Cascaded H-bridge multilevel (CHBML) inverters usually include a large number of isolated dc-voltage sources. Some faults in the dc-voltage sources result in unequal cell dc voltages. Unfortunately, the conventional phase-shifted carrier (PSC) PWM method that is widely used for CHBML inverters cannot eliminate low frequency sideband harmonics when the cell dc voltages are not equal. This paper analyzes the principle of sideband harmonic elimination, and proposes an improved PSCPWM that can eliminate low frequency sideband harmonics under the condition of unequal dc voltages. In order to calculate the carrier phases, it is necessary to solve transcendental equations for low frequency sideband harmonic elimination. Therefore, an approach based on the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is presented in this paper. The proposed PSCPWM method enhances the reliability of CHBML inverters. The proposed PSCPWM is not limited to CHBML inverters. It can also be applied to other types of multilevel inverters. Simulation and experimental result obtained from a prototype CHBML inverter verify the theoretical analysis and the achievements made in this paper.

A 10-Gbit/s wireless communication system operating at a carrier frequency of 300 GHz is presented. The modulation scheme is amplitude shift keying in incoherent mode with a high intermediate frequency (IF) of 30 GHz and a bandwidth of 20 GHz for transmitting a 10-Gbit/s baseband (BB) data signal. A single sideband transmission is implemented using a waveguide-tapered 270-GHz high-pass filter with a lower sideband rejection of around 60 dB. This paper presents an all-electronic design of a terahertz communication system, including the major modules of the BB and IF band as well as the RF modules. The wireless link shows that, aided by a clock and data recovery circuit, it can receive $2^7$-1 pseudorandom binary sequence data without error at up to 10 Gbit/s for over 1.2 m using collimating lenses, where the transmitted power is 10 ${\mu}W$.

In this paper, we designed self-frequency synchronizing circuit using image rejection mixer(IRM) and single-sideband(SSB) up-converter which can effectively eliminate the image frequencies occurred in multi-channel super-heterodyne receivers and help us to match inter-channel phase. Also the self-frequency synchronizing circuit simplifies system because there need no extra devices for making intermediate frequency(IF) by creating the local signal within several nanoseconds by means of generating the same frequency of IF signal and modulating radio frequency(RF) signal. We adopt the limiting amplifier for the purpose of protecting the circuit from spurious signals which come from the front end side having wide instantaneous bandwidth characteristics and constantly injecting same level into the input local signal of IRM. The IRM we fabricated has image rejection ratio of 27dB, which is good over 7dB for foreign company's. Also, the SSB up-converter we fabricated has 1dB compression point of 18dBm, which is good over 16dB for foreign company's. And the size is compact about one-forth.

본 논문은 기존 DFT-s-SSB(Discrete Fourier Transform spread Single Sideband) OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템이 가지는 문제점을 해결하는 개선된 DFT-s-SSB OFDM 시스템을 제안한다. 기존 DFT-s-SSB 시스템은 SSB 변조를 적용하기 위하여 PAM(Pulse Amplitude Modulation) 변조를 사용한다. 때문에 변조레벨이 높아질수록 BER(Bit Error Rate) 성능열화가 심각해진다. 그리고 오직 LSB(Lower Sideband) 스펙트럼을 통해서만 송신이 가능하며 LSB와 USB(Upper Sideband) 스펙트럼을 동시에 사용하여 송신하는 경우, 간섭이 발생하고 스펙트럼 복구가 올바르게 이루어지지 않는다. 제안하는 시스템은 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 2/3 convolution coding을 적용하여 BER 성능을 개선하고 DFT 크기를 조절하고 USB 스펙트럼을 선택하는 방법을 제시하여 남은 스펙트럼 자원을 이용할 수 있도록 한다. 또한 다중사용자를 지원하는 환경 혹은 제한적인 대역폭을 갖는 환경에서 이 시스템을 이용하는 경우 스펙트럼을 절반만 사용하기 때문에 남은 스펙트럼 자원을 이용할 수 있고 스펙트럼 효율을 향상시킬 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 링 공진특성을 이용하여 사이드밴드 억압비가 향상된 링 공진기형 필터를 제안하고 구현하였다. 이 링 공진 특성은 직선 전송선로와 링 전송선로의 일부 결합효과로 인하여 발생되며, 이 결합효과는 신호의 전달특성에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 또한, 링의 반지름을 조절하여 가변적으로 채널 선택이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 링 여파기 하단에 링 전송선로를 추가함으로써 대역통과 특성이 조절되는 링 공진 여파기를 구현할 수 있었다. 필터 소자측정 결과, 중심주파수가 약 4 GHz에서 추가 삽입손실 없이 대역폭을 조절할 수 있었다. 출력된 대역통과 특성의 양쪽 사이드밴드에 나타난 미세한 잡음을 추가된 링을 통해 제거시킴으로써, 신호의 진폭억압비를 향상시킬 수 있었고, 필터 시스템의 성능을 결정하는 Qe는 82였으며, 기존 필터보다 105% 향상시킬 수 있었다.

