Full textThe fast development of wireless communication led to an increasing demand for new developments on antennas. These developments were backed by an urgent need for more complex architectures due to the need of reconfigurability in terms of frequency, reliability, radiation pattern and power consumption. In order to cover those needs, this work is based on an original reconfigurable antenna with a simplified feed network developed by XLIM laboratory, to offer an attractive tradeoff in terms of performances, complexity and cost. This new architecture is based on previous works from the laboratory (2012-2015) and a first proof of concept working at 2.45 GHz. The work proposed for this PhD is based on the development of this new architecture to manage the problems of periodic antenna arrays. Two main axes were developed during this work. The first axis consists to demonstrate the interest of this concept to manage the active VSWR of each excited element using loads connected to the parasitic elements, avoiding the need for circulators, while reducing the complexity of feed network. The second part of our work is dedicated to illustrating the potentialities of these antennas to reduce the grating lobes, while defining a constraint on the level of sidelobes. A manufactured prototype is presented in order to experimentally validate the potentialities of these antennas

Full textThese works are a part of the MUSIC’s (Monolithic mUlti-Standard Integrated Components) project supported by the RNRT. The aim is the integration of small multiband antennas into a mobile handset to receive several communications systems. In the first part of this thesis, the study of a broadband circularly polarised antenna is described. The second part deals with the study ant the realisation of linearly polarisation antennas for the third generation of mobile phone. These elements must satisfy different criterions (broad and multiple bands, omnidirectional radiated field, small size) difficult to obtain simultaneously. Several techniques are used to achieve these characteristics like, stacked resonators, addition of short-circuit, shorting posts and slots. The simultaneous applying of some of these techniques has led to the elaboration of broadband antennas for DCS/PCSUMTS telecommunications standards, of prototypes associating two antennas laid on a small ground plane for GSM/DCS/PCS/UMTS standards, of dual and wide-band structures, especially one realised on a reduced ground plane for GSM/DCS/PCS/UMTS. Parametric studies have allowed the interpretation of physical phenomenon and the estimate of the influence of the different parameters. Several realisations have validated the structures steamed from simulations tools

Full textThis work focuses on the design and fabrication of high speed photodiodes and their integration with a semiconductor optical preamplifier for short reach 100 gbit/s links. The first section of this study is dedicated to the optimization of an utc photodiode for 100 gbit/s links. Due to the implementation of an electric field in the absorption layer, owing to a gradual doping, and the optimization of a multimode waveguide, a high responsivity (0,6 A/W at 1,55 µm), an ultra wide 3-dB bandwidth (>120 ghz) and a high saturation current (20 MA at 50 GHz) are simultaneously achieved. Secondly, the study of shallow ridge soa and their comparison with buried soa show the advantages of BRS soa to realize an integrated SOA-PIN. The design of the integrated component is then presented and its technology is described. Finally, the SOA-PIN characterization demonstrates simultaneously a high responsivity 88 A/W), a low polarization dependence (<1 dB), a low noise factor (8. 5 dB) and a wide 3-dB bandwidth (≈65 ghz), which put our components at the best state of the art level. Simulations show our receivers would present a 40 Gbit/s sensivity improved by 2 dB as compared to competitors which demonstrate receivers with high noise factor soa. At 100 Gbit/s, the soa-pin would reach a high sensitivity of -18 dbm

Full textThis work deals with a behavioral modeling technique for amplifier used in RF front ends of communication systems. The aim of the proposed modeling approach is to characterize and integrate efficiently the long and short term non linear memory effects which are present in solid state amplifier. The proposed model consists on a combination in a modulation form of two low pass equivalent transfer function derived from dynamic Volterra series. The potentiality of the model are evaluated by a comparison between system level and circuit level simulations. In order to validate the new Volterra model by experimental way, an amplifier modeling by using time domain envelope set up is presented

Full textRadar applications require more performances in terms of high efficiency, wideband and output power in order to minimize power consumption, system size and cooling. Henceforth, HEMT GaN transistor is the most suitable technology for high power requirements of radar applications in S-Band. The aim of this thesis is to propose a new methodology for power bar packaging in order to overcome usual design techniques that limit both efficiency and wideband performances. Thus, a package design was optimized to obtain an optimal behaviour of the HEMT GaN power bar and to ensure high efficiency on wide bandwidth. Optimized packaged power bars were realized demonstrating 60% PAE with 50 W output power on 25% bandwidth in S-band (around 3. 2 GHz). The robustness of these amplifiers was highlighted. They can withstand very high SWR at the harmonic frequencies without any change in performance. Moreover, dimensions of these optimized packaged power bars are lower than 0. 7 cm²

