This paper presents the design and analysis of 2.45GHz Low-IF Mixer using CMOS 0.18um. The Mixer is implemented by using the Gilbert-type configuration, current bleeding technique, and the resonating technique for the tail capacitance. And the design of this Double Balance Mixer is based on its lineaity since it is important in the interference cancellation system. The low flicker noise mixer is implemented by incorporating a double balanced Gilber-type configuration, the RF leakage-less current bleeding technique, and Cp resonating technique. The proposed mixer has a simulated conversion gain of 16dB a simulated IIP3 of -3.3dBm and P1dB is -19dBm. A simulated noise figure of 6.9dB at l0MHz and a flicker corner frequency of 510kHz while consuming only 10.65mW od DC power. The layout of Mixer for one-chip design in a 0.18-um TSMC process has 0.474mm$\times$0.39 mm size.

This paper describes characteristics of the single-balanced low IF resistive FET mixer for the digital beam forming(DBF) receiver. This DBF receiver based on the direct conversion method is designed with Low IF I and Q channel. A radio frequency(RF), a local oscillator(LO) and an intermediate frequency(IF) considered in this research are 1950 MHz, 1940 MHz and 10 MHz, respectively. Super low noise HJ FET of NE3210S01 is considered in design. The measured results of the proposed mixer are observed IF output power of -22.8 dBm without spurious signal at 10 MHz, conversion loss of -12.8 dB, isolation characteristics of -20 dB below, 1 dB gain compression point(PldB) of -3.9 dBm, input third order intercept point(IIP3) of 20 dBm, output third order intercept point(OIP3) of 4 dBm and dynamic range of 30 dBm. The proposed mixer has 1.0 dB higher IIP3 than previously published single-balanced resistive and GaAs FET mixers, and has 3.0 dB higher IIP3 and 4.3 dB higher PldB than CMOS mixers. This mixer was fabricated on 0.7874 mm thick microstrip $substrate(\varepsilon_r=2.5)$ and the total size is $123.1\;mm\times107.6\;mm$.

This paper proposes two kinds of single-balanced direct conversion quadrature receivers using selfoscillating LMVs in which the voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) itself operates as a mixer while generating an oscillation. The two LMVs are complementary coupled and series coupled to generate the quadrature oscillating signals, respectively. Using a 65 nm CMOS technology, the proposed quadrature receivers are designed and simulated. Oscillating at around 2.4 GHz frequency, the complementary coupled quadrature receiver achieves the phase noise of -28 dBc/Hz at 1KHz offset and -109 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency. The other series coupled receiver achieves the phase noise of -31 dBc/Hz at 1KHz offset and -109 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency. The simulated voltage conversion gain of the two single-balanced receivers is 37 dB and 45 dB, respectively. The double-sideband noise figure of the two receivers is 5.3 dB at 1 MHz offset. The quadrature receivers consume about 440 μW dc power from a 1.0-V supply.

이 논문에서는 40nm CMOS 공정을 이용하여 제작된 26GHz 가변 이득 증폭기에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 79GHz를 사용하는 자동차 레이더의 경우 주파수 특성상 회로 전체를 79GHz로 설계 및 매칭 하기 보다는 Down conversion 하여 낮은 주파수대역으로 구동하거나 Up conversion 전에 낮은 주파수 대역을 이용하는 것이 설계 및 구동에 유리하다. 실제적으로 TTD(True Time Delay)를 통해 시간지연을 이용하는 Phased Array System 의 경우에도 현재 기술로는 낮은 주파수로 Down conversion하는 것이 오차를 줄이고 실제적 시간지연을 구현하는데 좋다. 79GHz 주파수의 1/3인 26GHz 주파수 대역에서 동작하는 VGA(Variable Gain Amplifier)에 대하여 설계하였고 1-stage의 cascode amplifier 형태로 구성된 회로에서 VDD : 1V, Bias 0.95V, S11은 < -9.8dB(Mea. High gain mode), S22 <-3.6dB(Mea. High gain mode), Gain : 2.69dB(Mea. High gain mode), P1dB : -15 dBm (Mea. High gain mode) 로 설계되었다. Low gain mode 에서는 S11은 < -3.3dB(Mea. Low gain mode), S22 < -8.6dB(Mea. Low gain mode), Gain : 0dB(Mea. Low gain mode), P1dB : -21 dBm (Mea. Low gain mode)로 설계되었다.

Direct-conversion RF front-end for 5-GHz WLAN is implemented in $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The front-end consists of a low noise amplifier, and low flicker noise down-conversion mixers. For the mixer, an inductor is included to resonate out parasitic tail capacitances in the transconductance stage at the operating frequency, thereby improves the flicker noise performance of the mixer, and the overall noise performance of the front-end. The receiver RF front-end has 6.5 dB noise figure, - 13 dBm input IP3, and voltage conversion gain of 20 dB with the power consumption of 30 mW.

