일반적인 CMOS공정으로는 높은 주파수 대역에서 높은 Q factor를 갖는 인덕터를 구현하는데 어렵고 이에 반해 RF ICs는 갈수록 high Q 를 가지는 인덕터가 요구되고 있다. 이를 LTCC 기판 위에 인덕터를 구현했을 때 높은 주파수 대역에서 성능을 알아보기 위해 모의 실험하였다. 인덕터를 설계하는데 있어서 인덕터 코일의 폭, 코일의 두께와 간격이 인덕터의 성능을 결정짓는다는 것을 고려하였고, MEMS 공정을 이용하여 high Q를 갖는 인덕터를 설계하였다. 인덕터의 전체 크기는 $330{\mu}m\;{\times}\;330{\mu}m$에서 선폭은 $30{\mu}m$, 선간의 간격은 $20{\mu}m$로 기판위에 $80{\mu}m$ 높이로 인덕터를 띄어서 설계하였고, 그리고 이를 LTCC 기판위에 high Q 의 인덕터 구현을 위해 simulation 한 결과가 Q값이 50 정도의 크기를 나타냈다.

Microwave dielectric properties of CaTiO3 and CaTiO3-TiO2 ceramics for the composition range between 40 and 50 mol% CaO in CaO-TiO2 binary system were investigated. CaTiO3 ceramics with50 mol% CaO showed the dielectric constant (e,) of 178, the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency(c,) of+1000 ppm/'c and the qualify factor Q of 2760 (f0=2.7 GHz ). Dielectric constant and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency of ceramics with dual phases of CaTiO3 and TiO2 decreased gradually from those of CaTiO3 as the CaO content decreased. Q value and density were found to have minimum at the composition of 47 mol% CaO. The degradation of Q value and density in dual phase ceramics seems to be caused by the large pores at grain boundaries and/or within grains remained after rapid growth of CaTiO3 grains as TiO2 Phase decreased.

In this paper, we designed a spiral inductor and voltage controlled oscillator with the negative resistor for the bluetooth receiver by using 0.25$\mu\textrm{m}$ 1-poly 5-metal CMOS n-well process. The proposed inductor, which applies multi layer metal structure, is a structure that decreases resistance value by increasing he metal thickness. As the resistance value decreases, the quality factor Q has improved. Also, voltage-controlled oscillator is designed applying 1 port negative resistance, and changes its oscillating frequency by varying outside capacitor values. The simulation results show that oscillating frequency is 2.33~2.58GHz changing from 2pF to 14pF, and the oscillator has oscillating power over 0dBm.

In this paper, a 3-D EM simulation methodology for on-chip spiral inductor analysis has provided and it is shown that the methodology can be adapted to the highly predictable design for CMOS VCO. LC-resonator type VCO have fabricated by using standard 0.25 um CMOS process. And the LC VCO layout case which has pattern ground shielded inductors and the other layout case which has no pattern grounded inductors were fabricated for the verification of their effects on the VCO's phase noise by reducing the Q-factor of inductors. Fabricated VCO has 3.094 GHz, -12.15 dBm output at the tuning voltage of 2.5 V, and from the simulation, Q-factor of the pattern grounded inductor has increased 8% at 3 GHz, and from the measurement results, the phase noise has reduced by 9 dB at the 3 MHz off-set frequency for the pattern grounded inductor layout case.

Recently, RF inductor having researched by many workers, we fabricated and investigated properties of RF inductors. In order to improve the Q-factor (Quality), we try to apply the patterned Fe$_{78.81}$Ta$_{8.47}$N$_{12.71}$ soft magnetic thin film of 5000 which shows magnetic anisotropy of 30 Oe. Thus, patterned magnetic film was artificially increased magnetic anisotropy lead to increasing of ferro-magnetic resonance frequency up to GHz band. Coil as part of inductor was fabricated by lift off process. The dimension of RF inductor was designed 47un, rectangular shape, and measured properties. In the case of Ti/Ag air core type inductor shows Q of 9, inductance of 8.4 nH at 2 GHz. Magnetic film employed inductor shows inductance of 9 nH and FMR resonance frequency was 700 MHz.

A very small size 2.4 GHz ISM band BPF(Band Pass Filter) is realized using LTCC Multi-layer technology. Proposed design method enables to achieve BPF size $2.0\times1.2\times0.8mm^3$. A $lambda/4$ resonator with shunt-to-ground loaded capacitor is used to shorten resonator length, achieving higher quality factor. Also this resonator enables BPF to improve out-of-band rejection. Coupling coefficients between coupled strip-line resonators and external quality factor (Qe) of a resonator are derived and applied to the filter design. The measured results show good agreement with simulated data.

In this paper, dynamic elastic module of banded gneiss were calculated on the basis of SPS velocity logging data obtained from a geotechnical test-hole in Pungsan-dong, Hanam, Gyeonggi Province, Korea. This study mainly focuses on the velocity analysis, Q factor calculation relative to attenuation factor, and generation of crack information and its relation with seismic velocity. As a result, P-wave and S-wave velocity of fresh hard rock was 5,559m/s and 3,063m/s, respectively, with Poisson's ratio being 0.28. With these results, dynamic modules were prepared, and crack information analyzed by acoustic televiewer was incorporated to identify the correlation among and between delay of first arrival by crack amplitude ratio, and velocity. The results of this study revealed that the analyzed logging hole mainly consisted of micro crack and a number of cracks and the size of crack aperture, functioned as a variable to seismic velocity in the micro crack area of this type of hard rock.

In this paper, ferrite-core loop antenna for portable radio receiver is designed and its characteristics are analyzed. Antenna is fabricated by inserting the ferrite core inside the planar conductor loop$(10{\times}6{\times}15mm^3)$. Bandwidth and Q factor of fabricated antenna measure 0.55 MHz and 280, respectively. These results show remarkable enhancement compared to the conventional loop antenna having the same physical dimension(BW=1.9MHz, Q=8.14). Experimental results show that the relative gain of the fabricated antenna is about 11 dB higher than that of the conventional antenna.

In this paper, a new technique to reduce the phase noise in microwave oscillators is proposed using the resonant characteristics of the Photonic Bandgap(PBG). We applied PBG structure to ground of the microstrip line resonator with the low Q(Quality factor). Therefore, we improved about 10 dBc in contrast to phase noise characteristic of the conventional microstrip line oscillator at 2.4 GHz ＠ 100 MHz offset. Output power is 7.09 dBm.

Propagation constants for TMon and TEon modes in a circular waveguide with a ring type dielectri are computed using the numerical analysis when the width of dielectric is varied regularly. This structure can be applied to the supporter to make improve the Q-factor of dielectric resonators, and the results of numerical calculation can be used to design the slow wave structures. Also, the numerical analysis in this paper can be used to determine the resonant frequencies in dielectric resonators.
