This paper presents an implementation methodology of unified PCS base station system which, is capable of providing PCS services for 3 PCS carriers concurrently. We have built up an unified PCS BTS using a unification module, which is consisted of a multi-channel combiner, duplexer, LNA, power divider, feeder line, and a common set of antennas. PCS unification module is featured with wide-band and high power handling capability and electrical characteristics like insertion loss, isolation have been greatly improved. It was shown that performance of the system in terms of Ec/Io and mobile receive power within the total 30MHz PCS frequency range is uniformly acceptable and measured signal quality and coverage are equivalent to that of the individual PCS base station.

We discussed two main types-conformal and non-conformal (powered) - of holographic combiner. A theoretical model based on the Kogelnik's coupled wave theory was used to illustrate bandwidth and efficiency properties. Also we showed numerical values for the aberrations that are induced by a wavelength shift from construction to reconstruction and found optimum coordinates to reduce the chrolatic aberation of construction beams using aberration balancing techniques. The holographic combiner manufactured in conformal type with 60$^{\circ}$ incidence angle at 514.5 nm had narrow angular bandwidth (FWHM) of 4.1" and spectral bandwidth of 11.4 nm, while non-conformal one with 50$^{\circ}$, 30$^{\circ}$ incidence angle at 514.5 nm showed spectral and angular bandwidth of 10.7 nm and 5.5$^{\circ}$, respectively.vely.

In this paper, to substitute the existing TWTA(Travailing Wave Tube Amplifier) component in small radar system, we developed the Ku band SSPA(Solid-State Power Amplifier) based on the fabrication of power MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) chips. For the development of the 500 W SSPA, the 40 W-grade power MMIC was designed by ADS(Advanced Design System) at Keysight company with UMS GH015 library, and was processed by UMS foundry service. And 70 W main power modules were achieved the 2-way T-junction combiner method by using the 40 W-grade power MMICs. Finally, the 500 W SSPA was fabricated by the wave guide type power divider between the drive power amplifier and power modules, and power combiner with same type between power modules and output port. The electrical properties of this SSPA had 504 W output power, -58.11 dBc spurious, 1.74 °/us phase variation, and -143 dBm/Hz noise level.

A 2watts MMIC(Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits) SSPA(Solid State Power Amplifiers) for 20GHz band communication systems has been designed, manufactured and measured. The 0.15um pHEMT technologywith the gate size of 400um for single device was used for the fabrication of MMIC Power Amplifier chips. The precision MIC patterns for the peripherals like power combiner/divider and microstrip lines were realized using hard substrate for gold wire/ribbon bonding. The measured data shows that this MMIC SSPA has the linear gain of 18dB, output power of 33.42dBm(2.2Watts)at 20~21GHz.

Wireless communication systems, in particular, must operate in a crowded electro-magnetic environmnet where in-band undesired signals are treated as noise by the receiver. These interfering signals are often random but not Gaussian Due to nongaussian noise, the distribution of the observables cannot be specified by a finite set of parameters; instead r-dimensioal sample space (pure noise samples) is equiprobably partitioned into a finite number of disjointed regions using quantiles and a vector quantizer based on training samples. If we assume that the detected symbols are correct, then we can observe the pure noise samples during the training and transmitting mode. The algorithm proposed is based on a piecewise approximation to a regression function based on quantities and conditional partition moments which are estimated by a RMSA (Robbins-Monro Stochastic Approximation) algorithm. In this paper, we develop a diversity combiner with modified detector, called Non-Linear Detector, and the receiver has a differential phase detector in each diversity branch and at the combiner each detector output is proportional to the second power of the envelope of branches. Monte-Carlo simulations were used as means of generating the system performance.

Electrical characteristics of two types of 20 GHz Push-Push GaAs MESFET dielectric resonator oscillators having Wilkinson and T-junction power combiners for the output stage have been investigated. The Push-Push oscillator for suppressing fundamental frequency 10 GHz and enhancing 20 GHz has been designed and realized in microstrip configuration on 20 mil thick RT-Duroid(${\varepsilon}_r$=2.52) teflon substrate. Two different types of power combiners, T-junction and Wilkinson, have been considered. Whenever one type of the combiners has been adopted for the output circuit, output power, phase noise and fundamental frequency suppression characteristics of the oscillator have been measured. When the Wilkinson power combiner was used, a maximum output power of 5.67 dBm, a phase noise of -105.5 dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 100 kHz and a fundamental frequency suppression of -29.33 dBc have been measured. When the T-junction power combiner was used, a maximum output power of -1.17 dBm, a phase noise of -102.2 dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 100 kHz and a fundamental frequency suppression of -17.84 dBc have been measured.

We developed an all-fiber RGB laser light source module for application in an automobile head-up display. It is based on laser diodes and an optical fiber combiner that substantially enhances the flexibility of configuration and stability against harsh working conditions for automobiles. We coupled 13 laser diodes with optical fibers and merged them into a single output with a beam combiner device. Red (R), green (G), and blue (B) laser sources were employed to produce primary colors that were mixed into a white light output. An optical output power of approximately 1.5 W was achieved, and the color balance of the output lights was assessed based on the CIE 1931 color space. The optical output power was shown to be stable for over 160 h within an optical fluctuation of less than 0.27%.

The simple PSK signal generation method using a quadrature hybrid coupler and reflection coefficient elements was analyzed in this paper. The PSK modulation signal with a constant constellation is generated by reflection coefficient from 90o hybrid coupler output ports, the high-mode PSK signal is also generated by the hybrid structure of coupler, delay line and power combiner. The BPSK signal is simply generated by a 90o hybrid coupler and reflection elements, and QPSK with 90o phase constellation is generated by additional delay line and power combiner. By simulation results, the generated PSK signals by the proposed circuit get good modulation spectra within 3o phase error.

outphasing class-E power amplifier using composite right/left-handed transmission lines(CRLH-TL) is proposed at 2.4 GHz. The power combiner including CRLH-TL is designed to suppress the second and third harmonics to increase linearity and the output problem of the conventional outphasing amplifier is also solved by the proposed outphasing amplifier. So the P AE is improved. The measured maximum output power at the fundamental frequency shows 31.8 dBm, whereas the PAE shows 50 % with 14 dBm input power excited. The IMD3 is improved by 5 dB compared to that of conventional outphasing amplifier.
