  • 본 논문에서는 K-band 위성방송다점분배서비스(SMDS)용 하향변환기를 설계하였다. SMDS용 하향변환기는 입력신호 주파수 19.2GHz~20.2GHz에 대한 3단 저잡음 증폭기, 대역통과필터와 고 안정국부발진기 및 드레인 믹서, IF단으로 구성하였다. 저 잡음 증폭단은 28㏈의 이득과 1.5㏈의 잡음지수 특성을 보였으며, 국부 발진기는 고 안정 유전체 공진 발진기로 구성하여 주파수 18.25㎓에서 0.5㏈m의 출력전력과 -84.67㏈c/Hz@10KHz의 위상잡음을 나타내었다. 드레인믹서는 19.2㎓~20.2㎓의 RF신호를 인가하였을 때 950MHz~1950MHz 범위에서 변환이득은 5㏈를 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 설계된 K-대역하향변환기는 SMDS 및 국내 K-band 위성인터넷 규격을 만족시킬 수 있었다.

  • 본 연구는 주파수 체배기 이론을 이용하여 초고주파 항공용 레이다를 위한 3차 고조파 믹서 설계에 대한 연구이다. 기본 믹서 설계 방법과는 달리 주파수 체배기 이론을 이용하여 국부 주파수(LO)의 3차 고조파 성분이 최대가 되는 게이트 바이어스 전압을 선택하여 중간주파수(IF)에서 3차 고조파 혼합(mixing) 성분이 최대가 되도록 하였다. 제안한 고조파 믹서는 플라스틱 패키지의 상용 GaAs MESFET 소자를 이용하여 설계 및 제작하여 기존 초고주파 믹서의 높은 변환손실, 회로 복잡성, 높은 가격 및 제작 복잡도를 개선할 수 있었다. 제안한 설계 방법을 이용한 3차 고조파 믹서는 33 GHz ~ 36 GHz 대역에서 8 ~10 dB 변환손실 특성 및 0 dBm 선형성 (P1dB) 특성을 나타내었다.

  • 본 논문은 SDR(software-defined radio) 시스템에 적용할 수 있는 기술로서, 대역통과 샘플링(bandpass sampling)이론을 사용하여 N개 RF 신호를 하나의 통신기기에서 직접 하향변환(down-conversion)할 때 요구되는 유효 샘플링 주파수 영역(valid sampling frequency range) 및 최소 샘플링 주파수를 찾는 방법을 제안하였다. 이 방식은 IF단의 신호배치에 대한 모든 순열을 고려하면서도 기존의 방식보다 효율적이며 복잡성이 낮은 방식을 새롭게 고안하여 N개의 신호에 대하여 수식을 유도하고 일반화 하였으며 컴퓨터 모의실험(simulation)을 통해 이 수식들을 증명하였다. 그리고 제안한 알고리즘은 샘플링 주파수를 결정할 때 인접 IF(intermediate frequency) 신호간의 보호대역(guard-band)이 고려되어 실제적인 하드웨어 설계 측면에 도움이 되도록 하였다. 또한 기존의 방식과의 비교를 통해 그 복잡성(complexity)및 정확성에서도 우수한 성능을 보여주었다.

  • 본 논문에서는 CMOS IF PLL 주파수합성기를 설계하였다. 설계된 주파수합성기는 칩 외부에 LC 공진 회로를 원하는 값에 맞게 바꿈으로써 다양한 중간 주파수에서 동작 가능하다. VCO는 자동진폭조절 기능을 갖도록 설계하여 LC 공진회로의 Q-factor에 무관하게 일정한 진폭의 출력을 발생한다. 설계된 주파수분주기는 8/9 또는 16/17 dual-modulus prescaler를 포함하며, 다양한 응용분야에 적용 가능하도록 외부 직렬데이터에 의해 동작 주파수를 프로그램할 수 있도록 하였다. 설계된 회로는 0.35㎛ n-well CMOS 공정을 사용하여 제작되었으며, 제작된 IC의 성능을 측정한 결과 260㎒의 동작주파수에서 위상잡음은 -114dBc/Hz@100kHz 이고 lock time은 300㎲보다 작다. 설계된 회로는 3V의 전원전압에서 16mW의 전력을 소모하며, 칩 면적은 730㎛×950㎛이다.

