Abstract: An apparatus for generating a Carrier-Suppressed Return-to-Zero (CS-RZ) signal is disclosed. The apparatus includes a mixer, a Low Pass Filter (LPF), a driver amplifier and a single external modulator. The mixer generates a modulator input by mixing data with a half clock signal. The LPF band-limits the modulator input data into low frequency band data. The driver amplifier amplifies the modulator input data generated by the mixing of the mixer and the band-limiting of the LPF. The external modulator generates CS-RZ signal, in which the phases of adjacent pulses have been inverted, by applying bias voltage to the modulator input data to be placed at the null point of the transfer function of the external modulator.

Abstract: Provided is a sub-harmonic frequency mixer having a structure in which two terminals of transistors receiving a Radio Frequency (RF) signal and a Local Oscillation (LO) signal are coupled. The frequency mixer is composed of a single-level structure of transistors and thus can be driven at a lower supply voltage compared to a common frequency mixer. A direct-conversion receiver employing such a frequency mixer needs an RF signal and an LO signal sources of single-phase. Therefore, the direct-conversion receiver has an architecture that simplifies a whole RF transceiver circuit and thus can be advantageously applied in implementing SoC (System-on-Chip) for a low power, high integration, low price and subminiature wireless transceiver circuit.

Abstract: In wireless Internet, a resource reservation path is established between a CH and a MH through an initial BS located in an initial cell where the MH is currently located. Pseudo reservation paths (PRPs) are established between the initial BS and its neighboring BSs, one PRP being established between the current BS and each of the neighboring BSs. Once the MH moves into one of the neighboring cells of the initial cell, a PRP established for a neighbor BS is activated. The activated PRP is concatenated with the established resource reservation path through the initial BS and the neighbor BS, thereby establishing an optimized resource reservation path.
