In this work, the degradation of g$_{m}$ , f$_{T}$ and f$_{max}$ of RF-CMOS devices have been characterized at elevated temperature. Since MOS transistors in RF applications are usually in saturation region, a simple empirical model for temperature dependence of g$_{m}$ at any measurement bias has been suggested. Because f$_{T}$ and f$_{max}$ of CMOS devices are proportional to g$_{m}$, the temperature dependence of f$_{T}$ and f$_{max}$ could be obtained from the temperature dependence of g$_{m}$. It was found that the degradation of f$_{T}$ and f$_{max}$ at elevated temperature was due to the degradation of g$_{m}$. From the correlation between DC and RF performances of CMOS devices, we can predict the enhanced f$_{T}$ and f$_{max}$ performances at low temperature.

The location information of the people or mover is essential for supporting various smart mobility services in railway stations which are mostly underground. For this purpose, a smart braille block is proposed to identify the location of the mover of the people. In this paper, the frequency characteristics of each material of the upper and lower parts of the braille block are analyzed to examine the appropriate materials for railway history. In addition, the guidelines for actual manufacturing were derived by analyzing the separation distance between two RF sensors in the smart braille block. As a result of analysis through the characteristic analysis in this paper, after selecting the material suitable for the construction site when the smart braille block is applied, the performance change of the RF system, especially the antenna that greatly influences the RF performance, must be reviewed in advance. It seems to have to be applied after checking through.

In this paper, we developed an intelligent and wideband RF-receiver module to represent a high dynamic range and good linearity characteristics up to 650MHz-2700MHz frequency band. and implemented an intelligent digital-RF- distorted signal measuring system for the RF distortion (intermodulation) signals. Broadband RF-receive module was designed to represent the optimized linear parameters of the receiver to meet the low noise and wide dynamic range. The designed intelligent digital-distortion(intermodulation) signal measument system measured by applying the 1MHz IF of third intermodulation signal of DUT and Measured data was recorded by program on the PC monitor with GUI interface. By variable up to 650MHz-2700MHz measured data showed up to -127.8dBc to -138dBc of the distortion (intermodulation) signal. And developed intelligent digital- distortion signal measurement system can be used to measure intermodulation distortion signal of wireless system widely.

RF magnetron co-sputtering을 이용하여 RF power 및 공정 압력에 따라 GZO 및 IGZO 박막을 유리기판 위에 제작하고 투명전극으로 구조적, 광학적, 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. 박막 증착 조건의 초기 압력은 $1.0{\times}10^{-6}Torr$, 증착온도는 상온으로 고정하였으며 기판은 Corning 1737 유리기판을 사용하였다. 소결된 타겟으로 ZnO, $In_2O_3$ 및 $Ga_2O_3$을 이용하였으며, 각각의 타겟은 독립 된 RF파워를 변화시키며 투명전극의 성분비를 조절하였으며, 증착 압력은 10 m에서 100 mTorr까지, 기판과의 거리는 25 mm에서 65 mm까지 변화시키며 박막을 제작하였다. 유리기판 위에 불순물이 첨가된 모든 ZnO 박막에서 (002) 면의 우선배향성이 관찰되었고, 3.4eV에서 3.5eV 정도의 광학적 밴드갭을 가지며 80% 이상의 투과율을 나타내었다. GZO 박막의 경우 증착 조건에 따라 투명전극에 요구되는 $5*10^{-3}{\Omega}-cm$ 이하의 전기적특성을 가짐을 보였으며, gallium 성분이 0%에서 6%로 증가함에 따라 3.3eV에서 3.5eV로 blue-shift하였으며, 비저항은 0.02에서 $0.005{\Omega}cm$로 낮아졌으며 이동도는 $4.7cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$에서 $2.7cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$로 보이며 GZO 물질이 투명전극으로서 기존의 ITO 물질 대체 가능성을 확인하였다. IGZO 박막은 In과 Ga의 함량에 따라 저항률의 변화가 크게 나타났으며, In의 함량이 많을수록 이동도, 캐리어 농도의 증가로 저항률은 감소하였다.

본 연구에서는 고밀도 플라즈마를 형성하는 planar magnetron RF 플라즈마 CVD를 이용하여 DLC(diamond-like carbon) 박막을 합성하였다. 이 방법을 이용하여 DLC 박막을 합성한다면 고밀도 플라즈마 때문에 종래의 플라즈마 CVD(RF-PECVD)법보다 증착속도가 더욱더 향상될 것이라는 것에 착안하였다. 이를 위해 magnetron에 의한 고밀도 플라즈마가 존재할 때도 역시 DLC박막형성에 미치는 RF 전력과 반응가스 압력이 중요한 반응변수인가에 대해 조사하였고, 일정한 자기장의 세기에서 RF전력과 DC self-bias 전압과의 관계를 조사하였다. 또한 RF전력변화에 따른 박막의 증착속도와 밀도를 측정하였다. 본 연구에 의해 얻어진 박막의 증착속도는 magnetron에 의한 이온화율이 매우 높아 기존의 RF-PECVD 법보다 매우 빠르며, DLC박막의 구조와 물질특성을 알아보기 위해 FTIR(fourier transform infrared)및 Raman 분광분석을 행한 결과 전형적인 양질의 고경질 다이아몬드상 탄소박막임을 알 수 있었다.

Microstructures and the gas-sensing characteristics of the $\textrm{SnO}_2$ thin films were studied, which were deposited at various conditions (rf power, sample temperature, $\textrm{O}_2$/Ar ratio) by the rf magnetron sputtering. As a result, six typical microstructures were derived, such as amorphous(A), amorphous mixed with polycrystalline grains (A+P), polycrystalline with random crystalographic orientation (P), fine columnar (FC), coarse columnar (CC) and Zone T (T) with dense fiberous structure. Typically, A, A+ P, and P structures were formed when no $\textrm{O}_2$ was added to the sputter gas, whereas FC, CC, and T structures were obtained when $\textrm{O}_2$ was added. The A structure formed at low rf power and low temperature, the A+P at high rf power and low temperature, and the P at high rf power and high temperature. The FC structure was obtained at low rf power and low temperature. the CC at low rf power and high temperature, and the T at high rf power and low temperature. Results of the gas-sensing test of the sensor chips fabricated from the typical films indicated that the fine columnar microstructure shows the highest sensitivity both at $300^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$. It was proposed that this is due to the high specific surface area of the micro-columns.

This paper fabricated and analyzed the image rejection mixer that uses FET's channel resistance. It can be applied for capacity 64QAM that has 50MHz~90MHz of IF band, 8.17GHz of LO frequency and 8.08~8.12GHz of RF band. When IF input power is -20dBm and LO input power is 10dBm, RF output power is obtained -33.2dBm. In this case, conversion loss is 12.9dB, the suppression of 14.3dB for LO frequency and 10.4dB for image frequency. The result of two tone test shows great IMD characteristics with 51.7dBc.

ZnO:Al thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering with various base pressure, and their structural, optical, and electrical properties were studied. The influence of the base pressure on the ZnO:Al thin film was confirmed and a high-quality thin film was obtained by controlling the base pressure. In all Al-doped ZnO thin films, the preferred orientation of (002) plane was observed and light transmittance in visible region (400 nm~800 nm) had above 85%. With decreasing of base pressure, crystallinity, resistivity, and figure of merit were improved. The improvement of resistivity with base pressure was attributed to the change of grain size.
