Accurate analysis of spectral regrowth of nonlinear power amplifier driven by cyclostationary modulated signals

In this paper we present an exact analytical expression to calculate the spectral regrowth at the output of a nonlinear power amplifier (PA) using the higher order cumulants and Poisson summation formula. This PA is driven by the filtered digitally modulated signals. To improve the accuracy of the calculations, the cyclosationarity of the input signal is considered. Moreover, closed-form expressions for the 1-dB compression and saturation points are extracted as a function of the PA model parameters, higher order statistics of the input signal, and the transfer function of the pulse shaping filter. In addition, an analytical expression for the adjacent channel power (ACP) and a closed-form expression of the ACP ratio are derived. This is followed by investigation of the effect of the PA nonlinearity on the performance of receiver. Simulation studies are carried out to verify the accuracy of the derived expressions. Excellent agreement between the analytical and simulation results is achieved.

Spectral analysis of nonlinear amplifier based on the complex gainTaylor series expansion

A method of spectral analysis for a nonlinear amplifier driven by a Gaussian signal is presented. The technique is based on the Taylor series expansion of the complex gain of an amplifier. Therefore, it takes into account both amplitude-amplitude modulation (AM/AM) and amplitude-phase modulation (AM/PM) conversions and requires only an input signal autocorrelation (or power spectral density) and AM/AM and AM/PM measurements without any additional calculations     

A cascode modulated class-E power amplifier for wireless communications

A cascode modulated CMOS class-E power amplifier (PA) is presented in this paper. It is shown that by applying a modulated signal to the gate of the cascode transistor the output power is modulated. The main advantage of the proposed technique is a high 35 dB output power dynamic range. The peak power added efficiency (PAE) is 35%. The concept of the cascode power control of class-E RF PA operating at 2.2 GHz with 18 dBm output power was implemented in a CMOS technology and the performance has been verified by measurements. The prototype CMOS PA is tested by single tone excitation and by enhanced data rates for GSM evolution (EDGE) modulated signal. Digital predistortion is used to linearize the transfer characteristic. The EDGE spectrum mask is met and the rms error vector magnitude (EVM) is less than 4° in the entire output power range.

N-beam nonlinear traveling-wave amplifier analysis

In large-diameter electron stream traveling-wave amplifiers there is a significant variation of the circuit electric field across the stream. Most analyses neglect the effects of these field variations. An approximate method has been used to study the effect of transverse field variations on the gain and effciency of large-signal traveling-wave amplifiers. The annular electron stream is subdivided into a number of annular rings each containing an equal fraction of the total current. It is assumed that the circuit field varies over the stream cross section and that each segment has a different coupling to the circuit. The space-charge field is assumed independent of radius. The effect on gain and efficiency is calculated for a stream diameter of B = 1 and it is found that a subdivision of the stream into two segments with different couplings to the circuit gives a lower saturation efficiency but that further subdivision does not appreciably charge the results.     

A 1.75-GHz polar modulated CMOS RF power amplifier for GSM-EDGE

This work presents a fully integrated linearized CMOS RF amplifier, integrated in a 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS process. The amplifier is implemented on a single chip, requiring no external matching or tuning networks. Peak output power is 27 dBm with a power-added efficiency (PAE) of 34%. The amplitude modulator, implemented on the same chip as the RF amplifier, modulates the supply voltage of the RF amplifier. This results in a power efficient amplification of nonconstant envelope RF signals. The RF power amplifier and amplitude modulator are optimized for the amplification of EDGE signals. The EDGE spectral mask and EVM requirements are met over a wide power range. The maximum EDGE output power is 23.8 dBm and meets the class E3 power requirement of 22 dBm. The corresponding output spectrum at 400 and 600 kHz frequency offset is -59 dB and -70 dB. The EVM has an RMS value of 1.60% and a peak value of 5.87%.     

