A three-stage low noise amplifier(LNA) for the Base-station of the IMT-2000 is designed and implemented. In the first stage, a GaAs HJt-FET which has good noise characteristics is made use of. Monolithic microwave integrated circuits(MMICS) are used in the second and the third stage to achieve both the high gain and high output power. Although the balanced amplifier is used to reduce the input VSWR, it is done only in the first stage because we have to minimize the noise figure attributed to the phase difference of the balanced amplifier. It is shown that the implemented LNA has the gai over 39.74dB, the gain flatness less than ±0.4dB, the noise figure below 0.97dB, input and output VSWRs less than 1.2, and OIP₃(output third order intercept point) of 38.17dBm in the operating frequency range.

In this paper, a low noise amplifier (LNA) in receiver of Low Noise Block Down Converter (LNB) for direct broadcasting service (DBS) is implemented by using GaAs HEMT. The LNA is designed for operation between 10.7GHz-12.7GHz. The LNA consists of input, output matching circuits, DC-blocks and RF-chokes. Simulation result of the LNA shows that a noise figure is less than 1.4dB and a gain is greater than 9.2dB in the bandwidth of 10.7 to 12.7GHz with good flatness of 0.1dB.

본 논문은 IMT-2000 대역에서 동작하는 피드포워드 증폭기의 선형성 개선을 위한 각 증폭기의 이득 평탄도의 영향에 관한 것이다. 피드포워드 증폭기의 동작 특성을 조사하기 위하여 WCDMA 신호를 인가하여 최종 출력 10W에서 성능을 측정하였다. 특히, 피드포워드 증폭기의 선형성 개선에 영향을 미치는 원인 중, 각 증폭기의 이득 평탄도의 변화에 따르는 선형성의 개선 양에 대하여 조사하였다. 전력 증폭기는 40MHz, 오차 증폭기는 40MHz와 80MHz의 대역에서 이득 평탄도를 변화시키면서 선형성의 개선 양을 조사하였으며, 오프셋 5MHz 지점에서 IMSR을 측정하였다. 측정 결과. 20dB 이상의 개선 효과를 나타내기 위해서는 전력 증폭기는 1.5dB 이내, 오차 증폭기는 0.5dB 이내의 이득 평탄도를 가져야 함을 확인하였으며, 오차 증폭기의 이득 평탄도가 선형성 개선에 더 큰 영향을 미침을 확인하였다.

In this letter, novel antennas with two spiral elements are presented for ultra-wideband application. The original antenna consists of a T-shaped microstrip feed line, two spiral radiating elements, and a ground plane with two circular slots. It measures 30 mm ${\times}$ 40 mm ${\times}$ 1.6 mm. Spiral elements are used to increase the lower bandwidth limit. To further reduce the size of the antenna, the original antenna is cut in half by using the symmetry of the surface current distributions. The proposed antennas feature omnidirectional radiation patterns and good gain flatness.

An 1-bit DPCM image coding method is presented. Our method is specially designed to reduce the slope overload which seems to be the major performance degradation factor in 1-bit DPCM. In the present algorithm, based on the classification of neighborhoods by its flatness, slope strength and direction, predictor and quantizer operate adaptively through switching action. Compared with some other methods by computer simulation, proposed method shows improved performance in image quality as well as in signal to noise ratio. This gain mainly comes from the reduced slope overload and seems large to compensate the increased complexity in prediction. As a post processing, Lee filter is used to reduce the granular noise subjectively annoying in flat region.
