In this paper, the triple-band planar monopole antennas are designed for cellular communication, WiBro and WLAN(IEEE802.llb/g) communication and WLAN(IEEE802.lla) communication of 5GHz band. Various types of antennas are designed and examined experimentally as bended in the low and middle band radiation elements to decrease antennas size and increased radiation elements width to improve bandwidth. The proposed antennas are improved by 11% in antenna size with bended low-band radiation elements down and are extended by 30%$\sim$40% in bandwidth by increasing the width of the radiation element at 800MHz band.

A new digital pre-distortion technique to linearize power amplifier (PA) is proposed for concurrent dual-band transmitters. In the conventional dual-band DPD techniques, two independent dual-feedback paths are required to compensate nonlinear cross-products between different bands as well as the nonlinear self-products of each band's own signal. However, it increases hardware complexity and expense. In this paper, we propose a new DPD method requiring only a single feedback path. In this new structure, the proposed technique first estimates the dual-band PA characteristics using the single feedback path. The DPD parameters are then extracted from the estimated PA characteristics. The DPD performance of the proposed method is validated through computer simulation. According to the results, the proposed technique can achieve comparable performance to the conventional two feedback DPD with significantly reduced hardware complexity.

In this paper, we study the application of DSSS(Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) in underwater acoustic communication for robust the ISI(Inter-Symbol Interference. We confirm the application of DSSS in underwater acoustic communication in underwater by the simulation with underwater channel impulse response and experiment. As a simulation result, the BER of QPSK technique is $1.14{\times}10^{-1}$ and the BER of DSSS technique is $6.73{\times}10^{-3}$. And we performed the experiment of DSSS technique in underwater. As a experiment result, the BER of QPSK technique is $3.19{\times}10^{-1}$ and the BER of DSSS technique is $5.17{\times}10^{-4}$.

In this paper, a channel combiner is designed to combine two adjacent digital TV channels without interference to transmit these channels with one broadband antenna. A constant impedance type combiner, consisting of two identical bandpass filters and two identical 3 dB power combiners, is chosen as a channel combiner. The bandpass filter used in the channel combiner also suppresses out-of-band signal caused by digital transmitter's non-linearity. H-plane type bandpass filters and branch-line fewer combiners are adopted in the design. The simulated results of the designed bandpass filter and power combiner show excellent agreement with the theoretical results. Finally, a channel combiner is designed by combining filters with rover combiners and the characteristics are simulated. It is shown that the designed channel combiner shows excellent performance.

In this paper, we propose a wideband band-stop filter (BSF) in order to extend the stopband of the band-stop filter using a symmetric dual spurline and the coupled open stub. First, we know that the symmetric dual spurline structure is advantageous in widening the stopband, as compared to the asymmetric dual spurline structure. So we designed a band-stop filter that combines the electrically coupled open stub (ECOS) band-stop filter with a symmetric dual spurline. We can greatly extend the stopband, when it is combined with the dual spurline and electrically coupled open stub on a microstrip transmission line, without any size increment. The stopband of the proposed band-stop filter is extended by approximately 244% (rejection depth: -20 dB) compared with a band-stop filter without a dual spurline.

This paper presents a compact, low insertion loss, sharp rejection and wide band microstrip band pass filter that is composed rectangular loop resonator and Step-Impedance-Open-Stub(SIOS). The SIOS can be reduce length about 30 % more than general 0.25 $\lambda$ open stub. And the stub can the advantage of tuning impedance magnitude. In order to demonstrate agrement of this paper prove, the optimized wide band pass filters are realized and experimented. A transmission line model used to calculate the frequency response of the new filters shows good agreement with measurements. The filter has 3 dB fractional bandwidth of 51.75 %(3.206 GHz), an insertion loss of better than 0.44 dB from 4.587 GHz to 7.793 GHz, and two rejection of greater than 30 dB within 221 MHz($4.326{\sim}4.587\;GHz$) at low frequency band, 181 MHz($7.739{\sim}7.954\;GHz$) at high frequency band. Maximum rejection characteristics of the filter are -61.8 dB at low frequency and -76.3 dB at high frequency.

