A class-E RF(Radio Frequency) power amplifier for wireless application is designed using standard CMOS technology. To drive the class-E power amplifier, a class-F RF power amplifier is used and the reliability characteristics are studied with a class-E load network. The reliability characteristic is improved when a finite-DC feed inductor is used instead of an RF choke with the load. After one year of operating, when the load is an RF choke the output current and voltage of the power amplifier decrease about 17% compared to initial values. But when the load is a finite DC-feed inductor the output current and voltage decrease 9.7%. The S-parameter such as input reflection coefficient(S11) and the forward transmission scattering parameter(S21) is simulated with the stress time. In a finite DC-feed inductor the characteristics of S-parameter are changed slightly compared to an RF-choke inductor. From the simulation results, the class-E power amplifier with a finite DC-feed inductor shows superior reliability characteristics compared to power amplifier using an RF choke.

WiBro radio frequency (RF) repeater is used for solving the problem of partial shadow areas in the wireless communication field that uses time-division duplexing (TDD) mode. In this paper, a method to efficiently generate TDD signals for WiBro RF repeater is proposed and its digital circuit is implemented. A TDD signal is detected from RF signals transmitted/received to/from RF repeater and then inputted again into the RF repeater, so that it can operate normally. First, the envelope of downlink signals is detected and then clamped to extract the basic form of a TDD signal using an operational amplifier circuit. Next, the TDD signal is generated by restoring and filtering the shape which has been distorted by the wireless channel. The algorithm and system to acquire TDD signal are developed with a goal to have simple but powerful functions with as little cost as possible. The proposed method is implemented as an RF-digital integrated system and verified through the experiments under the same condition as actual WiBro service environment.

RF-ID technic will got over not only damage which can be caused by contact ID technic but also worse awareness with the lapse of time. In advance, for subway the fares of mass transportation at rush hours of the days, it's important to find a way to collect fares without unnecessarily delaying passengers. In this paper. we are proposing RF-ID system using the RF Communication Technic and Energy Transformation Technic.

Optical wireless communication, or free space optics, is a promising solution for backhauls in sixth-generation mobile systems. However, the susceptibility of optical links to weather conditions has led to FSO links being furnished with radio frequency (RF) backups. These Hybrid FSO/RF systems provide enhanced link availability but lead to RF resource wastage. Cognitive radio technology, in contrast, is well known for its optimal use of RF resources and may be combined with an FSO link to create a Cognitive Hybrid FSO/RF system. This work uses such a system to analyze a configuration for a mobile backhaul in sixth-generation mobile systems. This configuration can seamlessly coexist with established large scale RF cellular networks. The performance of this configuration is analyzed with respect to outage probability and average bit error by considering the impact of optical channel turbulence, misalignment loss, RF interference, and noise. Mathematical closed-form expressions are verified by simulations.

In this paper, we analyzed RF-DC conversion efficiency for the dual -polarization rectenna and the antenna position changing. Dual-Polarization rectenna consist of a two major parts, receiving antenna and rectifying circuits. We made dual-polarization 2.45GHz rectenna using the two dipole antennas and patch antenna. Rectifying circuit is consisted by a Schottky-Barrier diode with a large forward current and reverse breakdown voltage. The results of RF-DC conversion efficiency for the each of designed dual-polarization rectenna has 69.1% with 360$\Omega$(dipole type) and 75.4% with 340$\Omega$(patch type ) optimum load resistor. When the each of dual-polarization rectenna has optimal load resistor, it's conversion efficiency shows of $\pm$20% in dipole type and $\pm$5 in patch type at 0~180。position.

기존 MIMO 시스템에서는 안테나의 개수가 늘어날수록 선형적으로 RF 모듈의 개수도 늘어나 전체 시스템의 복잡도와 전력소모가 심하다. 이를 해결하기 위해 단일 RF 송신구조가 제안되었고, 본 논문에서는 임피던스를 가변하여 안테나에서 방사되는 패턴을 조절하는 기술을 제안한다. 기존 MIMO 시스템의 RF 회로부가 가지는 복잡도와 전력 효율 문제를 해결하기 위해 임피던스 로딩 부분의 실험시제품 제작 및 검증을 수행한다. BPSK와 QPSK 변조방식을 지원하는 임피던스 로딩 보드를 제작하고, 3 m거리에서 무선 송수신 실험을 성공적으로 수행하였다.

현재 실내 위치 인식 계산 알고리즘과 거리 측정 방법은 놀라울 정도로 다양하다. 그 중 거리를 측정하는 방법으로 마커를 이용한 방법과 RF(Radio Frequency)를 이용한 방법 등 여러 가지 방법들이 제안되었는데 본 논문에서는 사람이 이용하기 쉬운 RF를 이용한 위치 인식 성능 개선에 대해 다루고자 한다. RF 신호가 도달하는 시간을 이용하여 거리를 측정하는 TOA(Time of arrival) 방식을 사용하여 기준점과의 거리를 측정하고, 측정된 거리 값에 가중치를 이용해 장애물에 의한 오차를 보정하였다. 측정된 거리 값을 일정 개수를 모아 최빈값을 이용하여 정확도를 향상 시켰고 이를 통해 실내 좌표를 계산 하였다. 그리고 계산된 좌표 값에 칼만 필터를 적용하여 움직임을 보정하였다. 본 논문에서는 RF를 이용한 위치 인식 알고리즘을 제안하고 보정 전 데이터와 보정 후 데이터를 비교해 비컨 신호의 정확도를 확인하였다.

A new method is presented to design RF filters without the Similarity Transform of their coupling coefficient matrix as circuit parameters which is very tedious due to pivoting and deciding rotation angles needed during the iterations. The transfer function of a filter is directly used for the design and its desired form is derived by the optimized rational-function fitting technique. A 3rd order Coaxial Lowpass filter and an 8th order dual-mode elliptic integral function response filter are taken as an example to validate the proposed method.
