We presents the construction of radio frequency pad area array package modules which operate at radio frequency of 224MHz, and proposes the structure of RF module packages to improve its electrical characteristics. The module of RF PAA package was constructed in the configuration of three dimensional stacked package and reduced size. RF PAA packages showed the optimized and improved gain of 2dB by partitioning the RF transceiver with 3 dimensional stacked PAA packages.

Future mobile services will require data transmission rates of 100 Gbps or higher due to the universalization of virtual and augmented reality devices. Therefore, THz technology, which uses an ultrahigh frequency band of 200 GHz or higher, is expected to be a candidate for such high-quality services. This article describes the current status of THz radio propagation characteristics, device and system developments, and network requirements to identify the overall trends in THz wireless communication technology.

We demonstrate a next-generation high-capacity mobile fronthaul based on radio over fiber (RoF) technology, which links between a digital unit and a radio unit supporting two frequency assignments and $2{\times}2$ multiple input, multiple output antennas. To confirm the technical feasibility of a mobile fronthaul, we experimentally investigate its down- and uplink end-to-end performances including the optical and radio frequency (RF) signal path. Frequency-dependent performance deviations, error vector magnitude variations, overall system performance variations caused by optical to electrical conversion, and intermediate frequency to RF conversions are examined. Experimental verifications on multiple LTE uplink signals are performed for the first time. We also demonstrate several commercial mobile Internet services, YouTube video streaming, and file transfers using off-the-shelf mobile devices, through a mobile fronthaul based on RoF.

Superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) is a sensitive detector of magnetic flux signals. Up to now, the main application of SQUIDs has been measurements of magnetic flux signals in the frequency range from near DC to several MHz. Recently, cryogenic low-noise radio-frequency (RF) amplifiers based on DC SQUID are under development aiming to detect RF signals with sensitivity approaching quantum limit. In this paper, we review the recent progress of cryogenic low-noise RF amplifiers based on SQUID technology.

Due to the development of drones, drone missions are performed in various fields, and BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line Of Sight) flight is performed in a wide area. Most drones operate through radio frequency (RF) communication and can only fly in a limited radius of about 1-2 km. To overcome this, in this paper, we propose a multi-communication protocol-based drone control system to control drones performing missions in BVLOS using RF and LTE (Long Term Evolution). The proposed system consists of a control unit and a drone unit. The control unit transmits one control signal generated from the remote controller through RF and LTE. The drone unit classifies the control signal transmitted through RF and LTE according to the priority of the communication protocol and delivers it to the FC (Flight Controller). Through the proposed control system, it is possible to overcome the RF communication distance limit and prevent the communication disconnection situation.

Reinforced concrete buildings will be deteriorated as passed time or effect of an earthquake, etc in main elements. In order to manage such cracks, time and efforts, expense, etc, are required. So micro lead switch sensors are embedding or bonding in flexible specimens, and these are smart elements for diagnostic crack damages by external force such as physical load, dynamic load, etc in this study. The monitoring to crack damages are studied using radio frequency system. If load is received on the center of flexible specimens, embedded and bonded lead switch sensors will be destroyed, and these become to send signals of damages at radio frequency system connected with lead switch sensors. This study is fundamental research of the diagnostic system for architectural elements using radio frequency.

TiN thin films were deposited on a $SiO_2(2000{\AA})/Si$ substrate by radio-frequency(rf) magnetron sputtering. TiN films were prepared under varying $N_2$ concentration in $N_2/Ar$ gas mix, rf power and gas pressure, and investigated in terms of deposition rate, resistivity and surface morphology. As $N_2$ concentration increased, the deposition rate and the surface roughness of the films decreased and the resistivity increased. With increasing rf power, the deposition rate increased but the resistivity was decreased. As gas pressure increased, little change in deposition rate was obtained but the resistivity rapidly increased. TiN film with resistivity of $2.46{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ at 1 mTorr was formed. It was observed that there existed a correlation between the deposition rate and resistivity. In particular, the gas pressure has a strong influence on the resistivity of thin films.

In this paper, the power transfer efficiencies (PTEs) of magnetic resonance (MR) wireless power transmission (WPT) and radio frequency (RF) WPT are compared as a function of the distances between resonators (or antennas). The PTE of the C-loaded loop resonators during MR WPT was theoretically calculated and simulated at 6.78MHz, showing good agreement. The PTE of the patch antennas, whose area is the same as the C-loaded loop resonator during MR WPT, was theoretically calculated using the Friis equation and the equation by N. Shinohara and simulated at 5.8 GHz. The three results from the Friis equation, the equation by N. Shinohara, and from a full wave simulation are in strong agreement. The PTEs, when using the same size resonators and antennas are compared by considering the distance between the receiver and transmitter. The compared results show that the MR WPT PTE is higher than that of the RF WPT PTE when the distance (r) between the resonators (or antennas) is shorter. However, the RF WPT PTE is much higher than that of the MR WPT PTE when the distance (r) between the resonators (or antennas) is longer since the RF WPT PTE is proportional to $r^{-2}$ while the MR WPT PTE is proportional to $r^{-6}$.

This study was carried out to investigate a radio-frequency/vacuum (RF/V) drying ability and physical properties of the green boards and the pre-kiln dried boards with 40 mm thickness, and the 70 mm-thick green board of Iroko (Milicia excelsa). The major results were summarized as follows; The drying time from initial moisture content (MC) of 110% to approximate 6% MC for a 40mm-thick green board was 192 hours, and about 200 hours for the 70 mm-thick green board, respectively and so the RF/V drying times were dramatically shortened compared to conventional kiln drying time. The case hardenings at the RF/V drying completion stage test were very negligible, thus represented almost no existence of the residual stress. The checks were very slightly formed on all of the boards during the RF/V drying test, but crook appeared quite severely. During the accelerating test, the water-resistant treated specimens had not experienced any signs of checking occurred, whereas the control boards had encountered very frequent occurrences of end checking and slight surface checking. There were no observations of warping and discoloring regardless of the treatment.

Radio Frequency Identification system based on EPC(Electronic Product Code) Network Environment can read or write information of tagged objects, using Rf signals without direct contact. This advantage which is to provide storage ability and contactless property is better than Bar-code system. Mobile RFID system which integrates Mobile system with RFID system will provide new additional service to users. However, an advantage for obtaining information of objects using RF signal causes personal privacy problem. In this paper, we propose techniques that can protect personal privacy based on mobile. Our scheme provides privacy protection of users and is more efficiently than another application service.
