We investigated the optimum salinity and temperature conditions for mass culture of ultra-small rotifer Synchaeta kitina. In the salinity experiment of ranging within 5 and 30 psu, the population growth of S. kitina increased continuously up to 20 psu, and then decreased over 20 psu. Their maximum density showed 390.1 inds./mL at 5 psu. A pre-reproductive phase was shortened in low salinity than high salinity. Also, the maximum offsprings and maximum lifespan and lifespan of the female were 13.4 inds. and 5.9 days, respctively at 5 psu. In the temperature experiments of ranging within 16 and $32^{\circ}C$, the population growth of S. kitina increased continuously up to $24^{\circ}C$, and then decreased over $24^{\circ}C$. The highest maximum density showed 492.8 inds./mL at $16^{\circ}C$. Their offsprings increased significantly with temperature decrease, and the maximum number of offsprings per female was 9.2 females. at $16^{\circ}C$. Their lifespan increased with temperatures decrease and the longest lifespan was to 5.5 days at $16^{\circ}C$. From these results, we conclude that the optimum culture conditions of S. kitina is 5 psu and $16^{\circ}C$.

Aerodynamic force measurements and phase-locked PIV study were carried out to check the bio-mimetic MAV applicability of a swift flight. Two-rotational DOF robotic wing model and blowing-type wind tunnel were employed. The amplitude of twist angle were ${\pm}0$, ${\pm}5$, ${\pm}10$, and ${\pm}20$ deg. and stroke angles were manipulated by simple harmonic function with out-of-phase in regards to the stroke motion. It is acknowledged that the time-varying lift coefficients in accordance with the change of the twist angle did not result in any noticeable differences, just the small decrease and delay. However, the drag exhibited that the small change of the twist angle can produce large thrust. These findings imply why a swift uses small twist angle during flight. The PIV results displayed that the delay of aerodynamic forces is highly associated with the vortical structures around the wing. It is therefore indicated that a process of designing a swift-based Micro Air Vehicle should take the twist angle into consideration, as the essential parameter.

The needs of active phased arrays antenna system is getting more increased for IMT-Advanced system efficiency. The active phased array structure consists of lots of small transceivers and radiation elements to increase system efficiency. The minimized module of high efficiency transceiver is key for system implementation. The power amplifier of transmitter decides efficiency of base-station. In this paper, we design and implement minimized module of high efficiency transceiver for IMT-Advanced active phased array system. The temperature compensation circuit of transceiver reduces gain error and the analog pre-distorter of linearizer reduces implemented size. For minimal size and high efficiency, the implented power amplifier consist of GaN MMIC Doherty structure. The size of implemented module is $40mm{\times}90mm{\times}50mm$ and output power is 47.65 dBm at LTE band 7. The efficiency of power amplifier is 40.7% efficiency and ACLR compensation of linearizer is above 12dB at operating power level, 37dBm. The noise figure of transceiver is under 1.28 dB and amplitude error and phase error on 6 bit control is 0.38 dB and 2.77 degree respectively.

In this paper, we present an ultra miniaturized voltage tuned oscillator, with HMIC-type amplifier and phase shifter, using LTCC artificial dielectric resonator. ADR which consists of periodic conductor patterns and stacked layers has a smaller size than a dielectric resonator. The design specification of ADR is obtained from the design goal of oscillator. The structure of the ADR with a stacked circular disk type is chosen. The resonance characteristic, physical dimension and stack number are analyzed. For miniaturization of ADRO, the ADR is internally implemented at the upper part of the LTCC substrate and the other circuits, which are amplifier and phase shifter are integrated at the bottom side respectively. The fabricated ADRO has ultra small size of $13{\times}13{\times}3mm^3$ and is a SMT type. The designed ADRO satisfies the open-loop oscillation condition at the design frequency. As a results, the oscillation frequency range is 2.025~2.108 GHz at a tuning voltage of 0~5 V. The phase noise is $-109{\pm}4$ dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset frequency and the power is $6.8{\pm}0.2$ dBm. The power frequency tuning normalized figure of merit is -30.88 dB.

In this paper, we implemented an on-board miniaturization antenna operating 2.4 GHz using MZR(Mu Zero Resonator). It is must be operating under the constraint that the size of the small terminal PCB should be $78{\times}38{\times}0.8mm^3$ and the size of the system should be $63{\times}38{\times}0.8mm^3$ and the size of the radiating part should be $15{\times}38{\times}0.8mm^3$. The feeding structure uses a CPW structure for stable feeding and a feeding point at the upper left of the system board. A magnetic field coupling structure is used for coupling the feeding part and the antenna. The resonance frequency of the MZR is determined by the series inductance and capacitance of the cell, so the gap between the cells, the length of the cell, the length of the interdigital capacitor, and the spacing between the radiation part and the ground plane are analyzed. The antenna was designed and fabricated using the results. The total size of the antenna including the feed structure is $20.8{\times}9.0{\times}0.8mm^3$, and the electrical length is $0.1664{\lambda}_0{\times}0.072{\lambda}_0{\times}0.0064{\lambda}_0$. The measurement result for 10 dB bandwidth, gain and directivity are 440 MHz(18.3%), 0.4405 dB, and 2.722 dB respectively. It is confirmed that the radiation pattern has omnidirectional characteristics and it can be applied to ultra small terminal antenna.

