A new method is proposed to generate a 32-tupling frequency millimeter wave (MMW) with eight Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZMs) connected in parallel. Theoretical analyses and simulation experiments are conducted. The optical sideband suppression ratio (OSSR) of the obtained ±16th order optical sidebands are 61.54 dB and 61.42 dB, and the radio frequency spurious suppression ratios (RFSSRs) of the generated 32-tupling frequency MMW are 55.52 dB and 55.27 dB based on the theoretical analysis and simulation experiments, respectively; these outcomes verified the feasibility of the new method. The main parameters used to affect the stability of the generated signal are the modulation index and extinction ratio of MZM. Their effects on the OSSR and RFSSR of the generated signals are investigated when they deviate from their designed values. Compared with the other proposed methods for the generation of 32-tupling frequency MMW by MZM, our method has the best spectral purity and stability, and it is expected to have important MMW over fiber applications.

RF(radio frequency) 시스템의 송신탄을 설계할 때 고려해야 할 중요한 요소 중의 하나인 EMI(Electro magnetic interference)의 규격시험에서 항상 문제시되는 것이 송신기의 출력 스펙트럼에서 나타나는 불요 신호(Spurious interference) 이다. 이 불요 성분들 중 특히 문제가 되고 있는 것이 국부발진기(LO; Local oscillator)로부터 누설되는 LOL(Local oscillator leakage) 성분이다. 이 LOL성분은 국부발진기에서 누설(leakage)되어 RF단의 증폭기를 통하여 증폭되어 최종 출력에서 매우 높은 선호의 크기로 나타난다. 일반적으로 LOL을 제거하기 위해 서 너치필터(Notch filter) 또는 대역통과필터 (Band pass filter)를 사용해왔다. 본 논문에서는 국부발진기로부터 누설되는 불요 성분, 즉 LOL성분을 제거하는 방법으로 LOL과 동일한 크기를 가지고 위상 차이가 $180^{\circ}$인 신호를 국부발전기의 출력에서 만들어 믹서( Mixer)의 출력단에 더함으로써 LOL성분을 효과적으로 제거한다. 본 방 식을 무선랜(WLAN; Wireless 1$\infty$al area network) 시스템에 적용한 결과. 기존의 방식보다 30 dB 이상 LO 누설선호플 감쇄시킬 수 있었다 또한 본 방식은 RF 시스댐을 소형화 및 MMIC(Monolithic microwave integrated C circuit)화 할 경우 종전의 방법보다 효과적일 것으로 기대된다.

NAVTEX system is an international automated direct-printing service, broadcast on 5181kHz and 490kHz, for the promulgation of navigational and meteorological warnings and urgent information to ships. With our government's adoption of the international convention for SAR(Search and Rescue) in 1993, various trials for the installation of NAVTEX system have been executed by the government committee, relating laboratory and experts. An important consideration of the installation for NAVTEX system is the availability that could broadcast messages written in korean letter. Also, the receiver which can process the signal demodulated from the two frequencies, 518kHz and 490kHz, should be developed and supplied in domestic. In this paper, the code table and algorithm for conversions between NAVTEX characters and Korean Letters are studied, and signal processing techniques of code conversion are developed. Circuit design and implementation of the NAVTEX simulator using the Direct Digital Synthesizer are discussed, code conversion algorithm and signal processing technique of the NAVTEX transmission are programmed in its circuits. For evaluating the its functional characteristics, receiving module which has I-Q channel structure is designed. From the measurements of simulator, the characteristics show the frequency stability of the $(\pm)2Hz$ and Spurious free dynamic range is -63dBc. And the simulator can generate simultaneously wanted signal and several interfere signals. So, its capability is valuable for designers of the transmitting system and NAVTEX receiver, for provider as testing facilities of the type approval.

In this paper, we designed self-frequency synchronizing circuit using image rejection mixer(IRM) and single-sideband(SSB) up-converter which can effectively eliminate the image frequencies occurred in multi-channel super-heterodyne receivers and help us to match inter-channel phase. Also the self-frequency synchronizing circuit simplifies system because there need no extra devices for making intermediate frequency(IF) by creating the local signal within several nanoseconds by means of generating the same frequency of IF signal and modulating radio frequency(RF) signal. We adopt the limiting amplifier for the purpose of protecting the circuit from spurious signals which come from the front end side having wide instantaneous bandwidth characteristics and constantly injecting same level into the input local signal of IRM. The IRM we fabricated has image rejection ratio of 27dB, which is good over 7dB for foreign company's. Also, the SSB up-converter we fabricated has 1dB compression point of 18dBm, which is good over 16dB for foreign company's. And the size is compact about one-forth.

In this paper we proposed the algorithm for the implementation of network interface unit transmitter and analyzed its performance in broadband wireless local loop. The symbol rate of upstream transmitter is variable since the channel bandwidth of upstream can vary. Assuming that master clock ( $f_{DAC}$) is fixed, the cubic interpolator of Farrow structure is used to increase the sample rate to master clock rate. Simulation shows that the signal to noise ratio is about 54~55 dB and spurious signal power of upstream transmitter is less than 45 dB.B.

MIL-STD-461E, EMI military standard for the equipment and subsystems, requires reception characteristic tests to verify the susceptibility of a receiver against the jntermodulation and spurious signals. Because the CS103 and CS104 of MIL-STD-461E show the test configuration of the equipment unit like a traditional receiver, it is possible to verify the susceptibility only for the reception signal through analog filters. However, at present when software programming techniques make a progress, the CS103 and CS104 tests need to evaluate the reception signal of the subsystem which includes both the digital filtering effects and analog filter characteristics. These test and evaluation techniques applied to a surveillance radar subsystem. This paper researched the EMI test methods in order to confirm feasibility of these test and evaluation techniques. Also the test results are compared and analyzed.

This paper presents a new power plane design method incorporating a single geometry derived from a unit cell of photonic bandgap(PBG) structure. This method yields constantly wide suppression of parallel plate resonances from 0.9 GHz to 4.2 GHz and is very efficient to eliminate PCB resonances in a specified frequency region to provide effective suppression of simultaneous switching noise(SSN). It is shown that with only two cells the propagation of unwanted high frequency signals is effectively suppressed, while it could provide continuous return signal path. The measured results agree very well with theoretically predicted ones, and confirm that proposed method is effective for reducing EMI, with measured near-field distribution. The proposed topology is suitable for design of high speed digital system.
