The error rate equation fo DS-BPSK(Direct Sequence Binary Phase Shift Keying) signal transmitted through the nonlinear satellite transponder has been derived in the cochannel interference and downlink Gaussian noise environment. The input to the satellite transponder is the superposition of DS-BPSK signal with one interfere which is a cochannel wide-band PN signal. The error rate performance of DS-BPSK system has been evaluated and shown in figures in terms of carrier to interference power ratio(CIR), downlink signal to noise power ratio(downlink SNR) and process gain. In the analysis, it has been shown that the use of a hard limiter in DS-BPSK satellite system leads to the generation of narrow-band intermodulation products which is independent of the process gain. Also it is known that the error rate performance can be improved in the low levels (below 10dB) of CIR as the CIR increase. As the process gain varies from 10 to 100 the curve gives the about 10 dB gain in downlink SNR to maintain a fixed error rate.

In railway systems, the exchange of information between running trains and wayside equipment is a very important role in various applications such as position detection and train control. Track circuits have been used as the medium for information transmission between trains and wayside. However, track circuits must be installed continuously along the track on the ground, resulting in an inevitable increase in installation and maintenance costs. One of the most promising solutions to reduce these costs is to mix continuous information transmission (via wireless communication) and discontinuous information transmission (via transponder). In this study, we designed antennas of railway high-speed transponder readers and tags for wireless power transmission, which can be used to transmit information from ground to high-speed trains with a maximum speed of 400km/h. We also verified system performance through computational simulation and prototyping.

This papers described with the analysis for electric Field strength on ground level transmitted from DMB transponder in stratosphere HAPS. It is compare with horizontal propagated ground wave. Resultly we confirm the equal strength a electric field on ground level between hish altitude vertical propagated wave and horizontal ground wave, also, is only 1W compare with terrestrial facility as transmitted output power for the DMB transponder in stratosphere HAPS. It is corresponding to 1Kw as same power value in ground propagated wave. Lastly it is new material wave source and also we concluding remarks as ubiquitous communication networking media.

Material Management is one of the most important task in construction projects. More than 50% of the cost in a construction project is related to material management process. Material management method using RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) is now trying to the construction field. However, there are no enough researches on effective material management in terms of how and where RFID transponder should be installed and there are no other research that which optimization method can be used for effective installation. Therefore, this paper suggest that where and how RFID transponder can be installed on the appropriate position in construction fields using Genetic Algorithm optimization method.

In this paper, we newly developed a passive transponder for visible light identification (VLID) using ultrasonic wave. The solar cell in the transponder receives the reader light and generates current for supplying power to the transponder circuit. At the same time the solar cell detects the interrogating signal in the visible light from the reader. The transponder recognizes the interrogating signal and generates the responding signal using ultrasonic wave. In experiments, we used 40 kHz ultrasonic wave for the responding signal from the transponder. The maximum read distance was about 3.4 m when the transponder was exposed to the reader light of 24W LED array.

In this paper, we introduce a new passive transponder that operates without external power in a visible light identification system. The transponder consists of a solar cell, a photodiode, a microprocessor, and a visible LED. When a reader sends light to the transponder, the solar cell generates current from the reader light and supplies power to the other elements in the transponder. At the same time, the photodiode detects the pulse in the reader light and initiates a microprocessor to generate and send a responding light to the reader. In experiments, we realized a passive transponder using a solar cell that operated at a distance of 1m without external power.

In this paper, we introduce a passive transponder in which an LED is used for both a light transmitter and a receiver, and a solar cell is used for supplying power to the all devices in the transponder. The LED in the transponder operates as a photodetector in the receiving mode, and acts as a light source in the transmitting mode. The current responsivity of the LED detector was measured to be in the order of $10^{-4}A/W$, and the receiving bandwidth with a load resistance of $10k{\Omega}$ was about 10 to 30 kHz. Using the LED for an optical transceiver in a VLID transponder, the detection range was about 70 cm when the transponder was illuminated by the visible light from a $3{\times}3$ LED array in a reader.

Ocean-bottom seismometer (OBS) positions are one of the key parameters in an OBS-airgun seismic survey for crustal structure study. To improve the quality of these parameters, we have developed a new method of determining OBS positions, using airgun shot data and bathymetric data in addition to available distance measurements by acoustic transponders. The traveltimes of direct water waves emitted by airgun shots and recorded by OBSs are used as important information for determining OBS locations, in cases where there are few acoustic transponder data (<3 sites). The new method consists of two steps. A global search is performed as the first step, to find nodes of the bathymetric grid that are the closest to explaining the observed direct water-wave traveltimes from airgun shots, and acoustic ranging using a transponder system. The use of precise 2D bathymetric data is most important if the bottom topography near the OBS is extremely rough. The locations of the nodes obtained by the first step are used as initial values for the second step, to avoid falling into local convergence minima. In the second step, a non-linear inverse method is executed. If the OBS internal clock shows large drift, a secondary correction for the OBS internal clock is obtained, as well as the OBS location, as final results by this method. We discuss the error and the influence of each measurement used in the determination of OBS location.

In this paper, we investigated the change of recognition distance according to the resonance frequency of the transponder for the ISO 14443 Type A 13.56MHz RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) system. We made thirteen transponders of the same size. The dimension of the transponder is $84.65mm{\times}53.00mm{\times}0.45mm$. We measured the resonance frequency by means of an inductive coupling. The measured resonance frequencies were between 12.9MHz and 17.3MHz. We measured the maximum distances where the transponder's USN(Unique Serial Number) was recognized and the subcarrier was observed. The measurement results show that we can obtain good performance when the Type A transponder has the resonance frequency around 14.2MHz for the given case.

In this paper, we have designed an active radio frequency identification system solving the problems of moving transponder which is identification range expanding and low battery consuming of transponder. Developed radio frequency identification system is a bidirectional data transmission system which is composed of decoder data transmission of 120 kHz and transponder data carrier of 60 kHz which is a subharmonic frequency response with ASK modulation. The experimental results, designed system operating at 9600 bps, show good performances with detecting the 40 km/h moving transponder up to the range of 2 and 15 ${mu}A$ low consuming current.
