In this paper the design of a new microstrip wide-band microwave discdriminator is presented which is composed of a binary power divider, an open stub and a shorted stub. The microstrip line frequency discriminator is designed at the center frequency of 3.2GHz. Measured discriminating bandwidth is about 20% and return loss is 15dB or more over that frequency range. Experimetal results are in good agreement with the theory.

In this paper, a digital signal processing method of AFC (automatic frequency control) is proposed for a home use VCR system. The proposed method has the ability of frequency tracking of a wide range. Implemented with digital circuits, the system is to be used in a digital video system and saves the cost of a hardware compared with a conventional analog automatic frequency control method using several PLL's in case of making home use VCR systems compatible with several TV systems.

This paper presents a design of wide angle steering microstrip Rotman lens operating over broadband frequency range for Electronic Warfare equipments. It has a compact and simple structure which it is easy to manufacture repetitively. The lens is modelled as a 2-dimension planar circuit, the contour integral method is performed over entire lens contour and the transmission coefficients from 8 beam ports to 8 array ports are found. The measured results are well agreed with those of analysis. Prediction of the multibeam array pattern fed by linear array antenna shows $\pm$65$^{\circ}$ of beam steering and $\pm$5 dB insertion loss deviation over 3:1 frequency range.

Since the digital TV signal band is very wide ($54{\sim}806MHz$), the VCO used in the frequency synthesizer must also have a wide frequency tuning range. Multiple LC VCOs have been used to cover such wide frequency band. However, the chip area increases due to the increased number of integrated inductors. In this paper, a scheme is proposed to cover the full band using only one VCO. The RF VCO block designed using a 0.18um CMOS process consists of a wideband LC VCO, five divide-by-2 circuits and several buffers. The simulation results show that the designed circuit has a phase noise at 10kHz better than -87dBc/Hz throughout the signal band and consumes 10mA from a 1.8V supply.

An analytic approach to wide-band amplification using simplified equivalent MESFET modeling has enabled an ultrabroad-band flat-gain amplifier from DC to microwave. The developed lossy-match ultrabroad-band amplifier operates as a RC coupled circuit in the low-frequency range and lossless impedance matching circuit in the microwave frequency range with gain compensation circuits. The reduced gain caused by external resistors is compensated using 2-stage cascade amplification, and the gain of designed unit is 12.5.+-.1dB from the vicinity of DC to 7GAz. The experimental gain characteristics are good agreement with computer simulated results. The input and output VSWRs are measured under 2:1 over the operating frequency range, and the gain goes down over 15dBrange with various gate bias voltages.

This paper presents a wide-frequency-range, low-power transceiver with an automatic impedance-matching calibration for TV-white-space (TVWS) application. The wide-range automatic impedance matching calibration (AIMC) is proposed for the Drive Amplifier (DA) and LNA. The optimal $S_{22}$ and $S_{11}$ matching capacitances are selected in the DA and LNA, respectively. Also, the Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch is integrated to share the antenna and matching network between the transmitter and receiver, thereby minimizing the systemic cost. An N-path filter is proposed to reject the large interferers in the TVWS frequency band. The current-driven mixer with a 25% duty LO generator is designed to achieve the high-gain and low-noise figures; also, the frequency synthesizer is designed to generate the wide-range LO signals, and it is used to implement the FSK modulation with a programmable loop bandwidth for multi-rate communication. The TVWS transceiver is implemented in $0.13{\mu}m$, 1-poly, 6-metal CMOS technology. The die area of the transceiver is $4mm{\times}3mm$. The power consumption levels of the transmitter and receiver are 64.35 mW and 39.8 mW, respectively, when the output-power level of the transmitter is +10 dBm at a supply voltage of 3.3 V. The phase noise of the PLL output at Band 2 is -128.3 dBc/Hz with a 1 MHz offset.

In this paper, a simple power control scheme for a constant frequency Class-D inverter with a variable duty cycle is proposed. It is more suitable and acceptable for high- frequency induction heating (IH) jar applications. The proposed control scheme has the advantages of not only wide power regulation range but also ease of control output power. Also it can achieve a stable and efficient Zero-Voltage-Switching (ZVS) in a whole load range. The control principles of the proposed method are described in detail and its validity is verified through simulated and experimental results on 42.8kHz IGBT for induction heating rated on 1.6kW with constant frequency variable power.

In recent years, along with the development of ultrasonic probe with wide frequency range, the digitization of measuring instrument, and the development of operating process technics, it is possible to analyze ultrasonic pulse in frequency range. In this paper, applying to flaw model the ultrasonic spectroscopy method that can analyze ultrassonic pulse in frequency range, we examine the possibility of quantification of flaw and apply its result to the void and seperation in LSI package. Consequently, by using the change in frequency distribution and central frequency of sltrasonic pulse detected from flaw, the estimation of shape, size, and depth of flaw is possible. The change in central frequency is changed minutely by the sample materals and position of flaw, but changed mainly by the shape and size of flaw. And we can quantify the shape and size of flaw in LSI pakcage using the experimental result through flaw model.

The frequency power control method (FCM) which has a wide operating frequency range is adopted for induction heating (IH) cooktops. When FCM is applied to the full-bridge series resonant converter (FB-SRC) based IH system, high-frequency switching of the inverter is required compared to the half-bridge SRC (HB-SRC)-based IH system. Therefore, the switching loss of the inverter increases, and applying FCM under the condition that the inverter operating frequency range is limited is difficult. Therefore, this paper proposes a control strategy with the phase shift power control method considering that limited frequency conditions are presented. Loss analysis following the control method is performed through simulation and mathematical analysis. In addition, the validity of the proposed control strategy is verified by analyzing the heating performance following the control method through the test results of the 3,200[W] prototype.

A novel voltage-fed single-stage power factor correction (PFC) full-bridge converter based on asymmetric phase-shifted control for battery chargers is proposed in this paper. The attractive feature of the proposed converter is that it can operate in a wide output voltage range without an output low-frequency ripple, which is indispensable in battery charger applications. Meanwhile, the converter can maintain a high power factor and a controllable dc bus voltage over a wide output voltage range. In this paper, the realization of PFC and the operation principle of asymmetric phase-shifted control are given. A small-signal analysis of the proposed single-stage power factor correction (PFC) full-bridge converter is performed. Experimental results obtained from a 1kW experimental prototype are given to validate the feasibility of the proposed converter. The PF is higher than 0.97 over the entire output voltage range with the proposed control strategy.