Statistical analysis for multiplicatively modulated nonlinear autoregressive model and its applications to electrophysiological signal analysis in humans

Modulating the dynamics of a nonlinear autoregressive model with a radial basis function (RBF) of exogenous variables is known to reduce the prediction error. Here, RBF is a function that decays to zero exponentially if the deviation between the exogenous variables and a center location becomes large. This paper introduces a class of RBF-based multiplicatively modulated nonlinear autoregressive (mmNAR) models. First, we establish the local asymptotic normality (LAN) for vector conditional heteroscedastic autoregressive nonlinear (CHARN) models, which include the mmNAR and many other well-known time-series models as special cases. Asymptotic optimality for estimation and testing is described in terms of LAN properties. The mmNAR model indicates goodness-of-fit for surface electromyograms (EMG) using electrocorticograms (ECoG) as the exogenous variables. Concretely, it is found that the negative potential of the motor cortex forces change in the frequency of EMG, which is reasonable from a physiological point of view. The proposed mmNAR model fitting is both useful and efficient as a signal-processing technique for extracting information on the action potential, which is associated with the postsynaptic potential.

Analysis of nonlinear behavior of power HBTs

To accurately understand the linear characteristics of a heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT), we developed an analytical nonlinear HBT model using Volterra-series analysis. The model considers four nonlinear components: r_π, C_diff, C_depl, and g_m. It shows that nonlinearities of r _π and C_diff are almost completely canceled by g _m nonlinearity at all frequencies. The residual g_m nonlinearity is highly degenerated by input circuit impedances. Therefore, r_π, C_diff, C_depl, and g _m nonlinearities generate less harmonics than C_bc nonlinearity. If C_bc is linearized, g_m is the main nonlinear source of HBT, and C_depl becomes very important at a high frequency. The degeneration resistor R_E is more effective than R_B for reducing g_m nonlinearity. This analysis also shows the dependency of the third-order intermodulation (IM3) on the terminations of the source second harmonic impedances. The IM3 of HBT is significantly reduced by setting the second harmonic impedances of Z_S,_2ω2 = 0 and Z_S,_ω2-ω1 = 0     

Multichannel AM-VSB television signal transmission using anerbium-doped optical fiber power amplifier

The use of an erbium-doped optical fiber power amplifier in a multichannel amplitude-modulated vestigial-sideband CATV transmission system for potential subscriber loop applications is discussed. Using a color-center laser pump at 1.48 μm, a fiber-to-fiber gain of 11.5 dB (at 1.539 μm), which is 10 dB compressed from the small-signal gain, and a total system power margin of 15 dB were achieved. No intermodulation distortion was introduced by the fiber amplifier. The received video SNR of 40-46 dB was limited by the linearity of the distributed-feedback laser diode used     

New modified saleh models for memoryless nonlinear power amplifier behavioural modelling

A new generic modified Saleh (MS) model for use in memoryless nonlinear power amplifier (PA) behavioural modelling is proposed. The model was evolved primarily to overcome some particular weaknesses in the original Saleh model when handling the polar AM-PM envelope modelling. From it new twoparameter MS polar models are derived. By modelling a nearmemoryless LDMOS PA amplifying a WCDMA signal, evidence of the improvement in modelling accuracy and performance of the MS over the original Saleh for both polar and quadrature models is provided.

Spectral properties of Rayleigh backscattered light fromsingle-mode fibers caused by a modulated probe signal

The statistical properties of Rayleigh backscattering from single-mode fibers are investigated, taking into account the modulation and the coherence of the source light. The autocorrelation function and the power spectral density of the backscattered field and intensity are derived. To describe the noise due to Rayleigh backscattering in bidirectional systems, the spectrum of the interference of backscattered light with reflected source light is also calculated. The measurements confirm the theoretical results. It is shown that, if no optical isolator is used and the laser diode is exposed to Rayleigh backscattering, the interaction between laser and fiber depends strongly on the modulation of the light
