Abstract

In this paper, we propose the architecture of a multi-band receiver which can receive X-band, Ku-band, K-band and Ka-band signals. For implementing this architecture, we designed a wideband and high power VCO with a buffer stage. In order that a buffer does not affect the characteristic of a oscillation in steady state condition, output impedance of a oscillation part and input impedance of a buffer are orthogonally crossed. The fabricated VCO meets the performance parameter of the multi-band receiver which has a $14.00{\sim}15.20\;GHz$ bandwidth with respect to the tuning voltage, $0.0{\sim}8.0\;V$, and output power of $12{\sim}13\;dBm$.

X-대역, Ku-대역, K-대역 및 Ka-대역의 신호를 수신할 수 있는 다중 대역 수신기의 구조를 제안하고 이를 구현하기 위해서 요구되는 광대역 및 높은 출력 전력 특성을 갖는 전압 제어 발진기를 설계 제작하였다. 완충단을 갖는 전압 제어 발진기는 정상 상태 조건에서 발진부의 특성이 완충단에 의해 영향을 받지 않도록 발진부의 출력 임피던스와 완충단의 입력 임피던스가 직교 교차하도록 설계하였다. 제작한 전압 제어 발진기는 튜닝 전압 $0.0{\sim}8.0\;V$에서 $14.00{\sim}15.20\;GHz$ 대역폭을 나타내었고, $12{\sim}13\;dBm$ 출력 전력 특성을 나타내어 다중 대역 수신기에서 요구하는 특성을 만족하였다.
