In this paper we analyze the effect of nonlinear gain on laser modulation characteristics applying a small-signal analysis to the rate equation which includes a nonlinear gain term. Also we analyze the resonance frequency and the damping factor which determine laser modulation characteristics, define K factor which is the proportionality factor between resonance frequency and damping factor, and conclude that the decrease in K factor is due to increases in differential gain and no correlation between K factor and nonlinear gain is identified.

A general linearly constrained adaptive array is examined in the weight vector space to illustrate the array performance with respect to the gain factor. A narrowband linear adaptive array is implemented in a coherent signal environment. It is shown that the gain factor in the general linearly constrained adaptive array has an effect on the linear constraint gain of the conventional linearly constrained adaptive array. It is observed that a variation of the gain factor of the general linearly constrained adaptive array results in a variation of the distance between the constraint plane and the origin in the translated weight vector space. Simulation results are shown to demonstrate the effect of the gain factor on the nulling performance.

The optical performance of the reflective polarizer was investigated over three kinds of direct-lit backlights and/or different configurations of the optical sheets. The optical gain factor achieved by using the reflective polarizer increased as the diffuse nature of the optical sheet was enhanced, because of the more efficient polarization conversion. In addition, the gain factor decreased substantially in flat-lamp backlights compared to tubular-lamp backlights, which was ascribed to the high loss factor during the polarization recycling process due to the complex structure and large area of flat lamps. All these results suggested that reducing the loss factor of the backlight is very important for efficient polarization conversion and thus high optical gain of the reflective polarizer.

This paper presents the digital control of single-phase power factor correction(PFC) converter which has the variable gain according to the condition of inner control loop error. Generally the gain of inner current control loop in single-stage PFC converter has a constant magnitude. This has a bad influence on the power factor because current loop doesn't operate smoothly in the condition that input voltage is low In particular a digital controller has more time delay than an analog controller and degrades This drops the phase margin of the total digital PFC system,. It causes the problem that the gain of current control loop isn't increased enough. In addition the oscillation happens in the peak value of the input voltage open loop PFC system gain changes according to ac input voltage. These aspects make the design of the digital PFC controller difficult The digital PFC controller presented in this paper has a variable gain of current control loop according to input voltage. The 1kW converter was used to verify the efficiency of the digital PFC controller.

In mobile radio environment, it is well known that the base station antenna height gain factor is 6 dB / octave. But the mobile radio environment is not simple and affected by the terrain contour or the man-made structures, so the antenna height gain factor varies due to the propagation conditions. This paper represents the received signal power gain due to the base station antenna height in the microcell environment on the basis of the flat terrain and sloping terrain model. The gain point which shows the antenna height gain is derived in this paper.

A general linearly constrained narrowband adaptive array is examined in the eigenvector space. The optimum weight vector in the eigenvector space is shown to have the same performance as in the standard coordinate system, except that the input signal correlation matrix and look direction steering vector are replaced with the eigenvalue matrix and transformed steering vector. It is observed that the variation in gain factor results in the variation in the distance between the constraint plane and the origin in the translated weight vector space such that the increase in gain factor decreased the distance from the constraint plane to the origin, thus affecting the nulling performance. Simulation results showed that the general linearly constrained adaptive array performed better at an optimal gain factor compared with the conventional linearly constrained adaptive array in a coherent signal environment and the former showed similar performance as the latter in a noncoherent signal environment.

A general linearly constrained adaptive array is proposed to improve the nulling performance. The nulling performance is examined in the array weight vector space. It is shown that the constraint plane is shifted to the origin perpendicularly by the gain factor such that the increase of the gain factor results in the decrease of the distance from the constraint plane to the origin. Thus the variation of the gain factor has an effect on the extent of orthogonality between the weight vector and the steering vectors for the interferences such that the nulling performance of the general linearly constrained adaptive array is improved by the gain factor. It is observed that the proposed adaptive array with an optimum value of the gain factor yields a better nulling performance in coherent signal environment and a similar nulling performance in noncoherent signal environment compared to the conventional linearly constrained adaptive array.

This paper proposes a variable-Q digital graphic equalizer with the opposite filters. A method for designing the proposed equalizer is also presented. In the proposed variable-Q equalizer, we adjust the Q-factor of the equalizer filter depending on the gain, yielding an improved equalizer performance. Also, by increasing the Q-factor of the opposite filters gracefully as the gain becomes greater, the inter-band interference can be removed effectively. We shall show that the frequency response of the proposed equalizer can reproduce the user's gain setting faithfully.

This paper presents the digital controller using variable gain for single-phase power factor correction (PFC) converter. Generally, the gain of inner current control loop in single-stage PFC converter has a constant magnitude. This is why input current is distorted under low input voltage. In particular, a digital controller has more time delay than an analog controller which degrades characteristics of control loop. So, it causes the problem that the gain of current control loop isn't increased enough. In addition, the oscillation happens in the peak value of the input voltage open loop PFC system gain changes according to ac input voltage. These aspects make the design of the digital PFC controller difficult. In this paper, the improved digital control method for single-phase power factor converter is presented. The variable gain according to input voltage and input current help to improve current shape. The 800W converter is manufactured to verify the proposed control method.

The correlation between the optical performance of the reflective polarizer, which is a key optical component for the brightness enhancement of the liquid crystal display (LCD), and the configuration of optical sheets was investigated in a direct-lit CCFL (cold-cathode fluorescent lamp) backlight. The optical gain of the reflective polarizer, the polarization state of the light emitted from each film, and the loss factor for the polarization conversion process occurring in the lower part of the backlight were determined using a phenomenological approach for the polarization recycling process. The present study suggests that the correlation between the optical performance of the brightness enhancement films and the backlight configuration should be carefully considered in the optimization of the backlight structure.
