W-대역 잡음온도 표준 확립에 필요한 잡음전력 수신기인 라디오미터를 제작하고, 성능을 평가하였다. 제작된 라디오미터를 사용하여 기준 상온 및 저온잡음원, 그리고 피측정잡음원의 잡음전력을 각각 측정하고, 라디오미터 식을 사용하여 피측정잡음원의 잡음온도를 구하였다. 결과에 대한 측정불확도를 평가하고, 국외 측정표준기관인 영국 NPL의 측정결과와 비교함으로써 측정의 유효성을 검증하였다. 확립된 W-대역 잡음온도 측정표준을 국내 산학연에 보급함으로써 자동차, 항공, 우주, 국방, 보안 등 다양한 분야의 잡음측정에 있어서 측정의 신뢰성을 높이는데 기여하게 될 것이다.

In general, noise measurement results show larger random ripple than those of the network analyzer. The reason for the lager random ripple of the noise measurements is considered that the general noise measurements uses absolute measured noise powers, while the network analyzer measures using a ratio of the measured powers. In this paper, a novel measurement method of noise correlation matrix using relative noise ratios is proposed. Proposed method measures the five noise powers of DUT for the five input impedance variations and the four relative noise ratios are formed using the five measured noise powers. The four noise ratios are used to compute the noise correlation matrix and noise parameters. The resulting noise parameters for a 0.5 dB attenuator show good agreements with theoretical values calculated by S-parameters. Also, the noise parameters of an active DUT with a noise figure of less than 1 dB are measured and the measured results show a small random ripple as expected and their values are physically acceptable. In conclusion, the proposed method can be applied to the noise parameter measurements for DUT with a noise figure below 1 dB.

In this paper, we propose two noise parameter measurement methods using spectrum analyzer. First method, we measure a noise correlation matrix using the 6-port network, and we calculate noise parameters using measured a noise correlation matrix. Second method, we directly measure noise figures of the DUT for source impedance changes, and then noise parameters are extracted from the measured noise figures. In order to measure a noise figure, we present a method of measuring a noise figure of the DUT that have arbitrary source impedances using spectrum analyzer and a method of eliminating a noise effect of a impedance tuner. Finally, the noise parameters of a passive and active DUT using proposed two methods are compared. The comparison shows that the two results obtained from for the two methods give almost identical noise parameters. The noise parameters measured by 6-port network accurately predict measured noise figures of the DUT for source impedance changes, and noise parameters measured by 6-port network is verified from the comparison.

Toen 방식을 사용하는 거리 측정시스템의 잡음 및 간섭에 대한 열화 도를 분석한다. 위성 링크상의 잡음 및 다중 변조 방식에 의한 전송 신호간 간섭들로 인하여 위상차 측정에 열호가 발생하며, 열화 도는 ranging 측정 시스템의 잡음 대역폭에 의존한다. Ranging 측정 모드에서는 잡음 대역폭 8Hz, 4Hz 그리고 1Hz에 대하여 0.3dB 열화가 방샐하였으며, ranging 및 원격 측정 데이터 전송 모드에서는 대역폭에 따라 6.4dB, 4.2dB, 4dB가 발생하였다.

The conventional calibration method for a noise figure analyzer is to use a noise source. This method is accompanied by a significant irregular ripple in the measurement results, because it does not consider the mismatch of the noise source and noise figure analyzer during calibration. A novel calibration method of the noise figure analyzer is proposed that considers the mismatch between the noise power and noise figure analyzer. A novel noise correlation matrix measurement technique using this method is also proposed. The method determines the noise correlation matrix and the gain of the uncorrected noise figure analyzer using uncorrected noise powers. Then, having determined the gain and noise correlation matrix, the effects of noise figure analyzers were corrected in the measurement results of the noise correlation matrix for the device under test (DUT). Through the proposed method, the measured noise parameters of a DUT showed the same degree of irregular ripples as the result of using the relative noise ratio.

