Lasers for optical broadband communication systems should have excellent frequency selectivity and modal stability. DFB(Distributed Feedback) lasers have low lasing frequency shift during high speed current modulation. In this paper, I have developed a simulation software and analysed threshold gain and lasing frequency of a lasing mode in longitudinal direction of an 1.55um DFB laser with two mirrors and without anti-reflection coatings, that have both an index- and gain-gratings. The grating phase on a left mirror face is fixed as π/2 and the grating phase on a right mirror face is varied. As the phases of the index and gain gratings on the right mirror facet are π and 0, κL should be in the range of 2~6 in order to enhance the frequency stability. In order to reduce the threshold current of a lasing mode, κL should be greater than 8, regardless of the grating phases on the mirror faces.

본 논문에서는 저고도 탐지레이다 센서체계의 주파수 합성기는 송수신 장치의 기준 주파수원으로 이용될 국부 발진 주파수들을 생성해 내는 주파수 합성부에 대해 설명되었다. 주파수 합성기의 성능을 평가하기위하여 각 주파수 원들의 위상잡음 특성과 주파수 합성기의 스위칭 시간을 신호 혼합기를 이용하여 측정 하였으며, 그 결과 설계 시 제시한 30(usec)이하인 약18usec의 스위칭 시간이 대부분을 차지함을 알 수 있었다. 주파수 합성기에서 생성된 최종 출력 주파수는 저고도 탐지 레이다의 송수신 장치의 국부발진 주파수로 이용되므로 출력 레벨의 flatness를 측정하여 분석한다.

본 논문에서는 능동 배열 안테나에서 RF 대신 중간주파수를 이용하여 빔 추적을 하는 방법이 연구되었다. 안테나의 각 배열은 전압제어 발진기, 위상추적기, 혼합기와 결합되어 있으며 혼합기는 안테나 상에서 직접 RF 신호를 직접 중간주파수 신호로 변환시킨다. 전압제어 발진기 입력은 위상추적기에 의하여 조절되며 배열 안테나의 주사범위는 위상추적기와 전압제어발진기에 의하여 결정되었다.

본 논문에서는 일체형, Nd:YAG 고리 레이저에서 서로 반대방향으로 진행하는 두 모드의 비선형적인 상호작용에 의한 출력 불안정 현상을 조사하였다. 실험을 통하여 두 모드가 각각 단일 종모드로 발진함을 확인하였고, 레이저가 발진하는 임계치 부근의 낮은 펌핑수준을 유지하여 다중모드간의 경쟁이나 단방향 발진에 의한 출력 불안정이 아님을 확인하였다. 또한 잘 알려진 시스템 고유의 감쇄진동과 구별되는 현상임을 보였다. 두 모드간의 손실차가 클수록 이 출력의 변조주파수는 증가하고 변조폭이 줄어 들어 안정화 되며 단방향 발진이 일어난다.

In this paper, we present a design and implementation of a Voltage-tuned Planar Composite Resonator Oscillator(Vt-PCRO) with a low phase noise. The designed Vt-PCRO is composed of a resonator, two phase shifters, and an amplifier. The resonator is designed using a dual mode SIW(Substrate Integrated Waveguide) resonator and has a group delay of about 40 nsec. Of the two phase shifters (PS1 and PS2), PS1 with a phase shift of $360^{\circ}$ is used for the open loop gain to satisfy oscillation condition without regard to the electrical lengths of the employed microstrip lines in the loop. PS2 with a phase shift of about $70^{\circ}$ is used to tune oscillation frequency. The amplifier is constructed using two stages to compensate for the loss of the open loop. Through the measurement of the open loop gain, the tune voltage of the PS1 can be set to satisfy the oscillation condition and the loop is then closed to form the oscillator. The oscillator with a oscillation frequency of 5.345 GHz shows a phase noise of -130.5 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz frequency offset. The oscillation power and the electrical frequency tuning range is about 3.5 dBm and about 4.2 MHz for a tuning voltage of 0~10 V, respectively.

The push-push DRO(dielectric resonator oscillator) using a multi-layer structure of LTCC(low temperature co-fired ceramic) fabrication is designed. After the single DRO of series feedback type in the center frequency of 8GHz is designed, the push-push DRO in the center frequency of 16GHz including the Wilkinson power combiner is designed. The bias circuit affecting the size of oscillator are embedded in the intermediate layer of the LTCC multi-layer substrate. As a result, the large reduction in the size of VCO is obtained compared to the general oscillator on the single layer substrate. Experimental results show that the fundamental and third harmonics suppression are above 15dBc and 25dBc, respectively, and phase noise characteristics of the push-push DRO presents performance of -102dBc/Hz@100KHz and -128dBc/Hz@1MHz offset frequencies from carrier.

A VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) and a divide-by-4 high speed frequency divider are implemented using 65nm CMOS technology for 60GHz wireless communication system. The mm-wave VCO was designed by NMOS cross-coupled LC type using current source. The architecture of the divide-by-4 high speed frequency divider is differential ILFD (Injection Locking Frequency Divider) with varactor to control frequency range. The frequency divider also uses current sources to get good phase noise characteristics. The measured results show that the VCO has 64.36~67.68GHz tuning range and the frequency divider divides the VCO output by 4 exactly. The high output power of 5.47~5.97dBm from the frequency divider is measured. The phase noise of the VCO including the frequency divider are -77.17dBc/Hz at 1MHz and -110.83dBc/Hz at 10MHz offset frequency. The power consumption including VCO is 38.4mW with 1.2V supply voltage.

In this paper, a systematic design of a low phase noise voltage-tuned dielectric resonator oscillator(VTDRO) using loop group delay is proposed. Designed VTDRO is closed-loop type and consists of a cascade connection of a resonator, phase shifter, and amplifier. Firstly, a reference VTDRO is fabricated and its phase noise and electrical frequency tuning range are measured. Both the phase noise and electrical frequency tuning range depend on the loop group delay. Then, a required value of loop group delay for a new VTDRO with a low phase noise can be systematically computed. In addition, its phase noise and electrical frequency tuning range can be theoretically estimated using those obtained from the measurement of the reference VTDRO. When the loop group delay increases, the phase noise decreases and the electrical frequency tuning range also decreases. The former predominantly depends on the resonator structure. Therefore we propose a systematic design procedure of a resonator with high group delay characteristics. The measured loop group delay of the new VTDRO is about 700 nsec. The measured phase noise of the new VTDRO show a state-of-the-art performance of 154.5 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz frequency offset and electrical frequency tuning range of 448 kHz for a voltage change of 0~10V. The oscillation power is about 4.39 dBm.

A Gunn waveguide-oscillator, mechanically tunable from 60 to 70 GHz, has been developed for use as a local oscillator(LO) is millimeter radio telescope. Disc size, post size and characteristics of Gunn diode have an effect on the frequency tuning characteristics of Gunn oscillator. In this paper we report experimental results and design criteria for a wideband tunable Gunn oscillator. The developed Gunn oscillator has been used in the 100/150 GHz band dual channel receiver for the Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory.
