We developed 60 GHz analog optical transmitter modules for radio-over-fiber (RoF). They were consisted of an electroabsorption modulator (EAM), impedance matching circuit, and amplifier. The characteristics of fabricated modules were investigated by measuring the signal-to-noise ratio and the noise figure of the 60 GHz RoF link.

60GHz 주파수는 최대 9GHz 까지 엄청난 대역폭을 활용하여 Gbps급의 무선전송이 가능한 대역으로서, 최근 이 대역을 댁내 무선전송장치 및 초고속 무선랜에 활용하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이와 같이 60GHz에 대한 관심도가 높아진 이유는, 밀리미터파 통신이 기존에는 무선 백홀용으로 주로 사용되었던것에 비해 지금은 가정 및 사무실내에서의 초고속 네트워크 또는 영상가전에서의 무선 전송장치 등 응용분야의 다변화가 예상됨에 따라, ISM 대역이면서 광대역을 활용할 수 있는 60GHz가 급부상하게 된 것으로 본다. 이와 함께 CMOS 칩기술의 꾸준한 발전으로 현재는 수 십 나노공정을 이용하여 테라헤르쯔 대역에서도 동작하는 칩이 발표되고 있는 바 그동안 60GHz 시장 확산의 가장 큰 걸림돌이 었던 무선 전송장치의 높은 가격, 사이즈, 소모전력의 문제를 한꺼번에 해결할 수 있게 된 점도 이유중 하나이다. 따라서 이와 관련하여 본고에서는 ETRI와 KETI를 중심으로 진행되어 온 "60GHz 무선 전송장치에 탑재 가능한 범용 CMOS 송수신 칩 및 이를 활용한 빔포밍 트랜시버 기술에 관한 연구"를 소개하고자 한다.

In this paper, the mixer was implemented in the non-radiative dielectric waveguide that is the main component of 60 GHz band radio telecommunications equipment which a demand increases for the purpose of point-to-point communication network. As to the manufacture of the non-radiative dielectric waveguide mixer, it was the implementation of the dielectric line combiner to be most difficult. The thing which that gives shape to the curvature which is the dielectric line determined and the to place in the exact interval thing are easy. For this reason, it was very difficult to make in order to have the regular performance in the case of the mixer having the dielectric line combiner. In this paper, since the dielectric line combiner was replaced with the waveguide directional coupler and the manufacture was possible through a processing it had the characteristic that a combiner is fixed. In result, the productivity of a mixer was innovatively improved. The design frequency of the mixer implemented through this paper RF and LO are $51{\sim}64\;GHz$. IF Is $DC{\sim}\;GHz2$. The down conversion loss toward the RF input of $60{\sim}62\;GHz$ was measured by $10{\pm}1\;dB$ in the condition that LO is 10 dBm, 60 GHz.

In this paper, we introduce the design and fabrication of 60 GHz low noise amplifier MMIC for IEEE802.15.3c WPAN system. The 60 GHz LNA was designed using ETRI's $0.12{\mu}m$ PHEMT process. The PHEMT shows a peak transconductance ($G_{m,peak}$) of 500 mS/mm, a threshold voltage of -1.2 V, and a drain saturation current of 49 mA for 2 fingers and $100{\mu}m$ total gate width (2f100) at $V_{ds}$=2 V. The RF characteristics of the PHEMT show a cutoff frequency, $f_T$, of 97 GHz, and a maximum oscillation frequency, $f_{max}$, of 166 GHz. The performances of the fabricated 60 GHz LNA MMIC are operating frequency of $60.5{\sim}62.0\;GHz$, small signal gain ($S_{21}$) of $17.4{\sim}18.1\;dB$, gain flatness of 0.7 dB, an input reflection coefficient ($S_{11}$) of $-14{\sim}-3\;dB$, output reflection coefficient ($S_{22}$) of $-11{\sim}-5\;dB$ and noise figure (NF) of 4.5 dB at 60.75 GHz. The chip size of the amplifier MMIC was $3.8{\times}1.4\;mm^2$.

In this paper, millimeter-wave monolithic integrated circuit(MIMIC) low noise amplifier(LNA) for V-band, which is applicable to 60 GHz wireless local area network(WLAN), was fabricated using the high performance 0.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ $\Gamma$-gate pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor(PHEMT). The DC characteristics of PHEMT are drain saturation current density(Idss) of 450 mA/mm and maximum transconductance(gm, max) of 363.6 mS/mm. The RF characteristics were obtained the current gain cut-off frequency(fT) of 113 GHz and the maximum oscillation frequency(fmax) of 180 GHz. V-band MIMIC LNA was designed using active and passive device library, which is composed of 0.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ $\Gamma$-gate PHEMT and coplanar waveguide(CPW) technology.

We investigate the OFDM-based wireless LAN systems operating in the 60 GHz frequency band as part of the fourth-generation (4G) systems. The 60 GHz band is of much interest since this is the band in which a massive amount of spectral space has been allocated worldwide for dense wireless local communications. This paper gives an overview of 60 GHz band channel characteristics and an effect on phase noise. The performance of OFDM system is severely degraded by the local oscillator phase noise, which causes both common phase error and inter-carrier interference. In this paper, we apply phase noise suppression (PNS) algorithm that is easy for implementation to OFDM based 60 GHz wireless LAN system and analyze the SER performance. In case of using the PNS algorithm, SER performance is improved about 6 dB, 7.5 dB, respectively in 16, 64-QAM.

The demand of wireless communication system is increasing due to the development of computers and other digital media appliances. In particular, new wireless communication technology is necessary for implementation of home network since a lot of data transmission is occurred. Recently, two wireless communication technologies, Ultra Wide Band(UWB) and 60GHz band wireless communication technology, have being developed for high-speed data transmission and Wireless Personal Area Network(WPAN). In this paper, we study the present development condition of these two technologies and a role of them in home network. We also suggest the method to implement the home network using all wireless communication technologies. At the end, we outlook the market of WPAN and High Definition Multimedia Interface(HDMI).

본 논문에서는 초고속 근거리 무선전송을 위한 60GHz 시스템에서 릴레이를 이용한 협력통신 기법을 제안한다. 60GHz대역은 LOS(Line-Of-Sight)가 보장되어 있지 않은 경우에 거리에 따른 신호 감쇄가 심하여 릴레이를 이용한 협력 통신 기법이 효과적이다. 릴레이를 이용한 협력통신 방법은 크게 증폭 후 전송(AF)과 복호 후 전송(DF)의 두 가지 프로토콜로 나누어지며, AF프로토콜은 Soft information을 보낼 수 있다는 장점이 있고 DF프로토콜은 릴레이에서 복호 후 데이터를 보낸다는 점에서 부호화 이득을 얻어 낼 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 또한 AF와 DF의 장점을 결합한 복호 후 증폭 전송(DAF)프로토콜이 소개되었고 이에 대한 분석이 이루어졌다. 이에 본 논문은 60GHz 시스템과 AWGN, Rayleigh 페이딩환경에서 AF프로토콜에 대한 DAF프로토콜의 성능 이득을 보이고 비교한다.
