This paper describes a low-power baseband circuit for SAW-less LTE-Advanced transmitters. The proposed transmitter baseband circuit consists of a 2nd-order Tow-Thomas type active RC-LPF and a 1st-order passive RC LPF. It can provide a 7 multi-channel cut-off frequencies and wide gain control range of -41 dB ~ 0 dB with a 1-dB step. The proposed 2nd-order active RC-LPF adopts an op-amp in which three other sub-op amps are in parallel connected to reduce DC current for different cutoff frequency. In addition, each sub-op amp adopts both Miller and feed-forward phase compensation method to achieve an UGBW of more than 1-GHz with a small DC power consumption. The proposed baseband circuit is implemented in 65-nm CMOS technology, consuming DC power from 6.3 mW to 24.1 mW from a 1.2V supply voltage for each different cut-off frequency.

In addition to RBL function, which is used to applying for spam e-mail filtering, as an effective way to deal with the recently widespread spam types, this paper proposes how to extract URL that was comprised in the original e-mail, apply it to RBL, and expand it. The BotNet, which is used to using for sending spam mails these days, has a problem that it is not able to solve with the distributed addresses of sent mails in spam e-mails. In general, as these spam e-mails are sent from the infected Zombi PC of individual user, the sent address itself is not efficient and is meaningless to use in RBL. As an effective way to filter spam e-mail sent by BotNet, this paper analyzes URLs that contained in the original spam e-mail and proposes how to effectively improve filter rate, based on the distribution data of URL site tempting users. This paper proposes the sending mechanism of spam e-mails from BotNet and the methods to realize those types of spam e-mails. In order to gather analyzable spam e-mails, this paper also carries out an experiment by configuring trap system of spam e-mail. By analyzing spam e-mails, which have been received during the certain period of experiment, this paper shows that the expanded RBL method, using URLs that contained in spam e-mails, is effective way to improve the filter distribution of spam e-mail.

We have investigated the efficacy and efficiency of the used briquets for the sewage treatment in this study. The effluent of wastewater treated by Used Briquets Process (UBP) showed very low values of $BOD_5$, CODcr, and SS (1.1 mg/L, 9.5 mg/L, and 3.8mg/L, respectively), which corresponded to 99%, 92.7%, and 96.3% of removal efficiency to the raw wastewater. The number of total bacteria and E. coli in the effluent water treated by UBP was found to be 9 and 1.2 cfu/ml, respectively, showing the remarkable decrease in number, when compared to that of other sewage treatment plants. In the long period of experiment over 1 year, UBP has also shown the high removal efficiency with less sludge production, and low seasonal fluctuation of the values. This UBP is very environmentally-friendly process in the aspects of recycling used briquets and reducing the sludge production. We think that this process will be useful for both the small-scale sewage treatment and reuse of the effluent water.

다층박막구조를 갖는 유기발광소자는 저분자 증착 기술이 발전함에 따라 다양한 구조로 제작이 가능해 다양한 구조 설계를 통하여 발광특성을 향상할 수 있게 되었다. 다층박막구조에서 유기발광소자의 발광효율을 향상시키기 위하여 다양한 주입층과 수송층을 사용하여 전하의 주입 장벽과 이동도를 제어할 수 있다. 저분자 유기발광소자에서 가장 많이 이용되는 tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) 또는 7-diphenyl-1, 10-phenanthroline (BPhen)을 단일구조로 전자수 송층으로 사용한 유기발광소자의 발광 메커니즘에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되었지만, Alq3 와 BPhen 을 같이 사용하였을 때 나타나는 전기적 특성과 광학적 특성에 대한 연구는 미미하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전자 수송층으로 Alq3 와 BPhen 을 다중 이종구조를 사용하여 녹색 유기발광소자를 제작하고 이의 전기적 특성과 광학적 특성을 연구하였다. 유기발광소자를 제작한 후 Alq3와 BPhen 다중 이종구조의 위치와 이종구조 개수의 변화에 따라 발광 특성 비교를 위하여 인가된 전압에 대한 전류밀도와 휘도, 발광 효율 및 전력 효율을 측정하였다. 다중 이종구조로 제작할 경우 단일 BPhen층의 두께가 얇아지기 때문에 단일 이종구조의 소자보다 BPhen층의 정공차단 능력이 저하되어 저전압에서는 Alq3/BPhen 계면에서의 누설되는 정공의 수가 증가하였다. 또한 이종구조의 수가 증가할수록 단일 이종구조일 때에 비하여 인가된 전압에 대한 전류밀도가 감소하였다. 이는 Alq3와 BPhen 내에서 각각 전자의 이동도가 다르기 때문에 Alq3/BPhen 이종계면에서 전자가 축적되어 공간전하를 형성하므로 내부전계가 형성되어 구동전압이 증가하는 것으로 보인다. 그러나 다중 이종구조로 된 전자 수송층을 포함한 유기발광소자의 발광 효율은 구동전압의 변화에 따라 변하지 않는다. 이종계면의 수가 증가함에 따라 각각의 이종계면에서 축적되는 전자의 양이 감소하기 때문에 고전압에서 발광효율의 저하가 감소하였다. 그러므로 다중 이종구조를 가진 전자수송층 내에서 전자의 주입과 수송에 대한 원리는 안정화된 발광효율을 가지는 유기발광소자를 제작하는데 중요하다.

