Research abstract
To achieve major networking advantages of multibeam operation enabled by digital array communication technology, power amplifiers that do not generate unacceptably high levels of nonlinear interfering effects are desirable. Over the years, CPFSK has been studied as a robust modulation scheme under harsh channel condition. Here in this project, Continuous Phase Frequency Shift Keying (CPFSK) modulation scheme has been suggested along with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) to transmit M-ary 4 simultaneous signal located in C band (4 GHz to 8 GHz). The amplifier should provide peak output power of 36 dBm-46 dBm and should be selectable in 2 dB steps. The requirement for PAE (Power Added Efficiency) is 55% or more and the power gain is 45dB.
