We present a quantum interference experiment with frequency-entangled pairs of photons with wavelength of 640 nm and 660 nm produced in the process of parametric down-conversion. When photon pairs in different angular frequencies $\omega$$_1$and $\omega$$_2$are registered by two detectors the coincidence counts exhibits a two-photon fringe as a function of relative time delay $\delta$$\tau$ of two photons within the coherence time depending on the arrangement of the detector pairs.

In this paper, we designed a frequency synthesizer with a low phase noise and fast lock time and excellent spurious characteristics using the offset-PLL(Phase Locked Loop) that is used in GSM(Global System for Mobile communications). The proposed frequency synthesizer has low phase noise using three times down conversion and third offset frequency of this synthesizer is created by DDS(Direct Digital Synthesizer) to have high frequency resolution. Also, this synthesizer has fast switching speed using DAC(Digital to Analog Converter). but phase noise degraded due to DAC. we improved performance using the DAC noise filter.

The CMOS RF front-end for Global Positioning System(GPS)are implemented in 1P8M CMOS $0.13{\mu}m$ process. The LNAs consist of LNA1 with high gain and low NF, and LNA2 with low gain and high IIP3 for supporting operation with active and passive antenna. the measured performances of both LNAs are 16.4/13.8 dB gain, 1.4/1.68 dB NF, and -8/-4.4 dBm IIP3 with 3.2/2 mA form 1.2 V supply, respectively. The quadrature downconversion mixer is followed by transimpedance amplifier with gain controllability from 27.5 to 41 dB. The front-end performances in LNA1 mode are 39.8 dB conversion gain, 2.2 dB NF, and -33.4 dBm IIP3 with 6.6 mW power consumption.

One of the nonclassical effects in two-photon interference experiments, spatial quantum beating, is observed in fourth-order interference with pairs of photons produced by a spontaneous parametric down-conversion process. When photon pairs in different frequencies $\omega1$ and $\omega2$ are mixed together, and directed to two detectors, the coincidence counts exhibit a cosine modulation with difference frequency | $\omega1$- $\omega2$|. The measured coincidence counts turned out to have an interference pattern with periodicity of 10.45 ㎛ in position or 34.82fs in time delay, which corresponds to the period 2$\pi$/| $\omega1$- $\omega2$| for the beat frequency of 0.29${\times}10^{14}$Hz.

This study describes the design and implementation of EGSE for Digital Satellite Communication. The EGSE is a equipment that evaluates digital satellite communication and requires precise and accurate measurement. EGSE consists of a PLDIU and IIU(Instrument Interface Unit), Up/Down converter for SHF band, Modems to verify the Digital Satellite Communication. The EGSE was used for performance verification and space environment test such as thermal vacuum after developing digital satellite communication.

In this paper, we have designed a bandpass filter to apply the downconverter of the K-band Mu-hung-hwa satellite. To pass only the 25-30% of the bandwidth at the center frequency of 19.6GHz, we have designed a six-order interdigital bandpass filter using microstrip lines. Simulation result of optimization show that insertion loss is -0.275dB and reflection coefficient is -20.95dB at the passband frequency. measurement is determined center frequency, 19.150Hz, insertion loss, -4.1dB, input reflection coefficient. -l5dB and output reflection coefficient -l6dB.

In this paper, we describe a unique self oscillating and mixing (SOM) down-converter design using a modified defected ground structure (DGS). The proposed SOM converter is consisted of self-oscillator, which can produce negative resistance and select resonance frequency, RF matching circuit, and IF low pass filter. As the advantage of this SOM converter can mix LO and RF signals as well as inducing LO signal with only one active device. it is designed as a simple structure and the low cost. Also, there is easy advantage to be applied in RFIC/MMIC technology because it offers excellent phase noise performance in spite of using micro-strip structure. The LO signal for the proposed SOM converter is designed at 1㎓ and RF frequency was chosen to be 800MHz. The achieved conversion loss and phase noise performances of the implemented SOM converter are 15㏈ and -95dBc/Hz at 100KHz offset frequency respectively. The equivalent circuit parameters for DGS are extracted by using a three dimensional EM simulator and simple circuit analysis method.

In a bandpass sampling (BPS), the frequency of the sampler is lower than that of the signal being sampled. In this method, the baseband spectrum directly appears by the sampling operation, so that it is not necessary to use any frequency down-converter, which makes the receiver's hardware simpler. The second-order BPS uses two identical BPS samplers, of which sampling times are offset by each other. By exploiting the relationship between two sampled signals, it can be possible to cancel the aliased signal component or the interference due to the bandpass sampling. In order to cancel the interference, an interpolant filter is used to manipulate the phase characteristics of the BPS sampled signal. In this paper, it is introduced a multiband interpolant filter which can simultaneously cancel multiple interference signals that have been aliased from multiple frequency bands. In case of no need of interference cancellation, another method is suggested to enhance the signal quality by 3dB. A computer simulation has been performed, and the feasibility of the suggested methods has been verified.

In the bandpass sampling (BPS), the sampling frequency is lower than the frequency of the signal to be sampled. In this method, the baseband spectrum can be directly obtained by the sampling operation. This makes the frequency down converter unnecessary as well as the receiver's circuit simpler. In the second-order BPS system, two sampling devices are used. When aliasing occurs due to the sampling operation, the aliased component can be cancelled by combining the two sampled signals. In this paper, it is presented a design method of the second-order BPS system when multiple interferences are simultaneously aliased to the signal component. The optimum phase of the interpolant filter is searched for maximizing the signal-to-interference ratio, and a practical formula for the suboptimal phase is derived in terms of the power spectrum profile of the BPS input. A computer simulation has been performed for the proposed second-order BPS system, and it has been shown that the signal-to-interference ratio can be increased by considering multiple aliasing.

In the bandpass sampling(BPS), the sampling frequency for the analog-to-digital converter is lower than that of the signal to be sampled. Since the BPS operation results in the signal spectrum to be copied on the baseband, it is possible for the frequency down-converter to be conveniently omitted. The second-order BPS system is introduced in order to cancel the aliased interference components from the BPS output that may be generated by the BPS processing. In this paper, we introduce a design method for the optimal phase of the interpolant filter in the second-order BPS system which enables to maximally cancel the aliased components. Being mathematically derived, this method can always be applied independently to the spectral characteristics of the BPS input signal. The performance improvements by the suggested method has been measured statistically with various power spectra of the received signal, and it has been shown that the maximal amount of the improvements reaches up to 5~20 [dB] in comparison with the previous suboptimal algorithm.