The paper presents an investigation into the mode conversion and scattering characteristics of guided waves at delaminations in laminated composite beams. A three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model, which is experimentally verified using data measured by 3D scanning laser vibrometer, is used in the investigation. The study consists of two parts. The first part investigates the excitability of the fundamental anti-symmetric mode ($A_0$) of guided wave in laminated composite beams. It is found that there are some unique phenomena, which do not exist for guided waves in plate structures, make the analysis become more complicated. The phenomena are observed in numerical study using 3D FE simulations. In the second part, several delaminated composite beams are studied numerically to investigate the mode conversion and scattering characteristics of the $A_0$ guided wave at delaminations. Different sizes, locations and through-thickness locations of the delaminations are investigated in detail. The mode conversion and scattering phenomena of guided waves at the delaminations are studied by calculating reflection and transmission coefficients. The results show that the sizes, locations and through-thickness locations of the delaminations have significant effects on the scattering characteristics of guided waves at the delaminations. The results of this research would provide better understanding of guided waves propagation and scattering at the delaminations in the laminated composite beams, and improve the performance of guided wave damage detection methods.

In this paper, an A/D converter is implemented to obtain 8bit resolution at a conversion rate of 10Msample/s. This architecture is proposed using the 2-step architecture for high speed conversion rate. It is consisted of sample/hold circuit, low power comparator, voltage reference circuit and DAC of binary weighted capacitor array. Proposed A/D converter is designed using 0.2$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS technology. The SNR is 45.3dB at a sampling rate of 10MHz with 1.95MHz sine input signal. When an 8bit 10Msample/s A/D converter is simulated, the Differential Nonlinearity / Integral Nonlinearity (DNL/ INL) error are ${\pm}$1 / ${\pm}$2 LSB, respectively. The power consumption is 13㎽ at single +2.5V supply voltage.

본 논문에서는 우수 고조파 Anti-parallel 다이오드 링 혼합기를 이용한 직접변환 수신기를 설계하였다. 설계된 Anti-Parallel 다이오드를 사용한 SHP 혼합기는 LO 신호의 제 2 고조파를 이용한 혼합작용으로 LO신호원을 사용하는 대신에 1/2의 주파수를 갖는 저가의 LO신호원을 이용한다. 따라서, LO신호에 의한 낮은 스퓨리어스 특성과 넓은 주파수 대역에 걸쳐서 우수한 분리도 특성을 나타낸다. 또한, 링 형태의 혼합기는 고유의 LO신호에 대한 고조파 상쇄특성을 가지므로 RF 입력단을 통한 LO신호의 불요복사를 최대한으로 줄일 수 있다. 제작된 Anti-Parallel SHP 혼합기의 LO/IF, RF/IF와 LO/RF 분리도는 각각 24.6dB, 36.2dB 22.5dB로 우수한 특성을 나타내고 있다. 또한 링혼합기의 변환손실은 LO 신호전력이 5.5dBm일때, RF 입력전력 -20dBm에서, IF 출력은 -35.6dBm의 값을 얻었다. 따라서, 링혼합기의 변환손실은 약 15.6dB이고 또한, 1dB 압축점은 0dBm일 때 나타났다.

본 논문은 그룹화된 객체별 깊이정보를 차등 적용한 2D/3D 동영상 변환 기법에 관한 연구이다. 기존의 연구에서는 프레임의 움직임 정보와 기하학적 깊이 단서를 이용해 깊이정보를 추출하여 2D/3D 동영상 변환을 한다. 그러나 영상의 움직임 정보를 획득할 수 없는 영역의 경우 정확한 깊이정보를 얻을 수 없어 해당 영역의 3D 효과를 얻을 수 없는 문제점이 있다. 제안하는 기법에서는 객체 및 배경을 추출하고 움직임 정보와 기하학적 단서를 이용한 깊이정보를 그룹화된 객체별 차등 적용하여 움직임 정보가 없는 영역에서도 3D 효과를 얻을 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 최종적으로 원본 영상과 생성된 깊이맵을 DIBR(Depth Image Based Rendering) 과정을 통해 3D 동영상을 생성한 결과 움직임 정보가 없는 영역에서도 3D 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

In this paper, a broadband double balanced mixer is presented using a wideband Marchand balun implementation by vertical coupler. Frequency is selected as $1.0{\sim}3.7GHz$ for RF, $1.14{\sim}3.84GHz$ for LO, and 140 MHz for IF signals. When LO signal with 7 dBm at 2.64 GHz is injected, a conversion loss of 7.5 dB and RF to LO isolation of -45 dB are obtained. Also, an average conversion loss of 9 dB and RF to LO isolation of -25 dB are obtained for frequency band of $1.0{\sim}3.7GHz$.
