Generally, SAW device, which uses Time Domain Sampling, requires high speed A/D converter because SAW device using TDS needs high sampling speed as much as its high data speed. However, the high price of A/D converter discourages makers from using it. On the other hand, SAW device, which uses Frequency Domain Sampling, does not required high speed A/D converter because SAW device using FDS does not need high sampling speed. It is very efficient in price comparison to its performance because high processing speed of SAW device using FDS can be implemented using low price Embedded Systems. The purpose of the paper is to solve the issues above by designing and realizing SAW device(FDS) using SAW sensor for TDS.

A surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor for the detection of odorants has been constructed by depositing various phospholipids and fatty acids onto the surface of the SAW device. The characteristics of a SAW device operating at 310 MHz deposited with silicon monoxide were analyzed. Menthone, amylacetate, acetoin, and other organic gases show different affinities to the coated lipids. An explanation is given for different odorant affinities based on the monolayer properties of phospholipids. The identification of odorants depending on the tkpe of lipid used for coating is discussed in terms of the similarity of their normalized resonant frequency shift patterns. Using a number of different lipid-coated SAW devices, odorants can be identified by a computerized pattern recognition algorithm.

In this paper, the improved power durability test system and method for an reliability analysis of SAW device is proposed and the failure mechanism through failure analysis is analyzed. As a result of the failure analysis using microscope, SEM and EDX, the failure mechanism of the SAW device is electromigration due to joule heating under high current density and high temperature condition. The electromigration makes voids and hillocks in the IDT electrode and the voids and hillocks can lead to short circuit and open circuit faults, respectively, increasing the insertion loss of an SAW filter. The accelerated life testing of the SAW filter for 450MHz CDMA application using the proposed power durability test system and method is carried out. $B_{10}$ lifetime of the SAW filter using Eyring model and Weibull distribution is estimated as about 98,500 hours.

A surface acoustic wave(SAW) sensor for the detection of odorants has been constructed by depositing various phospholipids and fatty acids onto the surface of the SAW device. Applying the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. it was possible to deposit the optimal number of layer which was found to be between 10 and 20.

본 연구에서는 1, 2단자쌍 회로망의 임피던스 정합회로를 간단하고 빠르게 구할 수 있는 방안을 개발하였다. 우선 회로망의 전체 전달함수를 F 행열로 부터 계산하고, 이를 이용하여 양단의 부하저항 및 정합회로가 포함된 각각의 단자의 입출력 임피던스를 구하였으며, 이 식으로부터 정합용 소자의 정확한 값을 계산하였다. 본 연구의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 CDMA용 소자로 널리 사용되는 중간주파수 대역 withdrawal 가중형 SAW 필터에 본 연구의 결과를 적용하여 임피던스 정합 전후의 특성변화를 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 동시에 확인하였다 그 결과 85.38 MHz의 중심주파수에서 비대역폭이 $1.2\%$, 삽입손실이 29dB, VSWR이 80인 필터를 본 연구방법을 이용하여 정합 한 경우, 각각 $1.8\%$, 9dB, 3으로 향상됨을 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 확인하였다. 본 연구결과는 SAW 디바이스의 정합에 매우 용이하게 이용될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 일반적인 1, 2단자쌍 회로망의 임피던스 정합에도 널리 사용될 수 있다

In this paper, a fast and easy impedance matching method, which could give the impedance matching component for the general 1 or 2-port network was introduced. First, the entire network structure was defined which consists of the network part to be matched and the impedance matching part composed of inductors and capacitors. Next, the transmission matrix and input and output impedances of the entire network from the terminal impedance conditions were calculated, then the exact solutions for the matching components were obtained. To verify the efficiency of this method, this method was applied to the CDMA If band withdrawal weighted SAW transversal filter, and investigated the effects of the impedance matching before and after, through the simulation and experiment. As the result, the performance of a fractional bandwidth of 1.2%, insertion loss of 29 dB, and VSWR of 80 have improved to a factional bandwidth of 1.8％, insertion loss of 9 dB, VSWR of 3 at 85.38 MHz center frequency. The result shows that this impedance matching method could be used in the SAW devices and other types of 1 or 2-port network.

In this study, we have developed shear horizontal(SH) surface acoustic wave(SAW) sensors for the detection of immunoglobulin G(IgG) on the gold coated delay line of SH-SAW devices. As the result of the experiment, we could uniformly immobilize anti-MIgG(mouse IgG) conjugate on the surface of gold. When displaying results of immobilization on the surface of gold using G-anti MIgG conjugate and blocking buffer in frequency shift, G-anti MIgG conjugate showed frequency shift of 75.1 kHz in the initial frequency, and blocking buffer showed frequency shift of 215.7 kHz. When various concentrations of MIgG was added in 100MHz type sensor, the sensor showed 46.3, 127.45, 161.21 and 262.39 kHz frequency shift at 25, 50, 75 and 100 ${\mu}g$ MIgG concentration, respectively.

As a power durable-electrode in SAW filter, Al-1%Cu/tungsten nitride multi-layer thin film was fabricated by magnetron sputtering process. Tungsten nitride films had the amorphous phase at the nitrogen ratio, R, ranging from 10~40%. The amorphization could be controlled by nitrogen ratio, R= $N_2$/($N_2$+Ar) as a sputtering process parameter. Residual stress in tungsten nitride abruptly decreased with the formation of amorphous phase. Al-1%Cu thin film was deposited on the amorphous tungsten nitride. After the multi-layed thin film was annealed for 4 hours at 453K, the resistivity decreased as $3.6{\mu}{\Omega}-cm$, which was due to grain growth reduced crystal defects.

Touch-enabled technology is increasingly being accepted as a main communication interface between human and computers. However, conventional touchscreen technologies, such as resistive overlay, capacitive overlay, and SAW(Surface Acoustic Wave), are not cost-effective for large screens. As an alternative to the conventional methods, we introduce a newly emerging method, an optical imaging touchscreen which is much simpler and more cost-effective. Despite its attractive benefits, optical imaging touchscreen has to overcome some problems, such as heavy computational complexity, intermittent ghost points, and over-sensitivity, to be commercially used. Therefore, we designed a hardware controller for signal processing and multi-coordinate computation, and proposed Infrared-blocked DA(Dark Area) manipulation as a solution. While the entire optical touch control took 34ms with a 32-bit microprocessor, the designed hardware controller can manage 2 valid coordinates at 200fps and also reduce energy consumption of infrared diodes from 1.8Wh to 0.0072Wh.
