  1. Simulate LINC system in ADS Song Lin @ECE.UTK 03/30/2005

  2. What is the LINC? There are many linearization techniques. • Feed-forward • Pre-distortion • LINC Linear amplification using nonlinear components (LINC) is a technique whereby a linear modulation signal is converted into two constant envelope signals that are independently amplified by power-efficient Class D amplifiers and then combined using a hybrid coupler.

  3. The use of power efficient amplifiers can provide significant improvement in the PAE of the overall system. Fig1:Simplified block diagram for an outphasing power amplifier

  4. Fig2:Separation of two component signals from the source signal S1(t) and S2(t) are the modulated phase and constant amplitude signals

  5. The problem we want to solve • The Class D Power amplifier. • The reconfigurable Combiner. • The phase detector. • The phase shifter. • The amplitude detector. • The DSP part.

  6. ADS simulation LINC at system level

  7. ADS simulation results (ideal)

  8. ADS simulation (non-ideal)

  9. ADS simulation non-ideal results

  10. The class D power amplifier • Use the Load-Pull technology to match the output port

  11. Use S parameter to match the input port To simplify the design, I chose the narrow band system working around 850MHz. To design the wideband PA, there is another way to go for matching.

  12. The phase detector

  13. Use the MCU to control the comparing time, and then get the relationship of the phase different and the voltage. After getting the voltage, we can use the MCU to control the analogy phase shifter to balance the phase of the two branches

  14. Phase shifter

  15. Wide band 90 degree lumped hybrid

  16. Reconfigurable transformer

  17. For the reconfigurable transformer, we still have a long way to go. I think we can use the switch to make the transmission line transformer to be reconfigurable. Although this kind of reconfigurable transformer can get very high efficiency but it has very poor isolation between the two input port. So we should find the best point to meet the requirement.

  18. Several Technology to improve the LINC

  19. ELINC

  20. Next stage: • Combine the feedback technology and the ELINC technology. • Figure out the reconfigurable power combiner.

  21. THANK YOU!
