  • In this paper, we have studied how to improve the amplifiers efficiency by minimizing the combining loss when several unit power amplifiers are combined to obtain high output power. Specifically, we have developed Ka-band Spatial Combining Amplifier. The fabricated Spatial Combining Amplifier is a Ka-band 20W class SSPA, which uses a 5W class unit amplifier module 8EA designed using a GaN bare die. We also combined The unit amplifier module using 8-way spatial divider and combiner with a hybrid radial structure. The output combining loss of the fabricated spatial coupler is about 0.334dB, which is about 92.6% efficiency. In this paper, we developed a Spatial Combining Amplifier with a maximum saturation output of 10W and a power addition efficiency of over 15%. As a result, we achieved the maximum saturation output of 30W and the power addition efficiency of 19%.

  • To develop the high-value added seafood products from a regional speciality seafood, the seasoned dried pen shell Atrina pectinata adductor (SDPA) and seasoned smoke-dried pen shell adductor (SSPA) samples were prepared, and their optimal processing conditions, quality metrics, and shelf-life characteristics were examined. SDPA and SSPA samples were produced by thawing of frozen pen shell adductor, and cutting it into 6-7 mm slices, hot-air drying ($60^{\circ}C$, 20 min) or smoking ($110^{\circ}C$, 20 min), seasoning ($4^{\circ}C$, 12 h) with seasoning powder (60% sorbitol, 15% sucrose, 16% salt and 9.0% monosodium glutamate), hot-air drying ($60^{\circ}C$, 3 h), torching, vacuum-packaging in a laminated plastic film bag, heat treating with hot-water ($85^{\circ}C$, 15 min), and cooling. The moisture content of SDPA and SSPA samples was 44.5 and 43.0%, respectively, and the water activity was 0.845 and 0.842. The total amino acids in SDPA and SSPA samples were 20,986.8 and 21,312.4 mg/100 g, respectively, and the major amino acids in both products were aspartic acid, serine, glutamic acid, proline, glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, phenylalanine, lysine and arginine. The primary minerals were Na, S, K and P. Incubating tests indicated that the quality of SDPA and SSPA samples was maintained for 30 days of storage.

  • OFDM system is very useful for the multi-path channel and highly bandwidth-efficient system. However, OFDM signal shows the high PAPR so that nonlinear distortion can happen in the HPA(high power amplifier). This paper studies BER performance variation according to IBO(input back off) values when the predistorter is used fur the compensation for the HPA nonlinearity. In case of the SSPA(solid state power amplifier) of nonlinearity parameter p=0.5 and IBO=0㏈, the system with predistorter is poorer than the one without predistorter. But this situation is inverted, if IBO is increased from 0㏈ to 3㏈. So, we can find that there is a threshold value of IBO for the predistorter to effectively compensate for the nonlinear SSPA when the sub-carrier number and p value are changed.

  • The 8W hybrid MIC SSPA has been developed in the frequency range from 14.0 GHz to 14.5 GHz for uplink of KOREASAT's earth station. The whole system was designed of two parts with driving amplifier and high power amplifier to simplify the fabrication process. we reduced weight and volum of power amplifier through arranging the bias circuits in the same housing. The realized SSPA has a small signal gain of $26\pm1dB$within 500 MHz bandwidith, and the input and output return losses are over 7dB and 12dB respectively. The output power of 39.0 ~ 39.2dBm is achieved at the 1dB gain compression point of 14 GHz, 14.25 GHz, and 14.5 GHz. That reveals higher power than 8W of design target. The proposed SSPA manufacture techni- ques in this paper can be applied to the implementation of power amplifiers for some radars and SCPC.

  • Trend on high-power GaN(Gallium Nitride) SSPA(Solid-State Power Amplifier) and its availability in miniature radar systems are presented. There are numerous studies on high-power GaN devices since they have some characteristics of high-breakdown voltage, high power density, and high-temperature stability. Recent scaled GaN technology makes it possible to apply it in SSPAs for W- and G-band applications, with increasing its maximum frequency. In addition, it leads to downsizing and power-efficiency improvement of SSPAs, which means that GaN SSPAs can be available in miniature radar systems. This study also shows radar performance and comparison in the case of using such SSPAs at three frequency bands of Ku, Ka, and W. Finally, we demonstrate prospects of scaled GaN SSPAs in future miniature radar systems.

  • The 25 Watt hybrid MIC SSPA has been developed in the frequency rang from 1.6265 GHz to 1.6465 GHz for uplink of INMARST's earth station. To simplify the fabrication process, the whole system is designed of two parts composed of a friving amplifier and a power amplifier. The Motorolas MRF-6401 is used for driving part, the Motorolas MRF-16006 and MRF-16030 is used the power amplifier. We reduced weight and volume of high power amplifier through arranging the bias circuits in the same housing. The realized SSPA has more than 30 dB for gain within 20 MHz bandwidth, and the voltage standing wave ratios(VSWR) of input and output port are less than 1.7, respectively. The output power of 44 dBm is achieved at the 1 dB gain compression point of 106365 GHz These results reveal a high power amplifier of 25 Watt which is the design target. The Proposed SSPA manufacture techniques in this paper can be applied to the implementation of high power amplifiers for some radars and SCPC.
