In this paper, it is presented a frequency modulated continuous wave radar (FMCW) for distance measurement. The frequency range is $10{\sim}11$ GHz and the sweep time of the signal is 100 ms. The test target is 0.8 m2 of metal plate. The experiment is performed in open ground and the pyramidal horn antenna of about 22 dBi gain is used. The beat frequency according to the target moving to 40 m is measured. There is a good agreement between measured and calculated results. But the resolution of the FMCW radar is not good such as about 10 cm. It is result from the nonlinear signal of voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). To improve the nonlinear characteristic of VCO, a high pass filter and phase locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer are included in the radar system.

This paper describes a new transient voltage suppressor(TVS) with a low insertion loss and a high cut-off frequency to protect antenna circuit from transient voltages. Conventional protection devices have some problems such as a low frequency bandwidth and a high insertion loss. In order to improve these limitations, a coaxal type TVS, which consists of a gas tube is developed. The performance of the proposed transient voltage suppressor is tested by using a combination surge generator specified in IEC 61000-4-5 standard and by using a network analyzer of 40 MHz ${\sim}$ 5 GHz bandwidth. From the experimental results, it is confirmed that the proposed TVS has an enough protection performance in a low insertion loss and a high cut-off frequency.

In this work, tunable capacitors using a finger-type electrode are designed and characterized for frequency-agile RF circuit applications. Their top electrodes with different area and line width are designed in types of the finger for a long conducting perimeter which results in enhanced fringing-electric fields in order to improve their tunability. The tunable varactors were fabricated on a quartz substrate employing a multi-layer dielectric of a para/ferro/para-electric thin film. Compared to the conventional capacitor, finger-type capacitors are characterized in terms of effective capacitance and tunablility. Their effective capacitance and tunability with the long perimeter increase 24~40% and 7~12%, respectively, due to enhanced fringing electric fields from 1 to 2.5 GHz, compared to the conventional ones.

This paper describes a compact printed helical resonator and its application to a microwave oscillator circuit implemented in coplanar waveguide(CPW) technology. The high Q-factor and spurious-free characteristic of the resonator contribute to the phase noise reduction and the harmonic suppression of the resulting oscillator circuit, respectively. The designed resonator resonating at the frequency of 5.5 GHz showed a loaded Q of 180 in a chip area of only 40 % of the corresponding miniaturized hairpin resonator without any spurious resonances. The fully planar oscillator incorporated with this resonator showed additional phase noise reduction of 10.5 dB at 1 MHz offset and a second harmonic suppression enhancement of 6 dB when compared to those of a conventional CPW oscillator without the planar helical resonator(PHR) structure.

현재 Passive component 중의 하나인 트랜스포머의 소형화가 큰 이슈로 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기판의 와전류 효과의 영향을 줄이기 위해 LTCC기판을 이용하여 트랜스포머를 설계하고, 1:1 및 1:n의 권선 수를 갖는 두 코일의 인덕턴스 및 상호 인덕턴스를 시뮬레이션 하였다. 트랜스포머의 최대 크기는 2.55mm $\times$ 1.1 mm 이고 선폭은 50um 선간 간격은 50um이고, 기둥의 높이는 40um이다. MEMS 기술을 사용하여 기판 커플링과 저항손을 줄임으로서 8.5GHz 에서 0.33dB의 낮은 삽입 손실을 나타냈다.

Tera 대역으로 일반적으로 여겨지는 300 ~ 3000GHz 대역을 이용하여 무선 근거리 개인 영역 통신 (WPAN) 에서 20~40Gbps 급의 데이터 통신을 하기 위한 국제 표준화가 현재 IEEE802.15표준화 그룹에서 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 표준화의 진행 상항과 더불어 테라 대역의 주파수 할당, 물리계층에서 테라 대역을 이용하여 WPAN이 가능하기 위한 요소 기술로서 빔포밍 기법에 대하여 정리한다. 주파수 할당은 비허가 주파수 대역의 가능성 여부 및 시기 등에 대하여 지난 수년간 테라 대역과 관련되어 ITU에서 발표된 문서들을 요약한다. 테라 대역에서 WPAN을 위한 물리계층의 요소 기술로서는 테라 대역의 주파수 특성인 전파의 직진성 및 거리에 따른 전력 감쇄를 극복하기 위하여 저전력 빔포밍 기술에 대하여 소개한다. 본 논문은 향후 약 5년 후에 표준화가 완성될 것으로 예상되는 시점에서 국내의 통신 관련 연구자에게 초고속 데이터 통신을 가능하기 위한 테라 대역 WPAN시스템을 준비하는데 있어서 유용한 자료로서 사용될 수 있을 것이라 여겨진다.

Millimeter wave communication is one of the main disruptive technologies in upcoming 5G mobile networks. One of the first candidate applications, which will be commercially ready by 2020, is wireless backhaul links or wireless last mile communication. This paper provides an analysis of this use-case from radio engineering and implementation perspectives. Furthermore, preliminary experimental results are shown for a proof-of-concept wireless backhaul solution developed within the EU-KR 5GCHAMPION project, which will be showcased during the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Korea. In this paper, we verify system level calculations and a theoretical link budget analysis with conductive and radiated over-the-air measurements. The results indicate that the implemented radio solution is able to achieve the target key performance indicator, namely, a 2.5 Gbps data rate on average, over a range of up to 200 m.

The design and optimization of amplifier was achieved by the commercial CAD program TOUCHSTONE and the measurement was performed through the automatic network analyzer.

무선 캡슐형 내시경 시스템 설계를 위하여 인체내부에서 표면까지의 전송손실을 $0.001{\sim}2$ GHz대역에 대하여 분석하였다. 실제 인체구조 모델에 안테나를 적용하여 계산결과를 얻은 기존 연구와 달리 인체내 매질의 평균적 특성을 갖는 균일 매질로 가정하여 안테나의 Q와 효율을 계산하였다. 계산 결과 40MHz의 HPBW(Half-Power Bandwidth), 5mm반경 크기의 송신안테나, 15un거리에 대하여 $400{\sim}600$MHz 사이에서 -58dB가량의 최적 손실이 예상되었다. 분석된 손실 결과를 바탕으로 450MHz에서 무선 캡슐형 내시경 시스템이 설계 및 제작되었고 실제 유사매질용액에서 실험결과 15cm/10cm거리에서 -62/-5ldB의 손실을 보였으며 동물실험에서는 돼지 체내외간 10cm가량의 거리에 대해 약 -56dB의 손실이 측정되었다.

This paper presents a front-end electronic circuits for signal detection on multi-gap resistive plate. The input to the circuit is the signal(voltage : -800mv, frequency : 20${\sim}$40MHZ, noise : 50mv, 1GHz) from the multi-gap resistive plate chamber and the output is the 5v pulse signal. The front-end electronic circuit consists of preamplifier, peak-detector, and comparator. Spice simulation show that the circuit has the better response time than the one of the conventional measuring instruments.
