چکیده

We report achieving a noise figure of 5.7 dB at 12 GHz in an amplifierless photonic receive link. This result enables a new transmit/receive interface called TIRx (TransmitIsolating Receiver) that isolates the transmit and receive signal paths by ≥ 40 dB over > 3 decades of bandwidth, allowing an antenna to receive small signals while simultaneously transmitting high-power signals through the same antenna.

A Broadband Low Power CMOS LNA for 3.1–10.6 GHz UWB Receivers

A new approach for designing an ultra wideband (UWB) CMOS low noise amplifier (LNA) is presented. The aim of this design is to achieve a low noise figure, reasonable power gain and low power consumption in 3.1-10.6 GHz. Also, the figure of merit (FOM) is significantly improved at 180nm technology compared to the other state-of-the-art designs. Improved π-network and T-network are used to obt...

Broadband optical cosite interference cancellation

Here, we provide an overview of broadband cosite interference reduction using an optical system to perform incoherent counter-phase modulation and subtraction. The equation governing interference cancellation depth is derived and discussed with respect to two key parameters, attenuation and delay accuracy. Cancellation depth is then examined with respect to signal bandwidth and device parameter...

Photonic Filter True-Time Delay

Photonic microwave true-time delay eliminates the beam squint problem in broadband phased-array antenna. However the large insertion losses associated with the optical switching network that selects the appropriate delay line is a serious limitation. We have previously demonstrated a unique photonic filter that uses the optical carrier wavelength in the 1550 nm wavelength band to select the des...

Broadband Stacked Microstrip Patch Antenna for L-Band Operation: FDTD Modeling

This paper presents a novel implementation of an electromagnetically coupled patch antenna using air gap filled substrates to achieve the maximum bandwidth. We also propose an efficient modeling technique using the FDTD method which can substantially reduce the simulation cost for modeling the structure. The simulated results have been compared with measurement to show the broadband behavio...
