Abstract

This paper describes the Dual-band WLAN transmitter with 2.4[GHz], 5[GHz]. Dual-band WLAN transmitter was designed at 2.4[GHz] and 5[GHz]. The Dual-band WLAN transmitter has a amplifier which operate at 2.4[GHz] and 5[GHz] frequency and two VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) or VCO has a wide scope of frequency. these problem cause a size and a power consumption, The Dual-band WLAN transmitter module was proposed to solve these. the transmitter was designed to get output signals of IEEE 802.11a's 5.8[GHz] band signal using frequency multiplication way or to act a amplifier about the 2.4[GHz] band signal of IEEE 802.11b/g, according to inputed frequency and bias voltage that a eve using single transmission block. The output spectrum get the improved specification of ACPR of 4[dB], 6[dB], 16[dB] at +11[MHz], +20[MHz], +30[MHz] offset of center frequency compared to no linearization, was satisfied to transmit spectrum mask of IEEE 802.11a wireless Lan.

본 논문에서는 2.4[GHz]와 5[GHz]로 동작하는 Dual-band WLAN 송신기의 설계에 대하여 기술한다. Dual-band WLAN 송신기는 2.4[GHz] 대역과 5[GHz] 대역에서 각각 동작할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 이중대역의 구조를 갖는 송신 부는 2.4[GHz] 과 5[GHz] 주파수에서 동작하는 증폭기와 두 개의 VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator)또는 주파수 가변 범위가 매우 넓은 VCO를 사용해야 한다. 이 문제는 크기와 소비전력으로 나타나며, 이를 해결하기 위하여 이중대역 송신 모듈을 제안하였다. 이 송신부는 단일 송신 블럭을 사용하여 입력되는 주파수와 인가하는 바이어스 전압에 따라, IEEE 802.11b/g의 2.4[GHz] 대역신호에 대해서는 증폭기로 동작하고 IEEE로 802.11a의 5.8[GHz] 대역신호는 주파수 체배 방식을 이용하여 출력신호를 얻도록 설계하였다. 출력스펙트럼은 중심주파수에서 각각 +11[GHz], +20[MHz], +30[MHz] offset인 주파수에서 적응형 방식이 아닌 경우와 비교하여 4[dB], 6[dB], 16[dB]의 ACPR특성이 향상되었으며, IEEE 802.11a 무선 랜 송신스펙트럼 마스크 규격을 만족하였다.