Full textWireless transmission systems are very popular and develop quickly. The demand is very keen to increase data rates and quality of service whereas the networks densify. In this context where the spectral resources are limited, space-time codes (ST) offer great upgrading capabilities. ST coding makes it possible to increase throughput, while slackening the constraints on the compromise between power of emission and error rate. In the first part of this thesis, techniques of coherent ST coding and decoding were applied to wireless local area networks (WLAN) like WIFI. A 2 transmit and 2 receive antennas demonstrator has been implemented on FPGA boards. This 2x2 MIMO solution is based on IEEE 802. 11A standard. The second part deals with non coherent ST coding, where the channel coefficients are unknown at the transmitter and at the receiver. A nex family of not coherent ST codes using frequency modulations is proposed. This MIMO solution allows, for example, to improve significantly the performances of bluetooth systems

Full textThis report is dedicated to the design of several types of high gain antennas in the millimetre-length domain and more exactly near 40 GHz. Moreover, these antennas can have a broad bandwidth when applications are bound to criteria of high speed data rate. They also have to be cheap and not cumbersome for mass media production. The first detailed application is a square patch (fed and the corner) printed array antenna. It allows to obtain a high gain on a narrow frequency band and two particular radiation patterns (by feeding two sub-arrays in phase or in opposition phase through a hybrid ring, which have led to studies and realization). A feasibility study of the same system in a photonic band gap planar antenna version shows convincing results. Afterward, within the framework of an European project, high gain and broadband sytems are adapted or designed for mass media applications (L. M. D. S. ). Requiring high speed data rate (interactive digital television, high speed data rate Internet). Associations of antennas bring to answer these criteria simultaneously. So, an existing system consisted of a dielectric lens antennas lens excited by a patch array antenna is adapted to our requirements. Then, the design and the experimental validation of a dielectric PBG planar antenna lead to a new association with the lens antenna. The technological aspects met with the realizations in the millimetre-length band were described for each antenna. The theoretical dimensioning of the presented structures was realised with a calculation code using the Finite Difference in Temporal Domain method (F. D. T. D. )

Full textThe growth continually demand of higher data rates in recent decades, supported by the deployment of optical networks allowing a flow of the order of several Gbit/s naturally leads to application development interest on 60 GHz local networks. Standards such as IEEE IEEE 802.15.3c and 802.11ad for millimeter-band wireless transmission have been proposed. At such frequencies, the free space loss is very high and the radio waves do not penetrate walls. The radio over fiber links (RoF), used as optical link from one room to another and enable the distribution of high-speed signals throughout the home or throughout the building, overcoming the failure for low distance free space propagation. Access, by modeling the electrical equivalent of each component of the system considered circuits, simulation of the RoF systems enables optimization of the system in terms of transmission quality. Thus, the optical and electrical characteristics of components of RoF systems are studied and analyzed together which offers the possibility of designing integrated photonic-RF circuits. This thesis concerns the study and simulation of RoF links using electrical equivalent circuits of photonic components. This study is intended for wireless applications at 60 GHz of bandwidth for a high transmission rate. The modulation technique of direct or external intensity and direct detection is preferred at an intermediate frequency in order to ensure simplicity and low cost of the system. The radio signal is then transposed onto a carrier in the band 60 GHz. First, to validate the models developed electrical equivalent circuit, the measured characteristics of optoelectronic components are compared with simulation results. Then, the characterization study is conducted to the scale by analysis of analog parameters such as gain, noise and non-linearity. The dynamics of different RoF links can thus be determined. Transmitting OFDM complex digital signal is finally achieved by a method of digital / analog co-simulation. The transmission quality has been studied by evaluation of the magnitude of the error vector (EVM) constellations digital signals. The study is conducted and validated as a first step in accordance with the ECMA-368 standard dedicated to the centimetric band and then spread to the millimeter band from IEEE 802.15.3c standard. Finally, the channel effect in free space at 60 GHz is considered to analyze the transmission end to end

