차세대 이동통신 서비스나 Beyond 4G 이동통신 서비스의 단말기는 유비쿼터스 정보화 사회의 도래에 발맞춰 기존의 single mode 시스템에서 탈피하여 3G LTE, Mobile WiMAX(WiBro), DMB, IEEE 802.11b/g/n 등의 다중 이동통신 서비스를 지원하는 단말기로 발전하는 추세이다. 또한 고속 데이터 전송을 위한 MIMO 및 스마트 안테나 등의 다중 접속 기능은 다중 밴드/다중 모드/다중 경로 처리 구조의 RF transceiver를 요구하고 있다. 이러한 융합 universal 단말기를 구현하기 위해서는 여러 이동통신 서비스를 지원하는 "Reconfigurability and Convergence" RF transceiver가 필요하지만 현재의 집적 기술로는 0-수 GHz에 할당되어 있는 모든 이동통신 서비스를 지원하는 단말기 구현에 제약사항이 많기 때문에 미국 및 유럽의 국외 연구기관과 기업에서는 2-3개의 선택적인 이동통신 서비스를 지원하는 RF transceiver를 개발하여 세계 시장에서 경쟁 준비를 하고 있다. 본 고에서는 차세대 이동통신 단말기의 RF transceiver 칩 셋 기술과 국내외 개발 동향에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

이 논문에서는 구름과 같은 기상 상태의 제약 없이 자료 획득이 가능한 SAR 자료를 이용하여 토지 피복 특성을 구분하고자 하였다. 기존 단일 주파수, 편광 상태의 자료만을 제공하는 SAR 자료를 이용한 분류에서의 낮은 분류 정확도를 향상시키고자 이 논문에서는 다중 시기 C 밴드 자료이면서 서로 다른 편광 상태의 자료를 제공하는 Radarsat-1(HH)와 ENVISAT(VV) 자료를 분류에 이용하였다. 분류 기법으로 Random Forests를 적용한 결과, 단일 편광 상태의 자료만을 이용하였을 때에 비해서 보다 향상된 분류 정확도를 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper suggests a panorama image stitching system which consists of an image matching algorithm: modified SURF (Speeded Up Robust Feature) and an image blending algorithm: multi-band blending. In this paper, first, Modified SURF is described and SURF is compared with SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform), which also gives the reason why modified SURF is chosen instead of SIFT. Then, multi-band blending is described, Lastly, the structure of a panorama image stitching system is suggested and evaluated by experiments, which includes stitching quality test and time cost experiment. According to the experiments, the proposed system can make the stitching seam invisible and get a perfect panorama for large image data, In addition, it is faster than the sift based stitching system.

ZnO 나노선 구조는 나노선 구조를 통해 입사한 빛을 산란시켜 광흡수를 촉진시키고, 바닥 전극으로 바로 이어진 수직의 1차원 구조를 통해 전자가 빠르게 이동할 수 있으며, 넓은 표면적을 가지고 있는 등의 장점을 가지고 있어 오래전부터 광전소자에 이용되었다. 하지만 ZnO 물질 자체의 밴드갭 에너지가 3.2 eV로 비교적 큰 편이라 가시광 영역의 빛을 흡수, 이용하기 위해서는 작은 밴드갭을 가지는 광감응 물질이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 저온의 수열합성법을 통해 합성한 ZnO 나노선 구조 상에 Cd 계열의 무기물 양자점을 증착하여 이종구조를 형성하는 방법을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 양자점인 CdS와 CdSe는 벌크 밴드갭 에너지가 각각 2.3 eV, 1.7 eV로 가시광 영역의 빛을 흡수할 수 있으며, ZnO 나노선과 type-II 밴드구조를 가지기 때문에 전자-정공 분리 및 포집에 유리하다. 합성된 구조를 이용하여 photoelectrochemical 특성을 분석하였으며, 그 결과 양자점의 증착으로 광전류 생성이 향상됨을 확인하였다. 특히 ZnO 나노선 상에 CdS 양자점 증착 후 추가적으로 CdSe 양자점을 증착하여 다중접합 나노선 구조를 형성한 경우 광전류 생성이 가장 크게 향상된 결과를 확인하였다.

