  2. 1. Microwave and millimeter wave CMOS Characterization, modeling, and design

    Author : Mattias Ferndahl; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; load-pull; microwave; large-signal; silicon; characterization; modeling; balun; LSNA; frequency doubler; millimeter wave; power amplifier; CMOS;

    Abstract : The use of CMOS technologies for microwave and millimeter wave applications has recently been made possible as a result of increased transistor performance. The fT and fmax have, for example, passed 100 GHz at the 130 nm node and 200 GHz at the 65 nm node. READ MORE

  4. 2. Nonlinear Characterisation and Modelling of Microwave Semiconductor Devices

    Author : Mattias Thorsell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; noise modelling; nonlinear measurement; active load-pull; noise measurement; thermal characterisation; AlGaN GaN HEMT; nonlinear modelling;

    Abstract : There is an increasing need for more accurate models taking into account the nonlinearities and memory effects of microwave transistors. The memory effects are especially important for transistor technologies suffering from relatively large low frequency dispersion, such as GaN baed HEMTs. READ MORE

  5. 3. Nonlinear Microwave Measurement Architectures for Wideband Device Characterization

    Author : Sebastian Gustafsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nonlinear characterization; wideband; GaN HEMT; oscilloscope; microwave; active load-pull;

    Abstract : The global surge for ubiquitous mobile communication requiring high speed and high capacity cellular networks has resulted in a golden age for the development of wireless technology. Modern cellular standards employ complex modulation formats with wider signal bandwidths to cope with the growing demand. READ MORE

  6. 4. Analytical Approaches to Load Modulation Power Amplifier Design

    Author : William Hallberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; linear; load modulated balanced amplifier LMBA ; Active load-pull; radio frequency RF ; Wilkinson power divider.; load modulation; energy efficiency; microwave; power amplifier PA ; Doherty;

    Abstract : In future mobile communication networks, there will be a shift toward higher carrier frequencies and highly integrated multiple antenna systems. The system performance will largely depend on the available radio frequency (RF) hardware. As such, RF power amplifiers (PAs) with improved performance, e.g. READ MORE

  7. 5. SiC Varactors for Dynamic Load Modulation of Microwave Power Amplifiers
