چکیده

In typical radio transmitters, the signal is modulated at lower frequencies and then up-converted, amplified, and radiated by an antenna. In the absence of multi-path, receivers at different angles observe the same modulated signal, only different in gain factor and time delay. Although a directional antenna radiates more power in some angles than others, the signal transmitted to any direction still carries the same information that, in principle, can be recovered with a sensitive receiver.

ISSCC 2008 / SESSION 9 / mm - Wave & PHASED ARRAYS / 9 . 6 9 . 6 A 60 GHz CMOS Receiver Using a 30 GHz

Recent work on receivers for the 60GHz band has considered various frequency plans to ease the design of the building blocks, particularly the local oscillator (LO) and the frequency dividers [1-3]. A natural choice of the LO frequency in a heterodyne system is half of the input frequency as it places the image in the vicinity of zero while greatly simplifying the design and distribution of the...

ISSCC 2008 / SESSION 9 / mm - Wave & PHASED ARRAYS / 9 . 2 9 . 2 A Robust 24 mW 60 GHz Receiver in 90 nm Standard CMOS

Emerging applications for the 60GHz spectrum include extremely high-data-rate short-range communication systems. Many of these applications are expected to enter the realm of consumer electronics where low cost and mass production are prerequisites, favoring the application of digital CMOS technology. In this paper, a highly integrated receiver front-end is demonstrated that is manufactured in ...

Measurement of Antenna Performance for Active Array Antennas with Spherical Near-field Scanning

Here we address some of the issues faced by antenna engineers when testing active antennas. We review some features of phased arrays and report on how MI Technologies has dealt with the issue of measuring the effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) and antenna patterns by use of the spherical near-field scanning technique. We take as an example the test methodology of the SAMPSON radar antenna.

Nanophotonic Visible Light Phased Arrays

Previously demonstrated integrated optical phased arrays have primarily been implemented in silicon-based platforms and have therefore been limited to operation at infrared wavelengths, where silicon provides low-loss transmission. Developing integrated optical phased arrays for visible wavelengths would enable the exploration of new applications for this technology, such as autostereoscopic di...

Phase-Only Synthesis of Antenna Arrays Using Nonuniform Phased Sampling Method

Nonuniform Phased Sampling method is proposed to phase-only synthesize the power pattern of both linear and planar antenna arrays. This method modifies the conventional sampling method which is used for amplitude-phase synthesis. This method is based on assigning suitable phases to the sampling points of radiation pattern in order to reach desired amplitude of currents. Some examples are given ...
