摘要 过去10年,复杂无线技术的演进向移动器件设计工程 师提出了挑战。射频发射器设计师经常遇到相互矛盾 的设计要求。最终用户要求更高的数据吞吐率,因此 要使用更复杂的调制格式,对功率放大器提出了更苛 刻的线性要求。与此相反的要求是提高能效,这促使 功放工作在非线性区域。解决这个矛盾的一个普遍接 受的方法是使用数字预失真(PDP)。DPD让功放可 以工作在高效但非线性的区域,同时保持发射信号的 线性,这是现代数字调制格式的要求。本文将回顾在 一个商用射频功放上评估的几种PDP模型和算法。另 外,我们将给出一个用于PDP模型抽取和验证的自动 测试框架。

摘要 设计中的电磁仿真的一般目的是减少原型数量以降低成 本和缩短上市时间。然而,这只有当电磁仿真的结果是 正确的时才是可能的。然后可以期待仿真和测量结果的 一致。两个结果出现差异有很多可能的原因,包括:几 何尺寸差异(过度蚀刻、过度研磨、圆角),材料属性 (电介质各向异性、表面粗糙),安装性能(环绕结 构),馈送差异(连接器建模)。在本研讨会中,我 们将探讨仿真、使用CST STUDIO SUITE®和测量之间 的关系,并解释三者各适合做什么。在某些条件下, 测量可能更难做而仿真比较容易,反之亦然。仿真允 许研究一个设计的很多变化。我们将展示如何用仿真 软件进行假设分析及其在设计的初期阶段的可行性。 最后,将展示用测量数据来校准仿真结果。这对于很 难建模的现象如表面粗糙度或低成本器件的建模很有 用。

柔性印刷电路材料在医疗 环境中的应用 Wingkin Li, Taconic

摘要 通用柔性电路板让可以弯曲的电子器件装入紧张的空 间。多数柔性电路板只有一层或两层厚,只能弯曲几 次,适合“弯曲再安装”应用,常见于各种医疗和消 费产品中。更复杂的柔性电路板有3层或更多层,能 弯曲更多次或者弯曲后进入非常规的封装。电子工程 师正在创造出很多新型柔性电路,它们有不寻常的特 性,在能可靠地量产前还只进行了少量的研究和试 验。在本研讨会中,演讲人将展示一个实例:费米国 家加速器实验室需要一个用于加速器内的粒子探测器 的柔性电路。这个电路要作为一个受控的阻抗板,因 为它要探测弱信号,所以要使用低损耗材料。这个电 路还不能释放气体。实验室的研究员不希望探测器发 现的粒子是电路释放的。另外,这个电路要足够柔 软,能够放进狭小的盒子里,它甚至需要4层铜箔,两 层传信号,两层屏蔽信号。这个电路也要耐焊接以完 成所有的电连接。

5G – The Next Challenge for Test and Measurement Josef Wolf, Director of Spectrum/Network ANA and EMC, Rohde & Schwarz

Abstract In 2013 a number of both research and individual company publications covered 5G as the next cellular technology. Al- though in an early stage of discussion and in the absence of an accurate 5G defi nition, some major trends can be identi- fi ed already today. To cope with the increasing amount of data traffi c, a number of solutions are discussed. These in- clude new frequency ranges, higher bandwidth and better usage of the spectrum, i.e., more sophisticated transmission schemes and antenna technology. Taking into account that high frequencies impact the achievable range signifi cantly, a tight integration with existing cellular technologies like LTE/LTE-Advanced will likely be required. The T&M indus- try needs to be a forerunner enabling the development and test of any new technology. This presentation highlights the T&M impact from some of the technology components fore- seeable today. Biography Josef Wolf studied RF and microwave engineering at the Technical University in Munich. After receiving his degree he joined Rohde & Schwarz in 1979. He has been respon- sible for the design of the R&S EMI test receivers. Starting from 1993 he has been responsible for R&D of R&S spec- trum analyzers. He set new industry standards for power measurement using spectrum analyzers and combined for the fi rst time a spectrum analyzer and a vector signal ana- lyzer. Since 2003, he has been managing the R&S spectrum and vector network analyzer division.

