A 77GHz MMIC transceiver module consisting of a power amplifier, a low noise amplifier, a drive amplifier, a frequency doubler and a down-mixer has been developed for automotive forward-looking radar sensor. The MMIC chip set was fabricated using $0.15{\mu}m$ gate-length InGaAs/InAlAs/GaAs mHEMT process based on 4-inch substrate. The power amplifier demonstrated a measured small signal gain of over 20dB from $76{\sim}77GHz$ with 15.5dBm output power. The chip size is $2mm{\times}2mm$. The low noise amplifier achieved a gain of 20dB in a band between $76{\sim}77\;GHz$ with an output power of 10dBm. The chip size is $2.2mm{\times}2mm$. The driver amplifier exhibited a gain of 23dB over a $76{\sim}77\;GHz$ band with an output power of 13dBm. The chip size is $2.1mm{\times}2mm$. The frequency doubler achieved an output power of -16dBm at 76.5GHz with a conversion gain of -16dB for an input power of 10dBm and a 38.25GHz input frequency. The chip size is $1.2mm{\times}1.2mm$. The down-mixer demonstrated a measured conversion gain of over -9dB. The chip size is $1.3mm{\times}1.9mm$. The transceiver module achieved an output power of 10dBm in a band between $76{\sim}77GHz$ with a receiver P1dB of -28dBm. The module size is $8{\times}9.5{\times}2.4mm^3$. This MMIC transceiver module is suitable for the 77GHz automotive radar systems and related applications in W-band.

In this thesis, to verify input-output characteristics of GaAs MESFET, light is illuminated to C-band oscillator which already designed and manufactured, thus input-output variation of GaAs MESFET is to be shown. Experimental results of two kinds of optical effects, optical tuning and opticla switching, of GaAs MESFET Oscillators are presented. For optical tuning, the Oscillation frequency decreases with optical illumination and the Oscillator power output generally increases with optical illumination, the increase being around 1 to 3 dBm at 1mW/mm\ulcornerlight intensity. While the DC-lingt illuminated Oscillator response data provide information of the optical senditivity of GaAs-MESFET Oscillators. Pulse-light illuminated transient response data can be invoked to understand the detailed optical-electrical interaction mechanisms response. Thus, it is shown that direct control of micro-devices is realisable, if we use optical effect of GaAs semiconductor compound.

This paper presents an ultra-wideband (UWB) CMOS low noise amplifier (LNA) topology that operates in 3.1-10.6GHz band. The common gate structure provides wideband input matching and flattens the passband gain. The proposed UWB amplifier is implemented in 0.18 um CMOS technology for lower band operation mode. Simulation shows a minimum NF of 2.35 dB, a power gain of $18.3{\sim}20\;dB$, better than -10 dB of input and output matching, while consuming 16.4 mW.

In tis paper, w eproposed a modeling for direct-sequence spread communication base band modem in RT-level VHDL and implemented in a one-chip VLSI and tested. The transmitter modulates with DQPSK modulation method and spreads a modulated signal with 32-bit PN code into 1.152MHz. The receiver de-spreads a signal using 32-tap matched filter and recovers with DQPSK demodulation method. The digital frequency synthesizer generates the sine signal and the cosine signal of 2.304MHz with ROM tables in the size of 7$\^$*/256 and 6$\^$*/256, respectively. The implemented VLSI has been verified a BER with 10$\^$-4/ at E$\_$b//N$\_$o/ of 13dB with a SPW fixed design model and fabricated in the 0.8.mu.m KG6423 gate array with a VHDL model.

Hysteresis controllers are intrinsically robust to system parameters, exhibit very high dynamic response and are suitable for simple implementation. But the current control using a conventional hysteresis controller has the disadvantage that high switching frequency may happen due to lack of coordination among individual hysteresis controllers of three phases. This will of course increase the switching loss. In addition, the current error is not strictly limited. So, in this paper to reduce the switching frequency, a double band hysteresis current controller is proposed. The presented control system was tested with digital simulation in the Borland C++ program and demonstrate the advantage of proposed hysteresis current controller.

We calculate theoretical isochrones in a consistent way for five filters near the K-band, K, K', $K_s$, F205W, and F222M. Even when displayed in the same Vega magnitude system, the near-infrared colors of the same isochrone can differ by up to 0.18 mag at its bright end, depending on the filter. We analyze isochrones for several different extinction values, and find that a care is needed when comparing extinction values that are estimated by different filter sets, in particular when comparing those between atmospheric and space filter sets. To alleviate this problem, we present an 'effective extinction law' for each filter set and isochrone model, which describes extinction behaviour of isochrones in the observed color-magnitude diagram.

A fast-sweep broadband FM reflectometer system has been successfully developed and operacted at the DIII-D tokamak, producing reliable density Profiles with excellent spatial (1 $\leq$ cm) and temporal resolution (~100 $\mu$ s). The system uses a solid-state microwave oscillator and an active quadrupler, covering full Q-band frequencies (33~50 GHz) and providing relatively high output power (20~60 mW). The system hardware allows fu11band frequency sweep in 10 $\mu$ s, but due to digitization rate limit on DIII-D, sweep time was limited to 75~100 $\mu$ s. Fast frequency sweep has helped to reduce density fluctuation effects on the reflectometer phase measurements, thus improving reliability for individual sweeps. The fast-sweep system with high spatial and temporal resolution has allowed to measure fast-changing edge density profiles during plasma ELMS and L-H transitions, thus enabling fast-time sca1e physics studies.

Allow me to introduce the development of an FM transmitter. The transmitter uses millmeter waves at the frequency of 60 GHz, and it can produce as much as 20 mW power with the band width of 1 GHz. The great feature of the FM transmitter is that it has been created by the special technique of utilizing the NRD (non radiative dielectric) waveguide. The advantage of adopting the NRD waveguide is that it can significantly reduce transmission loss. We can construct a small-size NRD guide transmitter in a simple way that has superb transmission performance. The NRD guide transmitter is very useful for CATV transmission or transmission over a wide range. In addition, the transmitter has almost the same band width as optical communication, and the data transmission speed of the transmitter is faster than that of optical communication. A transmitter with these merits would be highly appreciated as a way of ultra-highspeed communication network over short distances.

These researches were carried out to investigate the morphology of different species of Trichoderma and the possibilities of differentiation of the species of Trichoderma by electrophoretic methods. Variations between the isolates of a species of Trichoderma indicate the genetical differences, also isozyme and protein patterns will be useful to investigate genetical variations betweens the isolates. It might be possible that distinct bands of isozymes of esterase, phosphotase, catalase, catalase differentiate species of Trichoderma.

We fabricated highly stable a-Si:H solar cell using low band gap intrinsic layer fabricated by RP-CVD. We obtained a-Si:H with optical band gap of less than 1.65 eV with deposition rate of 0.18 $\AA$/sec, and used this material as bottom i-layer of a-Si:H double stacked solar cells. We have succeeded in the fabrication of very stable a-Si:H double stacked solar cell of which the conversion efficiency is about 9% and the degradation is less than 4% after light illumination for 100h under 350mW/cm$^{2}$.
