In this paper, we designed a frequency synthesizer with a low phase noise and fast lock time and excellent spurious characteristics using the offset-PLL(Phase Locked Loop) that is used in GSM(Global System for Mobile communications). The proposed frequency synthesizer has low phase noise using three times down conversion and third offset frequency of this synthesizer is created by DDS(Direct Digital Synthesizer) to have high frequency resolution. Also, this synthesizer has fast switching speed using DAC(Digital to Analog Converter). but phase noise degraded due to DAC. we improved performance using the DAC noise filter.

Single phase simulations were carried out in order to determine a solutive conductor to the aeolian noise which will be locally applied to 765 kV transmission lines Basic solutive conductors have already been proposed including conductors equipped with spiral rod. low noise conductor of a special shape and others. A low aeolian noise conductor, however, should have excellent corona characteristics in addition to aeolian noise reduction function. In this paper, we compared the performances of the audible noises and radio interferences of 6 candidate conductor bundles by using corona cage. We also developed two programs to need for evaluating environmental effects of each conductor bundle. Those are a program to calculate the conductor surface gradient of various special bundles and a conversion program of single phase data to the model of transmission line. The future determination on the final low aeolian noise conductor will be made through a long-term test to verify environmental impacts at the full-scale Kochang 765 kV test line.

In this paper, a monolithic VCO has been designed for Wireless Local Area Network(WLAN) applications. The differential form VCO is constructed using positive feedback with capacitor and phase shift for low phase noise performance. The VCO shows the phase noise of -92.725 dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 10KHz and the tunning range of 5.822~6.154GHz.

The simple motor construction and low cost, fault tolerant power electronic drive has made the switched reluctance drive a strong contender for many applications. But the switched reluctance drive does exhibit higher levels of vibration and acoustic noise than that of most competing drives. The main source of vibration in the switched reluctance drive is generated by rapid change of radial force when phase current is extinguished during commutation action. In this paper, a hybrid excitation method is proposed to reduce vibration and acoustic noise of the switched reluctance drive. The hybrid excitation has 2-phase excitation by long dwell angle as well as conventional 1-phase excitation. The vibration and acoustic noise are reduced because the scheme reduces abrupt change of excitation level by distributed and balanced excitation.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive DFE (Decision Feedback Equalizer) based on LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) code for phase noise suppression and performance improvement. The proposed equalizer in this paper is applied for wireless repeater system. So as to meet ever increasing requirements on higher wireless access data rate and better quality of service (QoS), the wireless repeater system has been studied. The echo channel and RF impairments such as phase noise produce performance degradation. In order to remove echo channel and phase noise, we suggest a novel adaptive DFE equalizer based on LDPC code. The proposed equalizer helps to compensate RF impairments and improve the performance significantly better than used independently. In addition, proposed equalizer has less iteration number of LDPC code. So, the proposed equalizer system has low complexity.

This paper proposes a low phase noise ring voltage controlled oscillator(VCO) with a standard $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS process for PLL circuit using the VCO-gain-controlled Delay cell. The proposed Delay cell architecture with a active resistor using a MOS transistor. This method can reduced a VCO gain so that improve phase noise. And, Delay cell consist of Wide-Swing Cascode current mirror, Positive Latch and Symmetric load for low phase noise. The measurement results demonstrate that the phase noise is -119dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset from 1.9GHz. The VCO gain and power dissipation are 440MHz/V and 9mW, respectively.

In this paper, low phase noise push-push oscillator (OSC) using the metamaterial resonator for missile defense systems and satellite communication was design and implemented. The metamaterial resonator has the large coupling coefficient value, which makes a high Q value, and has reduced phase noise of OSC. The OSC with 1.8 V power supply has phase noise of -117 dBc/Hz @100 kHz in the 12 GHz. When it has been compared with metamaterial resonator and coventional spiral resonator, the reduced Q value has been -29.7 dB and -47.6 dB respectively. This low phase noise OSC using metamaterial resonator could be available to a OSC in X-band.

In this paper, a push-push oscillator at K-band with a double H-shape metamaterial resonator (DHMR) based on high-Q is proposed with metamaterial structure to improve the phase noise and output power. The proposed oscillator shows low phase noise and high output power. DHMR is designed to be high-Q at resonance frequency through strong coupling of E-field. oscillators which are combined in push-push structure improve output power. The propose push-push oscillator shows the output power of 3.1 dBm, the fundamental signal suppression of -23.7 dBc and phase noise of -116.28 dBc at 100 kHz offset frequency and 20.20 GHz center frequency.

Phase noise of oscillator gives the performance degradation significantly when a high carrier frequency and low transmission rate are used. The BER(Bit Error Rates) degradation of QPSK(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) transmission is analyzed with the oscillator phase noise level specified in downstream physical interface of LMDS(Local Multipoint Distribution Services) which is described in DAVIC(Digital Audio Visual Council). The model used for the phase noise is a power-law model. We also investigated the effects of the various transmission rates on system performance. For the transmission rate below 0.5 Mbps, the BER performance is severely degraded and we verified that the transmission rate, 20 Mbps, is adequate for the downstream of LMDS systems.

Passive noise reduction is a classical approach to attenuate industrial noise, and an active noise cancellation has several advantages over the passive noise cancellation. The active noise reduction system offers a better low frequency performance with a smaller and lighter system. This paper presents a simple active closed loop control system which consists of an controller for inverting and compensating the phase delay, a microphone for picking up the external noise, and a loudspeaker for radiating the acoustic out of phase signal to reduce the external noise, and external noise can be reduced after compensating the phase difference to be $180^{\circ}$ in the frequency of maximum value in the amplitude response. The noise of the phase delay covered from $50^{\circ}\;to\;310^{\circ}$ tends to be reduced in the active noise control system and it is possible to obtain a noise cancelling of up to approximately 20[dB] at the ears in the enclosurer.
