A frequency stable and tunable optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) incorporating an optical phase shifter and a phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating (PS-FBG) is designed and analyzed. The frequency tunability of the OEO can be realized by using a tunable microwave photonic bandpass filter consisting of a PS-FBG, a phase modulator. The optical phase compensation loop is used to compensate for the phase variations of the RF signal from the OEO by adjusting an optical phase shifter. Simulation results demonstrate that the output RF signals of the OEO can be tuned in a frequency range of 118 MHz to 24.092 GHz. When the ambient temperature fluctuates within ±3.9 ℃, the frequency drifts of the output RF signals are less than 68 Hz, the side-mode suppression ratios are more than 69.39 dB, and the phase noise is less than -92.49 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset frequency.

RF는 사이클로트론에서 빔을 원하는 에너지로 가속하기위해 쓰인다. MC50 사이클로트론에는 두 개의 DEE가 있고 각각 독립된 LLRF모듈과 증폭기를 통해 제어된다. 주요 제어변수는 DEE1,2의 Voltage와 양단간의 Phase인데 이는 RF Generator에서 특정 주파수로 발생된 RF 시그널의 Amplitude와 Phase를 RF Modulator에서 변조하므로 제어되어진다. 지금 현재의 Modulator는 오래되어 DEE Voltage의 컨트롤이 잘 이루어지지 않고 있고 가끔 연결부위에서 문제를 보여 새 Modulator를 제작하게 되었다. 기존의 LLRF는 아날로그 방식인데 아날로그 방식은 외부제어가 어렵고 확장이 쉽지 않아 디지털 제어방식으로 설계하였다. 새 LLRF는 저속처리부와 고속처리부로 두 부분으로 구성하였다. Final amplifier와 cavity의 상태를 체크하는 저속처리부는 PLC로 RF 시그널의 Amplitude와 Phase를 제어하는 고속처리부는 FPGA로 제어할 계획이다.

In this paper we have proposed a new architecture of DQ-IRM(Double-Quadrature Image Rejection Mixer) for image rejection in the low-IF receiver. It consist of a frequency-tunable RF PPF(Poly Phase Filter) and the quadrature mixers. The conventional DQ-IRM generates the quadrature RF signals for the RF wide band at once. But the proposed DQ-IRM with the frequency-tuable RF PPF generates the quadrature RF signals for the narrow band of 2~3 channels bandwidth, which is partitioned from the RF wide band. We designed the CMOS RF tuner for T-DMB(Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) with the proposed 3rd DQ-IRM using a 0.18um CMOS technology and verified the performances of the designed receiver such as the image rejection ratio, the noise figure and the power consumption. The overall NF of the RF tuner is about 1.26 dB and the image reject ratio is about 51 dB. The power consumption is 55.8 mW at 1.8 V supply voltage. The chip area is $3.0{\times}2.5mm^2$.

In this paper, we studied the effect of asymmetrical 3rd order IMD of power amplifier due to changes in modulation frequency on IMD cancellation performance. The phase extraction method for determining asymmetric rate for phase distortion of IMD is proposed and the phase difference between lower and upper 3rd order IMD is measured by this method. The phase compensation circuit to decrease the phase difference is also designed and fabricated. From the measurement results using the phase compensation circuit applied to 5 W RF power amplifier fur PCS applications, the 3rd order IMD cancellation performance can be achieved up to 2-tone spacing 1.5 MHz (phase difference within 10$^{\circ}$).

Bi based superconducting thin films were fabricated by 4-target RF magnetron sputtering using the method of controlling the on-off time. These thin films showed better crystal structures. The ratio of Cu/Bi decreased but the critical temperature increased with increasing the temperature of the substrate. High temperature phase low temperature of the substrate. High temperature phase low temperature phase and semiconducting phase can be formed by controlling the on-off time of the shutter respectively.

Ti-Si-N films were deposited onto WC-Co substrate by a RF-PECVD technique. The deposition behaviors of Ti-Si-N films were investigated by varying the deposition temperature, RF power, and reaction gas ratio (Mx). Ti-Si-N films deposited at 500, 180W, and Mx 60% had a maximum hardness value of 38GPa. The microstructure of films with a maximum hardness was revealed to be a nanocomposite of TiN crystallites penetrated by amorphous silicon nitride phase by HRTEM analyses. The microstructure of maximum hardness with Si content (10 at.%) was revealed to be a nanocomposite of TiN crystallites penetrated by amorphous silicon nitride phase, but to have partly aligned structure of TiN and some inhomogeniety in distribution. and At above 10 at.% Si content, TiN crystallite became finer and more isotropic also thickness of amorphous silicon nitride phase increased at microstructure.

We have transferred highly stable 100 MHz RF through a 23 km fiber network. The fiber-induced phase noise due to the vibration and the temperature fluctuation in the optical path is detected and is compensated by configuring a noise-canceling servo. The transfer instability was $6{\times}10^{14}$ at 1 s of averaging time and $2{\times}10^{-17}$ at 10000 s of averaging time. The single sideband phase noise was greatly reduced by more than 20 dB below the Fourier frequency of 1 kHz. The transferred RF has nearly the same stability as the original reference frequency.

The correction of image artifacts due to misadjustment in tuning of RF coils (tip angle) and in the RF single sideband spectrometer was investigated using phase cycling of the $\pi$/2 and $\pi$ pulses in spin-echo sequences. A general procedure was developed for the systematic design of phase cycles that select desirable coherence transfer pathways. To analyze a phase cycling sequence, changes in the coherence level and phase factor for each RF pulse in the spin-echo cycle must be determined. Four different phase cycling schemes (FIXED, ALTERNATE, FORWARD, REVERSED) to suppress unwanted signal components such as mirror and ghost images were evaluated using two signal acquisitions. When the receiver phase factor is cycled counter-clockwise (REVERSED), these artifacts are completely removed.

A new open structure of the bird-cage RF coil is proposed. By applying in-phase or out-of-phase voltage to the two terminals of the open bird-cage RF coil, desirable level of RF field uniformity has been achieved. Theoretical resonance frequencies of the RF coil has been obtained and compared with experimental ones. The quality factor of the open bird-cage RF coil has been found to be comparable to the one of the conventional RF coil.

A Signal Receiving system to collect and analyze RF signals should be verified under simulated RF signal environment prior to verification on operation in fields and tested by using simulated RF signals in order to estimate its electrical performance. Generally, typical Signal Receiving system can measure, analyze frequency, pulse modulation, scan modulation, phase modulation on pulse, frequency modulation on pulse etc on RF signals. These RF signals should be generated from simulated RF sources in laboratory. Also the simultaneous RF signals should be simulated on laboratory. This paper describes the results of studying effective simulated RF signal source generation, the methods of the precise RF test signal generation in consideration of operational scenario.
