Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 147, 27-37, 2024
Abstract
An effective empirical method of EMI analysis for transceiver (Tx-Rx) system implemented with nonlinear (NL) microwave power amplifier (MPA) dedicated to wireless communication is developed. The nonlinearity is experimentally quantified by the MPA gain, P1dB and third order intermodulation component via spectral response around 2.4 GHz 802.11b IEEE frequency band. The proof-of-concept represents the Tx-Rx system environment for wireless communication. The considered test signal emulates synchronization and physical broadcast different channels of downlink communication signals under QPSK modulation. The error vector magnitude (EVM) and signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) due to the microwave Tx-Rx transmission undesirable EMI effect are assessed. Without MPA, the EVM and SNR of various channels fluctuate within a small range. Because of MPA nonlinearity, EMI becomes awfully significant due to the intermodulation generating SNR 20-dB decrease.
