In this paper, we have proposed and experimentally performed a polarization and phase control method of an optical signal which has same wavelength with the optical carrier to improve phase characteristics of a continuous wave(CW) generated by the double sideband-suppressed carrier(DSB-SC) as one of the famous photomixing technique for making sub-millimeter and terahertz waves. A polarization and phase controlled optical signal has been coupled with the general DSB-SC on an optical coupler. The output of the optical coupler is then photomixed by a photomixer. From our analysis and measurement results, we have found that the amplitude of the generated sub-mm and terahertz CW signal is higher 1.5 dB and the phase noise is lower about 3 dB@10 kHz offset frequency than the general DSBSC. Consequently, since our proposed method has improved the amplitude and phase noise of CW signals in the sub-mm and terahertz bands, it can be helpful results to make low cost CW generator in sub-millimeter and subterahertz bands.

Network on a chip(NoC) is a communication subsystem between intellectual property(IP) cores in a SoC and improves high performance in the scalability and the power efficiency compared with conventional buses and crossbar switches. NoC needs a synchronizer to overcome the metastability problem between data links. This paper presents a new mesochronous synchronizer(MS) which is composed of selection window generator, selection signal generator, and data buffer. A delay line circuit is used to build selection window in selection window generator based on the delayed clock cycle of transmitted clock and the transmitted clock is compared with local clock to generate a selection signal in the SW(selection window). This MS gets rid of the restriction of metastability by choosing a rising edge or a falling edge of local clock according to the value of selection signal. The simulation results show that the proposed MS operates correctly for all phase differences between a transmitted clock and a local clock.

In this paper, a Phase Difference-to-Voltage Converter (PDVC) has been introduced into a conventional fractional-N PLL to suppress fractional spurs. The PDVC controls charge pump current depending on the phase difference of two input signals to phase frequency detector. The charge pump current decreases as the phase difference of two input signals increase. It results in the reduction of fractional spurs in the proposed fractional-N PLL. The proposed fractional-N PLL with PDVC has been designed based on a 1.8V $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process and proved by HSPICE simulation.

The phase error generated in the transmission system affects the performance of digital transmission signal. The phase error are generated by random phase noise and tracking phase error due to denier phenomenon. In the mobile satellite communication system that generates the doppler frequency, which is a system with a movement, the proper system phase noise spectrum should be designed based on analyses for phase noise and static phase error effects. Based on the analyses of the doppler frequency and the phase error for bilateral satellite communication system providing an asynchronous service, the phase noise spectrums for the mobile satellite communication are designed in this paper. Also, the available transmission services under the less doppler effect are proposed and the proper signal source units for a required transmission system can be designed under the proposed system phase noise spectrum.

In uninterruptible power supply(UPS), a high speed phase control is usually required to compensate transients in the output voltage at the instant of transfer from the ac line to the inverter when the ac line fails or backs to the ac line in case of the inverter fails. To overcome this problem, this paper pre¬sents the closed digital phase-locked loop(DPLL) techniques designed by full software with TMS320C31 digital signal processor and describes the functional operation of the proposed DPLL. Fi¬nally, the performance of the proposed DPLL is shown and discussed through simulation and experiment.

An integrated photonic radio frequency (RF) phase shifter has been proposed and fabricated using a nested dual Mach-Zehnder modulator configuration in a new electro-optic polymer. The fabricated device shows a continuous voltage control of the RF signal phase. A near-linear phase shift exceeding 108$^{\circ}$was obtained for a 16-GHz microwave signal by tuning the do control voltage over a 7.8- $V_{pp}$ range.e.

본 논문에서는 전력증폭기 선형화를 위한 Cartesian feedback 방식의 궤환 경로에서 발생하는 DC offset과 이득 및 위상 불일치를 자동적으로 보상하는 개선된 방식을 제안한다. Cartesian feedback에 의한 비선형 전력증폭기 왜곡성분의 감쇠 정도는 시스템 루프의 이득, 대역폭, 시간지연에 의해 결정된다고 알려져 있다. 그러나 궤환 경로 각 소자에서 발생하는 DC offset과 이득 및 위상의 불일치로 인하여 송신기의 출력신호에 원하지 않는 반송파 성분과 이미지 신호가 발생하여 궤환보상의 효과가 반감되는 결과를 초래한다. 본 논문에서는 디지털 신호처리 시스템 구조에서 이진 검색 (binary search) 알고리즘을 이용하여 궤환 경로에서 발생하는 DC offset과 이득 및 위상 불일치를 자동적으로 보상하는 방식을 제안하고 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여 제안된 방식의 성능을 분석한다. 모의실험에서 고려된 방식에 비하여 동일한 정도의 DC offset과 이득 및 위상 불일치의 보상에 걸리는 시간을 평균적으로 40% 단축할 수 있었다.

We have investigeted the interference phenomena of the second harmonic waves of Nd:YAG laser generated at KDP single crystals and the nitrogen CARS signals. To get the phase difference between the successively generated nonlinear optical signals, a phase shifting unit made of BK-7 glass and a high pressure gas cell are used. Coherence lengths of several samples for the nonlinear signals are measured. Adjusting the thickness of the phase shifting unit where the CARS signals make destructive interference completely, the CARS spectrum of nitrogen suppressed over wide wavelength range is obtained. Also, we have observed the change in degree of suppression of the spectrum for the variation of the thickeness of the phase shifting unit.

And a method of the faster locking and phasing for calling than that of recommended by ITU-R is suggested and implemented.

10 GHz clock recovery from 40 Gbit/s optical time-division-multiplexed(OTDM) signal pulses was experimentally demonstrated using an optical phase lock loop based on a terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer(TOAD) with a local-reference-oscillator-free electronic feedback circuit. The 10 GHz clock was successfully extracted from 40 Gbit/s signals. The SNR of the time-extracted 10 GHz RF signal to the side components was larger than 40 dB. Also we performed numerical simulation about the extraction process of phase information in TOAD. The lock-in frequency range of the clock recovery is found to be 10 kHz.
