In this paper, the epi layer of npn SOI HBT with n+ buried layer has been studied through Sentaurus process and device simulator. The doping value of the deposited epi layer has been varied for the npn HBT to achieve improved $f_tBV_{CEO}$ product (397 GHzV). As the $BV_{CEO}$ value is higher for low value of epi layer doping, higher supply voltage can be used to increase the $f_t$ value of the HBT. At 1.8 V $V_{CE}$, the $f_tBV_{CEO}$ product of HBT is 465.5 GHzV. Further, the film thickness of the epi layer of the SOI HBT has been scaled for better performance (426.8 GHzV $f_tBV_{CEO}$ product at 1.2 V $V_{CE}$). The addition of this HBT module to fully depleted SOI CMOS technology would provide better solution for realizing wireless circuits and systems for 60 GHz short range communication and 77 GHz automotive radar applications. This SOI HBT together with SOI CMOS has potential for future high performance SOI BiCMOS technology.

본 논문에서는 24~77GHz 대역의 충돌 방지 레이더 센서를 이용한 차량 충돌 방지 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 센서로 부터 측정한 전압을 이용하여 전/후/좌/우의 차량의 접근 정보를 획득하고 이를 효율적으로 이용하여 다양한 상황에 따른 차량충돌방지를 할 수 있도록 구현되어 있다. 제안한 차량 충돌방지 알고리즘은 운행 중인 속도를 기반으로 속도구간별 운행정보를 계산하여 충돌방지를 실행한다. 본 연구에서 구현한 차량 충돌 방지 알고리즘은 차량 주행에서 좌우 차량충돌 없이 효율적으로 운행하는 특성을 보였다.

An X-band $8{\times}16$ dual-polarized active phased array antenna system has been implemented based on the substrate integrated waveguide(SIW) technology having low propagation loss, complete EM shielding, and high power handling characteristics. Compared with the microstrip case, 1 dB less is the measured insertion loss(0.65 dB) of the 16-way SIW power distribution network and doubled(3 dB improved) is the measured radiation efficiency(73 %) of the SIW sub-array($1{\times}16$) antenna element. These significant improvements of the power division loss and the radiation efficiency using the SIW, save more than 30 % of the total power consumption, in the active phased array antenna systems, through substantial reduction of the maximum output power(P1 dB) of the high power amplifiers. Using the X-band $8{\times}16$ dual-polarized active phased array antenna system fabricated by the SIW technology, the main radiation beam has been steered by 0, 5, 9, and 18 degrees in the accuracy of 2 degree maximum deviation by simply generating the theoretical control vectors. Performing thermal cycle and vacuum tests, we have found that the SIW array antenna system be eligible for the space environment qualification. We expect that the high efficiency SIW array antenna system be very effective for high performance radar systems, massive MIMO for 5G mobile systems, and various millimeter-wave systems(60 GHz WPAN, 77 GHz automotive radars, high speed digital transmission systems).
