This paper presents a single antenna radar sensor with a Ku-band radar transceiver IC realized by 130 nm CMOS processes. In this radar receiver, sensitivity time control using a DC offset cancellation feedback loop is employed to achieve a constant SNR, irrespective of distance. In addition, the receiver RF block has gain control to adjust high dynamic range. The RF output power is 9 dBm and the full chain gain of the Rx is 82 dB. To reduce the direct-coupled Tx signal to the Rx in a single antenna radar, a stub-tuned hybrid coupler is adopted instead of a bulky circulator. The maximum measured distance between the horn antenna and a metal plate target is 6 m.

The novel internal monopole chip antenna of penta-band operation for GSM850/GSM900/DCS/USPCS/WCDMA bands for mobile phones is proposed. This antenna occupies a small volume $8\times3.2\times20mm^3$ and is suitable to be embedded in a mobile phone as an internal antenna. The minimization of the proposed antenna was realized by using spiral line structure and meander line structure on FR-4 of dielectric$(\varepsilon_r=4.4)$. The designed antenna has the wide-band operation in the upper band by overlapping high order resonances. The measured bandwidth of this antenna (VSWR>3) is 150MHz$(1,030\sim1,180\;MHz)$ in the lower band operation and 650 MHz$(1,760\sim2,410\;MHz)$ in higher band operation. The measured radiation efficiency within bandwidth(VSWR 3:1) is over 50 %. The antenna has been designed by a commercial software HFSS.

In this paper, the proposed package antenna, which is meander line structure with short pin, is miniaturized to realize RF-SoP at 900 MHz RFID band. The RFID BGA(Ball Grid Array) chip is put in a cavity of LTCC Layers. The coupling and cross talk, which are happen between BGA chip and proposed package antenna, are reduced by faraday cage, which consists of ground and via fences, is realized to enhance the isolation between BGA chip and antenna. The proposed antenna structure is focused on the package level antenna realization at low frequency band. The novel proposed package antenna size is $13mm{\times}9mm{\times}3.51mm$. The measured resonance frequency is 0.893 GHz. The impedance bandwidth is 9 MHz. The maximum gain of radiation pattern is -2.36 dBi.

This paper presents a design of RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) tag antenna which is available for a vehicle's side mirror and directivity characteristics by mr body. The proposed Tag antenna is designed symmetrical structure to improve the broad bandwidth characteristic and the readable range. A proposed tag antenna($30\;mm{\times}24\;mm{\times}1\;mm$) has resonant frequency at 910 MHz and bandwidth is 780 MHz ($540\;MHz{\sim}1320\;MHz$). The chip impedance is the 16 - $j131\;{\Omega}$ and the complex conjugate impedance of commercial chip has been used for tag antenna design. In order to evaluate effects of tag antenna for side view mirror's permittivity as well as car body(conductor), radiation pattern characteristics and readable range have been calculated and measured. The optimized position for a vehicle's RFID system has been observed in the inside of a side mirror and the calculated results show good agreement with the measured results.

본 논문에서는 스마트 안테나를 적용하여 서로 다른 대역폭(1.25MHz, 5Mhz)과 서로 다른 환경(rural, urban)에서 W-CDMA 시스템의 성능을 분석하였다. 먼저 스마트 안테나 시스템의 성능을 분석하기 위해서 시·공간 상관특성을 갖는 채널이 필요하다. 이를 위해 시간 정보를 고려하기 위해 시변 선형 필터로 모델링하였고, 공간 정보를 고려하기 위하여 배열 응답 벡터를 삽입하였다. 이 때 공간적으로는 일정량의 각도 퍼짐을 갖는 부-다중경로 성분으로 구성된 한 개의 반사파가 한 방향으로부터만 수신된다고 가정하였다. 또한 한 칩 내에 들어오는 다중 경로 성분을 분리하여 가장 큰 신호 성분만을 찾아내어 원하는 사용자의 신호로 사용하는 방법으로 모의 실험을 실행하였다. 모의실험 결과, 협대역 CDMA를 사용하는 스마트 안테나 시스템보다 광대역 CDMA를 사용하는 스마트 안테나 시스템이 더 나은 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 스마트 안테나는 2D-RAKE receiver를 사용했을 때 urban area에서 보다 더 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 금속체에 RFID 태그 안테나를 부착 시 태그 인식이 가능하도록 태그 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 기존 도체 태그용 RFID 안테나는 크기가 큰 단점이 있으나, 본 논문에서는 미앤더 구조를 제안하여 안테나 크기의 소형화에 중점을 두었다. 2 개의 유전체를 결합하여 도체에서의 특성 감소를 최소화 하였고 급전부와 단락부의 간격조절로 사용된 칩 저항인 77-j100옴과의 conjugate 매칭을 유도 하였다. 태그의 크기는 30 ${\times}$ 40 mm로 기존의 태그안테나에 비해 소형임에도 임피던스 특성을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다. 대역폭은 UHF대역을 만족하는 $900MHz{\sim}921MHz$를 얻었고, 도체에 태그를 부착 후 인식거리 측정에 있어서도 기존 제품과 유사한 특성을 얻었다.

One of the approaches for reducing the size of the quarter wavelength monopole antenna is the helix and the stacked structure. This paper presents a formula for the relationship between the geometrical parameter and the operating frequency of a slacked helix chip antenna. The stacked helix chip antenna was designed for PCS/IMT-2000 dual-bands operation. The fabricated antenna uses an FR-4 substrate with relative permittivity of 4.2, and its dimensions are $15{\times}7.5{\times}0.4mm^3$. The measured impedance bandwidth (VSWR<2) is 400MHz at the operating frequency.

In this paper, the performance of DS-CDMA system with smart antenna is analyzed for different bandwidths (1.25MHz,5MHz) and different channel environments (rural, urban) in wideband multipath channel. For the analysis of smart antenna system, the vector channel having the spatio-temporal correlation is modeled as a time-variant linear filter in time, and each multipath is assumed as a reflective wave from only one direction (only one cluster) in space. Several multipath is within one chip are distingushed into each one and the strongest signal is selected, DS-CDMA system with smart antenna using wider bandwidth present better performance than that using narrow bandwidth. It is shown that the smart antenna is more effective in urban area when using 2D-RAKE receiver.
