최근 우리는 다양한 환경 하에서 수많은 안전사고를 마주하고 있다. 현재 연안 해상에서 활동 중 위험에 마주쳤을 경우에는 인간의 시야와 경험에만 의지한 구조 활동만 이루어지고 있다. 이에 따라 연안 해상 사고로 인한 사망 및 실종 사고가 많이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 사고는 주로 구조의 지연 때문에 발생한다고 볼 수 있다. 이러한 구조 지연에 따른 사고를 줄이기 위해서, 본 연구에서는 신속한 구조를 하기 위해 GPS, RF, LoRa 무선통신 기술 등 최신 IoT 기술을 이용해 누구나 손쉽게 사용할 수 있는 무선 송수신 단말기 제작에 대한 연구를 수행했다.

A 3-5 GHz UWB radar chip in 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process is presented in this paper. The UWB radar transceiver for surveillance and biometric applications adopts the equivalent time sampling architecture and 4-channel time interleaved samplers to relax the impractical sampling frequency and enhance the overall scanning time. The RF front end (RFFE) includes the wideband LNA and 4-way RF power splitter, and the analog signal processing part consists of the high speed track & hold (T&H) / sample & hold (S&H) and integrator. The interleaved timing clocks are generated using a delay locked loop. The UWB transmitter employs the digitally synthesized topology. The measured NF of RFFE is 9.5 dB in 3-5 GHz. And DLL timing resolution is 50 ps. The measured spectrum of UWB transmitter shows the center frequency within 3-5 GHz satisfying the FCC spectrum mask. The power consumption of receiver and transmitter are 106.5 mW and 57 mW at 1.5 V supply, respectively.

In this study, we fabricated a metamorphic high-electron-mobility transistor (mHEMT) device with a T-type gate structure for the implementation of W-band monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) and investigated its characteristics. To fabricate the mHEMT device, a recess process for etching of its Schottky layer was applied before gate metal deposition, and an e-beam lithography using a triple photoresist film for the T-gate structure was employed. We measured DC and RF characteristics of the fabricated device to verify the characteristics that can be used in W-band MMIC design. The mHEMT device exhibited DC characteristics such as a drain current density of 747 mA/mm, maximum transconductance of 1.354 S/mm, and pinch-off voltage of -0.42 V. Concerning the frequency characteristics, the device showed a cutoff frequency of 215 GHz and maximum oscillation frequency of 260 GHz, which provide sufficient performance for W-band MMIC design and fabrication. In addition, active and passive modeling was performed and its accuracy was evaluated by comparing the measured results. The developed mHEMT and device models could be used for the fabrication of W-band MMICs.

본 연구는 SAR의 최적화를 위해 다양한 시퀀스 환경에서 영상 변수와 전자파흡수율 (SAR)의 관계를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 T2, T1, STIR, T1 FLAIR 그리고 T2 FLAIR 시퀀스를 대상으로 장비에서 계산된 전신(whole body, WB) SAR와 두부 (head) SAR을 측정하였다. 그리고 영상 단면의 수와 재위상화 RF의 숙임각(FA)을 조절하며 SAR를 평가하였다. 그 결과, 모든 시퀀스에서 영상 단면의 수가 증가할수록 SAR는 증가하였다. T1과 T1 FLAIR는 상관계수(r)가 각각 0.876, 0.876 (WB SAR, head SAR), 0.867, 0.867 (WB SAR, head SAR)이었고 STIR는 0.898, 0.899 (WB SAR, head SAR)로 가장 높은 연관성을 보였다 (p<0.05). 재위상화 RF의 FA을 증가시키며 적용하였을 때, WB SAR와 head SAR는 모든 시퀀스에서 전반적으로 상승하였다. T1, T2 시퀀스에서 상관계수(r)가 각각 0.897, 0.898 (WB SAR, head SAR)과 0.914, 0.915 (WB SAR, head SAR)로 높은 연관성을 보인 반면, 반전회복기법을 적용된 시퀀스에서는 상대적으로 FA 증가에 덜 민감한 양상을 보였다. 따라서 비교적 TR이 낮은 시퀀스 환경에서는 단면의 개수를 최소화하고 고속스핀에코기법을 적용하여 동작 비율이 높은 시퀀스 환경에서는 재위상화 RF의 FA을 줄이는 것이 SAR를 줄이는 데 효과적이다.