Full textPower amplifier is one of the most critical element within radiocommunications systems. The PA is their main source of nonlinearities and it has a great contribution on the emitter's power consumption. Running the PA with highest power efficiency is thus as crucial as having it linear for a good communication quality. However these two specifications of the PA are antagonistic and PA manifacturers need to find a compromise between linearity and power efficiency. Digital Predistortion (DPD) and Crest factor Reduction techniques are intended to improve power efficiency while preserving linearity or inversely. Linearization of wideband RF power amplifiers using Digital Predistortion is the focus of this thesis. Three DPD issues are investigated in these works. The first issue deals with multiband linearization where signals with various waveforms located at different frequency bands are amplified. The second objective of this thesis is to study a concurrent DPD/CFR systems based on an automatic estimation of the necessary CFR gain. The last part of this dissertation deals with PA linearization under antenna load variations. Indeed, the impedance of antenna may vary because of electromagnetic objects that are present in its vicinity. Those impedance variations may instigate signal reflections toward the PA, that modify some of its main specifications (linearity, delivered power and efficiency). Our goal in this field is to preserve DPD linearization performances under antenna load mismatch

Full textLa pertinence d'un modèle de canal MIMO dépend donc de sa capacité à traduire le degré de corrélation dans le canal. Différents types de modèles de canal MIMO sont présentés dans ce mémoire: les modèles déterministes et les modèles stochastiques. Nous insistons plus particulièrement sur les principes de' construction des modèles stochastiques parce qu'ils ne demandent pas une description de l'environnement et qu'ils sont simples d'utilisation. Ils sont fondés sur le calcul de la corrélation dans le canal. Ces modèles de canal sont comparés à partir de mesures réalisées dans différents environnements, un tunnel de métro et deux environnements "indoor". L'influence des différents environnements sur la capacité d'un canal MIMO est présentée. Il ressort de cette comparaison que les modèles qui décrivent le mieux le comportement du canal MIMO quel que soit l'environnement sont ceux qui reposent sur la matrice de covariance du canal qui permet de prendre en compte de façon intrinsèque à la fois la puissance et la phase des coefficients du canal. La transmission d'un flux vidéo issu d'un système de vidéo surveillance à l'intérieur d'un bus vers un poste de contrôle distant est simulée sous Matlab. Les différents algorithmes implémentés sont décrits et nous rappelons leurs performances. Le meilleur modèle de canal identifié est appliqué sur des mesures réalisées en environnement semi-urbain. Nous montrons le gain apporté par les systèmes MIMO sur les débits ou la robustesse de la liaison sans fil et l'influence des caractéristiques du canal de propagation sur les performances

Full textWe have seen recently a great interest in high data rate (>100 Mbit s-1) indoor Local Area Networks combining ad hoc and more traditional networks. However, at 60GHz in a confined environment, theses networks pose issues due to multipath effects and fadings. One solution to combat effectively against these problems is the development of band beam agility antenna based RF-MEMS. In this context, the objective of this thesis was to make and to use jointly the performances of fabricated capacitve RF-MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical System) switches and new antenna structures. However, the maturity of these RF MEMS devices is not yet realised, and problems related to the dielectric reliability or mechanical reliability are unsolved. Thus, in order to improve their lifetime, this study focuses at first on optimizing the mechanical stress of membranes and understanding the properties of various films of hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitrides SiNx : H, elaborated by employing plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposited (PECVD) techniques evaluated through optical, structural and electrical experimental results. The second part of this work concerns the design, fabrication and characterization of new antennas millimeter wave excited by a coplanar line CPWFA (CPW Fed Aperture). The design of the radiating element suspended on packaging Level 0 allows in particular RF MEMS to ensure a good behaviour in a real environment. These antennas, developed on a process “Wafer Scale Packaging” propose, an excellent performance in terms of efficiency (>80%), polarization (circular,linear or mixed) and also overall wafer-level packaging at low cost. These systems fabricated on high resistivity (HR) GaAs substrate for a compatible monolithic integration of an “above IC” type process offers great potential for many telecommunications applications and others e.g. non distructive testing (NDT)

