The increase of vehicles stagnations leads to the increasing attention to the way customers pay and a large number of projects on electronic cash system. Tranport system is comprised of a number of advanced technologies, including information processing, communications, control, and electronics. Recently many research on a system which provides contact in order to protect driver's vehicle passage have been carried out. And some potential problems from that system are being reviewed by electronic cash system. In this papers, we suggest RF protocol developing technology using the concept of electronic cash. ATM electronic cash developing is consist of component of pre-developed coin throw, integration of component using its, and production of more requirement-satisfactory ITS solution. Result increase 15$\sim$40% pre-type vehicles stagnations. Especially, we expect this proposed concept would be well adapted to our national environments.

The pad pitch of modern radio frequency integrated circuits is in the order of few tens of micrometers. Connecting a large number of high-speed I/Os to the outside world with good signal fidelity at low cost is an extremely challenging task. To cope with this requirement, we need reflection-free transmission lines from an on-chip pad to on-board SMA connectors. Such a transmission line is very hard to design due to the difference in on-chip and on-board feature size and the requirement for extremely large bandwidth. In this paper, we propose the use of narrow tracks close to chip and wide tracks away from the chip. This narrow-to-wide transition in width results in impedance discontinuity. A step change in substrate thickness is utilized to cancel the effect of the width discontinuity, thus achieving a reflection-free microstrip. To verify the concept, several microstrips were designed on multilayer FR4 PCB without any additional manufacturing steps. The TDR measurements reveal that the impedance variation is less than 3 ${\Omega}$ for a 50 ${\Omega}$ microstrip and S11 better than -9 dB for the frequency range 1 GHz to 6 GHz when the width changes from 165 ${\mu}m$ to 940 ${\mu}m$, and substrate thickness changes from 100 ${\mu}m$ to 500 ${\mu}m$.

We propose a switched beam-forming antenna that satisfies not only ultra-wideband characteristics but also beam-forming in the WLAN frequency band using an ultra-wideband antenna and passive parasitic elements applying a broadband optimal reactance load algorithm. We design a power and phase estimation function and an error correction function by re-analyzing and normalizing all the components of the parasitic array using control system engineering. The proposed antenna is compared with an antenna with a pin diode and reactance load value, respectively. The pin diode is located between the passive parasitic elements and ground plane. An antenna beam can be formed in eight directions according to the pin diode ON (reflector)/OFF (director) state. The antenna with a reactance load value achieves a better VSWR and gain than the antenna with a pin diode. We confirm that a beam is formed in eight directions owing to the RF switch operation, and the measured peak gain is 7 dBi at 2.45 GHz and 10 dBi at 5.8 GHz.

Low-noise amplifier(LNA) is a component that amplifies the signal while lowering the noise figure of high-frequency signal. LNA holds a very important position in RF system so that it is widely used for telecommunication. Electro static discharge(ESD) is the most common cause of malfunction for low-powered components, such as Large Scale Integration and IC type LNA is weak in ESD. This thesis studies static effect of communication LNA. It analyzes ESD effect, which occurs within LNA circuit, and describes testing standard and methods. In order to find out LNA's susceptiblity to electro static, two well-recognized communication IC type LNA models were selected to be tested. Then static-induced malfunction was carefully analyzed and it suggests architectural problem and improvement from the LNA's ESD point of view.

Smart metering systems have become widespread around the world. RF mesh communication systems have contributed to the creation of smarter and more reliable power systems. This paper presents an algorithm for positioning GPRS concentrators to attain delay constraints for a ZigBee-based mesh network. The proposed algorithm determines the number and placement of concentrators using integer linear programming and a queueing model for the given mesh network. The solutions given by the proposed algorithm are validated by verifying the communication network performance through simulations.

본 논문에서는 software defined radio(SDR) 등의 디지털 RF/IF(Intermediate Frequency)에 사용되는 CIC 필터의 처짐 현상을 위한 보상 필터를 제안한다. 제안된 보상 필터는 근사적 선형 위상 특성을 가지며, interpolator/decimator의 기저 대역에서 가장 낮은 레이트로 동작하는 2차의 필터이므로 저연산량을 요구하므로 비용 효율적이다. 또한 처짐 현상을 보상하면서도 저지대역에서는 성능 열화가 거의 발생하지 않는다 예제를 통한 설계 및 성능 분석 결과, 제안된 보상 방법을 적용한 통신 시스템에 있어서 성능 향상을 보였고, 기존의 보상 방법과 비교하여 성능 및 메모리 사용량, 연산량에서 우수함을 보였다.