RF direct conversion structure is used for the miniaturization of equipment, an RF transmission board, Power distribution board, and a signal processing board were implemented on a single PCB, so that the function of the transmitter could be performed with a minimum device. According to the target specification, variable output of 1~10W and variable data rate of 390kbps~12.5Mbps is possible in S-Band(2,200~2,400MHz) without degradation of performance. To verify the performance of the equipment, the RF performance test and BER measurement test were performed after the equipment was manufactured. It was confirmed that the OBW, null-to-null bandwidth, 1st IMD, Spurious emission, Phase noise specification of the PCM/FM modulated signal which is presented by the IRIG standard were satisfied, and we can confirm the data received using the transmitter inspection equipment were transmitted normally without distortion.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅을 가능하게 해주는 기반기술의 하나인 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크(Ubiquitous Sensor Networks)란, 주변 사물과 환경을 인식하고 네트워크를 통해 실시간 정보를 구축, 활용토록 하는 초소형, 저전력 센서들로 구성된 무선 통신망이라 할 수 있다. 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크에서의 MAC 프로토콜은 그 특성상 기존의 MAC 프로토콜과는 달리 에너지 사용량을 최소화하여 네트워크 수명을 오랫동안 유지하도록 하는 것이 요구된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크의 수명의 최대화를 고려한 DT (Dynmic-Threshold) MAC프로토콜을 제안한다. DTMAC프로토콜은 각 노드의 버퍼에 임계값을 적용하여 전송 주기를 지연시켜 에너지 절감성을 극대화하게 되며 멀티 홉 환경에서 에너지 절감성의 효과론 더욱 높이기 위해 각 노드의 버퍼에 싱크와의 홉 수에 따른 차등적 임계값을 적용하며, 또한 이로 인해 야기되는 데이터 전송지연 문제를 해결키 위하여 긴급 데이터에 대한 빠른 전송을 보장하는 알고리즘을 포함한다.

무선 센서네트워크는 센싱 지역에 분산되어 있는 초소형 센서 노드들이 감지/처리한 데이터를 수집노드로 전송하여 원격의 사용자가 센싱 지역의 상황인지를 가능하게 하는 유비쿼터스 컹퓨팅의 기반 네트워크이다. 전력 사용이 극히 제한된 센서 노드를 이용하여 무선 센서 망을 구성, 유지하며 데이터를 수집하기 위해서는 효율적인 망의 형태와 이에 따른 네트워크 배치 전략을 필요로 한다. 클러스터 기반 네트워크의 형태는 밀집도가 높은 센서네트워크에서 데이터병합을 수행하고 노드간 에너지 소비 균형을 이루기 위한 효과적인 구조이다. 본 논문에서는 클러스터 기반의 단일 홉 전송 구조에서 데이터 수집률을 높이고 노드간 에너지 사용의 균형을 이루게 하여 네트워크의 생존시간을 최대화할 수 있는 네트워크 배치 방법을 제안하였다. 클러스터링 기법에 따른 에너지 소비 모델을 분석하고 이를 통해 노드의 적절한 밀집도를 산출하였다. 싱크로부터 멀어질수록, 센서필드의 중앙보다는 외곽에 노드의 배치를 조밀하게 배치하여 네트워크의 생존시간을 늘렸다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 효율적인 네트워크의 배치가 노드간 에너지 소비의 균형을 이루도록 하여 네트워크의 생존시간을 늘일 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 비대칭 이중게이트 MOSFET의 채널길이와 채널두께의 비에 따른 드레인 유도 장벽 감소 현상의 변화에 대하여 분석하고자한다. 드레인 전압이 소스 측 전위장벽에 영향을 미칠 정도로 단채널을 갖는 MOSFET에서 발생하는 중요한 이차효과인 드레인 유도 장벽 감소는 문턱전압의 이동 등 트랜지스터 특성에 심각한 영향을 미친다. 드레인 유도 장벽 감소현상을 분석하기 위하여 포아송방정식으로부터 급수형태의 전위분포를 유도하였으며 차단전류가 $10^{-7}A/m$일 경우 비대칭 이중게이트 MOSFET의 상단게이트 전압을 문턱전압으로 정의하였다. 비대칭 이중게이트 MOSFET는 단채널효과를 감소시키면서 채널길이 및 채널두께를 초소형화할 수 있는 장점이 있으므로 본 연구에서는 채널길이와 두께 비에 따라 드레인 유도 장벽 감소를 관찰하였다. 결과적으로 드레인 유도 장벽 감소 현상은 단채널에서 크게 나타났으며 하단게이트 전압, 상하단 게이트 산화막 두께 그리고 채널도핑 농도 등에 따라 큰 영향을 받고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
