For the low-power design of the mobile multimedia system architecture, this paper modeling the mobile multimedia system and analysis the power consumption profile about the whole communication environment. The mobile system model consist of air interface, RIP front-end, base-band processing module and human interface. For the result of power consumption profile analysis, the power consumption of multimedia processing is above 60% compare to the whole power consumption in mobile multimedia system. To minimize the power consumption in processing module which consumes the large power, this paper proposed the Microscopic DVS technique which applies the optimum voltage for the each multimedia frame. For the simulation result, proposed power minimization technique reduce the power consumption about 30%.

In this work, a transmitter/receiver front-end module (T/R FEM) with an automatic Tx/Rx switching scheme for a 2.4 GHz microwave power transfer is developed for a retro-reflective beamforming scheme. Recently, research on wireless power transfer techniques has moved to wireless charging systems for mobile devices. Retro-reflective beamforming is a good candidate for tracking the spatial position of a mobile device to be charged. In Tx mode, the T/R FEM generates a minimum of 1 W. It also comprises an amplitude and phase monitoring port for transmitting RF power. In Rx mode, it passes an Rx pilot signal from a mobile device to a digital baseband subsystem to recognize the position of the mobile device. The insertion loss of the Rx signal path is 4.5 dB. The Tx and Rx modes are automatically switched by detecting the Tx input power. This T/R FEM is a design example of T/R FEMs for wireless charging systems based on a retro-reflective beamforming scheme.

Ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) detection method has been widely used as a front end detection scheme for the ultra-high frequency (UHF) partial discharge (PD) monitoring systems. A broad-band video detector module was developed and characterized for the UHF UWB PD detection systems. The useable bandwidth of the module is more than 2 GHz and it is optimized for 50-ohm systems. The detection sensitivity and dynamic range of the module were characterized by using a known ns-width RF pulses of GHz range. The dynamic range is more than 6-decades and the module can detect pulsed RF signals down to 1 nW. The detector module can eliminate expensive equipment such as high speed oscilloscopes and radio frequency (RF) spectrum analyzers. Therefore, it enables one to use slow speed data acquisition systems for the PD monitoring at the UHF range. The detector module was used to detect real PDs of about <3 pC. The module converts the UWB PD signals into a low-bandwidth video signal with a high signal-to-noise ratio.

This paper presents a compact K-band Doppler radar sensor for human vital signal detection that uses a radar configuration with only single coupler. The proposed radar front-end configuration can reduce the chip size and the additional RF power loss. The radar front-end IC is composed of a Lange coupler, VCO, and single balanced mixer. The oscillation frequency of the VCO is from 27.3 to 27.8 GHz. The phase noise of the VCO is -91.2 dBc/Hz at a 1 MHz offset frequency, and the output power is -4.8 dBm. The conversion gain of the mixer is about 11 dB. The chip size is $0.89{\times}1.47mm^2$. The compact Ka-band Doppler radar system was developed in order to demonstrate remote human vital signal detection. The radar system consists of a Ka-band Doppler radar module with a $2{\times}2$ patch array antenna, baseband signal conditioning block, DAQ system, and signal processing program. The front-end module size is $2.5{\times}2.5cm^2$. The proposed radar sensor can properly capture a human heartbeat and respiration rate at the distance of 50 cm.

본 논문에서는 레이더 탐지기용 RF 모듈단의 광대역 저잡음 증폭기, 혼합기 그리고 발진기를 설계 및 구현하였다. 이득 평탄도가 좋지 않아 특정 주파수에서 감도가 저하되는 기존 상용 제품의 단점을 개선하기 위해 RF 모듈단의 구조를 제안한다. 제안한 RF 모듈단은 광대역 2단 저잡음 증폭기와 혼합기, 그리고 세 개 대역의 발진기로 구성되어 여러 주파수를 검출할 수 있는 동시에 최대 이득과 이득 평탄도를 향상시켰다. 제작된 RF 모듈단의 측정 결과, 전 대역에서 36 dB 이상의 변환 이득을 나타내었으며 이득 평탄도는 5 dB를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 기존 상용 제품의 문제점인 최대 이득을 35 dB에서 41 dB로 6 dB 향상시켰고, 이득 평탄도 또한 22 dB에서 5 dB로 17 dB 개선시켰음을 보여준다.

This paper presents a single-pole eight-throw(SP8T) switch based on proposed a radio-frequency(RF) microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switches. The proposed switch was driven by a double stop(DS) comb drive, with a lateral resistive contact. Additionally, the proposed switch was designed to have tapered signal line and bi-directionally actuated. A forward actuation connects between signal lines and contact part, and the output becomes on-state. A reverse actuation connects between ground lines and contact part, and the output becomes off-state. The SP8T switch of 3-stage tree topology was developed based on an arrangement of the proposed RF MEMS switches. The developed SP8T switch had an actuation voltage of 12 V, an insertion loss of 1.3 dB, a return loss of 15.1 dB, and an isolation of 31.4 dB at 6 GHz.

This paper introduces a low-cost, high-performance mmWave antenna array module at 77 GHz. Conventional waveguide transitions have been replaced by 3D CPW-microstrip transitions which are much simpler to realize. They are compatible with low-cost substrate fabrication processes, allowing easy integration of ICs in 3D multi-chip modules. An antenna array is designed and implemented using multilayer coupled-fed patch antenna technology. The proposed $16{\times}16$ array antenna has a fractional bandwidth of 8.4% (6.5 GHz) and a 23.6-dBi realized gain at 77 GHz.

상용화되어 있는 이동통신 기기의 Front-end 부분은 듀플렉서와 필터를 포함하는 수동소자로 구성되어 있다. 듀플렉서의 임피던스 정합선로는 전송선로 이론으로부터 설계하며, 단순하게 ${\lambda}=1/4$ 파장 길이의 정합 선로를 설치하는 것이기 때문에 정합선로를 이용한 듀플렉서 성능을 극대화하기 위한 설계의 융통성이 없는게 현실이다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 집중소자(lumped element)인 R L C를 탄성 표면파 듀플렉서 대신 스위치 모들에 적용하게 된다면 여러 가지 다양한 형태의 회로를 구현할 수 있고 회로망 내에 위치하는 집중소자의 정격을 최적화하여 스위치 모듈의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 $900 MHz{\sim}2.2 GHz$의 대역에서 소형화 집적화에 적용 가능한 디바이스를 개발하기 위하여 고주파, 저진압, 저손실 스위치 모듈의 제조와 구성되는 커패시터와 인덕터의 제조와 특성에 관하여 연구하였다.
