Conservation of energy and fuel is the trend in smart building design. Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) technology is often used in temperature sensing and signal transmission to manage indoor temperature, but it is rarely applied to the shell of the building. Heat retention and poor insulation in building shells are the largest causes of high energy consumption by indoor air conditioning. Through combining RFIC technology with temperature sensors, this study will develop smart temperature information material that can be embedded in concrete. In addition to accurately evaluating the effectiveness of shell insulation material, the already-designed Building Physiology Information System can monitor long-term temperature changes, leading to smarter building health management.

In this paper, we investigate the impact of hardware impairments (HWIs) on the performance of a downlink massive MIMO system. We consider a single-cell system with maximum ratio transmission (MRT) as precoding scheme, and with all the HWIs characteristics such as phase noise, distortion noise, and amplified thermal noise. Based on the system model, we derive closed-form expressions for a typical user data rate under two scenarios: when a common local oscillator (CLO) is used at the base station and when separated oscillators (SLOs) are used. We also derive closed-form expressions for the downlink transmit power required for some desired per-user data rate under each scenario. Compared to the conventional system with ideal transceiver hardware, our results show that impairments of hardware make a finite upper limit on the user's downlink channel capacity; and as the number of base station antennas grows large, it is only the hardware impairments at the users that mainly limit the capacity. Our results also show that SLOs configuration provides higher data rate than CLO at the price of higher power consumption. An approach to minimize the effect of the hardware impairments on the system performance is also proposed in the paper. In our approach, we show that by reducing the cell size, the effect of accumulated phase noise during channel estimation time is minimized and hence the user capacity is increased, and the downlink transmit power is decreased.

본 논문에서는 WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network)환경하에서 운용되는 인체 무선 통신기술로서, ZCD (Zero Correlation Duration) 코드기반의 WBAN용 Ultra Wide Band(UWB)변복조기술을 제시하고, WBNA채널환경하에서의 모의실험 및 성능분석을 통하여, ZCD-UWB통신기술이 인체 무선통신용 기술로서도 유용하게 활용될수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 UWB변복조 기술을 인체에 적용하여 RFIC화 할 경우에 고려할수 있는 사례를 소개하고 검토사항을 간략히 제시함으로써, 인체 무선통신용 UWB통신소자의 RFIC화의 가능성을 제시하였다.

현재 RFIC를 위해 실리콘 기판상에 구현되는 인덕터의 Q 값은 12 이하로 알려져있기 때문에, 고성능 회로설계를 위해서는 더욱 높은 Q 값을 갖는 인덕터의 구현이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 본드와이어를 이용하여 높은 Q 값을 가지는 두 개의 인덕터를 제안하였고, 동일한 인덕터에 PGS를 적용하여 총 4가지 형태의 인덕터를 구현하였다. 제안된 본드와이어 인덕터는 일반적인 금속선로보다 넓은 단면적 때문에 상대적으로 작은 도체 손실을 갖고, 인덕터의 상당부분이 공기 중에 위치하므로 기생 캐패시턴스 성분을 줄일 수 있다. 해석 및 측정결과 1.5 GHz 에서 기존의 나선형 인덕터보다 상당히 개선된 15이상의 Q 값을 가짐을 확인하였다. 또한 자동 본딩 머신을 사용하여 구현하기 때문에, 동일한 형태의 인덕터를 반복적으로 쉽게 만들 수 있다.
