A wideband correlator, with 45% relative bandwidth is proposed at the frequency range of 3.1-5.1GHz. The structures of the correlator components such as the delay line and the Wilkinson power divider are designed to be realized in transmission line form using the Agilent's Advanced Design System (ADS). The correlator made by using three unique wideband 3-dB couplers, rat-race coupler and one 3-dB wilkinson power divider to reach the required bandwidth. The insertion loss, amplitude imbalance and phase imbalance between ports are presented. The proposed correlator makes compact size better than correlator of conventional structure.

All-optical fiber-type gain flattening filer (GFF) for an EDFA (Erbium doped fiber amplifier) were fabricated by using a FBT (fiber biconical tapered) process and the performance of the GFF was tested and athermal package was proposed. Historically, the chief contributor to gain unevenness has been the EDFA. Due to the inherent gain response of the EDFA's operation, there is always a modest imbalance in the gain applied as a function of wavelength. FBT methods have been used to make fiber type couplers and WDM filter since 1980. Attractivity of this methods was simple, cost effective and thermal stability. Simulation program tool is made to design target GFF profile for this paper. Fiber coupler manufacturing machine is modified for the GFF process. The final GFF is obtained by cascading 4 unit filter that has 6 taper stage. Test result shows 1 dB of wavelength flatness in the C band. Polarization dependent loss is under 0.15dB. The center wavelength variation is below ${\pm}$0.35nm at the temperature range of $20^{\circ}C$ to $70^{\circ}C$.

Recent wireless communications using the unlicensed band have been on the rise and the range of use is increasing. The license-exempted band is a prerequisite for accepting interference between telecommunication equipment. In particular, the interference phenomenon of Bluetooth, wireless LAN, and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) using the 2.4 GHz band is getting serious. In such urban areas, the wireless transmission medium may be in a bad state. There are roughly two ways to make effective transmission in this environment. The first is the IEEE 802.11 RTS / CTS method and the second is the frame fragmentation method. In this paper, it is difficult to transmit a frame over a certain size in a jamming environment due to the interference of the wireless environment. In this environment, we implement a frame division transmission scheme that guarantees effective transmission and reliability by dividing a frame into smaller units in order to perform reliability transmission and efficient transmission.

Recently, some variable length adaptive filters which employ variable lengths taps for the input signal statistics are proposed [1-5]. In this paper, a new subband adaptive filter with variable filter tap length is proposed. The proposed subband variable length adaptive filters can optimize filter length for each subband which can result less computational complexities with respect to the conventional full band adaptive filters. When the signal in the full band has narrow spectrum, the conventional full band adaptive requires very long filter taps, whereas the proposed subband variable filter requires less taps with the spectrum split in subband. The computer simulation results reveals that in many case, in system identification with narrow band system estimation, the proposed adaptive filter has less computational complexities with faster convergence.

In this paper, WCDMA indoor repeater antenna using an absorber based on metamaterial structure for high isolation is proposed. The proposed antenna consist of the main patch with the absorber based on metamaterial structure and parasitic patch. The WCDMA bandwidth is obtained by utilizing the coupling between the main and parasitic patches. The size of the absorber based on metamaterial structure is $13mm{\times}13mm$, the absorption is about 94 % at 2.18 GHz. The isolation characteristic of proposed WCDMA indoor repeater antenna between the service and donor antennas is improved by using a absorber based on metamaterial. The proposed WCDMA indoor repeater antenna has a gain higher than 6 dBi with a VSWR less than 2, and an isolation between the service and donor antennas greater than 85 dB over the WCDMA band from 1.92 GHz to 2.17 GHz. And size of the proposed antenna is $75mm{\times}75mm$.

The emergence of Bluetooth as a radio interface scheme has allowed electronic devices to be instantly interconnected as ad-hoc networks. These short range ad-hoc wireless networks are called piconets, operated in the unlicensed 2.45 GHz ISM(Industrial, Scientific, Medical) band where up to eight devices may be used to configure single or overlapping piconets. In this paper, we have simulated the PER(Packet Error Rate), the ratio of received packet and payload BER(Bit Error Rate) of piconet with packet types of Bluetooth ACL/SCO(Asynchronous Connection Less/Synchronous Connection Oriented) link over wireless ad-hoc environment. The Rayleigh fading effects are considered as channel model, and the simulation results are based on the baseband model of Bluetooth specification. From the simulation results, the PER and the throughput of Bluetooth piconet are sensibly affected by the packet type of ACL/SCO link.

Cognitive Radio, which adaptively utilizes the vacant licensed spectrum band, is considered as an effective way to alleviate the scarcity of spectrum resource shortage. In order to guarantee the non-interference transmission of primary system, spectrum sensing, especially in quiet period, is proposed. However, it is insufficient to avoid the unacceptable interference caused by Cognitive Radios, because the primary user may appear anytime that is unpredictable. In this paper, we address the deficiency of conventional spectrum sensing and propose a novel Cognitive Radio receiver structure with monitoring function block to detect the appearance of primary user in a real-time manner. Simulations prove that the proposed eigenvalue based detection method together with the two-threshold decision procedure performs properly.

In this paper, high-efficiency DC-AC converter is implemented for the wireless power transmission. The DC-AC converter is implemented by combining the oscillator and power amplifier. Because the conversion efficiency of wireless power transmitter is strongly affected by the efficiency of power amplifier, the high-efficiency power amplifier is implemented by using the Class-E amplifier structure. Also, because the output power of oscillator connected to the input stage of power amplifier is low, high-gain two-stages power amplifier using the drive amplifier is implemented to realize the high-output power DC-AC converter. The dual band harmonic suppression filter is implemented to suppress 2nd, 3rd harmonics of 13.56 MHz. The output power and conversion efficiency of DC-AC converter are 40 dBm and 80.2 % at the operation frequency of 13.56 MHz.

Recently, ultra-wideband (UWB) technology based on the transmission of short duration pulses has gained much interest for its application to wireless communications. UWB small scale channel modeling work, including statistical characterization and potential models, are discussed. The significance, in terms of performance, of the channel impulse response model chosen for the simulation of UWB communications systems is also evaluated. Three traditional models are found to be useful for modeling NLOS UWB channels, but not LOS channels. In this paper, a new model for LOS UWB channels is presented and shown to represent LOS channels much more accurately than the traditional models.

In this paper, we propose the design and fabrication on high frequency CMOS VCO for DS-UWB(Direct-Sequence Ultra-WideBand) applications using 0.18 ${\mu}m$ process. The complementary cross-coupled LC oscillator architecture which is composed of PMOS, NMOS symmetrically, is designed for improving the phase noise characteristic. The resistor is used instead of current source that reduce the 1/f noise of current source. The high-speed buffer is needed for measuring the output characteristic of VCO using spectrum analyzer, therefore the high-speed inverter buffer is designed with VCO. A fabricated core VCO size is $340{\mu}m{\times}535{\mu}m$. The VCO is tunable between 7.09 and 7.52 GHz and has a phase noise lower than -107 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset over entire tuning range. The measured harmonic suppression is 32 dB. The VCO core circuit draws 2.0 mA from a 1.8 V supply.
