In this paper, a near zero If mixer was designed in cascode structure by using two single-gate FETs. Since it is driven by the second order harmonic of LO signal, a sub-harmonic cascode FET mixer has good LO-RF port isolation characteristic. In order to solve DC offset of a homodyne system, near zero If is used instead of zero If and the mixer is driven by sub-harmonic of LO signal. As RF input power was -30 dBm and LO power was 6 dBm, the designed mixer had 6.7 dB conversion gain, 8.4 dB noise figure, 31.5 dB LO-RF port isolation, -1.9 dBm lIP3 and -2.8 dBm IIP2.

In this paper, 2.4GHz RF Module using Even Harmonic Mixer(EHM) was designed and fabricated for Direct conversion(DC) system. By minimizing performance degradation of DC system with DC offset and LO radiation, the capability of minimization and one chip solution in wireless system was proposed. The designed EHM using anti-parallel diode pair represented 9dB conversion loss and about -60dBm 2LO leakage radiation in RF port, and output reflection and reverse transmission characteristic of low noise amplifier was improved. So superior DC offset suppression characteristic is expected. RF Module which consists of EHM, LNA, RF amplifier, Frequency synthesizer and Duplexer was designed and fabricated.

3-input neuron-MOSFET inverters and 3-bit D/A converters using enhancement type device have been designed and fabricated by using standard 2-poly CMOS process. The voltage transfer curve and the noise margin of neuron-MOSFET inverters have been measured and characterized as the same method in normal CMOS inverters. From the theoretical calculation of the effects of coupling ratio on the voltage transfer curve and noise margin, we set up the design guideline for the gate oxide thickness and input gate layout in neuron-MOSFET inverters. BT using one of input gates as a control gate, we can design and fabricate the neuron-MOSFET D/A converter without offset voltage.

In this paper, the PLDRO is designed and implemented for X-band. It is comprised of tunable high Q resonator with a varactor diode for frequency tuning, loop filter and a 1/8 prescaler which up to 10GHz.

A theoretical analysis of predicting the detailed motion of a piston-crank mechanism within piston-guide clearance is presented, and the analysis is applied to the piston motion in a gasoline engine. A piston movement program is developed to calculate the piston attitude relative to the bore, the piston to bore impact velocity and kinetic energy loss and the net transverse force acting on the piston. This paper presents the formulation of a set of differential equations governing the transverse and rotational motion of a piston. These equations of motion were solved by well established Runge-Kutta method. As a result of this study, it is possible to predict the effects of piston geometry and piston pin offset on a piston motion and kinetic energy loss.
