This paper describes a read-only CMOS transponder IC for RFID applications. A full-wave rectifier implemented using NMOS transistors supplies the transponder with a dc supply voltage using the magnetic field generated from a reader. A 64-bit ROM has been designed for a data memory. Front-end impedance modulation and Manchester coding are used for transmitting the data from the transponder memory to the reader. A new damping circuit which has almost constant damping rate under the variations of the distance between the transponder and the reader has been employed for impedance modulation. The designed circuit has been fabricated using a 0.65${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$2-poly, 2-metal CMOS process. Die area is 0.9mm$\times$0.4mm. Measurement results show that it has a constant damping rate of around 20~25% and a data transmission rate of 3.9kbps at a 125KHz RF carrier. The power required for reading operation is about 100㎼. The measured reading distance is around 7cm.

The Digital Frequency Synthesizer(DFS) that generates the wideband signal with hish speed frequency hopping rate and high frequency resolution characteristics was implemented in this paper. The DFS was applied as local oscillator for direct frequency conversion IF modules of DVB-RCS, which directly generates the transmission immediate frequency signal by using DDS and wideband PLL technologies. The DDS technology provides high speed frequency hopping rate and high frequency resolution characteristics, which ate also the DVB-RCS requirement. The wideband PLL technology also provides the wideband signal generation, which is a necessity for direct frequency conversion modules. The implemented DFS provide the spurious suppression characteristic of -50 dBc, frequency resolution of 0.233 Hz and frequency hopping rate of 125 ns, respectively. Also the DFS represent the amplitude flatness of 3 dB and less in the pass-band and phase noise characteristic of -75 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz frequency offset.

This paper presents a 5.8-㎓ oscillator that uses a novel defected ground structure(DGS), which is etched on the metallic ground plane. As the suggested defected ground structure is the structure for mounting an active device, it is the roles of a feedback loop inducing a negative resistance as well as a frequency-selective circuit. Applying the feedback loop between the drain and the gate of a FET device produces precise phase conversion in the feedback loop. The equivalent circuit parameters of the DGS are extracted by using a three-dimensional EM simulation ,md simple circuit analysis method. In order to demonstrate a new DGS oscillator, we designed the oscillator at 5.8-㎓. The experimental results show 4.17 ㏈m output power with over 22 % dc-to-RF power efficiency and - 85.8 ㏈c/Hz phase noise at 100 KHz offset from the fundamental carrier at 5.81 ㎓.

Medical technology is gradually being developed by applying information technologies. Especially, RFID technology is being used for precise disease history information of patients [4]. And in case the patient is far away, the patient can be treated using network communication of the internet [5][6]. The internet makes us to treat or operate the patient without being restricted to time or space. If the above technologies are made as a system, the patient can be treated or operated without being restricted to time or space. In this paper, we present a patient treatment system has been implemented with a system using RFID and network communication of the internet [1][2][3][4]. The system is driven as follows. First, the information of patient can be checked from a remote PC, if the tag that a patient has been read through a reader. And a remote treatment is performed by controlling robot's arm with a joystick using internet network [19][20][21]. The RFID system was implemented in frequency of 125 KHz [1]. The information of patient can be checked with PDA, PC and C-LCD using Bluetooth and WLAN [7][8][9][10]. For the treatment and operation of the patient, the robot's arm has been formed using AX-12 motor, joystick and two buttons [11][12][13][14][15] [17][18].

The distribution of donated blood for medical purpose is an area that presents many challenges. In order to establish a comprehensive solution, the current patterns of distribution must be reviewed and problems related to it need to be clearly understood. This paper introduces 'Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) System', as a potential solution to some of the problems which arise in the process of blood supply distribution, and a way to systematically manage the blood supply. For the various possible RFID systems, the reader and tag must be suitable for the purpose of blood distribution. A database has been designed that can recognize tags and objects in a ubiquitous RFID blood distribution system. In this paper, we design the real-time software to control the RFID reader system and transponder, using the EEPROM memory by RFID. The experimental results confirm that the transmission rate of 3.9kbps for RF is 125 KHz. The electric power usage of transponder chip is $100{\mu}W$, with the recognition distance is about 7cm range.

