Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for balanced power amplification are provided to offer a 90-degree hybrid splitter and a 90-degree hybrid combiner using at least one quarter-wave transmission line, thereby improving the efficiency of wireless power transmission. CONSTITUTION: An amplifier (600) comprises a 90-degree hybrid splitter (620), a first power amplifier (PA) (630), a second PA (640), and a 90-degree hybrid combiner (650). The 90-degree hybrid splitter divides an input signal into a first PA input signal and a second PA input signal which have 90-degree phase difference. The first PA amplifies the first PA input signal to generate a first PA output signal. The second PA amplifies the second PA input signal to generate a second PA output signal. The 90-degree hybrid combiner combines the first and second output signals having 90-degree phase difference of to generate an output signal. [Reference numerals] (AA) First PA input signal; (BB) First PA output signal; (CC) Output signal; (DD) Input signal; (EE) Second PA input signal; (FF) Second PA output signal

PURPOSE: A multi-band antenna with multi-layers is provided to reduce the size of the antenna by piling up multi-layers having different dielectric permittivity. CONSTITUTION: A multi-band antenna with multi-layers comprises a power supply unit, a lower substrate(100), a middle substrate(200), and an upper substrate. The lower substrate touches the power supply unit and has first antenna patterns. The middle substrate is loaded on the lower substrate and has a space filled with air. The third substrate is loaded on the middle substrate and has second antenna patterns. The bandwidth of the antenna is changed depending on the thickness of the middle substrate.

PURPOSE: An RFID reader is provided to improve the signal receiving sensitivity by reducing noise of AC power which is reflected in a signal receiving mode. CONSTITUTION: A control unit(21) performs overall operation control. An oscillation unit(25) generates oscillation signals in different phase. A transmission unit(221) transmits the transmission signal from control unit to the RFID tag. A reception unit(261) inputs the received signal from the RFID tag to the control unit. Therefore, the signal sensitivity is improved by reducing noise of AC power which is reflected in signal receiving mode.

PURPOSE: A predistortion linearizer is provided to reduce the size of a non-linear power amplifier by increasing the integration of a circuit. CONSTITUTION: A serial predistortion linearization system(201) improves the linearity of a nonlinear amplifier by generating a signal which has the same size of a distortion signal while having the opposite phase to the distortion signal. A first resistor(202) is connected between the input terminal and the output terminal of the serial predistortion linearization system. A second resistor(203) is interposed between the input terminal of the input terminal of the serial predistortion linearization system and the ground. A third resistor(204) is installed between the output terminal and the ground of the serial predistortion linearization system. A power amplifier(205) is a nonlinear amplifier connected to the output terminal of the serial predistortion linearization system.

PURPOSE: A dynamic bias supply device with multiple switches is provided to remove unnecessary performance degradation due to an additional connection structure by including a plurality of switching units corresponding to a plurality of parallel power amplifiers. CONSTITUTION: A plurality of power amplifiers(432,442) share an envelop signal processor(412). An envelop signal processor generates a dynamic signal with a signal level suitable for a switching unit(414,450) according to the received envelop signal. The envelop signal processor provides a dynamic signal to each switching unit. A line(430,440) is connected between the switching unit and the power amplifier to supply the bias to the power amplifier from the switching unit.
