In this study, we describe a low-temperature wafer-level thermocompression bonding using electroplated gold seal line and bonding pads by electroplating method for RF-MEMS devices. Silicon wafers, electroplated with gold (Au), were completely bonded at $320^{\circ}C$ for 30 min at a pressure of 2.5 MPa. The through-hole interconnection between the packaged devices and external terminal did not need metal filling process and was made by gold films deposited on the sidewall of the throughhole. This process was low-cost and short in duration. Helium leak rate, which is measured to evaluate the reliability of bonded wafers, was $2.7{\pm}0.614{\times}10^{-10}Pam^{3}/s$. The insertion loss of the CPW packaged was $-0.069{\sim}-0.085\;dB$. The difference of the insertion loss between the unpackaged and packaged CPW was less than -0.03. These values show very good RF characteristics of the packaging. Therefore, gold thermocompression bonding can be applied to high quality hermetic wafer level packaging of RF-MEMS devices.

The RFM (Rational Function Model), as an alternative to physical sensor models has been widely used for photogrammetric processing of high resolution optical satellite imagery. However, the application of RF modeling to the SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) is very limited. In this paper, stereo radargrammetric processing of TerraSAR-X stereo pairs with RFM is implemented and analyzed. The investigation has shown that the accuracy of TerraSAR-X DSM is similar to that of the commercial S/W product. Finally, it is demonstrated that RFM is effective and feasible in the application to the radargrammetric SAR image processing.

The object of this paper is to design a biomedical signal measure systems based on sensor networks for the patient, integrated with computing technology. Using a combination of zigbee RF, embedded hardware and software technologies, as it allows the healthcare center to receive the information on emergency situations and the ordinary state of the patients individually or simultaneously, the healthcare center can copy with quickly a state of emergency and assist the normal life of the patient. In order to meet the low power and other requirements for the proposed system, we introduce a zigbee based RP which is the most suitable solution for improving the performance of our beeper system.

Location information is a critical element of ubiquitous computing. Cricket is an indoor location-based system that transmits radio and ultrasonic signals in regular intervals to calculate the distance between nodes. However, the amount of signal interference and collisions increases in proportion with the number of nodes, losing the accuracy of the location-based system. This study proposes an algorithm based on the 802.15.2 MAC protocol for the wireless sensor network to reduce signal interference and collision by employing node numbers and the frequency reuse approach used in mobile telecommunication. We analyzed the performance of our algorithm. The obtained results showed that the algorithm is an effective for throughput and energy compared to the Cricket system.

Nickel oxide films using RF sputter was formed on the $SiO_2/Si$ substrate at the room temperature controlled with water circulation system. The feasibility of nickel oxide film as a bolometric material was demonstrated. GIXRD spectrum on NiO(111), NiO(200), and NiO(220) orientation expected as the main peaks were appeared in the grown nickel oxide films. The typical resistivity acquired at the RF power of 100W was about $34.25{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. And it was reduced to $18.65{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ according to the increase of the RF power to 400W. The TCR of fabricated micro-bolometer with the resistivity of $34.25{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ was $-2.01%/^{\circ}C$. The characteristics of fabricated nickel oxide film and micro-bolometer were analyzed with XRD pattern, resistivity, TCR, and SEM images.

센서 네트워크의 가장 큰 이슈는 센서노드들의 제한된 에너지를 효율적으로 관리하여, 센서노드의 Lifetime을 연장하는데 있다. 센서 네트워크에서 가장 큰 에너지 손실 부분은 RF통신 부분이라 할 수 있다. 본 논문은 질의응답에 참여할 센서 노드를 선별적으로 구성함으로써, 질의응답에 참여하지 않는 센서노드들의 에너지를 관리하고자 한다. 또한 참여노드의 선별적 구성에 대한 신뢰도를 향상시키기 위해 클러스터에 존재하는 센서 노드들 간의 신뢰비율을 선택 메커니즘에 포함시키고자 한다.

This paper introduces a modulation method for digital wireless communication based on general DS-QPSK. The design and fabrication is for home networking application to a typical RF transmitter with DS-QPSK modulator. This modulator implemented using VHDL hardware programming language, the fabrication of IC chip $5{\times}5 mm^2$ was carried by 27th IDEC MPW(Multi Project Wafer) process in 0.35${\mu}m$ rule at Samsung Inc. This paper presented the important of this technology for the future application in wireless sensor. This module can be efficient usage for home network to transmit the RF wireless sensor system.

This paper deals with RLS algorithm using Newton-Raphson method based adaptive forgetting factor for a passive telemetry RF sensor system in order to estimate the time variant parameter to be included in RF sensor model. For this estimation with RLS algorithm, phasor typed RF sensor system modelled with inductive coupling principle is used. Instead of applying constant forgetting factor to estimate time variant parameter, the adaptive forgetting factor based on Newton-Raphson method is applied to RLS algorithm without constant forgetting factor to be determined intuitively. Finally, we provide numerical examples to evaluate the feasibility and generality of the proposed method in this paper.
