최근들어 저온플라즈마를 이용한 생물학적 응용분야가 각광을 받고 있다. 특히 전기전도도를 가진 전해질 내에서 형성된 액상 플라즈마는 열손상없이 암, 세균 및 비정상 장기조직의 제거가 가능하다는 점에서 기존 시술들이 가지는 문제를 해결할 수 있다. 허리통증을 유발하는 탈출 수핵을 대용량으로 제거하기위한 플라즈마발생 전극에 관한 연구가 수행되었다. 수핵 분해량을 늘리기 위해서는 플라즈마를 통하여 다량의 수산화기 라디컬을 형성, 수핵표면에 조사해야 한다. 이를 위하여 6개의 텅스텐 전극표면에서 기포를 발생시켜 플라즈마 발생면적을 넓힐 수 있었다. 텅스텐 전극들은 캡톤코딩과 세라믹 스페이서를 통하여 분리되었고, 전극의 후방에는 SUS 재질의 환형 접지전극을 배치하여 6개의 텅스텐 전극표면에서 모두 기포가 발생할 수 있도록 하였다. 시술적용시 플라즈마 및 전극이 가지는 제한 조건은 단백질 변성을 막기위한 섭씨 45도 이하의 온도 상승과 조직에 대한 기계적인 손상 방지를 위한 2.5 mm 이하의 전체 전극 굵기이다. 이를 만족하는 가운데 수산화기 라디컬 형성을 증대할 수 있는 전극의 구조를 결정하기 위하여 1-D 전기 열유체 모델 도입하였다. 모델에서 도출된 기포의 두께를 바탕으로 다중전극간의 거리 조절을 통하여 플라즈마 방전구조를 전극 - 전극 (기포두께${\times}2$ > 전극간 거리)과 전극 - 기포표면 (기포두께${\times}2$ < 전극간 거리)으로 통제하였다. 형성된 플라즈마의 소모전력, 전자 밀도및 수산화기 라디컬의 회전온도를 분석하기 위하여 0.9% 염화나트륨 수용액, 1.6 S/m, 전해질에서 플라즈마 형성를 형성하고 전기신호 및 광학신호를 관측하였다. 전극에 인가된 전압은 340 VRMS이며 운전주파수는 380 kHz이다. 실험 결과, 전극 - 기포표면 방전구조는 전극 -전극 방전구조에 비하여 전해질의 저항역할로 인하여 방전전류가 3.4 Ipp에서 1.6 Ipp로 감소하였으나, 기포표면에서의 물분자의 분해로 인하여 수산화기 라디컬에서의 발광세기는 약 4배 증가하였다. 또한 수산화기의 회전온도 분포상에서도 전극 - 기포표면 방전은 주변 물분자의 열교환으로 인하여 전극 -전극간 방전의 1500K 에 비하여 낮은 400K를 보였다. 이는 전극-기포표면 방전구조의 전극이 낮은 온도의 수산화기를 다량으로 형성할 수 있음을 시사하며, 카데바를 이용한 실험에서 220초에 걸쳐 약 87%의 수핵을 기계적 손상 및 단백질 변형없이 효과적으로 제거함을 확인하였다.

In low-power VLSI systems, it is effective to suppress leakage current by shutting down megablocks in idle states. Recently, multi-threshold voltage CMOS (MTCMOS) is widely accepted to shutdown power supply. However, it requires short wake-up time as operating frequency increases. This causes large current surge during wake-up process, and it often leads to system malfunction due to severe Power line noise. In this paper, a novel wake-up scheme is proposed to solve this problem. It exploits pipelined wake-up strategy in several stages that reduces maximum current on the power line and its corresponding power line noise. To evaluate its efficiency, the proposed scheme was applied to a multiplier block in the Compact Flash memory controller chip. Power line noise in shutdown and wake-up process was simulated and analyzed. From the simulation results, the proposed scheme was proven to greatly reduce the power line noise compared with conventional schemes.

With the rapid development of mobile communication technology, the technologies based on the diverse digital modulation schemes have been used for the frequency range of over 800 MHz. The only radiation immunity has been tested using only AM signal based on IEC 61000-4-3 without any consideration of the influence of electromagnetic radiation in Korea. However, it has not been tested by wideband digital modulation signals such as cdmaone(IS-95), WCDMA and PM signal. The purpose of this study was to review the standards. In addition, the input signals were analyzed and tested considering the environments in Korea. The results showed that the devices were influenced by digital modulation signal or PM signal more than by AM signal.

