This paper presents the results of Ka band qualification model multiplexers for COMS Payload to be launched in 2008. These are the input and output multiplexers of the satellite transponder to use available frequency resources effectively and the diplexer of the satellite antenna to use the same reflector for both transmitting and receiving frequency bands, respectively. The input multiplexer with four frequency channels has four(4) independent channel filters which consist of an 8-pole elliptic band-pass filter for high frequency selectivity and a 2-pole equalizer for group delay equalization. For low insertion loss, mass and volume reduction, manifold type os employed for output multiplexer. E-plane T-junction is used for either splitting or combining a frequency band into two sub-bands. Asymmetric inductive irises are used to tune the receiving filter easily. The electrical performance and environmental test such as vibration test, mechanical shock test, thermal vacuum test and EMC test are performed and the results of all qualification model multiplexers are compliant to the requirement of each multiplexer. Followed by this qualification, the flight model equipment will be developed.

This paper describes a design of OFDM (Orthogoanl Frequency Division Multiplexing) based wireless LAN system receiver, defined in IEEE 802.11a standards. Because OFDM system uses several orthogonal sequence sets, it ran avoid selective fading of fast data transfer problem when it is used with error correction code. But if the receiver is not synchronized, the orthogonal of between sub-ralliers will be destroyed and the data interruption will be generated. So it makes error property get worse very murk. For improving the noise error, we use the relationship of phasor between sub-carriers and make system synchronization using one tab equalizer. The designed OFDM block is described by Verilog HDL for the efficient and small size hardware. And we preform the functional verification and evaluation using the vector of standards.

The higher data rate of mobile communications has been required for various multimedia services. In DS-CDMA system, one of the solutions to increase the throughput is to use multicode. However, multipath channel destorys the orthogonality of spreading codes, which causes the intercede interference(ICI). ICI gives severe effect on multicode DS-CDMA for BER performance. Conventionally, multicode DS-CDMA system uses the Rake receiver with turbo code, which cannot overcome error floor caused by ICI. In this paper, we propose frequency domain turbo equalization based on minimum mean squared error(FDTE-MMSE) for multicode DS-CDMA in frequency selective channel and evaluate its BER performance by computer simulation. The simulation results show that FDTE-MMSE gives much better performance in high Eb/N0 than the Rake receiver with turbo code in multipath length L>1.

Conventional cooperative communications can attain gain of spatial diversity and path loss reduction because destination node independently received same signal from source node and relay node located between source node and destination node. However, these techniques bring about decreased spectral efficiency with relay node and increased complexity of receiver by using maximal ratio combining (MRC). This paper has proposed cooperative ARQ protocol that can improve the above problems and can get the better performance. This method can increase the spectral efficiency than conventional cooperative communication because if the received signal from source node is satisfied by the destination preferentially, the destination transmits ACK message to both relay node and source node and then recovers the received signal. In addition, if ARQ message indicates NACK relay node operates selective retransmission and we can increase reliability of system compared with that of general ARQ protocol in which source node retransmits data. In the proposed protocol, the selective retransmission and ARQ message are to be determined by comparing log-likelihood ratio (LLR) computation of received signal from source node with predetermined threshold values. Therefore, this protocol don't waste redundant bandwidth with CRC code and can reduce complexity of receiver without MRC. We verified spectral efficiency and BER performance for the proposed protocol through Monte-Carlo simulation over Rayleigh fading plus AWGN.

channel is severely degraded by multipath delay time spread. In this paper. We propose a simple multipath delay time detection method, which has a merit of in serviceable, yet simple H/W realizability for $\pi/4$ shift QPSK by detecting cross channel interference. A $\pi/4$ shift QPSK signal originally has quadrature channel(Q-ch) component. Thus in order to measure CCI between in-phase channel(I-ch) and quadrature channel(Q-ch), which closely related to multipath delay time, Frequency doubling scheme(frequency doubler) and differential detector is proposed, which makes $\pi/4$ shift QPSK signal look like BPSK and also makes it possible for CCI to be detected at I-ch detector output. To get an information from time varying I-ch output signal under the multipath lading environment, a method for obtaining the mean of the absolute value$(V_{MABS}(t))$ and another one for obtaining the root mean square value$(V_{RMS}(t))$ of CCI are proposed. Furthermore, a relationship between delay spread and CCI is also analyzed. In order to confirm theoretical results, computer simulation has been carried out under the quasi-static and Reyleigh distributed two ray multipath fading environments. A fairly good result was obtained. However it was also shown that this method is sensitive to bandwidth restriction to some extent. In addition, some idea for a simple hardware realization for the frequency doubler are given.

