Digital still camera generally uses optical low-pass filter(OLPF) to enhance its image quality because it removes high spatial frequencies causing aliasing. However, the use of OLPF causes some loss of detail. On the other hand, when image are captured by using no OLPF, the moir$\acute{e}$ is generally existed in high spatial frequency region of an image. Therefore, in this paper, moir$\acute{e}$ reduction method in case of using no OLPF is suggested. To detect the moir$\acute{e}$, spatial frequency response(SFR) of camera was firstly analyzed by using ISO 12233 resolution chart. Then, moir$\acute{e}$ region is detected by using the patterns that are related to the SFR of camera. next, this region is analysed in the frequency domain. Then, the moir$\acute{e}$ is reduced by removing its frequency component, which represents inflection point between high frequency and DC components. Through the experimental results, it is shown that the proposed method can achieve moir$\acute{e}$ reduction with preserving the detail.

In this paper, a mathematical formulation of protection ratio and its calculation method are suggested for a radio relay system with diversity techniques. The analysis of protection ratio and its physical meaning have been performed for the space or frequency diversity system, and in particular protection ratios are reviewed in terms of the parameters of diversity improvement factor, which comprises antenna gain, separation distance between antennas, frequency and its difference between carriers, and distance. As one of simulated results, the co-channel protection ratio of 60 dB is obtained for the space diversity system regarding 6.2 GHz, 60 km, 64-QAM, and 25 m between antennas, which gives 15 dB less than the co-channel protection ratio of the non-space diversity system. In addition, the co-channel protection ratio for the frequency diversity system gives 64 dB in case of frequency offset of 0.5 GHz under the same conditions as the space diversity system, which brings about 11 dB less than the co-channel protection ratio of non-frequency diversity system. In consequency, it is interesting to note that the space diversity system is less sensitive to interference in comparison to the frequency diversity system and provides better quality of service for a given interference.

최근, 우리나라에서도 전파에 대한 각종 규제의 완화와 경제의 발전에 따라 전파를 사용하는 사례가 늘어나고 있다. 일반가정에서 사용하는 코드없는 전화기를 비롯하여 젊은 층을 중심으로 퍼져나가고 있는 무선호출기와 일반층까지 파고들고 있는 휴대전화 보급이 그예가 될 수 있겠다. 어디 그뿐인가? 우리주변에서 늘 함께하는 라디오와 텔레비젼은 이미 일상생활에서 없어서는 안될 가정용 전기용품중의 하나이지만 이것이야말로 사실 전파를 사용하는 기기의 대표적인 케이스로 보아야 한다. 그렇지만 역시 전파 또는 주파수가 일반인들의 관심을 끌기 시작한 것은 이동통신이 선풍적인 인기를 끌면서 이뤄낸 경제적 부각가치 때문일것이다. 약간의 전파를 이용하여 이동통신사업자들이 누리는 경제적 향유(?)는 대단하다. 실례로 불과 25kHz폭(FM라디오 1개채널의 약 1/8,텔레비젼의 약1/24에 해당)을 가진 1개의 주파수를 무선호출에 이용할 경우 매출액은 연간 1억원에 이른다. 따라서 경제적 가치로서 인식될 수 밖에 없는 것이 어쩌면 단연한 일인지도 모른다. 한편, 경제적인 가치는 인정하면서도 주파수에 대해 일반인이 이해하기란 여간 어려운 일이 아니다. 그 원인으로서 첫째는 눈에 보이지 않기 때문인데 보이지 않는 실체를 인정하고 이해하는 것처럼 어려운 일도 없을 것이다. 둘째는 주파수 스펙트럼(전파를 주파수에 따라 도표로 나열한것)상의 주파수마다 공간을 전파해 나가는 성질이 다르고 또한 이용분야도 다른데서 오는 혼동감(?)도 전파를 이해하기 어렵게 하는 커다란 원인이다. 따라서 본고에서는 전파분야에 종사하는 사람보다는 전파란 무엇인가에 대해 궁금하게 생각하는 일반인을 대상으로 전파(주파수)의 일반적인 사항에 대해 설명하고 유한한 자원인 전파자원의 효율적 사용을 위한 정부의 정책과 우리나라가 대비하여야 할 과제에 대해 알기쉽게 설명하고자 한다.

