In this paper, we developed an intelligent and wideband RF-receiver module to represent a high dynamic range and good linearity characteristics up to 650MHz-2700MHz frequency band. and implemented an intelligent digital-RF- distorted signal measuring system for the RF distortion (intermodulation) signals. Broadband RF-receive module was designed to represent the optimized linear parameters of the receiver to meet the low noise and wide dynamic range. The designed intelligent digital-distortion(intermodulation) signal measument system measured by applying the 1MHz IF of third intermodulation signal of DUT and Measured data was recorded by program on the PC monitor with GUI interface. By variable up to 650MHz-2700MHz measured data showed up to -127.8dBc to -138dBc of the distortion (intermodulation) signal. And developed intelligent digital- distortion signal measurement system can be used to measure intermodulation distortion signal of wireless system widely.

We fabricate PIN PD (Positive Intrinsic Negative Photo-Diode) for CWDM optical repeater and optical transmission system, and analyze theoretically the characteristics to verify the capability of device fabricated. Furthermore, we integrate CWDM filter into PD package to enhance the cost and the performance when compared to the conventional system, in which CWDM filter and PD package are linked by optical fusion splicing. The integrated CWDM PD is fabricated by three steps as follows: CWDM filter design, PD packaging, and product assembly and test. The results of measurement for PD fabricated reveal 0.5 dB bandwidth of 17 nm, isolation over 60 dB at transmission port and over 20 dB at reflection port. Also, the IMD3 for wireless communication is over 63 dBc, and the responsivity of PD presents over 0.9 A/W for 20 samples of the total 23 PD. The total insertion loss reduces about 0.4${\~}$0.7 dB due to the integrated assembly of CWDM and PD.

This paper introduces and applies the World Bank's methodology for constructing composite index or aggregating indicators. After recalculating the world competitiveness index of IMD using Unobserved Component Model(UCM) we compare it with the existing index and try to find some implications. We also try to construct the composite index for measuring the performance of local finance. We employ the Principal Component Analysis(PCA) for validating the appropriateness of selected indicators used in making the composite index. We found that the UCM and PCA are very useful and will be used widely in various evaluations such as regional development, local finance, local competitiveness and public enterprise, etc.

In this paper, a new design method of asymmetrical configuration of main amplifier and peaking amplifier using changed bias point is proposed for excellent linearity, instead of the conventional Doherty structure. We have utilized the uneven wilkinson power divider for the unequal power drive at the input network of amplifiers. And we proposed a compensating method of the decreasing efficiency due to improving linearity using 3-stage Doherty structures. From the simulation results of asymmetrical Dohertry power amplifier and asymmetrical 3-stage Doherty power amplifier with uneven power drive are implemented. From the implementation and measurement results of the each amplifier, IMD characteristics have -55 dBc as the good efficiency of 13% compensates the decreased entire efficiency due to the improving linearity characteristics.

In this paper, a new predistorter controlling modified individual order jntermodulation distortion signals is proposed. The proposed predistorter generates and controls predistorted third and high order IM signals independently. Using predistorted signals, jntermodulation distortion signals of power amplifier are suppressed effectively. The predistortion linearizer has been implemented to operate in Korean PCS basestation transmitting band (1840～1870MHz). The test results show that IMD3 and IMD5 (C/I) of power amplifier are improved more than 40dB and 23dB for CW two tone signals, respectively. The predistorter improves the adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) more than 10dB at 885KHz offset point for CDMA (IS-95) signals.

This paper presents a feedforward linear power amplifier (LPA) using error feedback technique to achieve low intermodulation distortions(IMD) of power amplifiers for base stations. Especially, the proposed linear power amplifier is applied to feedforward technique combined with error feedback technique, which has no loss of amplifier gain unlike typical feedback technique. The proposed LPA is designed by using HP ADS ver. 1.3, fabricated. When two-tone signals at 1850 MHz and 1851.25 MHz with -7 dBm/tone from synthesizers are injected into the main power amplifier with gain of 28 dB and P1dB of 1W, the proposed LPA could reduce more than 35 dB.

Telecommand & telemetry control equipment is needed for the testing of the transponders during the development of satellite. This equipment must have a loopback function to perform the self testing without satellite. The fabrication of the designed system is easier and cheaper than the conventional testing system using direct modulation method. The measured results of fabricated equipment are satisfied with required specifications. A overall path loss of uplink and downlink is 47.8 dB and 42.6 dB, respectively. Also, IMD3 of uplink has measured 60.68 dBc at an output of -50 dBm.

Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) 공정은 deep 서브마이크론 집적회로의 다층배선구조률 실현하기 위해 inter-metal dielectric (IMD), inter-layer dielectric layers (ILD), pre-metal dielectric (PMD) 층과 같은 절연막 외에도 W, Al, Cu와 같은 금속층을 평탄화 하는데 효과적으로 사용되고 있으며, 다양한 소자 제작 및 새로운 물질 등에도 광범위하게 응용되고 있다. 하지만 Cu damascene 구조 제작으로 인한 CMP 응용 과정에서, 기계적으로 깨지기 쉬운 65 nm의 소자 이하의 구조에서 새로운 저유전상수인 low-k 물질의 도입으로 인해 낮은 하력의 기계적 연마가 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 전기화학적 기계적 연마 적용을 위해, I-V 특성 곡선을 이용하여 active, passive, transient, trans-passive 영역의 전기화학적 특성을 알아보았으며, Cu 막의 표면 형상을 알아보기 위해 scanning electron microscopy (SEM) 측정과 energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) 분석을 통해 금속 화학적 조성을 조사하였다.

In this paper, a highly linear self oscillating mixers(SOM) using second harmonic injections are presented. The H-slot defected ground structure(DGS) is designed as a balanced resonator for oscillation in the proposed SOM. Since the H-slot DGS resonator achieves a high Q factor, it is a suitable structure to provide low phase noise for the oscillator. The single balanced mixer is utilized in this work and it provides good LO-RF isolation since balanced LO signals are suppressed at the RF input port. In order to inject the second harmonic of the IF, we propose two different methods using feedback loops. In the first method, IF achieves a 3.08 dB conversion gain at 226 MHz with input power of -20 dBm at 5 GHz RF input signal. The IF achieves 2 dB conversion gain at 423 MHz with the input power of -20 dBm at 5.2 GHz RF input signal in the second method. The measured IMD3s are 61.8 dB and 65 dB for the each method. These SOMs present improved linearity compared to that without the second harmonic injection because IMD3s are improved by 18. dB and 21 dB for each method.