This paper presents a single-pole eight-throw(SP8T) switch based on proposed a radio-frequency(RF) microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switches. The proposed switch was driven by a double stop(DS) comb drive, with a lateral resistive contact. Additionally, the proposed switch was designed to have tapered signal line and bi-directionally actuated. A forward actuation connects between signal lines and contact part, and the output becomes on-state. A reverse actuation connects between ground lines and contact part, and the output becomes off-state. The SP8T switch of 3-stage tree topology was developed based on an arrangement of the proposed RF MEMS switches. The developed SP8T switch had an actuation voltage of 12 V, an insertion loss of 1.3 dB, a return loss of 15.1 dB, and an isolation of 31.4 dB at 6 GHz.

The WiBro was adopted to the 3G international standard. By the change of specification from Wave 1 to Wave 2, MIMO technology is applied in order to increase the speed of downlink. By MIMO the RF part of WiBro base station is increased to 2 Tx paths. Therefore, the size of RF part is bigger and material cost is increased. For reducing these demerits, the RF part which is consisted of PA, LNA, and TDD switch is designed to one complex RF unit. Also, the experimental results of the RF unit have been discussed. Since the complex RF unit is more compact than the RF part of Wave 1 base station, it can be used as the RF part of Wave 2 base station with 2T/2R MIMO.

For the combination of MRI and magnetic particle hyperthermia(MPH), we investigated the relative heating efficiency with respect to the strength of the static magnetic field under which the magnetic nanoparticles are to be heated by RF magnetic field. We performed nanoparticle heating experiments at the fringe field of 3T MRI magnet with applying the RF magnetic field perpendicularly to the static magnetic field. The static field strengths were 0T, 0.1T, 0.2T, and 0.3T. To prevent the coil heat from conducting to the nanoparticle suspension, we cooled the heating solenoid coil with temperature-controlled water with applying heat insulators between the solenoid coil and the nanoparticle container. We observed significant decrease of heat generation, up to 6% at 0.3T(100% at 0T), due to the magnetic saturation of the nanoparticles of 15 nm diameter under the static field. We think MPH is still feasible at low magnetic field lower than 0.3T if stronger RF magnetic field generation is permitted.

RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링으로 제조한 SmCo/Cr 박막의 스퍼터 제조조건에 따르는 자기적 특성에 관하여 연구하였다. Sm 조성이 약 20 at %이고 Cr(50 nm)/SmCo(40 nm, 50W, 20mT)/Cr(150 nm, 100W, 30 mT)인 조건에서 제조한 시편에서 3.2 kOe의 최대 보자력을 얻었다. SmCo/Cr의 보자력은 하지층 표면거칠기와 SmCo의 조성에 크게 영향을 받았다. Cr 하지층의 거칠기는 Ar 분압과 두께가 증가할수록 증가하고 이는 SmCo 입자의 고립을 증가시켜 보자력이 증가된다. 본 SmCo 박막 증착시 사용한 RF 투입전력 및 Ar 분압은 SmCo의 조성을 변화시키며 최적의 조성(약 20 at.%Sm)에서 최대 보자력을 보인다. 또한 RF 파워 증가나 Ar 분압 증가에 의해 생긴 Cr 하지층의 표면거칠기, 치밀하지 않은 주상 계면구조등의 결함이 자구벽 이동을 방해하여 보자력 증가에 영향을 끼친다.

In high field (> 3 T) MR imaging, the magnetic field inhomogeneity in the target object increases due to the nonuniform electro-magnetic characteristics and relatively high Larmor frequency. Especially in the body imaging, the effect causes more serious problems resulting in locally high SAR(Specific Absorption Ratio). In this paper, we propose an optimized parallel-transmission RF coil element structure and show the utility of the coil by FDTD simulations to overcome the unwanted effects. Three types of TX coil elements are tested to maximize the efficiency and their driving patterns(amplitude and phase) optimized to have adequate field homogeneity, proper SAR level, and sufficient field strength. For the proposed coil element of 25 cm ${\times}$ 8 cm loop structure with 12 channels for a 3.0 T body coil, the 73% field non-uniformity without optimization was reduced to about 26% after optimization of driving patterns. The experimental as well as simulation results show the utility of the proposed parallel driving scheme is clinically useful for (ultra) high field MRI.
