The probability of an oscillation occurrence in M/W frequency conversion repeaters is low on account of the different operating frequency of the input and output signals. The probability of interference caused by the M/W frequency conversion repeaters to other systems is also low because the systems are used in the line-of-sight. Therefore M/W frequency conversion repeaters are generally used for retransmitting the signal received from base station to the islands. This paper describes the design and implementation of analog predistorter for M/W frequency conversion repeaters in mobile communications. The M/W repeaters convert IF frequency of 1010+/-10MHz to RF frequency of 11GHz. A predistorter can be designed for the M/W repeater operating in either IF or M/W frequency. In this paper IF predistorter operated in 1010MHz is designed and implemented because a M/W predistorter operated in 11GHz is difficult to implement. The IF predistorter can linearize RF modules in the repeater followed by IF stages. The performance test results show that the implemented analog predistorter improves ACPR of 10dB at the output power of 25dBm with the signal frequency of 10.805GHz.

We propose a BASK (Binary Amplitude Shift Keying) system for Giga-bit Modem in millimeter band. The proposed system consists of a high speed shutter of the transmitter and a repeater of the receiver. The shutter of the proposed system is introduced for pulse shaping to improve the intersymbol interference (ISI). The repeater consists of several stage converters. A converter is constructed with a low pass filter and a limiter. The repeater can improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and make the rectangular pulse train. The proposed system is a simple system that uses conversion method without IF (Intermediate Frequency) process.
