This study describes the design and implementation of TRM(Transmit and Receiver Module) for detection for targets of small RCS(Radar Cross Section). Through the pre-simulation analysis of radar system about RF, the main specifications of TRM are verified. After the fabrication of TRM, the main characteristics such as the maximum output, noise figure, spurious were confirmed. In the future, the radar system test will be carried out by assembling TRMs, antenna radiator, and the transceiver that generates and receivers the radar waveform reflected.

In this paper, we propose optical subcarrier mutiplexing(SCM) transceiver module for base station(BS) that has no optical source and can be used for full-duplex communication over single optical fiber. In this method we retransmit optical modulated signal to the central office(CO) using loop-back system with a ring type Mach-Zehnder modulator(MZM) in BS, where optical source is transmitted from the CO. We have modeled the ring type MZM and were conformed that the measured results were in good agreement with the modeling. In the ring type MZM, the optical symmetric position of the MZM is very important in RF signal transmission.

This paper presents the new development result of the multi-band, the multi-mode SDR(Software Defined Radar) platform. The SDR hardware platform is implemented by using the reconfigurable multi-band RF transceiver and antenna modules of S, X, and K-bands, and a programmable signal processing module. The SDR software platform is implemented by using the multi-mode waveform generation of CW, Pulse, FMCW, and LFM Chirp as well as the adaptable algorithm library of signal processing and open API software modules. Through the integrated test of the SDR platform, the operational performance was verified in real-time. Also, through the field-application test, the ground target and air-vehicle drone target were successfully detected and their test results were presented.

In this paper, we designed, constructed and evaluated the system for the FTTH suited to a residence and apartment using CWDM-PON techniques. These systems have capacity to service at 100Mbps rate to 384 users in the same breath. Also, the services include the internet, CATV, IPTV and wireless LAN. In the case of ire network, the data could be transmitted by UTP cable and optical fiber and case of wireless one, the data transmitted using WLAN. The distance between the cental office and the user is 20km and the data rate is 100Mbps maximum. Of course, the optical network used just one fiber optical core. For the basic material, we obtained the characteristics of optical transceiver module, Mux/Demux and transmission qualities depends on the environment.

This paper presents a lateral resistive contact RF MEMS switch using comb drive. Our goal was to fabricate the RF MEMS switch with high reliability and good RF characteristics for front end module in wireless transceiver system. Therefore, comb drive is used for large contact force in order to achieve low insertion loss and small off-state capacitance in order to achieve high isolation. The single crystalline silicon is used for mechanical reliability. As a result, the developed switch showed insertion loss less than 0.44 dB at 2 GHz, isolation greater than 60 dB, and low actuation voltage at 26 V.

In the frame of Koreasat Project, it has been identified the task to implement a pilot satellite network module to provide LAN-to-LAn in ground system for satellite links. The pilot network will support an experiment to verify the performances of the considered applications through a satellite.This paper proposes a satellite-LAN interconnecting architecture making full use of satellite benefits and counteracting satellite demerits. The architectureprovides high quality data transmission and high perfrmance for satellite bit errors by using a connection- oriented satellite protocol which can establish multiple logical links between two nodes. As a protocol conversion method, router-type interconnection was selected to guard against problems. Based on this architecture, a satellite LAN interconnecting system has been designed, which includes a 1.8 meter antenna with a 4 watt transceiver, a satellite modem and the developed satellite network interface. The system can support high speed transmission rates of up to 1.544 Mbs and superior network management as well.

Robust and high speed underwater communication is severely limited when compared to communications in terrestial. In free space, RF communication operates over long distances at high data rates. However, the obstacle in seawater is the severe attenuation due to the conducting nature. Acoustic modems are capable of long range communication up to several tens of kilometers, but it has low data-rate, high power consumption and low propagation speed. An alternative means of underwater communication is based on optics, wherein high data rates are possible. In this paper, the characteristics of underwater channel in the range of visible wavelength is investigated. And the possibility of optical wireless communication in underwater is also described. The LED-based transceiver and CMOS sensor module are integrated in the system, and the performance of image transmission was demonstrated.

To apply active RFID technology in the various kinds of industry, it needs to quickly transmit a large amount of data. ISO/IEC 18000-7 standard uses the 433.92MHz as single channel system and its transmit rate is just 27.8kbps, that is insufficient for a large amount of data transmission. To solve this problem, we designed a new data transmission protocol using 2.4GHz band. The feature of designed protocol is not only making over 255bytes data messages using the Burst Read UDB but also efficiently transmitting it. To implement this protocol, we use Texas Instruments's SmartRF04 develop kit and CC2500 transceiver as RF module. As an evaluation of 63.75kbytes data transmission, we demonstrate that transmission time of Burst Read UDB has improved as 17.95% faster than that of Read UDB in the ISO/IEC 18000-7.

In this paper, we present a design for solid-state radar SSPA with sequential bias. We apply to variable extension pulse generator to eliminate signal distortion which is caused by bias rising/falling delay of power amplifier. There is an optimum impedance matching circuit to have high efficiency of GaN-power device by measuring microwave characteristics through load-pull method. The designed SSPA is consisted of pre-amplifier, drive-amplifier and main-amplifier as a three stages to apply for X-Band solid-state radar. Thereby we made a 200W SSPA which has output pulse maximum power shows 53.67dBm and its average power is 52.85dBm. The optimum design of transceiver module for solid-state pulse compression radar which is presented in this dissertation, it can be available to miniaturize and to improve the radar performances through additional research for digital radar from now on.

This paper describes implementation of the 5.0GHz RF frequency synthesizer with 0.18${\mu}m$ silicon CMOS technology being used as an application of the IEEE802.15.4 USN sensor node transceiver modules. To get good performance of speed and noise, design of the each module like VCO, prescaler, 1/N divider, fractional divider with ${\Sigma}-{\Delta}$ modulator, and common circuits of the PLL has been optimized. Especially to get excellent performance of high speed and wide tuning range, N-P MOS core structure and 12 step cap banks have been used in design of the VCO. The chip area including pads for testing is $1.1{\times}0.7mm^2$, and the chip area only core for IP in SoC is $1.0{\times}0.4mm^2$. Through analysing of the fabricated frequency synthesizer, we can see that it has wide operation range and excellent frequency characteristics.
