This paper proposes a novel quadrature VCO(QVCO) based on direct back-gate second harmonic coupling. The QVCO directly couples the current sources of the conventional LC VCOs through the back-gate instead of front-gate to generate quadrature signals. By the second harmonic injection locking, the two LC VCOs can generate quadrature signals without using on-chip transformer, or stability problem that is inherent in the direct front-gate second harmonic coupling. The proposed QVCO is implemented in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology operating at 2 GHz with 5.0 mA core current consumption from 1.8 V power supply. The measured phase noise of the proposed QVCO is - 63 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset, -95 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset, and -116 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from the 2 GHz output frequency, respectively. The calculated figure of merit(FOM) is about -174 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset. The measured image band rejection is 46 dB which corresponds to the phase error of $0.6^{\circ}$.

The requirements of a successful design for single phase induction motors with a high efficiency have, in recent years, led to the use of non-quadrature stator windings motors in which a high starting torque is a prime requisite. The capacitor motor is one of above machines in which various possible forms of asymmetry can be occur. These forms of asymmetry in the stator phase windings, encountered in machine designs, are 1) an asymmetrical disposition in space of their magnetic axes, 2) a difference in their effective number of turns, 3) a difference in the distribution of their coil groups per pole and 4) amounts of capacitance of an auxiary winding. In order to apply the effective performance prediction of these form to motors, mading of lower quality-domestic magnetic materials, the analysis and the experimental investigations of its sample motors are described in this paper. The utility of such a motor is demonstrated and it is shown that the effects- a good efficiency, good power factor and high starting torque-of the motor mechanism with non-quadrature stator phase windings can development disadvantages by using the lower quality-domestis magnetic materials.

A harmonic quadrature demodulation method to extract the second harmonic component from focused ultrasound signals after a single transmit-receive event is proposed. In the proposed method, the focused ultrasound signal is converted into baseband inphase and quadrature components by multiplying with sine and cosine signals both having twice the center frequency of the transmitted signal and filtering the two modulated signals. The quadrature component is then passed through a Hilbert filter to be added to the inphase component, which leaves only the envelope of the second harmonic component. A novel phase estimation technique is employed in the proposed method to avoid the phase mismatch between the focused signal and the two modulating signals. The proposed method is verified through both theoretical analysis and computer simulations. It is shown that compared to the pulse inversion scheme the proposed method provides almost the same results for stationary targets and significantly improved harmonic to fundamental ratio for moving targets.

The error rate performance of circularly distributed antenna system is studied over Nakagami-m fading channels, where a dual-channel receiver is employed for the quadrature phase shift keying signals detection. To mitigate the Co-Channel Interference (CCI) caused by the adjacent cells and to save the transmit power, this work presents remote antenna unit selection transmission based on the best channel quality and the maximized path-loss, respectively. The commonly used Gaussian and Q-function approximation method in which the CCI and the noise are assumed to be Gaussian distributed fails to depict the precise system performance according to the central limit theory. To this end, this work treats the CCI as a random variable with random variance. Since the in-phase and the quadrature components of the CCI are correlated over Nakagami-m fading channels, the dependency between the in-phase and the quadrature components is also considered for the error rate analysis. For the special case of Rayleigh fading in which the dependency between the in-phase and the quadrature components can be ignored, the closed-form error rate expressions are derived. Numerical results validate the accuracy of the theoretical analysis, and a comparison among different transmission schemes is also performed.

In an optical interferometer that uses sinusoidal modulation and quadrature detection, the amplitude and offset of the interference signal vary with time, even without considering system noise. As a result, the circular Lissajous figure becomes elliptical, with wide lines. We propose and experimentally demonstrate a method for compensating quadrature detection error, based on digital signal processing to deal with scaling and fitting. In scaling, fluctuations in the amplitudes of in-phase and quadrature signals are compensated, and the scaled signals are fitted to a Lissajous unit circle. To do so, we scale the average fluctuation, remove the offset, and fit the ellipse to a unit circle. Our measurements of a target moving with uniform velocity show that we reduce quadrature detection error from 5 to 2 nanometers.

