In the satellite communications, the frequency sharing with other services is important because the service coverage is generally very wide and overlaps with those of other wireless services. This paper introduces a new technique to mitigate interference into the terrestrial stations from the Earth station in the same frequency band by means of band segmentations which are portions of the overall operation frequency band divided by frequency reuse factor. We consider a multi-beam satellite system, where frequency bands are reused in each satellite cell. The terrestrial stations use band segmentations of adjacent satellite cells, and this may decrease the interferences. By this way, the terrestrial and satellite systems can share the same frequency bands efficiently. The simulation is performed at frequency reuse factors, seven and three. The simulation results show that the proposed method can highly reduce the interference level to -168 dBW or -163 dBW depending on the considered frequency reuse factor from -117 dBW at the 90% link availability.

This paper presents the digital PLL architecture and design for improving the frequency detection range and locking time for wide-band frequency synthesizer applications. In this research, a wide-range digital logic quadricorrelator is used for wide-band and fast frequency detector and sigma-delta modulator with 2-bit up-down counter is adopted for DCO control. The proposed digital PLL reduces the phase noise from quantization effect and is suitable for implementation of wide-band fast-locking as well as low power features, which is in high demand for mobile multimedia applications.

The 1.63㎓, 2.33㎓ dual-band PLL frequency synthesizer has been developed for applications to the miniature repeater. The miniature dual-band repeater will be used at shopping mall, basements and underground parking lots. The in-loop 1.63㎓, 2.33㎓ dual-band PLL frequency synthesizer has been developed by designing Si BJT VCO and PLL loop circuits with Colpitts. The prototype of 1.63㎓, 2.33㎓ dual-band PLL frequency synthesizer of size 19${\times}$19${\times}$8(mm) has shown operating frequencies of 1.63㎓, 2.33㎓ ranges, RF output of 1dBm(PCS), 1dBm(IMT-2000), phase noise of -100 dBc/Hz(PCS), -95dBc/Hz(IMT-2000) at 10KHz offset, harmonics suppression of -24dB c(PCS), -15dBc(IMT-2000).

It is important to develop a transducer that generates uniform output power through frequency control of the HIFU at 4 MHz frequency for the high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) skin diseases treatment. In this paper, a 4 MHz frequency band HIFU system for skin disease treatment was designed, manufactured and developed. In HIFU, even for the ultrasonic vibrator in the 4 MHz frequency band, the characteristics of the output power of the HIFU are different depending on the difference in the thickness of the PZT material. Through the development of a system amplifier, the sound output of the HIFU transducer was improved to more than 48 W and uniform output power control was possible. And, it is possible to control the output power even in a frequency band of 4.0 to 4.7 MHz, which is wider than 4.0 MHz, and shows the resonance frequency of the transducer. The maximum output power for each frequency was 49.969 W and the minimum value was 48.018 W. The maximum output power compared to the minimum output power is 49.969 W, which is uniform within 4.1%. It was confirmed that the output power of the HIFU through the amplifier can be uniformly controlled in the 4 MHz frequency band.

In this paper, the frequency synthesis(FS) MMIC and the receive MMICs were developed for a Ka-band compact radar. Also a compact Ka-band frequency synthesizer and a receiver were developed based on those MMICs. The FS MMIC and the wireless-receiver(WR) MMIC to receive the baseband frequency were manufactured by a 65 nm CMOS process and the front-end(FE) MMIC to receive the Ka-band frequency was manufactured by a 150 nm GaN process. Linear frequency modulation waveform and pulse waveform for the transmit signal were measured by output signal of frequency synthesizer. The measured performance of developed receiver including the FE MMICs and the WR MMIC were ≧ 80 dB gain, ≦ 6 dB noise figure and ≧ 10 dBm at OP1dB. The measurement results of the developed frequency synthesizer and the receiver including the manufactured MMICs showed that they could be applied to Ka-band compact radar.

A dual-band through-the-wall imaging radar receiver for a frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar system was designed and fabricated. The operating frequency bands of the receiver are S-band (2-4 GHz) and X-band (8-12 GHz). If the target is behind a wall, wall-reflected waves are rejected by a reconfigurable $G_m-C$ high-pass filter. The filter is designed using a high-order admittance synthesis method, and consists of transconductor circuits and capacitors. The cutoff frequency of the filter can be tuned by changing the reference current. The receiver system is fabricated on a printed circuit board using commercial devices. Measurements show 44.3 dB gain and 3.7 dB noise figure for the S-band input, and 58 dB gain and 3.02 dB noise figure for the X-band input. The cutoff frequency of the filter can be tuned from 0.7 MHz to 2.4 MHz.