  • The current study investigated CVCC syllables in spontaneous American English speech to find out whether such syllables are produced as phonological units with a string of segments, showing a hierarchical structure. Transcribed data from the Buckeye Speech Corpus was used for the analysis in this study. The result of the current study showed that the constituents within a CVCC syllable as a phonological unit may have phonetic variations (namely, the final coda may undergo deletion). First, voiceless alveolar stops were the most frequently deleted when they occurred as the second final coda consonants of a CVCC syllable; this deletion may be an intermediate process on the way from the abstract form CVCC (with the rime VCC) to the actual pronunciation CVC (with the rime VC), a production strategy employed by some individual speakers. Second, in the internal structure of the rime, the proportion of deletion of the final coda consonant depended on the frequency of the word rather than on the position of postvocalic consonants on the sonority hierarchy. Finally, the segment following the consonant cluster proved to have an effect on the reduction of that cluster; more precisely, the following contrast was observed between obstruents and non-obstruents, reflecting the effect of sonority: when the segment following the consonant cluster was an obstruent, the proportion of deletion of the final coda consonant was increased. Among these results, the effect of word frequency played a critical role for promoting the deletion of the second coda consonant for clusters in CVCC syllables in spontaneous speech. The current study implies that the structure of syllables as phonological units can vary depending on individual speakers' lexical representation.

  • The purpose of this paper is to describe the implementation of monolithically matching circuits, interface circuits, and RF core circuits to the same substrate. We designed and fabricated on-chip 1 to 6 GHz up-conversion and 1 to 8 GHz down-conversion mixers using a 0.8 mm SiGe hetero-junction bipolar transistor (HBT) process technology. To fabricate a SiGe HBT, we used a reduced pressure chemical vapor deposition (RPCVD) system to grow a base epitaxial layer, and we adopted local oxidation of silicon (LOCOS) isolation to separate the device terminals. An up-conversion mixer was implemented on-chip using an intermediate frequency (IF) matching circuit, local oscillator (LO)/radio frequency (RF) wideband matching circuits, LO/IF input balun circuits, and an RF output balun circuit. The measured results of the fabricated up-conversion mixer show a positive power conversion gain from 1 to 6 GHz and a bandwidth of about 4.5 GHz. Also, the down-conversion mixer was implemented on-chip using LO/RF wideband matching circuits, LO/RF input balun circuits, and an IF output balun circuit. The measured results of the fabricated down-conversion mixer show a positive power conversion gain from 1 to 8 GHz and a bandwidth of about 4.5 GHz.

  • The study was carried out in Sahiwal, Holstein Friesian, Jersey and crossbred cattle and Murrah, Bhadwari, Jaffarabadi, Nagpuri and Surti buffaloes maintained at different organized herds to work out the polymorphism at growth hormone locus and study its effect on birth weight. A 223 bp fragment of the gene was amplified and digested with Alu I restriction enzyme. Two alleles, L and V with three genotypes LL, LV and VV were observed in Jersey, Holstein and cross bred cattle. Sahiwal cattle and buffalo were monomorphic for this locus producing only one genotype LL and one allele L. The frequency of L allele was comparatively higher in Holstein and crossbred cattle while in Jersey breed, the frequency of this allele was intermediate. The effect of genotype on birth weight was significant and LV genotype had higher birth weight than other genotypes. Hence, LV genotype in Holstein Friesian favored higher birth weight.

  • A study on the topology optimization of a Hard-Disk-Driver(HDD) actuator arm is presented. The purpose of the present wert is to increase the natural frequency of tole first lateral mode of the HDD actuator arm under the constraint of total moment of inertia, so as to facilitate the position control of the high speed actuator arm. The first lateral mode is an important factor in the position control process. Thus the topology optimization for 2-D model of the HDD actuator arm is considered. A new objective function corresponding to multieigenvalue optimization is suggested to improve the solution of the eigenvalue optimization problem. The material density of the structure is treated as the design variable and the intermediate density is penalized. The effects of different element types and material property functions on the final topology are studied. When the problem is discretized using 8-node element of a uniform density, tole smoothly-varying density field is obtained without checker-board patterns incurred. AS a result of 7he study, an improved design of the HDD actuator arm is suggested. Dynamic characteristics of the suggested design are compared computationally with those of the old design. With the same amount of the moment of inertia, the natural frequency of the first lateral mode of the suggested design is subsequently increased over the existing one.

  • This paper describes characteristics of the single-balanced low IF resistive FET mixer for the digital beam forming(DBF) receiver. This DBF receiver based on the direct conversion method is designed with Low IF I and Q channel. A radio frequency(RF), a local oscillator(LO) and an intermediate frequency(IF) considered in this research are 1950 MHz, 1940 MHz and 10 MHz, respectively. Super low noise HJ FET of NE3210S01 is considered in design. The measured results of the proposed mixer are observed IF output power of -22.8 dBm without spurious signal at 10 MHz, conversion loss of -12.8 dB, isolation characteristics of -20 dB below, 1 dB gain compression point(PldB) of -3.9 dBm, input third order intercept point(IIP3) of 20 dBm, output third order intercept point(OIP3) of 4 dBm and dynamic range of 30 dBm. The proposed mixer has 1.0 dB higher IIP3 than previously published single-balanced resistive and GaAs FET mixers, and has 3.0 dB higher IIP3 and 4.3 dB higher PldB than CMOS mixers. This mixer was fabricated on 0.7874 mm thick microstrip $substrate(\varepsilon_r=2.5)$ and the total size is $123.1\;mm\times107.6\;mm$.
