We report an efficient jitter reduction technique in an analog fier-optic link employing a Mach-Zehnder modulator followed by an erbium-doped fiber amplifier. By adjusting the modulator-bias to $0.089V_{\pi}$, we could increase the RF gain up to 10.65 dB for 10 GHz RF signal and reduce the random jitter by 46.5%, max, at an input optical power of -0.11 dBm to the EDFA.

This paper presents a single-phase energy measurement IC to measure electric power quantities. The entire IC includes two programmable gain amplifiers (PGAs), two ${\sum}{\Delta}$ modulators, a reference circuit, a low-dropout (LDO) regulator, a temperature sensor, a filter unit, a computation engine, a calibration control unit, registers, and an external interface block. The proposed energy measurement IC is fabricated with $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology and housed in a 32-pin quad-flat no-leads (QFN) package. It operates at a clock speed of 4,096 kHz and consumes 10 mW in 3.3 V supply.

We have been implemented 10 Gb/s-320 km of dispersion-shifted fiber (DSF) transmission. The optical link consists of a 10 Gb/s optical transceiver, an optical booster amplifier, 3 sets of optical in-line amplifiers, an optical preamplifier and transmission fibers. Firstly, we investigated the Q-factor characteristics in terms of optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) of 320 km of DSF, measured receiver sensitivity is -27 dBm and power penalty is 2 dB, respectively. We concluded that optical SNR degradation and path penalty gives rise to 1 dB penalty, respectively.

Cooling the electronic equipment is one of the major focal points of the design process and the key to successful product launch. The two-phase loop thermosyphone which is a good candidate among many available options was investigated fur cooling of the high power amplifiers. The system is composed of evaporator which contains 6 parallel cold plates, fan cooled condenser, gas-liquid separator, and interconnecting tubes. Experiments were performed for several refrigerant charging values, hs and as a experiment result, the optimum charging value fur this system was proposed. In order to optimize the system design, the operating cycle pressure and inlet/outlet temperatures of evaporator and condenser are measured and analyzed. The effect of the three parameters such as flow rate and temperature of condenser cooling air, and thermal load on the evaporator are investigated. The lower the operating pressure and the cycle temperatures are also better to prevent the leakage of the system. The system invesigated in this paper can be directly used for cooling of a real unmanned wireless communication station.

A design and control of electrostatic suspension system for flexible objects is presented. A number of electrode pairs of which the number depends on the object flexibility are positioned above the object and the voltages applied to each electrode pair are controlled, independently on the others, on the basis of the gap length. To implement the system with low cost and compactness, switched-voltage control scheme that is based on the relay feedback control is utilized. Relay feedback control method deploys only a single high-voltage power supply that can deliver a DC voltage of positive and/or negative polarity and thus high voltage amplifiers that are costly and bulky are not needed any more. It is shown that despite the inherent limit cycle property of the relay feedback based control, an excellent performance in vibration suppression is attained due to the presence of a relatively large squeeze film damping originating from the electrodes and levitated object. Employing fourteen electrode pairs, a thin aluminum plate with a thickness of 0.1 mm has been suspended at a gap length of 0.75mm.

In this paper, Low Noise Block down converter(LNB) is designed for a Ka-band satellite television receiver only(TVRO) using commercially available MMIC. Designed Low Noise Block down-converter is composed of three stage amplifiers involving input noise matched at first amplification stage, image reject band pass filter, frequency mixer and intermediate frequency amplification. Through LNB Module power budget to obtain gain and attenuation, Optimum LNB devices satisfying Ka-band LNB technical specification are selected. Experimental results of designed Ka-band LNB yields conversion gain of over $58{\pm}1dB$, noise figure of less than 1.5dB and phase noise of -94.6dBc @10KHz.

A switch or circulator is used for distinguishing between the paths of transmitter and receiver in TDD systems. If the isolation between Tx and Rx paths is low in TDD systems, the output signal of the ransmitter acts as an interferer to the receiver even if the transceiver operates on the receiver mode. In this paper we propose a method to get high isolation characteristics between transmitting and receiving paths in TDD systems. We implement the module with a proposed improving method to verify the effect of the isolation improvement and the experimental results are presented. The isolation improvement of above 44.8 dB over the frequency bandwidth of 30 MHz is obtained from the implemented isolation improvement module.

