When an optical disc is being played. the pick-up converts light to analog signal at first. The analog signal is equalized for removing the inter-symbol interference and then the equalized analog signal is converted into the digital signal for extracting the synchronized data and clock signals. There are a lot of algorithms that minimize the BER in extracting the synchronized data and clock when high. density optical disc like BD is being played in low speed. But if the high-density optical disc is played in high speed, it is difficult to adopt the same extraction algorithm to data PLL and PRML architecture used in low speed application. It is because the signal with more than 800MHz should be processed in those architectures. Generally, in the 0.13-${\mu}m$ CMOS technology, it is necessary to have the high speed analog cores and lots of efforts to layout. In this paper, the parallel data PLL and PRML architecture, which enable to process in BD 8x speed of the maximum speed of the high-density optical disc as the extracting data and clock circuit, is proposed. Test results show that the proposed architecture is well operated without processing error at BD 8x speed.

In order to recognize a situation from a environment which provides an intelligent service, we propose state-transition based situation modeling which is suitable for a low computing power and restricted resources like embedded systems, and we designed its application to a situation-action converter(SAC)which is consist of two parts; situation detector recognized wanted situations and action generator generated various control actions. Then, we implemented a situation manager for smart scheduler service by using a SAC which is installed to a ARM processor based embedded Linux evaluation board.

A conventional motor in a crane has a taco generator to feed back the number of turns to a main controller. The taco generator is contacted to a motor shaft through the coupling. Errors in a crane have often occurred because the coupling has worn out while the motor is turning. In this paper, we design the device of the frequency to voltage transducer in a motor. The device is composed of a rotary encoder, a speed measurement using PIC16F84 controller, a display, and a direction-decision block. The rotation of a motor is recognized by the rotary encoder and microcontroller counts the number of turns of a motor. The emergency signal is generated if the frequency goes over or below the speed limit of a motor. And the device can acknowledge the rotation direction of the motor after 6。 rotation. The simulation results and the test for a implemented device have shown that the transducer of a frequency to a voltage can replace a taco generator in a crane.

This paper introduces the design or parallel Pipeline high-speed analog-to-digital converter(ADC) for the high-resolution video applications which require very precise sampling. The overall architecture of the ADC consists of 4-channel parallel time-interleaved 10-bit pipeline ADC structure a]lowing 200MSample/s sampling speed which corresponds to 4-times improvement in sampling speed per channel. Key building blocks are composed of the front-end sample-and-hold amplifier(SHA), the dynamic comparator and the 2-stage full differential operational amplifier. The 1-bit DAC, comparator and gain-2 amplifier are used internally in each stage and they were integrated into single switched capacitor architecture allowing high speed operation as well as low power consumption. In this work, the gain of operational amplifier was enhanced significantly using negative resistance element. In the ADC, a delay line Is designed for each stage using D-flip flops to align the bit signals and minimize the timing error in the conversion. The converter has the power dissipation of 280㎽ at 3.3V power supply. Measured performance includes DNL and INL of +0.7/-0.6LSB, +0.9/-0.3LSB.

In recent SATCOM systems, transparent transponders are widely used. The transponder is, however, the most vulnerable part in SATCOM systems against jamming interference. All signals within the transponder bandwidth are frequency-converted and retransmitted with IM(intermodulation) products. In this paper, the method is proposed that makes the SJR(Signal-to-Jammer ratio) better. The bandwidth spreading of the user signal can reduce the jammers effects. The geostationary satellite system is modeled to simulate and to certificate the capability of suppression of jammers by DSSS. If signal is partially-overlapped by jammer and PG(processing gain) is 16.9 [dB] for 2ASK jammer and about 16.8 [dB] for QPSK jammer, when BER is $10^{-3}$.