무선인지(RFID)시스템은 많은 산업 분야에 적용되고 있다. 대표적인 예로써 RFID 시스템을 이용한 출입 관제시스템을 들 수 있으며, 이런 경우 기존의 건물에 이 시스템을 설치하려고 하면 출입문을 개조하여야 한다. 하지만 무선 통신을 이용하면, 리더기에서 호스트 컴퓨터로의 접근이 용이해지므로 출입문 개조에 있어서도 한결 수월해진다. 이 때 필요한 것이 무선 디지털 데이터 통신 기술과 원격지에서 Tag의 ID를 모니터링을 위한 TCP/IP를 이용한 Ethernet 통신이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 시스템의 개발방법에 대해 설명하였으며 RFID 리더기는 125KHz를 사용 주파수로 하고, Tag 칩은 Microchip사의 MCRF 250을 사용하였다. 그리고 무선 데이터 통신을 위해서 CC1020칩을 사용하였으며 이 칩의 장점은 간단히 레지스터를 설정으로 송신 상태 혹은 수신 상태로 변환이 가능하고 또한 주파수 설정도 가능하다는 것이다. 마지막으로 Ethernet 통신을 위해서는 W3100A칩을 이용하였으며, Ethernet 통신에 있어 OS가 차지하는 부분으로 하드웨어를 통해 구현하였다. 실험을 위해 하드웨어를 구성하고 각 모듈별 동작을 분석하고. 각 부분의 파형을 확인하였다.

최근 건설 산업이 고도화, 지능화됨에 따라 건설자재정보의 효율적인 관리방안으로 RFID 기술을 이용하려는 연구 및 적용 사례가 증가 하고 있다. RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)란 라디오 주파수를 이용한 무선인식 기법을 뜻하는 것으로 건설자재에 RFID Transponder(이하 태그)를 부착하여 생산, 유통, 설비 등 전 과정의 정보 추적 및 관리가 가능하다. 그러나 RFID 시스템 특성상 전자기장이 형성되는 철골자재나 수분이 포함된 콘크리트, 도료(안료) 등의 자재에서는 RFID 적용이 쉽지 않다. 또한, 현재 사용 중인 RFID 장비마저도 표준화 되어 있지 않고 사용 주파수 대역 또한 각각 다르기 때문에 건설자재에 적용하기위한 RFID 시스템의 표준화 및 규격화가 절실하다. 본 논문에서는 건설자재에 RFID를 적용하기 위한 표준화 방향을 제시하는 기초 연구로써 목재, 철재 빔, 도료(안료), 콘크리트, 배관자재(철/동/PE)에 Passive Type의 일반(Pager) 태그, 금속 태그, 액체형 태그를 부착 매립하여 125KHz, 13.56MHz, 900MHz의 주파수 대역과 자재 물성별 인식거리 및 인식률 시험을 진행하여 건설자재에 RFID를 적용하기위한 표준 주파수 대역 및 재질에 따른 적정 태그를 제시하고자 한다.

The effect of additives as rare-earth in dielectric materials has been studied to meet the development trend in electronics on the miniaturization with increasing the capacitance of MLCCs (multi-layered ceramic capacitors). It was reported that the addition of rare-earth oxides in dielectrics would contribute to enhance dielectric properties and high temperature stability. Especially, dysprosium and thulium are well known to the representative elements functioned as selective substitution in barium titanate with perovskite structure. The effects of these additives on microstructure and electric properties were studied. The 0.8 mol% Dy doped $BaTiO_3$ and the 1.0 mol% Tm doped $BaTiO_3$ had the highest electric properties as optimized composition, respectively. According to the increase of rare-earth contents, the growth of abnormal grains was suppressed and pyrochlore phase was formed in more than solubility limits. Furthermore, the effect of two rare-earth elements co-doped $BaTiO_3$ on the dielectric properties and insulation resistance was investigated with different concentration. The dielectric specimens with $BaTiO_3-Dy_2O_3-Tm2O_3$ system were prepared by design of experiment for improving the electric properties and sintered at $1320^{\circ}C$ for 2h in a reducing atmosphere. The dielectric properties were evaluated from -55 to $125^{\circ}C$ (at $1KHz{\pm}10%$ and $1.0{\pm}0.2V$) and the insulation resistance was examined at 16V for 2 min. The morphology and crystallinity of the specimens were determined by microstructural and phase analysis.

This paper describes fiber optic voltage sensor using EOM-BSO (Electro-Optic Modulator-Bismuth Silicon Oxcide). Transceiver has an electical/optical converter and an optical/electrical converter which consist of light emitting diode, PIN-PD, and electronic circuits. Multimode fiber cable of $100/140{\mu}m$ core/clad diameter is used for connecting the transceiver to fiber cable and fiber optic voltage sensor. Before our experiments, by applying the Maxwell equations and wave equations, We derive matrix equation on wave propagation in the BSO single crystal. And also we derive optimal equation on intensity modulation arising through an analyzer. According to experi-mental results, fiber optic voltage sensor has maximum $2.5{\%}$ error within the applied AC voltage of 800V. As the applied voltage increases, saturation values of voltage sensor also increase. This phenomenon is caused by optical rotatory power of BSO single crystal. And temperature dependence of sensitivity for fiber optical rotatory power of BSO single crystal. And temperature dependence of sensitivity for fiber optic voltage sensor in the temperature range from$-20^{\circ}C\to\60^{\circ}C$ are measured within ${\pm}0.6{\%}$. And frequency characteristics of the voltage sensor has good frequency characteristics from DC to 100kHz.
