    摘要: The power amplifier mainly includes a main amplifier, two splitters, one combiner, one subtracter, two phase shifters, one attenuator and one error amplifier. The splitters, subtracter and combiner are designed in the form of 90-degree or quadrature hybrid couplers. A quadrature hybrid can be implemented with any lumped or transmission-line elements and has an important advantage compared to the in-phase splitter that at equal values of reflection coefficients from loads connected to the in phase and 90° phase shift terminals, the reflection wave is lacking at the main input terminal and, consequently, the input voltage standing wave ratio of a quadrature hybrid does not depend on the equal load mismatch level.

    摘要: The invention concerns a radio frequency transmitter (RFT) and a method of amplifying a radio frequency input signal (SIN) in the radio frequency transmitter (RFT). The radio frequency transmitter (RFT) comprises a digital signal generator (DSG) with a generation unit (GU) adapted to generate a pulsed bit stream signal and a switch mode power amplifier (SMPA) with a transistor circuit (PT) adapted to amplify the radio frequency input signal (SIN). The digital signal generator (DSG) further comprises a control unit (CU) adapted to detect in said pulsed bit stream signal a sequence of a constant signal height longer than a predefined threshold. The control unit (CU) is also adapted to initiate, upon detection of said sequence, a generation of a modified pulsed bit stream signal by an insertion of one or more notches in said sequence. Said notches interrupt said sequence by a signal of a signal height different from the signal height of the sequence. The radio frequency transmitter (RFT) further comprises connecting means (CM) adapted to provide said transistor circuit (PT) with said modified pulsed bit stream signal as the radio frequency input signal (SIN).

    摘要: A wide-bandwidth aperture antenna is constructed of two parallel metal plates 51, 52, each having a resonant aperture 53, 54. The apertured plates are arranged parallel to one another, with the apertures aligned. A third plate 57 is arranged parallel to the apertured plates to act as a reflector. The resonant apertures are in the form of squares with rounded corners. Feed stubs 55 and 56 are arranged between the apertured plates and project into the region between the apertures to excite orthogonally polarized modes. The feed stubs are in the form of strips which are aligned in planes perpendicular to the planes of the apertured plates. An exemplary embodiment has a bandwidth of 1700 MHz to 3300 MHz, containing the bands used for GSM 1800, UMTS, UMTS+, Bluetooth and WLAN systems. The feed is high-impedance and the decoupling better than −11 dB over the whole bandwidth.
