A novel four-channel narrowband wavelength demultiplexer using integrated four vertical directional coupler structures is proposed and theoretically investigated. Four ridge waveguide with different ridge width are vertically coupled to a strip-loaded waveguide which results four different wavelengths filtered out to each ridge waveguide. In order to reduce the side-lobes, the coupling coefficients are varied along the propagation direction. The spectral responses of channels were found to be quite uniform. An average channel spacing of 7 nm with power coupling efficiency of ~90%, 3-dB passband width of 2 nm, and 20 dB side-lobe suppression ratio was achieved.

A new wavelength demultiplexing scheme using holographic volume phase grating formed in photopolymer is proposed and demonstrated. Through the analysis and experiments of the design parameters such as wavelength selectivity, operating spectral range, spatial channel distance and spatial intensity distribution of each channel, we proved that the proposed demultiplexing scheme is promising for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). From the experimental results, the 3 dB bandwidth of 0.21nm and the crosstalk level of 26 dB for a 0.8 nm channel spacing are observed.

In this paper, a wireless spectrum sensing receiver system is proposed. While a conventional Cognitive Radio(CR) system utilizes frequency down-conversion and demodulation to recognize wireless spectral signal, the proposed one is able to recover and sense valid signal at an RF front-end. It has been designed with a super-regeneration type circuit with a channel selectivity and variability for FDM applications with which a conventional single-channel super-regeneration circuit could not provide. From experimental evaluation, the implemented system has been optimized for channel allocation with quenching signal, and verified for 5 MHz-channel spacing.

In this paper, a closed-form expression of the ergodic channel capacity for a narrow-band time-reversal communication scheme is analytically formulated. In the time-reversal communication scenario, a transmitter sends a signal and a so-called time-reversal array receives the signal. Then, the received signal is reversed in the time do main and resent to the original transmitter. Here, one transmitter and an antenna array for the time-reversal array are assumed. Since the spacing between the array elements is large, the signals received by each antenna element can be considered independent. For simplicity, the communication channel is assumed stationary, whose properties are not changed for the time-reversal process. Based on the obtained formulation, the channel capacities for the time-reversal and the conventional channels are compared.

In this paper, the demonstration of a 130-channel optical demultiplexer based on the cascaded volume holographic gratings is presented. By serially adding the second holographic grating, which has different grating period, slant angle, and center wavelength compared to those of the first grating, the operating wavelength range of the optical demultiplexer could be expanded, and therefore, the number of channels of the holographic demultiplexer is increased by twice. As a result of the experiment, a 0.4-nm-spaced demultiplexer with the channel uniformity of 3.5 dB, the 3dB-bandwidth of 0.12nm, and the channel crosstalk of -20dB is experimentally achieved.

In this paper, we propose a channel estimation method by impulse signal train in OFDM. In order to estimate the channel response, 4 impulse signals are generated and transmitted during one OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbol. The intervals between the impulse signals are all equal in time domain. At the receiver, the impulse response signals are summed and averaged. And then, the averaged impulse response signal is zero padded and fast Fourier transformed to obtain the channel estimation. The BER performance of the proposed method is compared with those of conventional estimation method using the long training sequence in fast fading environments. The simulation results show that the proposed method improves by 3 dB in terms of Eb/No, compared with the conventional method.

The split-channel two-tone OOK method proposed in this paper can improve the communication performance of IoT in fading channel environment. The frequency diversity effect can be obtained by separating the interval of the two tone signals, and a performance gain of 8 dB can be obtained in the fading channel. In addition, by using split-channel, the problem of degradation of the channel bandwidth efficiency caused by the frequency diversity technique can be prevented, thereby reducing the bandwidth efficiency by allocating the remaining frequency channels to other users.

Charge trap flash (CTF) 구조를 가진 플래시 메모리 소자는 기존의 플래시 메모리 소자에 비해 쓰고 지우는 속도가 빠르고, 데이터의 저장 기간이 길며, 쓰고 지우는 동작에 의한 전계 스트레스에 잘 견디는 장점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 장점에도 불구하고 CTF 플래시 메모리에서도 수십 나노 이하로 소자의 셀 사이즈가 감소함에 따라 단 채널 효과, 펀치스루 현상 및 셀 사이의 간섭현상이 발생함에 따라 이러한 문제들을 해결해야 한다. 인접한 셀 사이에 발생하는 간섭 현상에 대해선 플로팅 게이트를 사용한 플래시 메모리 소자에 대하여 많은 연구가 진행되었으나, CTF 플래시 메모리 소자에서 나타나는 셀 사이의 간섭현상에 대한 연구는 만히 진행되어 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 CTF 플래시 메모리 소자의 셀 사이의 간격이 작아짐에 따라 발생하는 인접한 셀 간의 간섭 현상에 대해 관찰하였다. CTF 플래시 메모리 소자의 셀 사이의 간격에 따른 비교를 위하여 각 소자의 셀을 구성하는 터널링 산화막, 질화막 및 블로킹 산화막의 두께를 동일하게 하였다. 각 셀 사이의 간격이 감소함에 따라 발생하는 소자의 전기적 특성을 TCAD 시뮬레이션 툴인 Sentaurus를 사용하여 계산하였다. 인접한 셀의 상태에 따라 발생하는 간섭 효과를 확인하기 위해 word line (WL)과 bit line (BL) 방향에 있는 주변 셀의 프로그램 상태에 따른 선택한 셀의 문턱전압이 변화 정도를 관찰하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 셀 사이의 간섭효과가 WL 방향에 의한 간섭 현상보다 BL 방향에 의한 간섭 현상보다 크다. 시뮬레이션한 전류-전압 특성 결과는 CTF 플래시 메모리 소자가 비례 축소할 때 인접하는 셀 사이에 간격이 15 nm 이하로 줄어들 경우에 간섭 현상이 급격히 증가하였다.
