본 논문에서는 휴대용 UHF대역 RFID 시스템을 위한 선형 테이퍼드 슬롯 정류 안테나를 제안하였다. 제안한 정류 안테나는 별도의 유전체 기판을 사용하지 않기 때문에, 얇은 금속 두께로 평판형 안테나를 구현하였다. 정류 안테나는 입력 RF전력을 출력 DC전압으로 전환하는 정류회로는 2개의 쇼트기 다이오드를 이용한 배전압회로를 이용하였으며, 선형 테이퍼드 슬롯 안테나에 집적하여 정류 안테나를 설계하였다. 배전압 정류회로와 선형 테이퍼드 슬롯 안테나의 임피던스 공액정합을 위하여, 테이퍼드 슬롯의 각도와 안테나 급전선의 길이의 조절을 통해 source-pull 방법을 이용하였다. 제안한 안테나 시제품은 자유공간 무선환경실험 환경에서 RF-DC전환 실험과 원거리장 안테나 방사패턴 측정실험을 통해 회로 및 방사 특성을 검증하였다. 최종 제안한 안테나는 중심주파수 915 MHz 기준으로 0.23-파장(75 mm)와 0.18-파장(60 mm) 크기로 소형화하였다.

본 논문에서는 발진기의 위상잡음을 개선하고 MMIC(Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit)에 적용 가능하도록 설계된 분리된 링형 DGS(Defected Ground Structure)공진기를 제안한다. 이것은 평면형 공진기로서 소형화 설계가 용이하고 상대적으로 높은 Q 값을 갖는다. 공진기를 이용하여 초고주파 발진기를 설계할 때 공진기의 등가 파라미터를 모델링하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 발진기의 설계에 필요한 공진기의 등가회로 파라미터를 공진기의 측정된 특성 값으로부터 수식적으로 계산하는 방법을 나타내었다. 방법을 검증하기 위해 공진주파수가 5.8 GHz인 링형 DGS 공진기를 제작하여 특성을 측정하고 등가 파라미터를 계산하였고, 이 결과를 ADS 도구를 이용하여 시뮬레이션한 결과와 비교하여 일치함을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 ${\pi}$형 다중결합선로와 RCR 삽입구조를 이용하여 양호한 절연특성을 가짐과 동시에, 종래에 비해 상당히 축소된 형태의 초소형 윌킨슨 전력분배기를 GaAs MMIC상에 구현하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 RCR 삽입설계법에 의해 윌킨슨 전력분배기의 선로길이가 ${\lambda}$/46까지 축소되어도 중심주파수에서 -23 [dB]의 절연특성이 유지되었으며, -8 [dB]의 절연특성을 가지는 종래의 ${\pi}$형 다중결합선로 윌킨슨 전력분배기에 비해 절연특성이 개선되었다. 본 논문에서 제안한 윌킨슨 전력분배기의 면적은 0.304 [$mm^2$]로서 GaAs상에 동일한 조건으로 제작된 종래의 윌킨슨 전력분배기 면적의 12.1%밖에 되지 않는다. 상기 윌킨슨 전력분배기는 C/X 밴드에서 양호한 RF 특성을 나타내었다.

In this work, open stubs were fabricated on a polyether sulfone (PES) substrate, and their basic radio frequency (RF) characteristics were investigated for application to RF matching components of a flexible monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC). According to the results, an open stub employing coplanar waveguide (OSCPW) on PES exhibited much lower loss than that on silicon substrate. The OSCPW with a length of $500{\mu}m$ on PES showed capacitance values of 0.031 ~ 0.044 pF from 0.5 to 50 GHz. For application to a relatively high-value capacitive matching, an open stub employing a fishbone-type transmission line (OSFTTL) was fabricated on PES, and its characteristics were investigated. The OSFTTL showed much higher capacitance values than the OSCPW due to the high effective permittivity value. Specifically, the OSFTTL on PES showed capacitance values of 0.066 ~ 0.24 pF from 0.5 to 50 GHz, which are higher than those for the open stub on silicon substrate. The above results indicate that the OSCPW and OSFTTL on PES can be effectively used for application to low/high-value capacitive matching components on microwave and millimeter wave flexible MMIC. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this work is the first report of the investigation of RF capacitive matching components on PES substrate.