In this paper, an adaptive cosine transform coding scheme which incorporate human visual properties into the coding scheme is investigated. Human vision is relatively sensitive to mid-frequency band, and insensitive to very low and very high frequency band. These property was mathematically modelled with MTF(Modulation Transfer Function) through many psychovisual experiment. DCT transforms energy in spatial domain into frequency domain, so can exploit the MTF very efficiently. Another well-known visual characteristics is spatial masking effect that visibility of noise is less in regions of high activity than in regions of low activity. Proposed coding scheme imploys quantization matrix which represent the properties of these spatial frequency response of human vision, and adaptively quality of an image. To compute the activity index of an image block, simple operation is performed in spatial domain, and according to activity index. block of low activity region is more exactly quantized relatively than that of high activity region. Results showed that, at low bit rate, the subjective quality of the reconstructed images by proposed coding scheme is acceptible than that of coding scheme without HVS properties.

In the signals-shadowed areas, In order to providing the suitable signals reception level repeaters are used for relay the signals. Repeater receives the weak signals and amplifies it up to required power level, The amplified signals get radiated by the various methods. Both antenna distribution and LCX(Leakage Coaxial Cable) are typical methods in the repeater and BTS signals radiation. Their applications are depended on the environment condition and frequency band. Generally the antenna distribution are used for the mobile telecommunication networks which use the higher frequency band than 500MHz. On the other side, LCX distribution is suitable to the frequency band under 500MHz. The network plan of repeater in FM, T-DMB, Fire Radio and Internal subway communication network are the typical LCX application fields. Cell planning with repeaters are based on the free space loss, LCX connection loss and actual field data. The actual field data can be the most important factor to design the network planning.

X-ray mammography is the most effective method for the diagnosis of calcified lesions of various breast diseases. To reduce patient dose and to obtain optimal image required for diagnosis, the performance of the mammography system should be maintained continuously. Because the target (anode) angle of the X-ray tube is measured from the central X-ray, the effective angle can be slightly different in view of the position on the detector, which can result in degrading spatial resolution of the imaging within the field of view. In this study, we measured the MTF to examine spatial resolution for positions on the detector in the digital mammography system. For a tungsten wire of $50{\mu}m$ diameter, the highest spatial frequency was obtained. It meant that a wire diameter for measuring MTF through LSF should be small compared to the pixel size of the detector used in the mammography system. The spatial resolution showed slightly different performance according to positions on the detector. The center position gave the best spatial resolution and positions away from the center showed the degraded performance although the difference of the spatial resolution was small. The effective focal spot size of the full width at half maximum also showed similar result. It concluded that the slightly increase of the effective focal spot size gave the degradation of the spatial resolution for positions on the detector.

Frequency modulation spectroscopy of the super-cavity, of which finesse is app. 40,000 has been demonstrated by using a sigle mode He-Ne laser. In-phase and quardrature components of frequency modulation signals (FM signal) were obtained by using the 1.5 MHz-driven-electrooptic phase modulator. The vector locus of the FM signa in the phase space, which is consisted of in-phase and quardrature components of the FM signal, was observed and analyzed for the dependence of FM signal upon the phase of the reference signal of a phase-sensitive-detector. According to rotating the phase of the reference signal, the vector locus was observed to rotate with the same phase angle as the reference signal. The in-phase component of the FM signals will be used to stabilize the frequency of the He-Ne laser to the resonant frequency of the super-cavity.

Most watermarking techniques insert watermarks into transform coefficients in the frequency domain because we can consider robust or imperceptible frequency bands against malicious attacks to remove them. However, parameterization of 3-D data is not easy because of irregular attribution of connectivity information, while 1-I) or 2-D data is regular. In this paper we propose a new watermarking scheme for 3-D polygonal mesh models in the DCT domain. After we generate triangle strips by traversing the 3-D model and transform its vertex coordinates into the DCT domain, watermark signals are inserted into mid-frequency bands of AC coefficients for robustness and imperceptibility. We demonstrate that our scheme is robust against additive random noise, the affine transformation, and geometry compression by the MPEG-4 SNHC standard.

A non-decimation second-order spatial moving average (SMA) discrete-time (DT) filter is proposed with reconfigurable null frequencies. The filter coefficients are changeable, and it can be controlled by switching sampling capacitors. So, interferers can be rejected effectively by flexible nulls. Since it operates without decimation, it does not change the sample rate and aliasing problem can be avoided. The filter is designed with variable weight of coefficients as $1:{\alpha}:1$ where ${\alpha}$ varies from 1 to 2. This corresponds to the change of null frequencies within the range of fs/3~fs/2 and fs/2~2fs/3. The proposed filter is implemented in the TSMC 0.18-${\mu}m$ CMOS process. Simulation shows that null frequencies are changeable in the range of 0.38~0.49fs and 0.51~0.62fs.
