In this paper, we analyze the performance of dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying in cooperative networks with partial relay selection. An AF relay gain considered in this paper includes channel-noise-assisted relay gain. Leveraging a received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) model, we derive exact closed-form expressions for the probability density function (pdf) and cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the end-to-end SNR. Moreover, an exact closed-form expression of the ergodic capacity for dual-hop AF relaying with channel-noise-assisted relay gain and partial relay selection is investigated. The analytical results shown in this paper are confirmed by Monte-Carlo simulations.

The structural design and the measured characteristics of optical signal amplification unit for 640 Gbps (10 Gbps$\times$64 ch.) WDM transmission systems are reported. The unit is composed of two sub gain block units for the amplification of C-band (1530-1560 nm) and L-band (1570-1600 nm), respectively. Programmable microprocessors monitor the states of operation and optimize the optical output conditions. Each sub gain block unit can maintain total optical output power of +21 dBm with gain flatness of < 1 dB and noise figure of <7.2 dB for the input power in the dynamic range from-5 to +1 dBm.+1 dBm.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated the active amplification block for the integrated antenna module. The fabricated amplification module have a proper gain and low noise figure in the band of AM/FM band, T-DMB band and GPS band, and show good isolation performance for each band. Manufactured circuits satisfied the gain performance 7 dB in AM band, 11 dB in FM band, 10 dB in T-DMB, and 17 dB in GPS band. The integrated amplification block was realized by 35 mm*35 mm size, and was shown as the same sensitivity performance as compared with a conventional reference antennas.

이동통신 무선망 설계 시에는 전파강도가 부족하여 발생하는 부분적인 음영지역을 해결하기 위해서 기지국 신호를 재증폭하는 중계기를 이용하게 된다. 이러한 중계기는 입출력 안테나 사이에 충분한 격리도를 확보하지 않으면 증폭된 출력신호가 입력단으로 유입되어 시스템 발진현상이 발생하게 된다. 격리도에 따라 신호의 신호대잡음비를 저하시키는 수준의 미세발진이 발생하거나 출력증폭기의 한계점에 도달시키는 완전발진이 발생 된다. 기지국에 입력된 신호를 복조하여 신호의 상태에 따라 단말기 출력을 증가시키도록 제어하는 상황에서 이러한 중계기의 발진현상은 시스템 성능의 현저한 저하를 가져오게 된다. 본 논문에서는 실험적으로 발견된 중계기 발진현상을 수학적 모델링을 통하여 중계기의 특성 및 입출력 안테나 사이의 격리도와 미세발진현상과의 관계를 규명한다. 아울러 실험결과와의 비교분석을 통하여 본 논문에서 제시한 모델링의 타당성을 증명한다.

정보 통신 기술의 발달이 인간 생활에 많은 편리함을 가져다 주었지만 개인의 정보 유출이나 소음 공해 등의 여러 가지 문제점도 야기 시켰다. 특히 휴대 전화 통화시 사용자의 개인적인 정보들이 공공 장소에서 그대로 노출이 되고, 또 그러한 통화로 인해서 타인에게 소음 피해를 주기도 한다. 이러한 병폐를 막기 위해서 휴대 전화 사용자는 최대한 작은 소리로 통화를 하되, 상대방에게 의도하고자 하는 바를 확실히 전달하여야 한다. 그러기 위해서는 휴대 전화에 근접 통화가 가능해야 하며, 일정한 방향의 방향성을 가져서 주위의 잡음에 대해 독립적으로 작동하도록 해야한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기능을 향상시키기 위하여 음향학적 이론을 바탕으로 휴대전화에 사용되어지는 마이크로폰을 새로 설계, 제작하고 그 성능을 시험하였다. 아주 작은 소리로 근접 통화를 할 때 발생하는 팝핑(popping) 현상이 최소한이 되도록 미세관 배열을 적용하였으며, 외부 소음 영향을 줄이기 위하여 방향성을 증폭시키고자 음원의 위치에 초점을 맞추는 기술을 적용하였다. 방향성 증폭은 4개의 마이크로폰 사용과 근거리 음원의 방향성 증가를 위한 신호 처리기술을 적용하였다. 이 기술의 적용 효과를 실험을 통하여 검증할 수 있었다.

A 750 MHz CATV amplifier module has been designed and fabricated using PHEMT chips on alumina board. Developed 2-stage push-pull amplifier using wire bounded PHEMT chips shows 19dB gain, 15dB return loss and 4. 2dB noise figure over 50-750MHz frequency range. These results are superior to the characteristics of the commer-cially abailable 750MHz amplifier module. In this paper, brief background of the amplifier design, the circuit diagram and the test result have been presented.

In this paper, we have designed a low-noise amplifier for the down-converter to apply the K-band Mu-kung-hwa satellite downconvertion. We have designed on three-stage to satisfy the property of low-noise amplifier for the down-converter required at least 30dB gain. The simulaition results for the designed three-stage Low-noise amplifier are measured that 33dB, gain and 0.93dB, noise-figure From 19.200 to 20.200, and The experiment results of the fabric are measured that 25dB, gain and 1.5dB, noise-figure. Since Input reflection coefficient and otput resection coefficient are -25dB and -28dB, respectively, and VSWR is lower than 1.5, this amplifier can be used as a low-noise amplifier for the down-converter to apply the K-band Mu-kung-hwa satellite downconvertion.

In this paper, a Multi-Band Ku-band down converter was designed for reception of multi-band digital satellite broadcasting. The Multi-band low-nose down converter was designed to form four local oscillator frequencies (9.75, 10, 10.75 and 11.3GHz) representing a low phase noise due to VCO-PLL with respect to input signals of 10.7 to 12.75GHz and 3-stage low noise amplifier circuit by broadband noise matching, and to select an one band of intermediate frequency (IF) channels by digital control. The developed low-noise downconverter exhibited the full conversion gain of 64dB, and the noise figure of low-noise amplifier was 0.7dB, the P1dB of output signal 15dBm, and the phase noise -73dBc@100Hz at the band 1 carrier frequency of 9.75GHz. The low noise block downconverter (LNB) for receiving four-band digital satellite broadcasting designed in this paper can be used for satellite broadcasting of vessels navigating international waters.

This paper presents a MedRadio-band low power low noise amplifier for Medical Devices. A proposed MedRadio-band low power low noise amplifier adopts a current-reuse resistive feedback topology to increase overall gm and reduce power consumption. The gain of the LNA increases by the Q-factor of the additional series RLC input matching network, and its noise figure is minimized by the similar factor. Furthermore, it consumes low power because of low supply voltage and current reuse technique. By exploiting the $g_m$-booting and matching network property, the proposed MedRadio-band low noise amplifier achieves a noise figure of 0.85 dB, a voltage gain of 30 dB, and IIP3 of -7.9 dBm while consuming 0.18 mA from a 1 V supply voltage in $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS technology.

The horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) analysis is conducted to estimate the site amplification effect and the thickness of the sedimentary layer beneath the measurement site. We investigated the effects of meteorological variations (wind and precipitation rate) and sensor burial depths on HVSR analysis. The HVSR results were unstable when seismographs were exposed on the ground. The HVSR results of ambient noise data measured under strong winds were also unstable. It is recommended to measure the ambient noise at wind speeds of <3 m s-1. Stable HVSR results were obtained when seismographs were buried, regardless of the precipitation rates. The results of this study provide the best observations and optimal weather conditions required to acquire accurate and reliable HVSR results.
