In the bandpass sampling (BPS), the sampling frequency is lower than the frequency of the signal to be sampled. In this method, the baseband spectrum can be directly obtained by the sampling operation. This makes the frequency down converter unnecessary as well as the receiver's circuit simpler. In the second-order BPS system, two sampling devices are used. When aliasing occurs due to the sampling operation, the aliased component can be cancelled by combining the two sampled signals. In this paper, it is presented a design method of the second-order BPS system when multiple interferences are simultaneously aliased to the signal component. The optimum phase of the interpolant filter is searched for maximizing the signal-to-interference ratio, and a practical formula for the suboptimal phase is derived in terms of the power spectrum profile of the BPS input. A computer simulation has been performed for the proposed second-order BPS system, and it has been shown that the signal-to-interference ratio can be increased by considering multiple aliasing.

In this paper, the front-end of a digital receiver with a 25 kHz carrier frequency, 5 kHz symbol rate, and any excess-bandwidth is designed using two basic facts. The first is known as the uniform sampling theorem, which states that the sampled sequence might not suffer from aliasing even if its sampling rate is lower than the Nyquist sampling rate if the analog signal is a bandpass one. The other fact is that if the sampling rate is 4 times the center frequency of the sampled sequence, the front-end processing complexity can be dramatically reduced due to the half of the sampled sequence to be multiplied by zero in the demixing process. Furthermore, the designed front-end is simplified by introducing sub-filters and sub-sampling sequences. The designed front-end is composed of an A/D converter, which takes samples of a bandpass filtered signal at a 20 kHz rate; a serial-to-parallel converter, which converts a sampled bandpass sequence to 4 parallel sub-sample sequences; 4 sub-filter blocks, which act as a frequency shifter and lowpass filter for a complex sequence; 4 synchronized switches; and 2 adders. The designed front-end dramatically reduces the computational complexity by more than 50% for frequency shifting and lowpass filtering operations since a conventional front-end requires a frequency shifting and two lowpass filtering operations to get one lowpass complex sample, while the proposed front-end requires only four filtering operation to get four lowpass complex samples, which is equivalent to one filtering operation for one sample.

Tunable SC(Switched Capacitor) bandpass ${\Sigma}-{\Delta}$(Sigma-Delta) modulator used in wireless system receiver occurs a signal attenuation according to tuning of center frequency in signal bandwidth. In this paper, tunable bandpass 4th order SC bandpass ${\Sigma}-{\Delta}$ modulator with novel structure is proposed for rejection of signal attenuation in signal bandwidth. The existing structure uses a ten variable coefficient values for rejection of signal reduction in the modulator. But the proposed structure only use a two variable coefficient values for rejection of signal attenuation in the modulator. Also, an adder and comparator is replaced with a comparator having 4 inputs in the modulator. Therefore, the existing structure has one more OP-AMP. The purposed modulator was designed in $0.18\;{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The resolution of the modulator within 310 kHz bandwidth and 40 MHz sampling frequency under 6.67 MHz, 10 MHz and 13.33 MHz intermediate frequency are over 10 bit.

A low power(9 mW) highly-digitized 2.4 GHz receiver for sensor network applications(IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN) is realized by a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. We adopted a novel receiver architecture adding an intermediate frequency (IF) level detection scheme to a low-power complex fifth-order continuous-time(CT) bandpass L:tl modulator in order to digitalize the receiver. By the continuous-time bandpass architecture, the proposed $\Sigma\Delta$ modulator requires no additional anti-aliasing filter in front of the modulator. Using the IF detector, the achieved dynamic range(DR) of the over-all system is 95 dB at a sampling rate of 64 MHz. This modulator has a bandwidth of 2 MHz centered at 2 MHz. The power consumption of this receiver is 9.0 mW with a 1.8 V power supply.

In this paper, Intermediate frequency tunable 4th order Switched Capacitor(SC) bandpass Sigma-Delta(${\Sigma}-{\Delta}$) modulator using feedback integrator using feedback integrator coefficients is proposed. The center frequency of the modulator can be easily changed than conventional structure because of a number of integrator coefficients which is decided rate of capacitors in circuit is reduced. In addition additive clocks and additive clock generating circuit are not necessary. The purposed modulator was implemented in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The resolution of the modulator within 200 kHz bandwidth and 80 MHz sampling frequency under fin = 15 MHz, 20 MHz, 25 MHz are over 12 bit.

