The power-controlled six-port element that can control the local oscillator signal power and receiving RF signal power was designed and implemented in this paper. The direct conversion six-port element configuration was proposed, which provides the constant six-port output power by controlling the six-port input power with various signal strength. The direct conversion six-port element protects the power detector element of six-port receiver from the saturation status and compensates the transmission performance degradation. For implementation of power-controlled six-port element, the power-controlled six-port element including the power controller was analyzed. The implemented power-controlled six-port element shows the power control capability of 36 dB and gain imbalance of about 1.6 dB, phase imbalance of about $4^{\circ}$ in the frequency range of 1.69 GHz. The measured results show the good performance as direct conversion front-end element.

최근들어 광범위한 지역의 삼차원 국토정보 취득을 위한 고해상도 위성영상의 센서모형화 기법에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. IKONOS나 SPOT 5호와 같은 고해상도 위성영상의 모형화에 앞서 본 연구에서는 각종 응용분야에서 광범위하게 활용되고 있는 SPOT 3호 위성영상을 대상으로 지상기준점을 이용하여 경사촬영(off-nadir viewing)각을 추정하는 기법을 개발하였다. 추정된 경사촬영각은 영상좌표를 보정하는데 사용되었으며 2차원 부등각사상변환을 이용하여 기존의 모형화 방법 보다 간결하고 정확도가 향상된 모형화 기법을 제안하였다. 또한, 기존의 엄밀 센서 모형화 방법을 대체하고 있는 위성영상의 센서모형화를 위한 다양한 방법들이 제안되고 있기 때문에, 2차원 부등각사상변환, 직접선형변환(DLT), 자체검정-DLT(SDLT)등의 추상화된 모형화 방법을 SPOT 위성영상에 대해 기준점 수의 변화에 따라 검사점을 이용하여 수평성분, 수직성분으로 나누어 정확도를 비교 분석하였다.

This paper introduces a direct-conversion CMOS RF transmitter for the IEEE 802.15.4 standard with a low-power high-gain up-conversion mixer designed in $0.18{\mu}m$ process. The designed RF DCT(Direct Conversion Transmitter) is composed of differential DAC(Digital to Analog Converter), passive low-pass filter, quadrature active mixer and drive amplifier. The most important characteristic in designing RF DCT is to satisfy the 2.4 GHz Zigbee standard in low power. The quadrature active mixer inside the proposed RF DCT provides enough high gain as well as sufficient linearity using a gain boosting technique. The measurement results for the proposed transmitter show very low power consumption of 7.8 mA, output power more than 0 dBm and ACPR (Adjacent Channel Power Ratio) of -30 dBc.

The purpose of this study is to comprehensively compare and evaluate the characteristics of image quality for digital mammography systems which use a direct and indirect conversion detector. Three key metrics of image quality were evaluated for the direct and indirect conversion detector, the modulation transfer function (MTF), normalized noise power spectrum (NNPS), and detective quantum efficiency (DQE), which describe the resolution, noise, and signal to noise performance, respectively. DQE was calculated by using a edge phantom for MTF determination according to IEC 62220-1-2 regulation. The contrast to noise ratio (CNR) was evaluated according to guidelines offered by the Korean Institute for Accreditation of Medical Image (KIAMI). As a result, the higher MTF and DQE was measured with direct conversion detector compared to indirect conversion detector all over spatial frequency. When the average glandular dose (AGD) was the same, direct conversion detector showed higher CNR value. The direct conversion detector which has higher DQE value all over spatial frequency would provide the potential benefits for both improved image quality and lower patient dose in digital mammography system.

In this paper, we design a direct radio frequency (RF) sampling receiver for multiband GNSS signals and demonstrate its performance. The direct RF sampling is a technique that does not use an analog mixer, but samples the passband signal directly, and all receiver processes are done in digital domain, whereas the conventional intermediate frequency (IF) receiver samples the IF band signals. In contrast to the IF sampling receiver, the RF sampling receiver is less complex in hardware, reconfigurable, and simultaneously converts multiband signals to digital signals with an analog-to-digital (AD) converter. The reconfigurability and simultaneous reception are very important in military applications where rapid change to other system is needed when a system is jammed by an enemy. For simultaneous reception of multiband signals, the sampling frequency should be selected with caution by considering the carrier frequencies, bandwidths, desired intermediate frequencies, and guard bands. In this paper, we select a sampling frequency and design a direct RF sampling receiver to receive multiband global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals such as GPS L1, GLONASS G1 and G2 signals. The receiver is implemented with a commercial AD converter and software. The receiver performance is demonstrated by receiving the real signals.

To improve performance using a multidimensional index in similar sequence matching, we transform a high-dimensional sequence to a low-dimensional sequence, and then construct a low-dimensional MBR that contains multiple transformed sequences. In this paper we propose a formal method that transforms a high-dimensional MBR itself to a low-dimensional MBR, and show that this method significantly reduces the number of lower-dimensional transformations. To achieve this goal, we first formally define the new notion of MBR-safe. We say that a transform is MBR-safe if a low-dimensional MBR to which a high-dimensional MBR is transformed by the transform contains every individual low-dimensional sequence to which a high-dimensional sequence is transformed. We then propose two MBR-safe transforms based on DFT and DCT, the most representative lower-dimensional transformations. For this, we prove the traditional DFT and DCT are not MBR-safe, and define new transforms, called mbrDFT and mbrDCT, by extending DFT and DCT, respectively. We also formally prove these mbrDFT and mbrDCT are MBR-safe. Moreover, we show that mbrDFT(or mbrDCT) is optimal among the DFT-based(or DCT-based) MBR-safe transforms that directly convert a high-dimensional MBR itself into a low-dimensional MBR. Analytical and experimental results show that the proposed mbrDFT and mbrDCT reduce the number of lower-dimensional transformations drastically, and improve performance significantly compared with the $na\"{\i}ve$ transforms. These results indicate that our MBR- safe transforms provides a useful framework for a variety of applications that require the lower-dimensional transformation of high-dimensional MBRs.
