This paper presents a fully integrated 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS MB-OFDM UWB transmitter chain (mode 1). The proposed transmitter consists of a low-pass filter, a variable gain amplifier, a voltage-to-current converter, an I/Q up-mixer, a differential-to-single-ended converter, a driver amplifier, and a transmit/receive (T/R) switch. The proposed T/R switch shows an insertion loss of less than 1.5 dB and a Tx/Rx port isolation of more than 27 dB over a 3 GHz to 5 GHz frequency range. All RF/analog circuits have been designed to achieve high linearity and wide bandwidth. The proposed transmitter is implemented using IBM 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The fabricated transmitter shows a -3 dB bandwidth of 550 MHz at each sub-band center frequency with gain flatness less than 1.5 dB. It also shows a power gain of 0.5 dB, a maximum output power level of 0 dBm, and output IP3 of +9.3 dBm. It consumes a total of 54 mA from a 1.5 V supply.

현재 차량에서 일반적으로 많이 쓰이고 있는 변속 스위치의 방법은 전위차를 신호로하는 접촉식이다. 접촉식은 신호전달에 있어서 정확한 방식의 하나이지만 장시간 사용 시 접촉면의 노후화로 인하여 수명이 짧아진다. 비 접촉 방식으로 사용될 수 있는 자기센서를 사용 한다면 접촉면의 노후화를 해결 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 자기센서의 특징을 살려서 비 접촉식 방법으로 차량용 변속스위치에 적용 하여 기존 접촉식 방법의 문제를 해결하였다. 센서 출력 전압은 가변적인 전위차를 가지는데 스위치의 각동에 따라 통상 0mV에서 150mV의 값을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 5개의 상태 신호에 대한 두 개의 사인 신호를 사용 하였다.

A switched VCO-based UWB transmitter for 3-5 GHz is implemented using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. Using RF switch and timing control of DPGs, the uniform RF power and low power consumption are possible regardless of carrier frequency. And gate control of RF switch enables the undesired side lobe rejection sufficiently. The measured pulse width is tunable from 0.5 to 2 ns. The measured energy efficiency per pulse is 4.08% and the power consumption is 0.6 mW at 10 Mbps without the buffer amplifier.

A low-power low-cost polar transmitter for EDGE is designed in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS. A differential delta-sigma modulator (DSM) tunes a three-terminal voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) to perform RF phase modulation, where the VCO tuning curve is digitally pre-compensated for high linearity and the carrier frequency is calibrated by a dual-mode low-power frequency-locked loop (FLL). A digital intermediate-frequency (IF) pulse-width5 modulator (PWM) drives a complementary power-switch followed by an LC filter to achieve envelope modulation with high efficiency. The proposed transmitter with 9mW power dissipation relaxes the time alignment between the phase and envelope modulations, and achieves an error vector magnitude (EVM) of 4% and phase noise of -123dBc/Hz at 400kHz offset frequency.

The IEEE 802.11 DCF forces neighboring nodes of an active transmitter to switch into inactive state. This conservative nature brings frame latency at transmitter neighborhood. This work exploits the IEEE 802.11n Frame Aggregation scheme to allow simultaneous transmissions from nodes that are neighbors to each-other. This is accomplished by the synchronization of control and data transmissions in slots of fixed length. Proposed scheme reduces the frame latency and improves aggregated network throughput.

This paper proposes an alternate time-switched space-frequency block coding transmission technique for orthogonal frequency division modulation systems. There are two antennas in the transmitter but it still has only a baseband and RF and a switch that alternates between the antennas at every symbol timing. Alternating transmit symbols result in zeros that make maximal ratio receive combining possible in the receiver. Simulation results show that it provides better performance than the traditional algorithm at the expense of one additional antenna.

The reliability and accuracy of the information on control rod position are very important to the reactor safety and the design of the core protection system. In this study, a thorough investigation on the RSPT(Reed Switch Position Transmitter) type control rod position indication system and its actual implementation in the exiting nuclear power plants in Korea was performed first. A design of the control rod position indication system using reed switch for the CEDM on the system-integrated reactor SMART was developed based on the position indicator technology identified through the investigation. The feasibility of the design was evaluated by test of manufactured control rod position indicator using reed switch for SMART.