Purpose: Electroretinogram(ERG) signal noise as well as conducting other bio-signal measurement were generated. It was intened to enhance the accuracy of retinal-related diagnosis with removing signal noise. Methods: Sampling signal was made with generating 60 Hz noise and white noise. The noise were removed using wavelet transforms and bandpass filter. De-noising frequency was compared with Fourier transform spectrum. Removed noises were compared numerically using SNR(signal to noise ratio). Results: The result compared Fourier transform spectrum was showed that 60 Hz noise removed completely and most of white noise was removed by wavelet transforms. 60 Hz and the white noise remained using bandpass filters. The result compared SNR showed that wavelet transforms was 22.8638 and bandpass filter was 4.0961. Conclusions: Wavelet transform showed less signal distortion in removing noise. ERG signal is expected to improve the accuracy of retinal-related diagnosis.

Oscillations in a sunspot are easily detected through the Doppler velocity observation. Although the sunspot oscillations look erratic, the wavelet analysis show that they consist of successive wave packets which have strong power near three or five minutes. Previous studies found that 3-min oscillation at the chromosphere is a visual pattern of upward propagating acoustic waves along the magnetic field lines. Resent multi-height observations help this like vertical study, however, we also focus on horizontal facet to extend three dimensional understand of sunspot waves. So, we investigate a fragmented sunspot expected to have complex wave profiles according to the positions in the sunspot observed by the Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph. We choose 4 points at different umbral cores as sampling positions to determine coherence of oscillations. The sets of cross-correlation with three and five minutes bandpass filters during a single wave packet reveal interesting results. Na I line show weak correlations with some lags, but Fe I and Ni I have strong correlations with no phase difference over the sunspots. It is more remarkable at Ni I line with 3-min bandpass that all sets of cross-correlation look like the autocorrelation. We can interpret this as sunspot oscillations occur spontaneously over a sunspot at photosphere but not at chromosphere. It implies a larger or deeper origin of 3-min sunspot oscillation.

In this paper, we have presented the improved IF transceiver architecture and the implementation and experimental results on re-configurable transceiver based on digital IF for multiple wideband OFDM/TDD base stations for high-speed portable internet-service in which is issued Korea. The implemented IF transceiver has been designed to support multiple frequency allocations and multiple standards by only modifying the programmable software not its hardware like as the software-defined-radio concept. Also, the digital complex quadrature modulation technique has been used for the digital IF transmitter, which is able to combine multiple frequency bands in digital processing block not RF block and to reject the image frequency signals. And the bandpass sampling technique has been used for the digital IF receiver to reduce the sampling rate of ADC. This paper has shown the experiment results on the frequency response and constellation on the base-station implemented using the modified IEEE 802.16a/e physical layer channel structure based on OFDM/TDD.

본 논문에서는 다중 대역통과 표본화 이론에 기반하여 1.9GHz IS-95신호와 2.2GHz IMT-2000 신호를 하나의 ADC(analog to digital converter)를 사용하여 동시에 표본화하고 디지털 처리를 수행하는 방법을 제안하고 실험을 통하여 검증하였다. 일반적인 방법으로는 본 논문에서 고려하는 두 신호를 동시에 표본화하기 위해서는 표본화 주파수가 최소한 1GHz 이상의 고속의 ADC를 사용해야 한다. 그러나 현재 ADC의 기술은 광대역의 신호를 직접 더지털화하기에는 아직 미흡하다. 반면에 대역통과 표본화 이론은 기존의 상용 ADC와 기콘의 RF 시스템을 이용하여 다른 대역에 위치한 두 신호를 통합처리 할 수 있는 기반을 제공하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 대역통과 표본화 이론에 기반을 두고 상용 ADC를 사용하여 표본화 시스템을 구현하여 IS-95신호와 IMT-2000 신호를 표본화하고 이를 컴퓨터에서 디지털 필터를 이용하여 두 신호를 분리하는 실험을 통하여 다중 대역통과 표본화의 적용 가능성을 검증하였다.

A novel imaging method in which time-division spinning reticle samples different pixel location of input image in different time is presented. The lens collects the beam passing throughthe reticle to a photodetector. Image reconstruction is accomplished by sampling the detector output corresponding to the spinning speed of reticle. Since the time-division reticle system removed the necessity of bandpass filter bank which has sharp cut-off characteristic, high resolution image is obtained without increasing the number of filter. To confirm the validity of this method, a computer simulation and an optical experiment using visual light are presented.