Abstract Modern radar systems are very complex and depend heav- ily on advanced signal processing algorithms to improve the detection performance of the radar. At the same time, the radio front end must meet the specifications that are often the combination of available devices, implementation tech- nologies, regulatory constraints, requirements from the sys- tem and signal processing. To overcome these challenges, there is an increasing need for cooperation between digital and RF/microwave engineer such that the overall system performance metrics are jointly optimized across the two disparate domains. In this demo, we show how the AWR Design Environment can be combined with National Instru- ments LabVIEW and PXI instruments to design, validate, and prototype a radar system. NI-AWR integrated framework provides a unique avenue for both digital and RF engineers, as well as system engineers, to collaborate on a complex radar system.

Uncertainty and Stability in True Differential-Drive Measurements Jon Martens, Anritsu

Abstract The high speed characterization and model development for many high-speed components may include differential return loss, transmission and mode conversion measure- ments under real-world drive conditions, particularly for digital drivers, buffers and related components. As such, true differential drive at large signal levels is often needed and measurements have sometimes been a challenge. To minimize re-calibrations and to have confidence in the data, a highly stable method of making these measurements and an understanding of any uncertainty degradation can help. The mechanisms of importance will be discussed along with an implementation of true-differential drive S-param- eter measurements with phase drive accuracies of better than a few degrees, at frequencies for 50 Gb/s systems and beyond, more than 24 hours after calibration and with rela- tively minor uncertainty degradation relative to single-end- ed measurements. This behavior can allow more accurate characterization and model generation including the pres- ence of fewer causality problems. Biography Jon Martens received his PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Wisconsin in 1990. Since 1995, he has been with Anritsu working on measurement system archi- tectures, algorithm development and microwave/millimeter- wave circuit design.

Shaping Emerging RF Technologies through Multiphysics Simulation Jiyoun Munn, COMSOL

Abstract The ultimate goal of simulation is to boost the efficiency and productivity of RF products by closely mimicking the effects observed in reality. Since the real world cannot be governed by a single physics equation, simulation tools should address multiple scientific phenomena including heat transfer, fluid flow, plasma, and structural mechanics as well as electro- magnetics.

Simulation and Measurement: Complementary Design Tools Klaus Krohne, CST

Abstract The usual aim of electromagnetic simulation in design is to lower the number of prototypes to reduce costs and time to market. However, this is only possible when the EM simu- lator is given the correct input data that accurately repre- sents the physical device. Then an excellent agreement be- tween simulation and measurement can be expected. There are many possible causes of discrepancies between the two, including geometric differences (over-etching, over- milling, rounded corners), material properties (anisotropic dielectrics, surface roughness), installed performance (sur- rounding structures) and feed discrepancies (connector modeling). In this workshop we will explore the relation- ship between simulation, using CST STUDIO SUITE®, and measurement, and explain what each domain is best suited for. In some situations measurement can be difficult to per- form while simulation is simpler, and vice versa. Simulation allows many variations on a design to be investigated, us- ing techniques such as parameter sweeps, sensitivity and yield analysis. We will show how simulation can be used for what-if analysis and feasibility studies at early stage of design before first prototypes. Finally, the use of measured data to calibrate simulation will be shown. This is useful for hard-to-model phenomena like surface roughness or for the modeling of low cost adapters. Biography Dr. Klaus Krohne received his electrical engineering degree (Dipl.-Ing.) from the Darmstadt University of Technology in Germany in 2001 and his PhD Degree (Dr. sc.) from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich in 2007.

