IPC: H03F3/189
Filed: 2001-02-14
Abstract: A carrier cancellation combiner, and pre-distortion and feed-forward loops of an RF power amplifier are controlled to minimize IMD components at the output of the RF amplifier, by a spectral distortion measurement scheme that performs Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)-based spectral power measurements at a "reference' signal port (associated with the RF input signal), and a plurality of "test' signal ports (associated with various monitoring locations of the amplifier). Signals extracted from the control and test ports are downconverted to baseband, bandpass filtered, digitized and stored as a spectral "snapshot' of the entire band of the signal infrastructure of the amplifier. A digital signal processor-based controller processes the buffered data to produce averaged FFT's of the data extracted from the reference and test ports and thereby provide spectral information for each sampled signal set. The FFT for the control data is processed to establish a baseline, with which the FFTs for the test data are compared, to generate adjustment signals for control parameters through which IMD components introduced by the amplifier may be minimized.

Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical switching element which can secure superior optical switching performance and its manufacturing method.  <P>SOLUTION: A displacement plate 3 and a support 5 are designed as independent bodies, so the displacement plate 3 can be formed independently of the support 5. In concrete, the support 5 (support parts 5R and 5L) is so formed as to constitute a flat surface M together with a sacrifice film 13, and then the displacement plate 3 is formed on the flat surface M. The flat surface M stably supports the displacement plate 3, so the displacement plate 3 can be formed flatly without being strained owing to a dynamical load in the formation. Further, the displacement plate 3 has sufficient tension, so the flat state of the displacement plate 3 is maintained even after an air gap is formed by removing the sacrifice film. Thus, trouble due to the strain of the displacement plate 3 is suppressed and the reproducibility of a reflection factor is secured, so the optical switching element with superior optical switching performance can be formed.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
