Digital signal processing technique is applied in wide fields such as speech processing, image processing and spectrum analysis. Therefore, in order to do frequency selective operation digital filter is used in stead of analog filter and sharp filter characteristics can be implemented. Since finite impulse response (FIR) digital filter as nonrecursive type represents linear phase response characteristics and is always stable and is used in fields regarding wave information importantly such as data transmission. And due to frequency characteristics, in order to remove the Gibbs phenomenon generating around a discontinuous point, filter is designed through window function method. Therefore, in this paper to improve performance of FIR digital filter, a modified window function was applied. And the proposed method was compared with conventional methods using peak side-lobe and transition properties in simulations.

In this paper, we suggest a design method of a wide-band Butler matrix working at 5.9 GHz for V2X communication antennas. Since V2X communication needs beam-forming and beam-steering antennas to make transportation systems, mobile comm platforms, saturated frequency-resources, and signal TX-and-RX smart, multi-functional, resolved, and efficient utmost, respectively, the proper Butler matrix and its radiating elements as a low-profile geometry are realized. The constitutive components of the basic Butler matrix of a narrow band are designed first. And then, it is extended to a wide-band version to make its frequency-shift less affected by the event of the antenna system being mounted on a car body. The beam-forming and beam-steering performance is presented as the common feature tagged along with the different bandwidths of the frequency responses as the comparison between the narrow- and wide-band cases.

In a speech coding system using excitation source of voiced and unvoiced, it would be involved a distortion of speech quality in case coexist with a voiced and unvoiced consonants in a frame. In this paper, I propose a method of 8kbps Multi-Pulse Speech Coding(FBD-MPC: Frequency Band Division MPC) by using TSIUVC(Transition Segment Including Unvoiced Consonant) searching, extraction and approximation-synthesis method in a frequency domain. I evaluate the 8kbps MPC and FBD-MPC. As a result, SNRseg of FBD-MPC was improved 0.5dB for female voice and 0.2dB for male voice respectively. Compared to the MPC, SNRseg of FBD-MPC has been improved that I was able to control the distortion of the speech waveform finally. And so, I expect to be able to this method for cellular phone and smart phone using excitation source of low bit rate.

Error control is one of major concerns in many electronic systems. Experience shows that most malfunctions during system operation are caused by transient faults, which often mean abnormal signal delays that may result in violations of circuit element timing constraints. This paper presents a novel CMOS-based concurrent timing error detector that makes a flip-flop to sense and then signal whether its data has been potentially corrupted or not by a setup or hold timing violation. Designed circuit performs a quiescent supply current evaluation to determine timing violation from the input changes in relation to a clock edge. If the input is too close to the clock time, the resulting switching transient current in the detection circuit exceeds a reference threshold at the instant of the clock transition and an error is flagged. The circuit is designed with a $0.25{\mu}m$ standard CMOS technology at a 2.5 V supply voltage. The validity and effectiveness are verified through the HSPICE simulation. The simulation results in this paper shows that designed circuit can be used to detect setup and hold time violations effectively in clocked circuit element.

In this paper, a modified sum-product algorithm to correct bit errors captured within the trapping sets, which are produced in decoding of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, is proposed. Unlike the original sum-product algorithm, the proposed decoding method consists of two stages. Whether the main cause of decoding failure is the trapping sets or not is determined at the first stage. And the bit errors within the trapping sets are corrected at the second stage. In the modified algorithm, the set of failed check nodes and the transition patterns of hard-decision bits are exploited to search variable nodes in the trapping sets. After inverting information of the variable nodes, the sum-product algorithm is carried out to correct the bit errors. As a result of simulation, the proposed algorithm shows continuously improved error performance with increase in the signal-to-noise ratio. It is, therefore, considered that the modified sum-product algorithm significantly reduces or possibly eliminates the error floor in LDPC codes.

