A communication system using a length shift keying (LSK) modulation method provides a transmitter having a carrier signal generator for generating carrier signals, and a modulator for modulating lengths of the carrier signals from the carrier signal generator according to combinations of data bits, and a receiver having an integrator for calculating an energy value by integrating the carrier signal that corresponds to a data bit combination, and a data judgment unit for judging the data bit combination by comparing the energy value with a predetermined threshold value. Power is maintained without changing the bandwidth of a communication signal when the communication signal is modulated.

A diode circuit having a passive element property, and an impedance modulator and a direct current (DC) source that use the diode circuit are provided. The diode circuit includes a first diode that generates a predetermined DC and alternating currents (AC) when a radio frequency (RF) signal is applied; and a DC path that is connected in parallel to the first diode, forms a predetermined loop and circulates the DC current within the loop. The DC path includes an inductor or an LC parallel resonator. The DC path includes a second diode that is disposed in the opposite direction to the first diode and connected to the first diode in parallel. The present invention can relieve difficulty in designing an RF circuit.

Provided are an on-chip balun, a transceiver using the on-chip balun, and a method for fabricating the on-chip balun. The on-chip balun includes: a first metal winding including a port grounded and a port to which an unbalanced signal is input; a second winding outputting an induced current generated by the first metal winding as two signals having about equal intensity and a phase difference of about 180°; and a ground shield positioned between the first and second metal windings and having a symmetric structure so as to generate a symmetric parasitic capacitance between the ground shield and the second metal winding. The ground shield can be inserted between the first and second metal windings to remove an asymmetrical parasitic capacitance so as to reduce a phase imbalance and a gain imbalance of an output value of the second metal winding. As a result, a highly balanced on-chip balun can be fabricated.

Disclosed is a dual-band voltage-controlled oscillator using bias switching and output-buffer multiplexing. The dual-band voltage-controlled oscillator includes a power supply unit for supplying a source voltage; plural voltage-controlled oscillation units for outputting different oscillation frequencies according to controls of a certain tuning voltage; plural bias units for generating driving voltages for driving the voltage-controlled oscillation units and supplying the driving voltages to the voltage-controlled oscillation units; and plural buffers for selectively outputting oscillation frequencies of the plural voltage-controlled oscillation units. The present invention implements the dual-band voltage-controlled oscillator through bias switching and output-buffer multiplexing, which brings an advantage of elimination of interference between output frequencies to enhance phase noise characteristics.

After an insulation layer is formed on a substrate, a contact hole is formed through the insulation layer. A recessed plug is formed to partially fill up the contact hole. The recessed plug has a height substantially smaller than a depth of the contact hole. A metal wiring structure is formed on the recessed plug and on the insulation layer. A lower portion of the metal wiring structure, formed within the contact hole, prevents damage to the recessed plug during an etching process for forming the metal wiring structure. Therefore, the recessed plug may be formed without damage thereof even if an alignment error occurs between an etching mask and the recessed plug during metal wiring structure formation.

Provided is a digital modulation circuit constructed with only a digital circuit. The digital modulation circuit includes: a clock generator which generates a reference clock pulse having a predetermined period; an up/down counter which generates a count value having predetermined bits by up-counting or down-counting the reference clock pulse and outputs a bit in the count value as a transmission signal; a controller which determines a counting start/end time point of the up/down counter and determine which one of the up-counting operation and the down-counting operation of the up/down counter is to be performed, according to a value of digital transmission data that is to be transmitted; and a band-pass filter which converts a waveform of the transmission signal output from the up/down counter into a sine waveform.