In this paper, we analyzed microwave-DC conversion efficiency for the dual-polarization rectenna and antenna position changing. And then we analyzed and applied Square-Loop FSS structure for reducing the diode harmonic components as a rectifying circuit. The results of microwave-DC conversion efficiency for the each of designed dual-polarization rectenna has 69.1% with $360\Omega$ (dipole type) and 75.4% with $340\Omega$ (patch type) optimum load resistor. When the each of dual-polarization rectenna has a optimal load resistor, it's conversion efficiency shows of $\pm$20% in dipole type and $\pm$5% in patch type at $0~180^{\circ}$position. When applied Square-Loop FSS structure for Rectenna, Insertion loss was under 1 dB as the passband and over 20 dB as the stopband. The microwave -DC conversion efficiency was represented good properties of $\pm$2% variation.

With rising concerns about pesticide spray drift by aerial application, this study attempt to evaluate aerodynamic property and collection efficiency of spray drift according to the leaf area index (LAI) of crop for preventing undesirable pesticide contamination by the spray-drift tunnel experiment. The collection efficiency of the plant with 'Low' LAI was measured at 16.13% at a wind speed of 1 m·s^-1. As the wind speed increased to 2 m·s^-1, the collection efficiency of plant with the same LAI level increased 1.80 times higher to 29.06%. For the 'Medium' level LAI, the collection efficiency was 24.42% and 43.06% at wind speed of 1 m·s^-1 and 2 m·s^-1, respectively. For the 'High' level LAI, it also increased 1.24 times higher as the wind speed increased. The measured results indicated that the collection of spray droplets by leaves were increased with LAI and wind speed. This also implied that dense leaves would have more advantages for preventing the drift of airborne spray droplets. Aerodynamic properties also tended to increase as the LAI increased, and the regression analysis of quadric equation and power law equation showed high explanatory of 0.96-0.99.

A power amplifier of 2.4 GHz ISM band is designed to implement a transmitter system. High efficiency amplifiers can be implemented as class E or class F amplifiers. This study has designed a 20 W high efficiency class E amplifier that has simple circuit structure in order to utilize for the ISM band application. The impedance matching circuit was designed by class E design theory and circuit simulation. The designed amplifier has the output power of 44.2 dBm and the power added efficiency of 69% at 2.45 GHz. In order to apply 30 dBm input power to the designed power amplifier, voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and driving amplifier have been fabricated for the input feeding circuit. The measurement of the power amplifier shows 43.2 dBm output and 65% power added efficiency. This study can be applied to the design of power amplifiers for various wireless communication systems such as wireless power transfer, radio jamming device and high power transmitter.

Proposed CCRSVP (Candidate Casting RSVP) algorithm is a new fast handoff method which uses advanced multicasting method and RSVP for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN (WLAN) environments. The proposed algorithm shows good performance in the handoff latency and the B/W efficiency aspect and guarantees QoS because it uses L2 information (BSSID) of WLAN and starts to reserve resources and multicast packets before L2 handoff completes. We also propose a Markov chain performance analysis model in which we can analyze the handoff performance of various handoff algorithms. Using the model, we compare bandwidth efficiency of the proposed algorithm with existing handoff algorithms which use RSVP by analyzing blocking probability of session, resource usage, and the average number of ongoing session in a cell. The results show that the proposed algorithm shows better performance than the existing algorithms in the above three performance aspects.

Motion compensation is a powerful method to compress an image sequence. Its main drawback is that once an error is occurred, the error propagates through the frames. Recently, the intra update method was proposed to stop the error propagation at the expense of reduction in compression efficiency. This paper proposes an intra update method based on a rate-distortion optimization in error prone environments. The rate and the distortion are estimated using the Lagrangian optimization to select the coding mode and the quantization step size. The proposed method is applied to MPEG-4 codec, and the experimental results show that it is robust to the error such as packet losses comparing with the conventional ones.

최근 Mobile Ad-hoc Networks(MANET)에서 보안 요소를 추가한 라우팅 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔다. 하지만 기존 연구들은 대부분 secure 라우팅 또는 패킷 자체에 대한 악의적인 행위가 이루어지는 부분 중 어느 한 측면에 대해서만 연구되어져 왔다. 이와 같은 방법들은 악의적인 노드를 확인하더라도 라우팅 경로 설정과정에서 악의적인 행위가 이루어지거나 라우팅 경로 설정에 대한 공격은 차단하더라고 패킷에 대한 악의적인 행위가 이루어지면 네트워크 내 보안 측면에서 큰 효율성을 기대할 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 일정기간 악의저인 행위가 이루어지는 노드를 확인하여 각 노드에 대한 신뢰단계를 구성 후, 획득한 각 노드의 신뢰레벨에 따라 라우팅 경로를 설정함으로써 패킷 및 라우팅 경로 설정에 대해 이루어질 수 있는 악의적인 행위를 효율적으로 대응 할 수 있는 방안인 IMSec(A identification of malicious node and secure communications in MANET)을 제안한다. IMSec은 AODV(Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector Routing)를 기반으로 하였다. NS-2 네트워크 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해, 제안된 IMSec은 기존 프로토콜보다 네트워크의 부하를 감소시킨 상태에서 악의적인 노드를 더 정확하고 신속하게 찾아냄을 보였다.
