The regrowth of OQPSK power spectral sidelobes from AM/AM and AM/PM amplifier nonlinearity is analyzed. The time-domain expression for amplifier output shows how spectral re-growth will depend on the cubic coefficient of the Taylor's series of the amplifier nonlinearity as well as input amplitude ripple. Closed form spectrum calculations show that the spectral sidelobes produced by AM/PM take the same form as those produced by AM/AM. The rate of growth of AM/PM sidelobes is, however, not as great as for AM/AM.

Amplifier linearity plays a major role in the quality of mordern communication systems. The Power amplifier should be operated near saturation region to achieve high efficiency But at this region amplitude and phase distortions of the amplifier remarkably increase with the input power increase and cause a significant adjacent channel interference. In this paper, an independently controllable AM/AM and AM/PM predistortion linearizers consisted of two bias feed resistance linearizers is proposed. This linearizer allows independent adjustment of the AM/AM and AM/PM curves by using two adjustable voltages to compensate tile power amplifier non-linearities. The predistortion linearizer can improve the ACPR by 5.3dB with cdma2000 multi carrier signals. And by applying this linearizer to two-tone(880MHz) power amplifier, third order IMD products are improved up to 8(dB).

3D printing AM processes have advantages in complex shapes, customized fabrication and prototype development stage. However, due to various parameters based on both the machine and the material, the AM process can produce finished output after several trials and errors in the initial stage. As such, minimizing or optimizing negative factors for various parameters of the 3D printing AM process could be a solution to reduce the trial-and-error failures in the early stages of such an AM process. In addition, this can be largely solved through software simulation in the preprocessing process of 3D printing AM process. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate a simulation technology for the AM software, especially Ansys Inc. The metal 3D printing AM process, the AM process simulation software, and the AM process simulation processor were examined. Through this study, it will be helpful to understand 3D printing AM process and AM process simulation processor.

Amplifier linearity plays a major role in the design of mordern communication systems. An independently controllable AM/AM and AM/PM predistortion linearizers that consists of two bias feed resistance linearizers is proposed. This linearizer allows independent adjustment of the AM/AM and AM/PM curves by using two adjustable voltages to compensate the power amplifier non-linearities. The predistortion linearizer can improve the ACPR by SdB with cdma2000 multi carrier signals. By applying this linearizer to two-tone 880MHz power amplifier, an improvement of adjacent channel leakage power up to 5dBm has been achieved.

The objective of this study was to investigate a simulation technology for the AM field based on ANSYS Inc.. The introduction of metal 3D printing AM process, and the examining of the present status of AM process simulation software, and the AM process simulation processor were done in the previous study (part 1). This present study (part 2) examined the use of the AM process simulation processor, presented in Part 1, through direct execution of Topology Optimization, Ansys Workbench, Additive Print and Additive Science. Topology Optimization can optimize additive geometry to reduce mass while maintaining strength for AM products. This can reduce the amount of material required for additive and significantly reduce additive build time. Ansys Workbench and Additive Print simulate the build process in the AM process and optimize various process variables (printing parameters and supporter composition), which will enable the AM to predict the problems that may occur during the build process, and can also be used to predict and correct deformations in geometry. Additive Science can simulate the material to find the material characteristic before the AM process simulation or build-up. This can be done by combining specimen preparation, measurement, and simulation for material measurements to find the exact material characteristics. This study will enable the understanding of the general process of AM simulation more easily. Furthermore, it will be of great help to a reader who wants to experience and appreciate AM simulation for the first time.

The cure kinetics for diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA)/4, 4'-methylene dianiline(MDA) system with or without lOphr of phenyl glycidyl ether(PGE)-acetamide(AcAm) was studied by autocatalytic cure expression. On the dynamic DSC curves, the exothermic peak temperature and the onset temperature of reaction decreased with the addition of PGE-AcAm. Regardless of the addition of PGE-AcAm, the shape of the conversion curve showed sigmoid, and this meant that DGEBA/MDA and DGEBA/MDA/PGE-AcAm systems followed autocatalytic cure reaction. When PGE-AcAm was added to DGEBA/MDA system, the cure rate increased about 1.2~1.4 times due to the catalytic role of hydroxyl groups in PGE-AcAm.

This paper has analyzed the AM-AM and AM-PM characteristics of 7.9 GHz~8.4 GHz X-band TWT used for satellite communication and improved its linearity and IMD performance by using linearizer. The TWT amplifier with the linearizer shows better AM-AM and AM-PM conversion, and has increased 1 dB compression point by 12.3 dB and $2.0^{\circ}/dB$ phase distortion point by 10 dB. The 3rd order intermodulation distortion, IMD3 is measured to be 37.0 dBc that is 16.2 dB improvement at the operating output. This paper also proposed the measurement method of IMD for high power amplifier, and that TWT amplifier can have better linearity and output power by compensating for the AM-PM characteristics.

We have studied initial oxidation of the alkali metal(AM)/Si(111) surface using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and reflection high energy electron diffraction(RHEED) at room temperature(RT) and high temperature(HT)(300~50$0^{\circ}C$). The oxidation of the Si(111)7$\times$7 surface was promoted by the adsorption of 1 momolayer(ML) AM, whereas no promotion occurred for submonolayer(<0.5 ML) adsorbed Si(111)7$\times$7 surface at RT. O Is core level spectra were measured with increasing oxygen exposure. It was found that the oxygen adsorbed on the Si(111)7$\times$7-AM surface have two different bond configuration, Si-O and Am-O, respectively. From these results, we discussed the role of AM-O bonding in the promoted oxidation. At HT(300~50$0^{\circ}C$), the AM-adsorbed surface became very inactive with the structural transformation to the 3$\times$1-AM. We present the results of the oxidation of the Si(111)3$\times$1-AM(Na, K, Cs) surface.

In this paper, we propose new modulation schemes using the conventional CACB (Constant Amplitude Coded Multicode Biorthogonal) modulation with constant amplitude property. Also the proposed modulation schemes supports high transmission data rate by increasing the spectral efficiency, In order to obtain the high spectral efficiency, the $Q^2$AM (Quadrature-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) and CA-$Q^2$AM (Constant Amplitude-$Q^2$AM) are used. We explain the simplest combining modulation scheme of CACB and $Q^2$AM (i.e., CACB-$Q^2$AM). However, this modulation scheme cannot support the constant amplitude property. Hence the first CACB-CA-$Q^2$AM (or CACB-CA-$Q^2$AM I) modulation scheme is proposed for the constant amplitude property. In the modulation scheme, the redundant constant amplitude encoding (spectral efficiency decrease) is required. Therefore, the second CACB-CA-$Q^2$AM (or CACB-CA-$Q^2$AM II) modulation scheme is proposed retaining the constant amplitude and the spectral efficiency. Computer simulations show that the proposed CACB-CA-$Q^2$AM II is the efficient modulation scheme.
