Enhancing the BER and ACLR for the HPA Using Pre-Distortion TechniqueIJECEIAES
Power amplifiers are key components in wireless transceivers. Their function is to amplify signal and generate the required Radio Frequency (RF) power that allows to transmit the signal over an appropriate range. The Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems are highly sensitive to nonlinear distortion introduced by High Power Amplifier (HPA). The HPA nonlinearity causes in-band and out-of-band distortions. The linearization techniques are used to compensate the nonlinear effects of the high power amplifier. These techniques correct the distortion effects resulting from nonlinearities in the transmitted signal. Many linearization techniques have been developed to improve power amplifier linearity and to decrease both Bit Error Rate (BER) and Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio (ACLR). This work is set to run the high power amplifier in the nonlinear region. It is also attempting to analyze the resulting signal in terms of the BER and ACLR, next employs pre-distortion linearization techniques to reduce the distortion introduced in this region. According to Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T) standard the linearization techniques, circuit and the OFDM transmitter and receiver is designed and implemented through using computer simulation of AWR Design Environment.

Negative resistance amplifier circuit using GaAsFET modelled single MESFETTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Negative resistance devices have attracted much attention in the wireless communication industry because of their low cost, better performance, high speed, and reduced power requirements. Although negative resistance circuits are non-linear circuits, they are associated with distortion, which may either be amplitude-to-amplitude distortion or amplitude-to-phase distortion. In this paper, a unique way of realizing a negative resistance amplifier is proposed using a single metal-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MESFET). Intermodulation distortion test (IMD) is performed to evaluate the characteristic response of the negative resistance circuit amplifier to different bias voltages using the harmonic balance (HB) of the advanced designed software (ADS 2016). The results obtained are compared to those of a conventional distributed amplifier. The findings of this study showed that the negative resistance amplifier spreads over a wider frequency output with reduced power requirements while the conventional distributed amplifier has a direct current (DC) offset with output voltage of 32.34 dBm.

The objective of this paper is to develop a new design of a voltage controlled microwave oscillator by using the method of negative resistance in order to fabricate VCO with very good performance in terms of tuning rang, phase noise, output power and stability. The use of hybrid microwave integrated circuit technology’s (HMIC) offers a lot of advantage for our structure concerning size, cost, productivity, and Q factor. This VCO is designed at [480MHz; 1.4GHz] frequency for applications in the phase locked loop (PLL) for signal tracking, FM demodulation, frequency modulation, mobile communication, etc. The different steps of studied voltage controlled oscillator’s design are thoroughly described. Initially designed at a fixed frequency meanwhile the use of a varactor allow us to tune the frequency of the second design. It has been optimized especially regarding tuning bandwidth, power, phase noise, consumption and size of the whole circuit. The achieved results and proposed amendment are the product of theoretical study and predictive simulations with advanced design system microwave design software. A micro-strip VCO with low phase noise based on high gain ultra low noise RF transistor BFP 740 has been designed, fabricated, and characterized. The VCO delivers a sinusoidal signal at the frequency 480 MHz with tuning bandwidth 920 MHz, spectrum power of 12.62 dBm into 50 Ω load and phase noise of -108 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz offset. Measurement results and simulation are in good agreement. Circuit is designed on FR4 substrate which includes integrated resonators and passive components.
This paper relates the new topology and simulations of a fully differential CMOS active filter for mm wave band applications. The advantages of the differential topology over the single ended one are discussed and the quality factor is tuned to insure application requirements, including narrow bandwidth and high selectivity due to a differential negative resistance that reuses the filter’s current. Using this topology enables independent tuning of the quality factor and low power consumption while compensating the resistive loss of the filter. Very high filter performance was obtained with the simulated active inductor based active filter that was designed using CMOS 0.35 µm technology from AMS foundry and that resonates at 30 GHz with a high quality factor of Q > 500.
Interleaved digital power factor correction based on the sliding mode approachLeMeniz Infotech
Interleaved Digital Power Factor Correction Based on the Sliding-Mode Approach
This study describes a digitally controlled power factor correction (PFC) system based on two interleaved boost converters operating with pulsewidth modulation (PWM). Both converters are independently controlled by an inner control loop based on a discrete-time sliding-mode (SM) approach that imposes loss-free resistor (LFR) behavior on each cell. The switching surface implements an average current-mode controller so that the power factor (PF) is high. The SM-based digital controller is designed to operate at a constant switching frequency so that the interleaving technique, which is recommended for ac-dc power conversion systems higher than 1 kW, can be readily applied. An outer loop regulates the output voltage by means of a discrete-time proportional-integral (PI) compensator directly obtained from a discrete-time small-signal model of the ideal sliding dynamics. The control law proposed has been validated using numerical simulations and experimental results in a 2-kW prototype.

