In this paper, a 4-channel common-cathode VCSEL diode driver array with 3.125 Gb/s per channel operation speed is realized. In order to achieve faster speed of the switching main driver with relatively large transistors, the transmitter array chip consists of a pre-amplifier with active inductor stage and also an input buffer with modified equalizer, which leads to bandwidth extension and reduced current consumption. The utilized VCSEL diode provides inherently 2.2 V forward bias voltage, $50{\Omega}$ resistance, and 850 fF capacitance. In addition, the main driver based upon current steering technique is designed, so that two individual current sources can provide bias currents of 3.0 mA and modulation currents of 3.3 mA to VCSEL diodes. The proposed 4-channel VCSEL driver array has been implemented by using a $0.11-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology, and the chip core occupies the area of $0.15{\times}0.18{\mu}m^2$ and dissipates 22.3 mW per channel.

As one of solutions to pursue the efficient use of spectrum resource, we proposed the methodology for the co-channel multi-site radar operations with the synchronous GPS clock. The proposed algorithm, based on a quasi orthogonal property, find a candidate set of the time shifted linear frequency modulation(TSLFM) signals with the minimum acceptable level of the correlation among selected TSLFM signals. To check suggested algorithm, numerical analysis for several radars operating in the same channel with a sawtooth waveform has been performed by using range-Doppler processing for the given system parameters, and computational results are presented and examined in terms of range profile and doppler shift for a targets with velocity and distance. Simulated results have a good agreement with assumed target distance and its velocity, within the error of resolution.

This paper propose a digital watermarking method for digital contents which satisfies both the invisibility and the robustness to attacks to prohibit counterfeiting, modification, illegal usage and illegal re-production of video contents. This watermarking algorithm insert a watermark(digital hologram) by generated using Fresnel transform which improve the robustness. The inserting positions of the watermark choose by considering the frequency property of an image and a watermark. Also the amount of watermarking for watermark bit decide by considering the level of 2DDWT. This algorithm was implemented by C++ and experimented for invisibility and robustness with optical system. The experiment results showed that the method satisfied enough the invisibility of the inserted watermark and robustness against attacks. For the general attacks, the error rate of the extracted watermark was less than 15%, which is enough in robustness against the attacks.

Wavelength conversion devices are essential to build an expanding all-optical network, and various types of wavelength conversion techniques are being researched. Among them, wavelength conversion based on the cross phase modulation in a directionally coupled semiconductor optical amplifier has been introduced and the concept has been experimentally proved. In this paper, a split-step method is applied to properly model the mentioned wavelength converter in the time-domain and various characteristics have been analyzed. It is shown that the present modeling approach can explain the results of the reported experimental results. Furthermore the wavelength conversion is shown to be well performed when the input signal wave and the converted wave travels in the opposite direction. The simulation shows that the positive and negative chirping appear simultaneously at both the leading and trailing of edges of the optical pulse.

In this paper, we propose an excellent ultrasonic transceiver system based on a QPSK modulation technique for underwater communication. The transmitter sends a still image at the level of 187dB re $1{\mu}Pa/V@1m$ through a power amplifier by driving an ultrasonic sensor. The receiver performs digital conversion at the 100kHz sampling frequency, demodulation and decoding process for the image sent from the transmitter through the underwater communication. We have shown that the processed image at the receiver is almost the same as the orignal one. The maximum detection distance of the system proposed in this paper is approximately 1.17km. To cope with the difficulties of transmission loss, this paper proposes, implements and analyzes important parameters of sensors and circuits used in the system. Most of the underwater communication has focused on the transmission of audio signal, but this paper suggests an efficient underwater communication system for still image transmission.

In this paper, a new signal canceller that input signals are equally group-delayed and cancelled each other is proposed and feedforward linearizing power amplifier that adopt the proposed signal cancellers is fabricated. Although the conventional signal canceller can't matches the phase and the group delay time of input signals simultaneously, the proposed signal canceller matches those simultaneously. Simultaneous matching of the phase and the group delay time can makes wideband signal cancellation. The main signal cancellation loop of the fabricated feedforward amplifier with the proposed signal cancellers cancel input signal more than 26.3 dB and the intermodulation distortion signal cancellation loop cancel more than 15.2 dB for 200 MHz bandwidth. And the proposed feedforward power amplifier improves C/I ratio by 20.8 dB with two tones at 2,115 MHz, 2,165 MHz, respectively.

We propose and demonstrate an I/Q demodulator using four-port BPSK demodulator base on additive mixing and reflection-type phase shifter using hybrid technique. Previously, the conventional I/Q demodulator base on multiplicative or additive mixing method divides I/Q signal path from mixer to parallel-to-serial converter. In this paper, we propose new I/Q demodulator without dividing I/Q baseband signal path. The proposed schematic requires half size in implementation and half power consumption in baseband path compared with the conventional receiver. Also, the proposed receiver eliminates parallel-to-serial converter after data decoding. The proposed circuit has been successfully demodulated a QPSK signal with the L-band carrier frequency and 20 Mbps data rate.

Recently spaceborne SAR systems are increasing image resolution and frequency. As a high quality image resolution, the wider bandwidth is required and a wideband signal generator with RF component is very complicated and RF impairments of device is increased. Therefore, it is very important to improve performance by reducing these errors. In this study, the transmission signal of the wideband signal generator is applied to the phase noise, IQ imbalance, ripple gain, nonlinear model of high power amplifier. And we define possible structures of wideband signal generator and measure the PSLR and ISLR for the performance assesment. Also, we extract error of the amplitude and phase from the waveform and use a quadratic polynomial curve fitting and examine the performance change due to nonlinear device. Finally, we apply a high power amplifier predistortion method for non-linear error compensation. And we confirm that distortion in the output of the amplifier by intermodulation component is decreased by 15 dB.

The development of wireless network technology allows high data rate seamless communication irrespective of the place and time in various emerging mobile service environment. Unlike wired networks, however, wireless networks utilize expensive limited bandwidth. MBS(Multicast Broadcast Service), which is supported by mobile WiMAX system based on IEEE802.16e, overcomes this problem using a shared downlink channel for efficiently supporting a number of users. However. the coverage and throughput of the system are significantly affected by the channel condition. In this paper we propose on MBS system employing Mobile Multi-Hop Relay(MMR) and adaptive modulation and coding(AMC) scheme. The result of NS-2 computer simulation shows that the throughput and transmission time are substantially improved by the proposed approach compared to the existing MBS system.

International Civil Aviation Organization(ICAO) adopted VOR(Very high frequency Omni-Range) as an international standard air navigation system in 1949 and recommended every country to make use of it in formulating air route and guiding take-off and landing of an aircraft. VOR is quite a useful navigation system so that more than 2,000 VORs have been installed all over the world including 39 in Korea: however, VOR signal could be easily affected by its circumstance like a mountainous area because it provides navigation information through AM and FM of VHF carrier. Therefore this study intends to investigate how much VOR performance is affected by its circumstances. For this purpose, the performance of the 10 VORs influenced by 24 obstacles are measured and analyzed by using an aircraft equipped with measuring instruments. This study may give us a feasible solution of problems related to the VOR siting in the future.
