Ferendeci Abstract In this thesis, X-band phase shifters have been investigated and developed to meet the needs of future multi-antenna communication systems. Different types of digital phase shifters have been described with design equations. An X-band analog phase shifter using vector sum method is designed and simulated in ADS environment. A new biphase modulator using Lange coupler structure is developed and employed in the analog phase shifter. The simulation results show around 12dB insertion loss and around 10dB reflection coefficient. The phase error for each state is better than some of the commercially available products. As an application of the phase shifter, a phased array receiver is proposed on a print circuit board. The receiver is to instantaneously configure the phased array to the direction to which the signal comes from. The integration of antenna array, RF circuit, analog-to-digital converter, and microprocessor gives the receiver practical application in wireless communication area. iii iv Acknowledgements Many thanks are due my thesis advisor, Professor Altan M.

  • SWITCHES for DAC the Switches Which Connects the Digital Binary Input to the Nodes of a D/A Converter Is an Electronic Switch
    SWITCHES FOR DAC The Switches which connects the digital binary input to the nodes of a D/A converter is an electronic switch. Although switches can be made of using diodes, Bipolar junction Transistors, Field Effect transistors or MOSFETs, They are i) Switches using MOS Transistor- Totem pole MOSFET Switch and CMOS Inverter Switch. i) Totem pole MOSFET Switch: The switches are in series with resistor R and therefore, their on resistance must be very low and they should have zero offset voltage. Bipolar transistor do not perform well as voltage switches, due to the inherent offset voltage when in saturation. However, using MOSFET, this can be achieved. Different types of digitally controlled SPDT electronics switches are available. A totem pole MOSFET driver feeds each resistor connected to the inverting input terminal 'a' . The two complementary gate inputs Q and 푄̅ come from MosFET S-R flip-flop or a binary cell of a register which holds one bit of the digital information to be converted to an analog number. Assume a negative logic, i e. logic '1' corresponds to -10 V and logic "0' corresponds to zero 0v. If there is 'l' in the bit line, S=1 and R= 0 so that Q =1 and 푄̅ = 0. This drives t he transistor Q1 on, thus connecting the resistor R1 to the reference voltage -VR whereas the transistor Q2 remains off. Similarly a "0" at the bit line connects the resistor R1 to the ground terminal. ii) CMOS Inverter Switch: Another SPDT switch consists of CMOS inverter feeding an op-amp voltage follower which drives R1 from a very low output resistance.

  • Basic Electronic Components
    An introduction to electronic components that you will need to build a motor speed controller. Resistors A resistor impedes the flow of electricity through a circuit. Resistors have a set value. Since voltage, current and resistance are related through Ohm’s law, resistors are a good way to control voltage and current in your circuit. 2 More on resistors Resistor color codes 1st band = 1st number 2nd band = 2nd number 3rd band = # of zeros / multiplier 4th band = tolerance 3 Color code Tolerance: Gold = within 5% Black: 0 Brown: 1 Red: 2 Orange: 3 Yellow: 4 Green: 5 Blue: 6 Violet: 7 Gray: 8 White: 9 4 Units Knowing your units is important! Kilo and Mega are common in resistors Milli, micro, nano and pico can be used in other components K (kilo) = 1,000 M (mega) = 1,000,000 M (milli) = 1/1,000 u (micro) = 1/1,000,000 n (nano) = 1/1,000,000,000 (one trillionth) p (pico) = 1 / 1,000,000,000,000 (one quadrillionth) 5 Capacitors A capacitor stores electrical energy. This pool of electrons is available for electronic components to use. Capacitance is measured in Farads. The small capacitors usually used in electronics are often measured in microfarads and nanofarads. Some capacitors are polarized. Note the different length terminals on one of the capacitors. 6 Polarity of capacitors The shorter terminal goes on the negative side. The stripe is on the negative terminal side of the capacitor. The board is marked for positive or negative. 7 Applications of capacitors Capacitors supply a pool of electrons for immediate use.

    micromachines Review Overview of Power Electronic Switches: A Summary of the Past, State-of-the-Art and Illumination of the Future Immanuel N. Jiya 1,* and Rupert Gouws 2 1 Department of Engineering Sciences, University of Agder, 4879 Grimstad, Norway 2 School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering, North-West University, Potchefstroom 2520, South Africa; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +47-486-136-70 Received: 30 October 2020; Accepted: 12 December 2020; Published: 16 December 2020 Abstract: As the need for green and effective utilization of energy continues to grow, the advancements in the energy and power electronics industry are constantly driven by this need, as both industries are intertwined for obvious reasons. The developments in the power electronics industry has over the years hinged on the progress of the semiconductor device industry. The semiconductor device industry could be said to be on the edge of a turn into a new era, a paradigm shift from the conventional silicon devices to the wide band gap semiconductor technologies. While a lot of work is being done in research and manufacturing sectors, it is important to look back at the past, evaluate the current progress and look at the prospects of the future of this industry. This paper is unique at this time because it seeks to give a good summary of the past, the state-of-the-art, and highlight the opportunities for future improvements. A more or less ‘forgotten’ power electronic switch, the four-quadrant switch, is highlighted as an opportunity waiting to be exploited as this switch presents a potential for achieving an ideal switch.

  • Bipolar Transistor Basics
    Bipolar Transistor Basics In the Diode tutorials we saw that simple diodes are made up from two pieces of semiconductor material, either silicon or germanium to form a simple PN-junction and we also learnt about their properties and characteristics. If we now join together two individual signal diodes back-to-back, this will give us two PN-junctions connected together in series that share a common P or N terminal. The fusion of these two diodes produces a three layer, two junction, three terminal device forming the basis of a Bipolar Transistor, or BJT for short. Transistors are three terminal active devices made from different semiconductor materials that can act as either an insulator or a conductor by the application of a small signal voltage. The transistor's ability to change between these two states enables it to have two basic functions: "switching" (digital electronics) or "amplification" (analogue electronics). Then bipolar transistors have the ability to operate within three different regions: • 1. Active Region - the transistor operates as an amplifier and Ic = β.Ib • • 2. Saturation - the transistor is "fully-ON" operating as a switch and Ic = I(saturation) • • 3. Cut-off - the transistor is "fully-OFF" operating as a switch and Ic = 0 Typical Bipolar Transistor The word Transistor is an acronym, and is a combination of the words Transfer Varistor used to describe their mode of operation way back in their early days of development. There are two basic types of bipolar transistor construction, NPN and PNP, which basically describes the physical arrangement of the P-type and N-type semiconductor materials from which they are made.

The paper shows the results of open state electronic switch resistance simulation and also leakage current in closed state.
