In this thesis, the applicability of Class-D amplifiers to integrated wide-band communication line driver applications is studied. While Class-D techniques can address some of the efficiency limitations of linear amplifier structures and have shown promising results in low frequency applications, the low frequency techniques and knowledge need further development in order to improve their pract...

this paper presents a wide band RF MEMS VCO operating at 10 GHz. The designed VCO is based on high performances RF MEMS solenoid inductor. We have used HFSS software for design and analysis of different RF MEMS solenoid inductors. Best performances are obtained using SU8 dielectric substrate and copper coil: Qmax= 60.9, L = 2.6 nH at 10 GHz, and SRF= 20.8 GHz. Moreover, we have investigated the...

This paper proposed a design scheme of wide band monopulse antenna system for the passive radar seeker (PRS) of anti-radiation missile (ARM). To save the installation space of the PRS, the conical conformal log periodic antennas (LPDA) are employed to form the monopulse antenna system. The specific implementation scheme of PRS based on the conically conformal monopulse antennas was designed and...

This paper proposes an analysis technique for wide-band audio applications based on the predictability of the temporal evolution of Quadrature Mirror Filter (QMF) sub-band signals. The input audio signal is first decomposed into 64 sub-band signals using QMF decomposition. The temporal envelopes in critically sampled QMF sub-bands are approximated using frequency domain linear prediction applie...

The phenomenon of vibrational resonance (VR) in the classical Morse oscillator influenced by narrow band and wide band, frequency modulated signals is numerically studied. Vibrational resonance was found to occur when the amplitudes f and g and frequencies ω and Ω of the signals were varied. The dynamics of the system is studied in the presence of both signals separately. Vibrational resonance ...

Ultra wide band systems are considered as one of the most exciting technologies due to its capability of transmitting data over a wide frequency spectrum with very low power and high data rates. In any UWB receiver the low noise amplifier is the first stage. The LNA plays a crucial role in the whole reception chain. In this paper, we examine the performance of two different modulations techniqu...

A coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with flexible and wide tunable dual bandnotched characteristics is proposed in this paper. The dual band-notched function is achieved by using an U-shaped slot inserted into the ellipse radiation patch and by using an elliptic parasitic slit placed near the ground plane. The wide tunable band-notched characteristic is implemented by ad...
