In this paper, we measured inter-floor loss in multifloored building to surround buildings at 910MHz. Effect of interfloor diffraction to propagate through out-surface were smaller than effect of reflection of surrounding buildings. If multifloored building were offered W-PBX service, we will have to design optimization of indoor cell to overcome time delay difference.

This paper presents an advanced RFID reader system implementing multi-protocols and multi-standards at 900MHz. In accordance with the strict regulations specified by ISO 18000-6 B-Type and EPC Global Gen 2, we have designed corresponding systemic factors which meet the domestic radio frequency utilizing bands of 910-914MHz. In addition, we develop numerous crucial factors of system compatibility options including SSB (Single-Side Band) and DSB (Double-Side Band) specifications, also OOK (On-Off Keying), ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying) and PR-ASK (Phase Reversed-Amplitude Shift Keying) modulation formula. Remarkable technical features of system in this paper can be the direct conversion routines using I/Q Modulation/Demodulation respectively, and Full-Duplex formulation operating at identical frequency bands.

A regulated low phase noise differential colpitts VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) for mobile RFID system is presented. The differential colpitts VCO meets the dense reader environment specifications. The VCO use a $0.35{\mu}m$ technology and achieves tuning range $1.55{sim}2.053 GHz$. Measuring 910 MHz frequency divider output, phase noise performance is -106 dBcMz and -135dBc/Hz at 40 kHz and 1MHz offset, respectively. 5-bit digital coarse-tuning and accumulation type MOS varactors allow for 28.2% tuning range, which is required to cover the LO frequency range of a UHF Mobile RFID system, Optimum design techniques ensure low VCO gain(<45 MHz/V) for good interoperability with the frequency synthesizer. To the author' knowledge, this differential colpitts VCO achieves a figure of merit(FOM) of 1.93dB at 2-GHz band.

In this paper, we present a design of meander type microstrip patch antenna which has the best quality in RFID approved international standard of 910MHz broadband, usable in metal environment. In order to be fit into the commercial tag chip on the antenna, a square shaped feeder is installed on the main body as well as in the main body. In addition, a multi meander type patching element was designed in order to reduce the main body effectively. Three antennae, Cases 1, 2 and 3, were designed and compared in the areas of broad band width, effectiveness or recognition distance according to their sizes and number of folds. The measurement result of Case 3 was determined to be the best. It was confirmed that mostly the efficiency and characteristic gain change due to antenna size and number of folds in meander type influenced the antenna recognition distance.

A low-power/small-area 128-point FFT processor is designed, which is based on logarithmic number system (LNS) and some design techniques to minimize both hardware complexity and arithmetic error. The complex-number multiplications and additions/subtractions for FFT computation are implemented with LNS adders and look-up table (LUT) rather than using conventional two's complement multipliers and adders. Our design reduces the gate counts by 21% and the memory size by 16% when compared to the conventional two's complement implementation. Also, the estimated power consumption is reduced by about 18%. The LNS-based FFT processor synthesized with 0.35 ${\mu}m$ CMOS standard cell library has 39,910 gates and 2,880 bits memory. It can compute a 128-point FIT in 2.13 ${\mu}s$ with 60 MHz@2.5V, and has the average SQNR of 40.7 dB.

In this paper, the designed and implemented results of CFL linearization chip which can be used in mobile radio and TRS terminal of UHF band(380~910 MHz), using $0.6\;{\mu}m$ BiCMOS process based on Si, are shown. As gain control circuits for modifying transmit power are inserted not only in feedback path but also in forward path, the stability of CFL is maintained. And, DC-offset correction function of S/H structure, which is suitable for walkie-talkie PTT operation and is easily implemented, is realized. The performance test results of transmitter show that the regulation of FCC emission mask at PEP 3 W(34.8 dBm) is satisfied when the CQPSK modulated signal is fed and more than 30 dBc improvement of 3rd order IMD is achieved when two-tone signal is inputted.

RFID technologies, which allow collecting, storing, processing, and tracking information by wirelessly recognizing the inherent ID of object through an attached electronic tag, have a variety of application areas. This paper presents a novel carrier leakage suppression RF(CLS-RF) front-end for ultra-high-frequency RF identification reader. The proposed reader CLS-RF front-end structure generates the carrier leakage replica through the nonlinear path that contains limiter. The limiting function only preserves the frequency and phase information of the leakage signal and rejects the amplitude modulated tag signal in the envelope. The carrier leakage replica is then injected into the linear path that contains phase shifter. Therefore, the carrier leakage signal is effectively cancelled out, while not affecting the gain of the desired tag backscattering signal. We experimentally confirm that the prototype shows a significant improvement in the leakage to signal ratio by up to 36 dB in 910 MHz, which is consistent with our simulation results.

Wideband terminal and base station is required to serve not only existing 1st and 2nd generation mobile communication systems but also 3rd generation systems. In this paper, we present a feasibility study on coaxial feed compact wideband antenna for UHF RFID reader application. The original antenna was designed for partial discharge detection sensor in high voltage diagnostic system. However, we modified the original prototype to achieve shifted down resonant frequency for wideband wireless communication applications. The experimental result shows good return loss characteristics and radiation patterns except for the total gain at each resonant frequency. The maximum measured gain was 2.45 dBi$\sim$3.18 dBi at 910MHz.

In this paper, we present the design and measurement of a side-fed circularly-polarized patch antenna with a dielectric loading. The antenna consists of a comer-truncated rectangular patch, an L-shaped ground plane, a dielectric loading material, and a coaxial probe. An antenna operating at the UHF band (910 MHz) for the RFID reader applications is optimized using a commercial software. The size of the patch is reduced by a factor of 1.73 by loading the patch with mono-cast(MC) nylon. Measurements of the fabricated antenna show performance characteristics comparable to those of much larger commercial RFID reader antennas.

언제, 어디서나, 누구와도' 통신이 가능하게 한다는 궁극적인 목표를 가지고 통신의 개인화가 연구되고 있으며, 통신 선진국에서는 PCS를 실현하기 위한 PSTN(Public Switching Telephone Network) 접근 방법의 초기 단계로 CT2 (Cordless Telephone 2)의 개발과 시험망 운영을 하고 있거나 이미 서비스를 상용화하고 있다. CT2는 1989년 영국에서 제안되었고 1992년 유럽 표준 (I-ETS 300-131)으로 채택된 후 유럽 각국과 홍콩이나 싱가포르 같은 도시 국가에서 활성화 되어 많은 가입자들이 이용하고 있다. CT2 이용자는 도로, 지하철 혹은 공공 장소에서는 PSTN에 연결된 CT2 기지국에 접속되어 발신 위주의 휴대 전화 서비스를 받을 수 있으며, 가정에서는 우리가 현재 사용하고 있는 무선 전화기와 동일하게 사용할 수 있는 소출력 휴대 전화 서비스로 단말기의 이동성이 어느 정도 실현된 서비스이다. 국내 CT2 사업자는 1993년 12월 체신부로 부터 시범 사업 계획의 승인을 얻어 주파수 대역 910-914 MHz에서 1995년 서울 지역에 서비스 상용화를 목표로 여의도에 시험망 운용과 함께 연구되고 있다. 본 고에서는 CT2 서비스의 일반적인 개요와 특성 그리고 제외국의 CT2 동향을 고찰해봄으로써, CT2는 어떤 서비스이며 CT2의 기술 기준 마련과 무선 인터페이스 측정 및 분석 방법을 연구하는 데 기초로 삼고자 한다.
