A High-Efficiency Low-Cost Multi-Antenna Energy Harvesting System With Leakage Suppression

A High-Efficiency Low-Cost Multi-Antenna Energy Harvesting System With Leakage Suppression 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a multi-antenna RF energy harvester (MARFEH) with leakage suppression to achieve high output power and avoid the effects of interference and blind spots in the room, and all the RF rectifiers share only one buffering capacitor to achieve low cost. The proposed leakage-suppressed rectifier utilizing adaptive $V_{…

248-GHz Subharmonic Mixer Last Transmitter With I/Q Imbalance and LO Feedthrough Calibration

248-GHz Subharmonic Mixer Last Transmitter With I/Q Imbalance and LO Feedthrough Calibration 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a 248 GHz compact direct-conversion transmitter with IQ and LO feedthrough (LOFT) calibration capability, which can achieve a data rate of 20-Gb/s with 16-QAM. The transmitter design incorporates a subharmonic double-balanced mixer configuration, simplifying the complexity of the local oscillator (LO) chain. Furthermore, a Wilkinson power divider …

A Ka-Band Mutual Coupling Resilient Stacked-FET Power Amplifier With 21.2 dBm OP1dB and 27.6% PAE1dB in 45-nm CMOS SOI

A Ka-Band Mutual Coupling Resilient Stacked-FET Power Amplifier With 21.2 dBm OP1dB and 27.6% PAE1dB in 45-nm CMOS SOI 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a Ka-band mutual coupling resilient stacked-FET power amplifier (PA) in 45-nm CMOS silicon on insulator. Two sub-PAs with triple-stacked-FET to increase output-power (Pout) are combined through a quadrature hybrid coupler to keep robust and high performance in the scenario of mutual coupling among the phased-array antennas. A …
