Amplificador de potencia Doherty de 25 W, 70% de eficiencia y back off de salida de 6 dB para aplicaciones a 2,4 GHz, con control de VGS, PEAK
This paper shows the design and simulation
results of a hybrid Doherty power amplifier. The
amplifier has been designed at 2,4 GHz, obtaining power-added
efficiency above 70 % for 6 dB output power
back-off, together with a small signal gain of 17 dB.
Design and analysis equations are presented considering
class AB bias conditions for the main amplifier
and class C for the peak one in back-off larger than 6
dB, and FET device assumption. An additional control
on the bias point of the peak device has been carried
out, in order to increase the gain on the Doherty region
and ease the design of the peak branch. A Cree’s
GaN-HEMT CGH40010F device has been used with a
nonlinear model guarantied up to 6 GHz and with an
expected output power of 10 W. The obtained output
power is higher than 25-W. The simulation has been
carried out using Agilent ADS CAD tools. The present
design could present the state of the art in terms of
continuous-wave (CW) characterization.Este artículo muestra el diseño y los resultados

Caracterización experimental de las pérdidas de propagación en comunicaciones vehiculares a 700 MHz y 5,9 GHz
En esta Tesis Doctoral se realiza una caracterización experimental de las
pérdidas de propagación del canal radio vehicular basada en una extensa
campaña de medidas realizada en diferentes escenarios de propagación, todos
ellos potenciales entornos de comunicaciones vehiculares. Se han realizado
medidas en escenarios urbanos, suburbanos, rurales y de autovía, con
condiciones reales de tráfico rodado, diferentes densidades de vehículos y
condiciones de propagación. La sonda de canal empleada en las medidas ha
sido diseñada e implementada con el propósito de realizar una caracterización
en banda estrecha permitiendo analizar el efecto de las pérdidas de
propagación y desvanecimiento multicamino. Las medidas se han realizado en
la banda DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range Communications) a 5,9 GHz,
adoptada en EEUU y Europa para comunicaciones vehiculares, y en la banda
de 700 MHz propuesta por Japón para este tipo de comunicaciones. En este
sentido, los resultados mostrados en esta Tesis Doctoral a 700 MHz son los
primeros realizados en esta banda de frecuencia.
Se han propuesto diferentes métodos de análisis de las medidas realizadas,
permitiendo un extenso estudio de los parámetros que caracterizan las
pérdidas de propagación. Se ha analizado el canal radio vehículo a vehículo
(V2V, Vehicular-to-Vehicular) y el canal vehículo a infraestructura (V2I,
Vehicular-to-Infrastructure), estableciendo un modelo lineal entre las pérdidas
de propagación y el logaritmo de la distancia entre el transmisor y receptor. Se
trata de un modelo sencillo, pero bastante exacto, que permite una fácil
implementación en simuladores de redes vehiculares. A diferencia de otros
trabajos previos, que solamente analizan valores medios de los parámetros del
modelo de pérdidas, en esta tesis se presentan resultados que permiten
conocer el rango de variación de dichos parámetros En la investigación
realizada se ha analizado el impacto que las condiciones de propagación, en lo
que respecta a línea de visión directa y obstrucción de la misma, tienen sobre
el comportamiento de la atenuación introducida por el canal radio.
Los resultados derivados de esta Tesis Doctoral pueden ser utilizados el diseño
y evaluación de protocolos de comunicación bajo condiciones de propagación
próximas a la realidad, así como en el diseño y planificación de las futuras
redes vehiculares.Fernández González, HA. (2014). Caracterización experimental de las pérdidas de propagación en comunicaciones vehiculares a 700 MHz y 5,9 GHz [Tesis doctoral no publicada]. Universitat Politècnica de València. https://doi.org/10.4995/Thesis/10251/40370TESI

