This paper presents a design of high-efficiency and high-power class E power transmitter. The transmitter is composed of 300 Watt class E power amplifier and AC-DC converter. The AC-DC converter converts 220 V and 60 Hz AC to a 290 V DC. The generated DC voltage is directly applied to a bias of the class E power amplifier. Because the converter does not have DC-DC converter unit, it has very high conversion efficiency of about 98.03 %. To minimize the loss at the output of the power amplifier, high-Q inductor was implemented and deployed to the output resonant circuit. As a result, the 13.56 MHz class E power amplifier has a high power-added efficiency of 84.2 % at the peak output power of 323.6 W. The overall efficiency of class E power transmitter, including the AC-DC converter, is as high as 82.87 %.

In this paper the water sensor using a coaxial cavity resonator is designed and manufactured. The water sensor which can sense water drop linearly has been constructed with voltage controlled oscillator(VCO), coaxial cavity resonator, RF switch, RF detector, A/D converter, DAC and micro controller. The operating frequency range of the designed water sensor is from 2.5GHz to 3.2GHz and the input voltage and current source are 24[V/DC] and 1[A]. The designed sensor circuit includes VCO, RF switch, RF detector which varies the frequency characteristics of the devices in the high frequency of 3GHz. And so we should correct the error of the frequency characteristics of those devices in the sensor circuit. To do this, we make the reference path which switches the signals to the RF detector directly without sending it to the resonator. According to the result of simulation and measurement, we can see that there is 0-50MHz difference between simulated resonator frequency and manufactured resonator frequency.

It was virtually declared that measurement science must abandon the error analysis of measurement when ISO had published "Guide to Expression of uncertainty in Measurement" International inclination of measurement field in order to guarantee the traceability and confidence of measurement results discards the error concept and instead analyzes the measurement uncertainty. In this paper we establish a mathematical model of measurement and analyze all uncertainty factors as possible as for yielding the measurement uncertainty in the course of the calibration of RF multimeter using Transfer Standard, Thermal Voltage Converter We produce the expanded uncertainty by analyzing cable effects, correlation of thermocoupler and DC meter, DC source, RF source, attenuator, reflection coefficients and DUT.s and DUT.

A small millimeter-wave tracking radar power supply must provide stable power with minimal ripple noise and the switching frequency noise of the DC-DC converter must have a real-time self-test capability through on-the-fly monitoring without causing false alarms and ghost In this study, we developed a multi-output switching power supply with output power of more than 80% (@ 100% load) and 10 output power by adopting + 28VDC input for application to small millimeter wave tracking radar, DC-DC converter is applied for large power output and multi-output flyback method is applied for the remaining small power output. The test results show that 85% efficiency efficiency is achieved under 100% load condition.

Receiver and transmitter monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) multifunction chips (MFCs) for active phased-array antennas for Ka-band satellite communication (SATCOM) terminals have been designed and fabricated using a 0.15-㎛ GaAs pseudomorphic high-electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) process. The MFCs consist of four-channel radio frequency (RF) paths and a 4:1 combiner. Each channel provides several functions such as signal amplification, 6-bit phase shifting, and 5-bit attenuation with a 44-bit serial-to-parallel converter (SPC). RF pads are implemented on the bottom side of the chip to remove the parasitic inductance induced by wire bonding. The area of the fabricated chips is 5.2 mm × 4.2 mm. The receiver chip exhibits a gain of 18 dB and a noise figure of 2.0 dB over a frequency range from 17 GHz to 21 GHz with a low direct current (DC) power of 0.36 W. The transmitter chip provides a gain of 20 dB and a 1-dB gain compression point (P1dB) of 18.4 dBm over a frequency range from 28 GHz to 31 GHz with a low DC power of 0.85 W. The P1dB can be increased to 20.6 dBm at a higher bias of +4.5 V.

This paper explains that the RF systems for hi-directional wireless capsule endoscopes were designed and implemented. The designed RF systems for a capsule endoscope can transmit the images of intestines from the inside to the outside of a body and the behavior of the capsules can be controlled by an external controller simultaneously. The hi-directional wireless capsule endoscope consists of a CMOS image sensor, FPGA, LED, battery, DC to DC Converter, transmitter, receiver, and antennas. The transmitter and receiver which were used in the hi-directional capsule endoscope, were designed and fabricated with $10mm(diameter){\times}3.2mm(thickness)$ dimensions taking into the MPE, power consumption, system size, signal to noise ratio and modulation method. The RF systems designed and implemented for the hi-directional wireless capsule endoscopes system were verified by in-vivo experiments. As a result, the RF systems for the hi-directional wireless capsule endoscopes satisfied the design specifications.

In this paper, we propose a direct conversion double-balanced down-converter fer MB-OFDM W system, which is implemented using $0.18\;{\mu}m$ CMOS technology and its measurement results are shown. The proposed down-converter adopts a resistive current-source instead of general transconductance stage using MOS transistor to achieve wideband characteristics over RF input frequency band $3\~5\;GHz$ with good gain flatness. The measured conversion gain is more than +3 dB, and gain flatness is less than 3 dB for three UWB channels. The dc consumption of this work is only 0.89 mA from 1.8 V power supply, leading to the low-power W application.
