  • IEEE802.15.4 체계의 USN 센서노드 무선통신부에 내장하기 위한 5.0GHz 광대역 RF 주파수 합성기를 $0.18{\mu}m$ 실리콘 CMOS 기술을 이용하여 설계하였다. 고속 저잡음 특성을 얻기 위하여 VCO, 프리스케일러, 1/N 분주기, ${\Sigma}-{\Delta}$ 모듈레이터 분수형 분주기, PLL 공통 회로 등의 설계 최적화에 중점을 두고 설계하였으며, 특히 VCO는 N-P MOS 코어 구조 및 12단 캡 뱅크를 적용하여 고속 저전력 및 광대역 튜닝 범위를 확보하였다. 설계된 칩의 크기는 $1.1*0.7mm^2$이며, IP로 활용하기 위한 코어 부분의 크기는 $1.0*0.4mm^2$이다. 2가지 종류의 주파수합성기를 설계한 다음 모의실험을 통하여 비교 분석해 본 결과 일부 특성만 개선한다면 IP로써 사용하는데 문제가 없을 것으로 나타났다.

  • 본 논문은 고주파 시스템 온 칩 응용을 위한 온 칩 검사 대응 설계 (Design-for-Testability, DFT) 회로를 제안한다. 이러한 회로는 고주파 회로의 주요 성능 변수들 즉, 입력 임피던스, 전압이득, 잡음지수, 입력 전압 정재비 (VSWRin) 및 출력 신호대 잡음비 (SNRout)를 고가의 장비없이 측정 가능하다. 이러한 고주파 검사 회로는 DFT 칩으로부터 측정된 출력 DC 전압에 실제 고주파 소자의 성능을 제공하는 자체 개발한 이론적인 수학적 표현식을 이용한다. 제안한 DFT 회로는 외부 장비를 이용한 측정 결과와 비교해 볼 때 고주파 회로의 주요 성능 변수들에 대해 5.25GHz의 동작주파수에서 2%이하의 오차를 각각 보였다. DFT 회로는 고주파 소자 생산뿐만 아니라 시스템 검사 과정에서 칩들의 성능을 신속히 측정할 수 있으므로 불필요한 소자 복사를 위해 소요되는 엄청난 경비를 줄일 수 있으리라 기대한다.

  • We have characterized the aftereffects of impulse activities on the transmission of afferent sensory to the primary somatosensory (SI) cortex of the anesthetized rats (n=22). Following conditioning stimulation (CS, 10 sec, either 5 Hz or 200 Hz) to the receptive field (RF), quantitative determination of the changes of afferent sensory transmission was done by generating post-stimulus time histogram of unit response to the testing stimulation (TS, at 0.5 Hz) to the RF center (RFC) for 60 min. In one group of experiments, CS was delivered to the RF center (RFC). In another group of experiments, CSs were simultaneously given to both RFC and RF outside (RFO, either forepaw or hindpaw). CS of 5 Hz to RFC exerted irreversible facilitation of sensory transmissions evoked by TS. Simultaneous CSs of 5 Hz to RFC and hindpaw RFO exerted reversible suppression of afferent transmission. However, CSs of 5 Hz to RFC and forepaw RFO did not significantly altered afferent sensory transmission to SI cortex neurons. CS of 200 Hz to RFC exerted irreversible suppression of sensory transmissions up to 60 min of experimental period. Simultaneous CSs of 200 Hz to RFC and RFO did not significantly altered afferent sensory transmission to SI cortex neurons. The profiles of CS-induced modulation of afferent sensory transmission were significantly different between two CS conditions. Thus, this study suggests that activity-dependent modulation of afferent transmission from a RF center to the SI cortex may be significantly altered when remote body part was simultaneously activated.

