This paper presents the multi-band mixer which converts a X-, K- and Ka-band adaptively by adjusting the gate-bias voltage of an active device. The proposed mixer presented a conversion loss of -10 dB at -0.8 V gate-bias voltage for X-band, a conversion loss of -9 dB at -0.3 V gate-bias voltage for K-band and for Ka-band, a conversion loss of -7 dB at -0.2 V gate-bias voltage under the LO power of +6.0 dBm. The 1dB compression point (P1dB) is +0.5 dBm for all band.

In this paper, we have developed a frequency mixer which can be used as a microwave phase conjugator in the LS band retrodirective antenna system. The mixer as a phase conjugator must have an If signal of which frequency is nearly as high as that of an RF signal, so this fact brings difficulty in the combination of input signals and the design of impedance matching circuit. The circuit configuration is chosen to be of the gate mixer using a pseudomorphic HEMT device. The operating frequencies are 4.00 ㎓, 2.01 ㎓, and 1.99 ㎓ for LO, RF, and IF, respectively. Conversion gain is measured to be 12.5 ㏈ and 1 ㏈ compression point -34 ㏈m at the LO power of -7 ㏈m. The mixer fabricated in this research is the single-ended type, where RF leakage signal appears inevitably at the If port because RF and If frequencies are almost the same. The circuit topology suggested here can be applied directly to the design of balanced-type mixers and phase conjugators.

In this paper, we have developed a retrodirective active array operating in the 2 GHz LS band. The retrodirective array has the property of re-directing any electromagnetic wave back to the incoming direction without any priory informations. The system is consisted of frequency mixers and antenna array. The mixer is acting as a phase conjugator. In this research, 2-port gate mixers using pHEMT and 1${\times}$4 monopole array have been used. The retrodirective array developed in this research can be applied in the base station facilities for the wireless mobile communications and RFID transponders.

In this paper, a GaAs MESFET single-ended resistive mixer with high linearity and isolation is designed. The bias voltage of this mixer is applied only gate of GaAs MESFET to use the channel resistance. The LO is applied the gate and the RF is applied the drain through 7-pole hairpin bandpass filter to obtain the proper isolation thru LO-RF. The IF is extracted from the source with short circuit and lowpass filter. Using extracted equivalent circuits for LO and RF, conversion loss is calculated and compared with result of harmonic balance analysis. Measured conversion loss of this S-band down converter mixer is 8.2~10.5dB by considering the measured 3.0~3.4dB RF 7-pole hairpin bandpass filter loss and IP3in is 26.5dBm at Vg=-0.85~-1.0V in distortion performance.

In this paper, we describe a single-gate MESFET mixer at PCS(Personal Communication Service) frequency band. The PCS frequency band is 1965~2025 MHz in FR and 140 MHz in IF irrespectly. The design of the mixer was executed by microwave simulator, EEsof Libra. The matching network is consisted of rectangular inductor, MIM capacitor and open stub. The ma- nufacture work was accomplished by the micro-pen and wedge-bonder. The mixer showed $6.69\pm0.65$ dB of conversion gain, $-14.9\pm3.5$dB of RF reflection coefficient and 57.83 dB of LO/IF isolation at 10 dBm of LO power when LO frequency is 1855 MHz. When this mixer is used at PCS terminal, IF-amplifier which compensates the conversion loss of diode mixer may be omitted.

세라믹 재료들을 성공적으로 사출성형하기 위한 적절한 사출조건을 얻기 위하여 그 동안 많은 실험을 하여 왔으나 게이트 크기가 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 미진하였다. 본 연구에선 압출기를 사용하여 미세한 질화규소분말과 결합제시스템을 혼합하였으며 이러한 세라믹혼합물을 이용하여 사출압력, 보압시간, 보압, 배럴온도, 게이트의 형태와 크기 등을 변화시키면서 사출성형 실험을 수행하였다. 55%의 세라믹혼합물을 사출실험한 결과 적절한 게이트의 크기와 형태를 선택하고 105 MPa의 사출압력과 10초의 보압시간, 24$0^{\circ}C$의 배럴온 도와 같은 사출조건하에서 성형한다면 불완전 충전 체적수축과 젯팅현상을 최소화시킬수 있 어 성공적으로 인장시편과 굽힘시편을 성형할 수 있음을 알수있었다. 상용프로그램인 C-MOLD를 이용하여 사출조건과 게이트의 크기를 변화시키면서 혼합물의 유동특성을 해석 하였다. 유동해석 결과. 세라믹혼합물은 순수고분자보다 열전도도가 크고 비열이 작아서 고 화가 빨리 되므로 게이트의 크기는 사출압력, 배럴온도와 같은 사출조건과 더불어 중요한 사풀변수임을 예측할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we have developed a frequency mixer which can be used as a microwave phase conjugator in the retrodirective array antenna. The retrodirective array, which can reflect the incident wave retrodirertively back to the source direction without any priori information, requires phase conjugators to achieve the phase change of 180 degrees for the incoming signal. frequency mixers can efficiently serve as phase conjugators. The circuit topology is of the 2-port structure to avoid the complexity of LO and Rf signal combination and matching circuits, using a pseudomorphic HEU device. The operating frequencies are 4.0 CHz, 2.01 CHz, and 1.99 CHz for LO, RF, and If signals, respectively. Conversion loss is measured to be -ldB and 1-dB compression point -l5 dBm at the LO power of -10 dBm.

In this paper we proposed a new type of the Optical Cell Compressor and Decompressor which are essential modules in TDM of TDM/WDM Hybrid OPtical ATM Switch structure. This proposed structure frastically lessens hardwares for realization by using SOA gates and optical feedback loops in the process of compression and decompression. Also it is able to compress and decompress the large capacity optical pulse stream just with a few of stages cascade connected. We proved it's possibility for systematic application through 4-bit compression experiment.
