In the existing RF communication based WPAN environment, a lowering of battery span and interference problem among sensors occur because the value of output is set and transmitted steadily when the system on sensor is initialized. Therefore, this paper proposes a framework and a transmit method with low power which decreases the electricity consumption by properly controling transmit power of opponent by received signal strength indicator(RSSI) of each sensor. The system proposes a power-lowering method by controling transmit power properly by the transmit intensity of the connected sensor after being affected by the transmit intensity of surrounded sensor. The framework that is proposed in this paper includes data transmit module, transmit power manager module, transmit power searching module, signal transmit module, and signal receiving module.

We investigate the adaptive channel attenuation compensation of satellite OFDMA downlink users for minimum PAR (Peak to Average power Ratio), which is one of the main challenging issues in satellite OFDMA application. First, we analyze and compare PAR performances of two main different channel attenuation compensation schemes for OFDMA, i.e., PC-OFDMA (power control OFDMA) and AMC-OFDMA (Adaptive Modulation and Coding). While AMC-OFDMA maintains the constant transmission powers through entire user data subcarriers, PC-OFDMA has non-uniform subcarrier transmission powers because subcarrier powers are separately controlled to compensate each user's sub-channel attenuation. We newly found the fact that non-uniform subcarrier power in PC-OFDMA achieves rather reduced PAR compared to AMC-OFDMA and the amount of reduction becomes larger as the power differences among subcarriers increase. Also, there is an additional PAR reduction in PC-OFDMA by optimizing subcarrier grouping scheme for user's sub-channelization.

In this paper, we propose the measurement techniques of mixed waveform. Mixed waveform has phase-continuous periodic waveform with fixed frequency signal and Linear Frequency Modulation(LFM) signal. This waveform is generated from a compact radar transmitter with frequency synthesizer and high power amplifier. Frequency synthesizer generates various signal waveform with continuos phase and high power amplifier amplify transmitting signal. First, we describe a compact radar transmitter with the phase-continuos signal and then verify the distortion characteristic of pulse compression by the mismatch of LFM waveform. Second, we describe three kinds of measurement techniques for measuring LFM waveform. These techniques include methods using signal analyzer, signal source analyzer and new methods using RF mixer and phase shifter. Finally, we verify the accuracy of the measurement technique from the pulse compression result of receiving signal.

This paper introduces a direct-conversion CMOS RF transmitter for the IEEE 802.15.4 standard with a low-power high-gain up-conversion mixer designed in $0.18{\mu}m$ process. The designed RF DCT(Direct Conversion Transmitter) is composed of differential DAC(Digital to Analog Converter), passive low-pass filter, quadrature active mixer and drive amplifier. The most important characteristic in designing RF DCT is to satisfy the 2.4 GHz Zigbee standard in low power. The quadrature active mixer inside the proposed RF DCT provides enough high gain as well as sufficient linearity using a gain boosting technique. The measurement results for the proposed transmitter show very low power consumption of 7.8 mA, output power more than 0 dBm and ACPR (Adjacent Channel Power Ratio) of -30 dBc.

This paper has proposed a dual-band transmitter RF Front-end for IMT-Advanced systems which has been implemented in a 0.13-${\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The proposed dual-band transmitter RF Front-End covers 2300~2700 MHz, 3300~3800 MHz frequency ranges which support 802.11, Mobile WiMAX, and IMT-Advanced system. The proposed dual-band transmitter RF Front-End consumes 45 mA from a 1.2 V supply voltage. The performances of the transmitter RF Front-End are verified through post-layout simulations. The simulation results show a +0 dBm output power at 2 GHz band, and +1.3 dBm output power at 3 GHz band.

This paper presents a design of high-efficiency and high-power class E power transmitter. The transmitter is composed of 300 Watt class E power amplifier and AC-DC converter. The AC-DC converter converts 220 V and 60 Hz AC to a 290 V DC. The generated DC voltage is directly applied to a bias of the class E power amplifier. Because the converter does not have DC-DC converter unit, it has very high conversion efficiency of about 98.03 %. To minimize the loss at the output of the power amplifier, high-Q inductor was implemented and deployed to the output resonant circuit. As a result, the 13.56 MHz class E power amplifier has a high power-added efficiency of 84.2 % at the peak output power of 323.6 W. The overall efficiency of class E power transmitter, including the AC-DC converter, is as high as 82.87 %.