This paper presents design and simulation of wideband power amplifier based on multi-section Wilkinson power divider. Class-A topology and ATF-511P8 transistor have been used. Advanced Design System (ADS) software used to simulate the designed power amplifier. The simulation results show an input return loss (S11)<-10dB, gain (S21)>10 dB over the entire bandwidth, and an output power around 28dBm at the Centre frequency of 3GHz. The designed amplifier is stable over the entire bandwidth (K>1). Inter-modulation distortion is -65.187dBc which is less than -50dBc. The designed amplifier can be used for the microwave applications which include weather radar, satellite communication, wireless networking, mobile, and TV.
A low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator with high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) and low
temperature coefficient (TC) is presented in this paper. Large 1μF off-chip load capacitor is used to
achieve the high PSRR. However, this decreases the gain and pushes the LDO’s output pole to lower
frequency causing the circuit to become unstable. The proposed LDO uses rail-to-rail folded cascode
amplifier to compensate the gain and stability problems. 2nd order curvature characteristic is used in
bandgap voltage reference circuit that is applied at the input of the amplifier to minimize the TC.
The characteristic is achieved by implementing MOSFET transistors operate in weak and strong
inversions. The LDO is designed using 0.18 μm CMOS technology and achieves a constant 1.8 V output
voltage for input voltages from 3.2 V to 5 V and load current up to a 128mA at temperature between -40 °C
to 125 °C. The proposed LDO is targeted for RF application which has stringent requirement on noise
rejection over a broad range of frequency.

Abstract In this paper, we have designed low noise amplifier using 2 stage Cascade topology. We have focused on intermediate matching network design of amplifier for low noise figure and selection of transistor PHEMT is based on noise figure as well as quiescent point required for 0 grid voltage so that amplifier will need only single DC supply i.e. Vdd. Depends upon different topologies used for LNA design with wide band requirement, we chose cascaded topology for good gain with low noise amplifier and optimized for greater bandwidth. Practical inductors are bulky as well as counter intuitive elements for high frequency as they behave as capacitors and to reduce S11. Several windings in inductors make them resistive which increases noise by 0.2-0.4 dB. So we proposed inductor-less input matching network for both stages so that we can increase bandwidth as well as perfect match for low noise figure. This LNA is designed using Advanced Design System (ADS) software to provide 0.5 dB noise figure with power gain of 25 dB and 1-2.5 GHz Bandwidth. So it can be used an L-Band satellite modem that is used in an asset tracking application. Layout is designed using muruta manufacturing lumped components and Aluminum Nitride (AlN) substrate having high dielectric constant and high thermal conductivity. Key Words: LNA, PHEMT, ADS, AlN

Abstract:
This paper reports on the design of an ultra wideband power amplifier using 0.25um GaN- HEMT Technology device obtained from the Triquint Semiconductor. There is huge interest in transistors based on Gallium Nitride in recent years due to its high breakdown voltage and its capability to operate in High frequency applications. The load pull analysis is carried out to obtain both the required source and load impedances. The
power amplifier with over 10W output power and 42% power added efficiency in the frequency range of 3-5GHz is presented in this paper. The PA is designed using a computer aided design tool called Advanced System Design (ADS).ADS provide two different simulation opportunities. These are referred as schematic simulation and
electromagnetic simulation called Momentum. Schematic Simulations are performed on the proposed PA in this paper.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

I. INTRODUCTION
In a communication satellite serving the earth, the
transponder transforms the received signals into forms
appropriate for the transmission from space to earth. The
transponder may be simply a repeater that amplifies and
frequency signals. In this paper, the technologies of the
major transponder elements are presented and amplifying
devices.
One of the key elements of any spacecraft
transponder is the output transmitter, consisting of a high
power amplifier (HPA) and the associated power supply.
The amplifier is operated at or near saturation (maximum
output power level) to attain a high overall efficiency of
converting dc energy from the power supply into useful
radio frequency (RF) energy that carries information.
The transmitter is required to amplify the
wanted signal without distortions and without other
impairments which would decrease the usefulness of the
signal. Two types of amplifiers (transmitters) are in
common use, electron beam devices (commonly
TWTAs) and solid state power amplifiers (SSPAs). For
the TWTAs, the electrical power supply is often required
to supply a number of high voltages (in the multikilovolt
range), which presents a series of technology and design
challenges. show in fig 1.

