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

$LiTaO_3 (LT)$ single crystals (Y, X-axis) were grown from the congruent composition, 48.65 mole %, $Li_2O$ for SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) applications. Basic SAW filters were fabricated on the RIST prepared LT wafers (Y-cut) using phtolithography. SAW filter performance was evaluated. The results were compared of the SAW characteristics between RIST prepared LT wafer (Y-cut) and commercial Yamaju wafer (Y-cut). The SAW filter prepared on the RIST grown LT wafer was shown better SAW performances than that of Yamaju wafer.

In this study, a wireless and non-power SAW (surface acoustic wave) temperature sensor was developed. The single inter-digital transducer (IDT) of SAW temperature sensor of which resonance frequency is 434 MHz was fabricated on $128^{\circ}$ rot-X $LiNbO_3$ piezoelectric substrate by semiconductor processing technology. To find optimal acoustic reflector for SAW temperature sensor, various kinds of acoustic reflectors were fabricated and their reflection characteristics were analyzed. The IDT type acoustic reflector showed better reflection characteristic than other reflectors. The wireless temperature sensing system consisting of SAW temperature sensor with dipole antenna and a microprocessor based control circuit with dipole antenna for transmitting signal to activate the SAW temperature sensor and receiving the signal from SAW temperature sensor was developed. The result with wireless SAW temperature sensing system showed that the frequency of SAW temperature sensor was linearly decreased with the increase of temperature in the range of 40 to $80^{\circ}C$ and the developed wireless SAW temperature sensing system showed the excellent performance with the coefficient of determination of 0.99.

In this paper a SAW based AWZPSK modulator using the classical truncated cosine series functoins as a baseband pulse is described. A SAW AWQPSK modulator has been designed and fabricated on YZ-LINBO3 substrates. Measured responses meet the theoretical values with tolerable amounts of deviation. This SAW-based device shows good performance as a simple AWQPSK modulator.

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.

고주파화로 진행되고 있는 이동통신에서 사용주파수대가 고주파화로 향해감에 따라, 시스템은 소형화, 고기능화가 요구된다. 이러한 요구상황에 SAW 필터가 부응하기 위해서는 삽입손실 개선, Submicron 전극제작기술, 소형화를 위한 면실장기술 등이 앞으로 해결해 나아가야할 과제라고 생각된다. 이상으로 SAW 필터는 그 우수한 특성으로 앞으로 이동통신용 핵심부품으로 발전해 갈 것으로 생각된다. 이에 발맞추어 새로운 기술 향상과 신규시장에 대응하는 시기 적절한 상품화가 주된 관건이며, 국내업체는 위에 기술한 상황에 신속한 대응이 있어야만 세계 시장경쟁에서 살아남을 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.

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.

The aim of this study is to develop an ergonomic design of magic saw handle considering user experiences. Background: Frequent use of hand tool can cause musculoskeletal disorders by inadequate wrist posture, excessive strength, repetitiveness, friction and pressure, vibration, etc. A hand tool that is inappropriately designed has higher risk causing musculoskeletal disorders. Complaints for the design of magic saw handle has been raised by many users according to the increasing use of magic saw. Method: Hand tool has to be designed considering worker's characteristics and task condition to prevent worker's musculoskeletal disorders. For this, user experiences for magic saw handle were measured through questionnaire survey and observation. Results: An ergonomic design of magic saw handle considering user experiences was proposed and then its design suitability was evaluated in comparison with the existing handle design using EMG and subjective evaluation. Conclusion: The proposed handle design showed higher satisfaction and lower muscular fatigue. Application: The results of this study can be effectively used to develop a new magic saw.

SAW (Surface Acoustic Waves) ID (identification) tags have been designed and implemented for RFID (Radio frequency IDentification) systems. With SAW ID tag of pulse position encoding method, the data capacity increased 3 times compared with SAW ID tag of amplitude on/off method. Two different kinds of SAW ID tag receiver systems, heterodyne and homodyne receiver systems, were made. The direct conversion receiver showed better isolation property, 10 dB improvement than the heterodyne receiver to increase wireless interrogation distance.

Design of SAW ladder filters has been performed by a rather trial and error method, that is, by modifying the design variables step by step until designed performance of the filter satisfies given specifications. In this work, optimal design method has been developed that automatically determines the detailed pattern of the SAW ladder filter to meet the specification once desired performance is given. As a first step for the development, the analysis tool for the SAW ladder filter has been produced by means of the Smith equivalent circuit analysis technique, and its validity has been verified through comparison of its calculation result with experimental data. With the analysis tool, we have investigated the performance variation of the filter with the change of its design factors, and the result has led to the optimal design algorithm. Validity and efficiency of the algorithm has been checked through test design of several SAW ladder filter samples on the market.
