In this paper, we have modeled and fabricated $1{\times}5$ equal power splitter for 1.55${\mu}m$ wavelength using finite-difference beam propagation method and $Ag^+-Na^+$ ion-exchanged method in BK7 glass, respectively. The power splitting ratio could be controlled by changing the center waveguide gap and the inner Y-branch angle. As a result, the power splitting ratio shows 0.46dB when the waveguide width, the inner Y-branch angle and the center waveguide gap are 4.5${\mu}m$, 0.3 degree and 575${\mu}m$, respectively.

Divide-by-2 and divide-by-4 circuits which can operate up to 10 GHz are designed. A design method used in these circuits is the TSPC(True Single Phase Clocking) topology. The structure of the TSPC dividers is very simple because they need only a single clock and purely consist of smalt sized cmos devices. Through measurements, we find the fact that in proportion to the bias voltage, the free running frequency increases and the operation region also moves toward a higher frequency region. For operating conditions of bias voltage $3.0{\sim}4.0V$, input power 16dBm and dcoffset $1.5{\sim}2.0V$, 5 GHz and 2.5 GHz output signals divided by 2 and 4 are measured. The layout size of the divide-by-2 circuit is about $500{\times}500 um^2$($50{\times}40um^2$ except pad interconnection part).

In this paper, a VCDRO (Voltage Control Dielectric Resonator Oscillator) with low phase noise for X-band application has been designed and fabricated. A low noise and low flicker noise MESFET and a high Q dielectric resonator were selected to obtain good phase noise Performance. Also, a varactor diode having high Q, qualify factor was used to reduce the loading effects and a big Gamma of diode was chosen for linearity of frequency over voltage tuning range. The fabricated circuits was simulated with circuit design tools, ADS to provide the optimum performances. As the measured results of fabricated oscillator, the output power was 5.8 ㏈m at center frequency 12.05㎓ and harmonic suppression -30㏈c, phase noise -114 ㏈c at 100 KHz offset frequency, respectively, and the frequency tuning range as the function of valtage applied to varactor diode was 15.2 MHz and its power variation with frequency was 0.2 ㏈. This oscillator could be available to a local oscillator in X-band.

The microstrip square open loop resonator has been employed to reduce the phase noise in VCO. The microstrip square open loop resonator has the large coupling coefficient value, which makes a high Q value, and has reduced the phase noise of VCO. To increase the tuning range of VCO, varactor diode has been connected at the tunable negative resistance in VCO. The output power and harmonic characteristics of VCO has been obtained 4.83 dBm and -28.83 dBc, respectively. The phase noise of VCO has been $-112.33{\sim}-116.16dBc/Hz$ @ 100 kHz in the tuning range, $5.735{\sim}5.845GHz$.

The purpose of this study was to identify effects of restricted trunk motion on the performances of the maximum vertical jump. Ten healthy males performed normal countermovement jump(NJ) and control type of countermovement jump(CJ), in which subjects were required to restrict trunk motion as much as possible. The results showed 10% decreases of jumping height in CJ compared with NJ, which is primarily due to vertical velocity at take off. NJ with trunk motion produced significantly higher GRF than RJ, especially at the early part of propulsive phase, which resulted from increased moments on hip joint. And these were considered the main factors of performance enhancement in NJ. There were no significant differences in the mechanical outputs on knee and ankle joint between NJ and RJ. With trunk motion restricted, knee joint alternatively played a main role for propulsion, which is contrary on the normal jump that hip joint was highest contributor. And restricted trunk motion resulted in the changes of coordination pattern, knee-hip extension timing compared with normal proximal-distal sequence. In conclusion these results suggest that trunk motion is effective strategy for increasing performance of vertical jumping.

The packet error rates of an optical packet switching node with an optical address processor using an EDFA in order to detect M-ary correlation pulses at a fiber-optical delay line matched filter output have been evaluated. Effects of A PIN diode NEP, the gain and noise figure of the EDFA, and the bandwidth of an optical filter on the packet error rate of the switching node have been compared. There is negligible error rate change depending upon the variation of the PIN diode NEP and the EDFA gain. If the bandwidth of the optical filter is below 10 times of the data rate, there is no appreciable effect on the error rate. If the noise figure of the EDFA increases, however, the power penalty increases as much as the noise figure increment at all the bit rates and for address code sets considered in this work.

An external cavity laser operating at near infrared wavelength is demonstrated by incorporating polymer waveguide Bragg reflectors. 3rd order Bragg grating and oversized rip waveguide structure were designed by using the effective index method and the transmission matrix method. The polymer waveguide was fabricated using polymer materials with refractive indices of 1.462 and 1.435 for the core and the cladding layers, respectively. The external feedback laser with 875-nm Bragg grating exhibits single mode lasing located at 850-nm wavelength with an output power of 0 dBm, a 20-dB bandwidth of 0.2 nm and a side mode suppression ratio of 40 dB.

The effect of gain dispersion on the self-pulsation (SP) characteristics due to the mode beating of two modes emitted in a multisection DFB laser composed of two complex-coupled DFB sections and a phase control section is investigated. When the peak wavelength, ${\lambda}_{p}$, of the gain spectrum of the DFB section is positioned in the center of the lasing wavelengths or the Bragg wavelengths of the two DFB sections, the maximum SP frequencies are higher and the modulation index has better characteristics compared to those cases for ${\lambda}_{p}$ fixed at the lasing wavelength or Bragg wavelength of one DFB section, when the difference between the Bragg wavelengths of the two DFB sections, ${\Dalta}{\lambda}_{B}$, is varied. When ${\lambda}_{p}$ is positioned in the renter of the Bragg wavelengths of the two DFB sections, the maximum SP frequency is higher and of the modulation index has better characteristics compared to those of the case for ${\lambda}_{p}$ positioned in the center of the lasing wavelengths of the two DFB sections.

In this paper, we present the LED dimming control system by using ADPCM (Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation). This ADPCM apparatus accurately controls the LED current with high resolution reducing the RFI (radio frequency interference) due to the spreading out of the harmonics of current of pulses. Additionally, this makes it easier to increase the accuracy of control operation. This study introduces to make a digitally controlled circuit for controlling LED with high-energy efficient by adopting pulse current to LED. The LED current drive system we designed are two systems, the digitally-controlled unit and analog switching mode power supply unit, can be developed separately. The simulation shows the sigma delta modulation of digital to analog converter's output when the input level is 0.7. From this simulation, the output is approached to accurately 0.15% to target value with 510 pulses.
