This paper presents a 2-6 GHz GaN HEMT power amplifier monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) with bridged-T all-pass filters and output-reactance-compensation shorted stubs using the $0.25{\mu}m$ GaN HEMT foundry process that is developed by WIN Semiconductors, Inc. The bridged-T filter is modified to mitigate the bandwidth degradation of impedance matching due to the inherent channel resistance of the transistor, and the shorted stub with a bypass capacitor minimizes the output reactance of the transistor to ease wideband load impedance matching for maximum output power. The fabricated power amplifier MMIC shows a flat linear gain of 20 dB or more, an average output power of 40.1 dBm and a power-added efficiency of 19-26 % in 2 to 6 GHz, which is very useful in applications such as communication jammers and electronic warfare systems.

In this paper, a wideband power efficient 2.2 GHz - 4.9 GHz Medium Power Amplifier (MPA), has been designed and fabricated using $0.8{\mu}m$ SiGe BiCMOS process technology. Passive elements such as parallel-branch spiral inductor, metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor and three types of resistors are all integrated in this process. This MPA is a two stage amplifier with all matching components and bias circuits integrated on-chip. A P1dB of 17.7 dBm has been measured with a power gain of 8.7 dB at 3.4 GHz with a total current consumption of 30 mA from a 3 V supply voltage at $25^{\circ}C$. The measured 3 dB bandwidth is 2.7 GHz and the maximum Power Added Efficiency (PAE) is 41 %, which are very good results for a fully integrated Medium PA. The fabricated circuit occupies a die area of $1.7mm{\times}0.8mm$.

정보화시대에 발 맞춰 인터넷은 유선인터넷에서 무선인터넷으로 발전하게 되었다. 무선인터넷의 수요가 급증하자 기존에 사용된 2.4GHz대역의 통신은 포화상태에 이르게 되었으며 효율과 성능이 현저히 떨어지게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 T-슬롯 마이크로 스트립 안테나가 가지는 좁은 대역폭의 단점을 개선할 수 있는 U-슬롯을 채택하여 5 GHz 대역의 마이크로 스트립 배열 안테나를 연구하였다. 최적의 주파수 특성을 얻기 위하여 단일 안테나와 배열 안테나의 최적화 과정을 진행하였으며, 이를 기반으로 $2{\times}2$ 배열 방식을 통한 U-슬롯 마이크로스트립 배열 안테나의 가능성을 확인하였다.

AAL2 has been adopted for bandwidth-efficient trans-mission of low bit tate traffic over ATM networks in ITUT and ATM Forum. Since ATM/AAL2 is expected to be used as a switching technology in third-generation mobile access networks and mobile data traffic is expected to increase rapidly in near future, there must be a need for efficient scheduling scheme satisfying the QoS requirement of ow bit rate voice as well as the one of high bit rate data. In this paper, we propose a new class-scheduling scheme to improve data packet loss probability, while Qos of voice traffic is guaranteed, when data traffic is multiplexed together with mobile voice traffic into a single ATM VCC. The proposed scheme can efficiently support data traffic by assigning a time threshold value to voice traffic. Through simulation study, we show that the proposed scheme does not only achieve better efficiency for providing both mobile voice and data services than HOL class-scheduling scheme and normal FIFO scheme, but also guarantees mean voice packet delay under a certain criteria.

본 논문에서는 트렐리스 부호화된 MDPSK-OFDM의 차동검파에서 BER(bit error rate) 성능을 향상시키기 위해 다중 위상 검파를 수행한다. 제안된 비터비 디코더는 다중 위상차를 가지 메트릭으로 사용하는 슬라이딩 방식의 다중 위상 검출 방식이며 이러한 가지 메트릭을 사용하는 비터비 알고리듬을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 다중 위상 검출을 이용한 MDPSK-OFDM은 대역폭과 전력의 효율성을 감소시키지 않고 같은 SNR에서 BER 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다는 것을 보여준다. 또한 제안된 디코더 방식과 알고리듬은 다중 반송파뿐만 아니라 전통적인 단일 반송파 변조에도 사용됨 수 있다.

