To achieve functions of doppler measurement, MTI(Moving Target Indicator), high-resolution, and others in radar system, all circuits of transmitter and receiver are to be performed in coherent system. In this paper, we use TWTA(Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier), STALO(Stable Local Oscillator) and COHO(Coherent Oscillator) to design of coherent radar transceiver, and calculates noise figure of designed receiver. Using radar equation calculated noise figure, maximum detecting range of each transmitting mode can be calculated.

A CMOS frequency synthesizer for $5{\sim}6$ GHz UNII-band sub-harmonic direct-conversion receiver has been developed. For quadrature down-conversion with sub-harmonic mixing, octa-phase local oscillator (LO) signals are generated by an integer-N type phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer. The complex timing issue of feedback divider of the PLL with large division ratio is solved by using multimodulus prescaler. Phase noise of the local oscillator signal is improved by employing the ring-type LC-tank oscillator and switching its tail current source. Implemented in a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology, the phase noise of the LO signal is lower than -80 dBc/Hz and -113 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz and 1MHz offset, respect-tively. The measured reference spur is lower than -70 dBc and the power consumption is 40 m W from a 1.8 V supply voltage.

One of the most important design parameters in a microwave radio transmitting system is to reduce spurious response from the output spectrum of the transmitting system. A Local oscillator (LO) is seldom totally pure and at the least contain some LO harmonic signals. A LO or any oscillator is a transmitter if provided with a suitable radiator, conduction, or leakage path. Where mixer is employed in the output of the LO mixer generated spurs can be increased by RF amplifier. To reduce LO leakage, notch filter or band pass filter has been conventionally used. In this paper, the leakage reduction(LR) signal, which has the same magnitude and the opposite phase with respect to LO leakage signal, is added to the output of mixer of the wireless LAN system. The LO leakage is reduced by 30 dB more than the conventional methods do. The proposed method is potentially suitable for low-cost, reliable, and simple application of monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs)

In this paper, we propose the PLL system of the local oscillator system for the millimeter wave band's radio astronomy receiving system. The development of the proposed local oscillator system based on the YIG oscillator VCO with $26.5\~40GHz$ specification. This system consists of the oscillator part including the YIG VCO, the harmonic mixer, and the isolator, the RF processing part including the triplexer, limiter, and RF discrimination processor, and the PLL system including YIG modulator and controller. Based on this configuration, we verify the frequency and power stability of the developed local oscillator system according to some temperature variation. From this test results we confirm the stable output frequency and power characteristic peformance of the developed LO system at constant temperature.

A Gunn waveguide-oscillator, mechanically tunable from 60 to 70 GHz, has been developed for use as a local oscillator(LO) is millimeter radio telescope. Disc size, post size and characteristics of Gunn diode have an effect on the frequency tuning characteristics of Gunn oscillator. In this paper we report experimental results and design criteria for a wideband tunable Gunn oscillator. The developed Gunn oscillator has been used in the 100/150 GHz band dual channel receiver for the Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory.

Chaotic oscillators can generate wide-band signals and the spectrum characteristics of the wide-band signals are not changed by switching on and off the output power of the oscillators. When communication systems use a chaotic oscillator, the communication system need not a local oscillator and a mixer used in conventional transceivers. Therefore the configuration of a communication system using a chaotic oscillator is simple and have the characteristics of low-power consumption. In this paper we design and implement a chaotic oscillator. And the test results of the implemented chaotic oscillator for UWB systems are presented. The implemented chaotic oscillator has -8.11dBm of the output power with 500MHz channel bandwidth at 3.4GHz of the center frequency and has about 410MHz of -10dB bandwidth.

By self-homodyne method we measured the relative phase fluctuation of a light wave. Balanced detection system can eliminate local oscillator excess noise and multiport detection makes it possible ot measure the phase change of the signal beam. Deriving the SB(Signal Beam) and the LO(Local Oscillator) from the same laser source, we find the SB maintain constant phase relative to that of the LO. We have introduced a phase fluctuation in the SB by modulating the beam path of the SB. The measured phase fluctuation agreed well with the predicted one, thereby we confirmed the reliability of our system.

본 논문에서는 Local Oscillator(LO)의 누설신호 제거를 위해 혼합기의 특성을 이용하여 광대역의 특성을 가지고 RF 채널에 근접한 누설신호를 제거할수 있는 구조를 제안하였다. 제안된 구조는 Half-LO 주파수를 이용하는 방버븡로 LO 누설신호를 일반적인 다른 경우보다 RF 신호대역에서 멀리 떨어진 대역으로 분리시킴으로서 대역 통과여파기로서 쉽게 제거하였다. 상향변환기로서 필요한 저역통과여파기, 대역통과여파기, 그리고 증폭기를 설계하였고 혼합기에 의한 영상성분은 혼합기의 위상을 특성을 이용하여 제거하였다.
