In this paper, we represent considering parameters for design of a Cartesian vector modulator predistorter to maximize linearity improvement of the predistorter and propose an advanced Cartesian vector modulator predistrotrer with nonlinear starting point control circuit. In order to confirm the performance of the proposed predistorter, the predistorter is applied to power amplifier with 15 W output power for 2.5 GHz band mobile WiMax 1-FA signal. From the measured results, ACLR of -45.3 dBc with 4 dB improvement of ALCR compared with the previous predistorter is obtained and linearity improvement range is also extended.

In this paper, new type of finite element models for the analysis of nonlinear beam bending are developed by using unconventional residual minimizing method to increase accuracy of finite element solutions and overcome some of computational drawbacks. Developing procedures of the new models are presented along with the comparison of the numerical results of existing beam bending models.

A mixed finite element model was developed using the classical plate theory to analyze the nonlinear bending of a plate. The appropriate weight functions for the constraints integrated over the domain were determined by the Lagrange multiplier method by using the principle of minimum virtual energy; which provides the constitutive relations between force-like variables and strains. All of detail terms of element wise coefficient matrices and associate tangent matrices to be used in the Newton iterative method are presented. Then, the linear solutions of the current model and those of the traditional displacement model under the SS (simple support) boundary conditions were compared with the existing analytical solution. The post-processed images of the nonlinear results of the force-like variables are presented to show the continuity of the solutions at the joint of the element boundaries. Finally, the converged nonlinear finite element solutions of the current model are compared with those of existing traditional displacement model.

In this paper, a new dynamic model for modal analysis of a rotating cantilever beam with a tip-mass is developed. The nonlinear strain such as von Karman type and the corresponding linearized stress are used to consider the geometric nonlinearity, and Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is applied in the present model. The nonlinear equations of motion and the associated boundary conditions which include the inertia of the tip-mass are derived through Hamilton's principle. In order to investigate modal characteristics of the present model, the linearized equations of motion in the neighborhood of the equilibrium position are obtained by using perturbation technique to the nonlinear equations. Since the effect of the tip-mass is considered to the boundary condition of the flexible beam, weak forms are used to discretize the linearized equations. Compared with equations related to stiffening effect due to centrifugal force of the present and the previous model, the present model predicts the dynamic characteristic more precisely than the another model. As a result, the difference of natural frequencies loci between two models become larger as the rotating speed increases. In addition, we observed that the mode veering phenomenon occurs at the certain rotating speed.