Dam removal Europe: refuting myths and supporting professionals
The removal of dams and weirs has been happening for decades. Since the 90’s a few countries have increased this tendency. USA has already removed at least 1,300 dams. What very few people know is that in Europe there have been over 3,500 barriers demolished already.
In some European countries, like France, Sweden, Spain, Finland and UK dams are mainly being removed due to existing legislation, safety and security, the need to reach a good ecological status of their rivers for the Water Frame Directive and/or economical reasons. However, the lack of awareness, knowledge, support by decision makers and funding for dam removal are generally bottlenecks and most of the times is the cause of many dam removal failures. In addition, the Renewable Energy Directive requires the EU countries to fulfil at least 20% of its total energy needs with renewables by 2020, and amongst these renewables is hydropower. All this makes dam removal projects tremendously difficult to those who are willing to start removing old and useless dams, and automatically makes dam removal an uncomfortable subject to bring up for politicians.
Europe requires a shift towards adaptive management of stream barriers, one that maximizes benefits and minimizes impacts, one that keeps efficient dams and removes obsolete and abandoned dams. The goals of Dam Removal Europe (www.damremoval.eu) are to improve citizens’ awareness about removing dams and refute myths, create a reference community of professionals, experts and starters, who generates and shares knowledge about dam removal and putting dam removal on the agenda of policy makers, directors and managers

Path loss characterization for vehicular communications at 700 MHz and 5.9 GHz under LOS and NLOS conditions
In this letter, we present a path loss characterization of the vehicular-to-vehicular (V2V) propagation channel. We have assumed a path loss model suitable for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) simulators. We have investigated the value of the model parameters, categorizing in line-of-sight (LOS) and non-LOS (NLOS) paths. The model parameters have been derived from extensive narrowband channel measurements at 700 MHz and 5.9 GHz. The measurements have been collected in typical expected V2V communications scenarios, i.e., urban, suburban, rural, and highway, for different road traffic densities, speeds, and driven conditions. The results reported here can be used to simulate and design the future vehicular networks.Fernández González, HA.; Rubio Arjona, L.; Rodrigo Peñarrocha, VM.; Reig, J. (2014).

Experimental Rician K-factor characterization in a laboratory environment at the 25 to 40 GHz frequency band
[EN] In this work, an analysis of the Rician K-factor in a laboratory environment from 25 to 40 GHz has been carried out. The variation of the estimated K-factor has been assessed in frequency from a channel measurements campaign in both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-LOS (NLOS) conditions. Mean values of the K-factor ranging from 0.48 to 3.43 dB for LOS conditions, and from -5.54 to -0.56 dB for NLOS conditions, have been derived. The results reported here enable us to get insight into the propagation channel characteristics and can be of interest to evaluate the performance of fifth-generation (5G) networks in laboratory environments.This work has been funded in part by the Spanish Ministerio de Economia, Industria y Competitividad under the project TEC2017-86779-C2-2-R, and by COLCIENCIAS in Colombia.Bernardo-Clemente, B.; Fernández, H.; Rodrigo Peñarrocha, VM.; Reig, J.; Rubio Arjona, L.

Analysis of Small-Scale Fading Distributions in Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications
[EN] This work analyzes the characteristics of the small-scale fading distribution in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) channels. The analysis is based on a narrowband channelmeasurements campaign at 5.9GHz designed specifically for that purpose.Themeasurements were carried out in highway and urban environments around the city of Valencia, Spain.Theexperimental distribution of the small-scale
fading is compared to several analytical distributions traditionally used to model the fast fading in wireless communications, such as Rayleigh, Nakagami-𝑚,Weibull, Rice, and 𝛼-𝜇 distributions. The parameters of the distributions are derived through statistical inference techniques and their goodness-of-fit is evaluated using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test. Our results show that the 𝛼-𝜇 distribution exhibits a better fit compared to the other distributions, making its use interesting to model the small-scale fading in V2V channels.This work has been funded in part by the Programa Estatal de Fomento de la Investigacion Cientifica y Tecnica de Excelencia del Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad, Spain, TEC2013-47360-C3-3-P, and the Departamento Administrativo de Ciencia, Tecnologia e Innovacion COLCIENCIAS en Colombia.Rodrigo Peñarrocha, VM.; Reig, J.; Rubio Arjona, L.; Fernández González, HA.; Loredo, S.