SC-FDE (Single Carrier with Frequency-Domain Equalization), one of physical layers of IEEE802.16, is less sensitive to nonlinear power amplifiers than OFDM while its complexity and performance is comparable. The guard interval length in SC-FDE should be greater than the maximal delay spread. While a delay spread is small in most wireless communication environments, a very large delay spread can be possibly encountered in the mountain areas or due to the repeaters. This paper proposes SC-FDE with variable-length guard intervals. In the proposed method the guard interval length can be determined per each cell or per each subscriber stations.

1996년부터 유럽연합을 중심으로 전자파내성(Electromagnetic immunity; 흔히 군사규격에서는 전자파감응성(electromagnetic susceptibility)이라 함) 규제가 본격적으로 시작될 전망이다. 이러한 전자 파내성 규제는 우리가 과거 '80년대 초에 경험했던 전자파방출(electromagnetic emission; 흔히 electro- magnetic interference 라고도 표현한다) 규제에 비해 규제주파수가 대폭 확장됨(9KHz - 1GHz .rarw. 50/60 Hz - 40 GHz)은 물론, 규제항목도 크게 늘어나기(2개 항목 .rarw. 11개 항목)때문에 본격 규제가 시작되면 우리 산업체에 큰 피해를 초래할 것으로 우려된다. 특히 "복사 전자기장에 대한 전자파내성 요구사항"은 일부 전자파내성 측정항목을 포함하고 있던 안전규 격 등에서도 다루고 있지 않던 것으로서 우리에게는 매우 생소한 항목이다. 이 항목은 과거 미국의 군사 규격등에서 요구했던 항목인데, 앞으로 각국의 상용규격에도 대폭 추가될 것으로 보인다. 이러한 규제는 우리의 생활환경에서 결코 빼놓고 생각할 수 없는, 동시에 가장 큰 전자파장해원인 의도적 복사로서의 방 송신호 및 각종 무선통신 신호에 대해 전기, 전자기기가 전자파내성을 갖고, 성능저하나 오동작을 유발하 지 않아야 함을 요구하는 것이다. 이러한 항목의 평가를 위해서는 대형 시험환경(EMS chamber)과 표준 전자기장 발생장치(signal genera- tors + high power amplifiers), 그리고 오동작 모니터링 장치(monitorring equipments) 등이 필요하기 때 문에 평가시스템 구성에 막대한 비용이 소요된다. 따라서 시스템 구성에 매우 신중을 기해야 하며, 관련 국제표준화규격을 사전에 철저히 이해하여 관련 시험검사를 위한 투자계획을 수립하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 고에서는 복사 전자기장에 대한 대표적인 국제표준화규격을 소개하고, 나아가서 그러한 항목의 평가 시스템의 설계 및 구현에 대해서 설명할 것이다.

In this paper a K-band harmonic oscillator competitive to ordinary Push-Push type oscillators is introduced. This oscillator is composed of two-X-band dielectric resonance circuits. To favor its harmonic generation, the load effect and the bias effect are studied to allow the maximum harmonic distortion. As results, the dielectric resonated load and the class A bias are used for the 2nd harmonic generation. analytical study for modelling of voltage controlled dielectric resonator is carried out with theoretical background. The performance of the circuit is evaluated by simulation using harmonic balanced method. The novel structure has ont only a voltage tuning circuit but also an output port at fundamental frequency as the function of prescaler for phase lockede loop application on the just single oscillation structure. In experimentation, the output freqneyc of the 2nd harmonic signal is 20.5GHz and the maximum power level of output is +5.5dBm without additional post amplifiers. the harmonic oscillator exhibits -30dBc of high fundamental frequency rejection without added extra filters. The phase noise of -90dBc/Hz at 100kHz off-carrier has been achieved under free running condition, that satisfies phase noise requirement of IESS 308. The proposed oscillator may be utilized as the clean and stable fixed local oscillator in Transmit Block Upconvertor(TBU) or Low oise Block downconvertor(LNB) for K/Ka-band digital communications and satellite broadcastings.
