In this paper a K-band harmonic oscillator competitive to ordinary Push-Push type oscillators is introduced. This oscillator is composed of two-X-band dielectric resonance circuits. To favor its harmonic generation, the load effect and the bias effect are studied to allow the maximum harmonic distortion. As results, the dielectric resonated load and the class A bias are used for the 2nd harmonic generation. analytical study for modelling of voltage controlled dielectric resonator is carried out with theoretical background. The performance of the circuit is evaluated by simulation using harmonic balanced method. The novel structure has ont only a voltage tuning circuit but also an output port at fundamental frequency as the function of prescaler for phase lockede loop application on the just single oscillation structure. In experimentation, the output freqneyc of the 2nd harmonic signal is 20.5GHz and the maximum power level of output is +5.5dBm without additional post amplifiers. the harmonic oscillator exhibits -30dBc of high fundamental frequency rejection without added extra filters. The phase noise of -90dBc/Hz at 100kHz off-carrier has been achieved under free running condition, that satisfies phase noise requirement of IESS 308. The proposed oscillator may be utilized as the clean and stable fixed local oscillator in Transmit Block Upconvertor(TBU) or Low oise Block downconvertor(LNB) for K/Ka-band digital communications and satellite broadcastings.

In this paper, it is designed for 5.8GHz Wireless LAN sub harmonic resistive mixer. Sub harmonic resistive mixer is constituted by advantage of sub harmonic mixer and resistive mixer. Sub harmonic resistive mixers mix harmonics of LO with RF and obtain IF frequency. Therefore, it was possible to use decreasing LO frequency than conventional mixers. And, Sub harmonic resistive mixer has low IMD because of using unbiased channel resistance of GaAs FET. When LO power is 13dBm, the conversion loss of manufactured sub harmonic resistive mixer is 10.67 dB. And IIP3 of mixer is 21.5dBm.

A new kind of resonant impedance type hybrid active filter (RITHAF) is proposed for dynamic harmonic current suppression and high capacity reactive compensation in medium and high voltage systems. This paper analyzed the different performance of the RITHAF when the active part of the RITHAF is controlled as a current source and as a voltage source, respectively. The harmonic suppression function is defined in this paper. The influences of the changes caused by the grid impedance and the detuning of the passive power filter on the compensating characteristics of the RITHAF are studied by analyzing the suppression function. Simulation and industrial application results show that the RITHAF has excellent performances in harmonic suppression and reactive compensation, which is suitable for medium and high voltage systems.

In this paper, a novel anti-islanding method of DC-AC single phase inverter is proposed. The inverter injects a little harmonic current with the output current of a PCS(Power Conditioning System). When the islanding condition is occurred, the voltage harmonic components appear on the output voltage of the PCS due to the injection of a little harmonic current. So, the PCS detects the voltage harmonic components using the Goertzel algorithm, and then the PCS decides that the islanding condition is occurred. When the PCS recognizes the islanding condition, the PCS are stopped. The proposed a novel anti-islanding method is analyzed, and its validity is proven through simulation.

For the purpose of enhancing the performance of the shunt active power filter (APF), this paper presents a novel Fast Weighted Compound Control (FWCC) strategy based on the synchronous frame. In this control strategy, the proposed new repetitive controller can work faster and more stably by reducing the internal model cycle and introducing a damping coefficient. In addition, the harmonic detector can be removed to simplify the structure of the APF owing to the improvements. Furthermore, a proportional-integral (PI) controller is added to work in parallel with the repetitive controller by using a weighted ratio. Then, a convergence speed analysis and design algorithm are given in detail. Simulation and experimental results show that the harmonic distortion is reduced from 2.91% to 1.89%. In addition, the content for each of the characteristic harmonic orders has decreased by more than three times.

In this paper, a novel harmonic control circuit has been proposed for the design of high-efficiency power amplifier with Si LDMOSFET. The proposed harmonic control circuit haying the short impedances for the second- and third-harmonic components has been used to design the in/output matching network. The efficiency enhancement effect of the proposed harmonic control circuit is superior to the class-F or inverse class-F harmonic control circuit. Also, when the proposed harmonic control circuit has been adapted to the input matching network as well as the output matching network, the of ficiency enhancement effect of the proposed power amplifier has increased all the more. The measured maximum power added efficiency (PAE) of the proposed power amplifier is 82.68% at 1.71GHz band. Compared with class-F and inverse class-F amplifiers, the measured maximum PAE of the proposed power amplifier has increased in $5.08{\sim}9.91%$.

Automatic speech recognition is much more difficult in real world. Speech recognition according to SIR (Signal to Interface Ratio) is difficult in situations in which noise of surrounding environment and multi-speaker exists. Therefore, study on main speaker's voice extractions a very important field in speech signal processing in binaural sound. In this paper, we used directional filter and harmonic filter among other existing methods to extract the main speaker's information in binaural sound. The main speaker's voice was extracted using directional filter, and other remaining speaker's information was removed using harmonic filter through main speaker's pitch detection. As a result, voice of the main speaker was enhanced.

This paper presents the modified design that can reject the harmonic signals in the branch-line coupler. After adding open stubs at the center of quarter-wavelength lines of the traditional design, all network parameters can be determined by network equivalence, in order to maintain the conventional function at the operating frequency and suppress its harmonic terms to de chosen. Experimental results show the second and third harmonic suppressions to be -37.5 and -42.7dBs, while maintaining conventional performance at the fundamental frequency.

In this paper, a new 3 dB branch line hybrid using asymmetric spiral-shaped defected ground structure(DGS) microstrip is proposed. The proposed branch line hybrid suppresses the 2nd and the 3rd harmonic component effectively. Also a DGS $\lambda$/4 bias line that can suppress high frequency harmonics as well as low frequency intermodulation component is proposed. With the harmonic termination tuner using the proposed hybrid and the harmonic blocking bias line, the 2nd and the 3rd harmonic components of the fabricated amplifier that operated in IMT-2000 basestation transmitting band were suppressed up 25 dB and 27 dB, respectively. The proposed harmonic load-pull setup of amplifier is more easily accomplished with proposed circuits than the previous.

This paper deals with a millimeter wave source which is utilizing sub-harmonic injection-synchronization technique. A 8.7GHz oscillator with MES-FET is fabricated, and is driven as a harmonic output oscillator at 17.4GHz by means of sub-harmonic injection-synchronization. The oscillator operates as a multiplier as well as oscillator in this system. Adopting this technique, we can obtain a high stable, high frequency millimeter wave source even though self-oscillating frequency of an oscillator is relatively low. In the experiments, the range of injection-synchronization is about 26MHz and is proportional to the input sub-harmonic power. From the spectrum analysis of the 2nd harmonic output. we blow that the phase noise of the harmonic oscillator is remarkably decreased.
