We present an assessment of the impacts of a +2°C global warming on extreme floods and hydrological droughts (1 in 10 and 1 in 100 year events) in Europe using eleven bias-corrected climate model simulations from CORDEX Europe and three hydrological models. The results show quite contrasted results between northern and southern Europe. Flood magnitudes are expected to increase significantly south...
In this paper it is analyzed whether the commonly used continuous-wave (CW) based theory can properly describe and predict the behavior of the Doherty power amplifier (DPA) under wideband or concurrent multi-band operation. The analysis shows that the CW-theory in fact fails to do so and that the functionality of the DPA is strongly dependent on how intermodulation frequencies are terminated. In particular,...
Design and realization of two continuously tunable phase shifters for 1.4 GHz band is presented. Both circuits are based on SiC varactors, conceived to enable high-voltage, high-power operation, and suitable for application in the transmitter chain of reconfigurable radios. Experimental characterization shows, for the loaded line phase shifter, 74 ° maximum phase shift with insertion loss lower than...
In this paper, a 10 W peak power 2 GHz highly efficient RF pulse width modulation (RF-PWM) based transmitter is presented. RF-PWM signals are generated with a dedicated 65 nm CMOS modulator and subsequently amplified with a GaN Class-E power amplifier (PA). The modulator use extended drain MOS (EDMOS) high voltage transistors to provide the required voltage swing to drive the GaN used as a switch...
SiC Schottky diode varactors have been fabricated for use in microwave power applications, specifically the dynamic load modulation of power amplifiers. A custom doping profile has been employed to spread the C(V) over a large bias voltage range, thereby increasing the effective tuning range under large voltage swing conditions. The small-signal tuning range is approximately six, and punch through...
Design and characterization of a double-stub impedance tuner at 1.4 GHz, based on SiC varactors, fabricated at the Chalmers University, is presented. Preliminary studies are carried out to evaluate the capacitance range required to reach the desired impedance coverage, extending from 15 to 80Ω. Accurate optimization is then completed through RF CAD simulation adopting a reliable nonlinear varactor...
