The mathematical models for the receptive field of simple cells in the human visual system have been developed in the areas of psychophysics, physiology and neuroscience. The various models used in the fields of digital image processing and computer vision include Gator complex, Gaussian derivatives and Hermite functions. In this paper, the effective widths for the models are derived based on the space-frequency uncertainty principle. The center frequency and parameters related to the models are determined in accordance with the human visual filters, and resultant bandwidths are analyzed. Furthermore, the characteristics of space and frequency for the models is analyzed and compared to the experimental data obtained from psychophysics.

We propose a new watermarking method to embed a label in a video which is robust against the change of the group of picture. The proposed method embeds labels in the pixel domain, but detects the label in the DCT frequency domain. For embedding a label, the size of watermark based on the human visual system is calculated to keep a quality of videos. A lookup table haying the pixel patterns and the sequences of a sign of DCT coefficients is used for detecting a label in the DCT frequency domain. In this paper, we analyze bit error rates for labels of videos compressed by MPEG2 using the central limit theorem and compare the simulation results with previous methods.

The L-shaped strip is shown to be an attractive feed for the thick microstrip antenna (thickness around 10% of the operating wavelength). The L-strip incorporated with the radiating patch introduces a capacitance suppressing some of the inductance introduced by the strip itself. In this paper, a wideband microstrip patch antenna fed by L-strip for the PCS (1,750~1,850 MHz) and IMT-2000 (1,920~2,170 MHz) broad-band is presented. A two-element array fed by L-strip is also proposed. Both the antennas have stable radiation patterns across the passband. The impedance bandwidth is over 31% (VSWR < 1.5, 615 MHz) of the center frequency. Moreover, both the antennas have about 7 dBi average gain.

A method of miniaturizing branch line coupler is presented. The method utilizes the microstrip line with overlay(or superstrate). The frequency dependent characteristics, dispersion and characteristic impedance, of this line are obtained by Immitance method in spectral domain and Method of Line. The relevant spectral domain Green's function is given and used to obtain numerical results. The branch line couplers with overlays are designed and fabricated at 2 GHz. The experimental results show that the size of coupler with overlay(${epsilon}_r$=10.2) is 31.4 precent smaller than conventional coupler. This minimized coupler is suitable for Butler Matrix as feeder for mobile communication beam forming antenna.

In this paper, a Balun-BPF with the balun and BPF characteristics is proposed by using dual-mode ring resonator of $1{\lambda}$. We obtained the property of balun with the phase imbalance by symmetrically placing each output of ring resonator. The dual mode has been made by impedance difference between input and output lines. The fabricated Balun-BPF shows bandwidth of 40 MHz and insertion loss of 2.4 dB at a center frequency of 2.45 GHz. It shows the phase imbalance of $180{\sim}184$ degree and the magnitude imbalance of within 1 dB. The measured frequency responses agree well with simulated ones.

An electromagnetic induction transducer which radiates an implusive ultrasonic wave, could be useful for high power sound source in underwater acoustical survey. The aim of this study is to investigate the waveforms and the spectral characteristics of the waves produced by the transducer which was on the basis of the design criteria proposed by Eisenmenger. It was found that the sound pressure levels of the impulsive ultrasonic waves were directly proportional to the capacitance of the energy stored in the capacitor and inversely proportional to the thickness of the vibrating copper foil, while the center frequencies and the fractional bandwidths were vice versa.

The use of digital imaging technique and digital contents based on internet has grown rapidly for last several years, and the needs of digital image protection become more important. For the purpose of copyright protection on digital image, the verification of authentication techniques like content authentication, ownership authentication, illegal copy and etc are needed. Digital watermarking, the invisible encryption technique to insert digital watermark into image the sophisticated perceptual information should be used for providing transparency and robustness of images on watermarking process. In this paper, we implement the algorithm for preventing forged attack, ownership protection and authentication by transforming the wavelet algorithms in frequency domain in terms of human visual system.

In this paper, a novel wideband crossed planar monopole antenna with the double resonance characteristics is proposed. The proposed monopole antenna consists of a wideband crossed planar monopole antenna and L-shaped slits. In order to generate double resonance characteristics on the proposed monopole antenna, the length of L-shaped slit on the antenna surface is obtained from the quarter-wavelength of the second resonance frequency The double resonance characteristics of the proposed antenna can be easily designed by the control of length of L shaped slit at an interesting frequency. The proposed antenna having an omnidirectional radiation pattern and a high gain over the double resonance frequency bands, respectively, is suitable for mobile multiband antenna.

The proposed print antenna using Finite Difference Time Domain(FDTD) method is analyzed in this paper. A low radiation resistance and an ultra-wide band of this antenna are also presented. The propagation process of the reflected wave and the electric field distribution in the time domain are calculated in respectively. The antenna parameters are optimized for the maximum band width, return loss, input impedance, and radiation pattern in the frequency domain using Fourier transforming. The experimental bandwidth of the antenna is 1.85GHz~6.35GHz for the VSWR less than or equal to 2.0. The measured results are relatively in good agreement with the FDTD results. The proposed antenna can be applied to various applications such as UWB, broadcasting-network system.
