We have developed an extremely sensitive radio frequency amplifier based on the dc superconducting quantum interference device (dc SQUID). Unlike a conventional semiconductor amplifier, a SQUID can be cooled to ultra-low temperatures (100 mK or less) and thus potentially achieve a much lower noise temperature. In a conventional SQUID amplifier, where the integrated input coil is operated as a lumped element, parasitic capacitance between the coil and the SQUID washer limits the frequency up to which a substantial gain can be achieved to a few hundred MHz. This problem can be circumvented by operating the input coil of the SQUID as a microstrip resonator: instead of connecting the input signal open. Such amplifiers have gains of 15 dB or more at frequencies up to 3 GHz. If required, the resonant frequency of the microstrip can be tuned by means of a varactor diode connected across the otherwise open end of the resonator. The noise temperature of microstrip SQUID amplifiers was measured to be between $0.5\;K\;{\pm}\;0.3\;K$ at a frequency of 80 MHz and $1.5\;K\;{\pm}\;1.2\;K$ at 1.7 GHz, when the SQUID was cooled to 4.2 K. An even lower noise temperature can be achieved by cooling the SQUID to about 0.4 K. In this case, a noise temperature of $100\;mK\;{\pm}\;20\;mK$ was achieved at 90 MHz, and of about $120\;{\pm}\;100\;mK$ at 440 MHz.

This problem can be circumvented. by operating the input coil of the SQUID as a microstrip resonator: instead of connecting the input signal between the two ends of the coil, it is connected between the SQUID washer and one end of the coil; the other end is left open. Such amplifiers have gains of 15 dB or more at frequencies up to 3 GHz. If required, the resonant frequency of the microstrip can be tuned by means of a varactor diode connected across the otherwise open end of the resonator. The noise temperature of microstrip SQUID amplifiers was measured to be between 0.5 K $\pm$ 0.3 K at a frequency of 80 MHz and 1.5 K $\pm$: 1.2 K at 1.7 GHz, when the SQUID was cooled to 4.2 K. An even lower noise temperature can be achieved by cooling the SQUID to about 0.4 K. In this case, a noise temperature of 100 mK $\pm$ 20 mK was achieved at 90 MHz, and of about 120 $\pm$ 100 mK at 440 MHz.

아날로그 광전송 시스템의 성능평가에 있어 광송신기의 선형성은 매우 중요한 파라미터이다. 본 논문에서는 피드포워드 보상회로를 적용한 광송신기에서 180도 하이브리드 커플러를 사용하여 위상천이기의 좁은 주파수 반응으로 인해 제한되었던 보상 대역폭을 확장한 새로운 방식의 광대역 아날로그 광송신기 특성에 대해 보고한다. 3차 혼변조 왜곡신호의 크기가 10 dB 이상 감소되는 보상 대역폭이 1.6 GHz를 중심으로 약 200 MHz 까지 확장됨을 확인하였다. 보상기법을 적용한 회로의 대역폭 측정은 네트워크 분석기를 활용하여 효율적으로 수행하였으며, 측정결과를 통해 그 효용성을 입증하였다. 디지털용으로 사용되는 저가의 레이저 다이오드를 사용하여 SFDR (Spurious-Free Dynamic Range)이 약 6 dB/Hz 개선됨을 실험적으로 확인하여 본 연구의 유효성을 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 IMT-2000 수신주파수인 2.13~2.16 GHz 대역에서 초고주파용 수신장치로 사용되는 저잡음증폭기를 ㅈㄱ렬 피드백 기법과 저항결합회로를 이용하여 구현하였다. GaAs FET(Field Effect Transistor)의 소스단에 부가한 직렬 피드백은 저잡음증폭기의 저잡음특성과 입력반사계수가 작아졌으며, 또 저잡음증폭기의 안정도도 개선되었다. 저항결합회로는 반사되는 전력이 정합 회로내의 저항에서 소모되므로 입력단정합이 용이하였다. 저잡음증폭기의 저잡음증폭단은 GaAs FET인 ATF-10136, 고득증폭단은 내부정합된 MMIC인 VNA-25를 사용하였으며, 알루미늄 기구물 안에 유전율 3.5인테프론 기판에 초고주파회로와 자기바이어스 회로를 함께 장착시켰다. 이렇게 제작된 저잡음증폭기는 30 dB이상의 이득, 0.7dB 이하의 잡음지수, 17 dB의 Pldb, 1.5 이하의 입출력 정재파비를 얻었다.

We propose a numerical scheme to simulate the time-domain echo signals at tracking radar for a realistic scenario where an EAD (expendable active decoy) and an airborne target are both in dynamic states. On various scenarios where the target takes different maneuvers, the trajectories of the EAD ejected from the target are accurately calculated by solving 6-DOF (Degree-of-Freedom) equations of the motion for the EAD. At each sampling time of the echo signal, the locations of the EAD and the target are assumed to be fixed. Thus, the echo power from the EAD can be simply calculated by using the Friis transmission formula. The returned power from the target can be computed based on the pre-calculated scattering matrix of the target. In this paper, an IPO (iterative physical optics) method is used to construct the scattering matrix database of the target. The sinc function-interpolation formulation (sampling theorem) is applied to compute the scattering at any incidence angle from the database. A simulator is developed based on the proposed scheme to estimate the echo signals, which can consider the movement of the airborne target and EAD, also the scattering of the target and the RF specifications of the EAD. For applications, we consider the detection probability of the target in the presence of the EAD based on Monte Carlo simulation.

