Tracking the location of patients in medical facilities is important to guarantee the patients' safety and to improve the service quality. Previous studies related to location tracking systems based on Bluetooth communication need numerous prerequisite information and multiple devices to improve the accuracy. In this paper, we propose a beacon-based space partition scheme that assigns different arrangement patterns of beacons to different spaces and composes groups with the similar value of RSSI to minimize prerequisite information and the number of beacons. The proposed scheme considers a pattern arrangement scheme to minimize intereference between neighbor patterns. We also verified the applicability of our scheme to monitor the patient location by using experimental results.

Car Navigation System with Global Positioning System (GPS) can display position direction and the shortest cut of one's destination. The position datum for GPS in World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS-84) coordinates system need to transform Bessel coordinates system and process Map projection. Since 1987, GPS has used the WGS-84. WGS-84 is a geocentric equipotential ellipsoid of revolution which is defined four parameters. In this study, by comparing the digitized topographical map with the digital map of GPS datum we can consider the technique of WGS84 digital map.

Automotive radar that is one of the most important equipment in high-tech vehicles, is commonly used to detect the speed and range of objects such as cars. In this paper, in addition to objects detection, a method of retrieving precipitation information using the automotive radar data is proposed. The proposed method is based on the fact that the degree of attenuation of the returned radar signal differs depending on the precipitation intensity and the assumption that the distribution of precipitation is constant in short spatial and temporal observation. The purpose of this paper is to assesses the possibility of retrieving precipitation information using a vehicle radar. To verify the feasibility of the proposed method during actual driving, a method of estimating precipitation information for each time segment of various precipitation events was applied. From the results of driving field experiments, it was found that the proposed method is suitable for estimating precipitation information in various rainfall types.

In this paper, a frequency selective surface(FSS) with bandstop operation for radio-frequency spectrum management is presented. The proposed FSS is composed of patterns of fractal-based miniaturized unit cells for stable performance for angles of incidence and polarizations. For practical applications requiring high productivity and environmental compatibility, we fabricated a film-type FSS by screen-printing using Ag ink, rather than a conventional manufacturing method using a printed circuit board. To validate this study, we measured the transmission characteristics of the proposed FSS using the free-space measurement method, and observed the received strength of signal penetrating the FSS film applied to a wall.

In this paper, the RF-modules composed of front-end, frequency synthesizer, modulator/demodulator and power control multi channel WLL personal system for W-CDMA using 10 [MHz] RF channel bandwidth has been implemented and considered. The measured transmission power is 250 [mW] which is very close to the required value. The measured flatness of power at the final output stage is ${\pm}1.5[dB]$ over the required bandwidth of the receiver. In addition, it is found that the chip rate transmitting spread signal is set to 8.192 [MHz], the required rate. The frequencies of RF_LO signal and LO signal of the modulator and the demodulator measured by a frequency synthesizer are satisfied with design requirements. The operating range of the receiving strength signal indicator and AGC units shows 60 [dB] respectively. Also the measured phasor diagram and eye pattern for deciding the RF modules compatible with baseband digital signal processing part are shown good results.

This paper reports on the design of a multiband multiple-input and multiple-output(MIMO) antenna for long-term evolution(LTE) vehicular communication and includes an analysis of the throughput field test results that were acquired by mounting the antenna to a vehicle. The antenna used for the field test was designed as a planar structure and included multiple stubs to obtain multiband resonant characteristics operating in the LTE(0.8~0.9 GHz, 1.7~2.2 GHz), Wi-Fi(2.4~2.48 GHz), and wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE)(5.8~5.9 GHz) frequency bands. For the field test, antenna prototypes were mounted on the dashboard and roof of a vehicle and connected to the experimental LTE modem. The data transfer rate(throughput), signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio(SINR), and reference signal received quality(RSRQ) were measured and analyzed in various real-world radio wave environments. Based on these results, the relationship between the SINR and throughput according to the field intensity is confirmed.

In this paper, a roll angle estimation method of a rolling airframe using a low grade GPS and a roll rate gyro is proposed. The strength of the received signal of the GPS antenna attached on the rolling airframe is maximized when the GPS satellite is placed on the plane determined by the x-axis of the rolling airframe and the GPS antenna axis. Under the assumption that the x-axis of the rolling airframe is coincident with its velocity vector, the roll angle of the rolling airframe is calculated from the relative position vector of the satellite to the GPS when the GPS signal strength becomes maximum. The Kalman filter combined with a roll rate gyro is introduced to increase the determination accuracy of the roll angle. The performance of the proposed method is verified via 6-DOF simulations.

Recently, indoor location detection has become an important area in the IoT (Internet of Things) environment for various indoor location-based services. In this paper, our proposed method shows that a virtual region can be divided electromagnetically according to specific facilities or services in various IoT application areas called zones. The MLP (Multi-Layer Perceptron) method is applied to recognize the service zone at the current position. The MLP utilized an RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) signal of the BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) Beacon as input data and made decisions to affiliate the zone of the current region as output. In order to verify the proposed method, we constructed an experimental environment similar in size to an actual rail station using four of the beacon and two zones.

The spatial distribution of electromagnetic fields in the human body can be adjusted by using high dielectric materials. This method has a complementary compared to other methods. However, it can be used as a powerful dielectric shimming tool in certain applications. It can be manufactured in a geometrically free shape and a pad manufactured according to the purpose can be applied without any change of the system. Especially in ultrahigh magnetic field (UHF) MRI, the clinical high dielectric pad used to increase the intensity of the transmit (B1+) and receive (B1-) fields, which has low sensitivity due to the high operating frequency, has great potential. In addition, there are few studies applied to UHF MRI. Therefore, in this study, a high dielectric material pad made of calcium titanate suspension was developed in the laboratory. And the signal increase of clinically useful images was confirmed in various protocols of UHF 7T MRI.
