In this paper, dual mode FET mixer for WiBro and wireless LAN(WLAN) applications has been designed in the form of dual gate FET mixer by using the cascode structure of two single gate pHEMTs. The designed dual gate mixer has been optimized to have variable conversion gain for WiBro and WLAN applications in order to save dc power consumption. The LO to RF isolation of the designed mixer is more than 20dB from 2.3GHz to 2.5GHz band. With the LO power of 0dBm and RF power of -50dBm, the mixer shows 15dB conversion gain. When RF power increases from -50dBm to -20dBm, the conversion gain decreases to -2dB from 15dB with bias change. The variable conversion gain has several advantages. It can reduce the high dynamic range requirement of AGC burden at IF stage. Also, it can save the dc power dissipation of mixer up to 90%.

In this paper, In this paper, we consider a dynamic range in the frequency converter to obtain a high conversion gain and linearity while operating area proposed to broaden the design. Super-heterodyne RF Front-End style was applied to the active mixer stage, GaAs devices were used. Circuit design easy and simple forms benefit circuit is constructed in the drain mixer, passive mixer with the operating area were compared and analyzed. The simulation results of the conversion gain of 2.4dB and 0.2dBm about a gain-compression point, and showed the dynamic range of 71.9dB, when compared with passive mixers, dynamic range of approximately 6dB improvement was identified. Measurements of an approximately 2dB conversion gain and-1.0dBm of the gain-compression point, and confirmed that the active area of 71.1dB. When compared with passive mixers, dynamic range of is reduced by approximately 8dB has been improved.

광통신이 발달하면서 보다 빠른 정보전송을 할 수 있지만 다른 전송매체와 마찬가지로 장거리 전송 시 손실이 발생하고 이러한 문제의 해결책으로 광 증폭기의 필요성이 대두 되었다. 기존의 광신호 증폭기에서는 광 신호를 전기신호 변환한 후 증폭하고 다시 증폭된 전기신호를 광신호로 변환하는 과정과 복잡한 구조는 전송시스템의 병목 문제를 유발하였다. 이러한 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 순수 광신호 증폭시스템인 어븀첨가광섬유증폭기 (EDFA)를 제작하고 EDFA의 이득평탄화를 위하여 이득평탄화 필터로 MLPFG를 제작하여 적용하였다. 제작된 EDFA는 20dB 이상의 신호 증폭을 보였다.

In this paper, local oscillator in K band using low frequency noise upconversion gain anaylsis was designed and measured. We extended Two Signal Method(TSM) to estimate upconversion gain and resulting phase noise. To confirm the validity of the proposed method, a free-running oscillator which had low upconversion gain was designed. The measured oscillation frequency was 23.42 GHz and phase noise at 1 MHz of offset was -105.2 dBc/Hz. Also, this oscillator was operated for subharmonic injection locked osci1lator(SILO). In this case, SILO showed ideal frequency multiplier phase noise characteristics at low subharmonic injection power level.

In this paper, we propose a new gain optimization technique for Sigma-Delta A/D converters. In the proposed scheme, multiple gain set candidates showing maximum SNR in the modulator block are selected, and then multiple gain set candidates are investigated for minimum MSE in decimation block. Through CIC decimation filter simulation, it is shown that second SNR ranking candidate in modulation block is the best gain set.

본 논문에서는 K-band SMDS용 하향변환기를 설계 및 제작하였다.

A new structure of tunable wavelength converter based on XCM in SOA was tried and analyzed. This converter used single SOA and had very simple structure. In this paper, results were experimentally obtained and demonstrated. Pump signal was generated with NRZ $(PRBS\;2^{31}-1)$ and data rate 2.5 Gbps. WDM multi conveted signals showed more than 8.3 dB extinction ratio. For BER performance, all these converted signals had within 5.0 dB power penalty compared with the pump signal. With these results, we showed that this converter was suitable for 2.5 Gbps WDM multi-channel wavelength converting.

The transform limited optical short pulses are generated by compression of pulses from a gain switched distributed feedback laser at 5 GHz repetition rate. The gain-switched pulses have the minimum pulse width of 27 psec with the spectral width of 1.1 nm. Thus the output pulses have a large amount of linear chirp and nonlinear chirp. We suppress the nonlinear chirp by passing the pulses through the optical band pass filter with 3 dB band width of 0.55 nm which is narrower than spectral width of the input pulses and generate 7.1 psec pulses by compressing the output with the dispersion compensating fiber. The pulses have time-bandwidth product of 0.49 which is close to the transform limited gaussian pulse. These pulses can be utilized as optical sources in 40 Gbit/s time division multiplexed optical transmission system.

본 논문에서는 움직임 보상과 웨이브릿 변환 부호화 기법을 이용하여 비디오 신호의 데이터를 압축하고자 한다. 비디오 신호에 대한 인간 시각 특성을 분석하여 큰 이득을 주지 못하는 과정을 생략하고 인간의 눈에 민감하지 않은 정보를 생략함으로써 화질의 저하 없이 비디오 신호를 높은 비율로 압축한다. 제안한 방법은 움직임이 발생되는 정도와 크기에 매우 의존적으로, 움직임이 많은 비디오 신호에 더욱 적합하나 움직임이 작은 경우에도 저주파 대역들의 움직임 보상에 의한 이득이 크기 때문에 모든 영상에 대해서 적용 가능한 방법이다. 'football'과 'Popple'을 대상으로 한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션결과, 프레임당 30:1 정도의 압축하에서 높은 재생화질을 얻을 수 있었다.
