In this paper, we have designed and fabricated a wide-band and high gain antenna which can integrate a standard of IEEE 802.1la$(5.15\sim5.25\;GHz,\;5.25\sim5.35\;GHz,\;5.725\sim5.825\;GHz)$. We inserted a parallel dual slot into a rectangular patch to have wide-band, and we offset an element of capacitance from the slot by using coaxial probe feeding method. We also designed a converter of $\lambda_g/4$ impedance with taper type line so that wide-band impedance can be matched easily. We finally designed structure with $2\times2$ array in order to improve the antenna gain, and the final fabricated antenna could have a good return loss(Return loss$\leq$-10 dB) and a high gain(over 13 dBi) at the range of $5.01\sim5.95\;GHz(B/W\doteqdot940\;MHz)$.

This paper suggests an improved system-level model of RF power amplifiers(PAs) including memory effects, and validates the suggested model by analyzing the power spectral density of the output signal with a predistortion linearizer. The original three-box(Wiener-Hammerstein) model uses input and output filters to capture RF frequency response of PAs. The adjacent spectral regrowth that occurs in three-box model can be perfectly removed by Hammerstein structure predistorter. However, the predistorter based on Hammerstein structure achieves limited performance in real PA applications due to other memory effects except RF frequency response. The spectrum of the output signal can be predicted accurately using the suggested model that changes a memoryless block in a three-box model with a memory polynomial. The proposed model accurately predicts the output spectrum density of PA with Hammerstein structure predistorter with less than 2 dB errors over ${\pm}30$ MHz adjacent channel ranges for IEEE 802.11 g WLAN signal.

This paper proposes a communication distance performance evaluation method for mobility of service robots equipped with a Wi-Fi module. Service robots have function of mobile communication system according to classified services and utilize a (preferred) communication method, wireless lan(IEEE802.11 a/b/gin) communication method of ISM band(2.4GHz and 5.8GHz). For evaluating degradation performance of wireless data for the service robot's mobility. We measured and presented reference vectors obtained by utilizing a distance attenuation correlation method in the real world environment. To evaluate performance of the proposed method, path loss of reference vectors was assigned to the Azimuth 301W and then transmission rate and the transmit throughput of the test sample were measured by the Chariot. The proposed measurement method is necessary for securing wireless LAN communication distance for mobility of mobile smart device and service robots. In addition, if the proposed measurement method os adopted, It would be expected that mobile smart device vendors would utilize the method as an effective wireless LAN mobility communication distance performance evaluation method.

A mesh node, a component of a mesh network, is connected with the network by dynamic routing using routing protocol and collects the information of adjacent or connected mesh nodes for its self-management and settings. Also, it relays packets between the mesh nodes and provides AP(Access Point) with its corresponding functions based on IEEE 802.11 a/b/g for clients' access to the network. In this paper, the study focused on the design and performance tests of Wireless Mesh Network(WMN) which is applied to the wireless communication network for the CBTC(Communications Based Train Control) system. The WMN was established on a K-AGT test-line (Kyeongsan city, Gyeongsangbuk-do), and to verify the applicability, its operation and performances are checked by measuring the data throughput, delay latency, quality measurements such as transmission loss, radio interference and path recovery and setup between the on-board and wayside.

This letter presents a high performance 2.4 GHz two-stage power amplifier (PA) operating in the temperature range from $-30^{\circ}C$ to $+85^{\circ}C$ for IEEE 802.11g, wireless local area network application. It is implemented in InGaP/GaAs hetero-junction bipolar transistor technology and has a bias circuit employing a temperature compensation technique for error vector magnitude (EVM) performance. The technique uses a resistor made with a base layer of HBT. The design improves EVM performance in cold temperatures by increasing current. The implemented PA has a dynamic EVM of less than 4%, a gain of over 26 dB, and a current less than 130 mA below the output power of 19 dBm across the temperature range from $-30^{\circ}C$ to $+85^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, we review the four receiver architectures and four methods for multi-standard receiver design. Propose reconfigurable RF block can be used for both low-IF and direct conversion architecture. Also, using reconfigurable mixer method, it can be operated at $2{\sim}6$ GHz range for multi-standard receiver. It consists of wideband mixer, filter, and automatic gain control amplifier and to get wide-band operation, $2{\sim}6$ GHz, wide-band mixer use flexible input matching method. Besides, to design multi-standard receiver, LNA bank that support each standard is necessary and it has good performance to compensate the performance of wide-band mixer. Finally, we design and simulate proposed reconfigurable RF block and to prove that it has acceptable performances for various wireless standards, the LNA bank that supports both IEEE 802.11a/b/g and WCDMA is also designed and simulated with it.

무선 메쉬 네트워크(WMN, Wireless Mesh Network)에서의 전체적인 성능은 채널의 간섭을 최소화함으로써 개선될 수 있다. 본 논문은 3개의 멀티 채널을 지원하는 IEEE 802.11b/g 기반 WMNs를 위해 제안된 클러스터 기반 채널 할당 기법인 CB-CA(Cluster-Based Channel Assignment)[3] 알고리즘을 멀티 라디오 멀티 채널 WMN 환경에 적합하게 개선시키고자 한다. CB-CA 알고리즘에서는 메쉬 라우터들중에 선택된 클러스터 헤드(CH, Cluster Head) 노드들과 클러스터들 간의 에지 게이트웨이(EG, Edge Gateway) 노드들 간에는 모두 동일 채널을 사용함으로써 채널 스캐닝과 채널 스위칭을 수행하지 않는다. 그러나 이러한 모든 CH들과 EG들 간의 동일 채널의 사용은 많은 노드들에서 채널 간섭을 발생 시키는 문제점이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위하여 송수신 인터페이스를 구분하고 각 인터페이스에서의 채널을 랜덤하게 설정하고 이를 통신 범위 내에 인접한 이웃 클러스터들에게 알림으로써 서로 간섭이 발생하지 않는 채널들이 설정되도록 한다. 이로써 각 클러스터 간의 채널 간섭을 최소화 할 수 있음과 동시에 다중 인터페이스와 다중 채널을 모두 활용할 수 있어서 QoS를 향상시킬 수있다.