New experiments focusing on the evolution characteristics of nonlinear wave trains were conducted in a large wave flume. A series of wave trains with added sidebands, varying initial steepness, perturbed amplitudes and frequencies, were physically generated in a long wave flume. The experimental results show that the increasing wave steepness, increases the speed of sidebands growth. To study the frequency and phase modulation, the Morlet wavelet transform is adopted to extract the instantaneous frequency of wave trains and the phase functions of each wave component. From the instantaneous frequency, there are local frequency downshifts, even an effective frequency downshift was not observed. The frequency modulation increases with an increase in amplitude modulation, and abrupt changes of instantaneous frequencies occur at the peak modulation. The wrapped phase functions show that in the early stage of the modulation, the phase of the upper sideband first diverges from that of the carrier waves. However, at the later stage, the discrepancy phase from the carrier wave transformed to the lower sideband. The phase deviations appear in the front of the envelope's peaks. Furthermore, the evolution of the instantaneous frequency exhibits an approximate recurrence-type for the experiment with large imposed sidebands, even when the corresponding recurrence is not observed in the Fourier spectrum.

A new method is proposed to generate a 32-tupling frequency millimeter wave (MMW) with eight Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZMs) connected in parallel. Theoretical analyses and simulation experiments are conducted. The optical sideband suppression ratio (OSSR) of the obtained ±16th order optical sidebands are 61.54 dB and 61.42 dB, and the radio frequency spurious suppression ratios (RFSSRs) of the generated 32-tupling frequency MMW are 55.52 dB and 55.27 dB based on the theoretical analysis and simulation experiments, respectively; these outcomes verified the feasibility of the new method. The main parameters used to affect the stability of the generated signal are the modulation index and extinction ratio of MZM. Their effects on the OSSR and RFSSR of the generated signals are investigated when they deviate from their designed values. Compared with the other proposed methods for the generation of 32-tupling frequency MMW by MZM, our method has the best spectral purity and stability, and it is expected to have important MMW over fiber applications.

This paper proposes two kinds of single-balanced direct conversion quadrature receivers using selfoscillating LMVs in which the voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) itself operates as a mixer while generating an oscillation. The two LMVs are complementary coupled and series coupled to generate the quadrature oscillating signals, respectively. Using a 65 nm CMOS technology, the proposed quadrature receivers are designed and simulated. Oscillating at around 2.4 GHz frequency, the complementary coupled quadrature receiver achieves the phase noise of -28 dBc/Hz at 1KHz offset and -109 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency. The other series coupled receiver achieves the phase noise of -31 dBc/Hz at 1KHz offset and -109 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency. The simulated voltage conversion gain of the two single-balanced receivers is 37 dB and 45 dB, respectively. The double-sideband noise figure of the two receivers is 5.3 dB at 1 MHz offset. The quadrature receivers consume about 440 μW dc power from a 1.0-V supply.
