This paper has designed a current mode class D power amplifier to increase the transmission efficiency of a 6.78 MHz wireless power transfer (WPT) transmitter and to ensure stable characteristics even when the transmitting and receiving coil intervals change. By reducing the loss due to the parasitic capacitor component of the transistor, which limits the theoretical efficiency of the linear amplifier, this research has improved the efficiency of the power amplifier. The circuit design simulator was used to design the high efficiency amplifier, and the power output and efficiency characteristics according to the load impedance change have been simulated and verified. In the simulation, 42.1 dBm output and 95% efficiency was designed at DC bias 30 V. The power amplifier was fabricated and showed 91% efficiency at the output of 42.1 dBm (16 W). The transmitting and receiving coils were fabricated for wireless power transfer of the drone, and the maximum power added efficiency was 88% and the output power was $42.1dBm{\pm}1.7dB$ according to the load change causing from the coil intervals.

The power diode's reverse recovery current when switching on the main switch results in losses of the switch in boost converter. The high turn-on losses can be controlled by snubber circuit. In this paper, a new snubber circuit which can reduce the turn-on current stress mentioned above and recover trapped snubber energy in capacitor is proposed for boost converter. The control of boost converter with proposed snubber is the same as the conventional one. In addition, the energy recovery circuit can be implemented with a few passive components. The analysis for proposed circuit is presented, and the validity of the circuit is verified through simulation and experiment.

Improved algorithms for elliptic scalar multiplication secure against side-channel attacks, such as timing and power analysis, are presented and analyzed. We first point out some potential security flaws often overlooked in most previous algorithms and then present a simple $\pm$1-signed encoding scheme that can be used to enhance the security and performance of existing algorithms. More specifically, we propose concrete signed binary and window algorithms based on the proposed $\pm$ 1-signed encoding and analyze their security and performance. The proposed algorithms are shown to be more robust and efficient than previous algorithms.

Existing LDMOS power amplifier that used class-AB and doherty system shows 55% of efficiency in 60MHz narrow band. Because RRH has been applied to power amplifier at base station. It is required that over 100MHz expanded band and more than 60% high efficiency power amplifier. In this paper we designed class-J power amplifier using LDMOS FET which has over 60% high efficiency characteristic in 200MHz. The output matching circuit of designed class-J power amplifier has been optimized to contain pure reactance at second harmonic load and has low quality factor Q. As a measurement result of the amplifier, when we input continuous wave signal, we checked 62~70% of power added efficiency(PAE) in 2.06~2.2GHz including WCDMA frequency as a 10W class-J power amplifier.

This paper researches on the scheme superimposing the rotation phases over the pilot and data symbols in order to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR) of the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) communication. The bandwidth and power efficiency are the main consideration. The phases of rotation vector are added to those of both pilot symbols and data symbols interlaying between any two pilot symbols in an OFDM block. Owing to this scheme the transmitter reduces the PAPR using the partial transmit sequences(PTS) and the receiver restores the data symbol utilizing the channel estimation of pilot symbols. Therefore, the bandwidth efficiency is accomplished by not using the further subcarriers for the reduction of PAPR and the enormous increase of bit error rate according to the receiving error of the side information, i.e. the phases of rotation vector, is prevented. In other words, both bandwidth-and power-efficiency and quality of communication performance can be improved.

This paper reports an application of Doherty amplifier for efficiency improvement of feedforward power amplifier(FPA). For performance analysis, we measured 15 W average output power using WCDMA 4FA input signal with a center frequency 2.14 GHz. The applied Doherty amplifier presents the characteristics of high efficiency and low linearity in comparison to the class AB amplifier, and it was used as main amplifier of FPA fir efficiency improvement. To analyze the change of characteristic, tow Doherty amplifiers whose linearity and efficiency are different were applied. The applied FPAs are improved about $2\%$ or more performance in efficiency, but decreased in linearity on 15 W average output power. We additionally modified the coupling factor(CF) of the error loop and the error amplifier capacity for linearity improvement. Aa a result, the efficiency improvement and high linearity resulted from the change of CF and error amplifier capacity. However, we think if the linearity of Doherty amplifier were more than 35 dBc, the FPA would improve the performance about $2\%$ or more efficiency and maintain enough linearity.

In this paper, we propose additional data transmission system for spectrum efficiency improvement and derive channel capacity formula as a approximated closed-form. Spread spectrum watermarking scheme is selected for the watermarking embedder. Nakagami-q (Hoyt) model is considered as a multipath fading channel. Numerical results show the channel capacity variation of the proposed system in wireless fading channel. From the results, we confirm that the channel capacity of the watermarking system is affected by the fading coefficient and system parameters such that host sampling frequency, host-to-watermark ratio, watermark-to-noise ratio, and PN sequence length.
