This paper presents transistor matching in 70 nm nMOS. To adopt radio frequency(RF) applications, the RF performance, especially the current gain cutoff frequency($f_T$), is examined experimentally through a wafer. It is proved that the RF performance variation of 70 nm nMOS is dependent to the device geometry, the total width(W). The RF performance variation of 70 nm nMOS is inversely proportional to square root of total width(W). Also, decreasing of the number of fingers($N_f$) is helpful to decrease the variation of 70 nm nMOS.

A direct RF sampling method refers to a technique that directly converts a passband signal to an intermediate band or a baseband without using a mixer. This method is less complicated than an existing RF receiver because a mixer is not used. It uses digital processing after sampling, and thus can flexibly process signals in a number of bands using software. In this process, it is important to select an appropriate sampling frequency so that a number of signals can be converted to an intermediate band that is easy to process. In this study, going beyond previously studied direct RF sampling frequency selection methods, conditions that need to be additionally considered during receiver design were examined, and the structure of a direct RF sampling receiver that satisfies these conditions was suggested.

Future mobile services will require data transmission rates of 100 Gbps or higher due to the universalization of virtual and augmented reality devices. Therefore, THz technology, which uses an ultrahigh frequency band of 200 GHz or higher, is expected to be a candidate for such high-quality services. This article describes the current status of THz radio propagation characteristics, device and system developments, and network requirements to identify the overall trends in THz wireless communication technology.

Quality characteristics of frozen cylindrical pork loin were evaluated following different tempering methods: 27.12 MHz curved-electrode radio frequency (RF) at 1000 and 1500 W, and forced-air convection (FC) or water immersion (WI) at $4^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. The developed RF tempering system with the newly designed curved-electrode achieved relatively uniform tempering compared to a parallel-plate RF system. FC tempering at $4^{\circ}C$ was the most time-consuming process, whereas 1500 W RF was the shortest. Pork sample drip loss, water holding capacity, color, and microbiological quality declined after WI tempering at $20^{\circ}C$. Conversely, RF tempering yielded minimal sample changes in drip loss, microstructure, color, and total aerobic bacteria counts, along with relatively uniform internal sample temperature distributions compared to those of the other tempering treatments. These results indicate that curved-electrode RF tempering could be used to provide rapid defrosting with minimal quality deterioration of cylindrical frozen meat block products.

In this work, small-size, high-performance solenoid-type RF chip inductors utilizing a low-loss Al$_2$O$_3$core material were investigated. The size of the chip inductors fabricated in this work were 15$\times$10$\times$0.7㎣, 2.1$\times$1.5$\times$10㎣, and 2.4$\times$2.0$\times$1.4㎣ and copper (Cu) wire with 40 ㎛ diameter was used as the coils. High frequency characteristics of the inductance, quality factor, and impedance of developed inductors were measured suing an RF Impedance/Material Analyzer (HP4291B with HP16193A test fixture). It was observed that the developed inductors with the number of turns of 7 have the inductance of 33 to 100nH and exhibit the self-resonant frequency (SRF) of .26 to 1.1 GHz. The SRF of inductors decreases with increasing the inductance and the inductors have the quality factor of 60 to 80 in the frequency range of 300 MHz to 1.1 GHz. In this study, small-size solenoid-type RF chip inductors with high inductance and high quality factor were fabricated successfully. It is suggested that the thin film-type inductor is necessary to fabricate the smaller size inductors at the expence of inductance and quality factor values.

Radio-frequency (RF) amplifiers based on direct current (DC) superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) have low-noise performance for precision physics experiments. Gain curves of SQUID RF amplifiers depend on several parameters of the SQUID and operation conditions. We are developing SQUID RF amplifiers for application to measure very weak RF signals from ultra-low-temperature high-magnetic-field microwave cavity in axion search experiments. In this study, we designed, fabricated and characterized SQUID RF amplifiers with different SQUID parameters, such as number of input coil turn, shunt resistance value of the junction and coupling capacitance in the input coil, and compared the results.

본 논문은 대칭섹터 간 주파수 재사용에 따른 주파수 간섭 감소를 위한 편파 분리 및 자원 제어방법에 대한 것이다. 기지국 장비가 운용되면서 발생하는 대칭섹터 간 주파수 간섭을 감소시키기 위한 실험을 진행하였다. 기지국 장비는 대칭섹터에서 같은 주파수를 재사용 하는 구조로 In-Band 주파수 간섭이 야기된다. 따라서 주파수 간섭을 최소화하기 위해 본 논문에서는 2가지 방안을 제시하였다. 첫 번째로 대칭섹터의 안테나 편파 분리 방법이다. 편파 분리 방법을 사용함으로 CINR이 17dB에서 27dB로 약 10dB의 향상되었다. 두 번째 방법은 기지국 링크별 자원을 제어하는 방법으로 링크별 RF 송신출력을 정렬하여 자원을 할당하는 방법과 링크별 RF 송신출력 제어범위를 조정하는 방법이 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 두 가지 방안을 사용하여 주파수 재사용하는 구조에서 주파수 간섭을 줄일 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다.

Microwave wireless power transmission (MWPT) is a promising technique for low and medium power applications such as wireless charging for sensor network or for biomedical chips in case with long ranges or in dispersive media such. A key factor of the MWPT technique is its efficiency, which includes the wireless power transmission efficiency and the radio frequency (RF) to direct current (DC) voltage efficiency of RF-DC converter (which transforms RF energy to DC supply voltage). The main problem in designing an RF-DC converter is the nonlinear characteristic of Schottky diodes; this characteristic causes low efficiency, higher harmonics frequency and a change in the input impedance value when the RF input power changes. In this paper, rather than using harmonic termination techniques of class E or class F power amplifiers, which are usually used to improve the efficiency of RF-DC converters, we propose a new method called "optimal input impedance" to enhance the performance of our design. The results of simulations and measurements are presented in this paper along with a discussion of our design concerning its practical applications.
