This paper proposed a novel chip type ceramic dielectric antenna by using the advanced meander line technique that the radiational metals are formed on the face of ceramic dielectric(8$\times$4$\times$1.5 mm, alumina) and both faces of substrate(1.0 mm thickness, FR-4). The performance of the antenna model has a good agreements between measurements and computed results. Resultly, it has a 10 dB return-loss bandwidth(2.4∼2.4835 GHz) and 1.7 dBi measured radiation gain for Bluetooth application. The proposed antenna model can overcome the limited radiation of the small-sized antenna.

In this paper, an internal USB dongle antenna with a circular hook-shaped patch is proposed. The proposed antenna comprises of a circular hook-shaped patch and a monopole stub. The proposed antenna with the dimension of $10mm{\times}50mm{\times}0.8mm$ was fabricated on commercial FR-4 substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.6 and tangent loss of 0.025. The designed antenna exhibits three different resonant bandwidths, 2.4 GHz-2.5 GHz, 3.4 GHz-3.6 GHz, and 5.15 GHz-5.825 GHz. The measured radiation patterns are omni-directional at measured frequencies. Therefore, the proposed antenna is suitable for wireless USB dongle antenna that can support multiband wireless services such as WLAN, WiMAX and Bluetooth.

In this paper, we designed the bluetooth receiver using the microstrip bandpass filter and the high gain low noise amplifier with the 0.2$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS technology. A cascode inverter is adopted to implement the low noise amplifier and is one stage amplifier with a voltage reference and without the choke inductor. The designed 2.4GHz LNA was achieved a power gain of 18dB, a noise figure of 2.8dB, and the power consumption of 255mW at 2.5V power supply. Also, the microstrip receiver bandpass filter was designed that the center frequency was 2.45GHz, the bandwidth was 4% and the insert attenuation was -1.9dB. When the microstrip bandpass filter and LNA was simulated together the power gain was 16.3dB.

In this paper, MEMS embedded system design implemented the sensor events via analyzing the characteristics that dynamically happened to an abnormal status in power IoT environments in order to guarantee a maintainable operation. We used three kinds of tools in this paper, at first Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology which is a suitable protocol that provides a low data rate, low power consumption, and low-cost sensor applications. Secondly LSM6DSOX, a system-in-module containing a 3-axis digital accelerometer and gyroscope with low-power features for optimal motion. Thirdly BM1422AGMV Digital Magnetometer IC, a 3-axis magnetic sensor with an I2C interface and a magnetic measurable range of ±120 uT, which incorporates magneto-impedance elements to detect the magnetic field when the current flowed in the power devices. The proposed MEMS system was developed based on an nRF5340 System on Chip (SoC), previously compared to the standalone embedded system without bluetooth technology via mobile App. And also, MEMS embedded system with BLE 5.0 technology broadcasted the MEMS system status to Android mobile server. The experiment results enhanced the performance of MEMS system design by combination of sensors, BLE technology and mobile application.

This paper describes position tracking system of a container trailer approaching to a gantry crane for loading or unloading a container into or from a ship, respectively. Proposed position tracking system informs the trailer driver of right position to stop the car under a gantry crane. To measure the location of a trailer, we used Cricket Mote modules which adopted RF and ultrasound technology. We present an elaborate method to improve position errors occurring at sensing and calculate three dimensional position by triangulation along with how to reduce location tracking interval for real-time monitoring. The location information was transmitted to a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) periodically through Bluetooth communication for guidance of the trailer driver. In indoor and outdoor tests, position errors were less than 3 cm and location tracking interval was 0.5 second on average.

For successful implementation of multi-standard transmitter, reconfigurable architecture and component design are essential. This paper presents a reconfigurable CMOS power amplifier designed CMOS 0.25 um process. Designed power amplifier can be operated at 0.9, 1.2, 1.75, and 1.85 GHz. Also, it can be used at 2.4 GHz by using bonding wire inductor. The interstage matching network is composed of two inductors and four switches, and operation frequency can be varied by controlling switches. Proposed power amplifier can be used as a power amplifier in low power applications such as ZigBee or Bluetooth application and used as a driver amplifier in high power application such as CDMA application. Designed power amplifier has 18.2 dB gain and 10.3 dBm output power at 0.9 GHz. Also, it represented 10.3 (18.1) dB gain and 5.2 (10) dBm output power at 1.75 (2.4) GHz.

A CMOS multi-channel low-voltage current mode filter circuit is designed. The designed current-mode filter is based on linear cascode current-mode integrator that is newly proposed in this paper. When it is compared with that of the typical current-mirror type current-mode integrator, the proposed linear cascode current-mode integrator achieves high current gain and unity gain frequency. The designed filter is composed with 5th Chebyshev function and converted to active version by signal flow graph method. We verified that the designed filter can be applied to three-channel basedband, bluetooth, DECT and WCDMA with 0.51MHz~7.03MHz frequency tuning range by Hspice simulation using 1.8V-$0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology.

Beacon enables one to measure distance indoors based on low-power Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technology, while GPS (Global Positioning System) only can be used outdoors. In measuring indoor distance using Beacon, RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) is considered as the one of the key factors, however, it is influenced by various environmental factors so that it causes the huge gap between the estimated distance and the real. In order to handle this issue, we propose the adaptive ANN (Artificial Neural Network) based approach to measuring the exact distance using Beacon. First, we has carried out the preprocessing of the RSSI signals by applying the extended Kalman filter and the signal stabilization filter into decreasing the noise. Then, we suggest the multi-layered ANNs, each of which layer is learned by specific training data sets. The results showed an average error of 0.67m, a precision of 0.78.

Existing child car seats do not have a monitoring means for the driver or guardian to effectively recognize the status of whether the seat belt of car seat is fastened and whether the ISOFIX of the car seat is fastened to the inside device of the vehicle. In this paper, we propose a smart car seat system which can monitor in real time, whether the seat belt of a child seated in the car seat is fastened and whether the ISOFIX of the car seat is fastened. The proposed system has been developed with a prototype, in which a Hall sensor, magnet, Bluetooth, and display device are used to detect whether these are fastened and to display the detection results. The prototype system provides the detection results as texts and alarm signal to the display for driver or guardian' smartphone in the car in motion. With functional tests of the prototype system, it was confirmed that the detection functions are properly operated, and the detection results were transmitted to the display device and smartphone via Bluetooth within 0.5 seconds. It is expected that the development system can effectively prevent safety accidents of child car seats.
