PHEMT's with three different doping structures, -SH(single-heterojunction), DH (double-heterojunction), and DC(doped-channel)-,were designed, fabricated and characterized to study the effect of doping layer structures on the performance of millimeter-wave PHEMT's. 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ DH-PHEMT with below-channel doping of 1$\times$10$^{12}$ c $m^{-2}$ was superior to SH-PHEMT by 40％ in $I_{dss}$, 20％ in f/sib T/ and showed broador gm- $I_{D}$ characteristics which is advantageous to power applications DH-PHEMT showed similar DC and small-signal performance compared with DC-PHEMT. Taking the much higher carrier mobility into considerations, DH-PHEMT is believed to be the best candidate for millimeter-wave, low-noise and/or power applications.s.s.

Passive millimeter wave (MMW) imaging penetrates clothing to detect concealed objects. The distances extraction to the concealed objects is critical for the security and defense. In this paper, we address a passive stereo 3 mm MMW imaging system to extract the longitudinal distance to the concealed object. The concealed object area is segmented and extracted by the k-means clustering algorithm with splitting initialization. The distance to the concealed object is estimated by the corresponding centers of the segmented objects. In the experimental two pairs (each pair for horizontal and vertical polarization) of stereo MMW images are obtained to estimate distances to concealed objects.

A small millimeter-wave tracking radar is a pulse-based radar that searches, detects, and tracks a target in real time through a TWS (Track While Scan) method for a traps target on the sea with a large RCS running at low speed. It is necessary to develop a board equipped with a high-speed CPU to acquire and track target information through LPRF, DBS, and HRR signal processing techniques for a trap target operating various kinds of dexterous objects such as chaff and decoy, We designed a signal processor structure including DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) module design that can perform real - time FFT operation using FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and verified the signal processor implemented through performance test.

In this paper, an uplink pilot signal structure is proposed for millimeter wave(mmWave)-based mobile wireless backhaul. For the transmit diversity of two antenna ports, uplink pilot signals generated from the Zadoff-Chu sequence can be mapped in an interleaved mode or continuous mode on the frequency axis, and channel estimation algorithms are different depending on the pilot signal mapping schemes. Through a simulation under Rayleigh fading channel assuming a subway scenario, the interleaved mapping scheme showed no performance degradation compared to the continuous mapping scheme and the implementation complexity of the uplink channel estimator was reduced due to the interleaved mapping scheme.

The millimeter wave band is in the extremely high frequency band whose frequency and wavelength are 30-300GHz and 10-1mm respectively. When the obstacles block the propagation path which is not Line-of-Sight (LoS), due to a high propagation loss, it is hard to receive a signal in the millimeter wave band. Therefore When the path loss is measured in the millimeter wave band, the signal which is not distinguished from the noise is observed. Consequently, the path loss data which is limited in certain value is observed in the high propagation loss environment. If the original least square is implemented without taking the limitation of certain value into account, the path loss exponent may be underestimated. In this paper, the performance of Tobit Maximum Likelihood Estimation, Heckman Two-stage Model and Truncation Regression Model which can estimate properly in the censoring or truncated environments are compared.

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.

In this paper, We designed a waveguide-type feed structure that converts millimeter wave dual-polarized signals into monopulse signals and presented a manufacturing method. At millimeter-wave such as the W band, the size of the waveguide is very small, making it very difficult to manufacture complex structures. Therefore, because manufacturability is important for the waveguide-type feed structure in the millimeter-wave, electro forming and diffusion bonding were proposed and verified in this study. The designed monopulse feed structure consists of eight 180° hybrids that combine 90° hybrids and self-compensating phase shifters, and four OMTs to separate dual polarization. The designed feed structure was designed to facilitate electro forming and diffusion bonding, and the manufactured feed structure was verified through a network analyzer. It was confirmed that the two proposed production methods produce a monopulse signal well through the measured magnitude and phase of the port.

The measurement of unique rainfall phenomenon and rain attenuation on 38 GHz terrestrial links at South Korea in 1998 is presented. It was one of the most severe rainfall years at the measured region due to increased EI Nino signal. The rainfall rate exceeded at $0.01\%$ was 97.4 mm/h during a worst month and annual rate was 63.5 mm/h. Experimentally measured results have been compared with some models and found that the rain attenuation by system level was underestimated by the existing prediction models. As it was measured only three months, further study and measurement of rainfall and rain attenuation in this region are needed for stable millimeter-wave system operation at all times.

A leakage canceller and adaptive algorithm for FMCW Radar is presented. Because a strong leakage signal causes various problems in the transceiver and digital processor, specific FMCW radars are in need of a leakage canceller. The leakage canceller has an adaptive structure and the algorithm calculates the prediction vector and learns the adaptive coefficient simultaneously. The proposed algorithm an improvement of 10 dB in the cancellation performance.

We design and fabricate the 94 GHz Coplanar waveguide(CPW)-to-rectangular waveguide transition that is transmits signal smoothly between the CPW, which is a popular transmission line of the planar circuits, and rectangular waveguide for the 94 GHz transceiver system. The proposed transition composed of the unilateral fin-line taper and open type CPW-to-slot-line transition is based on the hard and inflexible sapphire for the flip-chip bonding of the planar MMICs using conventional MMIC technology. We optimize a single section transition to achieve low loss by using an EM field solver of Ansoft's HFSS and fabricate the back- to-back transition that is measured by Anritsu ME7808A Vector Network Analyzer in a frequency range of $85{\sim}105$ GHz. From the measurement and do-embedding CPW with 3 mm length, an insertion and return loss of a single-section transition are 1.7 dB and more an 25 than at 94 GHz, respectively.
