Since the major reason of the detection failure is from the consecutive data transitions, it is desirable to limit the MTR(maximum transition run) within two. Therefore, we propose a new MTR code that limits the MTR constraint to 2 and k-constraint to 8. In addition, DC-free coding is performed to overcome the media noise that exits in low frequency of perpendicular recording system. We use a GS (Guided Scrambling) for DC-free coding, and the performance of the code is compared with that of the rate 819 code used in the conventional recording channel by a computer simulation.

In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of the new current-current negative feedback (CCNF) voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), which suppresses 1/f induced low-frequency noise. By means of the CCNF, the high-frequency noise as well as the low-frequency noise is prevented from being converted into phase noise. The proposed CCNF VCO shows 11-dB reduction in phase noise at 10 kHz offset, compared with the conventional differential VCO. The phase noise of the proposed VCO is -87 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset frequency from 5.5-GHz carrier. The proposed VCO consumes 14.0 mA at 2.0 V supply voltage, and shows single-ended output power of -12.0 dBm.

The miniaturized wireless endoscope consists of CMOS Image sensor, FPGA, LED, Battery, DC to DC Converter, Antenna and Transmitter. FSK transmitter is designed and fabricated with 10 mm(diameter)${\times}$23 mm(thickness) dimension considering the maximum permission exposure(MPE), system size, power consumption, linearity and modulation method. Experimental results is - 3.67 dBm output power level, 20 MHz frequency deviation, and - 99 dBc/Hz(@100 kHz offset) phase noise at 1.2 GHz. From the in-vivo experiment, the designed FSK transmitter has a acceptable capability for wireless endoscope.

In the thesis, For improving the Stability of VCHRO(Voltage Controlled Hair-pin Resonator Oscillator) the new structure using the parallel feedback of the second harmonic is proposed for self-phase locking effect. This module is composed of wilkinson divider, frequency doubler, directional coupler, and bandpass filter using a hair-pin resonator, which are integrated into miniaturized hybrid circuit. The module exhibits output power of 2.5 dBm at 19.5 GHz, -29.83 dBc fundamental frequency suppression and -76.52 dBc/Hz phase noise at 10 kHz offset frequency from carrier of center frequency 19.5 GHz.

Ultra Wide Band (UWB) system uses wide band signal, which power spectral density is over all band, It likes as a noise floor, so UWB system can be used without interfering with other communication system. For the first time, we adopted Rayleigh mono pulse antipodal signal which had symmetric characteristic and zero mean. With the power spectral density using stochastic process, we knew that the antipodal signaling scheme removed discrete spectrum and concluded that this had much better spectral suppression, probability of error and data rate than PPM (Pulse Positioning Modulation).

In This paper, we have analyzed the power spectrum of DS-TH Ulhawideband (Direct Sequence-Time Hopping UWB) system which used pseudo-noise (PN) code. The DS-TH UWB system proposed in this paper multiplies the information signal with PN code to construct pulse train with random pattern and then the chips in pulse train are bundled into several groups to map to the particular value. The (+)/(-) pulse is tented in the time slot of frame by comparing a particular value with timing information that was stored in the lookup table. Thus, the energy spark (Comb Line) which is generated certainly in convantional system can be suppressed efficiently by PN code. And we knew that the proposed DS-TH UWB System even could have very smoothing power spectrum ctaracteristic without applying high speed Time-Hopping code.

In this paper, the PLDRO is designed and implemented for X-band. It is comprised of tunable high Q resonator with a varactor diode for frequency tuning, loop filter and a 1/8 prescaler which up to 10GHz.

From the measurement, the designed PLDRO has the output power of 2.5dBm at 8GHz and phase noise of -64.33dBc at 10KHz offset from carrier. Its characteristic is 26 dBc. This PLDRO has much better temperature stability.

In this paper, a FFH-SS hybrid communication method using digital frequency synthesizer is proposed. This can simultaneously share the same frequency band with conventional band limited communication method without interference. In the experiment the selective hopping pattern is attained by some conbination of serial to parallel conversion of maximal code from pseudo random noise generater, and it is observed that the selective hopping band transition can be more easily achieved when the hop interval is nonuniform than it is uniform. Digital frequency synthesizer is now reported to have very poor spurious suppression ability below 50~60dB, the reason of this is observed from the experimental result, and the way of how to solve this problem is presneted.
