A differential six-port demodulator for the 7-8 GHz band is reported for the first time. It is composed of a differential six-port correlator on the two sides of the substrate and zero-bias antiparallel Schottky diodes acting as power detectors. It is theoretically analyzed and also simulated. A prototype has been fabricated and data transmission at 0.8 Gbit/s (but not the maximum) with the 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) is experimentally demonstrated.

A differential six-port transceiver for the 7-8 GHz band is presented for the rst time. It is fabricated using double-sided parallel-strip lines. The transmitter is composed of a differential six-port correlator with a quarter wavelength arrangement for carrier suppression. Cold-mode field effect transistors are used as impedance terminations, controlled via baseband signals on the gate to source terminal. The receiver is comprised of a differential six-port correlator and diode detectors. The diodes on the front-side and the back-side are connected in antiparallel, resulting in a differential input and differential output six-port receiver. The main features of the transceiver are low complexity, low power consumption, and high data rate. Data transmission and reception with the transceiver is demonstrated with quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) and 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM) with 100 and 200 M symbol / s , respectively.

In this article a miniaturized planar antenna is presented for broadband applications. Antenna miniaturization is achieved by modifying the ground plane that creates a different current path thus increasing the effective dimension of the antenna. In addition, dual chopping, slitting, and radiator position offsetting provide wideband behavior and relatively good impedance matching. The low profile antenna with its wide bandwidth, linear phase response and quasi-omnidirectional radiation pattern is attractive for the existing and future communication devices of small size. Simulated and measured results for the proposed antenna are presented and analyzed.

This paper presents a direct carrier six-port modulator. To allow arbitrary load impedances to be used and for suppression of carrier leakage, a new circuit architecture with a technique to suppress carrier leakage is proposed and implemented. A theoretical model of the proposed modulator is derived. A prototype modulator utilizing diodes for impedance generation is designed and fabricated for a center frequency of 7.5 GHz for verification of the proposed technique. Measurements show good modulation properties when a 16 quadrature amplitude modulation signal at 100 Msymbol/s is generated, as well as good carrier leakage suppression.
