In this paper, the double balance mixer(DBM) for Ku-band LNB using InGaP/GaAs HBT process is suggested for the characteristics of low DC power consumption, low noise figure, low intermodulation distortion and wide dynamic range. The 5 dB conversion gain, 14 dB NF, bandwidth 17.9 GHz and 50.34 dBc IMD are obtained under RF input power of -23 dBm, with bias condition as 3 V and 16 mA. The linearity of InGaP/GaAs HBT, the broad band input matching scheme and the optimization of bias point result in the low IMD, the broad bandwidth and the low power consumption characteristics.

This paper proposes an efficient transmission method for the panoramic multimedia contents. The panoramic video provides wide sight and various view-point to the user. The traditional methods of the panoramic multimedia content transmission has several limitations, as follow; A client suffers a long initial delay time to play a panoramic video when it is transmitted through a limited bandwidth network, because the panoramic video has larger data size than a general video. And if a client's display device has limited resolution, such as mobile phone, laptop PC monitor, etc. it can not display the entire panoramic video that has a wide view video sequence. So, in order to overcome the obstacles, this paper proposes an efficient transmission of panoramic multimedia contents. This method will increase the transmission efficiency throughout the technique of the scene description in MPEG-4 system. Also we demonstrated the efficiency of the proposed method by comparison with existing methods.

A method is presented to alter the geometry of the conventional linearly shaped wire antenna for increasing its bandwidth. The synthesis is two-demensionally symmetric and is based on the minimization of frequency-dependence of the boresight far-field electric field intensity. The current distribution on the wire is calculated by Galerkin method using pulse functions. The shaping limitation for wide-band characteristics is still found because of standing waves due to reflected waves from antenna ends. The limitation overcome by a distribution of resistive loads near ends of wire. The antenna loaded resistively has flat characteristics satisfying a power gain of $6.5\pm1.1$dBi and VSWR of at most 2 over 10:1 bandwidth. The results are verified by comparing with similar results for the conventional linear V-dipole.

The bit error probability of UWB Time-Hopping(TH) multiple access communication systems combined with BPSK is calculated with a high accuracy including the multiple user interference(MUI). This paper finds that with some manipulations, the TH-BPSK UWB signal can be modified to the similar form of the DS-CDMA signal. The MUI in the system is explained by the characteristic function technique. Above two descriptions have been bases on the derivation of the exact BER expression of the system. We also propose the approximate expression for the BER, which has enough accuracy compared with the expression from the Gaussian approximation of the MUI. The comparison of the results from the proposed expressions with the simulation results gives the confirmation for the validity and accuracy of the proposed expressions.

When the current flows to parallel lines with different length, it is researched that the radiation is occured by the common-mode current radiates, and the small light weight antenna composed of dual elements by using the principle is proposed. However, there is a problem in production about this antenna because this liner antenna is structured by combining with wires. In this paper, we improved this liner antenna, and designed the plane antenna composed of dual elements with different length in the plane printed board to produce and to design easily. Furthermore, the antenna with the wide-band characteristic is also designed in the same board. The radiation pattern is similar to the dipole antenna on account of designing the triangular patch S, the notch and two tapers in patch S, the notch and two tapers in the antenna element. In result, it was able to design the antenna working wider band-width(the bandwidth ratio about 58%, $VSWR{\le}2$).

A binary line code, called MB46d, is designed by use of the BUDA(Binary Unit DSV and ASV) cell concept to retain the property of being runlength limited, DC tree, and with a power spectral null at the Nyquist frequency. This new code is a stateless line code with a simple encoding and a decoding rule and enables efficient error monitoring. The power spectrum and the eye pattern of the new line code are simulated for a minimum-bandwidth digital transmission system where the sinc function is used as a basic pulse. The obtained power null at the Nyquist frequency is wide enough to enable easy band-limiting as well as secure insertion of a clock pilot where necessary. The eye is also substantially wide to tolerate a fair amount of timing jitter in the receiver.

In this paper, we have illuminated the radiation modes of rectangular planar antennas to interpret the nature of the wideband characteristic upon which formulas for bandwidth prediction are presented. Rectangular planar antennas are being investigated by many researchers in virtue of relatively simple design and fabrication procedures to replace the cylindrical monopoles. But the design principle for rectangular planar antennas is still based on that of cylindrical monopoles, and the nature of the wideband characteristic and the formula to estimate the upper band frequency are not analyzed yet. In this research, we have shown the patterns of the radiation modes explaining the wideband characteristic and also proposed the upper band frequency with minor modification for the lower band frequency formula based on mode formation principles. Finally we have confirmed the validity of our results, within 10 % accuracy, by the application to some published results.

SiC MOSFETs require a faster and more reliable short-circuit protection circuit than conventional methods due to narrow short-circuit withstand times. Therefore, this research proposes a short-circuit protection circuit using a current-sensing circuit based on Rogowski coil. The method of designing the current-sensing circuit, which is a component of the proposed circuit, is presented first. The integrator and input/output filter that compose the current-sensing circuit are designed to have a wide bandwidth for accurately measuring short-circuit currents with high di/dt. The precision of the designed sensing circuit is verified on a double pulse test (DPT). In addition, the sensing accuracy according to the bandwidth of the filters and the number of turns of the Rogowski coil is analyzed. Next, the entire short-circuit protection circuit with the current-sensing circuit is designed in consideration of the fast short-circuit shutdown time. To verify the performance of this circuit, a short-circuit test is conducted for two cases of short-circuit conditions that can occur in the half-bridge structure. Finally, the short-circuit shutdown time is measured to confirm the suitability of the proposed protection circuit for the SiC MOSFET short-circuit protection.

This paper proposes a design of a wideband array antenna involving the downlink bands of fixed satellite service (FSS) and broadcasting satellite service (BSS) by applying two mixed patch sets. The proposed antenna is implemented on FR4 substrate by arranging rectangular patches in 6 by 2. To design a wideband antenna (10.7~12.75 GHz) covering both FSS downlink bands (10.7~10.95 GHz, 11.2~11.45 GHz) and BSS downlink bands (11.7~12.5 GHz, 12.2~12.75 GHz, 11.7~12.2 GHz), rectangular patches working at 11.5 GHz and 12.5 GHz are arranged alternately, and thus the proposed antenna can obtain a wide bandwidth equivalent to 30.8% of the center frequency. The proposed antenna was fabricated and measured, and the results are well matched with the simulated ones. From the performances, the proposed antenna can be applied to the receiving antenna for FSS and BSS downlinks.

In this paper, a novel CPW(Coplanar Waveguide)-fed UWB(Ultra Wide Band) antenna is designed, implemented, and measured for UWB communications. CPW-fed planar antenna has advantages of wide-bandwidth, low-cost and easy interaction with radio frequency front end circuitry. We have used HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulator) of Ansoft which is based on the FEM(Finite Element Method) to simulate the proposed antenna. FR-4 substrate of thickness 1.6 mm and relative permitivity 4.4 is used for implementation. The proposed antenna showed VSWR(Voltage Standarding Wave Ratio)${\leq}2$ for the frequency band from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz which is used for ultra wide band communication. Measured peak gains are 2.61, 4.95, 2.89, 7.35 dBi at 3, 6, 8, 11 GHz, respectively.
