원격 초고주파 플라즈마를 이용한 원자층 박막증착 장치를 이용한 ZnO 나노박막의 전기적 광학적 특성에 미치는 공정변수의 영향을 조사하였다. 실험결과 Al 이온주입이 증가할수록 ZnO의 금지대역이 증가하여 광투과도가 향상되었으며, 5%에서 94%의 기시광 영역 투과도를 얻을 수 있었다. 기판온도가 증가함에 따라 결정성장이 향상되었으며, 원격 플라즈마 파워가 증가함에 따라 박막의 표면조도와 밀도가 증가하였다. 플라즈마를 사용한 경우, $100^{\circ}C$의 낮은 온도에서도 우수한 저항, 이동도 특성을 얻을 수 있었다.

The wirebonding is a common interconnection technique for modern microwave devices because of rather simple and reliable processes involved. At millimeter-wave frequencies, however, the bondwire parasitics are significant and consequently limit the external performance of packaged devices. In this paper, we represent wideband characterization of multiple bondwires and ribbon in a frequency range from 20 to 35 GHz. From these results, the double bondwire shows very small insertion loss less than 0.55 dB up to 35 GHz and its performance is comparable to that of the ribbon in the millimeter-wave frequencies. Therefore, the wirebonding is very suitable for millimeter wave packaging in terms of performance and manufacturing cost.

This paper describes a monolithic Darlington-cascade amplifier (DCA) operating at X-band, realized with a 0.35-micron SiGe bipolar process, which provides 45 GHz $f_T$. A conventional cascade amplifier was also designed on the same process and tested to establish a reference. Compared to the reference cascade amplifier, the proposed monolithic amplifier circuit exhibits an improved gain of 2.5 dB and improved output power 1-dB compression point of 5.2 dB with 72% wider bandwidth. Measurement results show 19.5 dB gain, 11.2 dBm 1-dB compression power, and 3.1 GHz bandwidth. These results demonstrate that the Darlington-cascade cell is an advantageous substitute to the conventional cascade amplifier.

This paper presents the fabrication of the LNA which is operating at 2.13 ~ 2.16 GHz for IMT-2000 front-end receiver using series feedback and resistive decoupling circuit. Series feedback added to the source lead of a GaAs FET keeps the low noise characteristics and drops the input reflection coefficient of a low noise amplifier simultaneously. Also, it increases the stability of the LNA. Resistive decoupling circuit is suitable for input stage matching because a signal at low frequency is dissipated by a resistor in the matching network. The amplifier consists of GaAs FET ATF-10136 for low noise stage and VNA-25 which is internally matched MMIC for high gain stage. The amplifier is fabricated with both the RF circuits and self bias circuit on the Teflon substrate with 3.5 permittivity. The measured results of the LNA which is fabricated using the above design technique are presented more than 30 dB in gain, PldB 17 dB and less than 0.7 dB in noise figure, 1.5 in inputㆍoutput SWR(Standing Wave Ratio).

Planar square-spiral antenna using a strip conductor is proposed and analyzed for RFID system in UHF band operating from 860MHz to 960MHz. By varying the length of common line, detached distance, strip line-space, strip line-width and the number of spiral turn, the optimized antenna are designed and fabricated in compact size without a matching-stub between the input port of the proposed antenna and RFID tag chip. From the optimized results, the frequency bandwidth in VSWR<2 has covered 100MHz in the RFID UHF band. The antenna gain has obtained 3.5dBi at the center frequency of 910MHz and the desired beam pattern has shown directional pattern on elevation and azimuth angle. Therefore, the proposed antenna is suitable for practical RFID applications requiring various tag chips with the specific input impedance.

UHF and microwave RFID systems are widely applied in various fields because they can read a plurality of tag information within a radius of several meters ahead of the RFID reader. However, they cannot detect the position of the tag in applications that recognize only a tag at a specific position. In this study, we propose a new RFID system that can interrogate the tag of a specific location selectively by using the position information of the tag. This can be done by only adjusting the reader's operating frequency. To verify the feasibility of the proposed system, we implemented a 2.4 GHz RFID reader whose frequency can be varied by using a phase-locked loop circuit and a backscattered tag. Experimental results confirm that the tag position can be sensed exactly.
