This paper presents a programmable RF BIST (Built-in Self-Test) circuit for low noise amplifiers. We have developed a new on-chip RF BIST circuit that measures RF parameters of low noise amplifier (LNA) using only DC measurements. The BIST circuit contains test amplifier with programmable capacitor banks and RF peak detectors. The test circuit utilizes output DC voltage measurements and these measured values are translated into the LNA specifications such as input impedance and gain using the mathematical equations. Our on-chip BIST can be self programmed for 1.8GHz, 2.4GHz and 5.25GHz LNA for GSM, Bluetooth and IEEE802.11g standards.

In this paper, a low noise amplifier has been developed, which is operating at L-band i.e., 1525-1575 MHz. By using resistive decoupling circuits, the resistor dissipates undesired signal in low frequency band. By adopting this design method the stability of the LNA is increased and the input impedance matching is improved. The LNA consists of the low noise GaAs FET ATF-10136 and the internally matched VNA-25. The low LNA is fabricated by both the RP circuit and the self-bias circuits in an aluminum housing. As a result, the characteristics of the LNA implemented show more than 32 dB in gain, lower than 0.5 dB in noise figure, 18.6 dBm output gain in 1 dB gain compression point.

The underground transmission lines is continuously expanded in power systems. Therefore the fault of underground transmission lines are increased every year because of the complication of systems. However the studies dealing with fault location in the case of the underground transmission lines are rarely reported except for few papers using traveling wave method and calculating underground cable impedance. This paper describes the algorithm using fuzzy system and travelling wave method in the underground transmission line. Fuzzy inference is used for fault discrimination. To organize fuzzy algorithm, it is important to select target data reflecting various underground transmission line transient states. These data are made of voltage and average of RMS value on zero sequence current within one cycle after fault occurrence. Travelling wave based on wavelet transform is used for fault location. In this paper, a variety of underground transmission line transient states are simulated by EMTP/ATPDraw and Matlab. The input which is used to fault location algorithm are Detail 1(D1) coefficients of differential current. D1 coefficients are obtained by wavelet transform. As a result of applying the fuzzy inference and travelling wave based on wavelet transform, fault discrimination is correctly distinguished within 1/2 cycle after fault occurrence and fault location is comparatively correct.

In this paper, the performance variation of a planar circular monopole antenna is studied, when this antenna is fabricated to film type and installed in the space between case and PCB of UWB terminal. When the circular monopole part has the 'ㄷ' folded structure, the input impedance and return loss, bandwidth, radiation pattern of this antenna are simulated and measured. Then the performance variation is compared with conventional planar antenna. As the results, the folded type circular antenna is usable as a intenna of UWB communication terminal, because of the good return loss and radiation pattern performance in the 2.6 - 12 GHz including the UWB frequency band.

In this paper, the rectenna converting 2.45[GHz] microwave into DC power is designed and fabricated for wireless power transmission using microwave and the methode for impedance matching and tuning are proposed in order to maximize RF-DC conversion efficiency. The fabricated rectenna can be easily tuned by using a broad open stub and has the RF-DC conversion efficiency up to 59[%] when the 5[dBm] input power is applied. The 2.2[V], 1.5[mW] DC level, in the 1[m] distance between the transmitter and the receiver can be obtained and this value is avaliable in the small power digital system.

A programmable smart charger compatible to various load conditions is proposed in this paper. Since the proposed smart charger is compatible to various mobile devices having different rated voltage and power, it is convenient for carrying and easy to standardize many kinds of battery chargers. Moreover, since it uses the input impedance and built-in PMIC (Power management IC) of the load system to recognize the connection state and specifications of load system, hardware changes of load system is not only hardly necessary but it also features no addition communication cable and easy implementation. To confirm the validity of the proposed charger, the theoretical analysis and experiment results from a prototype compatible to three load conditions 5V/1A, 5V/2A and 12V/1A are provided.

In this study, a distance-measurement system was proposed by using principle of the Michelson Interferometer and a fundamental research was carried out. In case of the rnichelson interferometer, relativity distance was measured by relativity-difference of two course of light. But wavelength of light source were changed in this system in order to use interference phenomenon of michelson interferometer in measuring absolutely distance. Wavelength of input signal were changed periodically and were interfered electrically. So absolute distance can be calculated by using $\Delta\lambda$ and measuring $\eta\Delta$ in electric interference. Nose by a external factor was small in this system because a absolutely distance was measured by phase difference. And a dispersion of noise was small in pulse-echo response because a error was occurred in range of phase difference of signal. Also very wide range can be measured by only single system because informations of distance were acquisited in wavelength level.

This paper describes of a mathematical and real experimental analysis for a walking robot which uses servo valve driven hydraulic actuator. Recently, many researchers are developing a walking robot based on hydraulic systems for the difficult and dangerous missions such as walking in the rough terrain and carrying a heavy load. In order to design and control a walking robot, the characteristics of the hydraulic actuators in the joint through the view point of walking such as controllability and backdrivability must be analyzed. A general mathematical model was used for analysis and proceeds to position and pressure changes characteristic of the input and backdrivability experiment. The result shows the actuator is a velocity source, had a high impedance, the output stiffness is high in contact with the rigid external force. So stand above the controller and instruments that complement the design characteristics can be seen the need to apply a hydraulic actuator in walking robot.

In this paper, we report on the waveguide-to-microstrip transition with an inline structure for the millimeter band. The waveguide-to-microstrip transition comprises a probe, an inductive line, a ${\lambda}/4$ impedance transformer, and a 50-ohm microstrip line. For the transition design, we optimized the characteristic impedances and lengths of the component parts. The fabricated transition exhibits an insertion loss of 2.1 dB and an input/output return loss of below 13 dB at a millimeter band frequency of 94 GHz.
