This paper presents a CMOS impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) receiver implemented using IBM 0.13um CMOS technology for inner/inter-chip wireless interconnection. The IR-UWB receiver is based on the non-coherent architecture which removes the complexity of RF architecture (such as DLL or PLL) and reduces power consumption. The receiver consists of three blocks: a low noise amplifier (LNA) with active balun, a correlator, and a comparator. Simulation results show the die area of the IR-UWB receiver of 0.2mm2, a power gain (S21) of 12.5dB, a noise figure (NF) of 3.05dB, an input return loss (S11) of less than -16.5dB, a conversion gain of 18dB, a NFDSB of 22. The receiver exhibits a third order intercept point (IIP3) of -1.3dBm and consumes 22.9mW of power on the 1.4V power supply.

The majority of Turkey's geography is at risk of earthquakes. Within the borders of Turkey, including the two major active faults contain the North-Eastern and Eastern Anatolia, earthquake, threatening the safety of life and property. On January 24, 2020, an earthquake of magnitude 6.8 occurred at 8:55 p.m. local time. According to the data obtained from the stations in the region, peak ground acceleration in the east-west direction was measured as 0.292 g from the 2308 coded station in Sivrice. It is thought that the earthquake with a magnitude of Mw 6.8 was developed on the Sivrice-Puturge segment of the Eastern Anatolian Fault, which is a left lateral strike slip fault, and the tear developed in an area of 50-55 km. Aftershocks ranging from 0.8 to 5.1 Mw occurred following the main shock on the Eastern Anatolian Fault. The earthquake caused severe structural damages in Elazığ and neighboring provinces. As a result of the field investigations carried out in this study, significant damage levels were observed in the buildings since it did not meet the criteria in the earthquake codes. Within the study's scope, the structural damage cases in reinforced concrete and masonry structures were investigated. Many structural deficiencies and mistakes such as non-ductile details, poor concrete quality, short columns, strong beams-weak columns mechanism, large and heavy overhangs, masonry building damages and inadequate reinforcement arrangements were observed. Requirements of seismic codes are discussed and compared with observed earthquake damage.

On February 6, 2023, Türkiye woke up with a strong ground motion felt in a wide geography. As a result of the Kahramanmaraş, Pazarcık and Elbistan earthquakes, which took place 9 hours apart, there was great destruction and loss of life. The 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes occurred on active faults known to pose a high seismic hazard, but their effects were devastating. Seismic code spectra were investigated in Hatay, Adıyaman and Kahramanmaraş where destruction is high. The study mainly focuses on the investigation of ground motion parameters of 6 February Kahramanmaraş earthquakes and the correlation between ground motion parameters. In addition, earthquakes greater than Mw 5.0 that occurred in Türkiye were compared with certain seismic parameters. As in the strong ground motion studies, seismic energy parameters such as Arias intensity, characteristic intensity, cumulative absolute velocity and specific energy density were determined, especially considering the duration content of the earthquake. Based on the study, it was concluded that the structures were overloaded far beyond their normal design levels. This, coupled with significant vertical seismic components, is a contributing factor to the collapse of many buildings in the area. In the evaluation made on Arias intensity, much more energy (approximately ten times) emerged in Kahramanmaraş earthquakes compared to other Türkiye earthquakes. No good correlation was found between moment magnitude and peak ground accelerations, peak ground velocities, Arias intensities and ground motion durations in Türkiye earthquakes. Both high seismic components and long ground motion durations caused intense energy to be transferred to the structures. No strong correlation was found between ground motion durations and other seismic parameters. There is a strong positive correlation between PGA and seismic energy parameter AI. Kahramanmaraş earthquakes revealed that changes should be made in the Turkish seismic code to predict higher spectral acceleration values, especially in earthquake-prone regions in Türkiye.

본 논문에서는 software defined radio(SDR) 기반의 고속의 다중 모드, 다중 대역을 위한 새로운 six-port 직접변환 수신기를 제안한다. 설계한 수신기는 2개의 CMOS four-port BPSK 수신기와 직교 LO 신호 발생을 위한 이중 대역 1단 polyphase 필터로 구성되어 있다. 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 이용하여 마이크로파 대역에서 처음으로 개발한 four-port 수신기는 두 개의 능동 결합기, 능동 발룬, 두 개의 전력 검출기 및 아날로그 디코더로 구현되어 있다. 제안한 polyphase 필터는 type-I 구조를 선택하였으며, LO 신호의 전력 손실을 줄이기 위하여 1단으로 구현 하였고, 커패시터를 사용하는 것 대신하여 LC 공진구조를 적용하여 이중 대역 동작을 구현하였다. 제안한 sixport 수신기의 RF 가용범위를 확장하기 위하여, six-port junction과 전력 검출기에 I/Q 위상 및 크기를 보정하는 회로를 추가하였다. 제안한 회로에서 위상과 크기 부정합의 보정 범위는 각각 8도와 14 dB이다. 제작한 six-port 수신기는 이중 대역인 900 MHz와 2.4 GHz 대역에서 M-QAM, M-PSK의 40 Msps의 변조 신호를 성공적으로 복조하였다.

본 논문에서는 $0.2\mu\textrm{m}$ GaAs MODFET(modulation doped FET)를 이용하여 제작한 위성방송수신용 고성능 다운컨버터 MMIC에 관해서 보고한다. GaAs 화합물 반도체 기판상에 제작된 본 논문의 고집적 다운컨버터 MMIC는 싱글 밸런스 믹서, IF증폭기, 액티브형 버룬, 그리고 국부 발진기 주파수(LO) 신호의 누설전력 억제용 필터까지 한 칩에 내장하고 있다. 저잡음특성을 실현하기 위해서, 믹서의 소스부에 소스인덕터가 접속된 소스인덕터 피드백 회로형태의 믹서를 이용하였으며, 그 결과 잡음지수 4.8 dB의 초저잡음 다운컨버터 MMIC가 실현되었다. 이는 종래의 위성방송 수신용 다운컨버터 MMIC의 잡음지수보다 3 dB정도 낮은 수치이다. 그리고, 소비전력을 줄이기 위해 믹서에 대해서 저 LO입력 전력 설계를 수행하였고, 그 결과 믹서의 LO신호 입력부에 위치하는 LO 증폭기가 불필요하게 되었다. 이로인해 본 논문의 다운컨버터 MMIC에 대해서 175 mW(동작전압:5V, 소비전류:35mA)의 저소비전력 특성을 얻을 수 있었으며, 이는 종래의 위성방송 수신용 다운컨버터 MMIC의 소비전력의 70%에 해당한다. 더욱이, IF신호 출력단에서의 LO신호 누설전력을 억제하기 위해서, 스파이럴 인덕터 필터가 본 논문의 MMIC에 내장되었다. 그리고, 다운컨버터 MMIC 칩의 면적을 줄이기 위해, 믹서의 입력부의 X밴드 입력정합회로로서 MMIC 패키지 내부의 본딩 와이어를 이용하였다. 그 결과, $0.84{\times}0.9\textrm{mm}^2$의 초소형 MMIC가 제작되었다. 본 논문의 MMIC 칩 면적은 종래의 위성방송 수신용 MMIC의 50%이하이다.
