In this paper, a near zero If mixer was designed in cascode structure by using two single-gate FETs. Since it is driven by the second order harmonic of LO signal, a sub-harmonic cascode FET mixer has good LO-RF port isolation characteristic. In order to solve DC offset of a homodyne system, near zero If is used instead of zero If and the mixer is driven by sub-harmonic of LO signal. As RF input power was -30 dBm and LO power was 6 dBm, the designed mixer had 6.7 dB conversion gain, 8.4 dB noise figure, 31.5 dB LO-RF port isolation, -1.9 dBm lIP3 and -2.8 dBm IIP2.

Central Sericultural Research and Training Institute, Mysore have evolved several highly productive bivoltine hybrids which can produce international grade raw silk. Among them $CSR2{\times}CSR4,\;CSR2{\times}CSR5,\;CSR3{\times}CSR6,\;CSR17{\times}CSR16,\;CSR18{\times}CSR19$ and $CSR12{\times}CSR6$ are being popularized in the field. There is a minimum difference in their economic characters but they appear to differ in survival. Though they are productive under high input management conditions, they are very susceptible to different diseases under normal rearing practices. No systematic attempts have been made to test their susceptibility status / resistance. Thus the present study is a modest attempt to screen the above six productive bivoltine hybrids to two important pathogens viz., Bombyx mori Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus (BmNPV) and Bombyx mori Infectious Flacherie Virus (BmIFV) along with existing hybrid, $KA{\times}NB4D2$ to assess their susceptibility / resistance. The results shows that the productive hybrid $CSR2{\times}CSR4$ is the most resistant to BmNPV and it is suggested by its highest $LC_{50}$ value followed by $CSR12{\times}CSR6,\;KA{\times}NB4D2,\;CSR3{\times}CSR6,\;CSR17{\times}CSR16,\;CSR18{\times}CSR19,\;CSR2{\times}CSR5$. Based on the $LC_{50}$ value and $LT_{50}$ values for BmIFV, the hybrid $KA{\times}NB4D2$ was found to be the most resistant (1st position) one followed by $CSR3{\times}CSR6$ (2nd position) $CSR2{\times}CSR$ (3rd position) and $CSR12{\times}CSR6$ (4th position) $CSR17{\times}CSR16$, $CSR18{\times}CSR19$ (5th position) and $CSR2{\times}CSR5$ being the least. The response of 7 bivoltine hybrids to both the pathogens BmNPV and BmIFV indicates that, the hybrids $CSR2{\times}CSR4$, $CSR12{\times}CSR6$ and $KA{\times}NB4D2$ were found to be the most resistant when compared to others. Further, $KA{\times}NB4D2$ being less productive hybrid with a shell ratio of 20.08%, the other two hybrids $CSR2{\times}CSR4$ (Cocoon shell ratio, 21.44%) and $CSR12{\times}CSR6$ (cocoon shell ratio, 23.45%) can be considered to be most productive with superior quality cocoon and resistant to both BmNPV and BmIFV pathogens. The overall study indicated that the hybrid $CSR2{\times}CSR5$ is the most susceptible hybrid to both the pathogens.

In this paper, we have presented millimeter-wave high conversion gain quadruple subharmonic mixers adopting the cascode harmonic generator The subharmonic mixers were successfully integrated by using 0.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ GaAs pseudomorphic HEMTs(PHEMTs) and coplanar waveguide(CPW) structures. Measured output of 1st, 2nd and 4th harmonics of the fabricated cascode 4th harmonic generator are -21.42 dBm, -32.65 dBm and -13.45 dBm, respectively, for an input power of 10 dBm at 14.5 GHz. We showed that the highest conversion gain of 3.4 dB has obtained thus far at a LO power of 13 dBm from the fabricated subharmonic mixers. The millimeter-wave subharmonic mixer also ensure a high degree of isolation showing -53.6 dB in the LO-to-IF and -46.2 dB in the LO-to-RF, respectively, at a frequency of 14.5 GHz. The high conversion gain achieved in this work is the first report among the millimeter-wave subharmonic mixers.

The back-off input power level method is generally used for design of high linear mixer. In this paper, the predistortive mixer design method which attaches the predistortor in front of mixer is proposed to compensate the nonlinear characteristics of mixer and the predistortor has inverse nonlinear characteristics of mixer. The proposed method improves C/I ratio of mixer by 22 dB (@Po=-20 dBm/tone), 21.7 dB(@Po=-17 dBm/tone) with two tones of RF at 1852.5MHz, 1857.5MHz and LO at 2015MHz, respectively.

