In this paper, X-band 60 W Solid-State Power Amplifier with sequential control circuit and pulse width variation circuit for improve bias of SSPA module was designed. The sequential control circuit operate in regular sequence drain bias switching of GaAs FET. The distortion and efficiency of output signals due to SSPA nonlinear degradation is increased by making operate in regular sequence the drain bias wider than that of RF input signals pulse width if only input signal using pulsed width variation. The GaAs FETs are used for the 60 W SSPA module which is consists of 3-stage modules, pre-amplifier stage, driver-amplifier stage and main-power amplifier stage. The main power amplifier stage is implemented with the power combiner, as a balanced amplifier structure, to obtain the power greater than 60 W. The designed SSPA modules has 50 dB gain, pulse period 1 msec, pulse width 100 us, 10 % duty cycle and 60 watts output power in the frequency range of 9.2~9.6 GHz and it can be applied to solid-state pulse compression radar using pulse SSPA.

The cymbal transducer is a miniaturized version of the Class V flextensional transducer. It has low resonant frequency and high output pressure characteristics compared with its size. However, since it has high quality factor and low energy conversion efficiency as well, it is often used as an array rather than single. When used as an array, a big change in the frequency characteristics occurs in comparison with that of the single transducer due to the interaction between constituent transducers. In this study, we designed a pattern of cymbal array with a view to having broadband characteristics. Three transducers having different center frequencies were designed first. The designed cymbal transducers were used to construct all possible patterns of a 3 × 3 planar array. After analyzing frequency characteristics of these patterns, based on the results, we derived the most effective pattern to achieve a higher fractional bandwidth. The derived array pattern showed an improvement of the fractional bandwidth by 24.9 % in comparison with the reference model.

An internal antenna which has 1 cc volume was implemented on the FPCB(Flexible Printed Circuit Board) for the mobile phone. We increased antenna gain and efficiency by the applying of current direction concept on the antenna pattern for this small antenna. Short antenna length for the GSM band was compensated by the spiral inductor on the FPCB. For broadening bandwidth on GSM band, it's applied 2 spiral inductors. A conductor pattern for the DCS band was positioned perpendicular with the FPCB. Antenna was implemented on FPCB that is dielectric constant 4.4 and thickness 0.05 mm, and FPCB was attached on a carrier dimensioned $L{\times}W{\times}H=30{\times}7{\times}5\;mm$. Measurements showed that max. VSWR 2:1, efficiency 42.49~60.95 % and 47.95~73.21 %, average gain -3.72~-2.15 dBi and -3.19~-1.35 dBi on the GSM and DCS band, respectively. These results are good performances among the small antenna. And the radiation patterns are omnidirectional on the H-plane to both band.

In this paper we show impulse generator which is important component in UWB communication. There is two steps to generate monocycle impulse. In first step, Gaussian pulse was made by operation of transistor switching and operation time of transistor switching. The second step the high pass filter change from Gaussian to Monocycle impulse. The result of this impulse generator is impulse whose pulse width is 0,9 ns in time domain and amplitude is +/-250 ㎷.

Theory and experimental results of measuring the microwave dielectric characteristics of low-loss materials by using dielectric rod resonator method are presented. The $TE_{011}$ mode resonance frequency was adapted to minimize the effect of the air gap between the rod and the conducting plates. The dielectric properties were computed from the resonance frequency, sample geometry and 3 dB bandwidth. The error of measurements was within ${\pm}3{\%}$ for dielectric constant and was within ${\pm}12{\%}$ for dielectric loss.

정보통신 기술의 발전으로 지능형 자동차와 같은 미래형 고부가 가치 자동차 산업은 지속적인 성장이 기대된다. 그리고, 안전과 직결되는 차간 거리 계측은 다양한 종류의 센서에 의해 측정이 되고 있으며, 운전자 및 탑승자의 생명을 보호하고 있다. 다양한 차간 거리센서 중에서도 전방의 물체 인식 및 넓은 영역, 장거리에 대한 센싱은 레이저를 이용하여 구현할 수 있다. 본 논문은 자동차 뿐만 아니라, 지능형 자율 주행시 전방의 물체 인식 및 거리 계측 센서로 적용이 가능한 반도체 레이저의 설계 및 제작에 관해 소개한다. 반도체 레이저는 물질에 따라 각각 다른 파장대역의 광을 조사하고 있으며 이 레이저 빔은 물체에 맞고 부딪히면 반사되어 되돌아 오는 특성을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 펄스 구동에 의해 단위 펄스당 출사되는 레이저는 전방 물체에 부딪혀 되돌아 오는 시간을 구하게 되면 레이저 광원에서 물체까지의 거리를 구할 수가 있게 된다. 여기서 펄스 레이저의 출력은 물체 감지가 가능한 거리의 정보를 가지고 있으며, 펄스로 구동될 때 반복 주파수 및 펄스 폭은 각각 거리계측 시간과 분해능을 결정하는 주요 요소가 된다. 따라서, 장거리 물체의 계측과 물체 식별 능력을 높이기 위해서는 반도체 레이저의 출력을 높이고 펄스폭을 줄여서 분해능을 향상하는 것이 필요하다. 또한, 물체 인식 또는 계측 시간을 빠르게 하기 위해서는 고속 주파수로 동작하게 되면 가능해 질 것이다. 본 논문은 1,550 nm 대역의 반도체 레이저를 제작하여 펄스 구동으로 출력과 펄스폭을 측정하였다. 또한, 보다 높은 전류에서 칩 단면의 열화를 방지하기 위한 기술을 적용하여 설계 및 제작된 레이저의 특성을 측정하여 향후, 지능형 자동차의 레이저 레이다(LIDAR)와 같은 응용분야에 많이 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
