In this paper, it is studied a novel SAW oscillator by applicating SAW delay characteristics, which can be variable its frequencies by consiting of two output IDT(Inter-Digital Transducer) without external filtering and resonating circuits. The results of experiments showed the temperature characteristics of AT-cut quartz which has been used as frequency-determing substrate of SAW oscillator was good. Though the variable frequencies range was narrow but the experiments showed the possibility to broaden its frequencies range by design of SAW device, and also confromed the stability of fundamental wave oscillating in high frequency range.

This paper describes design of a variable-N frequency synthesizer for RF PLL with $0.13{\mu}m$ silicon CMOS technology being used as an application of the UWB system like MBOA. To get good performance of speed and noise super dynamic circuits was used, and to get variable-N division ratio MOSFET switching circuits was used. Especially to solve narrow bandwidth problem of the dynamic circuits load resistance value of unit divider block was varied. Simulation results of the designed circuit shows very fast and wide operation characteristics as 5~26GHz frequency range.

ECG signals are often contaminated with high-frequency noise such as muscle artifact, power line interference, and others. In the ECG signal processing, especially during a pre-processing stage, numerous noise removal techniques have been used to reduce these high-frequency noise without much distorting the original signal. This paper proposes a new type of digital filter with a continuously variable cutoff frequency to improve the signal quality This filter consists of a cutoff frequency controller (CFC) and variable cutoff frequency lowpass filter (VCF-LPF). From the noisy input ECG signal, CFC produces a cutoff frequency control signal using the signal slew rate. We implemented VCF-LPF based on two new filter design methods called convex combination filter (CCF) and weight interpolation fille. (WIF). These two methods allow us to change the cutoff frequency of a lowpass filter In an arbitrary fine step. VCF-LPF shows an excellent noise reduction capability for the entire time segment of ECG excluding the rising and falling edge of a very sharp QRS complex. We found VCF-LPF very useful and practical for better signal visualization and probably for better ECG interpretation. We expect this new digital filter will find its applications especially in a home health management system where the measured ECG signals are easily contaminated with high-frequency noises .

In this paper we propose a new stereo matching algorithm which is suitable for application to obtain depth information with high-speed in stereoscopic camera environment. For satisfying these condition we propose a new adaptive stereo matching technique using frequency information in discrete wavelet (DWT) domain and variable matching window. The size of the matching window is selected by analysis of the local property of the image in spatial domain and the feature and scaling factor of the matching window is selected by the frequency property in the frequency domain. For using frequency information we use local DWT and global DWT. We identified that the proposed technique has better peak noise to signal ratio (PSNR) than the fixed matching techniques with similar complexity.

A novel tunable bandstop filter was proposed. It is composed of a right-handed transmission line, which has lowpass characteristics, and a left-handed transmission line which has highpass characteristics. Dispersion relations for the unit cells of RHTL and LHTL were derived by the method of ABCD parameter analysis. Varactor diodes and chip inductors were used to make the unit cells of RHTL and LHTL. A tunable bandstop filter was designed and fabricated by the parallel connection of RHTL and LHTL. The measured results of the proposed tunable bandstop filter are agreed well with the simulated results.

A semidynamic frequency divide-by-1.5 MMIC comprises a tunable polyphase filter, tunable image-rejection mixer, and a static divide-by-2 in the feedback path. Wideband suppression of unwanted tones is achieved by employing a tunable image-rejection mixer and a tunable single-stage polyphase filter. Implemented in GaInP/GaAs HBT technology, the divide-by-1.5 MMIC operates over the input frequency range of 4.5 to 9.2 GHz with better than -20 dBc suppressions of $1/3{\times}f_{in}\;and\;f_{in}$ tones, while dissipating 29 mA from 4.1 V supply.

Induction heating method that allows the maximum heating power to be delivered by varying switching frequency in the inductance change of the work coil of induction heater was proposed in this paper. Depending on the type of work piece in the work coil and proximity to the work coil, the resonance frequency of the resonant circuit will be changed. It may be difficult to deliver the maximum power due to the damage of the induced heater element or switching loss depending on the resonance frequency and switching frequency operating relationship. The switching frequency was variable to maintain the maximum power transmission by sensing the heating power due to the change of the resonance frequency. Through the result of the proposed method that can be controlled within the required output change range according to the change of the switching frequency corresponding to the change of the resonance frequency, the induction heater having a variable switching frequency characteristic that can transmit almost constant output power (within 0.43 dB) power efficiency was achieved.
