摘要

This dissertation introduces several new architectures used in microwave adaptive front ends. The need for adaptive system hardware in wireless communication systems is being driven by several factors such as performance and budget. In order to improve both performance and system cost, the receiver and transmitter in a wireless system may be controlled adaptively.; The first type of system examined is a new smart antenna array receiver with adaptive beamforming. The novel system offers a drastic reduction in hardware requirements for the smart antenna system through the use of a new Spatial MultIplexing of Local Elements (SMILE) scheme. In this scheme a single element of the array is sequentially connected to signal processing circuitry in order to sample the incoming modulated carrier. The sampling rate is chosen so the information of the original signal can be fully restored in the post stages. This system offers an N times reduction in hardware for an N element array. System principles, SNR, advantages, and hardware, including a new type of array feed network, are discussed. The system performance is validated through a link test with digitally modulated data.; RF radiation performance of the antenna array is of concern and so is investigated. A new method for reducing mutual coupling in a SMILE antenna arrays using patch antenna elements is proposed as a way to improve radiation performance. In the SMILE scheme, the newly proposed array feed network affects mutual coupling. It is demonstrated that proper design of the feed network may reduce mutual coupling significantly, yielding nearly ideal radiation characteristics. Results show a reduction in side lobe level of several decibels, increased accuracy in beam pointing during scan, and improved null depth and placement.; Finally, transmitter issues are addressed through the realization that variable time delay is required for the best level of error cancelation in a high power feed forward amplifier. A new circuit topology is realized in order to synthesize group delay continuously. The circuit is based upon a new variable coupling coefficient coupled line section and a microstrip feedback loop. The new variable coupler is designed by periodically loading an edge coupled microstrip coupler. With this new design, coupling variation of more than 10 dB may be achieved. To the best of the authors knowledge, this is the first report of this type of microstrip coupler. The complete circuit consumes no DC power and exhibits more than 500 ps of continuous variable true time delay.