최근 세라믹 칩 부품과 모듈등의 통신 부품에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 가운데 내장형 수동소자를 이용한 세라믹 3차원 모듈 개발에 관한 연구가 많은 연구 그룹에서 진행되고 있다. LTCC 시스템은 가격이 저렴하고 공정이 안정적이고 전기적 특성에서도 손실값이 작은점등의 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 전기적 특성은 사용하는 재료의 물성에 직접적인 영향을 받게 된다. 사용 재료는 크게 도체와 유전체로 나뉘어질 수 있으며 특히 도체의 특성이 설계된 패턴에 의한 소자 특성에 큰 영향을 주게 된다. 본 연구에서는 금속 함량과 금속 입자 크기를 변화시킨 도체 페이스트를 직접 제작하고 스트립라인 레조네이터에 적용되었을 때의 6 ㎓ 까지의 고주파 특성을 비교 분석하였다.

최근 전자기기의 경박단소화 추세는 전자기기의 크기와 가격의 감소를 이끌었으며 이러한 추세는 앞으로 지속될 것이다. 이와 같은 현상으로 전자기기를 구성하는 요소의 절반이상을 차지하는 단위수동소자의 경우 소형화를 넘어 박막화 및 집적화가 절실히 요구되는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 현재 GHz 대역의 휴대용 무선통신 송 수신부 등에 사용되고 있는 기판이 $Al_2O_3$ 기판인 점을 고려하여 기판의 공통화를 위해 $Al_2O_3$ 기판 위에 Ta/$Ta_2O_5$/Ta 구조를 갖는 MIM 박막커패시터를 제작하여 그 특성을 고찰하였다. 모든 박막의 증착은 RF-magnetron reactive sputtering법에 의해 이루어졌으며, 유전체 열처리는 $700^{\circ}C$ 진공상태에서 60 sec 동안 수행하였다. XRD 분석결과, as-deposited $Ta_2O_5$ 박막은 열처리 후에 비정질상에서 결정질상으로 변환되었다. Ta/$Ta_2O_5$/Ta/Ti/$Al_2O_3$ 커패시터의 전기적 특성으로는 C-F, C-V, I-V 를 측정하였다.

This study is to solve problems of depletion of RF bandwidth frequency, confusion possibility, security that current wireless communications system have and is to confirm possibility of applying next generation network. To solve problems of current wireless communications system, visible light communications system for power line communications using ATmega16 Microcontroller is was realized and receiver property was analyzed. PLC exclusive chip APLC-485MA, Microcontroller ATmega16, 5pi bulb type LED and high flux LED, visible light receiving sensor LLS08-A1 were used for transmitter and receiver. Performance was analyzed by designed program and an oscilloscope. It was showed average 20% improved receiver rate rather than bulb type LED in the case of high flux LED through voltage change rate on communication distance and LED type of distance between 10 to 50 cm. The blue LED showed the best performance among measured LED types with above 10% of voltage decreasing rate. But As it gradually becomes more distant, the precise date was difficult to obtain due to weak light. To overcome these sort of problems, specific values such as changing conditions and efficiency value relevant to light emitting parts and visible light receiving sensor should be calculated and continuous study and improvements should also be accomplished for the better communications condition.

The $high-T_c$ Superconducting(HTS) antenna which consists of "H" type resonator has the benefits for the miniaturization of antenna in comparison with the microstrip antenna of the similar dimension. To fabricate the "H" type antenna HTS $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$(YBCO) thin films were deposited on MgO substrates using rf-magnetron sputtering. Standard etching processes were performed for the patterning of the "H" type antenna. For comparison between normal conducting antennas and superconducting antennas, the gold antennas with the same dimension were also fabricated. An aperture coupling was used for impedance matching between $50\Omega$ feed line and HTS radiating patch. The diverse experimental results were reported in terms of the resonant frequency, the return loss and the characteristics impedance. The "H" type superconducting antenna showed the performance of 1.36 in SWR, 24 % in efficiency, and 14.6 dB in the return loss superior to the normal conducting counterpart.
