The multi-function radar can detect and track the low RCS targets. For this purpose the multi-function radar uses the pulse train waveform. because this waveform has high dynamic range and good SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio). But the spurious signals can also be detected by processing the pulse train waveform. Thus the multi-function radar signal processor must have the high SFDR(Spurious Free Dynamic Range). This paper describes the development of the multi-function radar signal processor having the high SFDR.

In this paper, we present an incoherent dual-parallel modulation linearized optical link employing two different optical wavelengths. Comparing with previous dual-parallel modulation, this linearization method prevents the recreation of distortion products and can be readily implemented. Furthermore, a dual-wavelength dual-parallel modulation linearized optical link constructed with the commercially available devices is experimentally demonstrated with a spurious-free dynamic range of $122.5dB.Hz^{4/5}$. More than 25 dB suppression of the intermodulation distortion, 15.6 dB improvement of spurious-free dynamic range and 1.5 dB improvement of compression dynamic range are achieved after linearization.

In modern radars, dynamic range requirements far severed due to high CNR(Clutter-to-Noise Ratio) environment operation scenario. ADC spurious signal restricted the required dynamic range. In this paper, receiver gain of active phased array radar dependent on ADC nonlinear characteristic was analyzed. Within limited scope of ADC SFDR which blocks required system dynamic range, ADC dynamic range reaches trade-off with ADC SNR loss. Comparing antenna stage output noise voltage to that of ADC input, receiver gain was mathematically analyzed. Finally the whole contents were explained from the application example.

In this article, we have designed SHA, which has 12 Bit resolution at an input signal range of 1 $V_{pp}$ and operates at a sampling speed of 100 MS/s in order to use at front of high speed ADC. SFDR(Spurious Free Dynamic Range) of the proposed system drops to approximately 66.3 dB resolution when the input frequency is 5 MHz, and the sampling frequency is 100 MHz, however, the circuit without a feedthrough has 12 bit resolution with approximately 73 dB.

This paper presents the development of InGaAsP multiple quantum well asymmetric Fabry-Perot modulators(AFPM), which have a vertical structure and high performance and describes measurements of devices operating at 10GHz for next generation broadband wireless communication applications such as picocell systems. Advantages of the AFPM include low drive voltage, which is less than -2V, and -3dB coupling loss, good flatness of the frequency response and simple fiber alignment. A simple link demonstration has been introduced, resulting in 92dB/Hz spurious free dynamic range and 40dB inter-modulation distortion. This modulator could be use for broadband radio over fiber systems such as picocell and multiple RF links.

A multi-bit sigma-delta modulator architecture is described for low-distortion performance and a high-speed operation. The proposed architecture uses both a delayed code and a delayed differential code of analog-to-digital converter in the feedback path, thereby suppressing signal components in the integrators and relaxing the timing requirement of the analog-to-digital converter and the scrambler logic. Implemented by a 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process, the sigma-delta modulator achieves high linearity. The measured spurious-free dynamic range is 89.1 dB for -6 dBFS input signal.

밀리미터파 대역의 아날로그 광전송을 위한 진행파형 (travel ing wave, TW) 전계흡수 광변조기 (electroabsorption modulator, EAM)와 광수신기의 설계에 대해 발표하고자 한다. TW EAM 및 TW 광수신기의 일반적인 형태인 ridge-type의 co-planar waveguide (CPW)구조에서의 마이크로파의 전송특성을 3차원 FDTD로 분석하여 광파와 전파의 속도 정합 등을 이루는 최적화 구조를 설계하였다. TW EAM의 경우 광세기 변조의 비선형 응답특성에 있어서 마이크로파 손실과 소자길이가 RF 신호의 혼변조 왜곡 (intermodulation distortion)과 SFDR (spurious free dynamic range)성능에 미치는 영향도 이론적으로 조사하였다. TW PIN 광수신기의 경우 광파와 마이크로파의 속도정합의 영향과 이전에는 고려되지 않았던 photo-generated 전송자의 진성 영역에서의 transit time이 광수신기의 밴드 폭에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 최적화 설계하였다.

This paper discusses the design of a sample-and -hold amplifier(SHA) that has a 12-bit resolution with a 100 MS/s speed. The sample-and-hold amplifier uses the open-loop architecture with hold-mode feedthrough cancellation for high accuracy and high sampling speed. The designed SHA is composed of input buffer, sampling switch, and output buffer with additional amplifier for offset cancellation Hard Ware. The input buffer is implemented with folded-cascode type operational transconductance Amplifier(OTA), and sampling switch is implemented with switched source follower(SSF). A spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) of this circuit is 72.6 dB al 100 MS/s. Input signal dynamic range is 1 Vpp differential. Power consumption is 65 ㎽.

This paper evaluates the performance of an optic link in a frequency conversion based fiber-radio system. The proposed link structure simplifies a BS(base station) via making the MMW(millimeter wave) optical pilot tone generated in the CS(control station) be used in the uplink as well as in the downlink. To acquire the optical pilot tone, an EOM(electro-optic modulator) in the CS is biased in three different ways, i.e., MAB(maximum bias), MIB(minimum bias), QB(quadrature bias). We, depending on the biasing of the EOM, evaluate the link performances in two cases; one is for constant laser source power and the other for constant received DC optical power at a PD(photo detector). Based on the simulation results on the downlink CNR and the uplink SFDR(spurious free dynamic range), we finally deduce the effective EOM biasing for each case.

Linearity is the one of the most important features for analog-optic transmission system. In our research, the available bandwidth for the feed-forward compensation circuit is enhanced by using a 180 hybrid coupler in the circuit. The bandwidth having the decreased 3rd-order intermodulation distortion(IMD3) over 10 dB is extended over 200 MHz with the center frequency of 1.6 GHz. We performed an efficient bandwith measurement for the feed-forward compensation system, which uses the network analyzer instead of the traditional measuring system that uses two RF signal generators and the spectrum analyzer. We identify the usefulness of this method from experimental results. In this study, we used cheap digital-purpose laser diodes for economical aspect, which proves the efficiency of the proposed analog system. The spurious-free dynamic range is improved about 6 dB/Hz.
