In this paper a low signal reduction communication system that does not use the communication line but power line is presented It will be very useful for an information-oriented society with tele-metering and home automation. The conventional system has a difficulty in transmitting information due to decreasing communication voltage. The proposed system employs a special type switching amplifier system which has a low inner resistance and uses high efficient ferrite core in coupling circuit. This new system is proposed to reduce the loss of conductor load and coupling circuit in a PLC system.

A drain bias switching technique is presented to enhance power added efficiency for WiBro and wireless LAN dual band and dual mode transmitter. Some simulations have been done to predict the effect of drain and gate bias change, and bias switching is proposed to get the higher efficiency for dual mode transmitter which generates different output power for different applications. With drain bias switching and simulated optimum fixed gate bias, the amplifier shows dramatic PAE improvement compared to the amplifier without bias switching. The drain and gate bias switching technique will be useful for multi mode communication system with various functions.

In this paper, we demonstrated a high-energy (285 mJ) mid-infrared flashlamp-pumped electro-optically 𝚀-switched Er:YAG master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system and comprehensively investigated its temporal, spectral, and spatial characteristics. To increase the output energy, we optimized the delay between the timings at which the flashlamps of the master oscillator and power amplifier were triggered. In addition, the output energy was improved while minimizing thermal effects by cooling the MOPA system to a temperature slightly above the dew point. Consequently, the MOPA structure boosted the output energy without damaging the lithium niobate Pockels cell, which is a crucial element in 𝚀-switching. This design realized pulses with energies up to 0.285 J and pulse durations of approximately 140 ns at a wavelength of 2,936.7 nm. This high-energy mid-IR Er:YAG MOPA system can be used for various scientific, engineering, and military underwater applications.

A multi-parameter neuro muscular electrical simulator (NMES) system was developed to be used to find the optimal parameter condition in obtaining maximum muscle power and minimal fatigue. Since the performance of NMES is mainly determined by the characteristic of its output-stage circuit, we implemented 3 different circuits and compared output characteristics of them. Three amplifier circuits are; 1) a resonant switching converter, 2) a linear amplifier with a transformer, and 3) a step-up DC/DC converter with a high-voltage linear amplifier. Experimental results showed that the step up DC/DC converter with a high-voltage linear amplifier has the best performance.

This paper presents a new $4{\times}4$ multi-port amplifier(MPA) structure using reconfigurable switching matrices as input and output hybrid matrices(IHM, OHM), and phase/amplitude error calibration circuits. According to the mode selection of the switches, output power can be flexibly and effectively managed since the number of PA's to be used and the number of output port to distribute/combine amplified signals can be controlled. In addition, the proposed structure contains the phase and amplitude error calibration block that helps produce identical amplitudes and desired phase differences to the $4{\times}4$ OHM, resulting in optimizing the port-to-port isolation of the MPA system.

This work describes an 8b 200MHz time-interleaved subranging analog-to-digital converter (ADC) based on a single-poly digital CMOS process. Two fine ADCs for lower digital bits of the proposed ADC employ a time-sharing double-channel architecture to increase system speed and a new reference voltage switching scheme to reduce settling time of the reference voltages and chip area. The proposed intermeshed resistor string, which generates reference voltages for fine ADCs, improves linearity and settling time of the reference voltages simultaneously. The proposed sample- and-hold amplifier(SHA) is based on a highly linear common-drain amplifier and passive differential circuits to minimize power consumption and chip area with 8b accuracy and employs input dynamic common mode feedback circuits for high dynamic performance at a 200MHz sampling rate. A new encoding circuit in a coarse ADC simplifies the signal processing between the coarse ADC and two successive fine ADCs.

A new detecting system for moving objects of coastal region has been designed by directional antenna and driving circuits. The designed system has been investigated by CAD for linear and planar antenna arrays of various radiating elements for antenna simulations and by P-spice of device simulations. For detecting the displacement of moving objects, we constructed four wideband dipole antenna, diode switching circuit, mixer, filter and amplifier. The results of antenna receiver were shown a possibility of distance measuring system through phase difference of radiation patterns in antenna simulation