Hyperspectral imaging is used in a wide variety of research since the image is obtained with a wider wavelength range and more bands than multispectral imaging. However, there are limitations, namely that each band has a shorter wavelength range, the computation cost is increased in the case of numerous bands, and a high correlation between each band and noise bands exists. The previous analysis method does not produce ideal results due to these limitations. Therefore, in the case of using the hyperspectral image, image analysis after eliminating noise bands is more accurate and efficient. In this study, noise band elimination of the hyperspectral image preprocessing is highlighted, and we use fractal dimension for noise band elimination. The Triangular Prism Method is used, being the typical fractal dimension method of the curved surface. The fractal dimension of each band is calculated. We then apply the Continuum Removal method to normalize. A total of 35 bands are estimated by noise band with a threshold value that is obtained empirically. The hyperion hyperstpectral image collected on the EO-1 satellite is used in this study. The result delineates that noise bands of the hyperion image are able to be eliminated with the fractal dimension and Continuum Removal method.

Multispectral image classification of individual tree species is often difficult because of the spectral similarity among species. In this study, we attempted to analyze the suitability of hyperspectral image to classify coniferous tree species. Several image sets and classification methods were applied and the classification results were compared with the ones from multispectral image. Two airborne hyperspectral images (AISA, CASI) were obtained over the study area in the Gwangneung National Forest. For the comparison, ETM+ multispectral image was simulated using hyperspectral images as to have lower spectral resolution. We also used the transformed hyperspectral data to reduce the data volume for the classification. Three supervised classification schemes (SAM, SVM, MLC) were applied to thirteen image sets. In overall, hyperspectral image provides higher accuracies than multispectral image to discriminate coniferous species. AISA-dual image, which include additional SWIR spectral bands, shows the best result as compared with other hyperspectral images that include only visible and NIR bands. Furthermore, MNF transformed hyperspectral image provided higher classification accuracies than the full-band and other band reduced data. Among three classifiers, MLC showed higher classification accuracy than SAM and SVM classifiers.

InfiniBand technology is being accepted as the future system interconnect to serve as the high-end enterprise fabric for cluster computing. This paper presents the design and implementation of the InfiniBand system interconnect, focusing on an InfiniBand host channel adapter (HCA) based on dual ARM9 processor cores The HCA is an SoC tailed KinCA which connects a host node onto the InfiniBand network both in hardware and in software. Since the ARM9 processor core does not provide necessary features for multiprocessor configuration, novel inter-processor communication and interrupt mechanisms between the two processors were designed and embedded within the KinCA chip. Kinch was fabricated as a 564-pin enhanced BGA (Bail Grid Array) device using 0.18${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS technology Mounted on host nodes, it provides 10 Gbps outbound and inbound channels for transmit and receive, respectively, resulting in a high-performance cluster system.

In this paper, we introduce an low complexity and low power IR-UWB (impulse radio ultra wideband) baseband transceiver for wireless sensor network. The proposed baseband, implemented by TSMC 0.18um CMOS technology, has a simple structure in which a simplified packet structure and a digital synchronizer with 1-bit sampler to detect incoming pulses are used. Besides, clock gating method using gated clock cell as well as customized clock domain division can reduce the total power consumption drastically. As a result, the proposed baseband has about 23K digital gates with an internal memory of 2Kbytes and achieves about 1.8mW@1Mbps power consumption.

In this paper, we propose a new digital hearing aid circuit that compensates the impaired threshold level changing nonlinearly using a multi-band compensation technique. In the algorithm the hearing frequency range 8kHz is divided into 64 bands which is 125Hz resolution. Each band is controlled finely to compensate the hearing impaired proportional to personal ROM table. The multi-band is introduced using a FFT/IFFT Processor which makes to control in frequency domain. As a result, the proposed circuit is more efficient $15\%$ than a conventional ones such as FIR filter architecture in terms of the compensation gun and accuracy. The hardware size was reduced $65\%$ than a general FFT by pre-handling of the input data.

In this paper, a microstrip-fed multiband monopole antenna for GPS(Global positioning system)/WiMAX(:Worldwide interoperability for microwave access)/WLAN(Wireless Local Area Networks) for applications was designed, fabricated and measured. The proposed antenna is based on a microstrip-fed structure, and composed of two rectangular double rings and L strips pair and then designed in order to get triple band characteristics. To obtain the optimized parameters, we used the simulator, Ansoft's High Frequency Structure Simulator(HFSS). The proposed antenna is made of $27.0{\times}54.0{\times}1.0mm3$ and is fabricated on the permittivity 4.4 FR-4 substrate. The experiment results shown that the proposed antenna obtained the -10 dB impedance bandwidth 300 MHz (1.325~1.625 GHz), 400 MHz (2.275~2.675 GHz), and 600 MHz (3.15~3.75 GHz) covering the GPS/WiMAX/WLAN bands. Also, the proposed antenna measured gain and radiation patterns characteristics for required operating bands.
