An 1.485 Gbit/s video signal transmission system using the carrier frequency of H-band(220~325 GHz) was implemented and demonstrated for the first in domestic. The RF front-end was composed of Schottky barrier diode sub-harmonic mixers(SHM) and frequency triplers, and diagonal horn antennas for transmitter and receiver, respectively. The transmitted carrier frequency of 246 GHz was implemented in the H-band, and LO frequencies of H-band SHM is 120 GHz and 126 GHz for transmit and receive chains, respectively. The modulation scheme is ASK(Amplitude Shift Keying) where IF frequency is 5.94 GHz and the envelop detection was used in heterodyne receiver architecture, and direct detection receiver using ZBD(Zero Bias Detector) was implemented as well. The 1.485 Gbit/s video signal with HD-SDI format was successfully transmitted over wireless link distance of 5 m and displayed on HDTV at the transmitted average output power of 20 ${\mu}W$.

In this paper, we have studied the tracking system with a single channel monopulse receiver that has a comparative advantage of costs, size, weight, and power consumption over the general 3-channel monopulse receivers. After the single channel monopulse system was composed of an antenna, a monopulse receiver, a servo unit, a RF signal processor unit and a power supply unit, we analyzed the basic tracking performance of the tracking error angle and the pointing loss. And we proved the tracking performance to a moving target in the outdoor environment. On the Analysis of the tracking test results, the single channel monopulse system shows a equal or higher performance over the general 3-channel monopulse system and also has advantages of the system implementation. Also, it is concluded that this study is useful to apply a single channel monopulse receiver with benefits of production price and miniaturization when the monopulse tracking systems will be developed in the future.

The six-port phase correlator using lumped elements was designed and fabricated in this paper, also the receiving performance of L-band direct conversion receiver using lumped six-port phase correlator element was analyzed. The proposed L-band lumped six-port phase correlator element was composed of a resistive power divider and the twist-wire coaxial cables. The proposed lumped six-port structure provides the small-sized configuration and wide-band characteristics. The performance of the L-band lumped direct conversion receiver structure was measured under the conditions of 1.69 GHz frequency for LO-CW signal and RF-QPSK signal, which are input signals for the lumped six-port phase correlator element. The direct conversion receiving structure using the proposed lumped six-port phase correlator element can recovered the good digital I/Q signal.

In this paper, we propose RF front-end architecture using hybrid conversion method to receive broadband signal. The validity is verified by design, fabrication and experiment. The proposed RF front-end architecture due to up-conversion block improves the deficiency of performance deterioration to be generated through harmonic signal and image signal conversion in the conventional RF front-end, and improves the deficiency of the complexity that is from to adopt a multiple local oscillators for the generation of wideband LO signal in the conventional RF front-end by applying the principle that tuning bandwidth is multiplied at sub-harmonic mixer. Manufactured circuits satisfy the deduced design specification and target standard with gain above 80 dB, noise figure below 6.0 dB and IIP3 performance above -5.0 dBm for the condition of the minimum gain in RF front-end.

In this paper, location recognition algorithm is developed to improve the accuracy using improve Trilateration. The location recognition algorithm is first calculate the location refer to the measured signal power. Error can be occurred when measure distance with arranged node in specific location. If the distance data is received from node (receiver, coordinator), Node selected for location calculation is defined through section. If the distance data is received from node (receiver, coordinator), Node selected for location calculation is defined through section. Second, we apply algorithm of section filtering. If there are 4 sections in node, we consider 1 section to 6 location recognition coordinates. A special characteristic drawback of RF is that the actual distance is actually farther than the calculated received distance data. This is error is incurred when the signal strength increases. We reduce the location recognition error by applying an improved algorithm as secondary after filtering primary through section filtering.

In this paper, we propose the PLL system of the local oscillator system for the millimeter wave band's radio astronomy receiving system. The development of the proposed local oscillator system based on the YIG oscillator VCO with $26.5\~40GHz$ specification. This system consists of the oscillator part including the YIG VCO, the harmonic mixer, and the isolator, the RF processing part including the triplexer, limiter, and RF discrimination processor, and the PLL system including YIG modulator and controller. Based on this configuration, we verify the frequency and power stability of the developed local oscillator system according to some temperature variation. From this test results we confirm the stable output frequency and power characteristic peformance of the developed LO system at constant temperature.

A flat conversion loss in microwave mixer is hard to achieve if integrating with an image rejection filter(IRF). This is due to the change of termination condition with respect to the LO and IF frequency at RF port where the filter has 50 ohm termination property only in the RF band. This paper describes a flatness maintenance in the down mixer concerning a diode matching condition as well as an electrical length of embedding line at RF port. The implemented single balance diode mixer is suitable for a 23 ㎓ European Terrestrial Radio. RF, LO and fixed IF frequency chosen in this paper are 21.2∼22.4 ㎓, 22.4∼23.6 ㎓ and 1.2 ㎓, respectively. The measured results show a conversion loss of 8.5 ㏈, flatness of 1.2 ㏈ p-p, input P1㏈ of 7㏈m, IIP3 of 15.42 ㏈m with nominal LO power level of 10㏈m. The return loss of RF and LO port are less than - 15 ㏈ and - 12 ㏈, respectively and IF port is less than - 6 ㏈. LO/RF and LO/IF isolation are 18 ㏈ and 50 ㏈, respectively. This approach would be a helpful reference for designing up/down converter possessing a filtering element.

This paper presents a wideband single-balanced mixer using a diode which can be used in RF receiver of microwave measurement systems. For wideband characteristic, local oscillator(LO) signal is provided to diode with low loss using a coplanar waveguide-to-slotline balun. For high isolation characteristic radio frequency (RF) port and intermediate frequency (IF) port are designed using directional coupler. This mixer presents 30.5~31.17dB conversion loss whose flatness is within 1dB for 9 kHz~2.6 GHz wideband RF signal, and above 30 dB isolation for LO signal.

A MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) mixer chip using the schottky diode of InGaAs/CaAs p-HEMT process has been developed for receiver down converter of Ka-band. A different approach of MMIC mixer structure is applied for reducing the chip size by the exchange of ports between IF and LO. This MMIC covers with RF (30.6∼31.0㎓)and IF (20.8∼21.2㎓). According to the on-wafer measurement, the MMIC mixer with miniature size of 3.0mm1.5mm demonstrates conversion loss below 7.8㏈, LO-to-RF isolation above 27㏈, LO-to-IF isolation above 19㏈ and RF-to-IF isolation above 39㏈, respectively.
