The millirneterwave high-T$_{c}$ superconducting(HTS) down-converter sub-system with the HTS/III-V integrated mixer as the central device is demonstrated first. The constituent components of HTS down-converter sub-system such as a single balanced type integrated mixer with rat-race coupler, a cavity type bandpass filter (26 GHz), and a HTS planar lowpass filter(1 GHz), semiconductor LNA and IF-power amplifier, a driving electronic module for A/D converter, and a Stirling type mini-cooler module were combined into an International stand- and rack of 19-inch. From the RF(-61 dBm, 26.5GHz)and LO signal(-1 dBm, 25.6 GHz), IF signal(0dBm, 0.9 GHz) agreed with simulated results is obtained.d.

We describe the preparation and characterization of epitaxial thin films made with high temperature superconductor, $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$. The influence of processing parameters for YBCO thin films on MgO substrates in-situ grown by the pulsed laser deposition, including parameters of a laser beam energy, oxygen pressure, substrate temperature, target-substrate dis-tance is discussed. The characteristics of YBCO thin films were analyzed by using XRD, R-T measurement, AFM, crosssectional TEM, and RBS. For examples of microwave device applications, The fabrication and characterization of the microstrip lowpass filter and bandpass filter are also presented.

본 눈문에서는 뒤틀림, 응력, 압력[1], 토크, 가속도 등의 물리적인 동적 현상을 측정하여 수집된 데이터를 처리하기 위한 신호처리(Signal Processins) 기능이 결합되어 넓은 용도로 활용할 수 있는 센서 신호 수집 시스템을 구현하였다. 구현된 시스템은 data acquisition board 의 하드웨어와 소프트웨어로 나누어 볼 수 있다. 하드웨어의 구성은 아날로그부, 디지털부, 그리고 시스템 인터페이스 처리부로 되어 있다. 아날로그부에서는 센서신호를 받아서, PGA (Programmable Gain Amplifier)[2]와 Op-Amp를 사용하여 signal conditioning 처리하여 8차 Lowpass Filter 로 보낸다. Filtering 된 신호는 ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) 가 내장되어 있는 PIC(3) microcontroller로 보내져 AD변환과 디지털 신호 처리를 한다. 처리된 신호는 RS232 인터페이스를 통해 호스트 컴퓨터로 보내 사용자가 분석할 수 있도록 한다. 또한 LCD display 실시간으로 확인, 분석할 수 있으며 동시에analog output에서 센서신호의 특징을 분석 할 수 있도록 한다.

The modern multimedia applications which are video processor, video conference or video phone and so forth require real time processing. Because of a large amount of image data, those require high compression performance. In this paper, the prosposed image processing encoder was designed by using wavelet transform encoding. The proposed filter block can process imae data on the high speed because of composing individual function blocks by parallel and compute both highpass and lowpass coefficient in the same clock cycle. When image data is decomposed into multiresolution, the proposed scheme needs external memory and controller to save intermediate results and it can operate within 33MHz.

An algorithm for the reduction of blocking artifacts is pro-posed. Instead of filtering the pixels by a digital filter, the proposed algorithm considers the compressed image as continuous-time ,signal and replaces it by a pre-designed lowpass filter outputs. The algorithm shows better performance than the conventional methods in low activity region, and comparable or a little worse objective performance in high activity region. Hence, by applying the proposed algorithm to the low activity region and the conventional ones to the high activity region, the objective and subjective performances are improved in most cases.

In this paper, a new continuous-time current-mode integrator as basic building block of the low-voltage analog current-mode active filters was proposed. Compared to the current-mode integrator which was proposed by Zele, the proposed current-mode integrator had higher unity gain frequency and output impedance in addition to lower power dissipation. And also, a current-mode third-order lowpass active filter was designed with the proposed current-mode integrator. The designed circuits were fabricated using the ORBIT's 1.2.mu.m double-poly double-metal CMOS n-well process. The experimental resutls of the active filter designed and fabricated for this research have shown that it has the performance of 44.5MHz cutoff frequency, 3.3mW power dissipation and the third-order active filter area was 0.12mm$^{2}$.

We present an average method based on the multirate signal processing and dynamic allocation average for the purpose of monitoring event-related potentials(ERP) and continuously and dynamically. In the proposed method, first, latency shifts are detected through the cross correlation between a current response and the reference response. Then, the multirate signal processing which is composed of up-sampler, lowpass filter, and down sampler is performed to compensate the latency shifts of the reference response, therefore we obtain the reference response with a peak latencies compenated by those of a current response. Finally, the single response is obtained by averaging the compensated reference response and a current response. In the simulation, the results of quantitative evaluation by simulation and the results using linical data are presented. From the result, the proposed method reflects dynamic time-varying ERP more exactly than previous methods and is also effective in consecutive monitoring of ERP.

In this paper, an efficient multipaction analysis method of a manifold multiplexer for satellite applications is presented. While FEM(Finite Element Method) is used for the multipaction analysis of the lowpass filter, the equivalent circuit model is used for the analysis of the channel filters and the manifold. Employing equivalent circuit model for multipaction analysis takes less time than using EM(Electromagnetic) field analysis method while keeping the accuracy of the multipaction analysis. This present analysis method is applied to the manifold multiplexer for Ka-band satellite transponders and the results show that the present method is as accurate as the conventional EM field analysis method.

Signal processing techniques based on fractional order calculus have been successfully applied in analyzing heavy-tailed non-Gaussian signals. It was found that the surface EMG signals from the muscles having nuero-muscular disease are best modeled by using the heavy-tailed non-gaussian random processes. In this regard, this paper describes an application of digital fractional order lowpass differentiators(FOLPD, weighted FOLPD) based on the fractional order calculus in detecting peaks of surface EMG signal. The performances of the FOLPD and WFOLPD are analyzed based on different filter length and varying MUAP wave shape from recorded and simulated surface EMG signals. As a results, the WFOLPD showed better SNR improving factors than the existing WLPD and to be more robust under the various surface EMG signals.

This paper presents a new methodology for designing a dielectric waveguide filter with the cutoff frequency of 2.4 GHz based on the continuum design sensitivity analysis. An analytical sensitivity formula is derived in frequency domain and then unified program architecture applicable to the optimal design of high-frequency devices is proposed. A three-dimensional dielectric resonator used in waveguide filters has been tested to illustrate the validity of the proposed method.
