  • Patent number: 7345715
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for transmitting and receiving multiple signals inclusively in one channel are provided. The apparatus for transmitting multiple signals inclusively includes a single-sideband signal synthesis unit which synthesizes single-sideband signals having predetermined bands to generate an inclusive single-sideband signal which includes the bands of the single-sideband signals; a main modulation unit which modulates an inclusive single-sideband signal with a primary carrier frequency to generate an inclusive double-sideband signal where the primary carrier frequency is the center frequency; a main band pass filter which allows only any one single-sideband signal of an inclusive double-sideband signal to generate an inclusive single-sideband signal where a primary carrier frequency is an edge frequency of the inclusive band; and an inclusive single-sideband signal transmission unit which transmits an inclusive single-sideband signal.

  • Publication number: 20070096821
    Abstract: An amplifier that achieves impedance matching in a wide frequency band is provided. The wide-band amplifier includes a first n-type metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) transistor which receives an input signal; a second NMOS transistor which buffers a signal amplified by the first NMOS transistor; a third NMOS transistor which amplifies a signal supplied from a source of the first NMOS transistor; and an output terminal which outputs a signal obtained by combining the signal buffered by the second NMOS transistor with the signal amplified by the third NMOS transistor.

  • Publication number: 20070042732
    Abstract: A device, system, and method for improving the performance of a tuner for a selected channel by providing a band selection filter controlled by a digital voltage, instead of a notch filter for controlling FM radio signals. The tuner includes a band-selection filter module for selecting a radio frequency RF signal having a frequency within a frequency band of the selected channel using a voltage determined based on digital information; an amplifier module for amplifying the selected RF signal; a mixer module for down-converting the amplified RF signal into a signal having a frequency within an intermediate frequency (IF) band, in which the digital information corresponds to the frequency band of the selected channel.

  • Publication number: 20070001768
    Abstract: A broadband low noise amplifier and amplification method is provided. The broadband low noise amplifier includes an input terminal into which a radio frequency (RF) signal received by an antenna is input, an output terminal from which an amplified RF signal is output, at least one gain control part connected in parallel with loads of the output terminal to adjust the gain of the amplified RF signal, and at least one load tuning part that resonates with loads of the output terminal to adjust the resonance frequency of the load impedance. The method includes amplifying the input RF signal and outputting the amplified RF signal to an output terminal, where a gain of the amplified RF signal is adjusted by switching operations of at least one switching device connected in parallel with a load of the output terminal.

  • Publication number: 20060097792
    Abstract: A variable gain amplifier (VGA) having stable input impedance matching and a stable noise figure in spite of a variation of an amplification gain is provided. In an embodiment of the VGA, a first stage of a cascode amplification unit has a fixed impedance regardless of a change of an amplification gain, and a variable gain determination unit comprised of a plurality of transistors is formed at an upper stage in the cascode amplification unit. Accordingly, a change of an input impedance of the cascode amplification unit due to the change of the amplification gain is minimized. In another embodiment of the VGA, an amplification gain of an amplification unit is controlled by adjusting a voltage applied to the amplification unit by controlling a current to be output by a current supply source, and stable input impedance matching and a stable noise figure are obtained.

  • Patent number: 7012573
    Abstract: A wide band antenna, which has a wide frequency band so that it can be used in a wireless local area network (WLAN) and can be manufactured in a small size at a low cost, is provided. The wide band antenna includes a first antenna unit, a supply cable, a first connector coupler, a second antenna unit, a balun, a stub, and a second connector coupler. A frequency band increases when coupling occurs between the stub and the first antenna unit or the second antenna unit.
