A novel design of compact six-port circuit is proposed for millimeter-wave integrated system design. All the structure is based on the use of an elliptic coupler with certain geometrical characteristics. The prototype circuit occupies only 66.5 % of the size of the conventional six-port junction at the same frequency. To examine the performance of the proposed circuit, the six-port using multil...

A seven-port wave-correlator based vector network analyzer is proposed. The seven-port wave-correlator is a combination of two six-port wave-correlators which share common components. Furthermore, the complex wave ratio measurement accuracy is improved since the input signals can be directly detected by the side-arm ports. A seven-port wave-correlator is fabricated using microstrip branch line ...

Abstract—A direct 61GHz demodulator, based on a rectangular waveguide (WR-12) six-port, is presented in this letter. The six-port device, composed of four 90◦ hybrid couplers fabricated in a metal block of brass, is implemented in ADS software. Good agreement between QPSK demodulation results using an ideal six-port model and a second one, based on the S-parameter measurements of a 61GHz hybrid...

Abstract-A six-port receiver can restore the original modulated signal by calculating the detected envelopes and system parameters of the six-port circuit. The system parameters have been determined at each frequency in advance. The six-port receiver has an advantage in the point that the user can select the frequency arbitrarily, but there is a problem of nonlinear distortion in the detector b...

| This article presents a new robust method for nding the parameters of Engen's six-port to four-port reduction algorithm for six-port reeectometer calibration. Like other previously published methods, it uses a minimum of ve loads with an unknown but constant absolute value of the reeection coeecient and unknown but well-distributed phases. However, the quality of the parameter estimates is im...

This paper presents a six-port network over an ultrawideband (UWB) of 2–8GHz. Its key component is the six-port junction, which consists of a Wilkinson power divider and three 3-dB quadrature couplers. This six-port junction is accomplished in a low dielectric constant substrate (Rogers RT/duroid 5880). Multi-section impedance transformation is applied in the power divider, and the quadrature c...

In this paper, error-control coding is used with a six-port direct-digital QPSK receiver [1] in an AWGN channel. The direct-conversion wideband six-port millimeter wave receiver proposed herein meets the needs of MMIC mass-market wireless communications. Convolutional code and Turbo code are used as the channel codes for the first time in this type of receiver. The BER results for the convoluti...

-A new direct conversion wide band (23 GHz – 31 GHz) six-port millimetre wave receiver for QPSK communications suitable for integrated circuit fabrication is proposed, to satisfy mass-market wireless communications. The receiver contains one multi-chip module consisting of a wide-band six-port junction, four RF detectors (diodes), video amplifiers and I&Q decoder. The prototype circuits are fab...

Ultra Wideband (UWB) radio system is an emerging wireless radio technology. It can transmit digital data over a wide spectrum of frequency band with very low power. This paper presents an analysis of UWB technology on direct millimeter wave six-port receiver, to be designed as an application-specific integrated receiver using Frequency Diversity Spread Spectrum (FDSS) technique. With wideband s...
