Photomixing techniques beating two optical signals with different wavelengths and strong correlations are also very useful techniques to make a continuous wave(CW) signals in the range of millimeter(mm) and terahertz(THz) frequencies. An optical double sideband-suppressed carrier(DSB-SC) technique is one of the popular techniques to generate two optical signals with different wavelengths and strong correlations. DSB-SC signals with strong correlations are generated by a CW modulation of an optical carrier with a local oscillator and an optical modulator. In the previous parers related the DSB-SC for producing the CW signals within the range of mm and THz frequencies, there have been no reports why the optical carrier should suppress. In order to clear that, we have analyzed and measured the characteristics of the mm-wave CW signals made by the DSB-SC photomixing in this paper. From our analysis and measurement results, compared with the case of the DSB with the maximized optical carrier, the power and phase noise have improved about 23.9 dB and 21 dBc/Hz(@ 1 MHz offset frequency) in the case of the DSB with the minimized optical carrier (that is to say, the DSB-SC). Consequently, it is evident reason that the optical carrier should sufficiently suppress to obtain the mm-wave CW signals with the high power and low noise. This paper has given very helpful data to make mm- and THz-wave CW signals using photomixing techniques with the DSB-SC because the reason why the optical carrier should be suppressed is reported in this paper based on the numerical and experimental results.

In this paper, we have proposed and experimentally performed a polarization and phase control method of an optical signal which has same wavelength with the optical carrier to improve phase characteristics of a continuous wave(CW) generated by the double sideband-suppressed carrier(DSB-SC) as one of the famous photomixing technique for making sub-millimeter and terahertz waves. A polarization and phase controlled optical signal has been coupled with the general DSB-SC on an optical coupler. The output of the optical coupler is then photomixed by a photomixer. From our analysis and measurement results, we have found that the amplitude of the generated sub-mm and terahertz CW signal is higher 1.5 dB and the phase noise is lower about 3 dB@10 kHz offset frequency than the general DSBSC. Consequently, since our proposed method has improved the amplitude and phase noise of CW signals in the sub-mm and terahertz bands, it can be helpful results to make low cost CW generator in sub-millimeter and subterahertz bands.

This paper presents theoretical analysis and experimental results on an improved interference rejection circuit in the presence of continuous wave interference at center frequency, particularly in a wide-band communication systems. This circuit is based upon a phase locked loop for estimating the CW interference phase and the MSE technique to minimize the estimation error. Therefore, the introduced rejection circuit that minimized the estimated phase error outperforms the rejection circuit with phase estimation only. As a result of experiment, we confirm that this proposed rejection circuit gives a high degree of interference rejection performances when the input J/S is large.

Continuous wave (CW) radar has the advantage of reliability and accuracy compared to other sensors such as camera and lidar. In addition, binarized neural network (BNN) has a characteristic that dramatically reduces memory usage and complexity compared to other deep learning networks. Therefore, this paper proposes binarized neural network based human identification and motion classification system using CW radar. After receiving a signal from CW radar, a spectrogram is generated through a short-time Fourier transform (STFT). Based on this spectrogram, we propose an algorithm that detects whether a person approaches a radar. Also, we designed an optimized BNN model that can support the accuracy of 90.0% for human identification and 98.3% for motion classification. In order to accelerate BNN operation, we designed BNN hardware accelerator on field programmable gate array (FPGA). The accelerator was implemented with 1,030 logics, 836 registers, and 334.904 Kbit block memory, and it was confirmed that the real-time operation was possible with a total calculation time of 6 ms from inference to transferring result.

새로운 전파자원으로서 초고속 무선통신뿐만 아니라 분광, 센싱, 이미징 등 여러 분야에서 다양한 응용이 기대되는 연속 밀리미터파와 테라헤르츠-파에 대한 발생 및 응용기술을 논하였다. 밀리미터파의 경우 전자소자를 이용한 방법을 주로 사용하지만, 테라헤르츠-파는 전자 및 광기술을 모두 사용하여 발생시킬 수 있다. 본 글에서는 광학적 방식을 이용한 연속 밀리미터/테라헤르츠-파의 발생기술과 이를 이용한 응용기술에 대하여 논하였다. 최근 고출력 PD의 기술발전에 따라 광학적 발생방식의 밀리미터/테라헤르츠-파를 이용한 CW 분광 측정이 유용할 것으로 보인다. 현 단계에서 1THz에서의 최대 가용 출력은 약 $10{\mu}W$ 정도이나, 포화전류와 열 관리 문제를 해결하고 PD 성능의 개선을 함으로써, 단일 소자에서 1THz에 대한 최대 가용출력이 $100{\mu}W$ 수준이 될 것으로 기대된다. 연속 밀리미터/테라헤르츠-파 분광법은 더욱 정밀하고, 다양하며 경제적인 분광 시스템 기술에 크게 기여할 것으로 전망된다.

This letter presents the signal processing of a CW radar (Continuous Wave or Doppler radar) sensor which enables the radar to detect the multiple targets' approaching and retreating using both I and Q channels. The proposed algorithm utilizes the phase change of the Quadrature signal, which occurs when targets move back and forth from the radar. The verification is carried out with the board containing a commercially available MMIC chip and an MCU by analyzing the received data from MMIC. Also the proposed algorithm is downloaded to MCU and the approaching and retreating movement is confirmed. The CW frequency is 24.125 GHz and the transmitter output power used is 7.2 dBm. Detectable distance is about 12 m.

The paper reviews an improved continuous-wave (CW) terahertz (THz) imaging system developed for nondestructive inspection, such as CW-THz quasi-time-domain spectroscopy (QTDS) and interferometry. First, a comparison between CW and pulsed THz imaging systems is reported. The CW-THz imaging system is a simple, fast, compact, and relatively low-cost system. However, it only provides intensity data, without depth and frequency- or time-domain information. The pulsed THz imaging system yields a broader range of information, but it is expensive because of the femtosecond laser. Recently, to overcome the drawbacks of CW-THz imaging systems, many studies have been conducted, including a study on the QTDS system. In this system, an optical delay line is added to the optical arm leading to the detector. Another system studied is a CW-THz interferometric imaging system, which combines the CW-THz imaging system and far-infrared interferometer system. These systems commonly obtain depth information despite the CW-THz system. Reportedly, these systems can be successfully applied to fields where pulsed THz is used. Lastly, the applicability of these systems for nondestructive inspection was confirmed.

This paper presents a new image rejection algorithm based on the analysis of the distortion of a single-frequency continuous-wave (CW) signal due to the I/Q mismatch. Existing methods estimated the gain mismatch and phase mismatch on RF receivers and compensated them However, this paper shows that the circular trajectory of a single-frequency CW signal is distorted elliptic-type trajectory due to the I/Q mismatch. Utilizing the analysis, we propose a I/Q mismatch compensation method. It has two processing steps. In the first processing step, the generated signal is rotated to align the major axis of the elliptic-type trajectory diagram with the x-axis. In the second processing step, the Q-channel signal in the regenerated signal is scaled to align the regenerated signal with the transmitted single-frequency CW signal. Simulation results show that a receiver using the proposed image rejection algorithm can achieve an image rejection ratio of more than 70dB. And, simulation results show that the bit error rate performances of receivers using the proposed image rejection algorithm are almost the same as those of conventional coherent demodulators, even in fading channels.
