A threshold voltage extraction scheme which does not need matched replica of the MOSFET under test is proposed. In contrast to alternative methods, the accuracy of the proposed scheme does not depend on the matching of the test transistors. The proposed scheme has been implemented in a matching-free way using a switched-capacitor subtracting ampliier and a dynmic current mirror. Nonideal effects associated with these circuits, such as non-zero offset voltages and finite gains of op-amps, capcitor mismateches, and charge injection of MOS switches, are investigated and compensated. The circuit has been designed using ISRC 1.5.mu.m CMOS process parameters andfabricated at Inter-University semiconductor Research Center, and its performance has been evaluated.

This paper presents a real-time PCB (Printed Circuit Board) vision inspection system. This system can detect the OPEN and SHORT of the PCB which of the line width is 150$\mu\textrm{m}$. Our PCB inspection system is based on the referential method. Since the size of the captured PCB image is very large, the image is divided into 512${\times}$512 images to apply the accurate alignment efficiently. To correct the misalignment between the reference image and the inspection image, pattern matching is performed. In order to implement the proposed algorithm in real-time, we use the SIMD instruction and the double buffering structures. Our experiential results show the effectiveness of the developed inspection algorithm.

In this paper, a X band voltage controlled oscillator is proposed. The oscillator uses a transistor as an oscillating element and its oscillating frequencies are controlled by the tuning voltage of varactor diode. Using the circuit simulation tools, the matching circuits between the transistor and varactor diode, its input and output matching circuits, and a feedback circuits are designed. The measured results of the fabricated oscillator show that its oscillation frequencies are from 10.50GHz to 10.88GHz according to the turning voltages of 1V to 18V, its output power levels are about 4.3dBm, and its phase noise is around -43.5dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset frequency of 10.5GHz.

We have developed a new non-conventional electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer, in which no resonant cavity was used. We previously demonstrated a wide frequency range operation of an EPR spectrometer using two loop antennas, one for a microwave transmission and the other for signal detection [1]. In contrast to Ref. [1], the utilization of a microstrip antenna as a transmitter enhanced a capability of wide-band operation. The replacement of conventional capacitors with varactor diodes makes resonance condition easily reproducible without any mechanical action during tuning and matching procedure since the capacitance of the diodes is controlled electronically. The operation of the new EPR spectrometer was tested by measuring a signal of 1,1-diphenil-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) sample in the frequency range of 0.8-2.5 GHz.

This paper suggests a class-F power amplifier with split open-end stubs to provide a broadband high-efficiency operation. These stubs are designed to have wide bandwidth by splitting wide open-end stubs into narrower stubs connected in shunt in an output matching network for class-F operation. In contrast to conventional wideband class-F designs, which theoretically need a large number of matching lines, this method requires fewer transmission lines, resulting in a compact circuit implementation. In addition, the open-end stubs are designed with slant ends to achieve additional wide bandwidth. To verify the suggested design, a 10-W class-F power amplifier operating at 1.7 GHz was implemented using a commercial GaN transistor. The measurement results showed a peak drain efficiency of 82.1% and 750 MHz of bandwidth for an efficiency higher than 63%. Additionally, the maximum output power was 14.45 W at 1.7 GHz.

The design process and construction method of a strip line is described for measuring radiated susceptibility of vehicular components having electrical cables more than 2 min length. he characteristic impedance of the trip line was determined 90$\Omega$ to obtain the field uniformity of $\leq$${\pm}$3 dB in the frequency range from 100 kHz to 500 MHz. Tapered coaxial lines were used instead of the traditional lumped circuit element for the impedence matching units, therefore, the strip line has high power capability. Using these techniques, the field uniformity and power capability of a strip line could be considerably improved.

In this paper, the distortion characteristics of an electrical pulse which has a rise/fall time due to the dispersion and the reflection, on nonuniform tapered microstrip lines has investigated in time domain. The transmission characteristics on uniform microstrip lines in time domain had represented already, but the results for the nonuniform tapered microstrip lines not represented yet. We investigated the transmission characteristics for pulse signal on the nonuniform tapered microstrip lines, and the result applied to design of wide band impedance matching circuit in design of MMIC. The voltage and current transfer functions are shown for the tapered line. The dispersion and distortion obtained by using these transfer functions are represented for the nonideal square pulse.

본 연구에서는 변형된 Folded 다이폴 안테나의 특성을 모멘트법을 이용하여 조사하였다. 안테나의 중심주파수는 200MHz, 도선의 반지름은 0.5mm이고 두 개의 선형 다이폴 사이의 간격은 2cm이다. 시뮬레이션 결과 18cm 정도의 내부 sub 변화와 4.5cm 정도의 외부 stub 변화는 SWR 기준으로 3 미만을 유지한다. 이는 변형된 Folded 다이폴 안테나가 추가적인 정합회로 없이 광대역 특성을 보이는 것을 의미한다.

In this paper, we deal with a hybrid dual band low noise amplifier with tunable matching circuits for a Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) reader operating at 433MHz and 912MHz. The tunable matching circuit consists of the microstrip line, SMD component and varactor. Simulation results show that the S21 parameter is 17dB and 7.91dB at 433MHz and 912MHz, respectively. The noise figure is also determined to 3.56dB and 5.58dB at the same frequencies with a power consumption of 19.36mW.

본 연구에서는 일반적인 1, 2단자쌍 회로망의 임피던스 정합회로를 간단하고 빠르게 구할수 있는 새로운 방법을 제시하였다. 먼저 임피던스 정합 대상인 1단자쌍 또는 2단자쌍 회로망에 인덕터와 캐패시터의 조합으로 이루어진 임의의 L-회로망 형태의 정합회로가 포함된 전체 회로망 구조를 설정하고, 이 구조에 대한 전송행렬을 계산한 뒤에 회로망 양단의 부하저항 조건을 적용하여 전체 회로망의 입출력 임피던스를 구하였다. 이 식으로부터 정합용 소자의 정확한 값을 연립방정식을 이용하여 계산하였다. 본 연구의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 CDMA(code division multiple access)용 소자로 널리 사용되는 중간주파수 대 역 withdrawal 가중형 SAW필터 에 본 연구에서 제시한 방법을 적용하여 임피던스 정합 전후의 특성변화를 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 확인하였다. 그 결과 85.38 MHz의 중심주파수에서 비대역폭이 1.2％ 삽입손실이 29 dB, VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio)이 80인 필터를 본 연구방법을 이용하여 정합한 경우에 각각의 성능이 1.8％, 9 dB, 3으로 향상됨을 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 확인하였다. 본 연구결과는 SAW (surface acoustic wave) 디바이스의 정합에 매우 용이하게 이용될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 다른 형태의 1, 2단자쌍 회로망의 임피던스 정합에도 널리 사용될 수 있다.
