Tera 대역으로 일반적으로 여겨지는 300 ~ 3000GHz 대역을 이용하여 무선 근거리 개인 영역 통신 (WPAN) 에서 20~40Gbps 급의 데이터 통신을 하기 위한 국제 표준화가 현재 IEEE802.15표준화 그룹에서 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 표준화의 진행 상항과 더불어 테라 대역의 주파수 할당, 물리계층에서 테라 대역을 이용하여 WPAN이 가능하기 위한 요소 기술로서 빔포밍 기법에 대하여 정리한다. 주파수 할당은 비허가 주파수 대역의 가능성 여부 및 시기 등에 대하여 지난 수년간 테라 대역과 관련되어 ITU에서 발표된 문서들을 요약한다. 테라 대역에서 WPAN을 위한 물리계층의 요소 기술로서는 테라 대역의 주파수 특성인 전파의 직진성 및 거리에 따른 전력 감쇄를 극복하기 위하여 저전력 빔포밍 기술에 대하여 소개한다. 본 논문은 향후 약 5년 후에 표준화가 완성될 것으로 예상되는 시점에서 국내의 통신 관련 연구자에게 초고속 데이터 통신을 가능하기 위한 테라 대역 WPAN시스템을 준비하는데 있어서 유용한 자료로서 사용될 수 있을 것이라 여겨진다.

This paper suggested the model which could calculation propagation path. It was calculation in reflection spot which was done last in line of sight according to the change of angle of incidence. And road widths and intersection angles were to be changed to consider various types of urban area. As a result, propagation path increased when angles of an intersection changed to 15$^{\circ}$~75$^{\circ}$ and attenuated to roughly 1[dB]~2[dB] than existed model.

본 논문에는 초광대역 통신시스템을 위한 주파수 영역의 통계학적 채널 모델을 서술하고 있다. 채널 모렐링은 3개의 사무실 환경, 46개의 송, 수신 위치에서 얻어진 23,000개의 채널응답함수로 부터 얻어졌다. 측정실험을 통해 얻어진 데이터를 바탕으로 주파수 변화에 따른 경로감쇄지수 변화에 대해 서술한 후 전파환경과 가시경로의 존재여부에 따른 수신신호의 확률분포모델을 연구하였다. 마지막으로는 수신된 주파수 톤에 해당하는 수신파워의 표준편차와 같은 통계적 특성들을 고찰하였는데, 가시경로가 존재하는 경우에는 송, 수신기 사이의 거리가 멀어지면서 표준편차 값이 커지고 그에 따라 수신 주파수 톤의 파워가 평균 수신파워에서 일정한 범위 안에 들어올 확률이 떨어지는 것을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 원영상의 주파수특성 성형에 의한 오차확산 영상이진화 기법을 제안하였다. 오차확산에 의한 영상이진화 처리에서 이진화영상에 내재하고 있는 에지정보의 열화를 감쇄하기 위한 방법으로 원영상의 주파수특성을 활용하는 기법을 도입하였다. 주파수특성은 원영상에서 수평방향과 수직방향으로 얻고, 이들 각각에 가중치를 부여하였다. 수평과 수직의 주파수특성을 성형한후, 영상이진화 기법에서 양자화처리 수행시 이를 활용하였다. 주파수특성 성형을 위한 필터는 2종을 제안하여 적용하였다. 제안한 필터를 적용한 오차확산 영상이진화 처리를 수행한 후, 실험결과를 고찰시 이진화영상의 평탄영역은 기본특성을 유지하면서 에지정보의 특성이 부각되는 주관적인 화질특성이 얻어짐을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study aimed to present a method to effectively suppress metal artifacts caused by spinal fusion surgery during spinal MRI study. For this purpose, a phantom made of spinal surgery screws was created to reproduce the metal artifact. Then, images were acquired with 1.5T and 3.0T MRI to evaluate changes in metal artifacts according to magnetic field strength. In addition, metal artifacts were evaluated by increasing the receive bandwidth to 200, 400 and 800 Hz/PX. As a result, metal artifacts occurring in images obtained from the 1.5T MRI decreased by approximately 52.2% compared to images obtained from the 3.0T MRI, showing a significant difference (p<0.05). In particular, the signal loss and signal pile up areas were reduced by approximately 52.81% and 42.71%, respectively, showing a significant effect in suppressing metal artifacts. On the other hand, when images were acquired while increasing the receive bandwidth from 200 to 800 Hz/PX, there was no significant effect, with a decrease of up to 8.93% for the 1.5T MRI and up to 10.98% for the 3.0T MRI (p>0.05). As a result of this study, increasing the receive bandwidth reduced signal loss and reduced some metal artifacts, but did not have a significant effect because it did not suppress signal pile up. However, when the magnetic field strength was reduced from 3.0T to 1.5T, signal loss and signal pile up were greatly reduced, effectively improving the metal artifact. Therefore, in order to suppress metal artifacts caused by spinal fusion surgery, study using a low magnetic field MRI can be said to be the most effective method.

