This paper introduces a 5GHz FIR filter low noise amplifier (LNA) based on a distributed amplifier and analyzes the its characteristics. The proposed FIR filter-LNA has the MA(moving average) filter characteristic which improves the frequency selectivity of the amplifier. Proto-type circuits with FR4 and ${\varepsilon}_r=10.2$ PCB have been realized and simulated using ADS (Advanced Design System). The simulation results verified that the designed LNA had a gain of about 10dB and the frequency characteristic of the MA FIR filter. It is expected that the proposed FIR filter LNA can be applicable to the various applications using an amplifier and a filter in RF systems.

In this paper, CPW wideband distributed amplifier was designed and fabricated using 0.1 $\mum$ InGaAs/InAlAs/GaAs Metamorphic HEMT(High Electron Mobility Transistor). The DC characteristics of MHEMT are 442 mA/mm of drain current density, 409 mS/mm of maximum transconductance. The current gain cut-off frequency(fT) is 140 GHz and the maximum oscillation frequency(fmax) is 447 GHz. The distributed amplifier was designed using 0.1 $\mum$ MHEMT and CPW technology. We designed the structure of CPW curve, tee and cross to analyze the discontinuity characteristics of the CPW line. The MIMIC circuit patterns were optimized electromagnetic field through momentum.

This paper introduces analog FIR filters based on a distributed amplifier and analyzes the proposed filter's characteristics. A simple design method of an analog FIR filter based on the digital filter design technique is also introduced. The proposed analog FIR filters are a moving average(MA) and a comb type filters with no multiplier. This simple structures of the proposed filters may enable to operate at multi-GHz frequency range and applicable to combine a filter and an amplifier of RF system. The proposed analog FIR filters were implemented with standard $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The designed GHz analog FIR filters are simulated by Cadence Spectre and compared to the results of digital FIR filters obtained from MATLAB simulations. From the simulation results, the characteristics of the proposed analog FIR filters are fairly well matched with those of digital FIR filters.

X-band(8-12㎓)에서 50W의 고출력을 내는 진행파관 증폭기를 설계하고 제작하여 측정하였다. 본 연구에서는 전자빔과 전자파가 상호작용을 일으키는 Interaction Circuit을 나선형구조로 구성하였고 저속파구조의 분산특성을 얻기 위해 Sheath helix 모델링 이론을 적용하였고 HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulator) Code를 사용해 분산특성을 얻었으며 이를 바탕으로 제작하여 측정하였다. 또한 2D-MAGIC Code를 통해 전파 빔과 전자파와의 상호작용관계와 증폭기의 성능을 예측하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 포화입력전력 100 mW를 넣었을 때 10㎓에서 43W의 출력전력과 26㏈의 이득을 얻을 수 있었으며 측정을 통해 입력전력 30mw일 때 8W의 출력, 24㏈의 이득을 얻을 수 있었다.

We have studied the dispersion properties of a 40 channel x 10 Gbit/s wavelength division multiplexer(WDM) transmission link using standard single mode fiber with all EDFA amplification over 30 x 100 km spans. The dispersion map of the link was investigated by adding fiber sections with positive or negative dispersion at the transmitter, within each amplifier span, and at the receiver. Optimum combinations of these dispersive fiber lengths were attained to significantly enhance the overall transmission performance.

In this paper, we propose a numerical analysis on reversed current of distributed amplifier based on transmission line theory and proposed a theory to obtain optimum transmission line length to minimize the reversed currents by cancelling those components. The reversed current is analyzed as being simply absorbed into the terminal resistance in the conventional analysis. In the proposed analysis, however, they are designed to be cancelled by each other with opposite phase by the optimal length of the transmission lint Circuit simulation and implementation using pHEMT transistor were performed to validate the proposed theory with the cutoff frequency of 3.6 GHz. From the measurement, maximum gain of 14.5dB and minimum gain of 12.3dB were achieved In the operation band. Moreover, measured efficiency of the proposed distributed amplifier is 25.6% at 3 GHz, which is 7.6%, higher than the conventional distributed amplifier. Measured output power Is about 10.9dBm, achieving 1.7dB higher output power than the conventional one. Those improvement is thought to be based on the cancellation of refersed current.

We will demonstrate a novel topology for the feedforward amplifier. This amplifier does not use a delay element thus providing an efficiency enhancement and a size reduction by employing a distributed element negative group delay circuit. The insertion loss of the delay element in the conventional feedforward amplifier seriously degrades the efficiency. Usually, a high power co-axial cable or a delay line filter is utilized for a low loss, but the insertion loss, cost and size of the delay element still acts as a bottleneck. The proposed negative group delay circuit removes the necessity of the delay element required for a broadband signal suppression loop. With the fabricated 2-stage distributed element negative group delay circuit with -9 ns of total group delay, a 0.2 dB of insertion loss, and a 30 MHz of bandwidth for a wideband code division multiple access downlink band, the feedforward amplifier with the proposed topology experimentally achieved a 19.4 % power added efficiency and a -53.2 dBc adjacent channel leakage ratio with a 44 dBm average output power.

We have been implemented 10 Gb/s-320 km of dispersion-shifted fiber (DSF) transmission. The optical link consists of a 10 Gb/s optical transceiver, an optical booster amplifier, 3 sets of optical in-line amplifiers, an optical preamplifier and transmission fibers. Firstly, we investigated the Q-factor characteristics in terms of optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) of 320 km of DSF, measured receiver sensitivity is -27 dBm and power penalty is 2 dB, respectively. We concluded that optical SNR degradation and path penalty gives rise to 1 dB penalty, respectively.
