New three‐phase demodulator circuit operating in a wide frequency range

This article describes a new design of a Three-Phased Demodulator circuit (TPD) using microstrip technology on FR4 dielectric substrate. The results of frequency transposition to baseband of three aggregated radio frequency signals position TPD as a potential candidate for future LTE-A mobile communication networks. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
