Many cellular phone volunteer studies have been conducted since such a social issue is raised that the long time usage of cellular phone by teenagers may increase health risk. While there were various adult volunteer studies using GSM cellular phone on heart rate and blood pressure, very few teenager studies using CDMA phone were conducted. In this study, two volunteer groups of 21 teenagers and 21 adults were exposed to 300 mW CDMA wave for half an hour, and the physiological parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, and skin impedance were investigated. All the parameters fur both groups were unaffected during exposure except the skin impedance of teenager group.

This paper describes a robust mobile u-healthcare system with multiple physiological signs measurement capability in real time with integration of WSN(wireless sensor network) technology and CDMA(code division multiple access) network. A cellular phone receives health data in WSN and performs local physiological signs analysis at a phone processor, and then transmits abnormal data to server for further detail or precise health signal evaluation by a medical doctor over a CDMA network. Physiological signs of the patients are continuously monitored, processed and analyzed locally at cellular phone process to produce useful medical information for diagnosis and tracking purposes. By local simple analysis in cellular phone processor we can save the data transmission cost in CDMA network. By using the developed integrate ubiquitous healthcare service architecture, patients can realize self-health checking so that the prevention actions can be taken earlier. Appropriate self-monitoring and self-management can cure disease and relieve pain especially for patients who suffer from chronic diseases that need long term observation.

To deal with the emergency of the solitary aged people, we have developed a collapse-sensing phone, in which a collapse sensor, a GPS receiving chipset and a CDMA sending chipset are included. The general cellular phone is somewhat expensive communication device using sound and characters, but the collapse-sensing phone is a cheaper and popular version. If the collapse sensor recognizes a certain of collapse of the aged people, CDMA sending chipset will send the location of the phone which is received from satellite by GPS receiving chipset. In this paper, a collapse recognition algorithm which is developed by using much experimental data, will be introduced to explain how to recognize the real collapse from fast sitting or immediate standing after collapse. Once a true collapse is ecognized, the phone-ID and the coordinate will be sent to the server of administrative office via CDMA network. And the position of emergency will be displayed on the GIS with the rescue center.

Remez exchange algorithm was applied to realize an IF SAW filter for CDMA cellular phone systems. A SAW filter with withdrawal weighted transducers was simulated and then fabricated on 42.75.deg. ST-cut Quaritz wafer. Excellent agreement wasobtained between calculated andmeasured responses. Fabricated SAWfilterswere mounted on ceramic SMD package for reducing their size and volume. SAW filters were measured under matched circuit. As a result, 5 dB bandwidth of 1.32 MHz, 33dB bandwidth of 1.76 MHz, insertion loss of 13.8 dB and peak to peak ripple at passband of 0.26 dB were obtained. Linear group delay responses at passband were also obtained. These characteristics were good for practical use of IF SAW filter for CDMA system.

Many cellular phone volunteer studies have been conducted since such a social issue is raised that the long time usage of cellular phone may increase health risk. While there were various volunteer studies using GSM cellular phone on heart rate and blood pressure at abroad, very few studies using CDMA phone were conducted in domestic and abroad. In this study, the volunteer groups of 21 adults were exposed at 300 mW for half an hour, and the physiological parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, and skin impedance were measured. All the parameters' results did not reveal any differences between exposure and non-exposure conditions in adults.

This study examined the effects of exposure to the electromagnetic field emitted by mobile phone on human cognitive function. Total volunteers were twenty and volunteers were separated in two groups. One is teenager group, and the other is adult group. Test was performed in the counterbalanced order(sham-real, real-sham). Subject remained blind to mobile phone status during the exam. The result showed that the exposure to the electromagnetic field significantly speeded up response time fur teenager group. This results suggest that exposure to the electromagnetic field emitted by cellular phones may have a mild facilitating effect on cognitive function in teenager group.

The current diagnostic monitoring(DM) systems of cellular phones have many problems since their original technology is came from Qualcom company. Therefore the domestic phone makers only modify the source program and use them within limited applications. In this paper, we have developed our own DM system which is enable to solve the above problems and can be used as a test tool so that problems of phone communications are found easily and quickly. In addition, we will enhance this system to follow the current wireless technique by improving the protocol and enhancing the functions.

Currently, with the increasing demand for combining cellular phone and PDA, various kinds of PDA-phones are being developed. A typical PDA-phone consists of a CDMA processor and a PDA processor. Generally, a UART serial communication port is used for inter-processor communication. However, the CDMA standard will need more data bandwidth over 2Mbps with the emergence of IMT-2000. The bandwidth requirement is beyond the capability of UART. In this paper, several inter-processor communication mechanisms are analyzed and especially Dual Port Memory and USB were chosen as the candidates for the new communication mechanism. A prototype PDA-phone board has been implemented for experiment. The experimental result shows that Dual Port Memory is better than USB in cost performance.

Due to the fast increase in cellular phone users, public interest on health effect of electromagnetic fields(EMFs) by cellular phonos is gradually increasing. Some EHS(electromagnetic hypersensitivity) patients complain of psycho-neurophysiological symptoms such as headaches, insomnia, memory loss resulting from RF radiation by CDMA cellular phones. However, EHS is difficult to diagnose and depends on the individual's subjective judgement. And we don't know clearly if the cause of EHS is uneasiness or real exposure. There have been various EHS volunteer studies on heart rate, blood pressure and subjective symptoms using GSM phones. But there are few studies on experimental case-control study investigating physiological parameters, subjective symptoms, and perception of EMFs. In this study, two volunteer groups of 17 self-declared EHS and 19 controls were exposed to both sham and real RF exposure by CDMA cellular phones for half an hour each. We investigated not only the physiological parameters such as heart rates, respiration rates and HRVs(hear rate variability), but also the perception of EMFs and subjective symptoms. As the results, EMF exposure did not have any effects on the subjective symptoms or physiological parameters for both groups. For the EMF perception, there was no evidence that EHS group perceived the EMFs correctly than the control group.

Presently, an inductor adapted at MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) which is used for cellular phone or PHS operates at quasi-microwave range over 800 MHz. However, a W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) will use about 2 GHz range. Therefore magnetic film device should be compatible up to 2 GHz. We have deposited Co-Pd-Al-O system film using rf sputtering method which is expected up to 2 GHz, and investigated the effect of Pd content and magnetic field annealing. When Pd composition is 19%, Hk was 118 Oe, and ${\mu}$′showed flat frequency characteristics up to 1.5 GHz. The Q factor (=${\mu}$′/${\mu}$") was 23.3 at 1 GHz, 6.7 at 1.5 GHz and 1.5 at 2 GHz, respectively. Resonance frequency was 2 GHz. Therefore Co-Pd-Al-O thin film could be used at over 1 GHz, and also expected as an inductor material for wide band CDMA type cellular phone.
