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.

This paper introduces a direct-conversion CMOS RF transmitter for the IEEE 802.15.4 standard with a low-power high-gain up-conversion mixer designed in $0.18{\mu}m$ process. The designed RF DCT(Direct Conversion Transmitter) is composed of differential DAC(Digital to Analog Converter), passive low-pass filter, quadrature active mixer and drive amplifier. The most important characteristic in designing RF DCT is to satisfy the 2.4 GHz Zigbee standard in low power. The quadrature active mixer inside the proposed RF DCT provides enough high gain as well as sufficient linearity using a gain boosting technique. The measurement results for the proposed transmitter show very low power consumption of 7.8 mA, output power more than 0 dBm and ACPR (Adjacent Channel Power Ratio) of -30 dBc.

In this paper, we studied a spectrum sensing algorithm for the efficient use of available spectrum in RF energy harvesting system combined with backscatter communication. We first looked for white spaces and then, selected low fading channel among white spaces using spectrum sensing algorithm at a transmitter. The transmitter employing the algorithm alleviates signal interference and improves the received signal strength indication through signals transmitted by low fading channel. The proposed RF energy harvesting system combined with backscatter communication is used the transmitter employing the algorithm. As a result of computer simulations, we can find the performance improvements of RF energy harvesting, BER of backscatter communication, and the received signal strength per distance of backscatter tag.

Small communication devices used in the Internet of Things are vulnerable to various hacking because they do not apply advanced encryption techniques due to their low memory capacity or slow computation speed. In order to increase the authentication reliability of small-sized transmitters operating in 433MHz band, we introduce an RF fingerprint and adopt a convolutional neural network (CNN) as a classification algorithm. The preamble signal transmitted by each transmitter are extracted and collected using software-defined-radio to constitute a training data set, which is used for training the CNN. We tested identification of 20 transmitters in four different scenarios and obtained high identification accuracy. In particular, the accuracy of 95.8% and 92.6% was obtained, respectively in the scenario where the test was performed at a location different from the transmitter's location at the time of collecting training data, and in the scenario where the transmitter moves at walking speed.

This paper has proposed a 2,500 MHz ~ 2,570 MHz 0.13-${\mu}m$ CMOS RF front-end transmitter for LTE-Advanced systems. The proposed RF front-end transmitter is composed of a quadrature up-conversion mixer and a driver amplifier. The measurement results show the maximum output power level is +6 dBm and the suppression ratio for the image sideband and LO leakage are better than -40 dBc respectively. The fabricated chip consumes 36 mA from a 1.2 V supply voltage.

This paper has proposed a $0.13-{\mu}m$ CMOS RF Front-end transmitter for LTE-Advanced systems. The proposed RF Front-end supports a band 7 (from 2500 MHz to 2570 MHz) in E-UTRA of 3GPP. It can provide a maximum output power level of +10 dBm but it's a normal output power level is +0 dBm considering a low PAPR. The post-layout simulation results show that the quadrature up-conversion mixer and a driver amplifier consumes 14 mA and 28 mA from a 1.2 V supply voltage respectively, while providing a output power level of 0 dBm at the input power level of -13 dBm.

최근 통신시스템과 핸드폰, PDA등의 통신기기들의 발전에 따라 사용자들은 높은 데이터 전송률과 고속의 통신서비스를 요구하고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 유 무선 통합 시스템인 Radio-over-Fiber(RoF) 시스템은 그 대안으로 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 광전자소자를 선 왜곡 방식에 적용하여 광 송신기의 선형성을 향상시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 선 왜곡 방식은 두 개의 루프로 구성되어 있으며, 광 부품인 레이저 다이오드와 포토 다이오드 그리고 RF 부품인 위상변위기, 감쇄기, RF 결합/분배기, RF 증폭기를 사용하였다. 메인 루프에서 주 레이저 다이오드의 비선형성에 의해 발생된 왜곡신호성분은 보조 루프에서 부 레이저 다이오드를 이용하여 추출된 선 왜곡신호에 의해서 제거된다. 제안된 선형화 기법을 적용하여 2.4 GHz에서 선형화 기법을 적용하기 전보다 3차 상호변조 왜곡성분이 약 30dB 향상된 결과를 얻었다.

This paper presents a 868/915 MHz CMOS RF transceiver for the ZigBee application. Using a switchless matching network, the off chip switch is removed to achieve the low cost RF transceiver, and by the elimination of the switch's insertion loss we can achieve the benefits for the RF receiver's noise figure and transmitter's power efficiency at the given output power. The receiver is composed of low-noise amplifier, mixer, and baseband analog(BBA) circuit. The transmitter is composed of BBA, mixer, and driver amplifier. And, the integer N type frequency synthesizer is designed. The proposed ZigBee RF full transceiver is implemented on the $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. Measurement results show that the maximum gain and the noise figure of the receiver are 97.6 dB and 6.8 dB, respectively. The receiver consumes 32 mA in the receiver mode and the transmitter 33 mA in the transmission mode.

이동통신은 그 방식이 아날로그든 디지틀이든 같은 기능의 음성신호를 송신하고 수신하는 것이다. 아나로그형은 크게 RF 수신부, RF 송신부, 신호처리부 제어부 그리고 전원부로 나누어 진다. 통화시 송,수신이 동시에 이루어지므로 송신신호와 수신신호가 서로 간섭하지 않도록 정교환 신호 여과기가 필요하다. Philips사의 경우 몇개의 칩으로 RF/IF 변환, 아나로그 신호처리 그리고 신호제어를 할 수 있도록 설계하였고 몇몇 선두회사들은 하나의 아나로그 처리기로 baseband 아나로그 신호를 처리 할 수 있도록 설계하였다. RF 부분은 아직 별도의 PCB에 제작되는데 이유는 IF 부분의 송.수신부가 공간을 많이 차지하며, RF 부분에는 가격을 내리기 위해 개별 소자들이 많이 쓰이기 때문이다.
