This paper describes the design and measured performance of a 1-8GHz power amplifier MMIC fabricated with a 0.15um Gallium Nitride (GaN) process technology. The process features a 100um thick Silicon Carbide (SiC) substrate and compact transistor layouts with individual source grounding vias (ISV). The design utilizes a non-uniform distributed power amplifier (NDPA) topology with a novel trifil...

A class E power amplifier including coupling coils is proposed for application in a wireless power transfer system using magnetic coupling. The proposed amplifier is directly connected to the coils with no discrete components for harmonic filtering and dc feeding, which could cause efficiency degradation of the amplifier. The system with the differential amplifier shows 6.95 W of transmitted po...

This paper describes an instrumentation amplifier (INA) with three operational amplifier (op amp) topology, for biomedical applications. To achieve low offset new circuit technique is achieved by adding NMOS transistor and two phase clock scheme with a frequency of 20 KHz. With the unity gain bandwidth of 92 KHz , the open loop gain of this instrumentation amplifier is found to be 50 dB and hav...

To combine the benefits and compensate for the drawbacks of different optical amplifier types, a hybrid amplifier can be composed. The authors consider two most frequently used hybrid amplifiers that can provide better performance: a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), and an erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), both in combination with a distributed Raman amplifier (DRA). To compare perform...

We present a C-band 6-mode 7-core fiber amplifier in an all-fiberized cladding-pumped configuration for space division multiplexed transmission supporting record 42 spatial channels. With optimized components (e.g. passively cooled pump laser diode, coupler, stripper), high power multimode light is coupled to the active without any noticeable thermal degradation and average gain of 18 dB noise ...

A compact frequency-doubled diode-pumped Nd:YAG master-oscillator power-amplifier laser system with programmable microsecond pulse length has been developed. Analog shaping of the output from a single-frequency continuous-wave oscillator, and subsequent amplification, allowed generation rectangular pulses lengths on order fluorescence lifetime. Temporally flat-top 1064 nm light 520 mJ energy, 2...

We used a spatially broadband optical parametric amplifier for image amplification. In the phasesensitive configuration of the amplifier, we observed noiseless amplification of input images. For a gain of 2.5, we measured noise-figure values of (0.2 6 0.6) and (0.4 6 0.5) dB, respectively, for two amplifiers of different lengths. These experimental values agree with theory (for an ideal noisele...

In this paper, the data predistorter with memory used to minimize total power consumption due to amplifier nonlinearity in single power mode quadrature amplitude modulation(QAM) systems is investigated. The design of the data predistorter (DP) with memory is independent of the operating optimality criterion but depends upon the operating point of amplifier nonlinearity. The more useful choice o...