Full textMetamorphic HEMT, regarding its performances, appears very promising for amplification applications for the transmitter and receiver modules of long distance and high bit rate (50 Gbit/s) optical systems of telecommunications. Indeed, it presents good performances in term ofbandwidth (Ft∼160 GHz), ofbreakdown voltage (8 V) and allows possibilities of effective gain control. This research bas been developed within the framework of project RNRT HEMERODE. First, it consisted in studying, experimentally, the misfunctioning (parasitic effects) related to the operation of the MHEMT on the whole of the structures available. An impact ionisation mechanism, which contributes to the kink effect and influences the breakdown areas of the transistors because of excess gate current, was observed. A comparison of the results according to the structure (simple or double channel) and of the gate recess was reported. The "on-state" and "off-state" breakdown voltages were measured and appear to be weak, because of the strong influence of the impact ionization mechanism. The MHEMT were also evaluated in term of trapping/detrapping mechanisms. Measurements of gate-lag and drain- lag highlighted the presence of traps of which typical signatures of AlInAs were found by isothermal drain current relaxation experiments under gate filling pulses. Then we modelled the various parasitic effects (excess gate current, kink effect, gate-lag and drain-lag) obtained by experimental measurements and security area model of the transistors was defmed. These models were developed using ADS® software

Full textTo be able to reach a bit rate higher than 100Mb/s with 4G systems and to multiply by 20 the energy efficiency of future 5G networks, all the propagation channel richness must be exploited. This innovative research area dealing with the physical layer optimization is based on the multidimensional channel characterization in "real time". This concept of “real time” means that space, time, frequency and polarimetric dimensions are explored simultaneously to ensure stationarity conditions of the channel during measurements. The channel sounder, subject of the thesis, must also be able to adapt to different scenarios of propagation, including a context of high mobility as, for example, in the case of a communication between high-speed trains. The system that has been developed, based on programmable digital components, allows measuring in a 80Mz bandwidth, 128 transfer functions associated with a (8,16) MIMO channel in less than a few tens of µs and without post-processing. The duration of the transmitted signal is 150 µs. Another originality of this sounder is its easy reconfigurability and its multi-function ability. For example, for studying cyber security of wireless communications, it would play the role of communication system, interference source and channel sounder. In the frame of localization of people in forest owing to their mobile phone, results of channel characterization conducted with the sounder placed either on the ground, or in an ULM, are also described and analyzed

Full textThe main focus of this thesis is to highlight the importance of PHY abstraction for the system level evaluations in the framework of 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks. This thesis presents a pragmatic approach towards the use of PHY abstraction in LTE based system level simulators. PHY abstraction is an extremely valuable low complexity tool for efficient and realistic large scale system evaluations. This thesis shows that apart from the primary purpose of PHY abstraction of providing instantaneous link quality indicator for the purpose of system level evaluations, it can be further used for an improved channel quality indicator (CQI) feedback based on the different antenna configurations and for the performance prediction of LTE networks based on the real life channel measurements. This thesis is mainly divided into two parts; methodologies and applications. The first part presents the complete design and validation methodology of PHY abstraction schemes for various antennaconfigurations corresponding to different transmission modes in LTE. The validation is performed using link level simulators and it also highlights the calibration issues necessary for the PHY abstraction to be accurate in predicting the performance of capacity achieving turbo codes