모뎀이나 통신장비는 선로잡음이나 기타 노이즈의 영향을 고려하여 시스템을 측정하고 평가해야 한다. 그러나 실제의 노이즈환경을 구현하고 측정하기란 매우 어렵고, 비용 또한 무시할 수 없기 때문에 잡음이나 노이즈를 인위적으로 발생시켜 시스템을 측정하게 된다 그러나 시스템이 고속으로 동작하고 스펙이 복잡하면 잡음을 원하는 스펙에 만족하도륵 구현하기가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 DCT를 이용한 필터계수 생성과, 의사잡음(Pseudo Noise)을 이용한 잡음발생 알고리즘을 제안하며 시스템의 속도와 사용 주파수에 관계없이 스펙을 만족하는 잡음발생 장치를 제안한다.

The effects of noise and doppler for low orbit satellite range measurement using tone method are represented in this paper. Also the optimal noise bandwidth of range signal detection circuit which is used for range measurement system of KOMPSAT is proposed. Based on the effects of satellite orbit parameters via the deduction of dynamic motion characteristics of low orbit satellite and signal to noise spectral density of range measurement signal, the effects of noise and doppler for range measurement system are analyzed. The effect of satellite link noise is decreased, but the effect for doppler is increased as the PLL noise bandwidth of range signal detection circuit is increased. The validation of analyzed effect is verified via comparison of measurement results of KOMPSAT's range measurement system and simulation results in environments of low orbit satellite.

The information about noise parameters is essential in the design of low noise amplifier. In the past, the noise parameters were measured using an impedance tuner and noise figure analyzer. Recently, the authors proposed the method of measuring the noise parameters using the 8-port network without the aid of the mechanically driven impedance tuner. However, the 8-port method still requires the noise source and causes the complexity in the measurements. In this paper, a novel measurement method of the noise parameters without the noise source using 6-port network is proposed. Based on the proposed 6-port method, the noise parameters of 10 dB attenuator whose noise parameters can be theoretically determined were measured and the measured noise parameters are compared with those measured using the previous 8-port network method. As a result, the accuracy of the measured noise parameters using 6-port network is found to be comparable to the previous 8-port network method.

In this paper, we propose a method for defining the input termination for on-wafer-type device under test (DUT) measurement. Using the newly defined input termination and noise wave correlation matrix (NWCM) measurement method based on noise power ratio, the NWCM of the on-wafer-type DUT was measured. We demonstrate a noise measurement configuration that includes wafer probes and bias tees to measure the on-wafer DUT. The S-parameter of the adapter that combines the bias tee, probe, and a line terminated by open is required to define the input termination for on-wafer DUT measurement. To measure the S-parameter of the adapter, a 2-port S-parameter measurement method using 1-port measurement is introduced. Using the measured S-parameters, a method for defining the new input termination for on-wafer-type DUT measurement is applied. The proposed method involves the measurement of the NWCM of the chip with a 1.5 dB noise figure. The noise parameters of the chip were obtained using the measured NWCM. The results indicate that the obtained values of the noise parameters are similar to those mentioned on a datasheet for the chip. In addition, repeated measurements yielded similar results, thereby confirming the reliability of the measurements.

The performance of satellite range measurement using tone method was analyzed in the presence of satellite link AWGN. The phase errors in range measurement are generated by AWGN of satellite up- and down-link and the degradations of satellite range measurement are dependent on the transmission mode and loop bandwidth of satellite measurement system. The analyzed effects for satellite measurement in presence of satellite link noise were also analyzed with the measured satellite range data via satellite range measurement system operating in satellite link AWGN. In RAU mode, the satellite range differences of 14.4 to 40.6 m were occurred according to the loop bandwidth of satellite range measurement system and the degradation of 0.3 dB compared with theoretical value was generated under condition of the signal-to-noise ratio of 43 dB. In RAU and TM mode, the performances of range measurement were approximately agreed to the that of RAU mode. In order to get the equal performance characteristics with RAU mode, the signal-to-noise ratio of satellite link for RAU and TM mode should be increased by signal power of 2.3 dB, which is a power loss due to transmission of telemetry signal.
