  • In this paper, We designed the millimeter wave power amplifier employing PBG. The amplifier has the bandwidth from 24.6 GHz to 24.75 GHz. For improvement of the Linearity and the PAE of the amplifier, PBG was designed to suppress the 2nd harmonic of the Amplifer. The Proposed PBG have smaller area and better rejection characteristic than conventional PBG structure. The fabricated PBG shows 35 dB or more of rejection characteristic at the 2nd harmonic band of the amplifier. The amplifier has balanced structure having lange coupler which means better input$.$output return loss and higher output power.

  • Generally, the repeater in CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) included HPA(HI-Power Amplifier) to amplifier communication signals. Also , HPA contained PD(Predistortor) to maintain the linearization of amplifier characteristics. A configuration component of PD have been used electricity nonlinear devices such that diode. But this diode takes many influences at the circumstance temperature. Consequently, it can't maintain output linearization, and drop the communication quality. The manufacturer set bias of the circuit to the manual at the first out of ware-house low But the Q-point changes according to the change of the high temperature or low temperature. Therefore, we designed a system to maintain the Q-point by FDM(Fuzzy Decision Maker) in this paper.

  • In this paper, an analog-domain powr-reduction technique for a low-voltage CMOS operational amplifier and its application to clock-based VLSI systems are proposed. The proposed technique cuts off the bias current of the op amp during a half cycle of the clock in the sleeping mode and resumes the curent supply sequentially during the remaining cycle of the clock in the normal operating mode. The proposed sequential sbiasing technique reduces about 50% of the op amp power and improves the circuit performance through high phase margin and stable settling behavior of the output voltage. The power-reduction technique is applied to a sample-and-hold amplifier which is one of the critical circuit blocks used in the front-end stage of analog and/or digital integrated systems. The SHA was simulated and analyzed in a 0.8.mu.m n-well double-poly double-metal CMOS technology.

  • A single-pixel photon counter is designed using a folded cascode CMOS operational amplifier which is self-biased. Since there is no need for a voltage bias circuit, the layout area and power consumption of the designed counter are reduced. The signal voltage of the designed charge sensitive amplifier (CSA) with the MagnaChip $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process is simulated to be 138mv, near the theoretical voltage of 151mV. And the layout area of the designed counter is $100{\mu}m{\times}100{\mu}m$.

  • In this paper, an improved Norton amplifier is proposed and the problems caused by the current input in the Norton amplifier, which has advantages in current transmission, are analyzed. The output of the voltage follower consisting of an operational-amplifier with constant output voltage characteristics is used as an input terminal of the proposed circuit. It is configured to detect the power supply current passing through the voltage follower and extract the current from the input terminal. The performance of the improved Norton amplifier is verified at experiment according to the input current. The results are compared with conventional Norton amplifier. Consequently, the input offset voltage, which is a problem in the conventional Norton amplifier, was removed in the proposed circuit. In addition, the average error of the output voltage with respect to the input current was reduced to 4.755%. It is verified that the characteristics of the proposed circuit are improved.

  • Wireless power transmission system is one of the very interesting field not only in a technical and economical point of view but also that people are still trying to realize lossless power transmission. This paper has a purpose on the efficient power transmission at the passive type ICcard by using wireless power transmission system. The most difficult but important part of the passive type RF-ID system is building the system that supplies power from Reader-antenna to IDcard-antenna. To check what is the most efficient way to deliver power depending on what kind of specifications of the power-amp in reader, antenna and antenna in IDcard is for operating IDcard circuit efficiently receiving the power from reader-antenna. For this, we used 125kHz sinewave for RF signal as a basic specification, power-amp : OP-Amp for amplifying signal and AB Class push-pull power-amp for amplifying power, loop type antenna.

  • Using a simplified high-frequency small-signal equivalent circuit model for BSIM3 MOSFET, the fully differential two-stage folded-cascode CMOS operational amplifier is analyzed to obtain its small-signal voltage transfer function. As a result, the expressions for dc gain, five zero frequencies, five pole frequencies, unity-gain frequency, and phase margin are derived for op amp design using design equations. Then the analysis result is verified through the comparison with Spice simulations of both a high speed op amp and a low power op amp designed for the $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS process.
