  • HISTORY AND PROGRESS OF THE TOW-THOMAS BIQUADRATIC FILTER PART II: OTRA, CCII, AND DVCC REALIZATIONS
    Journal of Circuits Systems and Computers, 2008
    Co-Authors: Ahmed M. Soliman
    Abstract:

    The realization of the Tow–Thomas (TT) circuit using the Operational Transresistance Amplifier (OTRA) is reviewed. The circuit employs two OTRA, and all passive elements are floating as the original Tow–Thomas circuit. The Current Conveyor (CCII) TT circuits are reviewed next. The progress in the realization of the TT circuit using CCII is demonstrated clearly by summarizing eight different circuits. One of the circuits has the advantage of very high input impedance using all grounded resistors and capacitors. The Differential Voltage Current Conveyor (DVCC) as the active building block in realizing the TT circuit is also considered. Finally, current mode TT circuits using balanced output CCII are summarized. Top Spice (level 49), simulation results using technology SCN 05 feature size 0.5 μm from MOSIS vendor: AGILENT are included to demonstrate the magnitude and Phase Frequency Response of the TT circuits. Additional simulation results for the total power dissipation, total harmonic distortion, intermodulation IM3, input and output referred noise spectral densities are also included for comparison purposes.

  • Tunable Substrate Integrated Waveguide Phase Shifter Using High Dielectric Constant Slab
    IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters, 2020
    Co-Authors: Zahra Rahimian Omam, Wael M. Abdel-wahab, Ali Pourziad, Saeid Nikmehr, Ardeshir Palizban, Suren Gigoyan, Safieddin Safavi-naeini
    Abstract:

    This letter presents a low-cost, low-profile, and high-performance $Ka$ -band continuously tunable substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) Phase shifter. The proposed Phase shifter consists of a slot cut on the SIW’s broad wall and a high dielectric constant slab over the slot. The Phase-shifting mechanism is based on perturbing the electric field of the SIW’s fundamental mode, TE10-like, by putting a high dielectric constant slab over the slot of SIW structure to create slow wave phenomena. A prototype is designed, fabricated, and measured. The fabricated Phase shifter exhibits linear PhaseFrequency Response behavior with an average insertion loss less than 1.5 dB with an insertion loss variation less than 0.5 dB over a Phase shift range of 275° in the operating Frequency band (29–31 GHz). The Phase shifter consumes a maximum of 25-mW power.

  • Effects of Resonance-Based Phase Shifters on Ka-Band Phased Array Antenna Performance for Satellite Communications
    Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, 2014
    Co-Authors: Mehrbod Mohajer, Mohammadsadegh Faraji-dana, Safieddin Safavi-naeini
    Abstract:

    Phase shifters are the key components of Phased array systems which provide a low-profile solution for Ka-band satellite communications. In the transmitting mode, it is crucial for the Phased array antenna system to meet the standard radiation masks, and any imperfections of Phase shifters can yield into radiation mask violation. In this paper, we present the analytical approach to model the non-linear Phase-Frequency characteristics of Resonance-Based Phase shifters, which constitute one of the most widely used class of Phase shifters for Ka-band satellite communications. Furthermore, it has been investigated how the Phase-Frequency Response non-linearity affects the Phased array radiation patterns, gain, and the beam pointing direction. The simulation results show that, depending on the Phase shifter Phase-Frequency Response profile, the radiation mask satisfaction is an important factor in determining the system bandwidth.