Abstract For many years, the main consideration for mobile networks was to deliver voice services, at least equivalent to the land based telephone system’s quality. Historically, consumers have come to accept call drops and degradation of speech while using mobile phones; this is now set to change. With the advancement of mobile technologies moving towards higher data rates through LTE, there is also an expectation from consumers for improved voice clarity and video quality over mobile devices. Competition between network operators is increasingly more fierce, with tight pressure to deploy op- timized and reliable high definition voice and video services from day one of rollout. Therefore network operators have mi- grated to the next-generation mobile networks based on LTE including the evolved packet core (EPC). Considerable effort is put into the transition of services such as SMS, Voice and Video to the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture. This session introduces objective measures and testing strat- egies to assess voice and video quality. We address also the sources of degradation as well as subjective and objective quality assessment techniques. We have investigated the ef- fect of different 3GPP fading profiles on the video transmis- sion quality with a physical simulation setup in the lab. We will also discuss the results and implications.

Analysis of RADAR Pulses with 500 MHz Analysis Bandwidth and Real-Time Spectrum Analysis Wolfgang Wendler, Rohde & Schwarz

Abstract Analysis of short radar pulses in the ns range needs a wide analysis bandwidth to give short system rise times. A de- modulation bandwidth of 500 MHz makes the signal and spectrum analyzer R&S FSW a powerful tool for this wide- band application. With the Rohde & Schwarz R&S FSW-K6 pulse measurement option all elements of pulse character- izations such as rise and fall time, droop, pulse width, duty cycle, settling time and pulse-to-pulse trending are greatly simplified. Users get all important parameters by push of a button. In addition, the R&S FSW can analyze frequency ag- ile radars automatically over the whole analysis bandwidth of 500 MHz providing hopping sequences or chirp analysis using the option FSW-K60. With real-time extension the R&S FSW does not miss any event over a 160 MHz wide span. With nearly 600,000 spectra per second it is the fastest real- time analyzer with a POI of 1.87 µs. A frequency mask trigger can detect short events in the frequency range and the per- sistence spectrum finds hidden signals or short transients easily. During the workshop pulsed and frequency agile ra- dar signals will be analyzed and the capability of real-time spectrum analysis will be shown. Biography Dr. Wolfgang Wendler studied physics at the University of Bayreuth from 1986 to 1996, where he did his PhD thesis in 1996 on nuclear magnetic properties of Pt and Al. He joined Rohde & Schwarz in 2004 as product manager for signal and spectrum analyzers. Prior to joining R&S, he worked as de- velopment engineer for wireless communication transceiv- er chips at Temic Semiconductor GmbH in Heilbronn and as process engineer at Loewe Opta GmbH.

Flexible Printed Circuit Materials Work in Medical Environments Wingkin Li, Taconic

Abstract General-purpose flexible circuit “boards” have electronic components that can bend to fit in tight spaces. Most are just one or two layers thick and are meant for “flex-to-in- stall” applications because they tolerate only a few flex cy- cles. They are found in a variety of medical and consumer products. More complex flex circuits have three or more layers and are based on specifications that require, for in- stance, high flex cycles or must be bent or flexed to fit into unusual packaging. Electrical engineers are getting so cre- ative that many new flex circuits have unusual features and take a little research and experimentation before they are confidently manufactured in quantity. In this workshop, the presenters show a case study where the Fermi National Ac- celerator Laboratory is needed a flex circuit for an unusual application – a particle detector inside the accelerator. The circuit had to work as a controlled impedance board with a low-loss material because the circuit would be detecting low-amplitude or weak signals. Also, the circuit could not out-gas. Lab researchers didn’t want the detector finding particles that were released from the circuit. In addition, the circuit had to be flexible enough to fold into a cramped enclosure, even though the design required four copper lay- ers, two layers of signals and two for shielding. The circuit would also have to withstand soldering to make all the elec- trical connections.

Biography Wingkin Li is the Asia technical services manager for Tacon- ic high frequency composite board. Since the late 1990s, Li has been engaged in high frequency circuit board design and manufacturing. In 2005, Li became responsible for the development of high frequency sheet products in Asia and application development, research and development main areas such as: third-order intermodulation, high frequency material in the millimeter-wave applications (60 GHz) and high speed (25 Gbps) applications, high frequency skin ef- fect caused by wear and tear.