The performance of underwater acoustic(UWA) communication system is sensitive to the Inter-Symbol Interference(ISI) due to delay spread develop of multipath signal propagation. And due to limited frequency using acoustic wave, UWA is a low transmission rate. Thus, it is necessary technique of Space-time code, equalizer and channel code to improve transmission speed and eliminate ISI. In this paper, UWA communication system were analyzed by simulation using these techniques. In the result of simulation, the proposed Space-time code, Turbo code, and Zero forcing techniques is shown that improved performance than conventional UWA communication.

In this paper we design and fabricate the Skeleton slot antenna which operates dually in GSM 900 and 1800 bands. Its simulation results are also compared with the measured ones. The original Skeleton slot antennas had the problems of unsatisfactory VSWR characteristics and considerably changing horizontal radiation patterns at high frequencies, but the proposed design improves these problems using multi-path feeding network and folding structure. The size of the radiator is 154 $\times$ 106(mm), and its height is 33(mm), and the reflector of 190$\times$190(mm) is used. The material of the radiator and reflector is 1mm-thick aluminum. Using NTC process reduces the mass production cost significantly. The measured return losses are 13.7 % at 900 MHz band and 16.4 % at 1800 MHz band, respectively. The horizontal radiation beam width is stable within $\pm$ 1$^{\circ}$ at both frequency bands.

In this paper, we introduce the low-density parity-check (LDPC) coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) subframe reordering scheme for achieving equal combined power allocation in type I hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) systems and analyze the performance improvement by using the channel capacity. Also, it is confirmed that the layered decoding for subframe reordering scheme in H-ARQ systems gives faster convergence speed. It is verified from numerical analysis that a subframe reordering pattern having larger channel capacity shows better bit error rate (BER) performance. Therefore the subframe reordering pattern achieving equal combined power allocation for each subframe maximizes the channel capacity and outperforms other subframe reordering patterns. Also, it is shown that the subframe reordering scheme for achieving equal combined power allocation gives better performance than the conventional Chase combining scheme without increasing the decoding complexity.

This paper is about power line communication(PLC) over the low power voltage grid. The main advantage with power line communication is the use of an existing infrastructure. The PLC channel can be modeled as having multi-path propagation with frequency-selective fading, typical power lines exhibit signal attenuation increasing with length and frequency. OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is a modulation technique where multiple low data rate carriers are combined by a transmitter to form a composite high data rate transmission. To implement the multiple carrier scheme using a bank of parallel modulators would not be very efficient in analog hardware. Each carrier in an OFDM is a sinusoid with a frequency that is an integer multiple of a base or fundamental sinusoid frequency. Therefore, each carrier is a like a Fourier series component of the composite signal. In fact, it will be shown later that an OFDM signal is created in the frequency domain, and then transformed into the time domain via the Discrete Fourier Transform(DFT).

The small loop electromagnetic (EM) method is a fast and convenient geophysical tool which can provide resistivity distribution of shallow subsurface. Especially, it can be a useful alternative of resistivity method in a very conductive environment such as a reclaimed saline land. We applied the multi-frequency small loop EM method for the site investigation of reclaimed saline land. We inverted the measured EM data using one dimensional (1D) inversion program and merged to obtain three dimensional (3D) resistivity distribution over the survey area. Finally, comparing he EM results with the drill log and measured soil resistivity sampled at 16 drill holes, we can define the site character such as thickness of landfill, salinity distribution, and etc.

Moving-target detection using frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar systems has recently attracted attention. Detection tasks are more challenging with noise resulting from signals reflected from strong static objects or small moving objects(clutter) within radar range. Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA) approach for FMCW radar to detect moving objects in noisy environments is employed in this paper. In detail, compensation and calibration are first applied to raw input signals. Then, RPCA via Gradient Descents (RPCA-GD) is adopted to model the low-rank noisy background. A novel update algorithm for RPCA is proposed to reduce the computation cost. Finally, moving-targets are localized using an Automatic Multiscale-based Peak Detection (AMPD) method. All processing steps are based on a sliding window approach. The proposed scheme shows impressive results in both processing time and accuracy in comparison to other RPCA-based approaches on various experimental scenarios.

This paper presented efficient transceiver structure using sub-band processing for underwater communication in terms of covertness and performance improvement. In aspect of covertness, encrypted coded-bits are divided into groups, and center frequency and sub band are determined by coded-bits of each group. Therefore, as center frequencies are changed randomly, it maintain the covertness effectively. In aspect of performance improvement, the performance of underwater communication mainly depends on multi-path propagation characteristics, Doppler-spread, and frame synchronization. Accordingly, in order to overcome these effects, non-coherent energy detector and turbo equalization method are employed in receiver side. Furthermore, optimal frame synchronization was proposed. Through the simulation and lake experiment, performance analysis was conducted. Especially in the lake experiment, as a result of applying optimal frame synchronization method to receiver structure, errors are corrected in most frames.
