A new discrete-amplitude pulse width modulation (DAPWM) scheme for a high-efficiency linear power amplifier is proposed. A radio frequency (RF) input signal is divided into an envelope and a phase modulated carrier. The low-frequency envelope is modulated so that it can be represented by a pulse whose area is proportional to its amplitude. The modulated pulse has at least two different pulse amplitude levels in order that the duty ratios of the pulse are kept large for small input. Then, an RF pulse train is generated by mixing the modulated envelope with the phase modulated carrier. The RF pulse train is amplified by a switching-mode power amplifier, and the original RF input signal is restored by a band pass filter. Because duty ratios of the RF pulse train are kept large in spite of a small input envelope, the DAPWM technique can reduce loss from harmonic components. Furthermore, it reduces filtering efforts required to suppress harmonic components. Simulations show that the overall efficiency of the pulsed power amplifier with DAPWM is about 60.3% for a mobile WiMax signal. This is approximately a 73% increase compared to a pulsed power amplifier with PWM.

Piezoelectric micro-machined ultrasonic transducers for highly directional speaker need DC bias voltage. Most existing power amplifiers are not suitable for use in highly directional transducers because they are based on AC. In addition, since the piezoelectric micro-machined ultrasonic transducer has a large capacitive reactance, the power efficiency of the power amplifier is very low. Thus this paper proposes a new high efficiency power amplifier with DC bias voltage. In addition, by designing a matching circuit to compensate the capacitive reactance of the micro-machined ultrasonic transducer, the power efficiency of the power amplifier increases. The operating characteristics of the proposed power amplifier was verified by an experimental prototype. The proposed power amplifier is expected to be widely used in designing and implementing other related power amplifiers.

We demonstrate a simulation of a parallel hybrid fiber amplifier in the C+L-band with a gain controlling technique. A variable optical coupler is used to control the input signal power for both EDFA and RFA branches. The gain spectra of the C+L-band are flattened by optimizing the coupling ratio of the input signal power. In order to enhance the pump conversion efficiency, the EDFA branch was pumped by the residual Raman pump power. A gain bandwidth of 60 nm from 1530 nm to 1590 nm is obtained with large input signal power less than -5 dBm. The gain variation is about 1.06 dB at a small input signal power of -30 dBm, and it is reduced to 0.77 dB at the large input signal power of -5 dBm. The experimental results show close agreement with the simulation results.

Fully Differential 연산 증폭기 회로는 SCF(Switched Capacitor Filter), D/A 컴버터, A/D 컨버터, 통신 회로 등의 VLSI 설계시 외부 부하 구동에 필수적이다. 기존의 CMOS 연산 증폭기 회로는 CMOS 기술에 따른 여러 가지 단점을 갖는데 우선 큰 부하 용량에 대한 구동 능력이 양호하지 못하고, 집적도의 증가에 따른 전원 전압의 감소로 인해 입출력 전압의 동작 특성이 저하되어 전체 회로의 동특성 법위가 감소된다. 이러한 단잠들을 개선하기 위하여 출력부의 출력 스윙을 늘릴 수 있는 차동 출력 구조를 사용한 회로가 Fully Differential 연산 증폭기 회로이며, 단일 출력 구조의 연산 증폭기 보다 스윙 폭이 향상된다. Fully Differential 연산 증폭기의 구성에서 전류 미러가 그 성능을 결정하며, 따라서 큰 출력 스윙과 안정된 회로 동작을 위해서는 출력 저항이 크고, 기준 전류와의 정합이 잘 되는 전류 미러의 설계가 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 큰 출력 저항과 기준 전류와의 정합 특성이 우수한 새로운 전류 미러를 제시하였다. 출력 스윙을 키우고 전력 소모를 줄이기 위해 새로운 전류 미러를 사용하여 2단 증폭 형태의 Fully Differential 연산 증폭기를 설계하였으며, 설계한 증폭기는 레이아웃으로 구현하여 시뮬레이션 프로그램(SPICE3f)을 통하여 성능을 검증하였다.

Parametric array transducers are used for highly directional speaker in an air environments. Piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers for parametric array transducers need DC-biased voltage driving signals in order to get high-directional quality-sound features. The existing power amplifier such as class A amplifiers has low efficiency and require large volume heatsinks. To overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the conventional amplifier, this paper proposes a new power amplifier system. The proposed power amplifier system ensures high linearity of output characteristic by utilizing the push-pull class B type amplifier. Furthermore, the proposed power amplifier system gets high efficiency because it contains the DC-DC converter-type power supply which can perform energy recovery and envelope tracking function. Also the paper suggests the detailed circuit topology. Its characteristics are verified by the detailed experimental results.

A novel self-reference sense amplifier with parallel reading during writing operation is proposed. Read access time is improved compared to conventional self-reference scheme with fast operation speed by reducing operation steps to 1 for read operation cycle using parallel reading scheme, while large sense margin competitive to conventional destructive scheme is obtained by using self-reference scheme. The simulation was performed using standard $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The proposed self-reference sense amplifier improved not only the operation speed of less than 20 ns which is comparable to non-destructive sense amplifier, but also sense margin over 150 mV which is larger than conventional sensing schemes. The proposed scheme is expected to be very helpful for engineers for developing MRAM technology.