Korea Department of Defense has been developing Link-K, Korean Joint Tactical Datalink, to support their independent joint operations and trying to enlarge the scope of Link-K tactical message delivery to nodes in IP based tactical networks for sharing situation awareness more broadly. A Link-K tactical message size is too small to fit into an IP packet, inefficiently wasting most of the IP packet space of the low bandwidth IP-based tactical networks. This paper proposes a new Link-K tactical message aggregation and delivery method when tactical messages need to be sent to some nodes located at IP-based tactical networks. With numerical analysis and OPNET simulation studies, we prove the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method.

Distributed massive MIMO systems, which have high bandwidth efficiency and can accommodate a tremendous amount of traffic using algorithms such as zero-forcing beam forming (ZFBF), may be deployed in large public venues with the antennas mounted under-floor. In this case the channel gain matrix H can be modeled as a multi-banded matrix, in which off-diagonal entries decay both exponentially due to heavy human penetration loss and polynomially due to free space propagation loss. To enable practical implementation of such systems, we present a multi-banded matrix inversion algorithm that substantially reduces the complexity of ZFBF by keeping the most significant entries in H and the precoding matrix W. We introduce a parameter p to control the sparsity of H and W and thus achieve the tradeoff between the computational complexity and the system throughput. The proposed algorithm includes dense and sparse precoding versions, providing quadratic and linear complexity, respectively, relative to the number of antennas. We present analysis and numerical evaluations to show that the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) increases linearly with p in dense precoding. In sparse precoding, we demonstrate the necessity of using directional antennas by both analysis and simulations. When the directional antenna gain increases, the resulting SIR increment in sparse precoding increases linearly with p, while the SIR of dense precoding is much less sensitive to changes in p.

Buried-heterostructure lasers are more difficult to fabricate than weakly index guided or gain guided lasers. However, these strongly index guided structures are most suitable for a source of lightwave transmission systems. But, for conventional etched mesa buried heterostructure lasers, the regrowth of InP blocking layer is difficult and irreproducible. So, there are inevitable leakage currents flowing outside the active region resulting poor performance. To eliminate these problems, we used a planar buried heterostructure. As a results, the average threshold current was 28mA and the differential quantum efficiency was about 20% per facet for $1.3\mum$ GaInAsP/InP PBH-LD. The initial forward leakage current was not exceeding $1\muA$ and the reverse voltage for $-10\muA$ was -3V~-5V, these are improved figure of 1mA~10mA and -1V~-3V for EMBH laser diode. The chip modulation bandwidth was more than 2.4GHz for $1.5I_th$.

A 6-GHz-to-18-GHz monolithic nonuniform distributed power amplifier has been designed using the load modulation of increased series gate capacitance. This amplifier was implemented using a $0.25-{\mu}m$ AlGaN/GaN HEMT process on a SiC substrate. With the proposed load modulation, we enhanced the amplifier's simulated performance by 4.8 dB in output power, and by 13.1% in power-added efficiency (PAE) at the upper limit of the bandwidth, compared with an amplifier with uniform gate coupling capacitors. Under the pulse-mode condition of a $100-{\mu}s$ pulse period and a 10% duty cycle, the fabricated power amplifier showed a saturated output power of 39.5 dBm (9 W) to 40.4 dBm (11 W) with an associated PAE of 17% to 22%, and input/output return losses of more than 10 dB within 6 GHz to 18 GHz.

본 논문은 소형 항공용 엔진에 적용되는 영구자석 발전기와 단극 발전기의 특성을 기술한다. 영구자석 발전기는 소형화와 빠른 동특성을 장점으로 갖는데, 빠른 동특성은 전적으로 DC/DC 컨버터의 특성에 따르며, 이러한 컨버터는 부피 및 비용의 증가를 가져온다. 반면, 단극 발전기는 계자권선의 자속제어를 통한 단순한 전압제어가 장점이다. 최근, 전자부하들의 넓은 입력전압 범위와 시스템 효율성 등을 고려해 DC/DC 컨버터 없는 영구자석 발전기가 추천된다.
