This paper introduces a direct-conversion CMOS RF transmitter for the IEEE 802.15.4 standard with a low-power high-gain up-conversion mixer designed in $0.18{\mu}m$ process. The designed RF DCT(Direct Conversion Transmitter) is composed of differential DAC(Digital to Analog Converter), passive low-pass filter, quadrature active mixer and drive amplifier. The most important characteristic in designing RF DCT is to satisfy the 2.4 GHz Zigbee standard in low power. The quadrature active mixer inside the proposed RF DCT provides enough high gain as well as sufficient linearity using a gain boosting technique. The measurement results for the proposed transmitter show very low power consumption of 7.8 mA, output power more than 0 dBm and ACPR (Adjacent Channel Power Ratio) of -30 dBc.

In this paper, author proposes to a fuel cell generation system used to fire prevention installation at emergency. The proposed system is used with a power source of fire prevention installation in preparation for breaking of commercial power supply at emergency. A part of most power loss of the fuel cell generation system is power converter. And the major losses of power converter are switching losses of power semiconductor switches used to power conversion. This parer is designed with a high efficiency power converter of non isolated type in order to increase efficiency of fuel cell power system. The controlling switches used in power conversion system are operated with soft switching, which is applied to partial resonant method to reduce switching loss. The result is that the fuel cell power system gets to high efficiency. Some computer simulated results and experimental results are confirmed to the validity of the analytical results.

This paper proposed a low power CMOS Flash-SAR A/D converter which consists of a Flash A/D converter for 2 most significant bits and a SAR A/D converter with capacitor D/A converter for 8 least significant bits. Employment of a Flash A/D converter allows the proposed circuit to enhance the conversion speed. The SAR A/D converter with capacitor D/A converter provides a low power dissipation. The proposed A/D converter consumes $136{\mu}W$ with a power supply of 1V under a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process and achieves 9.16 effective number of bits for sampling frequency up to 2MHz. Therefore it results in 120fJ/step of Figure of Merit (FoM).

In this paper, the synthesis of distributed impedance transformers is presented that is essential for power divider design, whereby a broadband power divider is designed. Transfer functions of distributed transformers are synthesized with Chebyshev approximation, and their element values are calculated for various minimum insertion losses(MIL) and ripples. Desired performance of transformers is obtained by optimizing MIL's and ripples of a transfer function. As an application example, a four-way power divider is designed that operates over 2 to 8GHz frequency range. Experimental results are shown to approach the design performance, so transformer design by distributed network synthesis proves to be useful to power divider design.
