강유전체 박막과 마이크로 가공기술을 이용하여 초전형 적외선 센서를 제작하였다. 초전형 적외선 센서는 $Pb_{1-x}La_xTi_{1-x/4}O_3$ (x=0.05) (PLT) 강유전체 박막 커패시터를 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방식으로 백금 전극이 증착된 MgO 기판상에 결정 성장시킨 구조를 갖고 있다. 스퍼터링된 PLT 바닥은 높은 c-축 결정 구조를 가지므로 센서로 사용하기 위한 poling 처리 과정이 필요하다. 이는 적외선 이미지 센서를 구현함에 있어서 수율 향상에 필수적인 요소이다. 마이크로 가공 기술을 사용하여 센서의 열용량을 극소화 함으로서 센서의 효율을 최대화하였다. 제작된 센서의 상부에 폴리이미드를 코팅하고 MgO 기판을 선택적으로 식각하여 코팅된 폴리이미드가 강유전체 박막 커패시터를 지지하고 있는 구조를 구현하였다. 이렇게 제작된 센서의 감도는 상온에서 $8.5{\times}10^8cm{\cdot}{\sqrt}{Hz/W}$로 측정되었으며 이는 마이크로 가공 기술을 사공하지 않은 경우보다 약 100 때의 감도 향상을 가져왔다.

무선 센서 네트워크 기술은 상시적으로 물리정보를 획득할 수 있기 때문에 광범위한 응용분야에서 수요가 증가하고 있다. 또한 무선 센서 네트워크에 적용되는 무선 센서 시스템은 일반적으로 배터리를 장착하여 회로에 전력을 공급해주는 방식을 사용한다. 그러나 센서가 적의 기지근처, 인체 조직내 삽입, 건물의 내벽 등과 같이 배터리를 교체할 수 없는 곳에 위치해 있는 경우, 반영구적인 사용에 제한이 있기 때문에 무전원 무선 센서의 개발이 절실히 필요하다. 특히, 이러한 센서를 새롭게 개발하고 검증하려며 센서의 주파수 특성을 분석해야 하는데 기존에는 단순한 파형만을 분석할 수 있는 일반적인 계측기를 사용할 수밖에 없었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 계측기보다 유연성 있고 효율적으로 무전원 무선 센서의 개발과 검증이 가능하도록 신호의 모니터링과 신호발생기를 에뮬레이션하는 NI LabVIEW기반의 SAW System Analyzer와 SAW Reader Emulator 시스템을 설계하고 개발하였다.

Recently, radio frequency energy transfer (RFET) attracts more and more interests for powering sensor nodes in the wireless sensor network (WSN). In the conventional WSN, reducing energy consumption of sensor nodes is of primary importance. On the contrary, in the WSN with RFET, reducing energy consumption is not an important issue. However, in the WSN with RFET, the energy harvesting rate of each sensor node depends on its location, which causes the unbalanced available energy among sensor nodes. Hence, to improve the performance of the WSN with RFET, it is important to develop network protocols considering this property. In this paper, we study this issue with jointly considering routing, scheduling, and power control in the WSN with RFET. In addition, we study this issue with considering two different objectives: 'Max-min' with which we tries to maximize the performance of a sensor node having the minimum performance and 'Max-min fairness' with which we tries to achieve max-min fairness among sensor nodes. We show that our solutions can improve network performance significantly and we also discuss the differences between 'Max-min' and 'Max-min fairness'.

In this paper, a tunable microstrip patch antenna designed using RF MEMS switches is reported. The design and simulation antenna were performed using high frequency structure simulator (HFSS). The antenna was designed in ISM Band and operates simultaneously at 2.4 GHz and 5.7 GHz with a -10 dB return-loss bandwidth of 20 MHz and 180 MHz, respect-tively. To obtain high efficiency and improve integrated ability, the High Resistivity Silicon (HRS) wafer was used for the antenna. The antenna achieved high gain with 8 dB at 5.7 GHzand 1.5 dB at 2.4 GHz. The RF MEMS DC contact switches was simulated and analysis by ANSYS software.

Recently, various ubiquitous networking services are developed and implemented for easy living. In general, new ubiquitous networking services require the new infrastructure including equipments and devices. However, it is difficult to replace existing infrastructure and devices with new ones in the home or office because of cost and maintenance problems. In this paper, we developed small-size web based RF wireless communication systems for sensor network applications. The designed RF systems are implemented using commercial system on a chip (SoC) on existing infrastructure and devices. The developed systems are tested for light control and temperature sensing and they are applied to sensor network training courses for students and engineer as well as various practical applications.
