In this paper, the baseband filter is proposed in order to maintain a constant sensitivity regardless of distances for 77 GHz automotive radar system. Using existing DCOC loop circuit can remove DC offset and also cancel differences of received power depending on the distance. Measured results show that the maximum gain is 51 dB and high pass cutoff frequency can be tuned from 5 kHz to 15 kHz. The slope of high pass filter can be tuned from -10 to -40 dB/decade for the distance compensation. The measured NF and IIP3 are 26 dB and +4.5 dBm with 4.3 mA at 1.0 V supply voltage, respectively. The fabricated die size $500{\mu}m{\times}1,050{\mu}m$ excluding the in/out pads.

The 3.2~6.5 GHz wideband YTO(YIG Tuned Oscillator) module is designed, fabricated and measured. To improve the phase noise characteristic of the YTO module, offset PLL(Phase Locked Loop) structure with sampling mixer is applied. This YTO module is composed of sampling mixer, phase detector, loop filter, current driver, and YTO. The phase noise of the fabricated YTO module is measured as -100 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset frequency, which approximates the predicted result at the center frequency of 4.5 GHz. This YTO module presents over 10 dB improved phase noise compared to conventional PLL module from operating frequency.

Phase noise in a phase-locked-loop (PLL) is unwanted and unavoidable. It is a main concern in oscillation system especially PLL. The phase noise is derived in term of power spectrum density by using a reliable phase noise model. There are four noise sources being considered in this paper, which are generated by reference oscillator, voltage controlled oscillator, filter, and main divider. The major concern for this paper is the noise from the filter. Two types of second order low pass filter are used in the PLL system. Applying the mathematical phase noise model, the output noises are compared. The total noise from the passive filter is lower than the active filter at the offset frequency range between 1 Hz to 33 kHz.

This paper presents a fully integrated 5 GHz band low phase noise LC tank VCO. The implemented VCO is tuned by integrated PN diodes and tuning rage is 5.01∼5.30 GHz with 0∼3 V control voltage. For improved phase noise performance, a LC filtering technique is adapted. The measured phase noise is -87.8 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset frequency and -111.4 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency which is excellent performance. Moreover phase noise is improved by 5 dB after employing the LC filter. It is the first experimental result in field of InGaP/GaAs HBT VCOs. The figure of merit of the fabricated VCO with LC filter is -172.1 dBc/Hz. It is the best result among 5 GHz InGaP HBT VCOs. Moreover this work shows lower DC power consumption, higher output power and more fixed output power compared with previous 4, 5 GHz band InGaP HBT VCOs.

This paper describes an offset and 1/f noise cancellation technique based hall sensor signal processor. The hall sensor outputs a hall voltage from the input magnetic field, which direction is orthogonal to hall plate. The two major elements to complete the hall sensor operation are: the one is a hall sensor to generate hall voltage from input magentic field, and the other one is a hall signal process system to cancel the offset and 1/f noise of hall signal. The proposed hall sensor splits the hall signal and unwanted signals(i.e. offset and 1/f noise) using a spinning current biasing technique and chopper stabilizer. The hall signal converted to 100 kHz and unwanted signals stay around DC frequency pass through chopper stabilizer. The unwanted signals are bloked by highpass filter which, 60 kHz cut off freqyency. Therefore only pure hall signal is enter the ADC(analog to dogital converter) for digitalize. The hall signal and unwanted signal at the output of an amplifer and highpass filter, which increase the power level of hall signal and cancel the unwanted signals are -53.9 dBm @ 100 kHz and -101.3 dBm @ 10 kHz. The ADC output of hall sensor signal process system has -5.0 dBm hall signal at 100 kHz frequency and -55.0 dBm unwanted signals at 10 kHz frequency.

This paper presents a baseband complex bandpass filter for PHS applications with a new automatic tuning method. The full-CMOS PHS transceiver is implemented by adopting the Low-IF architecture to overcome the DCoffset problems. To meet the Adjacent Channel Selectivity (ACS) performance, the 3rd-order Chebyshev complex bandpass filter is designed as the baseband channel-select filter. The new corner frequency tuning method is proposed to compensate the process variation. This method can reduce the noise level due to MOS switches. The filter was fabricated using a 0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS process, and the power consumption is 12mW.

In this paper, it suggests offset compensation method of output current in single phase PV-BES system which is connected with grid. The algorithm applied removes grid's frequency ingredient using a notch filter and it extracts only DC offset current. It can reduce problems as saturation of power transformer cause by DC current when it is indoctrinated to grid.

A magnetic-field tunable 2.4 GHz microwave bandpass filter having insertion loss < -5dB on an FR4 substrate with the flaky magnetic material was designed and characterized. The tunability in the designed bandpass filter was achieved by adhering soft magnetic materials on top of the device. This soft magnetic material can be composed of ferromagnetic substance or ferrimagnetic substance. The performance of the designed bandpass filter under its influence is investigated. The frequency offset ratio changes over 30 %. There is over 20 % change in the center frequency towards the lower frequency region due to this application. These magnetic material layers achieved the center frequency shift and bandwidth extension without actually changing the original structure of the device.