II. DESIGN APPROACH
The wireless communications in satellite transponder
increasing demands on systems designs. A critical
element in Radio Frequency (RF) front ends is the Power
Amplifier (PA). Main specifications for PA design
include high linearity, better gain and efficiency. This
paper describes the process of designing a single stage
classA Power Amplifier for operation in the 2.5-4.5 GHz
band.
The active device specified for this design was
a Rfmd SZA3044Z BJT. Table I shows the performance
specifications for the designed Power amplifier.

2. III. STABILITY CONSIDERATION
Before PA design, it is important to determine the
stability of the transistor. The stability of an amplifier
is very important in the design and if not taken care,
can create self-oscillation of the device due to
reflected wave.
Amplifier is not reliable when it is unstable
condition. The stability of a circuit is characterized by
stability factor. The transistor is stable when K>1 and
∆<1.
Fig 2- Stability simulation
After simulation ,the value of stability factor (K) is
6.673(K>1). So, now the transistor is in stable region.
STABILITY FACTOR, K (SHOULD BE >1)

IV. MATCHING NETWORK DESIGN
Impedance matching is required to maximize the
power transfer and minimize the reflections. Smith
chart is used for impedance matching. According to
maximum power transfer theorem, maximum power
delivered to the load when the impedance of load is
equal to the complex conjugate of the impedance of
source (ZS=ZL*).
A.INPUT MATCHING NETWORK
The first set of measurements we are taken
for S11 with the device mounted on the board and
biased, but without matching networks. These
measurements were de-embedded in ADS to obtain
the input impedance at the device terminal.
Fig 4- Input matching network
The circuit was then conjugate matched
from this point to the 50Ω impedance presented by
the trace line. The input matching network shown in
Figure 3, was designed using the Smgamma function
in ADS.
The input matching network uses a series
inductor and parallel capacitor. A parallel capacitor is
the value of 0.5pF and series inductor is the value of
1.4nH. A lumped component matching at 3.4GHz is a
viable option but it would not provide the option of
tuning.
Fig 5- Input impedance result
B. OUTPUT MATCHING NETWORK
To design the output matching network, S22 of the
biased, unmatched system was measured and de-
embedded back to the device terminals. Simulations
were then performed to determine the impedance
presented to the drain that would maximize small
signal gain. The matching network was designed in
the same fashion as the input matching network.
This method gave several different optimal
load impedances, indicating that trade-offs would be
necessary to meet all specifications. The output
matching network shown in Figure 5, was designed
using the Smgamma function in ADS.
3. Fig 6- Output matching network
The output matching network uses a series
inductor and parallel capacitor. A parallel capacitor is
the value of 2.85 pF and series inductor is the value
of 0.5nH. A lumped component matching at 3.4GHz
is a viable option but it would not provide the option
of tuning.

power amplifier is shown in the Figure.

Matching the Most Important is Biasing
Network . All Results Are including in
below Table.
VII. HARMONIC DISTORTION
Harmonic distortion means the
presence of frequency components in the
output waveform which are not present in
the input signal. Due to non linearity
amplification of all the portion of positive
and negative half cycles is not same and it
causes the output waveform to be different
from input waveform. When the input signal
is applied to a transistor the non-linear
characteristics causes the positive half of the
signal to be amplified more than negative
half cycle.
Due to this output signal signal
contains fundamental frequency components
and some undesired frequency components,
which are integral multiple of input signal
frequency. These additional frequency
components are called harmonics. Hence the
output is said to be distorted, this is called
harmonic distortion.
VIII. SECOND ORDER HARMONICS:
For linear amplification, the dynamic
transfer characteristics relation b/w Ib and Ic which is
known as transfer characteristic must be linear. To
evaluate the second harmonic distortion assume that
the dynamic transfer characteristics of the transistor is
parabolic (non-linear ) in nature rather than (linear).

7. X. CONCLUSION
The power amplifier presented here doesn’t
meet many of the required specifications. Still a
Stable Power amplifier with certain loss of power has
been designed with proper matching networks. But
working on this design provided a lot on insight into
design of power amplifiers and the problems faced
when the specifications require designs to be
extremely competitive in terms of performance.
The choice of transistor in this power
amplifier has influenced the design specifications in
an unexpected manner. To make a power amplifier
utilizing this device, a wide variety of matching
networks should be explored along with an
appropriate device modelling in ADS. Also Complete