This paper addresses a modified spectral subtraction schemes which is suitable to speech recognition under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) noisy environment such as the automatic speech recognition (ASR) system in car. The conventional spectral subtraction schemes rely on the SNR such that attenuation is imposed on that part of the spectrum that appears to have low SNR, and accentuation is made on that part of high SNR. However, such postulation is adequate for high SNR environment, it is grossly inadequate for low SNR scenarios such as that of car environment. Proposed methods focused specifically to low SNR noisy environment by using weighting function for enhancing speech dominant region in speech spectrum. Experimental results by using voice commands for car show the superior performance of the proposed method over conventional methods.

The SiOC film of carbon centered system was prepared using bistrimethylsilylmethane (BTMSM) and oxygen mixed precursor by the chemical vapor deposition. The dielectric constant is measured by MIS(metal/insulator/Si) structure, but it could decrease the reliability because the uniformity is not assured. To research the dielectric constant of SiOC film, the range of low polarization was researched in SiOC film using the optical analysis and hardness, and then calculated the dielectric constant of SiOC film with amorphous structure of high degree. After annealing, the dielectric constant of SiOC film was decreased owing to the lowering of polarization, and FTIR spectra of the main bond was shifted to higher wave number. The main bond of 950~1200 cm-1 was composed of the Si-C and Si-O bonds. The intensity increases in Si-O bond infers the bonding strength became stronger than that of deposited film. Annealed SiOC film showed 2.06 in dielectric constant.

This paper presents a new method for improving the quality of images corrupted by an external source that generates an attenuation and scattering of light like dust, water droplets and fog. Conventional defog methods typically encounter a distortion such that the restored image has low contrast and oversaturation of color in some regions because of the mis-estimated airlight and wrong media transmission. Therefore, in order to mitigate these problems, we propose a robust airlight selection method and local saturation evaluation method for estimating media transmission. The proposed method addresses the wrong media transmission and over-saturation problems caused by the mis-estimated airlight and thereby improves the restored image quality. The results of relevant experiments of the proposed method against conventional ones confirm the improved accuracy of atmospheric light estimation and the quality of restored images with regard to objective and subjective performance measures.

This paper proposes method that uses Time-Difference-of-Arrival(TDOA) of Forward Pilot signals from base stations(BS) arriving at a mobile station(MS) as a position location method of CDMA MS. MS searcher does acquisition of BS Pilot signals and measurement of TDOAs. In order to do it, its processing gain is very important. Proportional relationship of the gain to the signal coherent integration interval is theoretically derived and analyzed and field test is performed to show acquisition of weak Pilot signals and stable measurements of TDOA values by increasing the gain. Also, signal strength decrease exponentially by the distance it travels. Therefore, improvement of the searcher gain makes possible to acquire Pilot signals at a location far away from BS. Variation of possible position estimation area relative to the signal strength within a cell is simulated with computer. Neglecting shadow effect it indicated necessity of detecting signals below -35dB in order to cover over 90% of cell area. Thus, efforts to maximize searcher coherent integration interval in order to acquire weak Pilot signals are required for expansion of position estimation area and measurement of stable TDOA values.
