Beschreibung

This book describes a full range of contemporary techniques for the design of transmitters and receivers for communications systems operating in the range from 1 through to 300 GHz. In this frequency range there is a wide range of technologies that need to be employed, with silicon ICs at the core but, compared with other electronics systems, a much greater use of more specialist devices and components for high performance – for example, high Q-factor/low loss and good power efficiency. Many text books do, of course, cover these topics but what makes this book timely is the rapid adoption of millimetre-waves (frequencies from 30 to 300 GHz) for a wide range of consumer applications such as wireless high definition TV, '5G' Gigabit mobile internet systems and automotive radars. It has taken many years to develop low-cost technologies for suitable transmitters and receivers, so previously these frequencies have been employed only in expensive military and space applications. The book will cover these modern technologies, with the follow topics covered; transmitters and receivers, lumped element filters, tranmission lines and S-parameters, RF MEMS, RFICs and MMICs, and many others.

In addition, the book includes extensive line diagrams to illustrate circuit diagrams and block diagrams of systems, including diagrams and photographs showing how circuits are implemented practically. Furthermore, case studies are also included to explain the salient features of a range of important wireless communications systems. The book is accompanied with suitable design examples and exercises based on the Advanced Design System – the industry leading CAD tool for wireless design.

More importantly, the authors have been working with Keysight Technologies on a learning & teaching initiative which is designed to promote access to industry-standard EDA tools such as ADS. Through its University Educational Support Program, Keysight offers students the opportunity to request a student license, backed up with extensive classroom materials and support resources. This culminates with students having the chance to demonstrate their RF/MW design and measurement expertise through the Keysight RF & Microwave Industry-Ready Student Certification Program.

Acknowledgements

First and foremost we would like to thank all those students (undergraduate, masters and PhD) and colleagues from industry and academia that have shared their experience with us over many years. Students, in particular, often asked fundamental questions that challenged our understanding of perceived wisdom in RF engineering – it is widely recognised these days that it is only when you teach a subject that you fully understand it, and we think that this has benefitted this book enormously. We would, in turn, like to thank all our own teachers, from school through to PhD study, who taught, guided and supported us, inspiring us to develop careers in engineering, with special thanks to Charles Turner, E.M. Deeley, P.R. Adby, Hamid Aghvami and Joachim Oberhammer.

We are very grateful to the people at Keysight Technologies, Plextek RFI, Phase 2 Devices, Rako Controls and Instrumentel for providing photographs to help put the text and diagrams into proper context. Some of the content has been informed by our own cutting-edge research and we are grateful to all those funding agencies that have supported us, especially the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC, UK), the European Commission, Vinnova (Sweden) and the Thailand Research Fund.

We are grateful for the assistance with diagrams and teaching materials provided by Umer Shah, Nemr Al Thalathiney, Hassan Al Nasser, Ali Alameer, Matthew Gillick, Ayodeji Sunday, Burawich Pamornnak, Sahapong Somwong, Kritsada Poungsuwan, Huda Kosumpan and Silachai Moongdee.

Mitchai Chongcheawchamnan would like to thank his colleagues at the Electrical Engineering (EE) Department, Faculty of Engineering, Prince of Songkla University (PSU) for providing this opportunity and supporting this book. Special thanks are due to Dr Kiattisak Wongsopanakul, Head of the EE department and colleagues from the Faculty of Engineering, who permitted sabbatical leave to allow time to write this book.

Finally, we would all like to thank our families for their love and support and for allowing us to spend so much time on this book instead of being with them.

Preface

This book is aimed primarily at final year undergraduates and Masters students. It will also be invaluable as background reading for PhD students and as a primer for practising engineers in industry. Its primary purpose is to explain concepts in clear terms, with an emphasis on modern industry practice, with references for further reading given to provide more detailed information and background theory.

The book describes a full range of contemporary techniques for the design of transmitters and receivers for communications systems operating in the range from 1 through to 300 GHz. Within this frequency range there are many technologies that need to be employed, with silicon integrated circuits at the core but, compared to other electronic systems, with a much greater need for specialist devices and components for high performance – for example, low-loss passive components and low-noise and high-power compound semiconductor devices. Millimetre-waves (frequencies from 30 to 300 GHz) have rapidly been adopted for a wide range of consumer applications such as wireless high-definition video for virtual and augmented reality, 5G mobile systems, and automotive radars.  It has taken many years to develop low-cost technologies for suitable transmitters and receivers, so previously these frequencies have been employed only in expensive military and space applications. This really does represent a new era in the use of the millimetre-wave part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The next 20 years will see explosive growth in the use of the frequency range from 30 to 300 GHz, and this requires engineers to be able to understand and apply the techniques of traditional microwave engineering, as well as the newer technologies such as silicon germanium and gallium nitride devices and integrated circuits. These are then assembled into sophisticated multichip modules and system-in-package products with integrated antenna arrays.

The book starts with an emphasis on the applications of microwave and millimetre-wave systems, in Chapter 1, followed by a description of the wide range of modern transmitter-receiver architectures in Chapter 2. The use of quadrature modulation schemes and modern direct-conversion transceivers, that are at the heart of nearly all wireless communication systems, are covered. Chapter 3 introduces S-parameters so that they can be used in Chapter 4 on Lumped Element Filters. This introduces Bode plots, transfer functions, poles and zeros and the s-domain, followed by design techniques for low-pass, high-pass, band-pass and bandstop filters. However, a key conclusion of this chapter is that lumped elements often suffer from serious limitations in high-frequency design, which is why transmission lines are needed for many circuits.

Chapter 5 introduces the main principles of transmission lines, including the telegrapher's equation, signal flowgraphs, standing waves, impedance transformation along a line and the Smith chart. This is followed by Chapter 6 on transmission line components, which is focused on the practical aspects of the main transmission line types – coaxial lines, rectangular waveguide, microstrip and various others, including coplanar waveguide (CPW) and substrate integrated waveguide (SIW). The emphasis is on those transmission line media that are used for circuit design, looking at their propagation characteristics, technologies and materials, discontinuities and modelling. A number of key standard components are introduced, such as the Wilkinson power divider, Lange coupler, branch-line coupler and rat-race hybrid.
