In this paper, on-chip antennas applicable to ultra low power wireless transceiver are designed and evaluated. Using $0.18{\mu}m$ SiGe MMIC process, 4 types of antenna with $1{\times}1mm^2$ dimensions are fabricated. The on-wafer measurement in a microwave probe station is conducted to measure the input VSWR and antenna performance of the designed on-chip antenna. Performance evaluation results show that developed antennas can be easily integrated into one-chip RF transceiver for ubiquitous applications, including WPAN and human body communications.

In this paper, a transmitter-based multipath processing and inter-channel interference (ICI) cancellation scheme for a ultra-wideband (UWB) spatial multiplexing (SM) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system is presented. It consists of taps delayed lines and zero-forcing (ZF) filters in the transmitter and correlators in the receiver. For a UWB SM MIMO system with N transmit antennas, M receive antennas, and Q resolvable multipath components, the BER performance of a linear transmit ZF scheme is analyzed in a log-normal fading channel and also compared with that of a receiver-based ICI rejection approach. It is found that when M ${\leq}$ N, the transmit ZF processing approach outperforms the ZF receiver while making the mobile units low-cost and low-power.

A hydrogen enriched CNG engine can be stably operated at ultra lean condition and reduce emission extremely. It also has advantage to increase gradually the use of hydrogen for the coming hydrogen-energy age. In this studies, the combustion and emission characteristics of heavy-duty hydrogen-CNG engine were investigated to verify the enhancement of performance by enriched hydrogen into natural gas. The results showed that a hydrogen-CNG engine could achieve ultra lean operation and low emission, while power was reduced by the decrease of intake air flow.

A frequency modulated ultra-wideband (FM-UWB) transmitter with a high-robust relaxation oscillator for subcarrier generation and a dual-path Ring VCO for RF FM is proposed, featuring low power and low complexity. A prototype 3.65-4.25 GHz FM-UWB transceiver employing the presented transmitter is fabricated in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS for short-range wireless data transmission. Experimental results show a bit error rate (BER) of $10^{-6}$ at a data rate of 12.5 kb/s with a communication distance of 60 cm is achieved and the power dissipation of 4.3 mW for the proposed transmitter is observed from a 1.8 V supply.

In this paper, we designed the COS MEMS system for sensing the falling detection and explosive noise of fuse link in COS (Cut Out Switch) installing on the power distribution. This system analyzed the failure characteristics and an instantaneous breakdown of power distribution. Therefore, our system strengths the industrial competence and guaranties the stable power supply. In this paper, we applied BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) technology which is suitable protocol for low data rate, low power consumption and low-cost sensor applications. We experimented with LSM6DSOX which is system-in-module featuring 3 axis digital accelerometer and gyroscope boosting in high-performance mode and enabling always-on low-power features for an optimal motion for the COS fuse holder. Also, we used the MP34DT05-A for gathering an ultra-compact, low power, omnidirectional, digital MEMS microphone built with a capacitive sensing element and an IC interface. The proposed COS MEMS system is developed based on nRF52 SoC (System on Chip), and contained a 3-axis digital accelerometer, a digital microphone, and a SD card. In this paper of experiment steps, we analyzed the performance of COS MEMS system with gathering the accelerometer raw data and the PDM (Pulse Data Modulation) data of MEMS microphone for broadcasting the failure of COS status.

Recent advancement in wireless communications and electronics has enabled the development of low power sensor network. Wireless sensor network are often used in remote monitoring control applications, health care, security and environmental monitoring. Wireless sensor networks are an emerging technology consisting of small, low-power, and low-cost devices that integrate limited computation, sensing, and radio communication capabilities.

In this paper, a low-power CMOS interface circuit is designed and demonstrated for capacitive sensor applications, which is implemented using a standard 0.35-${\mu}m$ CMOS logic technology. To achieve low-power performance, the low-voltage capacitance-to-pulse-width converter based on a self-reset operation at a supply voltage of 1.5 V is designed and incorporated into a new interface circuit. Moreover, the external pulse signal for the reset operation is made unnecessary by the employment of the self-reset operation. At a low supply voltage of 1.5 V, the new circuit requires a total power consumption of 0.47 mW with ultra-low power dissipation of 157 ${\mu}W$ of the interface-circuit core. These results demonstrate that the new interface circuit with self-reset operation successfully reduces power consumption. In addition, a prototype wireless sensor-module with the proposed circuit is successfully implemented for practical applications. Consequently, the new CMOS interface circuit can be used for the sensor applications in ubiquitous sensor networks, where low-power performance is essential.

본 논문은 Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) Radoi를 위한 Sub-${\mu}$W 급 저 전력 발진기 회로에 관한 것이다. 저 전력 발진기의 구조로서 Relaxation 구조와 Wien-Bridge 구조의 시뮬레이션 비교를 통하여, 소모 전류의 최소화 및 저 전력 동작에 최적인 Wien-Bridge 구조를 선택 하였다. Wien-Bridge 발진기 회로는 폐쇄 루프 이득이 ($1+R_2/R_1$) 인 비반전 OPAMP 증폭회로에 부귀환 경로로 RC 회로망이 접속 되어 있다. 이 회로망의 RC값과 증폭기의 폐쇄 루프 이득에 의해 발진 주파수가 정해지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 루프 이득 조정을 위해 일반적으로 사용하는 가변저항대신, MIM 커패시터와 MOS 버랙터를 조합한 가변 커패시터를 사용하여, 발진기의 폐쇄 루프 이득을 적절히 조절 하는 방식을 제안하고 이를 구현하였다. 폐쇄 루프 이득을 안정적으로 조절 할 수 있음에 따라 발진기 출력의 안정화를 얻을 수 있으며, 출력신호의 비선형성도 개선 할 수 있다. $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 이용해 구현된 발진기는 22 kHz 출력주파수에서 560 nA의 전류를 소모한다.
