Koszykowa 75, 00-662 Warsaw, Poland; [email protected] or [email protected] (T.B.); [email protected] (W.A.P.) 2 ChipCraft Sp. z o.o., ul. Dobrza´nskiego3, lok. BS073, 20-262 Lublin, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: A new 1.575 GHz active balun with a classic double-balanced Gilbert mixer for global navigation satellite systems is proposed herein. A simple, low-noise amplifier architecture is used with a center-tapped inductor to generate a differential signal equal in amplitude and shifted in phase by 180◦. The main advantage of the proposed circuit is that the phase shift between the outputs is always equal to 180◦, with an accuracy of ±5◦, and the gain difference between the balun outputs does not change by more than 1.5 dB. This phase shift and gain difference between the outputs are also preserved for all process corners, as well as temperature and voltage supply variations. In the balun design, a band calibration system based on a switchable capacitor bank is proposed. The balun and mixer were designed with a 110 nm CMOS process, consuming only a 2.24 mA current from a 1.5 V supply. The measured noise figure and conversion gain of the balun and mixer were, respectively, NF = 7.7 dB and GC = 25.8 dB in the band of interest.

  • Novel Implementations of Wideband Tightly Coupled Dipole Arrays for Wide-Angle Scanning
    Novel Implementations of Wideband Tightly Coupled Dipole Arrays for Wide-Angle Scanning Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ersin Yetisir, B.S., M.S. Graduate Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: John L. Volakis, Advisor Nima Ghalichechian, Co-advisor Chi-Chih Chen Fernando L. Teixeira © Copyright by Ersin Yetisir 2015 Abstract Ultra-wideband (UWB) antennas and arrays are essential for high data rate communications and for addressing spectrum congestion. Tightly coupled dipole arrays (TCDAs) are of particular interest due to their low-profile, bandwidth and scanning range. But existing UWB (>3:1 bandwidth) arrays still suffer from limited scanning, particularly at angles beyond 45° from broadside. Almost all previous wideband TCDAs have employed dielectric layers above the antenna aperture to improve scanning while maintaining impedance bandwidth. But even so, these UWB arrays have been limited to no more than 60° away from broadside. In this work, we propose to replace the dielectric superstrate with frequency selective surfaces (FSS). In effect, the FSS is used to create an effective dielectric layer placed over the antenna array. FSS also enables anisotropic responses and more design freedom than conventional isotropic dielectric substrates. Another important aspect of the FSS is its ease of fabrication and low weight, both critical for mobile platforms (e.g. unmanned air vehicles), especially at lower microwave frequencies. Specifically, it can be fabricated using standard printed circuit technology and integrated on a single board with active radiating elements and feed lines.

Abstract: This article presents an efficient method for prosumer connection to the distribution line. The prosumers can be connected to the distribution line using specially designed controllable reactive impedance. The reactive impedance is controlled using specially designed coils and magnetic core. The internal coil is wound in the toroidal direction (across the z-axis) and creates a toroidal shape. A thin ferromagnetic strip is coiled on this toroidal shape in the poloidal direction to form the ferromagnetic core. Then, an external coil is wound on this ferromagnetic core in the poloidal direction. The internal coil is controlled by the inductive impedance of the external coil, which is related to the anisotropic properties of ferromagnetic strips. The internal coil is connected between the power supply line and a prosumer. This arrangement confirms the magnetic independence of coils and the symmetry of the current in the internal coil. The magnetic coupling between both coils is very low (~0.015–0.017) and appropriate for engineering applications.

  • Analysis of Inductive Coupling Wireless Power Transfer Systems
    Analysis of Inductive Coupling Wireless Power Transfer Systems Arianna Ginette Amaya Colina [email protected] Department of Electrical and Information Technology Lund University Academic Supervisor: Professor Buon Kiong Lau ([email protected]) Industrial Supervisor: Laurens Swaans ([email protected]) Examiner: Professor Mats Gustafsson ([email protected]) September 14, 2018 c 2018 Printed in Sweden Tryckeriet i E-huset, Lund Abstract Inductive coupling wireless power transfer (WPT) technology is gaining increasing popularity in recent years, especially in the field of wireless charging of portable devices. Although the principles behind WPT systems can be explained using well known results from electromagnetic theory, many questions remain regarding the behavior of such systems. This thesis focuses on identifying and analyzing the most important parameters of such system, with emphasis on the coupling factor. Algorithms to calculate the coupling factor and other parameters based on mathematical models of physical phenomena are developed and presented. This algorithm development is also called the analytical approach. For the coupling factor part, a commercial electromagnetic simulation software (Ansys Maxwell) was selected to validate the results obtained from the corresponding algorithm and also evaluate the performance of general-purpose simulators suitable for use in this field. For other WPT system parameters, the algorithm was compared to the results from LTspice. The results obtained from the developed algorithms and simulations are compared to measurement results collected from real transmitter and receiver coils. The results show that both the analytical and simulation ap- proaches can provide estimated parameter values of interest that are close to the empirical values, with percentage error being in the low single digits in most sce- narios.

  • Wireless Power Transfer Solution for High Performance Including Data Transmission
    Application Note Proprietary wireless power transfer solution for high performance including data transmission ANP070 // ANDREAS UNTERREITMEIER 1 Introduction 2 How inductive wireless power transmission With the increasing spread of wireless power transfer in consumer works electronics, e.g. in smartphones and charging stations, manufacturers of We use only near-field energy transmission. This type of transmission industrial and medical technology are focusing more and more on this includes inductive coupling based on the magnetic flux between two coils. technology and its benefits. This technology offers interesting approaches, As shown in figure 2, the transmission path consists of four main especially for industries and areas where harsh working conditions are components. On the transmitter side, there is a transmitter coil; and an common, such as construction machinery, explosive atmospheres (ATEX), oscillator, which works as an inverter. On the receiver side, the system agriculture, etc. For example, expensive and vulnerable slip rings can be consists of the receiver coil and the rectifier, which generates DC from the superseded, reducing maintenance and extending the life-cycle of the AC input. The oscillator generates an alternating current from the input product. DC voltage, which then generates an alternating field in the transmitter In medical technology, too, contactless energy transfer offers numerous coil (L1). Due to the counter-induction between the two coils, the energy benefits. Special requirements for hygiene and sterility of medical devices is transmitted between the transmitter coil (L1) and the receiver coil (L2). apply here, while the devices and systems must also be resistant to harsh The alternating current in the transmitter coil induces an alternating cleaning agents and chemicals.
