Passive Intermodulation

Focusing on passive intermodulation (PIM), a common instance of distortion in high-power multi-channel communication systems, the book introduces the concepts and technology of PIM. In the context of "space-ground-object" integrated communication and increasing spectrum resource constraints, the PIM problem is becoming increasingly prominent, while microwave components and system-level PIM are facing new challenges. Based on the experience and achievements in engineering practice of the China Academy of Space Technology in Xi’an, this title describes the basic theory, generation mechanism, analysis and evaluation methods, location detection and suppression techniques for microwave components of spacecraft PIM from a theoretical and engineering perspective. Furthermore, the latest achievements of microwave component PIM are outlined in depth, along with operational guidance and paths for further advancement. This book will be a useful reference for researchers, engineers and students interested in microwave technology, satellite technology and mobile communication technology.

As technologies for wireless communications, including 5G and Internet of Things (IoT), require more complex antennas, practitioners need more information on the best methods to perform measurements on these different types of antennas. This exciting resource provides guidance on the proper design of indoor ranges for RF antenna measurements. The important aspects of specifying the range or resources needed in a development program are explored. Analysis of existing ranges to determine their suitability for performing specific test that a user of the range may require is also introduced. Readers find in-depth coverage of the design of ranges and how to evaluate the error contributions of the range and the best approach to measure a system, antenna, or other radiating hardware. The book provides information on selecting the right range to make a specific type of measurement and understanding for an RF absorber. Matlab scripts are also included to help readers estimate the performance of an RF absorber. Readers will be able to estimate the required space for a given type of measurement, as well as identify what type of range is the better choice, based on physical limitations and economics. Simple rules for the design of an anechoic chamber, based on the required accuracy and parameters to be measured are described. Packed with examples and references, this book is a prime reference for any practitioner that uses or designs facilities for the measurement of electromagnetic energy.

This book describes for readers the entire, interconnected complex of theoretical and practical aspects of designing and organizing the production of various electronic devices, the general and main distinguishing feature of which is the high speed of processing and transmitting of digital signals. The authors discuss all the main stages of design - from the upper system level of the hierarchy (telecommunications system, 5G mobile communications) to the lower level of basic semiconductor elements, printed circuit boards. Since the developers of these devices in practice deal with distorted digital signals that are transmitted against a background of interference, the authors not only explain the physical nature of such effects, but also offer specific solutions as to how to avoid such parasitic effects, even at the design stage of high-speed devices.