Full textThis thesis deals with the analysis and design of Low phase Noise Local-Oscillator(LO) sources suitable for backhauling applications on the frequencies 30-38GHz. The LO is intended to be used in a low-IF architecture for low order modulations (2-3 bits/symbol). This work was developed in collaboration with NXP Semiconductorsat CAEN, France, within the project RF2THz of the European program CATRENE.The original contributions in this work include a rigorous study of the 1/f2 phasenoise characteristics of the VCO (bipolar cross-coupled pair Voltage-Controlled-Oscillator) with the oscillating frequency. Key factors in the design of VCOs such as tuning range and the tank load given by the cross-coupled pair are considered in the analysis. The study reveals that as the frequency scales, the VCO passes through two different zones, named the QL-limited and the QC-limited region, that results from the dependence of the resonator quality factor on its inductive part (for low oscillating frequencies) and its capacitive part (for high oscillating frequencies). Moreover, the impact of the tuning range on the 1/f2 phase noise evolution was captured by using a classical circuit based on an AC-coupled varactor and a MiM capacitor. Simple and accurate equations were derived for the circuit parameters in order to achieve a desired central frequency with the required capacitance variation. For this circuit, it is demonstrated (and verified through circuit simulations) that the lowest quality factor scenario can be associated to the time-constant of a lossy capacitor. The latter allows to estimate easily the minimum quality factor of the capacitive part of the VCO LC tank, for a given tuning range, as a function of the oscillating frequency. In a similar way, and based on a small signal analysis, the time-constant of the output capacitance of the bipolar cross-coupled pair was derived. Interesting, this time constant shows a constant behavior over a wide frequency range, thereby allowing to estimate easily its quality factor. This study set the bases for an analytical framework that enables the evaluation of the 1/f2 phase noise performances of local oscillator sources working either on fundamental,super-harmonic or sub-harmonic mode. The superiority in terms of 1/f2 phase noise of local oscillators based on sub-harmonic oscillators is thus demonstrated and simple equations are derived to determine the maximum performance and the conditions on which this can be achieved. Finally, a signal generation system intended for a low-IF point-to-point fixed radio system in the Ka-Band band is thus designed and verified through prototype measurements.The system is composed by a sub-harmonic VCO followed by an injectionlocked frequency tripler (ILFT) and it is designed in a 0.25m BiCMOS SiGe:C technology. The ILFT implements a cascode current-biased common emitter configuration that exploits the second harmonic of the VCO to enhance the efficiency in the generation of the injecting signal responsible for the ILFT locking. At 30.8GHz, the system achieves a phase noise of -112dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset. The total current consumption is 38mA for a supply voltage of 2.5V. A second prototype is designed for a multiband LO generation, providing thus three RF outputs at 18GHz, 34GHz and 68GHz. With a measured tuning range of 10% for each RF output, the measured phase noise at 1MHz is -113dBc/Hz, -107dBc/Hz and -100dBc/Hz respectively

Full textMobile communication systems allow exploring information in complex environments by means of portable devices, whose main restriction is battery life. Once battery development does not follow market expectations, several efforts have been made in order to reduce energy consumption of those systems. Furthermore, radio-frequency systems are generally designed to operate as fixed circuits, specified for RF link worst-case scenario. However, this scenario may occur in a small amount of time, leading to energy waste in the remaining periods. The research of adaptive radio-frequency circuits and systems, which can configure themselves in response to input signal level in order to reduce power consumption, is of interest and importance. In a RF receiver chain, Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) stand as critical elements, both on the chain performance or power consumption. In the past some techniques for reconfigurable LNA design were proposed and applied. Nevertheless, the majority of them are applied to gain control, ignoring the possibility of linearity and noise figure adjustment, in order to save power. In addition, those circuits consume great area, resulting in high production costs, or they do not scale well with CMOS. The goal of this work is demonstrate the feasibility and advantages in using a digitally controlled LNA in a receiver chain in order to save area and power
Os sistemas de comunicação móveis permitem a exploração da informação em ambientes complexos através dos dispositivos portáteis que possuem como principal restrição a duração de suas baterias. Como o desenvolvimento da tecnologia de baterias não ocorre na velocidade esperada pelo mercado, muitos esforços se voltam à redução do consumo de energia dos circuitos eletrônicos destes sistemas. Além disso, os sistemas de radiofrequência são em geral projetados para funcionarem de forma fixa, especificados para o cenário de pior caso do link de comunicação. No entanto, este cenário pode ocorrer em uma pequena porção de tempo, resultando assim no restante do tempo em desperdício de energia. A investigação de sistemas e circuitos de radiofrequência adaptativos, que se ajustem ao nível de sinal de entrada a fim de reduzir o consumo de energia é assim de grande interesse e importância. Dentro de cadeia de recepção de radiofrequência, os Amplificadores de Baixo Ruído (LNA) se destacam como elementos críticos, tanto para o desempenho da cadeia como para o consumo de potência. No passado algumas técnicas para o projeto de LNA reconfiguráveis foram propostas e aplicadas. Contudo, a maioria delas só se aplica ao controle do ganho, deixando de explorar o ajuste da linearidade e da figura de ruído com fins de economia de energia. Além disso, estes circuitos ocupam grande área de silício, resultando em alto custo, ou então não se adaptam as novas tecnologias CMOS de baixo custo. O objetivo deste trabalho é demonstrar a viabilidade e as vantagens do uso de um LNA digitalmente configurável em uma cadeia de recepção de radiofrequência do ponto de vista de custo e consumo de potência