본 논문에서는 직교 위상 수신기에서 발생하는 동상 성분 채널과 직교 성분 채널간의 이득과 위상 불평형의 추정문제를 다룬다. 즉, 자동 보정 기능을 가지는 직교 위상 수신기에서의 백색 Gaussian 잡음을 고려한 통계적인 특성 분석을 통하여 제안된 알고리즘에 의한 추정값이 점근적으로 비편향 최소 분산 추정(asymptotically minimum-variance unbiased estimate) 특성을 가짐을 보여준다. 이를 위하여 먼저 자동 보정 알고리즘에서 사용하는 샘플링 값들에 대한 통계적인 특성을 구하고, 이 샘플 값들의 함수의 형태로 구해지는 이득과 위상 불평형 추정값들의 통계적인 특성을 분석하기 위해 추정값들의 확률분포함수를 구한다. 이를 기반으로 평균 함수 및 분산 함수를 계산하여 추정값들이 비편향 최소 분산 추정 특성을 나타냄을 확인한다.

이 논문의 목적은 척추 영상을 위한 One-channel phased-array quadrature RF 코일을 개발하는 것이다. 두 개의 수직방향 RF 코일을 조합하여 만든 Quadrature RF코일은 한 개의 코일을 쓰는 것에 비해 배의 signal-to-noise ratio(SNB) 향상을 얻울 수 있다. Phased-array quadrature RF 코일에서는 코일 element의 크기를 줄임으로써 SNR을 더욱 향상시킬 수 있다. 이에 따라 줄어드는 코일의 Coverage를 유지하기 위해 phased-array 코일에서는 여러 set의 작은 코일을 사용한다. 다음과 같은 두가지 방법으로 Phased-array의 각 코일간의 간섭 현상을 제거했으며 SNR을 개선하였다. (1)인접한 코일을 적당한 간격으로 겹쳐지게 함으로써 상호 인덕턴스를 영으로 만든다. (2)Pro-amp를 코일에 바로 붙임으로써 커플링 회로에서의 SNR loss를 방지하고 그 다음 단에서 코일 사이의 phase차를 보정한다. 이 논문에서는 Receive-only mode의 Phased-array quadrature RF 코일을 개발하여 팬텀과 인체 척추의 영상촬영을 통하여 그 성능을 입증하였다.

디지탈 quadrature 복조기는 디지탈 통신 시스템에서 변조된 신호의 정확한 위상 복조를 위해 꼭 필요하다. 기존의 방법들은 주로 DDFS(Direct Digital Frequency Synthsizer)를 이용하여 캐리어를 발생시킨 후에 승산기를 이용하여 복조를 수행하였다. 그리고, DDFS에는 주로 ROM(Read Only Memory)을 사용하였는데, 높은 속도와 정확도를 요구하는 경우 ROM의 속도와 크기가 제한이 될 수있다. 이러한 점을 극복하기 위하여 CORDIC(COordinate Rotation Digital Computer) 알고리듬을 사용하여 주파수 합성은 물론 캐리어 복조까지 수행하는 방식을 제안하였다. 최적의 하드웨어 구현을 위해 제한된 단어길이에 의한 영향을 분석하였으며, 하드웨어 비용면에서 ROM을 사용하는 방법과 비교한 결과 약 1/3 정도로 면적이 줄었다. 제안된 구조를 이요한 전주문형 VLSI 구현 결과를 보인다.

When quadrature error exists, the shape of the M-ary phase shift keying (MPSK) signal constellation becomes skewed-elliptic. Each MPSK symbol takes on a different symbol error probability (SEP) value. The analytical results presented thus far have been derived from studies which examined the SEP problem assuming that the SEP of each MPSK symbol is equally likely; therefore, those results should not be treated as offering a complete solution. In this letter, we present a new and more complete solution to the SEP problem of MPSK by relaxing the above assumption and finding the expressions for the average as well as individual SEP in the presence of quadrature error.
