Abstract:
The present invention relates to a polymer blend electrolyte membrane comprising an inorganic polymer having polydimethylsiloxane as a main chain, which has a pore structure at both ends formed by condensation reaction between 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and tetraethylorthosilicate, wherein phosphoric acid is chemically linked to an amino group of the pore structure; and a proton-conducting polymer having a cation exchange group at the side chain thereof, as well as a manufacturing method thereof. Generally, proton-conducting electrolyte membranes have significantly reduced ion conductivity at high temperatures. However, proton-conducting electrolyte membranes have advantages in terms of efficiency and cost, and thus it is needed to develop an electrolyte membrane, which has excellent ion conductivity even at high temperature. Accordingly, the present invention aims to provide a polymer blend electrolyte membrane for use at high temperature and a manufacturing method thereof.

Abstract:
Provided is a circuit for compensating for the declination of balanced impedance elements and a frequency mixer. The compensation circuit compensates for a difference between impedance measured at first and second impedance elements, and comprises first and second impedance circuits. The first impedance circuit transforms a first impedance value into a fine impedance value having 2n steps in response to n lower bits of a control signal having k bits. The second impedance circuit transforms a second impedance value into a coarse impedance value having 2m steps in response to m upper bits of the control signal. The first and second impedance values are measured at the first and second impedance elements, respectively, and k is equal to m plus n. The impedance difference between the impedance elements is linearly regulated.
Abstract:
A frequency mixing circuit and a frequency mixing method. The frequency mixing circuit includes first and second differential amplifiers, a subtracter and a mixer. The first differential amplifier amplifies a first pair of input signals having a first frequency to generate a first differential signal. The second differential amplifier amplifies a second pair of input signals having the first frequency orthogonal to the first pair input signals to generate a second differential signal. The subtracter subtracts the second differential signal from the first differential signal. The mixer mixes the subtracted signal with a first and second pairs of drive signals having a second frequency orthogonal to each other, in a sub-harmonic double balanced mixing mode, so that the mixer generates a pair of output signals orthogonal to each other without secondary harmonics.

Abstract:
A capacitance multiplier includes a self-biasing active load for generating a stable bias voltage without a separate current bias. In addition, the capacitance multiplier includes a cascode load within a multiplying section for increasing the output resistance and in turn the charging/discharging efficiency. Furthermore, the capacitance multiplier is implemented with a plurality of multiplying paths to reduce effects of noise for more stable generation of the multiplied capacitance.
