It is shown that even if the modulating frequency of the light is too high for direct detection the signal can be extracted by frequency conversion at the same time as the detection by means of the nonlinearity of the APD. When this frequency conversion detection is applied to an optical receiver, the detection bandwidth can be increased while the configuration of the optical detection circuit and the signal processing in the subsequent stages are simplified. A fundamental analysis is carried out with an APD which is confirmed experimentally.

Equivalent-time sampling can improve measurement or sensing systems because it enables a broader frequency band and higher delay resolution for periodic signals with lower sampling rates than a Nyquist receiver. Meanwhile, a digital down-conversion (DDC) technique can be implemented using a straightforward radio frequency (RF) circuit. It avoids timing skew and in-phase/quadrature gain imbalance instead of requiring a high-speed analog-to-digital converter to sample an intermediate frequency (IF) signal. Therefore, when equivalent-time sampling and DDC techniques are combined, a significant synergy can be achieved. This study provides a parameter design methodology for optimal equivalent-time sampling using DDC.

Even though the modulating signal frequency of the light is too high to detect directly, the signal can be extracted by frequency conversion at the same time as the detection by means of the non-linearity of the APD. An analysis is presented for super-high-speed optical demodulation by an APD with electronic mixing. A normalized gain is defined to evaluate the performance of the frequency conversion demodulation. The nonlinear effect of the internal capacitance was included in the small signal circuit analysis. We showed theoretically and experimentally that the normalized gain is dependent on the down converted difference frequency component. In the experiment, the down converted different frequency outputs became larger than the directly detected original signal for the applied local signal of 20㏈m.

In a wireless channel above microwave frequency, rain attenuation is very important. In order to predict rain attenuation, 1-min. rain rate distribution is required. This paper discusses appropriate conversion methods to estimate 1-minute rain rate from that of other integration time. Based on the measurement data filed in ITU-R WP3J including ETRI data for 6 consecutive years, distributions of rain rate with 1-, 5-, 10-, 20-, 30-minute integration time were analyzed, both on the global and regional basis, and the parametric relationship between the statistical characteristics of 1-minute and other measurement data were investigated to deduce the conversion methods. It is shown that the global model works good with good accuracy for 5-, 10-, 20-min integration time, and the global model is also applicable globally with good accuracy for 5-, 10-, 20-min integration time. The global conversion model was adopted last year as an ITU-R document for new recommendation. The regional conversion model would also be very useful for locations of similar climatic zone.

1.5 ${\mu}m$ 통신파장 대역 단일광자의 효율적인 측정을 위해서 PPLN WG(periodically poled $LiNbO_3$ waveguide)에서 준위상정합을 이용한 합주파수 생성에 의한 주파수 상향변환 검출기를 구성하고 검출 효율, 잡음 계수 및 타이밍 지터를 측정하였다. 974 nm에서 발진하는 펌프광의 세기가 300 mW일 때 최대 검출효율이 약 7%, 잡음 계수율은 약 480 kHz로 측정되었다. 피코초펄스 레이저를 이용한 자발적 매개하향변환에서 발생한 펄스형 단일광자 신호를 이용하여 측정된 주파수 상향변환 검출기의 최소 타이밍 지터는 약 39.1 ps였다. 또한 아주 좁은 동시계수 시간 폭으로 펄스형의 주파수 상향변환된 단일광자를 측정하면 잡음의 효과를 최소화할 수 있고, 신호대 잡음비의 특성을 최대로 높일 수 있다.

We present a multi-tap microwave photonic filter with high selectivity through applying time-to-frequency mapping and optical frequency comb shaping techniques. When arranged in the time-to-frequency mapping stage, by a Fourier transform, the deviation of the optical taps to the target profile is significantly reduced while maintaining the apodization profile, resulting in high sidelobe suppression in the filters. By applying a simple time-to-frequency mapping stage to the conventional optical frequency combs, we demonstrate a substantially enhanced (>10dB) sidelobe suppression, resulting in filter lineshapes exhibiting a significantly high (>40dB) main lobe to sidelobe suppression ratio. These results highlight the potential of the technique for implementation in various passband filters with high sidelobe suppression.

A CMOS Gm-C filter with variable cutoff frequency applicable for using in the direct conversion receiver is designed. The designed filter comprises the CMOS differential transconductors, and the gm of the transconductor is controlled by the bias voltage. This configuration can compensate variant of the cutoff frequency which could be generated by external noises, and also be used in multiband receiver. As a results of HSPICE simulation, the control range of the cutoff frequency is $1.5MHz{\sim}3.5MHz$ and the gain control range is $-2.8dB{\sim}2.6dB$. The layout of the designed 5th-order Elliptic low-pass filter is performed to fabricate a chip using $2.5V-0.25{\mu}m$ CMOS processing parameter.

음성변환을 위한 피치변경법은 시간영역법과 주파수영역법, 혼성영역법이 많이 사용되고 있으며 시간-주파수 혼성영역법은 스펙트럼 왜곡이 적고 명료성과 자연성이 우수하다는 장점이 있는 반면 영역변환을 위한 처리시간이 매우 길다는 단점을 가지고 있었다. 본 논문에서는 시간-주파수 혼성 영역 피치변경법의 처리시간을 단축하는 방법을 제안하였다. 음성신호를 켑스트럼으로 변경하는 과정에서 사용되는 FFT와 IFFT의 비트-재정렬 과정을 생략함으로써 처리시간을 단축하는 방법이다. 이를 적용함으로써 기존의 켑스트럼 피치변경법과 같은 음성품질을 유지하면서도 처리시간은 86.26%로 단축할 수 있었다.

In the case of speech synthesis, the waveform coding method with high quality is mainly used to the synthesis by analysis. Because the parameters of this coding method are not classified as both excitation and vocal tract parameters, it is difficult to apply the waveform coding method to the synthesis by rule. Thus, in order to apply the waveform coding method to the synthesis by rule, a pitch alteration is required for the prosody control. In the speech synthesis method by the conventional PSOLA technique, applying symmetric window function to asymmetric speech waveform, it occurs the unbalance phenomenon of energy according to the overlapped degree of pitch interval adjustment. In this paper to overcome the unbalance phenomenon of energy, we proposed a new method that can convert asymmetric waveform to symmetric one by time-frequency conversion. As a result, we can obtain an average spectrum distortion ratio with 6.38% according to the pitch alteration ratio.

Photophysics of 10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinoline (HBQ) has been in controversy, in particular, on the nature of the electronic states before and after the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT), even though the dynamics and mechanism of the ESIPT have been well established. We report highly time resolved fluorescence spectra over the full emission frequency regions of the enol and keto isomers and the anisotropy in time domain to determine the accurate rates of the population decay, spectral relaxation and anisotropy decay of the keto isomer. We have shown that the ~300 fs component observed frequently in ESIPT dynamics arises from the $S_2{\rightarrow}S_1$ internal conversion in the reaction product keto isomer and that the ESIPT occurs from the enol isomer in $S_1$ state to the keto isomer in $S_2$ state.
