Thin films of ZnO are deposited by using an RF magnetron sputtering with varying the substrate temperature(RT~39$0^{\circ}C$) and RF power(50~250W). Cu-doped ZnO(denoted by ZnO:Cu) films have also been prepared by co-spputtering of a ZnO target on which some Cu-chips are attached. Different substrate materials, such as Si, $SiO_{2}/Si$, sapphire, DLC/Si, and poly-diamond/Si, are employed to compare the c-axial growth features of deposited ZnO films. Texture coefficient(TC) values for the (002)-preferential growth are estimated from the XRD spectra of deposited films. Optimal ranges of RF powers and substrate temperatures for obtaining high TC values are determined. Effects of Cu-doping conditions, such as relative Cu-chip sputtering areas, $O_{2}/(Ar+O_{2})$ mixing ratios, and reactor pressures, on TC values, electrical resistivities, and relative Cu-compositions of deposited ZnO:Cu films have been systematically investigated. XPS study shows that the relative densities of metallic $Cu(Cu^{0})$ atoms and $CuO(Cu^{2+})$-phases within deposited films may play an important role of determining their electrical resistivities. It should be noted from the experimental results that highly resistive(> $10^{10}{\Omega}cm$ ZnO films with high TC values(> 80%) can be achieved by Cu-doping. SAW devices with ZnO(or Zn):Cu)/IDT/$SiO_{2}$/Si configuration are also fabricated to estimate the effective electric-mechanical coupling coefficient($k_{eff}^{2}$) and the insertion loss. It is observed that the devices using the Cu-doped ZnO films have a higher $k_{eff}^{2}$ and a lower insertion loss, compared with those using the undoped films.

이 논문에서 Ni-Zn 페라이트 코어와 칩캐패시터를 이용하여 제작한 주기적인 연결구조에서 발생하는 자기유도파(magneto-inductive wave)에 대한 실험적 결과를 보고 한다. 주기적 연결구조는 동일한 공진주파수를 가진 LC공진기(LC resonator)로 되었으며, 개별 공진기는 도선과 칩캐패시터로 구성되었다. 인접하는 공진기들은 패라이트코어를 통해서 자기적으로 결합되었다. 제작된 주기적 구조의 특성을 검토하기 위해서 네트워크 아날라이저를 이용한 S-파라미터를 분석하여 신호전송특성을 평가하였다. 5개의 LC공진기를 1차원적으로 연결하여 제작한 주기구조의 신호전송 중심주파수는 32 MHz~38 MHz였으며, 이는 인가자계의 크기에 의해서 조정할 수 있었다.

2.4 GHz 대역 완전차동 직접변환 수신기를 위한 저전력, 저잡음, 고선형성을 가지는 새로운 구조의 하이브리드 발룬(Hybrid Balun) 회로를 제안한다. 제안된 하이브리드 발룬은 수동형 트랜스포머(Passive Transformer)와 손실 보상용 보조 증폭기(Loss-compensating Auxiliary Amplifiers)로 구성된다. 트랜스포머와 보상용 증폭기 사이의 신호의 분리와 결합에 대한 설계 이슈들을 제시하였다. $0.18{\mu}m$ 공정으로 제작된 하이브리드 발룬은 수동형 발룬에 비해 2.4 GHz 대역에서 이득은 2.8 dB 높고 잡음지수는 1.9 dB 낮으며, 측정된 IIP3는 +23 dBm 이다. 전체 전력소모는 1.2 V 전원 전압에서 0.67 mA로서 저전력으로 구현되었다. 하이브리드 발룬 기술을 적용하여 설계된 무선센서노드용 CMOS 직접변환 수신기는 수동형 발룬을 사용했을 때 비해 0.82 mW의 추가 전력소모만으로 전체 잡음 지수를 현저히 낮출 수 있음을 확인하였다.

To improve $B_1$ homogeneity in high field MRI, the RF power is applied to the transmit array coil elements sequentially in the time-multiplexed way. Since only a single coil element is activated in a time-multiplexing slot, the global standing wave formation in the human body is greatly suppressed. The time-multiplexing slot width is on the order of micro seconds, hence, high-order-harmonic slices can be placed far from the transmit coil and simultaneous multiple slice selection can be avoided. The $B_1$ homogeneities of a birdcage coil and an eight-channel transmit array coil have been compared through finite difference time domain simulations. The simulation results indicate that the proposed technique can reduce the peak-to-peak $B_1$ inhomogeneity down to one fourth of the transmission with a birdcage coil on the central plane of the human head model at 3 T. The mimicking experiments at 3 T, eight separate experiments with a single coil element activated and image reconstruction by combining the eight images, also show promising results. It is expected that the proposed technique has some advantages over other $B_1$ improving methods in real practice since simple RF switching circuitries are only necessary and electromagnetic coupling between the coil elements is out of concern in its realization.

