GaAs power MESFET's with 0.5 .mu.m gate length using a conventional UV lithography and angle evaporations are fabricated and then DC and RF characteristics are measured and carefully analyzed. The 0.5$\mu$m GaAs power MESFET's are fabricated on epi-wafers which have an undoped GaAs layer inbetween n+ and n GaAs layers grown by MBE, and by the processes such as an image reversal(IR), air-bridge, and our developed 0.5 .mu.m gate fabrication techniques. The total gate widths of the fabricated 0.5$\mu$m GaAs power MESFETs are 0.6-3.0 mm, the current saturation of them 80-400 mA, the maximum linear and RF output power of them 60-265 mW. The current gain cut-off frequencies for the 0.5$\mu$m GaAs power MESFETs varies 13-16 GHz. For the test frequency of 10 GHz the maximum unilateral transducer power gains and the power added efficiencies of the GaAs power devices are 7.0-2.5 dB and 35.68-30.76 %, respectively.

Ultrasound system is one of the complex wireless signal processing systems that are widely used in the fields of modern industry such as medical diagnostics, underwater communications, and sensor-networks. Miniaturization of ultrasound system has been raging recently. In this paper, a hybrid LNA that is suitable for miniaturization and mobile diagnostic ultrasound system has been developed. The proposed LNA has low noise figure of less than 5dB, and the feedback resistor is designed to be electrically adjusted in order to attain the impedance-matching for various ultrasound transducers. It supports the whole ultrasound frequencies from 10KHz to 150MHz frequency band and also provides sleep modes. A gain from -18.8 to -29.5 dB is achieved by adjusting each transducer to fit the system character. Power consumption can be reduced up to 90% in similar performance as compared to the existing LNA.

In this paper, we present novel analysis results of sonar communication using parametric array. We consider transducer diameter, primary frequency, difference frequency and acoustic power as analysis parameters of communication performance. We calculate theoretical BER(Bit Error Rate) and channel capacity of MIMO(Multi Input and Multi Output) communication system. By considering practical parameters, we obtain optimum difference frequency generation condition. The obtained primary frequency is 560 kHz, difference frequency 45kHz and acoustic power is 28.05Watt. For BER of $10^{-4}$, the range gain of parametric array communication is 3.35km compared to primary frequency communication. For channel capacity of 10bps/Hz, the SISO and $2{\times}2$ MIMO communication range of parametric array communication are 3.8km and 3.98km respectively, while primary frequency communication range is 0.83km.

In this paper, we developed a Mac-Yule measurement system which consider psychological stable state of patience. The developed system consist with a hardware device that can derive a EEG, respiration and pulse wave, and a software which acquire a biological signal and signal processing The EEGs are derived with bipolar method from frontal head. The respiration signals obtain from nasal front with a transducer which consist with thermistor bridge. The pulse waves are detected from earlobe with photoplethysmograph method. A power spectrum of EEG are used as the decision parameters of psychological stable state of patience. The decision of Mac-Yule are defined as origin text method that of numbers of pulse to 1 respiration period. As the results of experiment with developed system, we could have a spectrum band discretion of EEG signal, stable respiration signal detection and automatic gain controlled pulse signal with realtime. And then, we could detect Mac-Yules from processed signals.