We report a highly selective and sensitive 200 MHz Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) sensor that can detect cyanide ion in aqueous solution using surface immobilized thioester molecules in combination with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). To construct the sensor device, a monolayer of thioester compound was immobilized on the SAW sensor surface. At the sensor surface, hydrolysis of thioester group by nucleophilic addition of cyanide occurred and the resulting free thiol unit bound to AuNP to form thiol-AuNP conjugate. For the signal enhancement, gold staining signal amplification process was introduced subsequently with gold (III) chloride trihydrate and reducing agent, hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The SAW sensor showed a detection ability of $17.7{\mu}M$ for cyanide in aqueous solution and demonstrated a saturation behavior between the frequency shift and the concentration of cyanide ion. On the other hand, our SAW sensor had no activities for other anions such as fluoride ion, acetate ion and sulfate ion, moreover, no significant interference observed by other anions. Finally, all the experiments were carried out in-house developed sensor and fluidics modules to obtain highly reproducible results.

본 논문에서는 32비트 MCU RISC 프로세서를 사용하여 MPEC 오디오 복호화기를 소프트웨어의 구현하였다. 구현된 MPEC 오디오 복호화기는 MPEC-2 Layer-III (MP3)와 MPEC-2 AAC 로 구성된다. 프로그래밍 가능한 소프트웨어로 구현하여 향후 성능 개선이나 새로운 기능을 추가할 수 있는 유연성을 극대화하였다. 복호화기 구현은 구현 시간과 비용을 고려하여 직접 어셈블리를 코딩하는 대신 최적화된 C 코드를 사용하여 컴파일하는 방법을 선택하였다. 이때 발생할 수 있는 성능 저하 요소들을 줄이기 위해 추가의 최적화 과정을 수행하여 성능을 개선하는 방법을 제시하였다. 구현된 복호화기의 출력 음질은 ISO 13818-4 compliance test 결과 Full compliance 를 만족하였다. 또한 연산량 최적화 결과 MP3 와 AAC 테스트 비트열에 대해 모두 35 MHz 이하의 동작 주파수로 동작이 가능함을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes an efficient hardware architecture of CABAC for HEVC decoder. The proposed method is structured to handle two bins in one cycle, while preserving data dependencies of the CABAC. In addition, the processing time of the proposed architecture is reduced because the operation using Offset and Range is processed while the architecture reads rLPS from rLPSROM. As a result of analyzing operating frequency of the proposed CABAC architecture, the proposed architecture has improved by 40% than the previous one.

본 연구에서는 뉴우턴법과 모멘트를 이용한 수정된 고정점 알고리즘의 독립성분분석기법을 이용한 영상의 특징추출을 제안하였다. 여기서 뉴우턴법은 엔트로피 최적화로부터 유도된 기법으로 그 계산을 간략화하여 역혼합행렬의 빠른 경신을 위함이고, 모멘트는 접선을 구하는 과정에서 함수의 기울기변화 계산에서 발생하는 발진을 줄여 좀 더 빠른 학습을 위함이다. 제안된 기법을 13개 자연영상들로부터 선택된 12×12 픽셀(pixel)의 10,000개 패치를 대상으로 시뮬레이션 한 결과, 추출된 16×16픽셀의 160개 독립성분 기저벡터 각각은 자연영상들에 포함된 공간적인 주파수 특성과 방향성을 가지는 경계 특성이 잘 드러나는 국부적인 특징들임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 모멘트의 이용으로 개선된 특징추출을 얻을 수 있었다.
