High efficiency switching mode circuits such as class I amplifiers have been well known in the MHz frequency range. The class E amplifier is a type of switching mode amplifier offering very high efficiency approaching 100%. In this paper, the class E amplifier has been designed by using the harmonic balance method of circuit simulator. The designed amplifier is realized by using pHEMT and microstrip line, shows 66% power added efficiency (PAE) at 2.4GHz with 17.6dBm output power. With -3dBm input power of wireless LAN, measured output spec01m can meet the required IEEE 802.11g standard spectrum mask. That means the required amplifier back off of 9dB from $P_{ldB}$ to satisfy the required wireless LAN spectrum mask.

This paper proposes a method which increases the linearity using an improvement mechanism of Doherty power amplifier and compensates the decrement of efficiency due to improvement of linearity. To verify the method, a 20W power amplifier is designed and implemented. Compared with 2-way Doherty power amplifier, the implemented 3-way Doherty power amplifier with class F shows improved linearity about 10dBc and efficiency about 1.5%. Also, efficiency characteristic has been improved about 3.5% compared with the 2-way Doherty power amplifier while maintaining linearity. This results show that the proposed 3-way Doherty power amplifier with class F is shown to be adequate for improvement of efficiency and linearity. It is expected that the proposed amplifier can be used for various wireless communication system amplifiers.

In this paper, high-efficiency DC-AC converter is implemented for the wireless power transmission. The DC-AC converter is implemented by combining the oscillator and power amplifier. Because the conversion efficiency of wireless power transmitter is strongly affected by the efficiency of power amplifier, the high-efficiency power amplifier is implemented by using the Class-E amplifier structure. Also, because the output power of oscillator connected to the input stage of power amplifier is low, high-gain two-stages power amplifier using the drive amplifier is implemented to realize the high-output power DC-AC converter. The dual band harmonic suppression filter is implemented to suppress 2nd, 3rd harmonics of 13.56 MHz. The output power and conversion efficiency of DC-AC converter are 40 dBm and 80.2 % at the operation frequency of 13.56 MHz.

When we want to observe and record a patient's EEG in an operating room, the operation of electrosurgical unit(ESU) causes undesirable artifacts with high frequency and high voltage. These artifacts make the amplifiers of the conventional EEG system saturated and prevent the system from measuring the EEG signal. This paper describes a high-performance bipolar EEG amplifier for a CSA (compressed spectral array ) system with reduced ESU artifacts. The designed EEG amplifier uses a balanced filter to reduce the ESU artifacts, and isolates the power supply and the signal source of the preamplifier from the ground to cut off the current from the ESU to the amplifier ground. To cancel the common mode noise in high frequency, a high CMRR(common mode rejection ratio) diffferential amplifier is used. Since the developed bipolar EEG amplifier shows high gain, low noise, high CMRR, high input impedance, and low thermal drift, it is possible to observe and record more clean EEG signals in spite of ESU operation. Therefore the amplifier may be applicable to a high-fidelity CSA system.

A design of cascaded distributed amplifier with a broadband amplification is described in this paper. A medium power device with 23dBm, max output power under the optimal narrow-band power matching condition is adopted for the design and fabrication of the cascaded distributed amplifier. In general, conventional distributed amplifiers with the parallel connected input ports have a low gain, and previous cascaded distributed amplifiers show a relatively low output power of 10dBm at most, which is the upper limit of small signal amplification. However, the cascaded distributed amplifier in this paper shows the gain of $18.15{\pm}0.75dB$ and output power of 20dBm over $300MHz{\sim}2GHz$ from the measurement, so it can be well adopted as a wideband driver amplifier.

제어계에서 사용되는 D.C. amplifier는 그 이용의 범위가 많으나 실제로 computer에 적용시킨것은 1947년에 Ragazzini에 의하여 연산증폭기(Operational amplifier)를 완성하므로서 비로서 시작한 것이다. 고로 역사가 짧은 이에 대한 연구와 사용문제는 아직까지도 계속하고 있는 것이다. 따라서 본고에서는 연산증폭기회로에 대한 조립을 구체적으로 설명하고 그의 특성을 실험으로서 얻어 TRIGA MARK-II 원자로의 simulating에 사용시킬수 있게 그 이용가치를 취급하고저 한것이다.

The new structure method of GaAs microwave amplifiers using DC block function and impedance transforming property of DC block/transformer(non-symmetrical two - microstrip coupled line and interdigital three - microstrip coupled line), instead of chip capacitor, is presented. The newly structured microwave amplifier showed wideband characteristics(bandwidth, 3.5 GHz) and flat frequency response. Interdigital three - microstrip coupled line which is used for microwave amplifier can be used to match amplifiers as well as DC blocking.

본 논문에서는 고출력 증폭기와 송신 펄스 성형 필터로서 Raised Cosine filter (RCF)를 사용하는 OFDM 시스템에서 비선형 왜곡 보상을 위한 고정점 반복 사전왜곡기를 제안하고 이의 성능을 검증하였다. 제안된 사전왜곡기는 RCF 전단에 위치하나 이의 Zero-Intersymbol Interference 성질을 이용하여 단지 고출력 증폭기에 의한 기억성이 없는 비선형 왜곡만을 보상하는 효율적인 구조이다. 또한 성능 검증을 위해 필터 전단에 위치하는 사전왜곡기와 증폭기 전단에 위치하여 증폭기의 비선형 왜곡만을 보상하는 사전왜곡기를 비교하여, 필터에서 ISI를 제거한 경우에는 사전왜곡기의 위치에 관계없이 비선형 왜곡을 효과적으로 보상할 수 있다는 점을 모의실험을 통해 확인하였다.

현재 사용되고 있는 CDMA 시스템에서는 기지국 내에 사용되는 고출력 증폭기(high power. amplifier)의 비선형 특성으로 인해, 시스템의 송신 신호는 심각한 비선형 왜곡을 겪게되고 이는 결국 시스템의 성능을 크게 악화시키는 요인으로 작용한다. 이러한 고출력 증폭기의 비선형성은 출력 신호 레벨을 선형 영역으로 충분히 backing-off 시킴으로써 감소시킬 수 있으나, 이는 송신 신호의 출력을 과도하게 감소시키게 되어 결국 fade margin을 감소시키는 결과를 가져온다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 고출력 증폭기에서 발생하는 비선형 왜곡을 보상할 수 있는 디지털 사전왜곡기를 하드웨어적으로 직접 구현하여 고출력 증폭기의 특성이 변할 때,LMS 알고리듬을 이용하여 LUT의 값을 갱신함으로써 보다 효과적인 적응 사전왜곡기를 설계하는데 목적이 있다.
