In this paper, Mixer using the direct-conversion method intended to use in front-end of a RF receiver is designed. The direct conversion Mixer is an alternative wireless receiver architecture to the well-established superheterodyne, particularly for high integration, low power, and low cost. It operates at 2.4GHz band, and is designed and simulated with a 0.35um CMOS technology and HSPICE simulator. Layout is implemented with a Mentor IC Station. The 2.4GHz CMOS Mixer employs a modified single-balanced Gilbert Cell with additional MOSFET in the output stages to improve IIP2, which is a standard of linearity in direct conversion receiver. Additional coversion-stages's transconductances are controlled by each MOSFET's physical properties. The HSPICE simulation results show that the 2.4GHz CMOS Mixer has voltage gam of 29dB, IIP2 of 63dBm, respectively. The Mixer also draws 3.5mA from a 3.3V supply.

[ $ZnWO_4$ ] shows excellent frequency selectivity due to its high quality factor($Q{\times}f$) at microwave frequencies. However, in order to use $ZnWO_4$ as multilayered wireless communication components, its other properties such as sintering temperature($1050^{\circ}C$), ${\tau}_f$ ($-70ppm/^{\circ}C$) and ${\varepsilon}_r(15.5)$ should be modified. In present study, $TiO_2$ and LiF were used to improve the microwave dielectric and sintering properties of $ZnWO_4$. $TiO_2$ additions to $ZnWO_4$ changed ${\tau}_f$ from negative to positive value, and also increased ${\varepsilon}_r$ due to its high ${\tau}_f$ ($+400ppm/^{\circ}C$) and ${\varepsilon}_r$(100). At 20 mol% $TiO_2$ addition, ${\tau}_f$ was controlled to near zero $ppm/^{\circ}C$ with ${\varepsilon}_r=19.4$ and $Q{\times}f=50000GHz$. However, the sintering temperature was still high to $1100^{\circ}C$. LiF addition to the $ZnWO_4+TiO_2$ mixture was greatly reduced the sintering temperature from $1100^{\circ}C$ to $850^{\circ}C$ due to liquid phase formation. Also LiF addition decreased the ${\tau}_f$ value due to its high negative ${\tau}_f$ value. Therefore, by controlling the $TiO_2$ and LiF amount, temperature stable LTCC material in the $ZnWO_4$-TiO_2-LiF$ system could be fabricated.

The technology of Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a possible solution to interwork flexibly between various wireless transport protocols. Ubiquitous network, like u-health service network, includes sensor devices or nodes which do not facilitate all the same transport protocols to access network. As such this may be in such unreachable situations as poverty of all required AP (Access Point)’s, faults or contention in a path of particular protocol communication, etc. This paper presents research results of modeling and simulation to analyze transport performance of multi-protocol ubiquitous network which includes SDR-based interwork nodes and congestion-controlled AP’s. Focusing mainly on dynamics of overall transport performance rather than protocol execution procedures, this paper employs the Zeigler’s DEVS (Discrete Event Systems Specification) methodology and DEVSim++simulation environment to experiment.

In this paper, the dual-band compact broad bandpass filter using parallel coupled line is proposed. The proposed filter has reduced size and can be controlled bandwidth. And it is also possible to operate in the dual-band purpose. Futhermore, the inserted bandstop fiilter with T-type configuration is also possible to operate in the same purpose. The dual-band bandpass filter has the first operating frequencies and its bandwidth which are 5.8 GHz and 60 % respectively and the second operating frequency and the bandwidth are 16.2 GHz and 60 % respectively. The insertion loss and the return loss of the first frequency has 0.4 dB and 17.4 dB and the insertion loss and the return loss of the second frequency has 0.62 dB and 19.8 dB, respectively.

In radio communication technology, SDR(Software Defined Radio) technology is emerging as a trendy technology for future. SDR is expected to change existing radio systems including central hardware. SDR is equipment that wireless parameters (frequency, modulation, additional service, power level, receive sensitivity, etc.) are controlled by software. In the world, equipments using the new technology are spreading. Not only equipments being imported but also local manufacturers are making this equipment, developing software and offering upgraded service. In the future, as SDR spreads and users choose the service, diverse equipments will be developed through competition and individual development. This diversity of equipment and services will introduce problems in compatibility and interoperation issues. So the government will have to make technical standard for SDR service and will have to make theses standards available to users and manufacturers alike. Therefore I am investigating the elements that can be used to establish these standards.

In autonomous navigation of a mobile vehicle or a mobile robot, localization calculated from recognizing its environment is most important factor. Generally, we can determine position and pose of a camera equipped mobile vehicle or mobile robot using INS and GPS but, in this case, we must use enough known ground landmark for accurate localization. hi contrast with homography method to calculate position and pose of a camera by only using the relation of two dimensional feature point between two frames, in this paper, we propose a method to calculate the position and the pose of a camera using relation between the location to predict through perspective transform of 3D feature points obtained by overlaying 3D model with previous frame using GPS and INS input and the location of corresponding feature point calculated using KLT tracking method in current frame. For the purpose of the performance evaluation, we use wireless-controlled vehicle mounted CCD camera, GPS and INS, and performed the test to calculate the location and the rotation angle of the camera with the video sequence stream obtained at 15Hz frame rate.

This study implemented a remote control system using PDA based on WINDOWS CE. NET. In existing remote control systems, the user generally controls remote objects and obtain data using a computer, which is a local system connected to the internet, and the remote objects are connected to server computers. In order to control remote objects, the user has to have a computer, a space to use the Internet, and wired internet. The system proposed in this study uses an embedded board as a server and PDA as a client. Thus, the user can control remote objects at any place as long as wireless internet is available. In addition, because an embedded board is used as a server, the system has the characteristics of high performance and low power consumption. The proposed system provides not only remote control environment using PDA but also conventional control environment using a computer as a client. In case PDA is not available, remote objects still can be controlled from any place as long as there are wired internet and a computer.

This paper presents a frequency synthesizer(FS) for 5.2GHz/2.4GHz dual band wireless applications which is designed in a standard $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS1P6M process. The 2.4GHz frequency is obtained from the 5.2GHz output frequency of Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) by using the Switched Capacitor (SC) and the divider-by-2. Power dissipations of the proposed FS and VCO are 25mW and 3.6mW, respectively. The tuning range of VCO is 700MHz and the locking time is $4{\mu}s$. The simulated phase noise of PLL is -101.36dBc/Hz at 200kHz offset frequency from 5.0GHz with SCA circuit on.

In this paper, multi-legged robot was designed and produced using stable walking pattern algorithm. The robot had embedded camera and wireless communication function and it is possible to recognize both hand posture and obstacles. The algorithm decided moving paths, and recognized and avoided obstacles through Hough Transform using Edge Detection of inputed image from image sensor. The robot can be controlled by hand posture using Mahalanobis Distance and average value of skin's color pixel, which is previously learned in order to decide the destination. The developed system has shown obstacle detection rate of 96% and hand posture recognition rate of 94%.
