  • This paper presents a 6~18 GHz 8-bit true time delay (TTD) circuit. The unit delay circuit is based on m-derived filter with relatively constant group delay. The designed 8-bit TTD is implemented with two single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switches and seven double- pole double-throw (DPDT) switches. The reflection characteristics are improved by using inductors. The designed 8-bit TTD was fabricated using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS. The measured delay control range was 250 ps with 1 ps of delay resolution. The measured RMS group delay error was less than 11 ps at 6~18 GHz. The measured input/output return losses are better than 10 dB. The chip consumes zero power at 1.8 V supply. The chip size is $2.36{\times}1.04mm^2$.

  • In this paper, we designed a four-band antenna that can be applied to WLAN and WiMAX systems by designing a microstrip feeding structure, four branch lines and a slit on the ground plane. The proposed antenna is designed with a size of 16.0 mm (W1) × 48.0 mm (L8) on a dielectric substrate of 18.0 mm (W) × 50.0 mm (L) × 1.0 mm(h). and a slit of 2.9 mm (W7) × 4.0 mm (L7) is inserted into the ground plane of 18.0 mm (W) × 18.7 mm (L6).

  • This paper presents an experimental study on the radio propagation characteristics in subway tunnel at 18GHz frequency band which has been assigned to video transmission between train and wayside. The radio propagation tests are carried out in the subway tunnel of Seoul Metro using the antenna and communication devices of the prototype video transmission system. The measurement results show that 18GHz radio propagation in subway tunnel has smaller path loss than that of general outdoor radio environment. It is also cleared that the arch-type tunnels have smaller radio propagation losses than rectangular tunnels, and single track tunnels have smaller pass loss than double track tunnels. From the measurements, the radio propagation coverage is worked out as 520 meters. The curved tunnels which cannot have LOS communication between transmitter and receiver have large pass losses and fluctuation profile along distance. The radio propagation coverage along curved tunnels is worked out as 300 meters. These investigation results can be used to design the 18GHz radio transmission system for subway tunnel by providing the optimized wayside transmitter locations and handover algorithm customized to the radio propagation characteristics in subway tunnels.

  • For applicating to 10-Gbit/s optical transimission systems, we have designed and fabricated a laser driver IC with extremely-high-operation-frequencies using AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs), and have investigated its performances. Circuits design andsimulation were performed using SPICE and LIBRA. A discrete AlGaAs/GaAs HBT with the emitter area of 1.5*10 .mu.m$^{2}$, used for the circuit fabrication, exhibited cutoff frequency of 63 GHz andmaximum osciallation frquency of 50 GHZ. After fabrication of MMICs, we observed the very wide bandwidth of DC~18 GHz and the S$_{21}$ gain of 17 dB for a laser driver IC from the on-wafer measurement. Metal-packaged laser driver IC showed the excellent eye opening, the modulation currents of 32 mA, the rise/fall time of 40 ps, measured at the data rates of 10-Gbit/s.

  • The Ministry of Information-Communication assigned 18~19GHz frequency band for communication of cabins and platform to link between subway/train and it's station. In this paper, we propose wireless transmission devices which are 2 stage hybrid low noise amplifier of 18GHz band and mixer for 18GHz as well to apply for RF receiver. We designed LNA to be noise matched its 1st stage and gain matched for 2nd stage and mixer using $180^{\circ}$ hybrid coupler to suppress the spurious signal. The transistors of 18 GHz LNA and mixer are NE3210S01 of NEC and KMB-N51-1, respectively. As the result of simulation, we get 19.92dB gain and 2.06dB noise figure with LNA and 8.61dB conversion loss with mixer.
