A new modified lossless intra-coding method based on a cross residual transform is applied to HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding). The HEVC standard including a multi-directional spatial prediction method to reduce spatial redundancy encodes the pixels in a PU (Prediction Unit) by using neighboring pixels. In the new modified lossless intra-coding method, the spatial prediction is performed by pixel-based DPCM but is implemented by block-based manner by using cross residual transform on the HEVC standard. The experimental results show that the new lossless intra-coding method reduces the bit rate of approximately 8.4% in comparison with the lossless-intra coding method in the HEVC standard and the proposed method results in slightly better compression ratio than the JPEG2000 lossless coding.

In this paper, new lossless coding method of spectral coefficients for audio codec is proposed. Conventional lossless coder uses Huffman coding utilizing the statistical characteristics of spectral coefficients, but does not provide the high coding efficiency due to its simple structure. To solve this limitation, new lossless coding scheme with better performance is proposed that consists of bit-plane transform and run-length coding. In the proposed scheme, the spectral coefficients are first transformed by bit-plane into 1-D bit-stream with better correlative properties, which is then coded intorun-length and is finally Huffman coded. In addition, the coding performance is further increased by applying the proposed bit-plane coding selectively to each group, after the entire frequency is divided into 3 groups. The performance of proposed coding scheme is measured in terms of theoretical number of bits based on the entropy, and shows at most 6% enhancement compared to that of conventional lossless coder used in AAC audio codec.

In this study, waveguide-to-CPW transitions were developed for integrating waveguide and MMIC at V-band. The finite element method for numerical analysis and repeated experiments were performed to propose two types of waveguide-to-CPW transition. Using quartz substrate, proposed structures were designed for low loss as well as broadband characteristics. These waveguide-to-CPW transitions showed a good reliability and insensitivity to matching precision, and they could be fabricated with lower cost than that of the conventional connectors. Proposed two types of the structure showed insertion loss less than 1.9 dB and return loss better than 14 dB from 53 GHz to 60 GHz except unwanted resonance region, respectively.

In this paper, we report on a high performance 94 GHz MMIC mixer module using 0.1-um metamorphic high electron mobility transistors (MHEMTs). A modified resistive mixer with a RF amplifier was proposed in this work for low conversion loss and high LO-RF isolation. The MMIC mixer module was fabricated using a MMIC chip and CPW-waveguide transitions. The fabricated mixer chip and module showed a low conversion loss of 6.3 dB and 9.5 dB, and LO-RF isolations of 24.8 and 30.4 dB at 94 GHz, respectively. This results are superior to those of previously W-band (75-110 GHz) MMIC mixers.

In this paper, a single balanced diode Mixer for the homodyne FMCW radar to detect distance and velocity of a vehicle target is designed and implemented using a microstrip line and two schottky barrier beam lead diodes. This mixer is optimally designed to have less a conversion loss within the 100 MHz bandwidth with a little LO injection power and a higher LO isolation as soon as possible through the embedded electrical length of microsrtrip line placed between the coupler and diode matching, considering together LO matching condition. The measured results show 6 dB of conversion loss, 23 dB LO/RF isolation and 3 dBm of input 1l dB, respectively.

The 1dB compression point (P1dB) is +0.5 dBm for all band.

본 논문은 웨이블릿을 적용하여 영상의 다중 압축에 대하여 논한다. 정보 전송에서 가장 중요시되는 것은 전송 속도이고, 이 전송 속도는 데이터의 용량에 반비례한다. 따라서 고용량의 데이터를 전송하는데는 많은 불이익이 따르게 되므로 데이터 압축이 필요하게 되었다. 하지만 압축률은 데이터의 손실에 비례하므로 높은 압축률을 사용할 경우 많은 데이터를 손실하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 수많은 데이터 중에서도 많이 사용되는 영상 데이터에 웨이블릿 변환을 적용하여 영상 데이터를 다중 압축함으로서 압축률을 높이고 영상 데이터의 손실을 최대한 줄이는 방법을 보였다. 결론적으로, 영상데이터에 웨이블릿을 적용하여 다중 압축을 함으로서 같은 압축률에서 영상 데이터의 손실을 일반적인 1단계 변환 압축 방법보다 줄이게 되었음을 보였다.

We report the first demonstration of 10 Gb/s wavelength conversion in a Mach-Zehnder interferometric wavelength converter monolithically integrated with a loss-coupled DFB probe source. The integrated device is fabricated using a BRS (buried ridge stripe) structure with an undoped InP clad layer on the top of a passive waveguide to reduce high propagation loss. The device exhibited a static extinction ratio of 11 dB. Good performance at 10 Gb/s is obtained with an extinction ratio of 7 dB and a power penalty of 2.8 dB at a 10$^{-9}$ bit error rate.

In this paper, two kinds of E-plane microstrip-to-waveguide transitions are optimally designed and fabricated for combining output power from multiple small-power amplifiers in a WR-28 waveguide because conventional K connectors cause unnecessary insertion loss and adaptor loss. The transition design is based on target specifications such as a center frequency of 35 GHz, bandwidth of ${\pm}500MHz$, 0.1 dB insertion loss and 20 dB return loss. Performance variation caused by mechanical tolerance and assembly deviation is fully evaluated by three dimensional electromagnetic simulation. The fabricated back-to-back transitions with 16 mm and 26.57 mm interstage microstrip lines show insertion loss per transition of ~0.1 dB at 35 GHz and average 0.2 dB over full Ka band. Also the back-to-back transition shows return loss greater than 15 dB, which implies that the transition itself has return loss better than 20 dB.