A new modulation technique - correlative encoded FSK (CEFSK) - for use in power and bandwidth limited digital communication system is proposed. CEFSK is free of ISI and generates output signals which have a smooth and continuous phase transition and a reduced envelope fluctuation by keeping correlation between amplitude and phases of two subsequent symbols. In comparison to conventional one-bit differential detected (1DD) GFSK, the performance of the 1DD-CEFSK in a non-linearly amplified (NLA) channel impaired by additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), ISI and IM, is analyzed via computer simulation. The simulation result shows that, in an NLA single-channel, 1DD-CEFSK provides a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) advantage of up to 1.2dB and 0.8dB at BER of $1{\times}10^{-4}$ when input back-off (IBO) of HPA is -1.0dB and -3.0dB, respectively. For the same channel environment with multi-channel, 1DD-CEFSK outperforms 1DD-GFSK by 1.1dB in SNR, regardless of the value of IBO.

In the present study, the antigenic potential of G009, a polysaccharide isolated from Ganoderma lucidum IY009, was determined in BALB/C mice and Hartley guinea pigs. Antigenicity tests, including passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA), active systemic anaphylaxis (ASA) and indirect hemagglutination test (IHA) were performed according to the established guidelines of National Institute of Safety Research. The results were as follows: 1. Mice showed no production of antibodies against G009 sensitized with an adjuvant, aluminum hydroxide gel (alum), when judged by the heterologous PCA test in rats. Meanwhile, antibodies against ovalbumin (OVA) sensitized with alum were clearly detected. 2. In the studies with guinea pigs, both the sensitization of G009 alone and of G009 with complete Freund's adjutant (CFA) did not produce positive reactions in homologous PCA. In the case of ASA, however, G009 alone and G009 with CFA produced positive reactions. 3. No G009 specific reaction was observed in an IHA assay using sera isolated from G009 sensitized mice. These findings suggest that G009 have no antigenicity potential in mice but may have weak antigenicity in guinea pjgs.

In this paper, a driver's drowsy detection sensor system based on the respiration is investigated. The sensor system consists of a piezoelectric pressure sensor attached at the abdominal region of the seat belt and a personal computer. The piezoelectric pressure sensor was utilized for the measurement of pressure variations induced by the movement of the driver abdomen during breathing. The signal processing software for detecting driver's drowsiness was produced using the Labview. The experiments were performed with 30 years male driver. The amplitude of the respiration at awake state was larger than one at the drowsy state. On the contrary, the respiration rate at awake state was lower than one at the drowsy state. The drowsy detection sensor system developed based on the experimental could successfully detect the driver's drowsy on real-time.

Linearity is the one of the most important features for analog-optic transmission system. In our research, the available bandwidth for the feed-forward compensation circuit is enhanced by using a 180 hybrid coupler in the circuit. The bandwidth having the decreased 3rd-order intermodulation distortion(IMD3) over 10 dB is extended over 200 MHz with the center frequency of 1.6 GHz. We performed an efficient bandwith measurement for the feed-forward compensation system, which uses the network analyzer instead of the traditional measuring system that uses two RF signal generators and the spectrum analyzer. We identify the usefulness of this method from experimental results. In this study, we used cheap digital-purpose laser diodes for economical aspect, which proves the efficiency of the proposed analog system. The spurious-free dynamic range is improved about 6 dB/Hz.

In this paper, the resonator with a parallel plate capacitor is newly proposed around sub-microwave frequency band and applied to earlobe for non-invasive glucose monitoring the human biological tissue. The capacitor including the earlobe as dielectric material is connected to inductive slot in the ground plane of the microstrip line. Based on the simulation, one port resonator circuit is designed and fabricated as a prototype. Three step glucose concentration levels(0, 250, 500 mg/dL) was tested, and its reflection coefficients($S_{11}$) were measured. Owing to high Q resonator more than 100, resonant frequency shift of about 9 MHz per glucose level of 250 mg/dL has been successfully measured. This proves that the proposed sensor is applicable to a blood glucose sensor.
