In this paper, I compared some characteristics between HPA and LPA using Feedforward method. Feedforward method is known for best IMD correction. HPA generated 46.5㏈c at 45.5㏈m output power. But, using feedforward linearing method, I could improve IMD to 67.17㏈c at the same output power. IMD could be improved 20.67㏈ at 45.5㏈m output power. I measured average power, IMD, total current, and efficiency of two amplifier at many different power levels. I could get about 70d3c IMD using feedforward method.

In this paper, a feedforward amplifier with error correction is designed and implemented. This amplifier is composed of operational amplifier, the performance of which is compared with that of the reference amplifier without feedforward error correction. As a result, the sec¬ondary harmonics level is improved about 10 [dB]. Therefore it is shown that the proposed feedforward amplifier network is to be adopted able for wide - band amplifiers.

본 논문에서는 새로운 방식의 아날로그Feedforward 선형화기 시스템을 이용하여 IMT-2000주파수 대역(2110∼2170 MHz)에서 동작하는 평균 출력전력 30W급의 선형증폭기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 새로운 방식의 아날로그 Feedforward 방식의 회로는 크기가 작고, 회로 동작이 단순하여 안정된 동작을 수행하였다. 제작된 선형증폭기는 2110∼2170MHz 대역 중에서 2-tone 신호를 입력할 경우에 주파수 대역에 따른 별도의 회로 수정없이 60dBc 이상의 혼변조 신호 감쇄를 가졌다. 이는 주전력증폭기의 동일한 출력대비 23dB 이상의 혼변조 신호 감쇠 효과를 갖는 것이다.

In grid-connected converter control, grid voltage feedforward is usually introduced to suppress the influence of grid voltage distortion on the converter's grid-side AC current. However, owing to the time-delay in control systems, the suppression effect of the grid voltage distortion is seriously affected. In this paper, the positive effects of the grid voltage feedforward control are analyzed in detail, and the time-delay caused by the low-pass filter (LPF) in the voltage filtering circuits and digital control are summarized. In order to reduce the time-delay effect on the performance of the feedforward control, a voltage feedforward control strategy with time-delay compensation is proposed, in which, a leading correction of the feedforward voltage is used. The optimal leading step used in this strategy is derived from analyzing the phase-frequency characteristics of a LPF and the implementation of digital control. By using the optimal leading step, the delay in the feedforward path can be further counteracted so that the performance of the feedforward control in terms of suppressing the influence of grid voltage distortion on the converter output current can be improved. The validity of the proposed method is verified through simulation and experiment results.

In this paper, PBG structure and feedforward circuit has been used to suppress the phase noise of the oscillator. Microstrip line resonator have low Q, but we can obtain high LO power by feedforward circuit and improve the resonator Q by the PBG, simultaneously. The proposed oscillator which uses PBG and feedforward circuit shows 0${\~}$20 dB phase noise reduction compared to the conventional oscillator. We have obtained -115.8 dBc of phase noise at 100 kHz offset from 2.4 GHz center.

본 논문에서는 feedforward와 post-distortion 기법을 이용하여 평형 증폭기 내에서 발생하는 혼변조 왜곡 성분을 제거할 수 있는 새로운 왜곡 상쇄 메커니즘인 cross post-distortion 선형화 기법을 제안한다. 출력 동적 영역과 대역폭 측면에서 제안하는 선형화 방식은 기존의 feedforward 방식에 뒤지지 않는 성능을 가지고 있으면서 상대적으로 높은 효율을 제공한다. 이론적 뒷받침을 위해 제안하는 시스템과 feedforward 방식의 전력 증폭기와 오차증폭기의 전력 용량을 비교 분석하였고, IMT-2000 대역에서 실제 구현을 통하여 이를 실험적으로 뒷받침하였다. 최대 출력 전력 240 W의 기지국용 상용 대전력 증폭기에 적용했을 때, wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) 4FA 신호에 대하여 평균 출력 전력 40 dBm에서 약 18.6 dB의 개선 효과를 얻었다. 제작된 전력 증폭기는 WCDMA 신호 기준으로 feedforward 방식에 비해 약 2 % 개선된 효율을 보였다.

A passivity-based dynamic output feedback controller design is considered for a finite collection of non-square linear systems. Design of a single controller for a set of plants i.e. simultaneous stabilization is an important issue in the area of robust control design. We first determine a squaring gain matrix and an additional dynamics that is connected to the systems in a feedforward way, then a static passivating control law is designed. Consequently, the actual feedback controller will be the static control law combined with the feedforward dynamics. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the parallel feedforward compensator is given by the static output feedback formulation. In contrast to the previous result [1], a technical condition for constructing the parallel feedforward compensator is removed by proposing a new type of the parallel compensator.

A linear power amplifier is particularly emphasized on the system using a linear modulations, such as 16QAM and QPSK with pulse shaping. because intermodulation distortion which causes adjacent channel interference and co-channel interference is mostly generated in a nonlinear power amplifier. In this paper, parameters of a linearization loop, such as an amplitude imbalance a phase imbalance and a delay mismatch, are briefly analyzed to get a specific cancellation performance and linearization bandwidth. Experimental results are presented for IMT-2000 frequency band. The center frequency of the feedforward amplifier is 2140 MHz with 60 MHz bandwidth. When the average output power of feedforward amplifier is 20 Watt. the intermodulation cancellation performance is more than 21 dB. In this case, the output power of feedforward amplifier reduced 3.5 dB because of extra delay line loss and coupling loss. The feedforward amplifier efficiency is more than 7.2 % for multicarrier signals, 59 dBc for ACPR.

The dynamic response of a multi-MW wind turbine to a sudden change in wind speed is usually slow, because of the slow pitch control system. This could cause a large excursion of the rotor speed and an output power over the rated. A feedforward pitch control can be applied to minimize the fluctuations of these parameters. This paper introduces the complete design steps for a feedforward pitch controller, which consist of three stages, i.e. the aerodynamic torque estimation, the 3-dimensional lookup table for the wind seed estimation, and the calculation of the feedforward pitch amount. The effectiveness of the feedforward control is verified through numerical simulations of a multi-MW wind turbine.
