A reconfigurable photonic microwave (MW) channel selective filter was demonstrated incorporating a $1{\times}2$ switch based on two tunable polymeric resonators with different free spectral ranges. Each resonator, consisting of two cascaded rings with an electrode formed on one of them, plays a role as an on/off switch through the thermooptic effect. The optical signal carrying the MW signal is routed to either port of the switch and detected to show the filtered output at the frequency determined by the free spectral range of the corresponding resonator. When the channel centered at 10 GHz was chosen, the extinction ratio was ${\sim}30dB$, the bandwidth 1 GHz, and the electrical power consumption 4.1 mW. For the other channel located at 20 GHz, we have achieved the extinction ratio of ${\sim}30dB$, the bandwidth of 2 GHz, and the required power of 8.0 mW. Finally the crosstalk between the selected and blocked channels was higher than 24 dB.

To reaffirm the use of a mainstream CMOS process for designing passive-like attenuator structures, a linearly controlled variable attenuator is realized with 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ 2-poly 4-metal CMOS process. It uses the П configuration for large attenuation range and suitable matching property. Compared to conventional passive-like CMOS attenuators, it is demonstrated that this work advances the frequency band from MHz to ㎓ (DC- l㎓), and reduces the size to 700${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$${\times}$300${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.. Both simulation results and test results are provided. They show the improved linear relation between attenuation and control voltage. It is very useful in CDMA or GSM band, which uses under 1㎓ frequency band. An alternative topology, Bridged-T configuration, is proposed to get over the limit of applications by elevating operation bandwidth. The proposed topology covers over DC-2㎓ frequency band, which means that the proposed architecture can cover the tripleband (800MHz CDMA/GSM, 1.5㎓ GPS, 1.9㎓z PCS system) in applications as well. The simulation results are provided.

This paper proposes a simple and highly effective RACMC(Real-time ATM Cell Monitoring and Control) algorithm and the resulting bandwidth gain effects art considered. RACMC algorithm performs usage parameter controls according to the monitoring informations of input data cells generated from the accepted connections and the controlling informations set by the M/P(Management Plane) for that connection. The results of monitoring and controlling actions for ATM data cells are transmitted to the M/P and the control parameters in lookup table are updated according to the condition of currently used bandwith. Therefore, the proposed algorithm can allocate network resource optimally and solve the several tantalizing problems that the existing cell control algorithm have, that is, the difficulty in controlling as monitoring very bursty traffics, unavoidable processing delay, and limited input buffer size when implemented. By the performance analysis using computer simulation, RACMC algorithm proves to be very effective especially in ATM network as implemented simply.

This paper proposes a transmitted power saving method for underwater acoustic sensors considering the acoustic wave propagation characteristic that propagation loss increases more rapidly in higher frequency band. In the proposed scheme, sensor nodes are divided into a few groups based on the distance between sink node and the sensor node, and each group uses its own frequency band. The node group with longer distance uses lower frequency and the node group with shorter distance uses higher frequency. By means of such a distance-dependent frequency allocation, all sensor nodes are able to maintain a certain target signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), but also save transmitted power. In addition, the optimum size of node group is obtained, and also a frequency allocation algorithm is proposed accordingly. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme saves transmitted power by more 10 dB comparing non-grouping methods.

This paper introduces a phased-array single-channel transceiver beamformer IC built using 65nm CMOS technology, covering the 8-16 GHz range and targeting the X and Ku bands for radar and satellite communications. Each signal path in the IC features a low noise amplifier (LNA), power amplifier (PA), phase shifter (PS), and variable gain amplifier (VGA), which allow for phase and gain adjustments essential for beam steering and tapering control in typical beamforming systems. Test results show that the phase-compensated VGA offers a gain range of 15 dB with 0.25 dB increments and an RMS gain error of 0.27 dB. The active vector modulator phase shifter delivers a 360° phase range with 2.8125° steps and an RMS phase error of 3.5°.

This paper presents a beam-forming receiver with polyphase In-phase/Quadrature-phase (I/Q) network for airborne communication. In beam-forming receiver, the insertion loss (IL) difference between input path increases the receiver noise figure (NF). The major element for generating IL difference is the impedance variation of phase shifter. In order to maintain a constant IL in every phase, this paper propose a lossless polyphase I/Q network based beam-forming receiver. The proposed lossless polyphase I/Q network has low Q-factor and high impedance for drive back-end VGA (Variable gain amplifier) block with low insertion loss. The 2-stage VGA controls in-phase and quadrature-phase amplitude level for vector summation. The proposed beam-forming receiver prototype is fabricated in TSMC $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The prototype cover the $360^{\circ}$ with $5.6^{\circ}$ LSB. The average RMS phase error and amplitude error is approximately $1.6^{\circ}$ and 0.3dB.

In this paper, we propose a fast and efficient method that improves the performance of embedded zerotree wavelet(EZW) algorithm introduced by Sharipo． In the EZW algorithm, two bits are allocated for a symbol, but it is inefficient for compression and the zerotree coding wastes much time at encoding. In this paper, in order to increase the efficiency of compression, it will be allocated a variable bit for a symbol at each subband. To reduce the encoding time, we use a backscan method and lifting scheme instead of filter bank in wavelet transform. Experimental result are shown that the algorithm suggested in this paper has a better performance about 0.3∼1.5㏈ PSNR while the encoding time was speeded up more than 2-10 times compared with the EZW algorithm.

인터넷에서의 효율적인 스트리밍 서비스(Streaming Service)를 위해서는 안정된 전송률의 보장이 중요하며, 네트워크의 대역폭이 제한적이기 때문에 네트워크를 공유하는 경쟁 트래픽의 형평성에 대한 고려도 필요하다. 이러한 필요성에 따라 멀티미디어 데이터 전송의 주요 프로토콜인 UDP(User Datagram Protocol)에 혼잡제어 메커니즘 적용에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 대표적으로 가용대역 폭 측정을 통한 혼잡제어 기법이 있다. 이 기법은 혼잡제어를 하기 위해서 네트워크의 상태에 따라 가변하는 가용대역폭(Available Bandwidth)을 측정하고 이것을 기반으로 전송률을 조절하는 방식을 말한다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크 상태에 따라 혼잡제어를 하기 위해서 가용대역폭을 보다 빠르고 정확하게 측정하고, 이것을 기반으로 스트리밍 서비스에 맞게 전송률을 조절하는 방법을 제안하였다. 실험을 통해 본 논문에서 제안한 방법이 기존의 가용대역폭을 측정하는 스트리밍 프로토콜 보다 성능이 개선이 되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Because each resource in LTE-Advanced system and network's shapes such as bandwidth, error rate change variably, it is judged that it is impossible to control service continuity with procedural, artificial, and static control method applied to the existing voice service. This research suggests a QoS management mechanism to support the service continuity effectively based on policy control. It means a method in which a subscriber's terminal collects information about its current condition and base station around, and a base station, through the data collected by monitoring inner or adjacent base station, shares related data and converges, controlling service continuity on its own.

In this paper, we developed a system for measuring a passive intermodulation distortion signal of the mobile communication RF module having a wide band characteristic. The Broadband was designed to represent the characteristics of the receiver to meet the low noise characteristics and wideband characteristics in the RF receiver were to represent a wide dynamic range(high dynamic range)from the RF receiving end. PIMD designed passive intermodulation distortion signal measured by applying the FPGA / DSP in the system was measured to record the program on the PC. Variable up to 650MHz-2700MHz showed up to-138dBc measured PIMD3.
