The conventional discrete circuit for ABS/TCS system was examined and the problems of the system were analyzed by computer simulation. In order to improve the performance of ABS/TCS system, interface IC which has error compensation, comparator and under voltage lock-out circuit was designed and their electrical characteristics were investigated. The voltage regulator was included to compensate the temperature variation in the temperature range from $-20^{\circ}C$ to $120^{\circ}C$ for automobile environment. ABS and brake signal were separated using the duty factor of same frequency or different frequencies. UVLO(Under Voltage Lock-Out) circuit and constant current circuit were applied for the elimination of noise, and protection circuit was applied to cut the excess current off. Layout for IC fabrication was designed to enhance the electrical performance of ABS/TCS system. Layout was consisted of 11 masks, arrayed effectively 8 pads to reduce the current loss. We can see that the result of layout simulation was better than the result of bread board.

페로브스카이트 구조를 가지는 $CaZrO_3$ 유전체 세라믹스에 $CaTiO_3$를 부피 비율로 첨가하여 첨가량 변동에 따른 마이크로파 유전 특성을 조사하였다. 또한 저온 동시소성 기능성 LTCC 기판용 유전체 소재로서 활용하기 위하여 저융점의 borosilicate계 유리 프리트를 첨가하여 $CaZrO_3-CaTiO_3$ 복합 유전체 세라믹스의 저온 소결 거동과 마이크로파 유전 특성을 평가하였다. 알칼리가 첨가된 저융점의 borosilicate계 유리 프리트를 $10\sim30$ wt% 범위로 첨가함으로서 $CaZrO_3-CaTiO_3$ 복합 유전체 세라믹스의 소결온도를 $1450^{\circ}C$에서 $900^{\circ}C$이하로 낮출 수 있었으며, 유리 프리트의 첨가량으로 공진 주파수 온도계수 특성을 조절할 수 있었다. 유리 프리트의 첨가량이 15 wt% 첨가시 $875^{\circ}C$에서 충분한 소결이 이루어졌으며, 이 경우 $CaZrO_3-CaTiO_3$ 복합 유전체 세라믹스는 유전율(k) 23, 품질계수(Qxf) 2500, 공진 주파수 온도계수 ($\tau_{cf}$) -3 ppm/$^{\circ}C$의 매우 양호한 마이크로파 유전 특성을 나타내었다. 유리 프리트의 첨가에 의하여 소결 과정에서 주상인 $CaZrO_3$가 $CaZr_4O_9$ 상으로의 변화가 뚜렷이 나타났는데, 이러한 상전이 현상과 함께 미세구조의 변화에 대해서도 고찰하였다.

In this paper, we propose multicarrier CDMA system using the concept of the modulation level-controlled system in order to make the system robust to the frequency selectivity and to provide a maximum data rate maintaining an acceptable transmission quality over various channel environments. This system selects higher data rate when the channel experiences the low delay spread and slow fading. On the other hand, when the fading changes very fast and the delay spread is very long, the system selects lower data rate. In both cases, the system controls the number of serial-to-parallel converted streams and the number of fed streams. This system has the fixed number of sub-carriers. So the product of tile number of serial-to-parallel converted streams and the number of fed streams is always kept constant. With the same data fed at different sub-carriers, the frequency diversity is achieved. And a RAKE receiver also is utilized to achieve path (time) diversity.

In this paper, we studied a method for miniaturizing a broadband stacked patch antenna structure which is widely used for bandwidth improvement. Main patch is a rectangular microstrip patch antenna fed by a 50-ohm microstrip line, and a parasitic patch is laid above the main patch. The size of the main patch is designed to be resonated near the center frequency of the desired frequency band. Then parasitic patch longer than main patch is placed above the main patch. The distance between two patches might be adjusted so as to achieve impedance matching using a shunt open stub. The shunt matching stub is inserted underneath the parasitic patch and so it does not require additional space, which enables the proposed antenna structure to be advantageous in miniaturizing antenna. The effects of the various parameters on the antenna performance are examined, and we introduced the design procedure for the proposed antenna to operate in the frequency range of 2.3-2.7 GHz.

