A millimeter-wave distributed frequency doubler has been designed with distributed block and frequency tunable output reflectors. The simulated conversion loss of 9.5 ㏈ to 7.7 ㏈ from 54.6 ㎓ to 62.4 ㎓ output frequencies is achieved with fundamental and third harmonic signal rejections of more than 10 ㏈c. The fabricated chip has the size of 1.2 mm${\times}$1.0 mm. Some measured results of frequency and bias dependent characteristics are presented for the fabricated PHEMT MMIC frequency doubler. The designed doubler has two transistors, and if one of the transistors fails the doubler unit still operates with reduced gain. The failure effect of the PHEMT has been simulated, and compared to the measured data of which one PHEMT is not operating properly.

In this paper, NRD guide band pass filter with newly designed inductive iris structure is proposed and analyzed with its test results. In case of common NRD guide filter with air gap coupled structure, it was not easy to fabricate and process or each NRD guide dielectric resonator blocks using PTFE. However, in this our research, each dielectric resonator fabricated in a single NRD guide is coupled with inductive iris located on metal plates. The structure is suitable for mass production of a precise and reliable millimeter-wave filter applications. As a result of measurements, designed NRD guide inductive iris filter has superior performance. The pass band is 38.66~39.06 MHz with 400 MHz bandwidth, insertion loss is about 1.4 dB and return loss is below -18 dB.

This paper presents the influence on the transmission characteristics of dimensional tolerances of rectangular waveguides usually used as a low-loss transmission line in the millimeter-wave band. We derived the Green's functions of the waveguide with eigenfunction expansion method. The reflection coefficient of the waveguide with a post is calculated by using internal impedance in order to investigate the influence of dimensional tolerances of the waveguide. In order to check the validity of the theoretical analysis, the calculated reflection coefficients are compared with the measured results.

The international standards of high-rate WPAN (Wireless Personal Area network) are under development by IEEE802.15 WPAN TG3 (Task Group 3). The study area of TG3 mainly consists of three parts: high rate physical and media access control layer in 2.4GHz ISM (Industrial Scientific Medical) non licensed frequency band; an alternative high rate physical layer by using UWB (Ultra Wide Band); and another alternative high rate physical layer based on millimeter wave. This paper describes the standardization trends of UWB and millimeter wave.

A density of phonon is increased by application of electric field. At this time the phonon which has higher energy than around is called hot phonon is disappeared after 7 picosecond by scattering with electron and loss energy. Since the lifetime of phonon is very short, the effects of hot phonon can be neglected in the low speed semiconductor device, but it must be considered in high speed devices. DC and AC electric fields are applied to bulk GaAs, and the density of phonon is obtained and analyzed for its effects on electron velocity and electron distribution using Monte Carlo simulation method. Under high electric filed the density of hot phonon increased and energy of hot phonon is decreased by scattering with electron on the other hand the energy of electron is increased. Therefore electron move from central valley of conduntion band to satellite vallies and the valocity of electron decrease since the mass of electron in satellite vally is heavier than central vally. In millimeter wave frequencies, the effects of hot phonon increased at higher frequencies.

This paper discusses a graphic user interface(GUI) for the concealed target segmentation. The human subject hiding a metal gun is captured by the passive millimeter wave(MMW) imaging system. The imaging system operates on the regime of 8 mm wavelength. The MMW image is analyzed by the multi-level segmentation to segment and identify a concealed weapon under clothing. The histogram of the passive MMW image is modeled with the Gaussian mixture distribution. LBG vector quantization(VQ) and expectation and maximization(EM) algorithms are sequentially applied to segment the body and the object area. In the experiment, the GUI is implemented by the MFC(Microsoft Foundation Class) and the OpenCV(Computer Vision) libraries and tested in real-time showing the efficiency of the system.

In this paper, new micromachined tunable bandpass filters for multi-band millimeter-wave telecommunication systems are proposed. Two types of mm-wave tunable filters are fabricated using micromachining technology and the responses of the filters are measured. One is two-pole lumped elements filter and the other two-pole resonators filter. Frequency tunability of the filter is achieved by changing the gap between a common CPW ground plate and the movable cantilever beam connected to the transmission line with the controllable range of 2.5 ${\mu}m$. The deflection of cantilever beam is measured with the applied DC voltage. With the applied bias voltage from 0 to 50 V, the fabricated filters show 0.6 GHz(2.3 %) at 26.6 GHz, and 0.8 GHz(2.5%) at 32 GHz center frequency shift for the lumped elements and resonators filter, respectively.

A planar, light-weight, and low-cost notch filter structure is required for the KSTAR ECEI (Electron Cyclotron Emission Imaging) system to protect the mixer arrays from spurious plasma heating power. Without protection, this heating power can significantly degrade or damage the performance of the mixer array. To protect mixer arrays, a frequency selective surface (FSS) structure is the suitable choice as a notch filter to reject the spurious heating power. The FSS notch filter should be located between the lenses of the ECEI system. This paper presents a 170 GHz FSS notch filter for the KSTAR ECEI sensor application. The design of such an FSS notch filter is based on the single-sided square loop geometry, because that makes it relatively insensitive to the incident angle of incoming wave. The FSS notch filter exhibits high notch rejection with low pass-band insertion loss over a wide range of incident angles. This paper also reviews the simulated and measured results. The proposed FSS notch filter might be implemented in other millimeter-wave plasma devices.

We have experimentally demonstrated a Direct Optical Switching (DOS) CDMA for future wide-band mobile communication systems at the 40 ㎓ band by using orthogonal (crosscorrelation $\leq$2) unipolar type codes with code length of 16 and chip rate of 2.5 Gcps for radio-over-fiber (RoF) systems. Pulse-amplitude-equalized 40 ㎓ laser pulses were provided by rational-harmonically mode-locking a 10 ㎓ fiber ring laser.

We describe a common optical system that merges a LADAR system, which generates a point cloud, and a more traditional imaging system operating in the LWIR, which generates image data. The optimum diameter of the entrance pupil was determined by analysis of detection ranges of the LADAR sensor, and the result was applied to design a common optical system using LADAR sensors and LWIR sensors; the performance of these sensors was then evaluated. The minimum detectable signal of the $128{\times}128-pixel$ LADAR detector was calculated as 20.5 nW. The detection range of the LADAR optical system was calculated to be 1,000 m, and according to the results, the optimum diameter of the entrance pupil was determined to be 15.7 cm. The modulation transfer function (MTF) in relation to the diffraction limit of the designed common optical system was analyzed and, according to the results, the MTF of the LADAR optical system was 98.8% at the spatial frequency of 5 cycles per millimeter, while that of the LWIR optical system was 92.4% at the spatial frequency of 29 cycles per millimeter. The detection, recognition, and identification distances of the LWIR optical system were determined to be 5.12, 2.82, and 1.96 km, respectively.
