In this paper, Sub Harmonic Ring Mixer using Anti-Parallel Diode Pair is studied. Conventional mixers mix LO signal with RF signal and, obtain IF signal from the difference between LO and RF. Sub harmonic ring mixers using APDP mix RF signal with the second harmonic of LO signal, LO frequency needed for conventional receiver is reduced by 1/2.The produced mixer showed 12 dB conversion loss, and 1 dB compression point of IF signal, in respect to RF signal, was found at the 0 dBm RF signal. Isolation LO/IF and LO/RF is 24.6 dB and 22.5 dB respectively. Isolation RF/LO and LO/RF is 32.6 dB and 22.5 dB respectively.

It is difficult to adapt modern control theory to power conversion system for the price of real time control H/W and the difficulty of S/W implementation. But recent development of large integrated circuit make it possible that One-Chip microprocessor processes high speed arithmatic calculation used in control theory. Specially this chip is called Digital Signal Processing chip. So, this research developes high performance, high reliable digital control system using TMS320C30 of Texas Instrument for real time control in power conversion system.

This paper presents a direct-conversion I/Q up-mixer block, which supports $3{\sim}5$ GHz ultra-wideband(UWB) applications. It consists of a VI converter, a double-balanced mixer, a RF amplifier, and a differential-to-single signal converter. To achieve wideband characteristics over $3{\sim}5$ GHz frequency range, the double-balanced mixer adopts a shunt-peaking load. The proposed RF amplifier can suppress unwanted common-mode input signals with high linearity. The proposed direct-conversion I/Q up-mixer block is implemented using $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The measured results for three channels show a power gain of $-2{\sim}-9$ dB with a gain flatness of 1dB, a maximum output power level of $-7{\sim}-14.5$ dBm, and a output return loss of more than - 8.8 dB. The current consumption of the fabricated chip is 25.2 mA from a 1.8 V power supply.

Residue Number System is used for the purpose of increasing the speed of processing in the many application parts of Image Processing, Computer Graphic, Neural Computing, Digital Signal Processing etc, since it has the characteristic of parallelism and no carry propagation at each moduli. DRNS has the twice RNS Conversion, it is used to decreases the size of the operator in RNS. But it has a week point on the Second Residue to First Residue Conversion time. So, in this paper SRTFR(Second Residue to First Residue) Converter using MRC(Mixed Radix Conversion) is designed to decrease the size of RTB(Residue to Binary) Converter. Since the proposed SRTFR Converter using MRC(Mixed Rdix Convertion) has a pipeline processing. Also, modular operation is applied to at each partitioned SAM(Subtraction and Addition) and MA(Multiplication and addition). In the following study, the more effective design on MA is needed.

We propose a filter-free wavelength conversion using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with monolithically integrated $2{\times}2$ multimode interference semiconductor optical amplifiers (MMI-SOAs). The device has been optimized by considering a non-homogeneous carrier distribution due to the self-imaging properties of the MMI-SOA. Static measurements show an extinction ratio of up to 18 dB and an input signal rejection ratio of up to 20 dB.

In this paper, we propose a new resolver-to digital(R/D) conversion method, in which a bang-bang type phase comparator is employed for fast tracking. We eliminate from the R/D conversion loop the low-pass filter which is needed to reject carrier signal and noise. Instead, we employ two prefilters outside the R/D conversion loop that take the role of the low-pass filter. Thereby, we can construct a fast and accurate tracking R/D converter. Some simulation and experimental results as well as mathematical performance analysis are presented to demonstrate the superior tracking performance of our R/D converter over conventional tracking R/D converters.

The Schottky barrier diode has been used as an element of the mixer inspite of its conversion loss. In this paper the use of a GaAs MESFET is shown as a device of mixer, and the conversion gain is obtained. Also, input matching circuits aredesigned by s-parameter and fabricated on a dielectric teflon epoxy fiber glass substrate. According to the results, the conversion gain is 9 dB at the signal frequency of 4 GHz and the intermediate frequency of 1.217GHz.

This paper describes new communication methods for transmitting torque commands between the vehicle controller that determines the amount of power generation in a range-extended electric vehicle and the engine controller that performs it. Generally, vehicles use CAN communication, but in this case, the hardware and software of the existing engine controller must be modified. For this reason, it is not easy to apply CAN communication to small and medium sized automotive reorganize companies. Therefore, this research presents a pin-pin communication method for applying the existing mass produced engine controller to range-extended electric vehicles. The pin-pin communication method converts the driver's demand torque control map inside an mass produced engine controller into a virtual accelerator opening position according to the target speed and target torque of the engine, and converts this to a voltage signal for the existing mass produced engine controller to recognize it. The virtual accelerator opening positions are mounted in the form of a control map in the vehicle controller through the reverse conversion process in an offline environment and are determined by the engine generating power requirements and engine optimal operating point algorithm. These algorithms and signal conversion circuits for engine torque transmission have been mounted on the vehicle controller to conduct the virtual accelerator opening position conversion process according to the engine target torque and to establish the virtual accelerator voltage signal using the signal converter.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) is performed by artificial ventilation and thoracic compression for the patient under emergent situation to maintain at least the minimum level of respiration and blood circulation for life survival. Good quality CPR requires monitoring respiration. We developed a system for continuous monitoring respirational signal while CPR, using respirational airflow sensor for CPR. Signal extraction circuit obtains pressure signal while CPR. Obtained signal would be performed analog-digital conversion and changed to airflow value by characteristic formula. Single inspiration and expiration were considered a period. Detected valid data were displayed LCD.

In multi-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging, data is obtained in the spatial frequency domain. Since the signal variation in the spatial frequency domain is much larger than that in the spatial domain, analog-to-digital converts with wide conversion bits are required. In this paper, the quantization noise in magnetic resonance imaging is analyzed. The signal-to-quantization noise ratio(SQNR) in the reconstructed image is derived from the level of quantization in the data acquisition. Since the quantization noise is proportional to the signal amplitude, it becomes more dominant in high field imaging. Using the derived formula the SQNR for several MRI systems are evaluated, and it is shown that the quantization noise can be a limiting factor in high field imaging, especially in three dimensional imaging in magnetic resonance imaging.