자기공명영상 시스템의 신호 대 잡음 비(SNR, Signal-to-Noise Ratio)를 향상시키기 위해서 quadrature RF 코일을 사용하는 것은 최근의 일반적인 방법이다. 그렇지만 이 때 SNR의 향상을 가져오기 위해서는 완벽한 3dB 커플링과 90°위상차를 가지는 잘 설계된 quadrature coupler가 필수적이다. 또한 RF 여기 주기와 검파 주기 동안 각 포트의 임피던스 정합 조건이 잘 만족되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 분석과 시뮬레이션 및 제작을 통해 임피던스 부정합 조건(특히,환자)의 영향을 살펴보았고 이의 영향을 최소화하고 시스템의 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위한 회로 기술로 동적 로딩(dynamic loading)을 처음으로 quadrature coupler 와 송수신 스위치 모듈에 적용하는 것을 제안했다. 또한 quadrature coupler와 송수신 스위치 모듈을 마이크로 스트립을 이용해 설계하고 제작 하였다. 결과적으로 자기공명영상 시스템의 SNR은 수신 동적 부하가 없고 불연속 소자로 된 종전 모듈을 사용했을 때보다 시스템의 SNR이 3dB 높아졌다. 또한 이 모듈은 자기공명영상 시스템이의 최대 5kw의 고출력 RF 신호의 처리가 가능하다. 전력 손실과 크기를 고려할 때, 고유전율을 가진 R/Tduroid 6010 기판을 사용하였으며, 시뮬레이션은 Compact Software을 사용 했다.

$^1H-^{15}N$ heteronuclear dipolar coupling solid-state NMR experiments on lipid bilayer or bicelle samples are very useful for the structural studies of membrane proteins. However, to study these biological samples using solid-state NMR, a specific probe with high efficiency and high capability is required. In this paper, we describe the optimized design, construction, and efficiency of a 400 MHz wide-bore $^1H-^{15}N$ solid-state NMR probe with 5-mm solenoidal rf coil for high power, multi-pulse sequence experiments, such as 2D PISEMA or 2D SAMMY.

As the wireless power transfer (WPT) technology based on strongly resonance coupled method realizes large power charging without any wires through the air, there are advantages compared with the wired counterparts, such as convenient, safety and fearless transmission of power. From this reason, the WPT systems have started to be applied to the wireless charging for various power applications such as train, underwater ship, electric vehicle. This study aims for the effect and characteristics of different inserted resonance coil between Tx and Rx coils for charging system of superconducting magnetic levitation (MAGLEV) train. The transfer efficiency and effect are evaluated with helix type, rectangular type copper resonance coil, and HTS resonance coil under bulb and HTS magnet load, respectively. The input power is adapted with radio frequency (RF) power of 370 kHz below 500 W.

In this article, we deal with the IED(Intelligent Electronic Device) on the EMC aspect. Recognizing how expensive the thorough EMC work will be regarding the entire IED, we focus on the characteristics of RF signals moving along multiple TX-lines in one specified example of the typical IED structure, say, the layer of trace lines. Simplifying the real structure, we run a 3D EM program and analyze the properties of signals on the lines and interference due to the coupling between the neighboring lines.

Integration of RF front end module(FEM) into the antenna has been investigated in USPCS band (1.88GHz-1.99GHz). The FEM consists of input filter, power amplifier, coupler, power detector, bias switch and duplexer. The antenna was designed in planar inverted F antenna(PIFA) structure to implement it inside the handset. In order to avoid strong coupling between the antenna and FEM, a shielding ground layer was placed between them. The antenna size is 19mm by 10mm by 6mm under which FEM whose size is 8mm by 5mm by 1.5m locates. The antenna impedance was selected to match to FEM having better efficiency rather than gain since FEM has enough gain whose system spec is minimum of 20dB. The antenna patterns are shown with and without FEM.

The proposed CMOS Quadrature VCO for WLAN application was designed in TSMC $0.18\;{\mu}m$ RF CMOS technology. The QVCO based on NMOS back-gate as a coupling transistor and switched capacitors array without tail transistors is designed to generate quadrature output signals. The simulated results show that the QVCO core consumed 3.67 mA and 6.6 mW from a 1.8 V supply. The QVCO is tunable between $4.76\;GHz\;{\sim}\;6.35\;GHz$ and has a phase noise lower than -116.8 ㏈c/Hz at 1 MHz offset over the entire tuning range
