This paper describes a design of an 8-bit 100KSPS 1mW CMOS A/D Converter. Using a novel systematic offset cancellation technique, we reduce the systematic offset voltage of operational amplifiers. Further, a new Gain amplifier is proposed. The proposed A/D Converter is fabricated with a $0.6{\mu}m$ single-poly triple-metal n-well CMOS technology. INL and DNL is within ${\pm}1LSB$, and SNR is about 43dB at the sampling frequency of 100KHz. The power consumption is $980{\mu}W$ at +3V power supply.

As the mobile services have been increased, the interference of the neighboring base stations is increased and the PIMD(Passive Inter-Modulation Distortion) has been a main issue for the design of base station antenna systems. In this paper, it is proposed the PIMD test method for the active basestation antenna whose radiators are directly connected with main active parts including amplifiers, and we presents its test results using a developed active basestation antenna. From the results, the active basestation antenna has the better PIMD performance than conventional passive structure by 8.4dB. The proposed PIMD test method can be used to get the accurate PIMD test result because the test environment is very similar with real basestation.

An all-optical encryption system built on the basis of electrical logic circuit design principles is proposed, using semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) exclusive or (XOR) logic gates. Numerical techniques (steady-state and dynamic) were employed in a sequential manner to optimize the system parameters, speeding up the overall design process. The results from both numerical and experimental testbeds show that the encoding/decoding of the optical signal can be achieved at a 10 Gbps data rate with a conventional SOA cascade without serious degradation in the data quality.

In fields of controlling acoustical noises, the overall adaptive control system is nonlinear due to the loudspeaker, amplifiers, converters, and microphones, etc. and the performance of noise control is decreased by the extent of nonlinearities, so an adaptive control system compensating nonlinear distortions is needed. In this paper, a new multi-channel adaptive noise controller was proposed, which was combined with the adaptive compensator to effectively linearize nonlinear distortions in the overall adaptive control system. Through computer simulations, the proposed adaptive compensator could linearize the nonlinear distortions and the proposed noise controller had better capability of controlling the noises than the conventional LMS controller.

Spectral gain variation characteristics of the silica-based erbium doped fiber amplifiers is investigated in the 1545-1557 nm wavelength region. For a given length of the erbium doped fiber, the gain($G_0$) with minimum spectral gain variation is uniquely determined. The spectral gain imbalance DG is nearly proportional to the difference between G0 and the operating gain(G) with the proportional constant of 0.1-0.2 dB/dB. For the gain flattened EDFA at the input power of -20 dBm/ch. and the gain of 21 dB, the output power and the optical signal to noise variations after 12 cascaded EDFAs were 5 dB and 3 dB, respectively.

The possibility of improving amplification characteristics and lowering the melting point of bismuth-doped aluminosilicate glass as a new amplification material, which has broadband near-infrared emission at 1300 nm regions, was investigated. Spectroscopic analysis of bismuth-doped aluminosilicate glass shows that the addition of an alkali metal oxide, $Li_{2}O$ increases FWHM of fluorescence spectrum but decreases fluorescence intensity, while $GeO_{2}$ composition increases both FWHM of fluorescence spectrum and fluorescence intensity. Also, excellent optical amplification gain characteristics in a $GeO_{2}$-added sample were observed.

We introduce a new ultra-large capacity time- and wavelength-division hybrid optical switching system, called ESCIMONET(Easily SCalable Interconnected Multiwavelength Optical NETwork). We describe its architecture, principle of operation, and performance characteristics. ESCIMONET is very effective system in terms of its handling capacity versus number of wavelength needed. It can handle n$^3$number of channels using only n number of different wavelengths. The insertion loss of the whole system is less than conventional optical switching system so that the number of optical amplifiers in the system can be minimized. We analyzed the performance of the system by investigation the characteristics of the buffer used in the system such as throughput and average waiting time of the signal in a buffer.

This paper presents a feedforward linear power amplifier (LPA) using error feedback technique to achieve low intermodulation distortions(IMD) of power amplifiers for base stations. Especially, the proposed linear power amplifier is applied to feedforward technique combined with error feedback technique, which has no loss of amplifier gain unlike typical feedback technique. The proposed LPA is designed by using HP ADS ver. 1.3, fabricated. When two-tone signals at 1850 MHz and 1851.25 MHz with -7 dBm/tone from synthesizers are injected into the main power amplifier with gain of 28 dB and P1dB of 1W, the proposed LPA could reduce more than 35 dB.

A high power and high gain Doherty amplifier is designed by using embedded driver amplifiers in the final stage. The operational characteristics of a two-stage Doherty amplifier are analyzed, as a function of the two-stage peaking amplifier gate biases. The driver stages and final output stages are implemented using two single-ended MRF21045s and a single push-pull packaged MRF5P21180, respectively. This two-stage Doherty amplifier demonstrated 27 dB gain with a PAE of 23 % at 15 W average output power.

For the testing of nonlinear power amplifiers, this paper suggests an approach to design optimized multisine signals that could be substituted for the original modulated signal. In the design of multisines, complex coefficients should be determined to mimic the target signal as much as possible, but very few methods have been adopted as general solutions to the coefficients. Furthermore, no solid method for the phase of coefficients has been proven to show the best resemblance to the original. Therefore, in order to determine the phase of multisine coefficients, a time-domain nonlinear optimization method is suggested. A frequency-domain-method based on the spectral response of the target signal is also suggested for the magnitude of the coefficients. For the verification, multisine signals are designed to emulate the LTE downlink signal of 10 MHz bandwidth and are used to test a nonlinear amplifier at 1.9 GHz. The suggested phase-optimized multisine had a lower normalized error by 0.163 dB when N = 100, and the measurement results showed that the suggested multisine achieved more accurate adjacent-channel leakage ratio (ACLR) estimation by as much as 12 dB compared to that of the conventional iterative method.
