TL;DR: In this article, a coplanar waveguide structure on various substrates at 900 MHz was measured and significant distortion for silicon substrates was demonstrated for the first time, and the contribution of the silicon substrate to high harmonic levels was investigated experimentally, and an efficient technological solution based on the introduction of a traprich layer was demonstrated.
Abstract: Harmonic distortion (HD) is measured arising from coplanar waveguide structures on various substrates at 900 MHz, and significant distortion for silicon substrates is demonstrated for the first time. For an input power of +35 dBm, 2nd harmonic power of -47 dBm and 3rd of -57 dBm are measured for a thru calibration structure on oxidized high-resistivity silicon (HRS) substrates, and 2nd harmonic of -23 and 3rd of -20 dBm for a longer line on a thinner oxide. These levels are high compared to a full cellular transmit switch product specification of -45 and -40 dBm for 2nd and 3rd harmonics, respectively, at similar power levels. The contribution of the silicon substrate to high harmonic levels is investigated experimentally, and an efficient technological solution based on the introduction of a trap-rich layer is demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a distributed active filter system (DAFS) for alleviating the harmonic distortion of power systems, which consists of multiple active filter units installed on the same location or different locations within the power system.
Abstract: This paper proposes a distributed active filter system (DAFS) for alleviating the harmonic distortion of power systems. The proposed DAFS consists of multiple active filter units installed on the same location or different locations within the power system. The active filter units of the proposed DAFS can cooperate, without any communication among them, to reduce the voltage harmonic distortion of the power lines. Each individual active filter unit functions like a harmonic conductance to reduce voltage harmonics. A droop relationship between the harmonic conductance and the volt-ampere of the active filter unit is programmed into the controller of each unit so multiple active filter units can share the workload of harmonic filtering. The slope of the droop is determined by the volt-ampere rating of the active filter unit in order to distribute the harmonic filtering workload in proportion to the rated capacity of each unit. The principle of operation is explained in this paper and test results based on computer simulation and laboratory test bench are provided to validate the functionalities of the proposed DAFS.

TL;DR: In this paper, an alternative technique based on the harmonic or Fourier model was proposed to model the magnetic field distribution and torque output in the flux switching permanent magnet machine (FPM) for applications demanding high torque density and high speed capability.
Abstract: For applications demanding a high torque density and high speed capability, the flux switching permanent magnet machine is an excellent candidate. However, the double salient structure and nonlinear behavior increases the challenge to model the magnetic field distribution and torque output. To date, only the magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC) is employed to model the magnetic field in an analytical manner. However, the MEC method suffers from a coarse discretization and the need for a relative complex adjustment when rotor movement or a parametric sweep is considered. Therefore this paper discusses an alternative technique based on the harmonic or Fourier model which solves these difficulties.

TL;DR: In this article, a broadband Doherty power amplifier based on the continuous mode technique (C-DPA) is proposed, which is focused on manipulating harmonic components in a DPA structure to improve bandwidth and efficiency.
Abstract: In this paper, a novel broadband Doherty power amplifier based on the continuous-mode technique (C-DPA) is proposed. The amplifier is focused on manipulating harmonic components in a Doherty power amplifier (DPA) structure to achieve improved bandwidth and efficiency. In a conventional DPA, harmonic isolation is typically required between the two transistors to prevent them from modulating each other at harmonic frequencies. However, as presented in this paper, such isolation is not actually necessary. On the contrary, by allowing the two transistors to modulate each other at harmonic frequencies with the help of a properly designed postharmonic tuning network, a series of highly efficient DPA modes can be created over a continuous frequency band, leading to a broadband C-DPA. Based on the proposed method, an example of a C-DPA working from 1.65 to 2.75 GHz was designed. According to the measured results, the designed C-DPA exhibits a 52%–66% efficiency at a −6 dB power backoff and a power utilization factor higher than 1.08 over the 1.1-GHz band. In addition, when simulated by a 7.5-dB peak-to-average power ratio 20-MHz LTE signal, the example C-DPA exhibits an efficiency of 46%–62% while maintaining an adjacent channel power ratio below −45 dBc after linearization over the full 1.1-GHz band. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first proposed C-DPA and a state-of-the-art performance for broadband DPAs.
