This paper describes the design of frequency down converting Mixer in the receiver to use compound semiconductor and CMOS product process. The basic theory and structure of frequency down converting Mixer is surveyed, and we design mixer circuit with active balun which use the compound semiconductor and CMOS process. This mixer convert a single ended signal to differential signal at input port of RF and LO instead of matching circuit to get dual band balanced mixer structure and characteristic broadband. This designed mixer has a conversion gain $-1{\sim}-6[dB]$ at $2{\sim}6[GHz]$ bandwidths. However, the simulation of the designed mixer with active balun has the result of a 7[dB] conversion gain for -2[dBm] LO input power and -10[dBm] input P1[dB] at 5.8[GHz].

A new structure of tunable wavelength converter based on XCM in SOA was tried and analyzed. This converter used single SOA and had very simple structure. In this paper, results were experimentally obtained and demonstrated. Pump signal was generated with NRZ $(PRBS\;2^{31}-1)$ and data rate 2.5 Gbps. WDM multi conveted signals showed more than 8.3 dB extinction ratio. For BER performance, all these converted signals had within 5.0 dB power penalty compared with the pump signal. With these results, we showed that this converter was suitable for 2.5 Gbps WDM multi-channel wavelength converting.

The transform limited optical short pulses are generated by compression of pulses from a gain switched distributed feedback laser at 5 GHz repetition rate. The gain-switched pulses have the minimum pulse width of 27 psec with the spectral width of 1.1 nm. Thus the output pulses have a large amount of linear chirp and nonlinear chirp. We suppress the nonlinear chirp by passing the pulses through the optical band pass filter with 3 dB band width of 0.55 nm which is narrower than spectral width of the input pulses and generate 7.1 psec pulses by compressing the output with the dispersion compensating fiber. The pulses have time-bandwidth product of 0.49 which is close to the transform limited gaussian pulse. These pulses can be utilized as optical sources in 40 Gbit/s time division multiplexed optical transmission system.

The dual-channel receiver MMIC which is composed of LNA, Mixer, LO-amp and temperature compensation circuit is designed on a single chip. For the performance comparison, a FMCW radar transceiver module using commercial MMICs is also implemented. As a result, Multi-channel Transceiver using manufactured MMIC shows an improved performance such as noise figure and gain flatness compare to purchased MMIC.

본 논문에서는 움직임 보상과 웨이브릿 변환 부호화 기법을 이용하여 비디오 신호의 데이터를 압축하고자 한다. 비디오 신호에 대한 인간 시각 특성을 분석하여 큰 이득을 주지 못하는 과정을 생략하고 인간의 눈에 민감하지 않은 정보를 생략함으로써 화질의 저하 없이 비디오 신호를 높은 비율로 압축한다. 제안한 방법은 움직임이 발생되는 정도와 크기에 매우 의존적으로, 움직임이 많은 비디오 신호에 더욱 적합하나 움직임이 작은 경우에도 저주파 대역들의 움직임 보상에 의한 이득이 크기 때문에 모든 영상에 대해서 적용 가능한 방법이다. 'football'과 'Popple'을 대상으로 한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션결과, 프레임당 30:1 정도의 압축하에서 높은 재생화질을 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper describes automatic gain control circuit (AGC) design techniques for CMOS CCD camera interface systems. The required gain of the AGC in the proposed system is controlled directly by digital bits without conventional extra D/A converters and the signal settling behavior is almost independent of AGC gain variation at video speeds. A capacitor-segment combination technique to obtain large capacitance values considerably improves the effective bandwidth of the AGC based on switched-capacitor techniques. A proposed layout scheme for capacitor implementation shows AGC matching accuracy better than 0.1 %. The outputs from the AGC are transferred to a 10b A/D converter integrated on the same chip. The proposed AGC is implemented as a sub-block of a CCD camera interface system using a 0.5 um n-well CMOS process. The prototype shows the 32-dB AGC dynamic range in 1/8-dB steps with 173 mW at 3 V and 25 MHz.

In this paper, high-efficiency DC-AC converter is implemented for the wireless power transmission. The DC-AC converter is implemented by combining the oscillator and power amplifier. Because the conversion efficiency of wireless power transmitter is strongly affected by the efficiency of power amplifier, the high-efficiency power amplifier is implemented by using the Class-E amplifier structure. Also, because the output power of oscillator connected to the input stage of power amplifier is low, high-gain two-stages power amplifier using the drive amplifier is implemented to realize the high-output power DC-AC converter. The dual band harmonic suppression filter is implemented to suppress 2nd, 3rd harmonics of 13.56 MHz. The output power and conversion efficiency of DC-AC converter are 40 dBm and 80.2 % at the operation frequency of 13.56 MHz.

In this paper, we propose various types of AGC algorithms for implementing the OFDM communication systems. For the high-speed packet transmission, in this paper, we assume the OFDM system with relatively long and repeated preambles. We propose the maximum sample value counter for counting the number of maximum sample. In the maximum sample value counter, we use the buffer for the digital signal buffering. Finally, the counting value of the maximum sample value counter controls the gain control signal generator by using gain control table automatically.

Novel tandemless transcoding method for AMR and EVRC speech coders is proposed in this paper. In contrast to conventional tandem method, the parameters which is used commonly in speech coder where CELP algorithm is adapted are directly transcoded. The proposed algorithm is composed of LSP transcoding, pitch delay transcoding, gains transcoding and fixed codebook vector transcoding Evaluation results show that the novel algorithm achieves better speech quality than tandem method and reduce computational complexity and delay.

본 논문에서는 장거리 레이더용 차량 충돌 방지 77-GHz CMOS 믹서를 제안한다. 이러한 회로는 2볼트 전원전압에서 동작하며, 저 전압 전원 공급에서도 높은 변환 이득과 낮은 변환 손실 및 낮은 잡음지수를 가지도록 설계되어 있다. 제안한 회로는 TSMC $0.13{\mu}m$ 혼성신호/고주파 CMOS 공정($f_T/f_{MAX}=120/140GHz$)으로 설계하였다. 전체 칩 면적을 줄이기 위해 수동형 인덕터 대신 전송선(Transmission Line) 을 이용하였다. 본 논문에서 설계한 믹서는 약 5.2dB의 우수한 변환이득 특성과 2.1dBm의 우수한 IIP3 특성을 보였다.