Electro-optical sigma-delta modulators are the core module of digital receiver to digitize wideband radio-frequency signals directly at an antenna. Electro-optical sigma-delta modulators use a pulsed laser to oversample an input radio-frequency signals at two Mach-Zehnder Interferometer(MZI) and shape the quantization noise using a fiber-lattice accumulator. Decimation filtering is applied to the quantizer output to construct the input signal with high resolution. The jitter affects greatly on reconstructing the original input signal of modulator. This paper analyzes the performance of first order single bit electro-optical sigma-delta modulator in the time domain and the frequency domain. The performance of modulator is analyzed by using asynchronous spectral averaging of the reconstructed signal's spectrum in the frequency domain. The reference value of time jitter is presented by analyzing the performance of jitter effects. This kind of jitter value can be used as a reference value on the design of modulators.

Modulation type classifier based on statistical moments has been successfully employed to classify PSK signals. Previously, the classifier developed utilizes the statistical moment of samples of the received signal phase, which may be difficult to extract from received signal. In this paper we propose a new moments-based classifier to classify PSK signals by using the moments of the demodulated signal for PSK. THe demodulated signal can be easily extracted from the conventional demodulation of PSK. The evaluation of the performance of the proposed classifier for PSK signals has been investigated in additive white Gaussian noise environment using the exact distribution of the demodulated signal. The performances of classifier in terms of probability of misclassification were evaluated. We found that the coherent system classifier gave 4dB improvement for BPSK and 3dB for QPSK over noncoherent system classifier, when the probability of misclassification is 10 and m equals to 4.

In this thesis, an automatic door lock system using a dual tone multiple frequency(DTMF) signal generated as pushing the key button of mobile phone is proposed and implemented. This system consists of a transmitter module and a receiver module for processing the DTMF signal of mobile phone. The DTMF signal of mobile phone connected with ear-phone jack enter into the input terminal of DTMF receiver and those are encoded by a code-converter with 4-bits binary format in the DTMF receiver. The encoded output signals are transmitted to the amplitude shift keying(ASK) modulator of transmitter module and the modulated ASK signals which are converted into radio frequency(RF) signals propagate in a free space. The RF signals passed through a free space are demodulated by the ASK demodulator of receiver module and the demodulated ASK signals are sent to a micro-controller unit(MCU). The output signals processed by the MCU are compared with the secreted identification number which is prerecorded in a microprocessor and are transferred to a power relay. If the result is the same, the automatic door lock system opens a door. In the opposite case, it maintains closing the door. The implemented automatic door lock system operates well in mobile environments.

태양으로부터 날아오는 고에너지 하전 입자들은 인공위성이나 지구의 통신장비에 심각한 고장을 일으킬 수 있다. 이런 사고를 방지하기 위해서는 사전에 태양풍의 물리량을 알아내는 것이 중요하다. 이를 위해 inter planetary scintillation 현상을 이용하여 태양풍의 운동을 예보하는 시스템을 전파연구소와 협력하여 개발할 예정이다. 그 첫 단계로 이 시스템보다 작은 규모의 시제품을 만들어 동작을 입증하고자 한다. 이 시제품은 각각 16개의 다이폴 안테나로 구성된 타일 3개로 이루어져 있다. 다이폴 안테나들의 중심주파수는 350MHz이고, 대역폭은 약10MHz이다. 48개의 다이폴 안테나들의 총 집광면적은 약 30m2이고, 타일 내의 다이폴 안테나들을 나선형으로 배열해 grating lobe의 크기를 감소시켰다. 각 안테나에서 나오는 신호는 저 잡음의 LNA를 이용해 증폭하여 beam former로 인가된다. Beam former는 안테나에서 나오는 신호의 위상을 조절하고 합쳐서 약 15도 크기의 빔을 만들고 전자적으로 천체를 추적한다. Beam former에서 나온 신호는 수신기에서 저주파의 신호로 변환되는데, 국부발진기를 조절하여 radio frequency interference에 능동적으로 대처할 수 있도록 하였다. 수신기에서 나오는 아날로그 신호는 digitizer를 최대 107sps의 빠르기로 2바이트의 디지털 신호로 전환된다. Labview 프로그램을 사용하여 3개의 타일에서 나온 신호를 합성해서 태양 근처의 전파원을 추적하도록 하였다.
