This paper describes the implementation of a ZigBee sensor node that can be utilized as a multiband and machine to machine (M2M) communication gateway. The IEEE 802.15.4-2003 standard was used as the wireless network frequency band. Ember's Type EM357 SoC was used as the transmission and reception device to perform the communication function, and it was also used for both the main M2M gateway and the sensor node. For the implementation of the operating protocol, EmberZNet Stack 4.5.4 from the Ember Corporation was used. The measurement of the reception sensitivity in the receiving module and the actual output signal from the reference were obtained from the transmission of a packet, and the packet included the M2M gateway within the attached ZigBee sensor. The packet error rate was measured as 0% with a -98 dBm reception sensitivity at the ZigBee frequency. In addition, excellent current characteristics of the ZigBee modules were shown by the implementation of the low-power circuit.

An active antenna(AA) can have wider bandwidth and more gain with small antenna size than those of passive antennas. However, AA inherently generates thermal noise and spurious signals from an active device. Moreover, the spurious performance of AA is very important in a highly sensitive receiving system since it is located at the front end of the receiving system. In this study, we developed an AA with $100{\sim}500\;MHz$, having the output P1dB higher than 3 dBm and little spurious signals in real environments. To achieve such performance, we designed an AA with 3-stage amplifier using CD(common drain) FET and 2 BJTs. Its electrical performances were simulated using ADS. The measurement results for typical gain, NF, OIP3, VSWR and P1dB in the required frequency band were 9.7 dBi, 10 dB, 14 dBm, 1.7:1 and 3 dBm respectively. They are in good agreement with simulation results. The unwanted spectrum level of the proposed AA is $10{\sim}30\;dB$ lower than that of the antenna with CS(common source) FET configuration at a west suburban area of Seoul, which shows that the proposed AA can be applicable to a highly sensitive receiving system for detecting unknown weak signals mixed with broadcasting and civilian communication signals.

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyse the differences between a customized small finger made by 3D printing technology, a real small finger, and the other made from plaster of an orthotic company. The areas and the volumes of each cross-section were measured by Computer tomography(CT) and a 3D scanner and analysis of variance was performed to find out the differences of each shape. The areas of the point of 15.69mm, Distal Interphalangel Joints, were measured 30 times respectively using the caliper toll function of Picture Archiving Communication System(PASC) program. The volumes were measured by Configure Units of Meshmixer Program. There was no significant difference in the areas between three of them and there was 0.2 mm gap in the volume, which was more than the significance probability. Therefore, the result of this study shows the availability of finger orthoses made by 3D printing technology in the medical field.

In this paper, we designed a Ku-band BPF(Band Pass Filter) by microstrip line that most usually used a microwave device design and fabrication. Here a substrate of designed BPF were silicon substrate(${\varepsilon}_r=11.8$), and metal line was copper and silver/copper structure. And a configration of BPF was used hairpin pattern. A center frequency of designed BPF was 10GHz and their FBW(Fractional Band Width) was 20%(2GHz). It presented simulated results obtained for a 10GHz filter which yields an insertion loss of 0.1dB that ripple value related chebyshev reponse. Finallt we tried to make that a 30dB attenuation frequency was 20% of center frequency.

In this paper, we present the design of Q-band LC VCO and injection locking buffer for 77 GHz automotive radar sensor using 130 nm RF CMOS process. To improve the phase noise characteristic of LC tank, the transmission line is used. The negative resistance by the active device cross-coupled pair of buffer is used for high output power, with or without oscillation of buffer. The measured phase noise is -102 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency and tuning range is 34.53~35.07 GHz. The output power is higher than 4.1 dBm over entire tuning range. The fabricated chip size is $510{\times}130\;um^2$. The power consumption of LC VCO is 10.8 mW and injection locking buffer is 50.4 mW from 1.2 V supply.

Linear size expanders have been studied in many fields for the practical use, which make it possible to connect large numbers of device chips in both parallel communication systems and parallel computers. One major limitation on the efficiency of parallel computer designs has been the highly cost of parallel communication between processors and memories. Linear order concentrators can be used to construct theoretically optimal interconnection network schemes. Existing explicitly defined constructions are based on expanders, which have large constant factors, thereby rendering them impractical for reasonable sized networks. For these objectives, we use the more detailed matching points in permutation functions, to find out the bigger expansion constant from an equation, $\mid\Gamma_x\mid\geq[1+d(1-\midX\mid/n)]\midX\mid$. This paper presents an improvement of expansion constant on constructing concentrators using expanders, which realizes the reduction of the size in a superconcentrator by a constant factor. As a result, this paper shows an explicit construction of (n, 5, $1-\sqrt{3/2}$) expander. Thus, superconcentrators with 209n edges can be obtained by applying to the expanders of Gabber and Galil's construction.

In this paper, a 5-bit 2-GS/s 2-way time interleaved pipeline ADC for high-speed serial link receiver is demonstrated. Implemented as a current-mode amplifier, the stage ADC simultaneously processes the tracking and residue amplification to achieve higher sampling rate. In addition, each stage incorporates a built-in 1-tap FIR equalizer, reducing inter-symbol-interference (ISI）without an extra digital post-processing. The ADC is designed in a 110nm CMOS technology. It comsumes 91mW from a 1.2-V supply. The area excluding the memory block is $0.58{\times}0.42mm^2$. Simulation results show that when equalizer is enabled, the ADC achieves SNDR of 25.2dB and ENOB of 3.9bits at 2.0GS/s sample rate for a Nyquist input signal. When the equalizer is disengaged, SNDR is 26.0dB for 20MHz-1.0GHz input signal, and the ENOB of 4.0bits.

With the recent introduction of HMD devices, there is a growing interest in simulator games that are difficult to experience directly like a FPS, racing game. However, because these gaming require a large volume consol and a additive user manipulating devices for the more reality experience, most of these games are very expensive. Therefore, we propose the Arduino Air Mouse for a sniper simulator game, which maximizes realism and can be enjoyed with small volume and low cost devices. The implemented Arduino Air Mouse uses an acceleration sensor and gyro sensor. Specially, after this device was tested in the a sniper simulator game that is applied the ballistics in the Unity3D environment, the implemented game showed more reality.