In this paper, Passive Telemerty RF Sensor System using Unscented Kalman Filter algorithm(UKF) is proposed. General Passive Telemerty RF Sensor System means that it should be "wireless", "implantable" and "batterless". Conventional Passive Telemerty RF Sensor System adopts Integrated Circuit type, but there are defects like complexity of structure and limit of large power consumption in some cases. In order to overcome these kinds of faults, Passive Telemetry RF Sensor System based on inductive coupling principle is proposed in this paper. Because passive components R, L, C have stray parameters in the range of high frequency such as about 200[KHz] used in this paper, Passive Telemetry RF Sensor System considering stray parameters has to be derived for accurate model identification. Proposed Passive Telemetry RF Sensor System is simple because it consists of R, L and C and measures the change of environment like pressure and humidity in the type of capacitive value. This system adopted UKF algorithm for estimation of this capacitive parameter included in nonlinear system like Passive Telemetry RF Sensor System. For the purpose of obtaining learning data pairs for UKF Algorithm, Phase Difference Detector and Amplitude Detector are proposed respectively which make it possible to get amplitude and phase between input and output voltage. Finally, it is verified that capacitive parameter of proposed Passive Telemetry RF Sensor System using UKF algorithm can be estimated in noisy environment efficiently.

In this paper, Capacitive Telemetry RF Sensor System using Recursive Least Square (RLS) algorithm was proposed. General Telemetry RF Sensor System means that it should be "wireless", "implantable" and "batterless". Conventional Telemetry RF Sensor System adopts Integrated Circuit type, but there are many defects like complexity of structure and the limitation of large power consumption in some cases. In order to overcome these disadvantages, Telemetry RF Sensor System based on inductive coupling principle was proposed in this paper. Proposed Telemetry RF Sensor System is very simple because it consists of R, L and C and measures the changes of environment like pressure and humidity in the type of capacitive value. This system adopted RLS algorithm for estimation of this capacitive parameter. For the purpose of applying RLS algorithm, proposed system was mathematically modelled with phasor method and was quasi-linearized. As two parameters such as phase and amplitude of output voltage for estimation were needed, Phase Difference Detector and Amplitude Detector were proposed respectively which were implemented using TMS320C2812 made by Texas Instrument. Finally, It is verified that the capacitance of proposed telemetry RF Sensor System using RLS algorithm can be estimated efficiently under noisy environment.

In this paper, we have designed and fabricated a receiver module for 5.8GHz Microwave Wireless Power Transmission. The receiver module was composed of an antenna, BPF (Band Pass Filter) and RF-DC converter. The antenna was designed to RHCP (Right Hand Circular Polarization).

The integrated receiver RF module for 5.8GHz Microwave Wireless Power Transmission has been designed and fabricated. The voltage was measured to the distance of 50cm.

This paper presents a design of a transmission line negative group delay (NGD) circuit with multiple pole characteristics. By inserting an additional transmission line into a conventional NGD circuit, the proposed circuit provides further design parameters to obtain wideband group delay (GD) and to help reduce signal attenuation. As a result, the number of gain compensating amplifiers can be reduced, which can contribute to stable operation when integrated into RF systems. The multiple pole characteristics can provide wider NGD bandwidth and can be obtained by connecting resonators with slightly different center frequencies separated by quarter-wavelength transmission lines. For experimental validation, an NGD circuit with two poles GD characteristic is designed, simulated, and measured.

In this paper, a circuit for detecting a fine oscillation in an integrated PCS and W-CDMA receiver is presented. The advantages for this design are small size and flexible compatibility for system operation compared with the conventional method. The fine oscillation level can be detected by dB unit through selecting the receiver mode as PCS of 1.8 GHz range or W CDMA of 1.9 GHz range by a RF switch and monitoring the corresponding frequency band. Also, the circuit is designed to be flexible for other communication systems with the consideration of the required dynamic range of 75 dB.
