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: A variable view imaging system for observation of micro object with variable view orientation and position includes a telecentric lens group, a scanning mirror, wedge prisms, a deformable mirror and related optical elements. The combination of a scanning mirror and a telecentric lens group decouples the motion of scanning mirror and the view angle. The view angle is determined only by the angle of the wedge prisms. This design increases the zenith angle of the view and simplifies the kinematics of the system. The wedge prisms and the scanning mirror can supply a flexible view in a compact way. The wavefront error induced by the wedge prisms is corrected by the deformable mirror. In order to achieve the desired view state during operation, the scanning mirror angle and the wedge prisms angle are calculated iteratively based on the kinematics and Jacobian matrix of system.

Accordingly, reflected wave due to an impedance mismatching can be reduced to enhance the signal integrity.

Abstract: A method quickly resuming a downlink service in a hard handover in a cellular mobile communication system. To provide the fast downlink service to an MS during a hard handover from an OBS to an NBS, the NBS receives handover user information from the OBS, and generates an MS temporary ID using the handover user information to identify the MS. If user data is generated for the MS before a connection is established for traffic transmission between the MS and the NBS, the NBS transmits the user data to the MS on an HCCH using the MS temporary ID.

Abstract: The present invention relates to vibration-insensitive point-diffraction interferometry. For the purpose of obtaining high immunity to vibration, a single-mode optical fiber is used to generate the reference wave, by means of point diffraction, directly from a measurement wave reflected from test objects.

The present invention may be effectively used in the design of measuring systems for in-line applications where measurements need to be performed in the presence of significant levels of vibration.