In this study, HRV signals are analyzed to compare the autonomic nervous system activity of non-pregnant women and pregnant women. 99 disease-free pregnant women and 27 non-pregnant women from W Hospital participated in the study. The acquired HRV signals were used by the program to perform time domain analysis and frequency domain analysis. The measured values were statistically analyzed for differences between pregnancy periods through a one-way ANOVA. In the results, SDNN and RMSSD in time domain analysis had significantly higher results in early pregnancy and non-pregnant women compared to mid- and late pregnancy. In frequency domain analysis, LF and HF had significantly higher values for pregnancy and non-pregnancy compared to midand late-term, but there was no significant difference between VLF and LF/HF. his means that as pregnancy progresses, the ability to control autonomous nerves decreases in the middle and late stages of pregnancy and increases physical fatigue and mental fatigue. Therefore, the longer the pregnancy period, the more special care is needed to maintain mental and physical stability of pregnant women.

In this paper, the design of a triple dipole quasi-yagi antenna operating in the 2.45 GHz and 5 GHz wireless LAN frequency bands and the 3.5 GHz WiMAX frequency band was studied. The proposed quasi-Yagi antenna consists of three dipoles connected in series with a V-shaped ground plane. The longest half-bow-tie-shaped dipole resonates in the 2.45 GHz band, whereas the medium-length dipole resonates at 3.5 GHz. The shortest dipole resonates in the 5 GHz band. By adjusting the length and width of the dipoles and the spacings between the dipoles, a triple-band directional antenna operating in the 2.45 GHz, 3.5 GHz, and 5 GHz bands are designed, and fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a size of 45 mm × 55 mm. It was confirmed that the fabricated antenna operates in the designed triple bands of 2.32-2.57 GHz, 3.26-3.69 GHz, and 4.50-6.56 GHz for a voltage standing wave ratio less than 2. Gain is maintained above 3 dBi in the three bands.

The band-limited angular spectrum method (BL-ASM) causes aliasing errors due to spatial frequency control problems. In this paper, a sampling interval adjustment technique for phase holograms and a technique for reducing speckle noise and improving image quality using a deep-learningbased U-net model are proposed. With the proposed technique, speckle noise is reduced by first calculating the sampling factor and controlling the spatial frequency by adjusting the sampling interval so that aliasing errors can be removed in a wide range of propagation. The next step is to improve the quality of the reconstructed image by learning the phase hologram to which the deep learning model is applied. In the S/W simulation of various sample images, it was confirmed that the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index measure (SSIM) were improved by 5% and 0.14% on average, compared with the existing BL-ASM.

In this work, a 70/140 GHz dual-band push-push voltage controlled oscillator(VCO) has been developed based on a 0.18-${\mu}m$ SiGe BiCMOS technology. The lower band and the upper band oscillation frequency varied from 67.9 GHz to 76.9 GHz and from 134.3 GHz to 154.5 GHz, respectively, with tuning voltage swept from 0.2 to 2 V. The calibrated maximum output power for each band was -0.55 dBm and -15.45 dBm. The VCO draws DC current of 18 mA from 4 V supply.

A low voltage, low power delta-sigma modulator is proposed for cardiac pacemaker applications. A cascade of delta-sigma modulator stages that employ a feedforward topology has been used to implement a high-resolution oversampling ADC under the low supply. An inverter-based switched-capacitor circuit technique is used for low-voltage operation and ultra-low power consumption. An experimental prototype of the proposed circuit has been implemented in a $0.35-{\mu}m$ CMOS process, and it achieves 61-dB SNDR, 63-dB SNR, and 65-dB DR for a 120-Hz signal bandwidth at 7.6-kHz sampling frequency. The power consumption is only 280 nW at 1-V power supply.

The waveform coding technique has concerned with simply preserving the waveform shape of speech signal through a redundancy reduction process. In the case of speech synthesis, the waveform coding with high sound quality is mainly used to the synthesis by analysis. However, since the parameters of this coding are not classified into either excitation or vocal tract parameters, it is difficult to applying the waveform coding to the synthesis by rule. In order to apply the waveform coding to the synthesis by rule, the pitch alteration technique is required in prosody control. In this paper, we propose a new pitch alteration method that can change the pitch period in waveform coding by scaling the time-axis and compensating the spectrum. This is relevant to the time-frequency domain method were the phase components of the waveform is preserved with a little spectrum distortion of 2.5 % and less for 50% pitch change.
