본 논문은 고효율 전력증폭기는 무선전력전송을 위한 게이트와 드레인 바이어스 조절 회로를 사용하여 설계하였다. 이 조절 회로는 PAE (Power Added Efficiency)를 개선하기 위해 사용되었다. 게이트와 드레인 바이어스 조절 회로는 directional coupler, power detector, and operational amplifier로 구성되어있다. 구동증폭기를 사용하여 고이득 2단 증폭기는 전력증폭기의 낮은 입력단에 사용되었다. 게이트와 드레인 바이어스 조절회로를 사용하여 제안된 전력증폭기는 낮은 전력에서 높은 효율성을 가질 수 있다. PAE는 80.5%까지 향상되었고 출력전력은 40.17dBm이다.

In this paper, the power amplifier using active bias circuits for LDMOS(Lateral Diffused Metal Oxide Semiconductor) MRF-21180 is designed and fabricated. According to change the temperature, the gate voltage of LDMOS is controlled by the fabricated active bias circuits which is made of PNP transistor to suppress drain current. The driving amplifier using MRF-21125 and MRF-21060 is made to drive the LDMOS MRF-21180 power amplifier. The variation of current consumption in the fabricated 60 watt power amplifier has an excellent characteristics of less than 0.1 A, whereas a passive biasing circuit dissipates more than 0.5 A. The implemented power amplifier has the gain over 9 dB, the gain flatness of less than $\pm$0.1 dB and input and output return loss of less than -6 dB over the frequency range 2.11 $\sim$ 2.17 GHz. The DC operation point of this power amplifier at temperature variation 0 $^{\circ}C$ to 60 $^{\circ}C$ is fixed by active bias circuit.

본 논문에서는 구동단의 IMD 특성과 최종단의 IMD 특성을 조절하여 선형성을 개선하는 방법에 대하여 제안을 하였다. WCDMA 4FA의 입력 신호를 사용하였을 때 평균 전력 50W에서 약 -48dBc@5MHz offset의 ACLR 특성을 얻었다. 제안된 역위상화 선형화 기법은 추가적인 선형회로 없이 구동 증폭단을 이용하여 전치왜곡 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 점은 기존 analog predistortion 방식과 feedforward 방식의 단점을 보완하였음에 큰 의미를 가진다.

In this paper, we consider the factors that affect a conversion loss performance in designing a single balanced diode mixer integrated with IRF(Image Reject Filter), based on the embedded electrical wavelength placed between the IRF and mixer, diode matching and LO drive amplifier. To evaluate the conversion loss performance, we suggest two types of a single balanced mixer using 90 degree branch line coupler, microstrip line and schottky diode. One is only mixer and the other is integrated with IRF and LO drive amplifier. The measured results of a single balance diode mixer integrated IRF show the conversion loss of 8.5 dB and the flatness of 1 dB p-p from 21.2 GHz to 22.6 GHz with 10 dBm LO. The measured input PI dB and IIP3 are 7 dBm and 15 dBm respectively under the nominal LO power level of 10dBm. The LO/RF and LO/IF isolation are 22 dB and 50 dB, respectively.

고주파용 transistor를 이용한 광대역증폭기를 hybrid-π 등가회로를 이용하여 상세하게 분석하였다. 저주파와 고주파의 경우에 관한 해석을 하였고 이득과 대역폭및 입력 impedance와 출력 impedance를 주는 식을 유도하였다. 직렬궤환증폭기는 전압원으로 구동하여야하며 저저항부하로 동작시켜야 하고 병렬궤환증폭기는 전류원으로 구동하여야 하며 고저항부하로 동작시켜야 하는 것을 표시하였고 이 두가지 증폭단은 완충증폭단이나 변압기결합을 하지않고 결합시킬 수 있음을 표시하였다.

We propose a method for driving loudspeakers from class D audio power amplifiers in current mode, instead of in conventional voltage mode, which was impossible with the feedback circuitry. Unlike analog audio amplifiers, Class D audio power amplifiers have signal delay between the input and output signals, which makes it difficult to apply the feedback circuitry for current-mode driving. The idea of the pre-distortion scheme used for the compensation of the non-linearity of RF power amplifiers is adapted to remedy the impedance variation effect of the loudspeakers for current driving. The method uses the speaker model for the pre-distorter to compensate for the speaker impedance variation with frequency. The simulation and test results confirms the validity of the proposed method.

This paper describes the development of a Ku-band ($12.25GHz\sim12.75GHz$) SSPA intended as a replacement for TWTAs used in communication satelite transponder. The power stage of the amplifier consists of tow intrmally matched 8W FET divices combined using the branch-line coupler. To operate this stage, the drive stage has been designed with intermally matched 2W, 4W, 8W FET and two medium power FETs. The entire amplifier is made up by a aluminum chassis housing both the RF circuit and the bias circuitry. A regrlator/sequencing circuitry is used for FET biasing. The amplifier results implemented in this way show $41\pm0.3dB$ small-signal gain, 15W saturation power, a typical two tone $IM_3=-21.5dBc$ with single carrier backed off 5dB from saturation, $2^*/dBmax$ AM/PM conversion, and $3.47\pm0.25nsec$ group delay.

A new Predistortor that is designed using Feedforward type is proposed to overcome the nonlinearity of HPA (High Power Amplifier). HPA has the nonlinearity of the gain compression and phase distorton, so digital communication system of multi-carrier TDMA needs the linear RF transmitter. Using IMD (Intermodulation Distortion) of drive amplifier, as Feedforward type, the inverse IMD is coupled to the main loop with variable attenuators, phase shifters, and sub-amplifiers well designed. At the input of main amplifier, the over-coupled IMD surpresses the main amplifier 's IMD. Adjusting the level and phase of IMD at the sub loop, C/I of HPA is better than before correction.

The impedance of an underwater acoustic transducers constituting a multi-channel array structure could be changed in real time by various transmission modes. A power amplifier for driving the transducers usually use a voltage control method, so the transducer and power amplifier may be damaged by over-power due to changeable load conditions. Therefore, the drive controller of the power amplifier should have the function of limiting the power. This paper propose the new voltage control method for limiting the driving power of transducers with variable impedance characteristics.
