In this paper, economic miniature RF transmitter module for intelligent transportation system(ITS) is described. This module which consists of ASK modulator, frequency synthesizer, power amplifier is operating at 5.8 GHz frequency band and implemented by using LTCC process technique. Thus, ultra small size of 0.8 CC and improved electrical performances has been obtained. From the test results, transmitting characteristics of 10 dBm ouput power and -46 dBc interchannel interference with 1.024 Mbps ASK modulated have been shown. Frequency synthesizer as a transmitting signal source reveals very short locking time of 26 usec and outstanding phase noise of -115 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from 5.8 GHz center frequency.

We presented a BGA(Ball Grid Array) package for RF circuit modules and extracted its electrical parameters. As the frequency of RF system devices increases, the effect of its electrical parasitics in the wireless communication system requires new structure of RF circuit modules because of its needs to be considered of electrical performance for minimization and module mobility. RF circuit modules with BGA packages can provide some advantages such as minimization, shorter circuit routing, and noise improvement by reducing electrical noise affected to analog and digital mixed circuits, etc. We constructed a BGA package of ITS(Intelligent Transportation System) RF module and measured electrical parameters with a 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, and self inductance 146pH, whose values were reduced to 34% and 47% of the value of QFP package structure. S11 parameter measurement with a HP4396B Network Analyzer showed the resonance frequency of 1.55GHz and the loss of 0.26dB. Routing length of the substrate was reduced to 39.8mm. Thus, we may improve electrical performance when we use BGA package structures in the design of RF circuit modules.

This paper presents a three dimensional stacked pad area away (PAA) package configuration as an implementation method of radio frequency (RF) circuits. 224MHz RF circuits of intelligence traffic system(ITS) were constructed with the stacked PAA RF pakage configuration. In the process of manufacturing the stacked PAA RF pakage, RF circuits were partitioned to subareas following their function and operating frequency. Each area of circuits separated to each subunits. The operating characteristics of RF PAA package module and the electrical properties of each subunits were examined. The measurement of electrical parameters for solder balls which were interconnects for stacked PAA RF packages showed that the parasitic capacitance and inductance were 30fF and 120pH, respectively, which might be negligible in PAA RF packaging system. HP 4396B network/spectrum analyzer revealed that the amplification gain of a receiver and transmitter at 224 MHz was 22dB and 27dB, respectively. The gain was 3dB lower than designed values. The difference was probably generated from fabrication process of the circuits by employing commercial standard

본 논문에서는 RF 모듈을 탐재한 Atmega 시스템 설계를 통한 잠수함 원격 제어 시스템을 구현한다. 본 연구에서 제작한 RC 잠수함은 실제 잠수함의 원리와 비슷하게 잠항을 할 때는 소형펌프로 밸러스트탱크에 물을 채우고, 잠수를 할 때 수직타와 추진력을 이용하여 잠항을 한다. 이와 반대로 부상은 소형펌프로 밸러스트탱크 안에 물을 배수하여 WTC(방수실린더)안의 기압과 수직타와 추진력을 이용하여 부상을 한다. RC 잠수함은 크게 외부와 내부 그리고 방수를 하기 위한 WTC(방수 실린더)로 나누어진다. 송신 부는 RF 모듈, MCU(Atmega128), 키패드, 캐릭터LCD로 구성되며 수신부는 MCU(Atmega128), RF 모듈, 제어장치들로 구성한다. 제어장치에는 모형 잠수함은 추진력을 위하여 DC 모터에 스크류(프로펠러)를 장착하고, 방향전환 및 잠항과 부상을 위하여 RC 서보 모터를 사용하고 잠항과 부상을 위하여 펌프를 사용한다. WTC는 방수실린더로서 아크릴파이프를 이용하여 제작하고 방수를 위하여 아크릴파이프를 이용 여기에 MCU와 제어 장치들을 넣어 밀봉시켜 방수를 하여 완성한다.

This paper proposed the Low power configuration of Single hop WSN(Wireless Sensor Network) system. When the RF communication is done each tag node during the WSN systems operating, power consumption is greatest. There for, if you configure the Network with the RF communication module turn on/off periodically, power consumption less then operating the module all the time without it toggles. However, some data omissions may occur in which transmission and receipt is done. So this paper proposed the algorithm for low power system without data omissions.

In this paper, we designed a RF transceiver operating up to 200 km operating range and 45 Mbps data rate. The RF transceiver operates in Ku band and composed of up/down converter, high power amplifier, front-end elements. To satisfy the operating range of RF transceiver, 10W power amplifier was required and realized by using GaN power amplifier. Moreover, to mitigate mutual interference for different bandwidth signals due to the adaptive transmission speed control function, SAW filter bank structure was used. To verify system requirement satisfaction AWR simulation tool was used.
