Satellite transmissions classically use constant amplitude linear modulation schemes, such as M-state phase shift keying (M-PSK), because of their high robustness to amplifier non-linearities. However, other modulation formats are interesting in a satellite transmission context. For instance, non-linear modulations such as Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK) present a higher spectral efficienc...

A three-dimensional micromechanics-based analytical model is developed to study thermo-mechanical properties of polymer composites reinforced with randomly distributed silica nanoparticles. Two important factors in nanocomposites modeling using micromechanical models are nanoparticle arrangement in matrix and interphase effects. In order to study these cases, representative volume element (RVE)...

A CMOS self-biased fully differential amplifier is presented. Due to the self-biasing structure of the amplifier and its associated negative feedback, the amplifier is compensated to achieve low sensitivity to process, supply voltage and temperature (PVT) variations. The output common-mode voltage of the amplifier is adjusted through the same biasing voltages provided by the common-mode feedbac...

the graphical technique for nonlinear circuits was described that enable us to optimize circuits to obtain maximum output power, maximum efficiency or minimum intermodulation. according to this method a high power amplifier in the ka band was designed. using a nonlinear model of the transistor, optimum slope for load-line was determined so that maximum power at the output was obtainable, then ...

An injection-locked fiber laser is introduced to the passive fiber laser coherent beam combination with all-optical feedback loop. A coherent beam combining system with two-dimensional four Yb-doped fiber amplifier chains is established, and the injection-locked fiber laser works as a switchable seed source. The 1064 nm output laser of the injection-locked fiber laser is extinguished automatica...

in this paper, we investigate the parameters affecting total harmonic distortion (thd) and power supply rejection ratio (psrr) in pwm class d amplifiers (cdas) on the basis of linear models with feedback. from our mathematical analysis, we show that the thd of a pwm class d amplifier with feedback can be improved by increasing the gain of the integrator through adding another amplifier at the o...

Continuous variable entanglement between two modes of a radiation field is usually studied at optical frequencies. Here we demonstrate experiments that show the entanglement between microwave photons of different energy in a broadband squeezed beam. We use a Josephson parametric amplifier to generate the two-mode correlated state and detect all four quadrature components simultaneously in a two...
