This paper describes a read-only CMOS transponder IC for RFID applications. A full-wave rectifier implemented using NMOS transistors supplies the transponder with a dc supply voltage using the magnetic field generated from a reader. A 64-bit ROM has been designed for a data memory. Front-end impedance modulation and Manchester coding are used for transmitting the data from the transponder memory to the reader. A new damping circuit which has almost constant damping rate under the variations of the distance between the transponder and the reader has been employed for impedance modulation. The designed circuit has been fabricated using a 0.65${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$2-poly, 2-metal CMOS process. Die area is 0.9mm$\times$0.4mm. Measurement results show that it has a constant damping rate of around 20~25% and a data transmission rate of 3.9kbps at a 125KHz RF carrier. The power required for reading operation is about 100㎼. The measured reading distance is around 7cm.

This paper describes a COMS IF transceiver IC for 10-MHz bandwidth wireless local loops. It interfaces between the RF section and the digital MODEM section and performs the IF-to-baseband (Rx) and baseband-to-IF (Tx) frequency conversions. The chip incorporates variable gain amplifiers, phase-locked loops, low pass filters, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters. It has been implemented in a 0.6 -${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ 2-poly 3-metal CMOS process. The phase-locked loops include voltage-controlled oscillators, dividers, phase detectors, and charge pumps on chip. The only external complonents are the filter and the varactor-tuned LC tank circuit. The chip size is 4 mm $\times$ 4 mm and the total supply current is about 57 mA at 3.3 V.

A fully integrated multistandard multiband CMOS mobile TV tuner with small silicon area and low power consumption is proposed for receiving multiple mobile digital TV signals and FM signal. In order to reduce the silicon area of the multistandard multiband receiver, other RF front-end circuits except LNAs are shared and a local oscillator (LO) signal generation architecture with a single VCO for a frequency synthesizer is proposed. To reduce the low frequency noise and the power consumption, a vertical NPN BJT is used in an analog baseband circuits. The RF tuner IC is implemented in a $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The RF tuner IC satisfies all specifications for DVB-H/T, T-DMB, and ISDB-T with a sufficient margin and a successful demonstration has been carried out for DVB-H/T, T-DMB, and ISDB-T with a digital demodulator.

This paper presents a new RF testing scheme based on a design-for-testability (DFT) method for measuring functional specifications of RF integrated circuits (IC). The proposed method provides input impedance. gain, noise figure. input voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) and output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a low noise amplifier (LNA). The RF test scheme is based on theoretical expressions that produce the actual RF device specifications by output DC voltages from the DR chip.

In this paper, a new testing technique for core components of wireless transceiver was proposed. That was, band fault models (including the information of specifications in the analogue and RF IC) and methods which can test specifications in the time domain easily by observing a variation of band fault models in the circuit output were proposed and developed. This technique had an advantage over testing technique in frequency domain because it didn't need expensive test equipments and could reduce the time required. Test technique proposed in this paper was adapted to the test of 5.25 GHz low noise amplifier and proved that this testing technique was efficient in RF IC including low noise amplifier.

모바일과 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크 센서 시대가 도래함에 따라 가볍고, 작고, 얇고, 멀티기능을 구현할 수 있는 부품에 대한 요구가 증대하고 있다. 이에 대한 여러 가지 솔루션 중 MCM의 개념을 수직 방향으로 확장시킨 3D IC가 최근 각광을 받고 있다. 이는 물리적인 한계에 부딪힌 반도체 집적 공정의 한계를 극복하여 지속적으로 무어의 법칙에 맞춰 집적도를 향상시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 소재와 공정이 달라도 3차원적으로 집적이 가능하여 메모리와 프로세서로 대표되는 디지털 칩뿐만 아니라 아날로그/RF, 수동소자, 전력소자, 센서/액추에이터, 바이오칩 등을 하나로 패키징 할 수 있는 장점이 있기 때문이다. 이를 통해 성능 향상, 경박단소, 저비용의 부품 개발이 가능하기 때문에 미국, 유럽, 일본 등 선도국뿐만 아니라 싱가포르, 타이완, 중국 등에서도 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있으며 CMOS 이미지 센서 모듈 생산에 TSV 기술이 이미 적용되고 있다. 본 고에서는 3D IC를 위한 TSV 및 적층 요소 기술을 소개하고 이를 통해 개발된 사례와 표준화 동향에 대하여 소개하고자 한다.