The nuclear polyhedrosis viruses of Bombyx mori (BmNPV) and Hyphantria cunea (HcNPV) were characterized by electron microscopic observation, SDS-PAGE of polyhedral and virion proteins, and restriction endonuclease analysis of viral DNAs. Polyhedra of BmNPV were octadecahedral in shape with the diameter of $3 \mu\textrm{m}$, whereas those of HcNPV showed irregular appearances having the diameter of $1.5~2\mu\textrm{m}$. Under alkaline protease inactivated condition, polyhedral proteins of two NPVs were resolved into a major polypeptide, 30~31 KD, and several minor polypeptides by SDS-PAGE. Examination of virion proteins by silver staining after SDS-PAGE showed that BmNPV was composed of 47 polypeptides with M.W. range of 9.6~112 KD and HcNPV was composed of 48 polypeptides with M.W. range of 9.4~111 KD. The approximate genome size of two NPVs were determined by restriction endonuclease analysis: BmNPV and HcNPV were 114.6 Kb, respectively.

Effects of the emitter degeneration on linearity have been investigated in SiGe HBT double-balanced up-converters with the Gilbert-cell structure. The emitter-coupled degeneration resistors have been optimized for high P1-dB and IP3 through the nonlinear harmonic-balance simulation. Two types of up-converter MMICs fabricated in $0.35{\mu}m$ Si-BiCMOS process were measured to verify the simulation results. The up-converter without the degeneration resistors produces a P1-dB of -13 dBm with an OIP3 of 3.7 dBm, while the up-converter with the degeneration resistors produces a P1-dB of -10 dBm with an OIP3 of 8.7 dBm.

In this paper, the 3-mode variable gain high power amplifier for a transmitter of INMARSAT-B operating at L-band(1626.5-1646.5 MHz) was developed. This SSPA can amplify 42 dBm in high power mode, 38 dBm in medium power mode and 36 dBm in low power mode for INMARSAT-B. The allowable errol sets +1 dBm as the upper limit and -2 dBm as the lower limit, respectively. To simplify the fabrication process, the whole system is designed by two parts composed of a driving amplifier and a high power amplifier. The HP's MGA-64135 and Motorola's MRF-6401 were used for driving amplifier, and the ERICSSON's PTE-10114 and PTF-10021 for the high power amplifier. The SSPA was fabricated by the RP circuits, the temperature compensation circuits and 3-mode variable gain control circuits and 20 dB parallel coupled-line directional coupler in aluminum housing. In addition, the gain control method was proposed by digital attenuator for 3-mode amplifier. Then il has been experimentally verified that the gain is controlled for single tone signal as well as two tone signals. In this case, the SSPA detects the output power by 20 dB parallel coupled-line directional coupler and phase non-splitter amplifier. The realized SSPA has 41.6 dB, 37.6 dB and 33.2 dB for small signal gain within 20 MHz bandwidth, and the VSWR of input and output port is less than 1.3:1. The minimum value of the 1 dB compression point gets more than 12 dBm for 3-mode variable gain high power amplifier. A typical two tone intermodulation point has 36.5 dBc maximum which is single carrier backed off 3 dB from 1 dB compression point. The maximum output power of 43 dBm was achieved at the 1636.5 MHz. These results reveal a high power of 20 Watt, which was the design target.

In this paper, direct conversion receiver was designed to even harmonic anti-paralled diode pair ring mixer. Using a second harmonic component of LO instead of LO signal and RF signal are mixed by SHP(Sub Harmonic Pumped) mixer with anti-parallel diode pair. Canceling the harmonics of LO signal in ring mixer, SHP mixer using anti-parallel diode pair could mostly reduce the radiation of LO signal through a input port the most, good isolation characteristic, and low spurious characteristic by LO signal was shown over broad band. The produced SHP mixer showed LO/IF, RF/IF and LO/RF isolation was 24.6dB,36.2dB and 22.5dB respectively. And conversion loss was measured 15.6dB, IF output -35.6dBm with -20dBm RF input and 5.5dBm LO signal. 1dB compression point of If signal, in respect to RF signal, was found at the 0dbm RF signal.
