit (-76 dBm to +9.5 dBm), including PLL/VCO, using a 2.775-V supply voltage. The RF transceiver is integrated with the baseband signal processing and associated passives in a 165-pad package, resulting in the first tri-band 3G radio transceiver with a digital interface which requires no external components.
