광 전송 마이크로 셀룰라 시스템과 부반송파 다중 송신 시스템 같은 마이크로파 광 전송기술을 이용한 시스템들은 송신기의 비선형성에 의해서 발생하는 많은 왜곡 성분들, 특히 레이저 다이오드에서 발생한 왜곡 성분들에 의해서 많은 성능의 제한을 받는다. 이러한 왜곡 성분들을 제거하기 위해서 광 피드포워드 방식을 이용한 광 송신기를 제안하였다. 제작된 피드포워드 선형화 아날로그 광 송신기는 2.1 GHz 투톤 실험에서 38 dB의 IMD 개선 효과를 보였다. 여기에서 위상 천이기와 전압 가변 감쇄기는 신호 크기 허용오차를 0.1 dB, 위상 허용오차 $1^{\circ}$범위 이내에서 설계하였다. 이를 위해서 세밀한 위상과 크기의 조정이 가능한 위상 천이기와 전압 가변 감쇄기를 제작하였고, 측정한 결과, 전압 가변에 따른 위상 변화량과 크기 변화량은 각각 위상 천이기는 $90^{\circ}$, 전압 가변 감쇄기는 14 dB를 기록하였다.

A compact and broadband $4{\times}1$ array antenna was developed for 3G smart antenna system testbed. The $4{\times}1$ uniform linear array antenna was designed to operate at 1.885 to 2.2GHz with a total bandwidth of 315MHz. The array elements were based on the novel broadband L-probe fed inverted hybrid E-H (LIEH) shaped microstrip patch, which offers 22% size reduction to the conventional rectangular microstrip patch antenna. For steering the antenna beam, a commercial variable attenuator (KAT1D04SA002), a variable phase shifter (KPH350SC00) with four units each, and the corporate 4-ways Wilkinson power divider which was fabricated in-house were integrated to form the beamforming feed network. The developed antenna has an impedance bandwidth of 17.32% ($VSWR{\leq}1.5$), 21.78% ($VSWR{\leq}2$) with respect to center frequency 2.02GHz and with an achievable gain of 11.9dBi. The design antenna offer a broadband, compact and mobile solution for a 3G smart antenna testbed to fully characterized the IMT-2000 radio specifications and system performances.

A new low phase noise Dielectric Resonator Parallel Feedback Oscillator(DRPFO) that is proposed in this paper has a simple structure so that it can be fabricated in low cost and with high performance. The proposed DRPFO is in a feedback loop oscillator configuration, which is composed of a low noise amplifier, a power amplifier, a power attenuator, a power divider and a parallel resonator feedback element that consists of a dielectric resonator coupled with two microstrip lines. The measured phase noise of DRPFO was less than -81 dBc/Hz at offset frequency 1 kHz of 10.75 GHz carrier frequency, and the frequency stability of DRPFO was less than $\pm$200 kHz over the temperature range of -40$^{\circ}$C to +60$^{\circ}$C.

This paper presents temperature-compensation circuits of Ku-band amplifiers for satellite payload. After carefully investigating design specifications of Ku-band amplifiers for satellite payload, we designed three types or temperature-compensation circuits, which are an active bias circuit, an attenuator control, and an ALC loop circuit. Our design technique demonstrates good agreement between measured and predicted results. These temperature-compensation circuits are suitable for Ku-band satellite payload active components, such as channel amplifiers, LNA and IF amplifiers.

The receiving part of the RF system for the digital TRS base stations is developed in this paper. Based on the system specifications, the structure of the RF system is accomplished and its block diagram is drawn. The RF system is implemented according to these block diagrams. Subsequently the RF band-pass filter, the low noise amplifier, the automatic level controlled attenuator, the frequency synthesizer and other components for the system are designed and implemented, and a main board to integrate these modules is also manufactured. To lower the noise floor of the system and suppress the RF spurious noise, a PCB layout is performed carefully. For each module consisting of the RF system and the entire system, the performance tests are accomplished to check the specifications.

We have developed a fully functional reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) switch module using a polymer integrated photonic lightwave circuit technology. The polymer variable optical attenuator (VOA) array and digital optical switch array are integrated into one polymer PLC chip and packaged to form a 10-channel VOA integrated optical switch module. Four of these optical switch modules are used in the ROADM switch module to execute 40-channel switching and power equalization. As a wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) filter device, two C-band 40-channel athermal arrayed waveguide grating WDMs are used in the ROADM module. Optical power monitoring of each channel is carried out using a 5% tap PD. A controller and firmware having the functions of a 40-channel switch and VOA control, optical power monitoring, as well as TEC temperature control, and data communication interfaces are also developed in this study.

In this paper, measurement scheme and uncertainty estimation of the K-band attenuation standard fitted with 3.5 mm coaxial connectors are described. The standard comprises a build-up chain of four steps of power ratio mea-surement and operates in the frequency range of 18 GHz to 26.5 GHz. The nominal attenuation of each step is around 20 dB and total dynamic range is 80 dB. The expanded uncertainty of the overall system is 0.01 dB at the confidence level of approximately 95%.

It was virtually declared that measurement science must abandon the error analysis of measurement when ISO had published "Guide to Expression of uncertainty in Measurement" International inclination of measurement field in order to guarantee the traceability and confidence of measurement results discards the error concept and instead analyzes the measurement uncertainty. In this paper we establish a mathematical model of measurement and analyze all uncertainty factors as possible as for yielding the measurement uncertainty in the course of the calibration of RF multimeter using Transfer Standard, Thermal Voltage Converter We produce the expanded uncertainty by analyzing cable effects, correlation of thermocoupler and DC meter, DC source, RF source, attenuator, reflection coefficients and DUT.s and DUT.

In this paper, an 1-Watt amplifier for IMT-2000 was designed and fabricated using feedfarward method which has the highest linearity and wide bandwidth. Since feedforward is sensitive to surroundings for example heat, input power level, time and so on, adaptive controller using micro controller is adopted. We fabricated a HPA with 35 dB gain, 40 dBm of 1-dB compression point, and utilized variable attenuator and variable phase shifter using reflection type to cancel loop signal. From the measured results, the fo11owing facts were obtained, in signal loop, main carrier over 35 dB was suppressed and error signal over 30 dB is cancelled in error loop, IMD characteristics above 60 dBc were obtained.

Flexible couplers are widely used for exhaust transmitted vibration reduction in vehicles. This paper describes an investigation into the acoustical characteristics of exhaust flexible coupler by the simulation and testing. Computational acoustic simulation is carrying out to investigate resonance frequency and transmission loss of decoupler using the boundary element method and transfer matrix approach. To confirm the acoustical simulation results of exhaust decoupler, we compare with measured experimental results by the test of transmission loss measurement system. In the comparison with simulation results and tests results, there is correctly fit the resonance frequency and the trend of transmission loss. Also, we show that the acoustical structure of decoupler is analogous to the expended tube or side branch resonator. The characteristics of exhaust decoupler have a marked increase in the acoustic attenuation at the specified frequency bend. Therefore the decoupler is applied to develop the exhaust system not only for the vibration isolator but also for the noise attenuator.
