UNII(Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure) 밴드에서 대 역 저지 특성을 갖는 새로운 형태의 UWB 통신용 마이크로스트립 급전 원형 패치 안테나를 제안한다. 안테나의 대역 저지 특성은 inverted-U 슬랏을 이용하여 구현한다. 제안한 안테나는 inverted-U 슬랏의 길이를 변화시켜 대역 저지 주파수 범위를 결정한다. 측정된 안테나의 대역폭은 VSWR<2를 기준으로 $2.9\~12.1GHz$에 걸쳐 광대역 특성을 만족하며 $4.9\~6GHz$ 부근에서 대역저지 특성을 갖는다 안테나의 복사 패턴은 모포폴과 비슷한 전 방향성 특성을 나타내며 전 동작 주파수 대역에 걸쳐 균일한 이득 특성을 갖는다.

본 논문에서는 단일면 야기 다이폴 급전 소자와 리액턴스가 장하된 인접한 두 기생 다이폴 소자를 이용한 UNII 대역에서 동작하는 소형 빔 조향 평면형 다이폴 배열 안테나를 제안한다. 제작된 안테나는 기생 소자의 리액턴스를 전자적으로 변화시킴으로써 UNII 대역에서($5.725{\sim}5.825\;GHz$) 다이폴 수직면 $-100^{\circ}$에서 $100^{\circ}$ 범위에서 $3.3{\sim}4.3\;dB$ 이득 특성을 갖고, -10 dB 이하 반사 손실 대역폭은 $5.4{\sim}5.9\;GHz$로 UNII대역을 포함함을 측정을 통해 확인하였다.

A CMOS frequency synthesizer for $5{\sim}6$ GHz UNII-band sub-harmonic direct-conversion receiver has been developed. For quadrature down-conversion with sub-harmonic mixing, octa-phase local oscillator (LO) signals are generated by an integer-N type phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer. The complex timing issue of feedback divider of the PLL with large division ratio is solved by using multimodulus prescaler. Phase noise of the local oscillator signal is improved by employing the ring-type LC-tank oscillator and switching its tail current source. Implemented in a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology, the phase noise of the LO signal is lower than -80 dBc/Hz and -113 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz and 1MHz offset, respect-tively. The measured reference spur is lower than -70 dBc and the power consumption is 40 m W from a 1.8 V supply voltage.

This paper presents results of continuous wave and swept frequency response measurements over the frequency range of UNII lower and middle bands from 5.15GHz to 5.35GHz in indoor environments. From the continuous wave measurements at 5.2GHz, the excess path loss, and the statistical characteristics of the temporal and spatial fading were found. By sweeping the frequency over the band, envelope correlation as a function of frequency was found and the coherence bandwidth (CBW) was determined from the envelope correlation. Using a channel model, the CBW was used to evaluate RMS delay spread. The dependence of CBW on the antenna polarization was simulated and compared with the measurement results. The influence of room size and separation of transmitter and receiver for LOS paths on RMS delay spread was discussed.

Super Wi-Fi is a Wi-Fi-like service exploiting TV white space (WS) which is expected to achieve larger coverage than today's Wi-Fi thanks to its superior propagation characteristics. Super Wi-Fi has been materialized as an international standard, IEEE 802.11af, targeting indoor and outdoor applications, and is undergoing worldwide field tests. This paper demonstrates the true potential of indoor Super Wi-Fi, by experimentally comparing the signal propagation characteristics of Super Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi in the same indoor environment. Specifically, we measured the wall and floor attenuation factors and the path-loss distribution at 770MHz, 2.401 GHz, and 5.540 GHz, and predicted the downlink capacity of Wi-Fi and Super Wi-Fi. The experimental results have revealed that TVWS signals can penetrate up to two floors above and below, whereas Wi-Fi signals experience significant path loss even through a single floor. It has been also shown that Super Wi-Fi mitigates shaded regions of Wi-Fi by providing almost-homogeneous data rates within its coverage, performs comparable to Wi-Fi utilizing less bandwidth, and always achieves better spectral efficiency than Wi-Fi. The observed phenomena imply that Super Wi-Fi is suitable for indoor applications and has the potential of extending horizontal and vertical coverage of today's Wi-Fi.
