Black-box testing needs to prepare fitting test data, execute software, and examine the result. If we test software effectively, not only selecting test cases but also representing test cases are important. In static testing effectiveness of testing activities also depends on how to represent test cases and checklist to validate. This paper suggests a method for finding ineffective critical test cases and reengineering them. An experiment of reengineering digital set-top box software shows the process and results of checking effectiveness and conformance of current test cases and patching test cases. The result shows how much save the test time and improve test coverage by reengineering test cases. Methods of reuse and restructuring test cases are also studied to fit into embedded product-line software.

In general, there is discontinuity phenomenon like a black screen and an irregular sound for repeated play of a finite digital stream. In this paper, for repeated play we analyze the relation between source and stream time causes this phenomenon. We obtain the time relation between video frame rate, audio frame rate, and TS packet transmission rate to eliminate this phenomenon. Using this time relation, we propose a new generation method of elementary stream (ES) and transport stream (TS) to eliminate discontinuity phenomenon. The test results of the generate ES and TS using the proposed method show that the discontinuity phenomenon can be eliminated for repeated play of a finite proposed stream.

In this paper, a demultiplexer for MPEG-2 Transport Stream which can be applied to terrestrial digital broadcast is developed. The demultiplexer separates video, audio, and data from MPEG-2 multimedia stream and transports them to each decoders respectively. While most existing demultiplexers of MPEG-2 transport stream have been developed as hardware systems, but the fast increment of computer's performance enables a software demultiplexer to be worked in realtime. The developed demultiplexer is implemented as a software module called a filter using DirectShow of Microsoft which is based on COM(Component Object Model)and works on the Windows system. The operation of the demultiplexer is verified by using the GraphEdit tool and rendering a test file formatted as MPEG-2 transport stream.

In the case of a system that detects and controls the phase of an alternating voltage, the analog control method compensates the phase offset part by filtering for the detected phase and applies it to the control. However, in the digital control method, precise control cannot be achieved due to an error between the operating frequency of the microprocessor or the microcontroller and the input phase time when controlled using such phase detection. In general, when the method used is a certain time, the accumulated error is compensated and adjusted at random. To solve this problem, a method of detecting a zero point in real time and compensating for the operating frequency of the microprocessor is needed. Therefore, the research to be performed in this paper to reduce these errors and apply them to precise digital control is as follows. 1) Research on how to implement Zero Crossing Detection algorithm through simulation modeling to compensate the zero point to match the operating frequency through detection. 2) A study on the method of detecting zero points in real time through the Zero Crossing Detection design using a microcontroller and compensating for the operating frequency of the microprocessor. 3) A study on the estimation of the rotor position of BLDC motors using the Zero Crossing Detection circuit.

This paper presents the design of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) which is one of the key building blocks in modern wireless communication systems with small VCO gain (K_vco) variation. To compensate conventional large K_vco variation, a series varactor bank has been added to the conventional LC-tank with parallel capacitor bank array. And also, in order to achieve excellent phase noise performance while maintaining wide tuning range, a mixed coarse/fine tuning scheme(series varactor array and parallel capacitor array) is chosen. The switched varactor array bank is controlled by the same digital code for switched capacitor array without additional digital circuits. For use at a low voltage of 1.2V, the proposed current reference circuit in this paper used a current reference circuit for safety with the common gate removed more safely. Implemented in a TSMC 0.13㎛ CMOS RF technology, the proposed VCO can be tuned from 4.4GH to 5.3GHz with the K_vco (VCO gain ) variation of less than 9.6%. While consuming 3.1mA from a 1.2V supply, the VCO has -120dBc/Hz phase noise at 1MHz offset from the carrier of the 5.3 GHz.

For efficient utilization of spectrum resources in TV white space after DTV transition, FCC allowed usage of the spectrum for CR system. The CR system is required to cognize channel usage state for utilizing the unused spectrum in TV white space which coexists various primary and secondary systems. In the meantime, as a demand for high throughput communication had been increased recently, CR systems also consider to adopt channel bonding technology, thus spectrum sensing for channel bonded system is essentially required. In this paper, we propose a novel spectrum sensing algorithm for channel bonding system using a single channel receiver. For IEEE 802.l1af signal, the proposed algorithm provide detection probability of 90% with false alarm probability 10% at SNR -18dB for single channel system and at SNR -7dB for 8 channel bonded system, respectively. Utilizing the proposed scheme, we can detect channel bonded signal using only a single receiver, therefore system overhead for spectrum sensing can be reduced significantly.

In digital video broadcasting-terrestrial (DVB-T), which is the European digital terrestrial television standard, the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been adopted for signal transmission. The main reasons using OFDM are to increase the robustness against the frequency selective fading and impulse noise, and to use available bandwidth efficiently. However, channel variation within an OFDM symbol destroys orthogonality between subcarriers, resulting in inter-carrier interference (ICI), which increases an error floor in proportional to maximum Doppler spread. This paper provides an ICI analysis in both time and frequency domains while existing literatures analyze the ICI effects mainly in frequency domain and proposes the algorithms that estimate the channel impulse response and channel variation using least square (LS) algorithm which is the most simple channel estimation technique. And we propose adaptive channel estimation algorithm that estimates the velocity of terminals. The simulation results show that proposed algorithm has similar performance with about 1.5% computational complexity of noise and ICI reduction LS algorithm in low speed environments.

The design rule of digital communication systems is the reliable data transmission with high spectral efficiency and minimum allowable power. This paper suggests the method that saves the average power by implementing a multi-dimensional constellation in case of multi-carrier communication system. By using multi-dimensional constellations we can relocate constellation points in the form of a sphere. If we simply convert the two-dimensional QAM modulation into multi-dimensional QAM, constellation points of 2 N dimensional cube form are made up. Relocating outermost constellation points of 2 N dimensional cube form into low energy constellation points, the constellation of the 2 N-dimensional sphere form is made up which decreases power consumption. In this paper, the multi-dimensional constellations of 2 N-dimensional sphere form are designed from 16-QAM to 2,048-QAM, and power reductions are obtained by comparing constellations of 2-dimensional QAMs and multi-dimensional constellations of 2 N-dimensional sphere form. The result shows that the average power consumption of higher dimensional constellations increases, because the more a dimension elevates, the more the relocatable constellation points increase. But, the increment of the average power savings decreases as the a dimension elevates. The transmission of the data by using multi-dimensional constellations of the sphere form is effective to save the average power consumption with little hardware complexity.