This paper presents the architecture design, implement, experimental validation of a bistatic backscatter wireless communication system in Wi-Fi network. The operating principle is to communicate a tag's data by detecting the power level of the power modulated Wi-Fi packets to be reflected or absorbed by backscatter tag, in interconnecting with Wi-Fi device and Wi-Fi AP. This system is able to provide the identification and sensor data of tag on the internet connectivity without requiring extra device for reading data, because this uses an existing Wi-Fi AP infrastructure. The backscatter tag consists of Wi-Fi energy harvesting part and a backscatter transmitter/a power-detecting receiver part. This tag can operate by harvesting and generating energy from Wi-Fi signal power. Wi-Fi device decodes information of the tag data by recognizing the power level of the backscattered Wi-Fi packets. Wi-Fi device receives the backscattered Wi-Fi packets and generates the tag's data pattern in the time-series of channel state information (CSI) values. We believe that this system can be achieved wireless connectivity for ultra- low-power IoT and wearable device.

WDM/SCM-PON에서 상향 전송을 할 때 다수의 ONU가 단일 광 채널을 공유하여 다수의 신호를 전송할 경우에 수신부에서 잡음으로 작용하는 OBI가 발생하게 되어 전체 시스템의 성능을 악화시키기 때문에 OBI에 대한 문제 해결이 필수적인 과제이다. 본 논문은 SCM-PON에서 상향 전송을 할 때 발생하는 OBI를 헤테로다인 검출 방식으로 극복하는 새로운 방안을 제시하였다. 제안된 방식은 수신 광검출기 앞부분에 별도의 LD를 사용하여 heterodyne detection을 가능케 함으로써, OBI 성분을 검출신호와 구분되도록 하여 OBI로 인한 문제를 해결하는데 근거를 두고 있다. 또한, 가입자단에서 R-SOA를 사용함으로써 경제적인 저가형 ONU 구현을 가능케 하는 장점을 갖는다.

본 논문에서는 MEMS(Micro Electro Mechanical System) 기술을 이용하여 Microstrip 구조의 저 손실 전송라인을 제작하고, 제작되어진 전송라인을 이용하여 Ka-band 대역의 저역통과 여파기(Low Pass Filter)를 제작하였다. 저 손실 전송라인의 제작은 surface micromachining 공정기법을 사용하고 저 손실 및 넓은 범위의 특성 임피던스 값을 얻기 위하여 신호선을 유전체 지지대를 이용하여 공기 중으로 위치시켜 substrate에 의한 손실을 최소화시켰다. 제작된 전송선로를 이용하여 LPF에 적용하면 유전체 손실의 최소화로 인한 insertion loss를 줄일 수 있는 장점이 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 LPF를 다른 능동소자와 함께 구현하기 위하여서는 소형화가 필수적인데 LPF의 소형화를 위하여 접지면 부분에 slot을 형성하여 제작하였으며 제작된 결과를 그렇지 않은 경우와 서로 비교 분석하였다.

In the present study, we examined effects of ginseng saponins (ginsenosides) on pp60c-src protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity, intracellular calcium concentration ([$Ca^{2+}$]i), and cell proliferation in NIH3T3 cells. Eight different ginsenosides [ginsenoside-Rb1 (G-$Rb_1$), -$Rb_2$, -Rc, -Rd, -Re, -Rf, -$Rg_1$, -$Rg_2$) and ginseng total saponin (GTS) were used for these experiments. All ginsenosides and GTS tested stimulated the activation of $pp60^{c-src}$ kinase, and especially G-$Rb_1$,-Rd,-$Rg_1$, and -$Rg_1$ showed a higher stimulatory effect than others at 16.7 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of ginsenosides with a 18 hr-incubation, increasing the activity by 4.5, 3.5, 3.5, and 3.0-fold, respectively, over that of untreated control. In addition, both G-Rd and -$Rg_2$)Rg2 increased ($Ca^{2+}$), to 202 and 334 nM, respectively, about 2-3-fold above the basal level within 7min at 250 $\mu\textrm{g}$/yml of ginsenosides. The increases of ($Ca^{2+}$), were eliminated by Pretreatment of EGTA, an extracellular calcium chelator, suggtasting that they result from an influx of calcium ion from extracellular medium rather than an efflux from intracellular calcium store, endoplasmic reticulum (ER). All ginsenosides studied enhanced cell proliferation to 1.2-1.4-fold over that of untreated control at 5~250 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of concentrations. Interestingly the promotion of cell proliferation by ginsenosides corresponded with the activation of c-src kinase, which is an early step in the mitogenic signaling cascade. Taken together, we suggest that some ginsenosides may lead to cellProliferation via the activation of cellular signal transduction Pathway involving $pp60^{c-src}$ kinase.

In this paper, the lessons and learns are introduced from the result of the trial project which is the first CBTC(Communication Based Train Control System) at Korail Bundang Line. This project has started end of 2002 and finished recently by Samsung SDS. The main purpose of this project was that new technology was seek for next generation of railway signal control system adapted in Korea. In 2002, there was no any revenue service system using Radio Frequency CBTC in the world at that time. Just a few trial project was on going in USA and EU. In well developed cities, the metro system have been built and old enough therefore they have to be considering re-signalling their existing system with advanced system for increasing availabilities of line usage and safety. This Bundang Line Trial Project was the first Korean CBTC project for above reasons. Most sub systems have been developed using local technology such as Electronics Controlled Interlocking System and Track Circuit Systems etc. Specially, in this project the RF-Communication devices are developed by local technology using DSSS(Direct Sequency Spread Spectrum) instead of FHSS(Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum). This project has lasted for more than five years originally planned for three years because it was only accessible only night time in the main line from Ori to Suseo about 20km long. Each night only 2 and half hours are available to use the main line. Now the trial project has been done successfully with meet the customer's requirement, therefore the upgrade the mainline of Bundang line and another extension area up to Wangsipli to make revenue service using this new technology. This paper shows this result of the trial project and the strategy of upgrade and extension project as well.
