In this paper, we propose and design IBFD system based on DCR. And then, we analyze effect of DC offset by self-interference in the proposed system. Also, we evaluate BER performance of the proposed system according to DC offset. As a result of the simulation, we can confirm that when the self-interference is not completely cancelled by the RF cancellation, linearity of desired signal and self-interference is distorted by DC offset. Also, in the proposed system using m-QAM modulation, DC offsets of multi-level are caused by self-interference with m-QAM modulation. As a result, constellations of desired signal and self-interference are greatly distorted. In contrast, in the proposed system using m-PSK modulation, DC offset of single level is caused by self-interference with m-PSK modulation. In this condition, we confirm that distortion of constellations of desired signal and self-interference is less than when using m-QAM modulation. That is, we can confirm that m-PSK modulation is effective than m-QAM modulation in DCR based IBFD system. Also, we can confirm that it is important to cancel self-interference as much as possible in RF-stage.

The six-port direct conversion receiver front-end that is comprised of a carrier recovery and a phase shifter, which gets the same structure with six-port phase correlator using the multi-layer coupled line, was designed and fabricated in this paper. The six-port element that is comprised of the power divider and the hybrid coupler is designed by multi-layer coupled line structure. The multi-coupled structure is utilized as the basic structure in receiver phase correlator, carrier recovery circuit and phase shifter. The receiver front-end with the same multi-layer coupled line structure for the receiver elements shows the simple structure and no difficulty in integration. The fabricated multi-layer coupled six-port receiver front-end re-generates the carrier signal with a constant phase and demodulates the PSK transmission signal.

The PSK carrier signal recovery circuit using multi-layer coupled line was analyzed and designed. The fabricated carrier recovery 6 port element with multi-layer coupled line structure gets the simple architecture. It is possible to implement the carrier signal recovery circuit of the same structure with the multi-layer six port phase correlator of the direct receiver front-end. Based on the analysis of RML carrier recovery circuit using the multi-layer coupled line 6-port phase correlator, the multi-layer coupled line carrier signal recovery structure for multi-mode coherent demodulation was proposed. The fabricated multi-layer coupled line carrier signal recovery circuit for quadrature phase shift-keying shows a good carrier signal characteristic with a constant phase and phase error below ${\pm}3o$.
