Water gas shift reactor in fuel processing is an important part that converts carbon monoxide into hydrogen. Fuel processing system for PEMFC usually has two stages of WGS reactors, which are high temperature and low temperature shifter. In this study we prepared noble metal catalysts and compared their performances with that of a commercial iron chromium oxide catalyst. Noble metal catalysts and the commercial catalyst showed quite different temperature dependence of carbon monoxide conversion. The conversion of carbon monoxide at the commercial catalyst was very low at medium temperature(${\sim}300^{\circ}C$) and increased rapidly as temperature increased while the conversion at noble metal catalysts was high in the medium temperature range and decreased as temperature increased, which is thermodynamically expected. Their characteristics agreed well with the literature published, and we are accomplishing further study for improvement of the noble metal catalysts.

A clock and data recovery circuit with a phase-locked loop for 10 Gb/s optical transmission system was realized in a hybrid IC form. The quadri-correlation architecture is used for frequency-and phase-locked loop. A NRZ-to-PRZ converter and a 360 degree analogue phase shifter are included in the circuit. The jitter characteristics satisfy the recommendations of ITU-T. The capture range of 150 MHz and input voltage sensitivity of 100 mVp-p were showed. The temperature compensation characteristics were tested for the operating temperature from -10 to $60^{\circ}C$ and showed no increase of error. This circuit was adopted for the 10 Gb/s transmission system through a normal single-mode fiber with the length of 400 km and operated successfully.

This paper presents the design and implementation of Q-band MMIC phase shifters using InGaAs PIN diodes. The topology using a thin-film microstrip line(TFMS) has been proposed to achieve the desired phase-shift as well as good loss characteristics. Five single-bit MMIC phase shifters have been implemented by using a developed BCB(benzocyclobutene)-based multi-layer fabrication technology. The developed phase shifters have less than 3.4 dB of insertion loss and better than 11 dB of input and output return loss in the frequency range of 43 to 47 GHz. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first demonstration of high-performance InGaAs PIN diode-based MMIC phase shifters operating at Q-band frequencies.

We have proposed a broadband analog feedforward optical transmitter using a wideband $180^{\circ}$ hybrid coupler instead of conventional frequency-sensitive phase shifter with the narrow bandwidth property using a wideband $180^{\circ}$ hybrid coupler, the wide-band linearization technique enhances the linearity of the feedforward optical transmitter. In two-tone cases, the $3^{rd}-IMD$ products was enhanced more than 10 dB in 385 MHz range(1.375$\sim$l.76 GHz).

A monolithic 5 GHz image reject mixer using a 0.5-m GaAs MESFET technology is designed and simulated. The Mixer exhibits a 13.56 dB down-conversion gain, a SSB (Single SideBand) noise figure of 11.91 dB, an input IP3 (third order intercept point) of -3.73 dBm and a PldB (1-dB compression point) of -11.0 dBm. The critical issue in the image reject mixer is the phase accuracy and magnitude balance of the 90 phase shifting network. The proposed image reject mixer realizes a 90 phase shifter on chip. This phase shifting network does not need any phase adjusting to achieve the phase error specification of 3 over a frequency range from 800 MHz to 1GHz. The simulated overall image rejection ratio is better than 50 dB.

This letter proposes a novel calibration method for a multiport amplifier (MPA) to achieve optimum port-to-port isolation by correcting both the amplitude and phase of the calibration signals. The proposed architecture allows for the detection of the phase error and amplitude error in each RF signal path simultaneously and can enhance the calibrated resolution by controlling the analog phase shifters and attenuators. The designed $2{\times}2$ and $4{\times}4$ MPAs show isolation characteristics of 30 dB and 27 dB over a frequency range of 19.5 GHz to 22.5 GHz, respectively.

For multi-carrier communication system, power amplifier generate intermodulation products caused by their nonlinear characteristics. Intermodulation products arised around the carrier frequency cannot be filtered out, operate as noise source for tile adjacent channel and thus degrades the quality of communication. In this paper, the 1850MHz-band RF linear power amplifier has been designed and fabricated with feedforward loop. The error signal loop consists of several key components such as phase shifter and attenuator, subtracter. The proposed Linearizer was tested with two-tone signals separated 10MHz apart at the center frequency of 1850MHz. The experimental results show C/I improvement by 14.5${\~}$20dB over 15dB dynamic range(33${\~}$47.8dBm) which gave IMD of 53.25${\~}$59dBc for the designed LPA.

레이다 기술의 국산화가 이슈가 되고 연구 개발에 박차를 가하고 있는 가운데 본 논문의 Dual-band 모노 펄스 수신기는 추적 레이다를 기반으로 한 실험적 수행 결과를 바탕으로 하고 있다. Dual-band 레이다를 Single-band 레이다와 비교해 보면 높은 비용과 소비 전력 등의 단점을 갖고 있지만 재밍이나 검파 거리, 이미지 신호 제거, 강우 감쇄 특성 면에서 이점을 가질 수 있다. 수신기는 X-band RF head 모듈, Ka-band RF head 모듈, 그리고 공통 IF모듈로 구성되며 X-band와 Ka-band의 각 신호는 IF 모듈의 스위칭에 의해 선택되어진다. 또한 IF모듈의 국부 신호단에서는 위상 제어기가 장착되어 합 채널을 기준으로 고각과 방위각 채널의 위상을 제어할 수 있도록 하였다. 측정 결과 전체 이득은 $40{\pm}3 dB$였으며, 송신/수신간 격리도는 39 dBc, 동적 영역 110 dB, 그리고 잡음지수는 X/Ka-band 각각 4.5dB/6.9dB로 나타났다.

An integrated-optical biochemical sensor structure that can perform homogeneous and surface sensing using a 2×2 balanced-bridge Mach-Zehnder interference structure based on the optimized SOI slot optical waveguide was described, and its performance and characteristics were evaluated. Equations for the two output optical powers were derived and examined using the transfer matrices of a 3-dB coupler and phase shifter (channel waveguide). The length of the 3-dB coupler was determined such that the two output optical powers were same using these formulas. In homogeneous sensing, the effect of the refractive index of an analyte in the range of 1.33-1.36 on the two output optical power distributions was numerically derived, and the sensitivity was calculated based on each output and the difference between the two outputs, the former and the latter being 7.5796-19.0305 [au/RIU] and 15.2601-38.1351 [au/RIU], respectively. In the case of surface sensing, the sensitivity range of the refractive index of 1.337 based on each of the two outputs was calculated as -2.2490--3.5854 [au/RIU] and 1.2194-3.8012 [au/RIU], and the sensitivity range of 4.8048-7.0694 [au/RIU] was confirmed based on the difference between the two outputs.

An S-band multifunction chip with a simple interface for an active phased array base station antenna for next-generation mobile communications is designed and fabricated using commercial 0.5-${\mu}m$ GaAs pHEMT technology. To reduce the cost of the module assembly and to reduce the number of chip interfaces for a compact transmit/receive module, a digital serial-to-parallel converter and an active bias circuit are integrated into the designed chip. The chip can be controlled and driven using only five interfaces. With 6-bit phase shifting and 6-bit attenuation, it provides a wideband performance employing a shunt-feedback technique for amplifiers. With a compact size of 16 $mm^2$ ($4mm{\times}4mm$), the proposed chip exhibits a gain of 26 dB, a P1dB of 12 dBm, and a noise figure of 3.5 dB over a wide frequency range of 1.8 GHz to 3.2 GHz.
