    摘要: According to an embodiment of the disclosure, a series or source feedback is provided to a solid-state power amplifier to achieve improved amplifier output power, good impedance match, and low voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR). In an embodiment, an inductive element is coupled to the source of the power amplifier transistor to serve as a series or source feedback for the transistor. In an embodiment, a high-impedance microstrip is provided as an inductive element coupled to the source of the transistor. In an embodiment, a series or source feedback is provided to each amplifier in a multistage amplifier circuit. In an embodiment, a greater series or source feedback is provided at a later stage of a multistage amplifier circuit, whereas a smaller series or source feedback is provided at an earlier stage of the multistage amplifier circuit.

    摘要: A system for preventing crosstalk between adjacent channels comprises a crossover connector positioned along a length of one channel such that a portion of a positive trace for a first channel is positioned adjacent to a positive trace of a positive trace of an adjacent channel. The position of the crossover connector is based on preventing crosstalk and crossover connectors on adjacent channels may be staggered to further prevent crosstalk. A crossover connector may be based on capacitors or resistors to prevent crosstalk.

    摘要: A rotary joint includes a first part and a second part configured to rotate around a rotation axis against the first part. The first part has a first magnetic core and a capacitive data link component. The second part has a second magnetic core for coupling power with the a first magnetic core and a second capacitive data link component to transfer data from and/or to the first capacitive data link component. To weaken magnetic stray fields from the magnetic core, a resonant shield is provided outside the airgap between the magnetic cores. The resonant shield comprises an open ring-shaped structure, having two open ends which are connected by a capacitor to form a resonant circuit.

    摘要: This document describes techniques, apparatuses, and systems for an antenna-to-printed circuit board (PCB) transition. An apparatus (e.g., a radar system) may include an MMIC or other processor to generate electromagnetic signals. The apparatus can include a PCB that includes multiple layers, a first surface, and a second surface that is opposite and in parallel with the first surface. The PCB can also include a dielectric-filled portion formed between the first surface and second surface. The apparatus can also include a conductive loop located on the first surface and connected to a pair of lines. The apparatus can further include a transition channel mounted on the first surface and positioned over the dielectric-filled portion. The described transition can reduce manufacturing costs and board sizes, reduce energy losses, and support a wide bandwidth.

    摘要: An electronic device, including a substrate and multiple modulation units, is provided. The modulation units are disposed on the substrate. Each modulation unit includes a first electronic element, a second electronic element, a first signal line, a second signal line, and a third signal line. The first signal line provides a first voltage to the first electronic element. The second signal line provides a second voltage to the second electronic element. The third signal line provides a third voltage to the first electronic element and/or the second electronic element. The first voltage is different from the second voltage, and the third voltage is different from the first voltage and/or the second voltage.

    摘要: Various aspects directed towards an integrated transverse electromagnetic (TEM) transmission line structure for probe calibration are disclosed. In one example, the integrated TEM transmission line structure includes a printed circuit board (PCB) and an air-dielectric coplanar waveguide (CPW). For this example, the air-dielectric CPW includes an air trace in a cutout slot of the PCB. In another example, a method is disclosed, which includes forming an air-dielectric CPW on a PCB in which the air-dielectric CPW includes an air trace in a cutout slot of the PCB. In a further example, an integrated TEM transmission line structure includes an air-dielectric CPW with an air trace. For this example, a first connector is electrically coupled to a first end of the air-dielectric CPW, and a second connector is electrically coupled to a second end of the air-dielectric CPW.

    摘要: A directional coupler includes a substrate, a main line, a first sub-line, and a ground conductor. The main line includes a first conductor line and a second conductor line electrically connected to each other. The first sub-line includes a third conductor line. The first conductor line and the second conductor line are able to be electromagnetically coupled to the third conductor line. The first conductor line has a first edge and a second edge. The second conductor line has a third edge and a fourth edge. The third conductor line has a fifth edge and a sixth edge. The first conductor line, the second conductor line, and the third conductor line are arranged in such a manner that the first edge, the fifth edge, the third edge, the second edge, the sixth edge, and the fourth edge are arranged in this order when the substrate is viewed in plan.