현존하는 저궤도위성의 S-Band 관제채널은 대부분 RH 또는 LH 편파를 사용한다. 그러나 다목적실용위성 3호와 같이 RH와 LH 편파를 동시에 사용하는 위성의 경우 위성추적을 위해 사용되어지는 지상안테나는 RH와 LH 편파를 동시에 수신하여야할 뿐만 아니라 편파변경시점에 따라 송신출력의 편파가 변경되어야하기 때문에 지상에서 위성으로 명령을 전송할 수 있는 송신가능시간(Command Window)에 영향을 미친다. 이러한 저궤도위성의 RH와 LH 편파의 신호세기는 위성체의 자세 및 운영방법에 따라 결정되어지기 때문에 다양한 형태의 편파수신경향성을 나타낸다. 따라서 이러한 영향을 최소화하기 위하여 지상안테나는 RH 및 LH 편파에 대하여 자동추적기능을 수행하여 위성을 추적하게 된다. 지상안테나의 자동추적기능은 수신되는 신호세기를 순간적으로 비교하여 가장 큰 세기의 신호가 수신될 수 있도록 제어하는 기술로서 수신신호의 형태에 따라 영향을 받으며 이 때 발생하는 오차는 위성추적에 지대한 영향을 미친다. 또한 편파가 변경되는 시점에서는 자동추적오차가 증가하게 되는 경향을 나타나게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다양한 형태로 동시 수신되는 RH 및 LH 편파의 자동추적오차를 분석하여 송신가능시간(Command Window) 및 수신신호에 어느 정도 영향을 미치는지에 대하여 분석하였으며 본 영향을 최소화할 수 있는 방법에 대하여 기술하였다.

본 논문에서는 새로운 자기 공진형 무선 전력 전송 시스템을 제안한다. 송신부 2개를 배치하여 기존의 1 대 1 자기 공진보다 더욱 넓은 범위를 확보하여 실용성을 높이고자 한다. 동일한 송신부 2개를 배치하여 자기장의 세기를 높임으로써 수신부에 전송되는 전력의 크기 및 거리를 증대시킬 수 있다. 또한, 송 수신코일의 위치에 따라 서로 다른 출력 전력을 위상 제어를 통하여 다양한 범위의 일정한 전력을 제어할 수 있다. 이때 위상천이를 하지 않을 시에 고정된 입력 전류가 흐르게 된다. 하지만 위상천이, 즉 2개의 송신코일에서 전달하는 전류 조절을 시도함으로써 수신 측으로 전달하여 일정한 전력을 얻을 수 있었다. 실험을 통해, 기존의 방식보다 높은 성능을 가짐을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we consider to obtain the criteria for maximal power of interfering transmitter according to distance between WiBro and WLAN in TVWS. We analyze this criteria as a parameter for co-use when hetero systems share the same frequency channels. In order to make an analysis of relationship between distance and power of two systems, we take into consideration on two cases. First, WiBro is an interfering transmitter and WLAN is a victim receiver. Second, WLAN is an interfering transmitter and WiBro is a victim receiver. Analyzed coexistence results under various co-use scenarios may be widely applied into the technique developed to get the coexisting condition for wireless devices using many communication protocols in same frequency.

In this paper, two types of micro-optic submersion detection systems are proposed and demonstrated. The structures are based on the transmission and reflection of incident light, respectively. Two collimators are separated by 10 mm and installed face to face in straight line. The incident light transmits from one side of collimator to the other through the air, but the optical loss is below 1 dB. On the other hand, when the sensors are submersed into water, most of optical power scattered into water. The systems monitor the dramatical power change to alarm the submersion. Reflection type of sensor system has a Bragg grating at the end of the sensor for back-reflection of sensing signal. This is for simple configuration of systems. The performance of two sensor systems are described in detail.
