摘要: A high power Doherty RF amplifier utilizes multi-stage amplifier modules for both the main amplifier and the peak amplifiers. In one embodiment of a two way two stage amplifier, the first stage of each amplifier module can include signal pre-distortion whereby the first stage compensates for distortion in both the first and second stages. The design is simple and results in a high efficiency amplifier with high gain. In one embodiment, a commercially available CREE PFM19030SM power module is used in both the main amplifier and the peak amplifier.

摘要: A mixer circuit is provided which incorporates inductive elements for low voltage applications. The circuit consists of a balanced amplifier and a switch composed of transistor pairs driven by a local oscillator signal for multiplying the signal to produce a circuit output signal having a predetermined intermediate frequency. Inductors are used to provide degenerative feedback in the balanced amplifier portion of the circuit. The inductors generate negligible noise and produce a negligible dc voltage drop. The transistors in the circuit are thereby maintained in saturation regions of operation as desired. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, an inductor or, alternatively, a parallel inductor-capacitor circuit, is used as a constant current source in conjunction with the input transistors in the balanced amplifier portion of the circuit.

摘要: A frequency converter employs a balanced bridge mixer of switching elements such as field-effect transistors (FETs) with a local oscillator supplying control signals to gate terminals of the transistors. A carrier at intermediate frequency (IF) or at radio frequency (RF) is modulated for communication of data, and is applied to alternate nodes of the bridge. The remaining bridge nodes supply output signals to respective branches of an output circuit. Each branch of the output circuit is provided with a bandpass filter having a spectral characteristic corresponding to the spectral characteristic of a specific one of plural output signals to be outputted via the branch. Each branch may contain an active element, such as an amplifier, which is activated for outputting a signal, and which is deactivated for when node signal is to be outputted. A switchable impedance circuit is included within each of the branches to present a substantially constant impedance characteristic to the bridge, independently of whether the bridge amplifier is activated or deactivated. The local oscillator may provide plural frequencies, as by use of a variable-frequency oscillator or by use of plural oscillators, to place an output signal within the frequency band of a specific one of the output branches.

摘要: The present invention incorporates a specially-designed low-pass filter into the feedthrough of a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) to provide compensation for discrepancies from the impedance required for an MMIC package to be matched to a transmission line. The compensation allows all parameters to be adjusted and the complete filter to be printed.The main features of the invention include minimum width for the under-wall conductor and brazing metallization, two open-circuited stubs at the package-die interface for wire bonding ease, and metal-filled vias connecting the ground plane base and the lid sealing ring to bring the lid sealing ring to RF ground.The present ivention also includes a method for designing the desired feedthrough that obviates the need for scale-model feedthrough design before printing, a prior art method that requires precision in the scale model. An electrical model of a feedthrough is first derived. The electrical model is then adjsuted according to the parameters desired for a new, compensated feedthrough using any known method, including software such as Touchstone. Finally, the new feedthrough is fabricated based upon the adjusted electrical model.
