Oversampling modulators based on high-order sigma-delta modulation provide an effective means of achieving high-resolution A/D conversion in a VLSI technology. Because high-order noise shaping great]y reduces the quantization noise in the signal band. This paper introduces a third-order cascaded sigma-delta modulator that is stable for large input level. Modulator was simulated 3.3V single power supply voltage in 0.65$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS technology. It achieves 80㏈ SNR for a 20㎑ input signal bandwidth. A lock frequency is 3㎒ that is 80 oversampling ratio.

This paper proposed symbol rate method which does not require a priori knowledge on the symbol rate and simplified modulation identification method to classify BPSK, QPSK, 8PSK signal. In order to estimate the unknown symbol rate, sliding FFT and simple moving average to estimate the spectrum of the signals is utilized, and sliding window and decimation, LPF blcok to estimate the proper symbol rate is used. Although conventional modulation ID method must use SNR value as the test statistics, the receiver cannot estimate the SNR value since the receiver cannot know the modulation type at the start of communication, and bit resolution is high due to using nonlinear function such as log, cosh. Therefore, we proposed the simplified fixed SNR value method. The performance of symbol rate estimation and modulation ID is shown using Monte Carlo computer simulation. This paper show that symbol rate estimation also has good performance in low SNR, and proposed simplified fixed SNR method has almost equivalent performance compared to conventional method.

In this paper, we investigated the degree of compensation for WDM channel signal distortion due to chromatic dispersion, self phase modulation(SPM) and cross phase modulation(XPM). The considered system is 120 Gbps (3${\times}$40 Gbps) intensity modulation direct detection(IM/DD) WDM transmission system with path-averaged intensity approximation(PAIA) mid-span spectral inversion(MSSI) as compensation method. This system have highly nonlinear dispersion shifted fiber(HNL-DSF) as nonlinear medium in optical phase conjugator(OPC). We use 1 dB eye opening peralty(EOP) in order to evaluate the characteristics of compensation for distorted WDM channels. We confirmed that improvement of transmission distance and performance is achieved by MSSI method to distorted long-haul IM/DD WDM channels due to chromatic dispersion, SPM and XPM. And in the aspect of compensation for distorted pulse due to XPM, the MSSI method is effective to IM/DD WDM transmission system with high fiber dispersion coefficient.

In this paper, we present the design of delta-sigma modulation-based class-D amplifier for driving headphones in portable audio applications. The presented class-D amplifier generates PWM(pulse width modulation) signals using a single-bit fourth-order high-performance delta-sigma modulator. To achieve a high SNR(signal-to-noise ratio) and ensure system stability, the locations of the modulator loop filter poles and zeros are optimized and thoroughly simulated. The test chip is fabricated using a standard $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The active area of the chip is $1.6mm^2$. It operates for the signal bandwidth from 20Hz to 20kHz. The measured THD+N(total harmonic distortion plus noise) at the $32{\Omega}$ load terminal is less than 0.03% from a 3V power supply.

A heterogenous network is the one of key technologies for 5G, where one cell is divided into small cells in order to extend coverage and support high data rates. Divided cells aggravates the intercell interference problem as the cell edge increases. In order to avoid the intercell interference, it is the best to allocate the different spectrum for each cells. However, it also decreases the spectral efficiency. Therefore, the trade-off between the spectral efficiency gain and the signal quality loss by the interference should be considered for an efficient spectrum sharing in the heterogenous network. The adaptive modulation is the method to change the transmitted bit according to the channel quality, which is adopted as the standard in the most practical communication systems. It should be considered to applied the performance analysis into the practical systems. In this paper, the overall cell data rates is analyzed for the heterogenous network under the adaptive modulation. The Monte Carlo simulation results verify the correctness of the analysis.

This paper shows significant methods that improve the lifespan of LED modules as well as efficiently using an aluminum heat-sink for LED module in high power. It proposes a method that raises stability and lifespan to protect LED modules and the power unit when the LED module has been used for a long hours at high temperatures. During the research, we applied a method of pulse-width modulation (PWM) in order to prevent the phenomenon that the entire power of a system is turned off and the lifespan is reduced when the LED nodule reacts to the high temperatures. To protect the LED module and SMPS based on high efficiency, a temperature sensor is attached underneath the circuit board and the sensor measures the temperature of circuit board when the LED module is powered on. The electrical power connected to SMPS is controlled by PWM when the temperature of the LED module reaches a particular temperature.

We studied the characteristics of annular phase gratings as spatial frequency filters. We first calculated the Fraunhofer diffraction patterns of annular gratings and then got the modulation transfer function (MTF) from the zeroth order Hankel transform of the intensity distribution function. Binaryphase annular grating shows higher diffraction efficiency than binary phase rectangular grating. But the MTF decreases linearly in the low-frequency region as that of rectangular grating does. The diffraction pattern of 4-phase annular grating is similar to that of 2-phase grating and hence MTFs of the two are much alike. For 8-phase annular grating, the 7th order diffracted beam is the lowest one next to the first. Consequently, the diffraction efficiency is very high and the MTF graph is curved upward. The diffracted beams except the first order are negligible and hence the MTF characteristics are more improved in the case of 16-phase grating. But the degree of improvement becomes lowered c(Impaled with 8-phase grating. We made a 16-phase annular grating and measured its MTF. The experimental result agrees well with the calculated one.

In Military MicroWave communication, the distance of link, availability, transmission capacity is the important point in order to design the circuit. Currently, operated by fixed modulation, in the future it will be evolved to the modulation techniques enabled to increase the transmission capacity. It would be hard to consistently guarantee the transmission quality of the high-availability because the occurrence probability of fading increase in terms of the link distance for the case of the long distance. In the case of the modulation techniques for the transmission of high-capacity, as the distance is long, a falling-off in the fade margin from the link budget analysis cause the decrease in the availability. It is difficult to provide QoS guaranteed connection. In this paper, we propose the performance improvement technique of transmission by the variable allocation of the bandwidth and the higher priority transmission technique using setting the ratio of the higher priority capacity in association with the distance of link. Also we suggest the alternative of the calculation for channel transmission capacity to design the circuit.

This paper presents a high frequency modulation electronic ballast for the metal halide lamp. As the proposed ballast operates in high frequency ranges and can start up the lamp using the LC resonant circuit without external igniter, the proposed ballast is very compact and has a good efficiency in comparison with the conventional low frequency electronic ballast. The proposed ballast is controlled with the modulated frequency in the range of 20kHz to 100kHz in order to avoid the acoustic resonance phenomenon. In this paper, a new realtime acoustic resonance detection method is proposed to evaluate the characteristics of the ballast. The no load protection algorithm and power control algorithm through the detection of the DC link current are described. Finally, the experimental results on the proto-type ballast of 150w metal halide lamp with the proposed methods are discussed.
