In this paper, a vital sign sensor based on impedance variation of resonator is proposed to detect the respiration and heartbeat signals within near-field range as a function of the separation distance between resonator and subject. The sensor consists of an oscillator with a built-in planar type patch resonator, a diplexer for only pass the second harmonic frequency, amplifier, SAW filter, and RF detector. The cardiac activity of a subject such as respiration and heartbeat causes the variation of the oscillation frequency corresponding impedance variation of the resonator within near-field range. The combination of the second harmonic oscillation frequency deviation and the superior skirt frequency of the SAW filter enables the proposed sensor to extend twice detection range. The experimental results reveal that the proposed sensor placed 40 mm away from a subject can reliably detect respiration and heartbeat signals.

This paper proposes a differential Colpitts-VCO circuit suitable for low phase noise oscillation at the sub-1V supply voltage. Oscillation with low phase noise at the sub-1V supply voltage is facilitated by employing inductors as the current sources of the proposed circuit. One of the two feedback capacitors of the single-ended Colpitts oscillator in the proposed circuit is replaced with the MOS varactor in order to further reduce the resonator loss. Post-layout simulation results using a $0.18{\mu}m$ RF CMOS technology show that the phase noises at the 1MHz offset frequency of the proposed circuit oscillating at the sub-1V supply voltages of 0.6 to 0.9 V are at least 7 dBc/Hz lower than those of the well-known cross-coupled differential VCO.

이동통신 무선망 설계 시에는 전파강도가 부족하여 발생하는 부분적인 음영지역을 해결하기 위해서 기지국 신호를 재증폭하는 중계기를 이용하게 된다. 이러한 중계기는 입출력 안테나 사이에 충분한 격리도를 확보하지 않으면 증폭된 출력신호가 입력단으로 유입되어 시스템 발진현상이 발생하게 된다. 격리도에 따라 신호의 신호대잡음비를 저하시키는 수준의 미세발진이 발생하거나 출력증폭기의 한계점에 도달시키는 완전발진이 발생 된다. 기지국에 입력된 신호를 복조하여 신호의 상태에 따라 단말기 출력을 증가시키도록 제어하는 상황에서 이러한 중계기의 발진현상은 시스템 성능의 현저한 저하를 가져오게 된다. 본 논문에서는 실험적으로 발견된 중계기 발진현상을 수학적 모델링을 통하여 중계기의 특성 및 입출력 안테나 사이의 격리도와 미세발진현상과의 관계를 규명한다. 아울러 실험결과와의 비교분석을 통하여 본 논문에서 제시한 모델링의 타당성을 증명한다.

In this paper, we propose a varactor-diodeless voltage-controlled oscillator operating at X-band, and verify the possibility of applying to a receiver for microwave radar signal detection applications. The proposed VCO is realized by only single RF BJT device as a varactor diode is substitued by a intrinsic collector-base PN-junction of the active device which is used to generate negative resistance. The fabricated VCO meets the specification of the receiver, which has a 11.20~11.75 GHz tuning bandwidth with respect to the tuning voltage, 1.0~7.0 V, output power of 9.0~12.0 dBm and linear frequency tuning performance.

A cavity stabilized Gunn oscillator at 24 GHz has been developed with WR-42 waveguide structure by HFSS simulation. The oscillator has been optimized by using a circular iris and cap resonator structure. This oscillator needs 4.5 V DC voltage / 1.2 A current and produces a maximum +21.27 dBm RF power at 24.0675 GHz.

본 논문에서는 K-band SMDS용 하향변환기를 설계 및 제작하였다.

In this paper the water sensor using a coaxial cavity resonator is designed and manufactured. The water sensor which can sense water drop linearly has been constructed with voltage controlled oscillator(VCO), coaxial cavity resonator, RF switch, RF detector, A/D converter, DAC and micro controller. The operating frequency range of the designed water sensor is from 2.5GHz to 3.2GHz and the input voltage and current source are 24[V/DC] and 1[A]. The designed sensor circuit includes VCO, RF switch, RF detector which varies the frequency characteristics of the devices in the high frequency of 3GHz. And so we should correct the error of the frequency characteristics of those devices in the sensor circuit. To do this, we make the reference path which switches the signals to the RF detector directly without sending it to the resonator. According to the result of simulation and measurement, we can see that there is 0-50MHz difference between simulated resonator frequency and manufactured resonator frequency.

This paper presents a dual-band mixer for multi-standards of IEEE 802.1la/b/g using a single local oscillator, so as to improve the defects of legacy systems. Those systems have duplicate local oscillators and mixers to handle dual band signals, increasing complexity of system and power loss. The proposed circuit shows 11.6 dB, 16.8 dB of conversion loss and 8.77 dBm, 12.5 dBm of IIP3(Input 3rd Intercept Point) for respective bands when the two RF inputs of 2.452 and 5.260 GHz are down-converted to the identical 356 MHz If frequency. The RF-LO isolations are measured 36 dB, 41 dB at each frequencies and over 50 dB of LO-IF isolations are achieved at all cases.

This paper presents a new interference cancellation method to remove the oscillation due to feedback signal of RF relay. In this paper, we estimate the feedback signal using to LMS(Least Mean Square) algorithm and remove the interference through attenuation signal arbitrary corresponding to feedback signal. From the various performance analysis for various doppler effects, a proposed method prevents from oscillation using -30dB attenuation signal as a cancellation value of feedback signal.
