Abstract

 

In this presentation, recent research activities at the RFIC Center of Kwangwoon University are introduced. Among lots of research results, tunable devices applications of ferroelectric material using BaSrTiO3, intermodulation and noise suppression of a linearized, low-noise hybrid microwave amplifier, and a highly efficient Doherty feedfoward linear power amplifier for W-CDMA base-station applications are discussed in detail.

 

Short Biography

 

Jong-Chul Lee: Jong-Chul Lee is now an Associate Professor in the Dept. of Radio Sci. and Eng., Kwangwoon University. Before he joined the University in 1996, he was a senior researcher in Photonic Devices Lab., Hyundai Electronics Ind. Co., Ltd., Korea where he was involved in the development of several high speed laser diodes and photo diodes, and transmitter/receiver modules. He is also serving as a Project Director at ITRC RFIC Center, Kwangwoon University, which is funded by the Ministry of Information and Communication since Aug. 2000. He is a Guest Professor in the Dept. of Electronics and Communication at Harbin Institute of Technology since December 2001. He was a Visiting Scholar at the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Eng., Univ. of California, San Diego from Dec. 2002 to Feb. 2004. He has authored and co-authored over 80 papers in international conference and journals. His research interests include Optoelectronics, RF-Photonics, RF MEMS, RF Application for Ferroelectric Materials, Millimeter-wave Passive and Active Devices, MMIC and OEMIC. He is a member of IEEE, IEE, KEES, and KITS.

 

Jin-Joo Choi: Jin-Joo Choi received the B.S. degree in physics from Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea, in 1983, the M.S. degree in physics from Georgia State University, Atlanta, in 1985, and the Ph.D. degree in nuclear engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1991. In 1991, he joined the Vacuum Electronics Branch, Electronic Science and Technology Division, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC. His work at NRL was on the development of high power millimeter wave gyro-amplifiers for EW and radar applications. In 1997, he moved to Kwangwoon University, Seoul, Korea where he is currently associate professor of school of Electronics Engineering. His research interests include high power vacuum electronics, passive and active solid state devices.

 

Jong-Heon Kim: Jong Heon Kim received the B.S. degrees in electronic communication engineering from Kwangwoon Univ. in 1984, the M.S. degree in electronic engineering from Ruhr Univ. Bochum, Germany, in 1990, and the Ph. D. degree in electronic engineering from Dortmund Univ., Germany, in 1994. Since March 1995, he is professor in the Dept. of Radio Science and Engineering at Kwangwoon Univ., Seoul, Korea. He is also a technical advisor at TelASIC, LA, USA and a research associate at Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, Canada, working advanced techniques for power amplifiers for wireless industry. His current interests are high efficient linear power amplifier design for wireless and satellite communications application.
