This paper proposes a new approach to provide RF communication channel and electric power transmission to overcome the weakness of conventional tests, which may cause several problems. When an RF communication device is used to communicate between launch vehicle and launch complex in stead of using harness umbilical, it may draw the simplicity of ground test equipments, cost-saving, and the reduction of test time. In addition, if an RF power transmission device is adopted to supply on-board power of launch vehicle, it can replace expensive on-board batteries, which may be degraded easily by the repeated charging and discharging processes.

TWTA is to perform the function that amplifies the input RF signal and outputs it to the antenna. This paper proposes a method that is to improve the cathode ripple or the SHF TWTA for satellite communications. Through the embodiment and experiment of 600W SHF TWTA, this method satisfies the design specifications. Also, RF performance is improved by reducing the noise of auxiliary power sources supplied to the RF part and eliminating the unexpected noise. Therefore, this method is very effective and can be used to develop the similar equipments.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 다양한 위치 기반 서비스(LBS)를 위해 객체 위치 인식은 필수적인 기술이다. 객체의 위치를 판별하기 위해서 GPS 시스템, 다수의 RF 신호 세기를 이용한 시스템이 이용되고 있다. GPS 시스템의 경우 고가의 수신기가 필요하며 실내 측위 환경에서 활용될 수 없으며, RF 신호를 이용한 위치 인식 시스템의 경우 빠른 신호 속도와 페이딩의 영향으로 충분한 신호의 해상도확보하기 어렵다. 하지만 상대적으로 느린 초음파를 이용한 경우 신호의 해상도가 높아 RF 기반 위치 측위 시스템보다 높은 정확도의 위치 인식이 가능하다. 초음파를 이용한 위치 인식 기술은 RF 통신을 통해 해당 초음파의 정보를 식별하고, 초음파와 RF 신호의 도달 시간의 차를 이용해 위치를 판별한다. 본 논문에서는 초음파 신호 부호화 기법을 통해 RF 통신 모듈 없이 다중 객체의 위치를 인식하는 시스템을 설계하고 구현한다.

In this paper, we developed a wideband PIMD system to measure passive intermodulation distortion signals of mobile communication RF passive module. To represent wideband characteristic, we designed a receiver that meets low-noise and wideband characteristics in RF receiver. It allows high dynamic range in the RF receiver front end. In designed passive intermodulation distortion measurement system, we programed to display a PIMD signal with FPGA/DSP at PC. Implemented PIMD system was variable from 650 MHz to 2700 MHz and show up to -138 dB minimum detectable $3^{rd}$ passive inetrmodulation distortion signal.

In this paper, a wireless video streaming system is designed and implemented for TV white space applications. It consists of a RF transceiver module, a digital modem, a camera, and a LCD screen. A VGA resolution video is captured by a camera, modulated by modem, and transmitted by RF transceiver module, and finally displayed at a destination 2.6-inch LCD screen. The RF transceiver is based on direct-conversion architecture. Image leakage is improved by low pass filtering LO, which successfully covers the TVWS. Also, DC offset problem is solved by current steering techniques which control common mode level at DAC output node. The output power of the transmitter and the minimum sensitivity of the receiver is +10 dBm and -82 dBm, respectively. The channel bandwidth is tunable among 6, 7 and 8 MHz according to regulations and standards. Digital modem is realized in Kintex-7 FPGA. Data rate is 9 Mbps based on QPSK and 512ch OFDM. A VGA video is successfully streamed through the air by using the developed TV white-space RF communication module.

In this paper, we propose a ultrasonic and RF-based indoor localization system. In previous work, various systems were proposed for indoor localization, but they have limitation in applicability due to time-synchronization, complexity, or accuracy. To overcome such problems, an indoor localization system with ultrasonic and RF is proposed. A transmitting system is composed of a pair of ultrasonic and RF transmitters and the receiving system is composed of multiple ultrasonic receivers and one RF receiver. The theoretical performance limitation is also analyzed. To verify localization performance, we have implemented a receiving systems and a transmitting system using Arduino modules. Experiments were performed in $2m{\times}2m{\times}2m$ space and the localization errors had a mean of 6.1cm and a standard deviation of 1.6cm.

In this paper, a 10W GaN MMIC was designed and fabricated using the Ku-band SSPA module. For Design and fabrication of the SSPA module using Rogers(RO4003C) substrate was used for Branch-line structure. SSPA modules on budget Divider/Combiner was designed and fabricated less than the maximum insertion loss - 0.7dB. In addition, because it must be applied to the structural nature of GaN MMIC Gate Bias-Drain Bias circuit was implemented to apply the Gate-Drain sequential circuit, implemented the RF Power Detect, Temperature Detect, HPA On/Off function. Design and fabrication Ku-band SSPA Module got the measurement results that satisfy a maximum output of 15.6W, Gain 45.7dB, 19.0% efficiency.

We presents a BGA(Ball Grid Array) package for RF circuit modules and extracted its electrical parameters. We constructed a BGA package of ITS(Intelligent Transportation System) RF module and examined electrical parameters with a HP5475A TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry) equipment and compared its electrical parasitic parameters with PCB RF circuits. With a BGA substrate of 3 $\times$ 3 input and output terminals, we have found that self capacitance of BGA solder ball is 68.6fF, self inductance 146pH, mutual capacitance 10.9fF and mutual inductance 16.9pH. S parameter measurement with a HP4396B Network Analyzer showed the resonance frequency of 1.55㎓ and the loss of 0.26dB. Thus, we may improve electrical performance when we use BGA package structures in the design of RF circuit modules.
