Abstract

The design and implementation of a broadband and linear HPA(High Power Amplifier) for TVWS are presented in this paper. The spectrum mask and transmitted power of HPA for TVWS must be controlled and meet the regulations to minimize interference effects on present broadcasting systems. The implemented HPA has the operating frequency of 460 ~ 698MHz with $24.7{\pm}1dB$ gain, input reflection coefficient of below -25dB, output reflection coefficient of below -7.28dB and the linearity of -57.7dBc at 22.2dBm output power.

본 논문에서는 TVWS(TV white space)용 광대역 고선형 전력증폭기의 설계 및 구현에 대해서 기술한다. TVWS용 전력증폭기는 기존의 방송시스템에 미치는 영향을 최소화하기 위해서 방사전력 및 스펙트럼 마스크를 엄격하게 제한해야 한다. 구현한 전력증폭기는 460 ~ 698MHz 대역에서 동작하며, $24.7{\pm}1dB$의 이득, -25dB 이하의 입력반사계수, -7.82dB 이하의 출력반사계수 그리고 22.2dBm 출력전력에서 -57.7dBc의 선형성을 갖는다.