In this paper, we designed and implemented an ultra wideband(UWB) antenna with band rejection characteristics. The proposed antenna consists of a planar radiation patch with slots and ground planes on both sides. Due to the slots in the radiation patch, the antenna shows band rejection characteristics. U-type slot contributes for wireless local area network(WLAN, 5.15~5.825 GHz) band rejection and n-type slot contributes for X-Band(7.25~8.395 GHz) band rejection. To make voltage standing wave ratio(VSWR) less than 2.0 for UWB frequency band except rejection bands, the shapes of planar radiation patch and ground plane was modified. The Ansoft 's high frequency structure simulator(HFSS) was used for the design process and simulations of the proposed antenna. The simulated antenna showed VSWR less than 2.0 for all UWB band excepts for dual rejection bands of 5.15 ~ 5.94 GHz and 7.02 ~ 8.45 GHz. And measured VSWR for the implemented antenna is less than 2.0 for all UWB band of 3.10~10.60 GHz excluding dual rejection bands of 5.12~5.95 GHz and 7.20~8.58 GHz.

For the 4th generation mobile communication, LTE-advanced system needs the broad frequency band up to 100MHz for providing the data rate of maximum 1Gpbs. However, it is very difficult to secure the broad frequency band in the current frequency allocation situation. So, carrier aggregation was proposed as the solution, in which several fragmented frequency bands are used at the same time. Basically, multiple parallel receivers are required to get the information data from the different frequency bands but this conventional multi-chain receiver system is very inefficient. Therefore, in this paper, we like to study the single chain system that is able to receive the multi-band signals in a single receiver based on the time division multiplexing (TDM) reception method. This proposed TDM receiver efficiently manage to receive the multi-band signals in time domain and handle the baseband signals with one DSP board. However, the serious distortion could be generated by the sampling timing offset (STO) in the TDM-based system. Therefore, we like to analyze STO effects in the TDM-based system and propose a compensation method using estimated STO. Finally, it is shown by simulation that the proposed method is appropriate for the single chain receiver and show good compensation performance.

A demand for spectrum resources, especially in the low frequency bands, is ever increasing with the development of mobile telecommunications and so is their economic value as other national resources. Also, development in mobile broadband require more bandwidth with excellent propagation characteristics, such as those frequencies in the 700/800/900 MHz bands. As a way to enhance the economic efficiency of using spectrum resources, many countries including the U.S., the U.K. and Japan, have recently focused on the refarming plan of the low frequency bands according to the transition from analogue to digital TV. By the way, as a result of WRC-07, those parts of the band $698{\sim}960\;MHz$ in Region 2 and the band $790{\sim}960\;MHz$ in Regions 1 and 3 which are allocated to the mobile service on a primary basis are identified for use by administrations wishing to implement International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT). Therefore, after analogue to digital television switchover, some administrations may decide to use all or parts of the band $698{\sim}806/862\;MHz$ for other services to which the band is allocated on a primary basis, in particular the mobile service for the implementation of IMT, while in other countries the broadcasting service will continue to operate in that band. And to conclude, bands already identified for IMT-2000 will also be able to be used for IMT. This work will help establish a policy direction for spectrum refarming in the low frequency bands in Korea(Rep. of).

이 논문에서는 MPEG-4 SVC 신호를 DVB-S2 전송시스템에 적용하여 Ka대역 위성방송서비스를 제공하는 전송방안에 대한 연구를 하였다. SVC신호는 계층 수를 2개로 제한하였으며, 이러한 다계층 신호를 DVB-S2 전송시스템에 적용하기 위하여, 성상도상에서 각 계층의 신호를 동기적으로 합치는 Hierarchical 변조방식과 각 계층의 전송스트림을 RF 주파수 상에서 비동기적으로 합치는 방식인 Layered 변조방식을 사용하였다. 각 전송방안에서 변조방식과 채널 부호율을 결합 소스/채널 부호화 방안에 따라 변화시켜 최적의 전송기법을 도출하였다.
