The barcode area extraction from images has been extensively studied, and existing methods exploit frequency characteristics or depend on the Hough transform (HT). However, the slantedness of the images and noise affects the performance of these approaches. Moreover, it is difficult to deal with the case where an image contains multiple barcodes. We therefore propose a barcode detection algorithm that is robust under such unfavorable conditions. The pre-processing step implements a probabilistic Hough transform to determine the areas that contain barcodes with a high probability, regardless of the slantedness, noise, and the number of instances. Then, a frequency component analysis extracts the barcodes. We successfully implemented the proposed system and performed a series of barcode extraction tests.

This paper, mathematically analyzes the performance of newly proposed TR-UWB system which the frequency components of a UWB pulse were processed so that the system could be implemented with ADCs of a few MHz sampling rate, and presents the comparison with an existing frequency-domain based TR-UWB system. The comparison is mainly based on the SNR ratio which depends on the mean and the variance of the frequency components. We also shows that the simulation results to support the theoretical analysis where the comparison is made under the IEEE 802.15.3a channel model as well as AWGN channel.

Exploiting multiple antennas at mobile devices is difficult due to limited size and power. In this paper, a distributed MIMO protocol achieving the capacity of conventinal MIMO systems is proposed and analyzed. For exploiting distributed MIMO features, Quantize-Map-and-Forward (QMF) scheme shows improved performance than Amplify-and-Forward (AF) scheme. Also, the protocol based on multiple access channel (MAC) is proposed to improve the multiplexing gain. We showed that sufficient condition of the number of slave nodes to achieve the gain of a MAC based protocol. Because the base station can support multiple clusters operating in distributed MIMO, the total cellular capacity can be extremely enhanced in proportional to the number of clusters.

Closed-form expressions for capacity bounds of multiuser diversity combined with maximum ratio transmission (MRT) and maximum ratio combining (MRC) at each link are presented under the assumption of independent and quasi-static flat multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Rayleigh fading channels. The analysis results precisely agree with the numerical verification results and clearly show the impact of MRT/MRC on multiuser diversity.

Multi-Platform Image and Intelligence Common data link(MPI-CDL) systems are designed to transmit the imaginary and signal intelligence data at an aeronautical to ground line of sight(LOS) link. This paper proposes a method to predict a link availability and analyzes the required link margin to satisfy a given link availability for MPI-CDL systems. To estimate a link availability the proposed method applies the conditional probability so that both a rain attenuation and a multipath fading are considered simultaneously. Link margins to meet the link availability for MPI-CDL systems are calculated according to an operating environment including frequencies, flight altitudes and transmission ranges. The required link margins for actual unmanned air vehicle systems are also given by simulation results.

In this paper, we compare the performance of representative MIMO techniques such as space-time block code, closed-loop transmit diversity, and V-BLAST, etc., in IEEE 802.22 environments. We first develope deco-ding algorithms of the representative MIMO techniques and design a MIMO-OFDM system employing QPSK, 16 QAM, 64 QAM to cover several transmission rates. Since the frequency band used for IEEE 802.22 systems belongs mostly to V/UHF band and the angular spread of the received signal at the base station is very small, there Is a significant correlation between the signals from transmit antennas. Thus, in this paper, we compare the performance of MIMO-OFDM systems employing only two Tx antennas in correlated fading environments.

본 논문에서는 JPEG Pleno에서 제공하는 디지털 홀로그램 표준화 데이터를 압축하는 방법을 제시한다. 디지털 홀로그램의 수치 복원에서 시각화를 위한 랜덤 위상의 추가는 간섭현상으로 인한 스페클 노이즈와 더블어 홀로그램의 압축 효율을 떨어트린다. 홀로그램은 완전 복소의 부동소수점 형태의 데이터로 구성되며 초고해상도와 스페클 노이즈로 인해 홀로그램 특성에 맞춘 압축기술 개발이 필수적이다. 먼저, 다양한 웨이블릿 필터를 이용하여 홀로그램 데이터에 대한 주파수 특성 분석을 진행하여 필터 종류에 따른 에너지 집중도를 분석한다.

본 논문에서는 정현파 소음을 제어하기 위한 filtered-x LMS에 바탕을 둔 새로운 적응 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 이러한 알고리듬은 두개의 연속적인 계수조정 식으로, 제어기의 계수를 조정한다. 서로 독립인 각 주파수별로 처리하기 때문에 빠른 수렴을 얻을 수 있다. 두번째식은 이차경로로 인한 위상지연을 추정한다. 정현 파 신호 주파수보다 4배 이상 빠른 표본화 주파수를 선택하여 추정된 위상지연 추정 값은 $2{\pi}f_0$만큼 오차를 나타내며, 이 값은 $\pi$2보다 작다. 정현파 신호의 주파수를 알면 이러한 오차는 $2{\pi}f_0$를 더함으로써 제거할 수 있다. 이러한 방법은 위상지연이 $\pi$2보다 큰 경우 수렴속도를 증가시킨다는 사실을 실험을 통하 여 알 수 있다. 추정된 위상지연은 제어기 계수값을 조정하는데 필요한 필터링된 참조신호를 발생시키믄데 사용된다. 참조신호의 위상지연이 각 주파수 성분별로 수행 되기 때문에, 콘볼루션 연산이 생략되어 계산량을 줄일 수 있다. 또한 연속적으로 위상지연을 추정하기 때문에 시변 상황에 적용이 가능하다. 조정식의 수렴조건을 유도하였다. 제안된 알고리듬은 제어기 계수를 추정하는데 바이어스가 없으며, 위상 지연추정을 위한 수렴상수의 최대허용치는 제어기계수에 대한 수렴상수에 반비례함을 이론적으로 분석을 통해 알 수 있다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안된 알고리듬이 filtered-x LMS 알고리듬에 바탕을 둔 다른 알고리듬보다 환경변화에 우수한 성능을 보임을 알 수 있다.

OFDM technique uses multiple sub-carriers for the data transmission. Therefore, bit error rate increases because of inter-carrier interference caused by nonlinear high power amplifier and carrier frequency offset. Wireless OFDM transmission over multi path fading channels is characterized by small transmission gain in multiple sub-carrier frequency interval. Therefore bit error rate increases because of burst errors. Inter-leaver and convolution error control coding are effective for the reduction of this burst error. Pilot symbol is used for the channel estimation in OFDM systems. However, imperfect channel estimates in this systems degrade the performance. The performance of this convolution coding OFDM systems using inter-leaver, gauged by the bit error rate, is analyzed considering the nonlinear high power amplifier, carrier frequency offset and channel estimation error.

In this paper, the bit error performance for the reverse link of a synchronous direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) system employing an imperfect power control scheme over a frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel is analyzed. The system capacity degradation due to power control error (PCE), which is approximated by a log-normally distributed random variable, is estimate as a function of a standard deviation of the PCE. In addition, the impact of the multipath intensity profile (MIP) shape and the number of resolvable paths on the performance of the synchronous transmission is investigated. To estimate the system capacity, the coded bit error performance is evaluated and compared with the conventional CDMA. It is found tat synchronous transmission has less sensitivity to imperfect power control and eases the power control requirements. In particular, as the decay constant $\delta$ of MIP increases, the synchronous transmission in the DS-CDMA reverse link results in a significant BER improvement over the asynchronous transmission even in the presence of imperfect power control. We further conclude that the capacity can be improved by employing the synchronous transmission.
