Ultra-wideband balanced schottky envelope detector for data communication with high bitrate to carrier frequency ratio

Abstract: This paper reports on an ultra-wideband (UWB) Schottky diode based balanced envelope detector for the L-, S-, C-and X-bands. The proposed circuit consists of a balun that splits the input signal into two 180º out of phase signals, a balanced detector, that demodulates the two signals, a low pass filter that rejects the second harmonic spurious from the Schottky diode and a bias tee that selects the optimum rectification point. The manufactured prototype is able to demodulate error free a 4 Gbps amplitude shift… Show more

“…Rectification of the input voltage produces current terms including the recovered baseband signal together with undesired higher-order mixing terms [9]. Assuming a balanced input signal and well matched diodes, odd-order mixing terms are cancelled in a balanced rectifier [10], while even-order terms can be removed by filtering.…”

“…They take advantage of the same process performed by heterodyne mixers. EDs do not depend on local oscillators (LO) to make the beats of RF signals to the frequency baseband, they are simpler devices, but there is the inconvenience of having low sensitivity and reduction of the basic schemes of demodulation (Granja et al, 2017).…”

“…Using the knowledge developed by MWP, it was sought the development of an envelope detector (ED) that presented a better performance than those implemented by electronics. EDs are devices present in several telecommunication applications, such as wireless communications, electronic warfare, and radar processing (Adamy, 2006;Granja et al, 2017). There are processes aimed at reducing energy consumption, low volume, weight, and increasing radio frequency bandwidth (Viswanathan et al, 2018).…”

“…There are various techniques available in the open literature to employ this con guration, for example balun, rat-race hybrid coupler, branch line coupler and power divider. In [3][4], an ultra-wideband balun is used for balanced con guration of the detector circuit.…”
