Radio environment maps (REMs) and geolocation database represent an important source of information for the operation of cognitive radio networks, replacing or complementing spectrum sensing information. This paper provides a survey of methods for constructing the radio frequency layer of radio environment map (RF-REM) using distributed measurements of the signal levels at a given frequency in space and time. The signal level measurements can be obtained from fixed or mobile devices capable of sensing radio environment and sending this information to the REM. The signal measurements are complemented with information already stored in different REM content layers. The combined information is applied for estimation of the RF-REM layer. The RF-REM construction methods are compared, and their advantages and disadvantages with respect to the spatial distribution of signal measurements and computational complexity is given. This survey also indicates possible directions of further research in indirect RF-REM construction methods. It emphasizes that accurate RF-REM construction methods should in the best case support operation with random and clustered signal measurements, their operation should not be affected by measurements outliers, and it must estimate signal levels comparably on all RF-REM locations with moderate computational effort.

A 3-5 GHz UWB radar chip in 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process is presented in this paper. The UWB radar transceiver for surveillance and biometric applications adopts the equivalent time sampling architecture and 4-channel time interleaved samplers to relax the impractical sampling frequency and enhance the overall scanning time. The RF front end (RFFE) includes the wideband LNA and 4-way RF power splitter, and the analog signal processing part consists of the high speed track & hold (T&H) / sample & hold (S&H) and integrator. The interleaved timing clocks are generated using a delay locked loop. The UWB transmitter employs the digitally synthesized topology. The measured NF of RFFE is 9.5 dB in 3-5 GHz. And DLL timing resolution is 50 ps. The measured spectrum of UWB transmitter shows the center frequency within 3-5 GHz satisfying the FCC spectrum mask. The power consumption of receiver and transmitter are 106.5 mW and 57 mW at 1.5 V supply, respectively.

The large-area high-power radio-frequency (RF) driven ion sources based on the negative hydrogen (deuterium) ion beam extraction are the major components of neutral beam injection (NBI) systems in future large-scale fusion devices such as an ITER and DEMO. Positive hydrogen (deuterium) RF ion sources were the major components of the second NBI system on ASDEX-U tokamak. A test large-area high-power RF ion source (LAHP-RaFIS) has been developed for steady-state operation at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) to extract the positive ions, which can be used for the NBI heating and current drive systems in the present fusion devices, and to extract the negative ions for negative ion-based plasma heating and for future fusion devices such as a Fusion Neutron Source and Korea-DEMO. The test RF ion source consists of a driver region, including a helical antenna and a discharge chamber, and an expansion region. RF power can be transferred at up to 10 kW with a fixed frequency of 2 MHz through an optimized RF matching system. An actively water-cooled Faraday shield is located inside the driver region of the ion source for the stable and steady-state operations of RF discharge. The characteristics and uniformities of the plasma parameter in the RF ion source were measured at the lowest area of the expansion bucket using two RF-compensated electrostatic probes along the direction of the short- and long-dimensions of the expansion region. The plasma parameters in the expansion region were characterized by the variation of loaded RF power (voltage) and filling gas pressure.

내부 삽입형 유도결합 플라즈마를 이온화원으로 하는 I-PVD장치를 이용하여 박막을 형성하는데 중요한 요소의 하나가 이온의 입사에너지이며, 이는 플라즈마 전위와 기판 전위의 차이에 의해서 결정된다. 이를 감소시킬 목적으로 안테나 여기 주파수를 4MHz의 중간주파수에서, 안테나의 정합 회로를 변형형, 부동형의 2가지로 변화시키고, 부동형에서는 바이어스 저항의 값을 가변시켰다. 그 결과 Ar 플라즈마에서 4MHz RF 전력 600 W에서 5 mTorr에서 30 mTorr의 넓은 압력 범위에서 5V 미만의 낮은 평균 플라즈마 전위와 60V의 안테나 전압을 얻었다. 또한 출력측에 설치한 RLC회로의 조절을 통해서 RF전력 500 W에서 RF 입력 및 출력단의 Rf 안테나 유기 전압을 50V의 아주 낮은 값으로 유지시킬 수 있었다. 이때의 안테나 및 플라즈마의 총 임피던스는 약 10$\Omega$이었으며, 리액턴스를 0.05$\Omega$수준으로 유지하였을 때 가장 낮은 전압을 얻었다.

We examine experimentally the dependence of output width on DC bias, RF power, and RF frequency in a gain-switched semiconductor laser. The optimum short pulses are obtained around threshold DC bias. The DC bias to generatoe shorter pulses decreases the RF power increases, whereas it increases to above threshold as the RF freqnecy increases. The pulse width becomes less sensitive to the variations of the DC bias, as the RF bias, or frquency increases.
