Systematic design of 7‐to‐40‐GHz on‐chip mixer based on optimal impedance deviation coefficient

In this article, a 7‐GHz to 40‐GHz ultra‐wideband passive double‐balanced mixer MMIC using compact wideband Marchand balun (CWMB) is presented. The CWMB is analyzed and designed by introducing a novel optimal impedance deviation coefficient. A trade‐off between the needed bandwidth and the acceptable insertion loss in an ultra‐wideband passive‐doubly‐balanced mixer design can be made through introducing the optimal impedance deviation coefficient. Finally, to verify the proposed methodology, a compact wideband passive double‐balanced mixer monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) was designed and fabricated using a standard gallium arsenide (GaAs) pHEMT technology according to the process characteristics. Experimental results show that an ultra‐wideband mixer MMIC is realized from 7 GHz to 40 GHz (140% fractional bandwidth) with a measured conversion loss between 9.5 dB~12.5 dB (in‐band fluctuation less than 3 dB) and a LO‐to‐RF isolation larger than 34 dB. The measurement results are in good agreement with the simulation results.     

S-transformation based integrated approach for spectrum estimation,storage, and sensing in cognitive radio

Cognitive Radio (CR) uses the principle of dynamic spectrum allocation to improve the utilization of spectrum bands. The estimation of missing data is essential for maintaining an uninterrupted quality of service in the CR. However, the existing methods are not suitable for interpolating missing data in high frequency signals. The storage of spectrum occupancy information is crucial for learning the spectrum usage and prediction. The existing techniques for wideband spectrum sensing suffer from poor edge detection capabilities. This paper proposes an S-Transformation (ST) based approach to solve these problems. For missing samples, the proposed method improves the accuracy of estimation. The ST can also be used to store the spectrum occupancy information. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms others by improving the accuracy of edge detection. Further, the simple implementation of the ST in the frequency domain is an advantage for the real time application.

An inductorless wideband common-gate LNA with dual capacitor cross-coupled feedback and negative impedance techniques

A wideband common-gate (CG) low-noise amplifier (LNA) with dual capacitor cross-coupled (CCC) feedback and negative impedance techniques is presented for multimode multiband wireless communication applications. Double CCC technique boosts the input transconductance of the LNA, and low power consumption is obtained by using current-reuse technique. Negative impedance technique is employed to alleviate the correlation between the transconductance of the matching transistors and input impedance. Meanwhile, it also allows us to achieve a lower noise figure (NF). Moreover, current bleeding technique is adopted to allow the choice of a larger load resistor without sacrificing the voltage headroom. The proposed architecture achieves low noise, low power and high gain simultaneously without the use of bulky inductors. Simulation results of a 0.18-μm CMOS implementation show that the proposed LNA provides a maximum voltage gain of 25.02 dB and a minimum NF of 2.37 dB from 0.1 to 2.25 GHz. The input-referred third-order intercept point (IIP3) and input 1-dB compression point (IP_1dB) are better than –7.8 dBm and –19.2 dBm, respectively, across the operating bandwidth. The circuit dissipates 3.24 mW from 1.8 V DC supply with an active area of 0.03 mm².

Robustness analysis of nearfield subband beamformers in the presence of microphone gain and phase errors

Subband beamforming has found many applications in microphone array processing field, due to its advantages over the fullband counterpart. In this paper, the performance of nearfield subband beamformers for arbitrary arrays in the presence of microphone gain and phase errors is studied from the perspective of statistical analysis. Through the bias and variance analysis of array response, some insightful properties on the robustness of nearfield subband beamformers have been derived. It is shown that the robustness of nearfield subband beamformers is dependent on the source-to-array distance, i.e., the robustness will deteriorate when the source is close to microphone arrays. Moreover, the variation in sound speed, i.e., the temperature in homogeneous environments, has little effect on the robustness performance of subband beamformers. The theoretical results are further verified by several numerical examples on nearfield subband beamformers.