  • Evaluation of radiating radiofrequency fields from hand-held and body-mounted wireless communication devices to human bodies are conducted by measuring the specific absorption rate (SAR). The uncertainty of system validation and probe calibration in SAR measurement depend on the variation of RF power used for the validation and calibration. RF input power for system validation or probe calibration is controlled manually during the test process of the existing systems in the laboratories. Consequently, a long time is required to reach the stable power needed for testing that will cause less uncertainty. The standard uncertainty due to this power drift is typically 2.89%, which can be obtained by applying IEC 62209 in a normal operating condition. The principle of the Automatic Input Power Level Control System (AIPLC), which controls the equipment by a program that maintains a stable input power level, is suggested in this paper. The power drift is reduced to less than ${\pm}1.16dB$ by AIPLC, which reduces the standard uncertainty of power drift to 0.67%.

  • Superconducting multi-spoke cavities are outstanding alternative choice for acceleration of heavy ions in medium velocity regimes. Based on the scheme of China ADS, several researches on the superconducting double-spoke cavities were done and two prototype cavities have been developed. In this paper, the RF design, the mechanical design and fabrication considerations of the bare cavity will be described in detail. After Buffered Chemical Polishing and High Pressure Rinsing, one of the prototype cavities was installed into the Vertical Test Stand for high gradient RF testing at 4.2 K. The measurement results of the quality factor as a function of the accelerating field and the maximum surface field will be presented. An accelerating gradient of more than 15 MV/m is achieved during the test, with maximum surface electric field of 58 MV/m, and maximum surface magnetic field of 117 mT.

  • RFID 시스템은 리더기가 물체에 부착된 태그의 정보를 무선으로 파악하는 장거리 인식용으로 사용되고 있다. 그렇지만, 각기 구현하는 방식에 조금의 차이가 있어 각 제품들 간의 호환이나, 태그와 리더기 사이의 호환이 원만히 이루어지지 않고 있는 것이 문제점이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 몇 가지 서로 다른 프로토콜을 탑재하여 다양한 종류의 태그와 리더기를 검사하고, 고주파 특성과 프로토콜을 동시에 검증할 수 있는 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다.

  • The automatic firewall block and fire alarm system was embodied by using gas circuit and wireless communication equipment, using a smoke sensor (ST-QA1A) and RF Module. OR-CAD was also used for testing circuit system and experiment circuit after assembling circuit. As a result in experiment, the gas sensor detected well an imaginary smoke and worked reliably for driving action of firewall block motor and wireless warning alarm. Through the smoke sensitive perception from the fire, the warning alarm and the preventing fire propagation from the specific closed region were verified reliably. The gas sensor and RF module for firewall and fire alarm system were actually available.

  • COVID-19 is a viral pandemic disease that spreads widely all around the world. The only way to identify COVID-19 patients at an early stage is to stop the spread of the virus. Different approaches are used to diagnose, such as RT-PCR, Chest X-rays, and CT images. However, these are time-consuming and require a specialized lab. Therefore, there is a need to develop a time-efficient diagnosis method to detect COVID-19 patients. The proposed machine learning (ML) approach predicts the presence of coronavirus based on clinical symptoms. The clinical dataset is collected from the Israeli Ministry of Health. We used different ML classifiers (i.e., XGB, DT, RF, and NB) to diagnose COVID-19. Later, classifiers are optimized with the Bayesian hyperparameter optimization approach to improve the performance. The optimized RF outperformed the others and achieved an accuracy of 97.62% on the testing data that help the early diagnosis of COVID-19 patients.

  • A wireless acoustic emission (AE) system has been developed for continuous monitoring of rotating structures such as turbine rotors. The cable between preamplifier and signal processing unit of a conventional AE system was replaced by the frequency modulated telemetry. The detected signals were modulated and transmitted as an RF signals by the transmitting module, then received and demodulated by the receiving module. The distance between the transmitting and the receiving antennas could be separated up to 10cm within a reasonable signal-to-noise ratio. The simulated AE signals generated by pencil lead breaks from rotating structures were successfully detected using the developed wireless AE monitoring system.

  • A portable RF HTS SQUID-based susceptometer was used for small size magnetized sample testing in weak DC (up to 200A/m) and AC (up to 4 A/m) magnetic fields. The system resolution for the magnetic moment is of the order of $1.6{\times}10^{-10} A.m^2$. The measured DC susceptibility of a tested sample agrees well with the value obtained by using a commercial liquid helium susceptometer.
