본 논문에서는 직접 변환 방식의 가장 큰 문제점 중 하나인 DC 오프셋 문제를 개선하기 위한 방안으로, 서브 하모닉 저항성 믹서를 GaAs FET 소자를 이용하여 제작하였다. 측정된 결과 LO 주파수의 2 차 하모닉 성분을 이용하는 특성상 변환이득은 일반 믹서보다 큰 -15.0dB의 특성을 얻었다. 또한 별도의 대역통과 여파기를 사용하지 않고도 LO-IF 및 LO-RF 분리도 특성은 최소 48.2dB와 77.8dB의 양호한 특성을 나타내었다.

A V-band MIMIC quadruple subharmonic mixer is reported in this paper. The cascode harmonic generator is proposed for a high conversion gain. The proposed cascode harmonic generator is shown with a 4-th harmonic output characteristic that represents an average of 2.9 dB and a maximum of 4 dB higher than the conventional multiplier. The measured result of the subharmonic mixer has a conversion gain of 3_4 dB which a good conversion gain at a LO power of 13 dBm. Isolations of LO-to-IF and LO-to-RF were obtained -53.6 dB and -46.2 dB, respectively. The conversion gain of the subharmonic mixer in this study has a higher conversion gain compared with some other reports in millimeter-wave range.

The power train of a concrete truck mixer reducer includes differential planetary gears to get a large reduction ratio for operating the mixer drum in a compact structure. These differential planetary gears are a very important part of the mixer reducer where strength problems are the main concern. Gear bending stress, gear compressive stress and scoring failure are the main concerns. Many failures in differential planetary gears are due to the insufficient gear strength and resonance problems caused by major excitation forces such as gear mating failure in the transmission. In the present study, where the excitation frequencies are the gear tooth passing frequencies of the mating gears, a Campbell diagram is used to calculate differential planetary gear critical speeds. Mode shapes and natural frequencies of the differential planetary gears are calculated by CATIA V5. These are used to predict gear resonance failures by comparing the working speed range with the critical speeds due to the gear transmission errors of the differential planetary gears.

From the present paper we researched about the design of 4-Way Wilkinson divider with waveguide to stripline transition which used to split the LO signal with equi-amplitude and equi-phase in the X-Band Monopulse radar RF front-end. The monopulse radar front end operating in the X-Band is composed of 3 waveguide reception mixers which down convert sum, azimuth and elevation signal to IF and one SSB waveguide mixers which generate X-Band test signal. It is required the 4-way divider with low loss, equi amplitude and equiphase splitting the LO signal to provide the LO signal to each mixer consisting RF frontend. In this paper we designed and fabricated the 4-Way Wilkinson divider with waveguide transition to divide the LO signal into equi-amplitude and equi-phase. The fabricated Wilkinson divider have the insertion loss 6.8dB, VSWR 1.06~1.28, and phase balance maximum 4.5degree for each output ports.

From the present paper researched about the Design of Image Rejection SSB Modulator for X-Band Monopulse RADAR using Waveguide Hybrid Coupler. Generally, SSB modulator mixes IF(RF) and LO signals, and then it converts to RF(IF) frequency band. In this case, in order to transmit one sideband from RF band, SSB modulator is demanded the removal of image and LO signal. The balanced mixer was designed using waveguide hybrid coupler and crystal mixer diode to mix LO and IF signal. And also the IF Amplifier was designed for IF(+) and IF(-) signal generation which have $90^{\circ}$ phase differences which are suitable in two crystal mixer diode inputs. In order to maintain a high electric reliability from high frequency band the waveguide and IF amplifier's case were manufactured with aluminum using deep brazing techniques. The test result of SSB modulator, LO and sideband signal rejection ratio were 14.2dB and 18.5dB respectively.

헤어드라이기, 자동차용 진공청소기, 면도기, 쥬서/믹서기등과 같은 소형 가 전제품은 사용시, 제품과 소비자사이의 거리가 짧아 진동/소음에 관한 인식이 대형 가전제품에 비해 크다. 과거에는 가전제품의 경우, 기본성능 및 각 회사만이 갖고 있는 독자적인 성능과 디자인을 최우선적으로 고려하여 설계하였다. 소음/진동에 관한 문제는 제품이 제작된 후에 필요에 따라 고려되었기 때문에 주어진 조건하에서 저진동/저소음을 위한 대책에는 한계가 있었다. 근래에는 진동/소음에 대한 관심이 증가하면서 제품의 설계단계부터 저진동/저소음 제품을 설계하기 위한 노력이 점차로 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 추세의 한 예로서 헤어드라이기에 대해 결정된 디자인 및 성능이 크게 변경되지 않는 범위내에서 진동/소음이 적은 구조를 설계하는데 목적이 있다. 먼저, 헤어드라이기의 소음원 및 특성을 간단히 규명한 뒤, 벨마우스(bellmouth) 이용등과 같이 일반적으로 잘 알려진 소음저감법을 소음원에 대해 적용하였다. 헤어드라이기의 경우 소음원이 몸체에 삽입되는 순간 특정 주파수대역에서 소음이 증가하는 현상이 발생하는데, 헤어드라이기의 몸체에 대한 음향학적 특성을 수치해석 및 실험을 통해 파악함으로써 이에 대한 원인을 규명하였다. 이를 바탕으로 몇가지의 변경된 구조에 대해 소음에 관련된 현상을 고찰해 봄으로써 저소음을 위한 헤어드라이기의 설계방법을 제안하였다.

In this paper, we proposed the wireless communication system using millimeter-wave envelope detector. The sub-harmonic mixer based on schottky barrier diode was used in the transmitter. The receiver was used millimeter-wave envelope detector. The transmitter was composed of schottky diode sub-harmonic mixer, frequency tripler, and horn antenna. The receiver was composed of horn antenna, millimeter-wave envelope detector, low pass filter, base band amplifier, and limiting amplifier. At 1.485 Gbps and 300 GHz, the eye-diagram showed a very good performance as measured by the error free. Communication distance is reduced compared to the heterodyne receiver, but compact and lightweight is possible.
