Power MOSFET Linearizer of a High-Voltage Power Amplifier for High-Frequency Pulse-Echo Instrumentation
A power MOSFET linearizer is proposed for a high-voltage power amplifier (HVPA) used in high-frequency pulse-echo instrumentation. The power MOSFET linearizer is composed of a DC bias-controlled series power MOSFET shunt with parallel inductors and capacitors. The proposed scheme is designed to improve the gain deviation characteristics of the HVPA at higher input powers. By controlling the MOS...
متن کاملSchlieren metrology for high frequency medical ultrasound.
The increased use of medical ultrasound above 40 MHz poses the challenge of measuring beam features that may be less than 40 microm. We have successfully used the optical Schlieren technique for transducers operating as high as 110 MHz. After a brief discussion of the technique, results are presented, including comparisons to state-of-the-art hydrophones and wire targets.
متن کاملA Practical Class S Power Amplifier for High Frequency Transmitters
Digital signal processing (DSP) techniques are being incorporated in the design of modern power amplifiers (PA) and as the speed of DSP advances it is envisioned that DSP will develop to a point where algorithms will provide signals at RF particularly for switching amplifiers. The digital transmitter has many potential benefits such as the absence of aging or tuning problems, reconfigurability,...
متن کاملDesign of an Efficient Circuit for Data Rate Configuration in Power Amplifier Dedicated to Wireless Medical Applications
This paper presents a new circuit to configure power amplifier (PA) for return-to-zero on-off-keying (RZ-OOK) transmitters. The proposed PA works as a multimode structure with configurable data rate and output power. The programmable data rate function is achieved by duty cycle adjustment of input data and producing input RZ-data by a simple circuit, which leads to a linear scale of data rate w...
متن کاملA Dsp Controlled Adaptive Feedforward Amplifier Linearizer
Currently, the only available wideband (multiple MHz) amplifier linearization method is feedforward. Feedforward, though, requires automatic adaptation of key parameters for reliable distortion cancellation as operating conditions vary. With a novel and appropriate use of DSP, we have implemented a feedforward linearizer with adaptation driven by easily computed gradient signals. This overcomes...
