This letter presents a compact 2.5 Gb/s burst-mode receiver using the first reported monolithic amplifier IC developed with 0.25 ${\mu}m$ SiGe BiCMOS technology. With optimum avalanche photodiode gain, the receiver module can obtain a fast response, high sensitivity and wide dynamic range, satisfying the overhead timing and various power specifications for a 2.5 Gb/s next-generation passive optical network (PON), as well as a legacy 1.25 Gb/s PON in the upstream.

This paper describes design and fabrication issues of the SiP(System in Package) one-chip for a portable digital broadcasting receiver. It includes RF tuner chip, demodulator chip and passive components for the receiver system. When we apply the SiP one-chip technology to the broadcasting receiver, the system board size can be reduced from $776mm^2$ to $144mm^2$. SiP one-chip has an advantage that the area reduces more 81% than separated chips. Also the sensitivity performance advances -1dBm about 36 channels in the RF weak electric field, the power consumption reduces about 2mW and the C/N keeps on the same level.

We propose a novel, tiny optical receiver engine utilizing an all-in-one package based on embedded optics technology. The package's best transmission S21 and reflection S22 opto-electric (OE) bandwidths are 49.8 GHz and 34.9 GHz, respectively, and the reflectance of the optical engine is below -31.7 dB for all channels. The engine satisfies the MIL-STD-883G standard for reliability tests, such as mechanical and thermal shock, and vibration resistance. The sensitivity after 10 km single-mode fiber (SMF) transmission is below -8 dBm. The optical receiver engine is cost-competitive and applicable for 400G coarse wavelength division multiplexing 4 (CWDM4) 10 km optical transceivers.

Background: The Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) and the Fullerton Advanced Balance (FAB) scale were used to assess balance function in patients with balance problem. These multidimensional clinical balance scales provide information about potential risk factors for falls. Objects: The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the predictive properties of the PBS and FAB scales relative to fall risk in children with cerebral palsy (CP) using a receiver operating characteristic analysis. Methods: In total, 49 children with CP (boy=21, girl=28) who were diagnosed with level 1 or 2 according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System participated in this study. The PBS and FAB were performed, and verified cut-off score, sensitivity, specificity, and the area of under the curve (AUC). Results: In this study, the PBS scale was as a predictive measure of fall risk, but the FAB was not significant in children with CP. A cut-off score of 45.5 points provided optimal sensitivity of .90 and specificity of .69 on the PBS, and a cut-off score of 21.5 points provided optimal sensitivity of .90 and specificity of .62 on the FAB. Both scales showed moderately accurate of AUC with .79 and .76, respectively. Conclusion: The PBS is a useful screening tool for predicting fall risk in children with cerebral palsy, and those who score 45.5 or lower indicate a high risk for falls and are in need of balance intervention.

논문에서는 전자파(EMFs) 측정을 위한 광대역 3축 등방성 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 제안된 3축 안테나의 각축에 따른 개별 안테나는 등방성 특성을 가지며, 임의의 안테나 축을 선택하기 위하여 RF 스위치를 사용하였다. 또한, 안테나의 이득 개선 및 잡음성분을 억제하기 위하여 각 축에 저항을 삽입하였고, 각 다이폴 안테나의 포트 임피던스는 발룬을 사용하여 정합하였다. 안테나의 성능 검증을 위하여, 표준전자기장을 만들어주는 GTEM Cell를 사용하여 antenna factor 및 수신감도를 도출하였다. 결과적으로, 제작된 3축 등방성 안테나는 0.03~3 GHz의 넓은 동작주파수 범위 내에서 수신감도 0.12~4.2 mV/m, VSWR(typical)은 3.3:1 이하이다.

Background: The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the Fullerton Advanced Balance (FAB) scale have been used to assess balance function in patients with chronic stroke. These clinical balance scales provide information about potential risk factors for falls. Objects: The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of and risk factors of falls and compare the predictive values of the BBS and FAB scale relative to fall risk in patients with stroke through receiver operating characteristic analysis. Methods: Sixty-three patients with stroke (faller=34, non-faller=29) who could walk independently for 10 meters participated in this study. The BBS and FAB scale were administered. Then, we verified the cut-off score, sensitivity, specificity, and the area of under the curve. Results: In this study, the BBS and FAB scale did not predict fall risk in patients with stroke in the receiver operator characteristic curve analysis. A cut-off score of 37.5 points provided sensitivity of .47 and specificity of .35 on the BBS, and a cut-off score of 20.5 points provided sensitivity of .44 and specificity of .45 on the FAB scale. Conclusion: The BBS and FAB scale were not useful screening tools for predicting fall risk in patients with stroke in this study, but those who scored 37.5 or lower on the BBS and 20.5 or lower on the FAB scale had a high risk for falls.

In this paper, we discuss the recent trends on the passive UHF RFID tag chip design techniques and several important system parameters. We also summarize link budget studies on both conventional and modem UHF RFID communications. The paper highlights the reverse link limited case, which has known to be the minor concern if reader continuous wave (CW) can reach the tag in sufficient level. This makes sense when the tag sensitivity is rather high (over 10-12${\mu}W$); however, since the tag chip fabrication technologies have been developed by time, the tag chip threshold levels are now less-dominant in determining link margin. If the tag limitation can be alleviated, the forward link limited case can be resolved; thus, we rather focus on the path-loss problem. Since the path-losses are still exist in both forward and reverse links, and it can be doubled while CW travels the reader-tag-reader path because forward link and reverse link are on the same distance. Consider if reader receiver sensitivity is very high in the worst case. In this case, weaken tag response (i.e., backscatters) cannot reach the level that reader receiver can process tag data; bit-error rate can be higher. Overall, backscatter levels should be high enough so that reader receiver can correctly function. After discussing link budget, we carried out practical measurements on fading effects between two circularly polarized UHF RFID antennas in a small scale area.
