Abstract

In this paper, the broadband frequency double down-converter based on LC filter technologies has been designed and implemented, and its performances are introduced. The Designed frequency double down-converter is consisted with a low-noise amplifier, mixer, IF amplifier, LC filter, DC-block capacitor and RF-bypass capacitor. Especially, instead of active devices of a typical converter, the suggested converter designed using passive devices to provide both low-power consumption and low-cost model. As results of the measurement, the implemented frequency double down-converter realizes the broadband performance with the bandwidth of 100MHz (13~113MHz) at the center frequency of 63MHz, and its gain is approximately 40dB.

본 논문에서는 LC 필터 기술을 기반으로 하는 광대역 주파수 이중 하향변환기(Frequency Double Down-Converter)를 설계 및 제작하였다. 설계한 이중 하향변환기는 저잡음 증폭기, 혼합기, IF 증폭기, LC 필터 등으로 구성되며, DC-Block 커패시터와 RF-Bypass 커패시터로 구성된다. 설계 시에 기존 변환기의 능동소자를 수동소자로 구현하였으며 이에 따라 전력감소 및 저가의 비용을 실현할 수 있었다. 측정 결과, 제작한 주파수 이중 하향변환기는 중심 주파수 63MHz 에서 대역폭 100MHz (13~113MHz)인 광대역을 실현하였으며, 이득은 약 40dB 임을 확인하였다.
