K波段环形平衡混频器的仿真设计

针对在毫米波段,由于波长较短,对3dB电桥结构来说,每臂太短且太宽,使电桥难于实现;而对环形结构来说,环的特性阻抗高,微带线窄,环的周长大,达到制造误差和设计误差都较小的目标。本文提出了一种K波段环形平衡混频器的设计方法,采用ADS的co-simulation工具对其进行了仿真,重点分析了隔离度、变频损耗和线性度方面的问题。文中给出了仿真测试数据,对数据进行了分析。并根据仿真结果可以得出该混频器具有较好的隔离度,变频损耗和线性度。     

A novel compact low-power direct conversion receiver for mobile UHF RFID reader

A novel direct conversion receiver with low cost and low power is implemented in a 0.18 μm 1P6M standard CMOS process for a Mobile UHF RFID reader.A highly linear active mixer with low flicker noise and low noise active load is proposed.An efficient and low cost on-chip DC offset voltage canceling scheme is adopted with a high-input-impedance four-input OPAMP to buffer the output of the DC offset canceller(DCOC) block.The receiver has a measured input 1 dB compression point of 2 dBm and a sensitivity of 72 dBm in the presence of the large leakage signal from the transmitter.Only occupying a silicon area of 2.5 mm 2 and consuming 21 mA from a 1.8 V supply,the receiver makes the mobile UHF RFID reader to communicate with a transponder in a distance of 1 m conveniently.     

Dimensional analysis for planetary mixer: Mixing time and Reynolds numbers

Mixing time number is a convenient parameter to characterize mixing performance of stirred tanks. This dimensionless number is now well established for agitated vessels equipped with vertically and centrally mounted impeller for Newtonian as well as for non-Newtonian fluids. To our knowledge, there is more ambiguity concerning its definition for planetary mixers especially when they have dual motion (around two perpendicular axes) to achieve homogenization. In this study, dimensional analysis of mixing time and reliability of the modified Reynolds and mixing time numbers are proposed for such a planetary mixer particularly named as TRIAXE^® system. These two numbers are based on the maximum tip speed of mixer as the characteristic velocity. Modified dimensionless numbers are consistent with the definition of conventional Reynolds and mixing numbers (when only one revolving motion around the vertical axis of the mixing device occurs in the vessel).Mixing time experiments with TRIAXE^® mixer for highly viscous Newtonian fluids showed that the proposed modified Reynolds and mixing time numbers succeeded to obtain a unique mixing curve irrespective of the different speed ratio chosens. This agreement proves that the proposed modified dimensionless numbers can be well adapted for engineering purposes and they can be used to compare the mixing performance of planetary mixers.
