Abstract

In this paper, we suggested that a RF-front module of down-converter that represents the lowest noise figure to receive high quality video signals because the attenuation occurs in the atmosphere over 20GHz. By budget analysis of CDR, SFDR and CIP3 of RF-FEM, we also analyzed the parameters and linearity that presents high dynamic range. The total gain of designed Ka-band down-converter is 61.8dBand noise figure is 1.05dB, so gain and noise figures show excellent properties. In the future, the designed RF-FEM will be applied to the Ka-band satellite down-converter for UHD-class video transmission.

본 논문에서는 20GHz 이상의 Ka-대역 위성링크에서 대기 중의 감쇠가 심하므로 높은 품질의 영상신호를 수신하기 위하여 최저 잡음지수를 나타내는 하향변환기의 RF-전단부를 제시하였다. 또한 RF-전단부의 CDR, SFDR 및 OIP3을 버짓 분석에 의하여 높은 동적영역을 나타내는 파라미터 값과 선형성을 분석하였다. 설계된 Ka-대역 하향변환기의 전체이득은 61.8dB, 잡음지수는 1.05dB로 매우 우수한 특성 나타내었으며, 설계 제작된 하향변환기는 우수한 선형성을 요구하는 UHD 급의 고화질 영상전송용 Ka-대역 위성방송 하향변환기에 적용할 수 있다.
