The design, manufacturing process, and first operating test of a high power RF source for a proton accelerator are described. A klystron amplifier system has been developed for operation at 700 MHz, 1 MW and is composed of a triode type electron gun, six cavities, an RF output window, a beam collector, and an electromagnet. The prototype klystron was constructed and tested at a reduced duty to produce the designed output RF power.

This paper describes the RF performance issues of UE for W-CDMA system based on 3 GPP specifications. The parameters of transmitter and receiver are derived from the viewpoint of RF performance. In order for UE to achieve high performance, the transceiver performance requirements such as ACLR, EVM, Peak Code Domain Error, spectrum emission mask, frequency error stability and TX power control dynamic range for transmitter and reference sensitivity level, blocking characteristics, noise figure, ACS, AGC dynamic range for receiver are considered. On the basis of the required parameters, the UE RF transceiver is implemented and then the evaluation of RF performance is accomplished through practical test scenarios.

USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) is used to provide many services such as bridge monitoring, cultural properties monitoring, river monitoring, protection of an old and feeble person, management and control of a city and circumstance monitoring, etc. A RF transceiver is needed for implementing USN. In this paper the implementation and the design of a RF transceiver for sensor nodes operating in 2.4GHz frequency band are presented. The design procedure of AGC, a receiver and a transmitter is described. And the performance of the implemented RF transceiver is also tested. The test results of receiver sensitivity, receiver dynamic range, frequency stability, phase noise, output power of transmitter, flatness and spectrum mask are presented.

RF 부가형 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링 공정을 이용하여 상온에서 Indium tin oxide (ITO) 박막을 PET (polyethylene terephthalate) 기판 위에 증착하였다. 전체 파워는 70W로 유지하고 RF/ (DC+RF) 파워율은 0 %에서 100 %까지 20% 비율로 증가시켰다. 50 %의 RF/(RF+DC) 파워율에 의해 증착된 ITO 박막에서 상대적으로 낮은 비저항을 얻을 수 있었으며, bending test에 의한 기계적 내구성 또한 가장 우수하였다.

In this paper, we design RF transceiver architecture and building blocks for impulse radio UWB system. Impulse radio UWB signal occupies the wide frequency band which is very low transmission power. So, it can minimize the interference effect with the other system. Using UWB technology, we obtain position awareness service. Therefore, we describe the RF transceiver architecture of direct conversion receiver and define the requirement of RF transceiver. Moreover, we implement a prototype RF transceiver based on the presented standard and verify a function and performance through the wireless data communication and ranging test.

In this paper, the target simulator for RF signals was developed by using VST(Vector Signal Transceiver) and set by real-time signal processing SW programs. A function to process RF signals using FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) board was designed. The system functions capable of data processing, raw signals monitoring, target signals(simulated range, velocity) generating and RF environments data analyzing were implemented. And the characteristics of modulated signal were analyzed in RF environment. All function of programs for processing RF signal have options to store signal data and to manage the data. The validity of the signal simulation was confirmed through verification of simulated signal results.

In this paper, the results of experiments conducted in indoor wired and outdoor wireless environments to reduce the interference impact of 5G mobile communication on fixed satellite services using RF Interference Reduction Module (IRM) are presented. Test results for interference signals with a 100MHz bandwidth in a wired environment demonstrate that RF IRM can reduce interference by more than 20dB in a 100MHz bandwidth. The performance of RF IRM was also tested in the S-band wireless environments. In the S-band wireless environments with interference signals having a 20MHz bandwidth, RF IRM exhibits interference reduction performance of 12-15dB, for signals with a 50MHz bandwidth, it shows 10-12dB interference reduction, and for signals with a 100MHz bandwidth, it demonstrates 5-10dB interference reduction. This paper shows that RF IRM can be used not only within transceivers but also in wireless environments to mitigate interference.

This paper presents a low-cost RF parameter estimation technique using a new RF built-in self-test (BIST) circuit and efficient DC measurement for 4.5 to 5.5 GHz low noise amplifiers (LNAs). The BIST circuit measures gain, noise figure, input impedance, and input return loss for an LNA. The BIST circuit is designed using $0.18\;{\mu}m$ SiGe technology. The test technique utilizes input impedance matching and output DC voltage measurements. The technique is simple and inexpensive.

The Transmitter part of single RF transceiver chip for an extended GSM handset application was circuit-designed, fabricated adn evaluated. The RF-IC Chip was processed by 0.8${\mu}m$ Si BiCMOS, 80 pin TQFP of $10 {\times} 10mm$ size, 3.3V operated RF-IC reveals, in general, quite reasonable integrity and RF performances. This paper describes development resuts of RF transmitter section, which includes IF/RF up-conversion mixer, IF/RF polyphase and pre-amplifier. The test results show that RF transmitter section is well operated within frequency range of 880~915MHz, which is defined on the extended GSM(E-GSM) specification. The transmitter section also reveals moderate power consumption of 71mA and total output power of 8.2dBm.

Ka-band payload of COMS (Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite) launched in June 2010 was developed by ETRI with Korean local companies and also the in-orbit test (IOT) for the Ka-band payload was carried out entirely with domestic technology. The Ka-band payload IOT consisted of the antenna pattern measurements and the payload RF performance test was performed during about 40 days from 10 days after the launch. In this paper, the IOT methods and the results for the Ka-band payload are described in detail. According to the comparisons of each IOT test result with the corresponding ground test result, we can show that the Ka-band payload IOT and verification was successfully achieved and that all Ka-band channels of COMS are to be normal.
