This paper proposes the Reconfigurable Doherty Amplifier(RDA) with asymmetric structure which has ${\lambda}/4$ impedance transformer for modulating the load impedance in peaking amplifier path. This structure is possible to implement a compact size for N-stage multi Doherty amplifier and to get almost same characteristics that is compared to conventional Doherty amplifier. To realize the high efficiency amplifier, we were implemented 45 Watts power amplifier at transmitter band of Wideband Code Division Multiple Access(WCDMA) base-station. As a result, in case of WCDMA 1 Frequency Allocation(FA) input signals, this amplifier has obtained a 26.3% Power Added Efficiency(PAE) at 8 dB back-off point from P1dB and an Adjacent Channel Leakage Power(ACLR) is -40.4 dBc at center frequency ${\pm}5MHz$ deviation.

In this paper, it is analyzed theoretically that the performance degradation, caused by carrier frequency offset, in an OFDM/M-ary PSK system. Then, when Turbo coding is adopted to an OFDM/M-ary PSK system, the degree of performance enhancement is evaluated. Finally, the maximum frequency offset is calculated to satisfy the BER performance required in a Turbo coded OFDM/M-ary PSK system. As results of analysis, it is shown that the more the number of M-ary is, the worse the BER performance is. Moreover, 7dB, 9dB, and 17dB of $E_b/N_o$ are required in QPSK, 8PSK and 16PSK systems, respectively in order to satisfy the error performance, $BER=10^{-3}$ for voice communication. If $E_b/N_o$ are 10㏈ and 15㏈, the frequency offset should be below 0.05 and 0.075, respectively, for voice communication. When Turbo coding is adopted to an OFDM/M-ary PSK system, the less the number of M-ary is, the greater the performance enhancement of Turbo coding is. If the number of a M-ary system of the system is below 16, it is found that required $E_b/N_o$ is about 8dB to satisfy $BER=10^{-5}$ Moreover, in the system the Turbo coding scheme, voice communication is available with greatly low$E_b/N_o$, and 8dB of $E_b/N_o$ is enough for data communication regardless of the permission range of frequency offset.

In this paper, a fast and easy impedance matching method, which could give the impedance matching component for the general 1 or 2-port network was introduced. First, the entire network structure was defined which consists of the network part to be matched and the impedance matching part composed of inductors and capacitors. Next, the transmission matrix and input and output impedances of the entire network from the terminal impedance conditions were calculated, then the exact solutions for the matching components were obtained. To verify the efficiency of this method, this method was applied to the CDMA If band withdrawal weighted SAW transversal filter, and investigated the effects of the impedance matching before and after, through the simulation and experiment. As the result, the performance of a fractional bandwidth of 1.2%, insertion loss of 29 dB, and VSWR of 80 have improved to a factional bandwidth of 1.8％, insertion loss of 9 dB, VSWR of 3 at 85.38 MHz center frequency. The result shows that this impedance matching method could be used in the SAW devices and other types of 1 or 2-port network.

This paper proposes an individual order predistortion linearizer using intermodulation distortion(IMD) generator for cancellation the third and the fifth IMD of power amplifier. The IMD generator for controlling the third and the fifth IMD consist of common Emitter amplifier and Schottky diode. These signals are generated by series feedback of Schottky diode to obtain the inverse AM/AM and AM/PM characteristics of power amplifier. The individual order predistorters are consisted of individual IMD generator, power splitter and combiner. The test results show that the third and the fifth IMD can be improved by a maximum 13.5 dB and 0.9 dB in case of CW 2-tone signals. Also, the Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio(ACLR) can be improved 2.3 dB, 2.5 dB at ${\pm}0.885$ MHz, ${\pm}1.23$ MHz offset frequency for CD-MA IS-95 2FA signals.

TD-SCDMA combines TDMA and CDMA components to provide more efficient use of radio resources, and includes a new feature called HSDPA (high-speed downlink packet access) in the R5 stage. The TD-HSDPA supports high-speed traffic with a shared channel, but the adopted mechanism causes feedback problem for scheduling. In this paper, we propose an improved mechanism that transmits channel quality indicator (CQI) more frequently, so that the TD-HSDPA scheduler can utilize all possible information about the downlink channel status.

TD-SCDMA combines TDMA and CDMA components to provide more efficient use of radio resources, and includes a new feature called HSDPA (high-speed downlink packet access) in the R5 stage. The TD-HSDPA supports high-speed traffic with a shared channel, but its uplink mechanism causes feedback problem for scheduling. Since the base station of TD-SCDMA can estimate the location of mobile terminals precisely, it can also estimate the possible path loss. In this paper, the base station utilizes the estimated path loss for scheduling, which is related with CQI (channel quality indicator) values. The proposed mechanism can provide the TD-HSDPA scheduler with an intial CQI value for efficient transmission.

최근에 전파를 이용한 휴대용 무선기기 수가 급격하게 증가하면서, 그로부터 발사된 전파가 의료기기에 오동작을 일으킬 가능성에 대해 의료관계자나 통신사업자뿐만 아니라, 국민의 관심이 높아지고 있다. 그러므로 신규 휴대용 무선기기를 대상으로 한 의료기기와의 양립성연구는 지속으로 이루어져야 하나 1999년 연구 이후, 국내에는 신규 휴대용 무선기기를 대상으로 한 간섭실험이나 분석자료가 없는 실정이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 최근 WCDMA 및 cdma2000 1x, 그리고 2.4/5GHz 무선랜 등 신규 휴대용 무선기기와 심장박동조절장치, 이식형제세동기를 포함한 의료기기와의 간섭 실험을 수행한 일본의 사례를 살펴본다. 세계적으로 의료기기의 사양이 거의 동일하다는 점을 고려할 때, 본 논문에서 제시한 일본의 실험결과로부터 국내에서 필요한 1차적인 정보를 얻을 수 있으며, 소개된 실험구성도와 실험방법은 향후 관련 국내 연구에 참조자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Amplifier linearity plays a major role in the design of mordern communication systems. An independently controllable AM/AM and AM/PM predistortion linearizers that consists of two bias feed resistance linearizers is proposed. This linearizer allows independent adjustment of the AM/AM and AM/PM curves by using two adjustable voltages to compensate the power amplifier non-linearities. The predistortion linearizer can improve the ACPR by SdB with cdma2000 multi carrier signals. By applying this linearizer to two-tone 880MHz power amplifier, an improvement of adjacent channel leakage power up to 5dBm has been achieved.

Two frequency-reconfigurable antennas have been designed and combined in a space with limited volume, i.e., 40mm ${\times}$ 20mm ${\times}$ 6mm. Each antenna can be reconfigured to operate at different frequency bands depending on the state of an embedded switch, which is implemented using a PIN diode. The first antenna can be switched between 0.82GHz ${\sim}$ 0.96GHz band (GSM/ CDMA) and 1.7GHz ${\sim}$ 2.17GHz band (DCS/ PCS/ WCDMA), which are cellular bands. The second antenna can be switched between 3.4GHz ${\sim}$ 3.6GHz band (mWiMax) and 2.3GHz ${\sim}$ 2.5GHz, 5.15GHz ${\sim}$ 5.35GHz bands (WiBro/ WLAN 11a/b/g/n), which are connectivity bands. The proposed combined antenna operates both over cellular bands and connectivity bands concurrently. The choice of the operation bands is made independently by the states of the two switches.
