This study introduces an efficient readout circuit designed for two-electrode electrocardiogram (ECG) recording, characterized by its low-noise and low-power consumption attributes. Unlike its three-electrode counterpart, the two-electrode ECG is susceptible to common-mode interference (CMI), causing signal distortion. To counter this, the proposed circuit integrates a common-mode charge pump (CMCP) with a window comparator, allowing for a CMI tolerance of up to 20 V_PP. The CMCP design prevents the activation of electrostatic discharge (ESD) diodes and becomes operational only when CMI surpasses the predetermined range set by the window comparator. This ensures power efficiency and minimizes intermodulation distortion (IMD) arising from switching noise. To maintain ECG signal accuracy, the circuit employs a chopper-stabilized instrumentation amplifier (IA) for low-noise attributes, and to achieve high input impedance, it incorporates a floating high-pass filter (HPF) and a current-feedback instrumentation amplifier (CFIA). This comprehensive design integrates various components, including a QRS peak detector and serial peripheral interface (SPI), into a single 0.18-㎛ CMOS chip occupying 0.54 mm². Experimental evaluations showed a 0.59 µV_RMS noise level within a 1-100 Hz bandwidth and a power draw of 23.83 µW at 1.8 V.

Advanced FeedForward method use Predistortion method and FeedForward method simultaneously. This method better than original Feedforward method in linearity and supply smaller power to pre-power amplifier than different methods, and then it has higher power efficiency and better linearity than original Feedforward method. A linear power amplifier using Advanced feedforward method is designed and fabricated for IMT-2000 transmission system (2110㎒ -2170M㎓). This amplifier's power gain is about 40㏈ and it's 3-rd IMD(Intermodulation distortion) are smaller than about -55㏈c(@ 10MHz).

In this paper, we propose a frequency synthesizer for dualband repeater. The dual-band RF technology for applications to the wireless repeater for CDMA and WCDMA mobile communications has been developed in this paper. The dualband PLL module consisted of dual-band VCO and one PLL IC has been developed. The main technological efforts for the dual-band PLL module is to suppress the intermodulation distortion by applying the miniature ceramic filter using the slow wave characteristics. The dual-band miniature RF module including dual-band PLL module and one MCU controller is very attractive for applications to the miniature dual-band RF mobile repeaters.

In this paper, we identify the memory effect of high power(125W) laterally diffused metal oxide-semiconductor(LDMOS) RF Power Amplifier(PA) by two tone IMD measurement. We measure two tone IMD by changing the tone spacing and the power level. Different asymmetric IMD is founded at different center frequency measurements. We propose the Tapped Delay Line-Neural Network(TDNN) technique as the modeling method of LDMOS PA based on two tone IMD data. TDNN's modeling accuracy is highly reasonable compared to the memoryless adaptive modeling method.

In this paper, Compact Microstrip Resonants Cell(CMRC) have been employed to suppress IMD(Intermodulation Distortion) of the 3-Way Doherty amplifier. This method can not only improve the linearly and the efficiency but also is simpler, smaller and more inexpensive than existing linearly methods; (for example Harmonic feedback, Back off, Feed-forward, Predistortion and so on.) Also, the proposed 3-way Doherty amplifier using only one divider has been reduced size of existing 3-Way Doherty amplifier. As a result, the proposed Doherty amplifier using CMRC and only one divider has been improved for the IMD$_3$ by 4.474dBc, and the PAE by 9.199%, respectively.

Resident mobile communication system technology has been developed. But, surged high voltages in antenna generally have damaged mobile communication. To solve this problem, we use arrester in Rx-Tx line system. That is, the arrester is to protect devices in system against considerable over-voltages or lighting strike. Currently, system protection using of arrester has been arrived in content level but these days, the fact of PIMD(Passive Intermodulation Distortion) which is RF passive components' nonlinear characteristic has appeared. This paper describes PIMD' causes occurred in arrester-estimated from Gas tube capsule, plating, temperature, humidity by experiment.

디지털용 Uncooled DFB 레이저 다이오드를 이용하여 광대역 아날로그 피드포워드 광송신기를 제작하였다. 광송신기의 상호변조왜곡 성분 및 잡음성분을 제거하기 위해 광 피드포워드 보상기법을 사용하였으며, 다중서비스를 위해 $2.05{\sim}2.60$ GHz(550 MHz)에서 상호 변조왜곡 성분이 10 dB 이상 억제되었고, 상대강도잡음은 1.5 dB 이상 억제되었다. 2.3 GHz 에서 3 차 상호변조왜곡성분이 21.3 dB, SFDR 이 7.11 dB 향상된 결과를 얻었다. 또한 단일 모드 광섬유 전송 실험을 통해 전송길이에 따른 3 차 상호변호 왜곡성분의 크기 변화를 확인하였다.

In this paper, a predistortion linearizer using series diode is proposed for linearizing the power amplifier in microwave radio systems. The power amplifier should be operated near saturation region to achieve high efficiency. But at this region, amplitude and phase distortions of the amplifier remarkably increase with the increase of input power and cause a significant adjacent channel interference. The linearizer is composed of a series diode with a parallel capacitor, which provides positive amplitude and negative phase deviations with the increasing input power. This type of linearizer using the nonlinearity of diode has improved the C/I(Carrier to Intermodulation Distortion) ratio well. By applying this linearizer to two-tone 880MHz power amplifier, adjacent channel leakage power is improved up to 5dBm.

The modulation quality of the RF transmitter in a wireless communication system usually affects system performance and it mostly depends on both a nonlinearity and a distortion, from the intermodulation products and the I/Q mismatch such as I/Q amplitude error and a local phase error, respectively. This paper focused on how much the error vector magnitude(EVM) which describes the modulation accuracy changes according to the variation of the I/Q mismatch components at I/Q modulator. For this work, the equation for the EVM including the I/Q mismatch components can be induced and calculated in accordance with the variation of the I/Q mismatch components. Consequently, the effect of I/Q mismatch components on the EVM, which is required in the transmitter specification of Personal Area Network, can be clearly analyzed.
