We have designed and fabricated a low-cost, V-band CPW receiver chip set using GaAs PHEMT technology for the application of millimeter-wave wireless communication systems. Low noise amplifiers and down-converters were developed for this chip set. The fabricated low noise amplifier showed an S$\sub$21/ gain of 14.9 ㏈ at 60 ㎓ and a noise figure of 4.1 ㏈ at 52 ㎓. The down-converter exhibited a high conversion gain of 2 ㏈ at the low LO Power of 0 ㏈m. This work demonstrates that the GaAs PHEMT technology is a viable low-cost solution for V-band applications.

We report on a low-cost V-band wireless transceiver with no use of any local oscillator in the receiver block using a self-heterodyne architecture. V-band millimeter-wave monolithic IC (MMIC) modules were developed to demonstrate the wireless transceiver using coplanar waveguide (CPW) and GaAs PHEMT technologies. The MMIC modules such as the MMIC low noise amplifier (LNA), medium power amplifier (MPA) and the up/down-mixer were installed in the transceiver system. To interface the MMIC chips with the component modules for the transceiver system, CPW-to-waveguide fin-line transition modules of WR-15 type were designed and fabricated. The fabricated LNA modules showed a $S_{21}$ gain of 8.4 dB and a noise figure of 5.6 dB at 58 GHz. The MPA modules exhibited a gain of 6.9 dB and a $P_{1dB}$ of 5.4 dBm at 58 GHz. The conversion losses of the up-mixer and the down-mixer module were 14.3 dB at a LO power of 15 dBm, and 19.7 dB at a LO power of 0 dBm, respectively. From the measurement of V-band wireless transceiver, a conversion gain of 0.2 dB and a $P_{1dB}$ of 5.2 dBm were obtained in the transmitter block. The receiver block showed a conversion gain of 2.1 dB and a $P_{1dB}$ of -18.6 dBm. The wireless transceiver system demonstrated a successful data transfer within a distance of 5 meters.

최근 소형 레이더는 한번의 타격으로 표적의 시스템을 무능화시키기 위해 높은 거리해상도를 갖는 소형 밀리미터파 레이더 개발을 요구한다. 높은 거리해상도를 갖는 소형 밀리미터파 레이더가 표적을 획득하고, 추적하기 위해서는 대용량의 데이터를 실시간으로 처리해야한다. 본 논문에서는 소형 밀리미터파 레이더에서 요구하는 대용량의 데이터를 실시간으로 처리하기 위한 실시간 데이터 전처리 방법을 정리하였다. 또한 실시간 데이터 전처리 방법으로 제시한 디지털 IF(Intermediate Frequency) 수신기, Window처리, DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform)를 FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array)를 활용하여 구현하였다. 마지막으로 구현한 실시간 데이터 전처리 모듈은 소형 밀리미터파 레이더를 위한 신호처리기에 적용하여 실시간 데이터 전처리 기능과 관련된 성능시험으로 검증하였다.

In this paper, we developed a local oscillator (LO) system of millimeter wave band receiver for radio astronomy observation. We measured the phase and amplitude drift stability of this LO system. The voltage control oscillator (VCO) of this LO system use the 3 mm band Gunn oscillator. We developed the digital phase locked loop (DPLL) module for the LO PLL function that can be computer-controlled. To verify the performance, we measured the output frequency/power and the phase/amplitude drift stability of the developed module and the commercial PLL module, respectively. We show the good performance of the LO system based on the developed PLL module from the measured data analysis. The test results and discussion will be useful tutorial reference to design the LO system for very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) receiver and single dish radio astronomy receiver at the 3 mm frequency band.

The noise temperature of existing millimeter-wave receivers is already within two or three times quantum noise limit. One of practical ways to increase the observation speed of single dish radio telescope without longer integration time is use of multi-beam focal plane array receiver as demonstrated in several large single dish radio telescopes. In this context the TRAO (Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory), which operates a 143n Cassegrain radio telescope, is planning to develop a 4 x 4 beams focal plane array SIS receiver system for 86-115 GHz band. Even though millimeter-wave HEMT LNA-based receivers approach the noise temperature comparable to the SIS receiver at W-band, it is believed that the receiver based on SIS mixer seems to offer a bit more advantages. The critical part of the multi-beam array receiver will be sideband separating SIS mixers. Employing such a type of SIS mixer makes it possible to simplify the quasi-optics of receiver. Otherwise, an SSB filter should be used in front of the mixer or some sophisticated post-processing of observation data is needed. In this paper we will present a preliminary design concept and components needed for the development of a new 3 mm band multi-beam focal plane array receiver.

Over the past several years the millimeter wave VLBI(Veryl Long Baseline Interferometry) observations have been intensively carried out. However In millimeter and sub-millimeter waves observations for VLBI, it is crucial to calibrate correctly the phase variations of the electromagnetic waves propagation through the troposphere. To do this, KVN(Korean VLBI Network) has a unique multi-frequency bands receiver system which is able to perform the simultaneous observations in up to four bands such as 22, 43, 86, and 129GHz. The phase of a source at 22GHz can be used to calibrate the phase of the same source at higher frequency bands. The phase calibration using multi-frequency bands receiver system is possible because the phase fluctuations from a given amount of waver vapor increase linearly with frequency. That is to say that troposphere is non-dispersive property in terms of tropospheric delay fluctuations. In this talk, We present results of test observation for multi-frequency bands receiver system.

본 연구에서는 물체의 복사 에너지를 수신하여 영상화하는 밀리미터파 수동 이미징 시스템을 설계하였다. 수동 이미징 시스템은 수신하는 열 잡음 신호가 매우 미약하기 때문에 렌즈와 수신기 전단이 매우 중요하다. 수신된 신호를 집중시키기 위한 렌즈는 광학전달함수를 적용하여 설계하였다. 수동 이미징 시스템에서는 열 잡음을 고감도 및 광대역으로 수신할 필요가 있기에, 이미징에 필요한 증폭기의 목표성능을 최대이득40dB, 최대잡음지수 5dB로 하였으며, 대역폭을 10GHz로 하였다. 증폭된 밀리미터파를 직류 출력하는 검파회로 설계에는 SBD MSS-20 141B10D 다이오드를 사용했다.
