We present and demonstrate a simple method of generating 40-GHz repetition-rate pulse trains from a rational harmonic modelocked semiconductor fiber-ring laser with 5-GHz dual-driving signal by using pulse-amplitude equalization. By adjusting the voltages applied to both arms of the modulator pulse trains with an eight-times repetition rate are equalized in their amplitudes.ABSTRACT: A delta-sigma modulated Class-E power amplifier is proposed and experimentally developed for high-efficiency linear applications. The essential idea is based on the envelope delta-sigma modulation (EDSM), which combines the Kahn technique, envelope elimination and restoration (EER), with the Delta-Sigma modulated-amplifier concept. The scheme increases the efficiency of the circuit by digitalizing the envelope of the signal instead of the original RF signal.
