We investigate theoretically the tolerance of 40 Gbps phase-modulated (PM) duobinary signals using a vestigial sideband (VSB) filter on impairments which occurred in dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) systems, compared to the conventional duobinary signals. Our simulation results show that PM duobinary signals can't have the gain on the spectral efficiency achieved by utilizing the VSB filtering technique. In order to increase the spectral efficiency, they indispensably require to be transmitted at the optimum bandwidth of multiplexer (MUX) and demultiplexer (DEMUX) since they are susceptible to inter-channel crosstalk. It is also shown that the PM duobinary modulation format has a large tolerance on self-phase modulation (SPM) and cross-phase modulation (XPM) under the condition which MUX and DEMUX have been tuned at an optimum bandwidth; it has 1.2 dB power penalty at the fiber launching power (FLP) of 15 dBm and the channel spacing of 50 GHz.

In this paper, an 1-Watt amplifier for IMT-2000 was designed and fabricated using feedfarward method which has the highest linearity and wide bandwidth. Since feedforward is sensitive to surroundings for example heat, input power level, time and so on, adaptive controller using micro controller is adopted. We fabricated a HPA with 35 dB gain, 40 dBm of 1-dB compression point, and utilized variable attenuator and variable phase shifter using reflection type to cancel loop signal. From the measured results, the fo11owing facts were obtained, in signal loop, main carrier over 35 dB was suppressed and error signal over 30 dB is cancelled in error loop, IMD characteristics above 60 dBc were obtained.

Immediate vicinity of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) is an important place to test general relativity in strong gravity regime. Also, this is a place where mass accretion and jet formation actively occurs at the centers of active galaxies. Theoretical studies predict presence of bright ring-like emission encircling an accreting SMBH with a diameter of about 5 Schwarzschild radii, and a flux depression at the center (i.e., BH shadow). Direct imaging of the BH shadow is accordingly of great importance in modern astrophysics. However, the angular sizes of the horizon-scale structures are desperately small (e.g., ~40-50 microarcseconds (uas) diameter for the nearest best candidates). This poses serious challenges to observe them directly. Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a global network of sensitive radio telescopes operating at 230 GHz (1.3 mm), providing ultra-high angular resolution of 20 uas by cutting-edge very long baseline interferometry techniques. With this resolution, EHT aims to directly image the nearest SMBHs; M87 and the galactic center Sgr $A{\ast}$ (~40-50 uas diameters). In Spring 2017, the EHT collaboration conducted a global campaign of EHT and multiwavelength observations of M87 and Sgr $A{\ast}$, with addition of the phased ALMA to the 1.3mm VLBI array. In this talk, I review results from past mm-VLBI and EHT observations, provide updates on the results from the 2017 campaign, and future perspectives.

This paper propose a new design of directional couplers with the high directivity. The directional coupler is used to check and verify the power, frequency and antenna reflection of a signal at transmission station for the mobile communications. The performance index of the directional coupler is to which the coupling is strong to reduce the effect on the transmitted power and the directivity is high to suppress the interference of the reflected signals and reduce the nor in the communication. Then, the architectures to gain the high directivity and the studies to get the strong coupling have been proposed However, the conventional architectures lot the high directivity and strong coupling have the directivity by about 20㏈ and the difficulty to achieve the higher directivity than 40㏈ suitable for IMT-2000 [1]. This paper proposes an architecture of the directional coupler which is based on the grounding composed of the strip lines and the comparison results with the conventional directional couplers. The comparison results show that the proposed directional coupler has the directivity more than 40 ㏈ and is adequate for the 2.05GHz IMT-2000

Signal performances according link span dispersion compensation conditions at the 2000 km long-haul transmission distance using 10 Gbps 40 wavelength division multiplexing channels were analyzed and compared. 95%, 97.5%, 100%, 102.5% and 105% compensation conditions were applied and 97.5% gave the best performance without post dispersion compensation. the effects of accumulated dispersion value and average dispersion value per transmission link for each link compensation condition were analyzed. When post dispersion compensation optimization was applied to five link span dispersion compensation conditions, 102.5% was given the best performance.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated the Electromagnetic(EM) wave absorber for an Electronic Toll Collection(ETC or Hi-pass) system by using Amorphous metal powder and CPE. The material properties and the absorption properties of the samples containing 50 wt.%, 60 wt.%, 70 wt.%, and 80 wt.% of Amorphous. Moreover, the EM wave absorption abilities were simulated for the different thicknesses of the EM absorbers by adopting the measured permittivity and permeability, and then the EM wave absorber was fabricated based on the simulated design values. As a result, the EM wave absorber with the composition of Amorphous metal powder : CPE = 50 : 50 wt.% with the thickness of 2.6 mm has excellent absorption ability more than 40 dB at 5.8 GHz.

21세기를 지향하여 음성뿐만 아니라 데이터, 나아가서는 화상까지도 쌍방향전송을 가능케하는 고도정보통신, 소위 멀티미디어의 세계가 구현되어 가고 있다. 이 멀티미디어의 세계는 (1)고속$\cdot$대용량, (2)글로벌, (3)모바일(퍼스널)의 키워드로 특징지을 수 있는데, 여기에는 화합물반도체를 베이스로하는 광$\cdot$마이크로파디바이스가 깊이 관련되어 있다. 마이크로파디바이스를 살펴보면 소위 ''텔레데식'' 계획으로 대표되는 다량의 인공위성을 이용한 글로벌한 고속$\cdot$대용량통신에는 30 GHz라는 초고주파기술이 필수이며, HEMT등의 고성능화합물 반도체디바이스가 반드시 필요하다. 또 2.5~10Gbps, 나아가서는 40Gbps의 고속$\cdot$장거리 통신에는 광 디바이스가 결정적인 역할을 하고 있다. 한편 지수 함수적으로 증대하고 있는 정보의 축적은 광디스크의 진보에 힘입은 바가 크다. 보다 많은 대용량 화상데이터의 축적과 읽기$\cdot$쓰기를 할 수 있는 DVD(Digital Versatile Disc)-ROM, DVD-RAM에 대하여도 시장 조성이 목전에 다가오고 있다. 이와 같이 광$\cdot$마이크로파디바이스는 정보$\cdot$통신의 프런트 엔드를 걸머진 중핵디바이스로서 앞으로 멀티미디어를 근간으로 하여 성장해 갈 것으로 생각된다.

Low voltage actuation and high isolation characteristics are key features to be solved in electrostatic RF switch design. Since these parameters in the conventional parallel plate MEMS switch design are in trade-off relation, both requirements cannot be met simultaneously. In vertical comb design, however, the actuation voltage is independent to the vertical separation distance between the contact electrodes. Then, we can design the large separation distance between contact electrodes to get high isolation. We have designed an RF MEMS switch which has -40dB isolation at 5 GHz and 6 V operation voltages. The characteristics of the fabricated switch are being evaluate.
