In this paper, we present the simulation results of multi-layer VCO(voltage controlled oscillator), which is composed of resonator, oscillator, and buffer circuit, using EM simulator and nonlinear RF circuit simulator. EM simulator is used for obtaining the EM(Electromagnetic) characteristics of conductor pattern as well as designing the multi-layer VCO. Obtained EM characteristics were used as real components in nonlinear RF circuit simulation. Finally the overall VCO was simulated by the nonlinear RF circuit simulator. The material for the circuit pattern was Ag and the dielectric was DuPont 951AT, which will be applied for LTCC process. The structure of multi-layer VCO is constructed with 4 conducting layer. Simulated results showed that the output level was about 4.5 [dBm], the phase noise was -104 [dBc/Hz] at 30 [kHz] offset frequency, the harmonics -8 dBc, and the control voltage sensitivity of 30 [MHz/V] with a DC current consumption of 9.5 [mA]. The size of VCO is $6{\times}9{\times}2$ mm(0.11[cc]).

In this paper, the RF characteristics of multi-finger MOSFETs were improved by decreasing the parasitic capacitance in spite of increased gate resistance in a 90-nm CMOS technology. Two types of device structures were designed to compare the parasitic capacitance in the gate-to-source ($C_{gs}$) and gate-to-drain ($C_{gd}$) configurations. The radio frequency (RF) performance of multi-finger MOSFETs, such as cut-off frequency ($f_T$) and maximum-oscillation frequency ($f_{max}$) improved by approximately 10% by reducing the parasitic capacitance about 8.2% while maintaining the DC performance.

As high speed internet users are tremendously increasing, three are keenly in need of development of high speed portable internet technology which can provide high quality wireless internet service cheaply even in the mobile. Unlike the FDD-CDMA, TDD-OFDMA has relatively poor wave environment with inducing interference, fading and delay because it agrees to multi-carrier modulation method and time-division radio telecommunication system. To solve this problem, it is necessary to develop repeater operating by digital signal processing method which have more strict wireless channel control and wave signal processing technology over TDD telecommunication equipments. This thesis is dealing with design and implementation of Digital RF Repeater which implemented 'Synchronization Acquisition Unit', 'TDD signal switching Unit', 'Feedback Signal Cancellation Unit'. Over this argument, we will develop digital RF repeater with more cheap, more adaptive in wave environment like oscillation control, adaptive wave monitoring and output increasing and having control function as a result it will be helpful for success in high speed portable internet service business.

we have studied the characteristics of PHEMT's with gate recess etching method. The DC characterization of PHTMT fabricated with the wide single recess methods is a maximum drain current density of 319.4 ㎃/mm and a peak transconductance of 336.7 ㎳/mm. The RF measurements were obtained in the frequency range of 1~50GHz. At 50GHz, 3.69dB of 521 gain were obtained and a current gain cut-off frequency(f$_{T}$) of 113 CH and a maximum frequency of oscillation(f$_{max}$) of 172 Ghz were achieved from this device. On the other hand, a maximum drain current of 367 mA/mm, a peak transconduclancc of 504.6 mS/mm, S$_{21}$ gain of 2.94 dB, a current gain cut-off frequency(f$_{T}$) of 101 CH and a maximum frequency of oscillation(f$_{max}$) of 113 fa were achieved from the PHEMT's fabricated by the .narrow single recess methods.methods.

The next-generation AlGaN/GaN HEMT power devices need higher power at higher frequencies. To know the device characteristics, the simulation of those devices are made. This paper presents a simulation study on the DC and RF characteristics of AlGaN/GaN HEMT power devices. According to the reduction of gate length from $2.0{\mu}m$ to $0.1{\mu}m$, the simulation results show that the drain current at zero gate voltage increases, the gate capacitance decreases, and the maximum transconductance increases, and thus the cutoff frequency and the maximum oscillation frequency increase. The maximum oscillation frequency maintains higher than the cutoff frequency, which means that the devices are useful for power devices at very high frequencies.

본 연구에서는 2단계 게이트 리세스 방법을 사용하여 T-형 게이트 길이가 100 nm인 mHEMT 소자를 제작하였다. 제작한 소자는 65 mA의 드레인전류($I_{dss}$), 1090 mS/mm의 트랜스콘덕턴스($g_m$), -0.65 V의 문턱전압 ($V_{th}$) 등의 DC 특성을 보였다. 또한 차단주파수($f_T$) 190 GHz와 최대 공진주파수($f_{MAX}$) 260 GHz인 우수한 고주파 특성을 나타내었다. 제작한 mHEMT 소자는 향후에 W-대역의 MMIC 개발에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper is for improving the RF frequency performance of a fabricated 100nm ${\Gamma}$-gate MHEMT, scaling down vertically for the epitaxy-structure layers of the device. Hydrodynamic simulation parameters are calibrated for the fabricated MHEMT with the modulation-doped $In_{0.52}Al_{0.48}As/In_{0.53}Ga_{0.47}$As heterostructure grown on the GaAs substrate. With these calibrated parameters, simulations for the vertically-scaled epitaxial layers of the device are performed and analyzed for DC/RF characteristics, including the quantization effect due to the thickness reduction of InGaAs channel layer. A newly designed epitaxy-structure device shows higher extrinsic transconductance, $g_m$ of 1.556 S/mm, and higher frequency performance, $f_T$ of 222.5 GHz and $f_{max}$ of 849.6 GHz.

In this study, power AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs PM-HEMT's for mm wave's were fabricated using Electron beam lithography and air-bridge techniques, and so on.

A thermionic energy converter test station is constructed for the study of electromagnetic energy generation. Of particular interest is the frequency variations due to changes in the interelectrode gap, the electrode temperature, and the cesium vapor pressure. It is found experimentally that the most intense ratio-frequency(rf) oscillations occur at two non-overlapping regions.
