In this paper, a VHF band multi channel phase discriminator for direction finding equipment using tripple baseline interferometer technique is proposed. In order to measure simultaneously phase difference between IF(Intermediate Frequency) signals of the direction finding equipment, phase discriminator was designed to have parallel structure with multi channel, the phase correlator of phase discriminator was designed with I, Q mixer for reducing number of components. And digital LUT(Look Up Table) was applied for compensating error of phase discriminator due to phase unbalance of RF components. The measured phase accuracy of fabricated phase discriminator was 2 degree RMS(Root Mean Square) at 30 dB SNR condition, which is superior to the phase accuracy of conventional product.

In this paper a FET mixer is designed realized by small-signal S-parameter using microwave CAD, LINMIC + at Ku-band. The mixer has conversion gain 9.88dB at 14GHz RF, 1GHz IF, and + 1dBm LO imput. The maximum conversion gain is obtained 11.71dB at 1.1GHz. The result shows that the FET mixer does not need pre-and/or IF amplifier. The mixer maintains the desired conversion gain with low LO power level. The conversion gain of the mixer is higher than the available gain of a amplifier, which is experimentally verified.

A 900-MHz band transceiver has been developed for RFID reader applications. In the transmitter, a GaAs SPST switch is used for high speed switching and low power consumption. In the receiver, a double balanced mixer is used to compress even-harmonic products. The ASK demodulator which consists of an active filter and comparator is used to reject the unwanted in band interferers. The transceiver produces a maximum transmitting power of 30 dBm and exhibits an 5 m communication range with a 6-dBi gain antenna.

This paper deals with the self-excited mixer using tunnel diode oscillator operated as a microwave source and Doppler signal detector. The system impedance, the oscillation condition and the frequency conversion theory including moving target are investigated. The oscillating frequency and the output of tunnel diode oscillator are 2.035 GHz and 0.1 mW. The input signal frequency which is equivalent to Doppler signal is lower than tunnel diode oscillator frequency by 125 MHz. TDe conversion loss has been investigated as a functicn of input signal level. This loss is greater than 67 db for the large pump mode.

A fast-hopping frequency synthesizer that reduces complexity and power consumption is presented for MB-OFDM UWB applications. The proposed architecture uses 3960 MHz LC VCO, 528 MHz ring oscillator, passive mixer and LC-tuned Q-enhancement BPF to generate Band Group 1 frequencies. The adjacent channel rejection ratio is less than -40 dBc for 3432 MHz and -H dBc for 4488 MHz. A fast switching SCL-tpre MUX is used to produce the required channel output signal and it takes less than 2.2 ns for band switching. The total power consumption is 47.9 mW from a 1.8 V supply.

In this paper, the resistive mixer for 5.86Hz wireless LAN, main part receiving system, was designed and implemented. The noise characteristics and the linearity in the base band was superior. For the use of local oscillator of mixer, dielectric resonator of stable output and temperature characteristics was designed. For the electrical tuning by the capacitance variation of varactor diode, the microstrip line and magnetic coupling characteristics of the dielectric resonance was used. It was obtained that gain of the proposed resistive mixer containing the RF cable loss, is -13.8dB, the conversion loss of frequency converter is -12 dB, and the output power of local oscillator is 1.67 dBm.

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.

In this paper, we develop the PLL system of the local oscillator system using Gunn oscillator VCO for millimeter wave band receiving system. The local oscillator system consists of the $86{\sim}115GHz$ Gunn. diode oscillator part, the RF processing part including the diplexer and the harmonic mixer, and the DPLL system including Gunn modulator and controller. Based on this configuration, we verify the frequency and power stability of the developed local oscillator system. We developed system which applied to DPLL technique instead of the existing analog PLL method to accomplish this purpose. The developed system for this purpose is tested the frequency and power stability for a long time to confirm performance. Since we confirmed this system that had frequency characteristic of within ${\pm}10Hz$, very fine output drift power characteristic of $0.2{\sim}0.3dBm$ and about 200MHz locking range, it verified suitable for cosmic radio receiving system through the test result.

One of the most important design parameters in a microwave radio transmitting system is to reduce spurious response from the output spectrum of the transmitting system. A Local oscillator (LO) is seldom totally pure and at the least contain some LO harmonic signals. A LO or any oscillator is a transmitter if provided with a suitable radiator, conduction, or leakage path. Where mixer is employed in the output of the LO mixer generated spurs can be increased by RF amplifier. To reduce LO leakage, notch filter or band pass filter has been conventionally used. In this paper, the leakage reduction(LR) signal, which has the same magnitude and the opposite phase with respect to LO leakage signal, is added to the output of mixer of the wireless LAN system. The LO leakage is reduced by 30 dB more than the conventional methods do. The proposed method is potentially suitable for low-cost, reliable, and simple application of monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs)

In this paper, we fabricated along distance wireless communication transmitter and receiver over the 100 which used NRD technology. To make the transmitter and receiver of 400Hz band using the non radiative dielectric wave guide, transmitter was composed of gm oscillator, m modulator and antenna, receiver was composed of local gum oscillator, balanced mixer, 3dB direction coupler and antenna. Also we executed a wireless communication image transmission examination to the transmitter and receiver. We receive the image information in real-time data transmission from receiver after we send the image signal in the wireless distance of the 10km. Therefore, the 400Hz band U transmitter and receiver to be developed will be used widely for the transmission system CATV or broadband transmission system. This will be utilized also to the link device of a long distance high speed wireless communication network.
