A band notch UWB bandpass filter using dual-stub-loaded multimode resonator with embedded spiral resonator
This paper presents a band-notched ultra-wideband bandpass filter by loading a short stub and an asymmetric step impedance stub in a uniform impedance resonator. The passband extends from 3.04 to 10.8 GHz frequency. The multimode resonator provides a sharp band edge with measured transmission zeros at 2.59 and 13 GHz. The later one is due to source load coupling. The passband insertion loss is wit
A 60 GHz fully differential LNA in 90 nm CMOS technology
The present paper presents a fully differential 60 GHz four stages low-noise amplifier for wireless applications. The amplifier has been optimized for low-noise, high-gain, and low-power consumption, and implemented in a 90 nm low-power CMOS technology. Matching and common-mode rejection networks have been realized using shielded coplanar transmission lines. The amplifier achieves a peak small-sig
Realization of a 30-W highly efficient and linear reconfigurable dual-band power amplifier using the continuous mode approach
This paper presents the design methodology and the realization of a highly linear and power-efficient reconfigurable dual-band amplifier based on the continuous/Class-ABJ approach. The Class-ABJ theory allows presenting different reactive solutions on both fundamental and second harmonic terminations compared with the standard Class-AB mode. Despite the various terminations, a constant optimum out
BER-driven synthesis for directional modulation secured wireless communication
Directional modulation (DM) is a recently introduced technique for secure wireless transmission using direct physical layer wave-front manipulation. This paper provides a bit error rate (BER)-based DM array synthesis method. It is shown for the first time that the standard constellation mappings in In-phase and Quadrature (IQ) space to a pre-specified BER can be exactly achieved along a given spec
Coplanar waveguide-fed ISM band implantable crossed-type triangular slot antenna for biomedical applications
A novel coplanar waveguide fed Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band implantable crossed-type triangular slot antenna is proposed for biomedical applications. The antenna operates at the center frequency of 2450 MHz, which is in ISM band, to support GHz wideband communication for high-data rate implantable biomedical application. The size of the antenna is 78 mm (10 mm × 12 mm × 0.65 mm).
Optimized hyper beamforming of receiving linear antenna arrays using Firefly algorithm
In this paper, an optimized hyper beamforming method is presented based on a hyper beam exponent parameter for receiving linear antenna arrays using a new meta-heuristic search method based on the Firefly algorithm (FFA). A hyper beam is derived from the sum and difference beam patterns of the array, each raised to the power of a hyper beam exponent parameter. As compared to the conventional hyper

A V-band switched-beam transmit-array antenna
A high-directivity switched-beam antenna in the V-band is presented and includes a circularly-polarized transmit-array realized in a low-cost printed technology associated with a focal source array integrated on high-resistivity silicon. The measurements show a maximum gain of 12.1 dBi, a 3-dB gain-bandwidth of 57.8?70 GHz, and an axial ratio below 5 dB. The antenna exhibits five beams pointing fr
