This paper reports on the development of a 60㎓ wide bandwidth wireless transceiver using NRD waveguide. We fabricated a wireless transceiver using NRD waveguide, which consists of a 3 dB directional coupler, a bandpass filter, a Gunn oscillator, an ASK modulator, and a Balanced Mixer. The new transceiver is capable of transmitting an output power of 10mW to a distance of more than 1 Km, operating in 60㎓ frequency and bandwidth of 2㎓. The value of BER reached approximately 10 when the transceiver was tested at the 155.52Mbps ATM(OC 3) at the communication distance of 1 km. It demonstrated an impressively stable transmission feature of BER l0$^{6}$ even in the heavy rainfall.

We consider a linear transceiver design method for multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) downlink channels where a base station (BS) equipped with a finitely large number of antennas. Although a matched-filter precoder is a capacity-achieving method in massive MIMO downlink systems, it cannot guarantee to achieve the multi-user MIMO capacity in a finitely large number of antennas due to inter-user interferences. In this paper, we propose a two-stage precoder design method that maximizes the sum-rate of cell-edge users when the BS equipped with a finitely large number of antennas. At the first stage, a matched-filter precoder is adopted to exploit both beamforming gain and the reduction of the dimension of effective channels. Then, we derive the second stage precoder that maximizes the sum-rate by minimizing the weighted mean square error (WMSE). From simulation and analysis, we verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The network interference gives positive and negative effects to security and QoS simultaneously by disturbing the decoding of receiver and eavesdropper. The transmission of artificial noise enables to indirectly control these contradicting effects. This paper proposed the secrecy enhancement technique via artificial noise with protected zones of transmitter and receiver and investigated its gain by using stochastic geometry. For given arbitrary artificial noise power ratio, we first analyzed connection outage probability and secrecy outage probability for four different scenarios (separated, overlapped, included secrecy protected zones- type A, B) according to distance and size of protected zones of the transmitter and receiver. We then derive the secrecy transmission rate and find the optimal artificial noise power ratio to maximize it. Finally, with numerical examples, we investigate the effects of the system parameters such as size of protected zones of transmitter and receiver on the optimal artificial noise power ratio.

In this paper, we have proposed gigabit serial transceiver based on backplane architecture at the satellite communication digital transponder. The transponder supports the full combinational switching function with broadband multi-channel using programmable device - Xilinx space-grade Virtex-5 FPGA. In order to implement the switching function, GTX transceiver solution inside Virtex-5 FPGA is used. Also hardware implementation is simple because of no additional component. In order to use a GTX transceiver, signal integrity(SI) simulation of PCB design is essential. We investigate the characteristics of the S-parameter, eye diagram, channel jitter of GTX transmission line and conform that GTX Transceiver operates without error. Finally the proposed PCB design will be utilized at satellite communication digital transponder EQM-2(Engineering Qualification Model-2).

This paper proposes a robust localization algorithm and optimal number of receivers considering the detection range of underwater targets. The accuracies of the source position, receiver position and sound velocity are improved using the known positions of underwater objects. The accuracies of these parameters influences the performance of the target localization error. Although the source and receiver positions are obtained by the global positioning system (GPS), there are still positional errors due to GPS and variations in sea temperature. First, the influence of those errors are analyzed mathematically and an algorithm is improved to improve the accuracies of source position, receiver position and sound velocity by using geographic points. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated in comparison with the conventional algorithm by computer simulations.

In this paper, we designed a RF transceiver for small unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) using power switching method. To apply for the UAV, several characteristics such as size, weight, and power consumption are very important. To reduce power consumption, we propose a new power switching method. Using the proposed method, we fabricated the RF transceiver needed to establish the data link for a small UAV. The fabricated RF transceiver shows an output power of +25 dBm, a noise figure of 4.56 dB and a received signal strength of -100 dBm. By performing power measurement of proposed switching method, 25 % of power could be reduced. The size of the fabricated RF transceiver is $100{\times}60{\times}5.7mm^3$ and the weight is as small as 38 g.

60GHz band RF transceiver was made with the NRD waveguide structure for the point- to-point communication. A dielectric line that of comprising NRD waveguide was the milling process was not easy because a material gets soft, and also compression and expansion according to a temperature were serious, so this line was not suitable for the device in which the resonance characteristic was important. In addition, the thing for comprising amplification module was difficult in the NRD waveguide structure. In this paper, a way in which to overcome mentioned in upper part, the transceiver was made by below technology. Components in which the resonance characteristic was not important were made with the NRD waveguide hybrid IC, and components in which the resonance characteristic was important were made with waveguide. An amplifier packaged and modularizing the bare chip, it equipped at the NRD waveguide within. Manufactured transceiver communicated with FDD method, and it had 10dBm output power, and -60dBm minimum receive sensitivity.

In this paper, we propose transceiver design strategies for the two-cell multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) interfering broadcast channel where inter-cell interference (ICI) exists in addition to inter-user interference (IUI). We first formulate the generalized zero-forcing interference alignment (ZF-IA) method based on the alignment of IUI and ICI in multi-dimensional subspace. We then devise a minimum weighted-mean-square-error (WMSE) method based on "regularizing" the precoders and decoders of the generalized ZF-IA scheme. In contrast to the existing weighted-sum-rate-maximizing transceiver, our method does not require an iterative calculation of the optimal weights. Because of this, the proposed scheme, while not designed specially to maximize the sum-rate, is computationally efficient and achieves a faster convergence compared to the known weighed-sum-rate maximizing scheme. Through analysis and simulation, we show the effectiveness of the proposed regularized ZF-IA scheme.

A bi-directional DC-DC converter has been developed for a wireless power transceiver which enables a device to receive and transmit power wireless. Generally, the wireless power transceiver requires two DC-DC covnerter and two external inductors. However, the proposed wireless power transceiver requires only one DC-DC converter and one inductor, allowing small form-factor. The bi-directional DC-DC converter implemented in $0.35{\mu}m$ BCDMOS process operates as a buck converter at the wireless power receiving mode and the power efficiency is 91% when the ouput power is 3W. In the wireless power transmitter mode, the DC-DC converter operates as a boost converter. With the bi-directional DC-DC converter and the proposed efficiency maximizing techniques, the power efficiency of wireless power transceiver is 81.7% in receiver mode and 76.5% in transmitter mode.
