To protect the students from food poisoning, in this paper, it is proposed that the Smart HACCP system which based with WCDMA-LTE to monitoring the temperature and humidity of a freezer, a heating cabinet and kitchen instruments at the elementary, junior and high school. After gathering the data, It is compared with a standard food poisoning index to provide more safe food reserves from the server. Then the server send a index to the terminal which is installed in a kitchen at any school to show the current environment. It is need an WCDMA-LTE terminal to realize smart HACCP system that is proposed from this paper. So, the proposed WCDMA-LTE terminal is designed with using a LTE modem included a 424 MHz wireless modem and a bluetooth 4.0 modem to communicate with other terminals. It can be use the monitoring system of a plastic greenhouse or remotely environment control system.

In this paper, we designed and implemented the MIMO antenna for LTE(Long Term Evolution), supposed to be a next generation communications network, DCS1800, DCS1900 and WCDMA. Using conventional monopole antenna with MD material results in good characteristics, miniaturization for LTE band and as well as broadbanding for DCS, WCDMA band. The performance of the proposed MIMO antenna shows VSWR < 2, under -10 dB of isolation and the gain is -1.66 ~ 1.33 dBi for LTE(Long Term Evolution), DCS1800, DCS1900 and WCDMA, which has omnidirectional radiation pattern.

본고에서는 1998년 말부터 시작된 3GPP의 표준인 WCDMA, HSPA 및 LTE로의 진화 로드맵을 알아보고, 특히 최근의 중점 이슈인 LTE에 대한 추진 배경, 일반적 요구사항 및 기술적 요구사항의 개요에 대해 알아본다. LTE는 2004년 말에 필요성이 제기되어 2005년부터 본격 추진되었고 2008년 말이면 무선접속 분야는 표준이 거의 완료될 전망이다. 과거 WCDMA 에서 HSPA로 진화 시 호환성을 고려해서 조심스럽게 접근했던 것과는 달리 LTE에서는 호환성의 제약을 받지 않는 완전히 새로운 표준을 지향하여, 단순하면서도 효율적이고 유연한 기술표준을 목표로 작업이 수행되어 왔다. 무선통신 분야의 주류 기술이 되고 있는 OFDM, MIMO기술을 바탕으로 LTE기술은 Vodafone, Verizon, NTT DoCoMo등 많은 대형사업자로부터 차세대 기술로 선택되고 있으며 2010년경부터 상용화가 예상되고 있다.

In this paper, a transimpedance amplifier based on a new DC offset cancellation (DCOC) method is proposed for WCDMA/LTE applications. The proposed method applies a sample and hold mechanism to the conventional DCOC method with a DC feedback loop. It prevents the removal of information around the DC, so it avoids signal-to-noise ratio degradation. It also reduces area and power consumption. It was designed in a $0.13{\mu}m$ deep n-well CMOS technology and drew a maximum current of 1.58 mA from a 1.2 V supply voltage. It showed a transimpedance gain of $80dB{\Omega}$, an input-referred noise current lower than 0.9 pA/${\surd}$Hz, an out-of-band input-referred 3rd-order intercept point more than 9.5 dBm, and an output DC offset lower than 10 mV. Its area is $0.46mm{\times}0.48mm$.
