In the international BISDN used satellite, the laser that has large BW has to be used as a carrier for transmitting a lot of visual, vocal, and data information. Interoptical satellite communication has now developed in theoretical and practical aspects. But the optical communication, between satellite and earth station, is hindered by atmospheric absorption, scattering, and turbulence. In this paper, it was supposed that 1Gbps information was transmitted by binary FSK and 50mW AlGaAs semiconductor laser was used as a optical source in the satellite communication link between geosynchronous orbit satellite and earth station. We analyzed the BER and the entire diameter of the noncoherently combined optical heterodyne receiver as el evation angle, and determined the number of the optical heterodyne rece ivers, which is necessary for the BER of the receiver to be less than 10$^{-9}$ by computer simulation under the clear weather condition. It is shown that the BER and the number of the optical heterodyne receivers decrease as the elevation angle increases. In the region used the same number of the optical heterodyne receivers, it is shown that the entire diameter of the receiver increases but the BER decreases as the elevation angle increases.

240 GHz 대역의 캐리어 주파수를 이용하여 1.485 Gbps 비디오 전송 시스템을 설계 및 시뮬레이션 하였다. 송수신기는 Schottky Barrier 다이오드 기반의 Sub-harmonic 믹서를 이용하였으며 특히, 수신기는 Heterodyne 및 Direct Detection 두 가지 방식을 적용하여 각각의 성능을 시뮬레이션 하였다. 변조방식은 ASK이며, 수신기에서는 Envelop 검출 방식을 사용하였다. 송신기 시뮬레이션 결과 Sub-harmonic 믹서의 LO 전력 7 dBm(5 mW)에서 IF 입력 전력 -3 dBm(0.5 mW)일 때 RF 출력 전력은 -11.4 dBm($73{\mu}W$)이었으며, SSB(Single Side Band) Conversion Loss는 8.4 dB이다. VDI사의 상용모델 WR3.4SHM(220~325 GHz)의 240 GHz에서의 Conversion loss 8.0 dB(SSB)와 근접한 결과를 얻었다. 1.485 Gbps NRZ 신호전송 시뮬레이션 결과 전송신호와 동일한 수신 파형을 얻었다.

This paper has been studied about UWB(Ulra wide-band)'s LNA(Low Noise Amplifier) and Mixer. The UWB is a new technology that is being pursed for both commercial and military purposes. Direct conversion architectures that convert RF signals have potential to achieve such terminals, because they eliminate the need for non-programmable image-rejection filters and IF channel filters. And this architecture promises better performance in power, size, and cost than existing heterodyne - based receivers. This Receiver architectures combines low-noise amplifier, mixer. And then this paper has designed suitable UWB's LNA and Mixer.

As Korean engineering contribution to ALMA enhancement, development of focal plane arrays(FPAs) for the total power array in ALMA compact array has been projected mainly to increase mapping speed in interferometric multi-pointing observation(mosaicking). To tackle engineering issues expected in order to be compatible with the existing ALMA receivers, we plan to develop a prototype 300-500 GHz heterodyne FPA system including a software spectrometer using GPU clusters for ASTE(Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment) telescope by 2017.

A new bioelectric impedance measurement method is proposed for the precise measurement of the bioelectric impedance. To obtain the impedance from the known applied a.c. current and the measured voltage signals, a frequency conversion circuit, like the mixer in heterodyne receivers, is introduced to reduce the frequency of the original current. It can be observed from several lines of derivation that the impedance is independent on the amplitude and phase of the mixing signals. This makes it possible to use low-speed analog-to-digital converters and thus utilize cheaper electronic parts in the implementation. The possibility of the method is shown by simulations, and a generic structure applicable to bioelectric impedance measurement devices is also proposed.

도파관형 건 발진기의 발진주파수 범위와 주파수 안정도는 공진기 치수에 따른 임피던스에 민감하다. 그러므로 HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator)을 이용하여 공진기의 치수에 따른 임베딩 임피던스 (embedding impedance)를 계산하였다. 본 논문에서는 주파수 함수를 갖는 Q-band (33 ∼ 50 GHz) 건 발진기의 임베딩 임피던스의 이론적인 결과와 실제 제작한 발진기의 실험측정 결과를 비교하여 이론적 해석의 타당성을 검증하였다. 그리고 본 논문에서 제시한 방법에 의한 이론적 해석만으로 발진주파수 범위를 예상할 수 있음을 확인하였다

In this paper, we designed self-frequency synchronizing circuit using image rejection mixer(IRM) and single-sideband(SSB) up-converter which can effectively eliminate the image frequencies occurred in multi-channel super-heterodyne receivers and help us to match inter-channel phase. Also the self-frequency synchronizing circuit simplifies system because there need no extra devices for making intermediate frequency(IF) by creating the local signal within several nanoseconds by means of generating the same frequency of IF signal and modulating radio frequency(RF) signal. We adopt the limiting amplifier for the purpose of protecting the circuit from spurious signals which come from the front end side having wide instantaneous bandwidth characteristics and constantly injecting same level into the input local signal of IRM. The IRM we fabricated has image rejection ratio of 27dB, which is good over 7dB for foreign company's. Also, the SSB up-converter we fabricated has 1dB compression point of 18dBm, which is good over 16dB for foreign company's. And the size is compact about one-forth.

Due to the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) modernization, the recently launched GNSS satellites transmit signals at various frequency bands of L1, L2 and L5. Considering the Korea Positioning System (KPS) signal and other GNSS augmentation signals in the future, there is a high probability of applying more complex communication techniques to the new GNSS signals. For the reason, GNSS receivers based on flexible Software Defined Radio (SDR) concept needs to be developed to evaluate various experimental communication techniques by accessing each signal processing module in detail. In this paper, we introduce a multi-constellation (GPS/Galileo/BeiDou) multi-band (L1/L2/L5) SDR by utilizing Ettus USRP N210. The signal reception module of the developed SDR includes down-conversion, analog-to-digital conversion, signal acquisition, and tracking. The down-conversion module is designed based on the super-heterodyne method fitted for MHz sampling. The signal acquisition module performs PRN code generation and FFT operation and the signal tracking module implements delay/phase/frequency locked loops only by software. In general, it is difficult to sample entire main lobe components of L5 band signals due to their higher chipping rate compared with L1 and L2 band signals. Experiment result shows that it is possible to acquire and track the under-sampled signals by the developed SDR.
