In third generation (3G) mobile communication systems, linear amplification is required for linear modulations. Nonlinear amplification yields inter-modulation distortion (IMD) products and results in unacceptable spectral regrowth in adjacent channels. To achieve linear amplification, linearization techniques are usually employed. Various techniques have been developed to reduce IMD products in...

Monopole antennas are used in mobile communications. A monopole antenna is a very simple and efficient radiating element. 1 The simple whip and monopole antenna are attractive for use in mobile handsets and repeater applications because of their omni-directional characteristics, simple structure and the inherent 2:1 size reduction over...

Published March 1, 2006 In an effort to better combine the editorial content of our magazine with our newly developed and retooled on-line presence, we have decided to expand Harlan's RF and microwave engineering advice into a monthly feature that appears in Microwave Journal. Harlan has selected one question...

Demand for higher bandwidth and frequencies in wireless and wireline applications continues to climb. This is increasing the pressure on the RF industry to deliver higher performance, higher functionality, smaller size, lower power consumption, lower cost, and faster new designs of RF and microwave components. Oscillators are the key...
