We present the results on the applicability of the polycrystalline AIN thin films for a surface acoustic wave filter operating at 800 MHz frequency. The films show the FWHM of 3 .deg. from th X-ray rocking curve, which indicates that the c-axis of the films is pre- ferentially oriented along the growth direction. The fabricated band pass filters exhibit the center frequency of 865 MHz with 3dB band-width of 45 MHz. From the measured frequency response, the electro-mechanical coupling constant of 0.8% and the SAW velocity of 5,709 m/s are obtained. Thus, we conclude that the sputtered AIN films are feasible for the fabrication of uper UHF band SAW filters.

A bandpass sampling technique, which is a method directly downconverting a bandpass signal to a baseband or a low IF signal without analog mixers, can be an alterative choice for the SDR system to minimize the RF front-end. In this paper, a complex bandpass sampling technique for two bandpass-filtered signals is proposed. We derived generalized formulae for the available sampling range, the signal's IF and the minimum sampling frequency taking into consideration the guard-bands for the multiple RE signals. Thru the simulation experiments, the advantages of the . complex bandpass sampling over the pre-reported real bandpass sampling are investigated for applications in the SDR design.

The current fast-growing Internet traffic is demanding more and more network capacity. Photonic packet switching offers high-speed, data rate/format transparency, and configurability, which are some of the important characteristics needed in future networks supporting different forms of data. In this paper, we define that optical backbone networks for IP transport consist of optical packet core switches and optical fibers. We propose a multi-link photonic packet switch managing as single media which unifies the whole bandwidth of multiple wavelengths on the optical fiber in the WDM optical networks. The proposed switch uses optical packet memories of output link equally as well as using the WDM buffer. So it cuts down the required number of buffers and realizes of the optical packet memory economically.

At Power amplifier, distortion of output is appeared because of non-linearlity, so we must study method of compensation for non-linearity. In this paper, it was studied about the characteristic of predistorter using serial schottky diode for an amplifier. As a result, we confirmed that power amplifier was able to linearize when we put predistorter using non-linearity of schottky diode before power amplifier. When input carrier level was low, input carrier was delivered directly into power amplifier but input carrier level was high, input carrier was delivered into power amplifier through predistorter with suppressed level. As a result power amplifier always was at saturation region. Through simulation using serenade 8.0, we have concluded that efficiency was improved about 3%, and predistorter got best linearity at 1.8㎓ between 800㎒∼2.2㎓.

In this paper, we propose a new compensation scheme for combined channel distortions and RF impairments based on the analysis of the impacts of IQ(In-phase/Quadrature) imbalance and phase noise on the OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system in the direct conversion transceiver and frequency selective fading channel distortion. The proposed scheme estimates the combined distortion by the use of training symbols and the residual distortion by pilot symbols and compensates the combined distortion, including IQ imbalance, phase noise and multipath fading at the same time. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme compensates the combined distortion of IQ imbalance, phase noise and multipath fading simultaneously.

In this paper, a novel CMOS high Q factor 2-port active inductor has been proposed. The proposed circuit is designed by cascading basic gyrator-C structural active inductors and attaching the feedback LC resonance circuit. This LC resonator can compensate parasitic capacitance of transistor and can improve Q factor over wide frequency range. The proposed circuit was fabricated and simulated using 65 nm Samsung RF CMOS process. The fabricated circuit shows inductance of above 2 nH and Q factor higher than 40 in the frequency range of 1~6 GHz.

This paper deals with multiresolution analysis of wavelet transform for partial discharge(PD), composite discharge(corona + surlace discharge). Multiresolution analysis was used for performing discrete wavelet transform PD signals was decomposed into "approximation" and "detail" cOmpJnents until 4 levels by using discrete wavelet analysis. In this paper, daubechies family is adopted for the research of the characteristics of PD signals. 1be results show that in corona discharge the segment 7, 8, 9, 10, 1] values of defined variable is increased with discharge process, so phase distribution is characterized by 210~330 ranges. In case surface discharge in expoxy insulator inserted, defined variable values is fairly symmetric chscharge pattern because coupled both corona and dielectric oounded discharges. We can confimJly discriminate the type of PD source.

In this paper, we propose an implementation and an algorithm of 'Jitter and Glitch Removing Circuit' for UHF RFID reader system based on ISO/IEC 18000-6C standard. We analyze the response of TI(Texas Instrument) Gen2 tag with a reader using the proposed algorithm. In ISO/IEC 18000-6C standard, a bit rate accuracy(tolerance) is up to +/-22% during tag-to-interrogator communication and +/-1% during interrogator-to-tag communication. In order to solve tolerance problems, we implement the Jitter and Glitch Removing Circuit using the concept of tolerance and tolerance-accumulation instead of PLL(DPLL, ADPLL). The main clock is 19.2MHz and the LF(Link Frequency) is determined as 40kHz to meet the local radio regulation in korea. As a result of simulations, the error-rate is zero within 15% tolerance of tag responses. And in the case of using the adaptive LF generation circuit, the error-rate varies from 0.000589 to zero between 15% and 22% tolerance of tag responses. In conclusion, the error-rate is zero between 0%-22% tolerance of tag response specified in ISO/IEC 18000-6C standard.

Low power consumption is crucial for medical implantable devices. A low-power 4th-order band-pass Gm-C filter with distributed gain stage for the sensing stage of the implantable cardiac pacemaker is proposed. For the implementation of large-time constants, a floating-gate operational transconductance amplifier with current division is employed. Experimental results for the filter have shown a SFDR of 50 dB. The power consumption is below $1.8{\mu}W$, the power supply is 1.5 V, and the core area is $2.4\;mm{\times}1.3\;mm$. The filter was fabricated in a 1-poly 4-metal $0.35-{\mu}m$ CMOS process.
