In this paper, we investigate the signal to noise ratio (SNR) estimation performance of Cross quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), which is being used for asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL), very high bit rate digital subscriber line (VDSL), and digital video broadcasting - cable (DVB-C), and has been found to be useful in adaptive modulation and blind equalization. At first, the symbol error rate (SER) performance of Cross QAM is analyzed in Rayleigh fading channel. Then we suggest error vector magnitude (EVM) based SNR estimation utilizing the selected constellation points having different types of decision region from one another, and verify that SNR estimation performance of each points have different performance pattern through simulation. From the simulation results, it has been found that when suggested selected constellation points are used for SNR estimation in Cross QAM, estimation performance is enhanced in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel or Ricean fading channel.

This paper focus on lane recognition performance test using a road lane constraint with transport infrastructure information. The constraint is determined through the relation of the drive direction and vehicle position. The road lane constraint sets large limit for first and last lane. To analyze the performance of the proposed method, simulations are carried out. The results show that the lane recognition performance using a constraint is improved 40% at four-lane, 25% at six-lane, 15% at eight-lane.

The demand for high performance computer grows to solve large linear systems of equations in such engineering fields - circuit simulation for VLSI design, image processing, structural engineering, aerodynamics, etc. Many various parallel processing systems have been proposed and manufactured to satisfy the demand. The properties of linear system determine what algorithm is proper to solve the problem. Direct methods or iterative methods can be used for solving the problem. In this paper, an intelligent parallel iterative method for solving linear systems of equations with large sparse matrices is proposed and its efficiency is proved through simulation.

A dynamic simulation and test of frame with thin walled closed section beams considering warping conditions have been performed. When a beam is subjected under torsional moment, the cross section will deform an warping as well as twist. For some thin-walled sections warping will be large, and accompanying warping restraint will induce axial and shear stresses and reduce the twist of beam which stiffens the beam in torsion. This paper presents that an warping restraint factor in finite element model effects the behavior of beam deformation and dynamic mode shape. The computer modelling of frame is discussed in linear beam element model and linear thin shell element model, also presents a correlation between computer predicted and actual experimental results for static deflection, natural frequencies and mode shapes of frame.

Global Navagation Satellite System(GNSS) is divided into Local Area Differential GNSS and Wide Area Differential GNSS. Wide Area DGNSS has more complicated structure and massage type. And transfer rate is limited, so efficient message scheduling algorithm is needed to guarantee user's accuracy and integrity. There are about 30 message types in Wide Area DGNSS. Each message type has different update interval. In this paper, the performances of message scheduling algorithm for Wide Area Differential GNSS are investigated. For all message types, results show that max update time interval requirement is satisfied.

The aim of this paper is to analyze handling qualities of tiltrotor aircraft(TR-S4) in helicopter flight mode including hovering and forward flight. Analysis of handling qualities is composed of aircraft response to control inputs that effect on stability and controllability. In short term response analysis, bandwidth is the critical parameter for small amplitude motions since it relates to the ability of a pilot to crisply start and stop maneuver. The handling qualities of TR-S4 in helicopter mode are analyzed with a SAS and an attitude controller and are satisfied level 1 in almost criteria with simulation of TR-S4 6-DOF nonlinear model.

This paper describes an unequal Bagley divider using uniform transmission lines with adjustment electrical lengths between output ports. To obtain an arbitrary dividing ratio of Bagley divider, we have only adjusted the electrical lengths of the transmission line between output ports. All the transmission lines have the same characteristic impedance value. This design method does not require an impedance transformer for port matching. For verification, we simulated and fabricated a 3-way, 1:2:1 and 5-way, 2:3:4:3:2 ratio Bagley divider with an operating frequency of 2 GHz. The experimental results are in agreement with the simulated results.

This paper suggests the parameters of the requirement conditions of minimum performance for a RF transceiver system design from the specifications of IEEE Std 802.11b and IEEE Std 802.11a. It has yielded the requirement conditions of minimum performance in the design process due to these parameters. A RF transceiver system is simulated by using Agilent ADS(Advanced Design System) after selecting the components of optimal conditions to fabricate the RF transceiver system. The results of both the analysis and the simulation will be used for a real wireless LAN design.

In this paper the detection time of the distress signal for the satellite-based search and rescue (SAR) system is evaluated. Present LEOSAR system in operation employs a few Low-altitude Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites and hence provides poor and local coverage availability. This results in a considerably long waiting time for a distress beacon to be detected by a rescue mission control center. One can expect that the detection time of the distress signal will be significantly reduced if the proposed MEOSAR system, which is based on the Medium-altitude Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites, is implemented. Taking into account the influence of the obstacles on the beacon signal, simulations are carried out to evaluate the detection time of distress signals for the LEOSAR and MEOSAR systems and the corresponding results are analyzed.

본 연구에서는 자율운항선박이 복잡한 항계 내에서 다양한 해상 객체와의 충돌을 회피하기 위하여 계층적 경로 생성 기법을 연계하는 프레임워크를 제안한다. 항계 내에는 항로를 항행하는 선박 외에도 정박 영역 내 정박 또는 묘박 중인 선박뿐만 아니라 항로 표지나 부표와 같은 정적 객체들이 다양하게 분포되어 있다. 자율운항선박의 효율적 운항을 위해서는 운항 중에 조우하게 되는 객체의 정적/동적 속성에 따라 경로 생성 기법이 달리 적용되어야 한다. 본 연구에서 제안한 경로 생성 프레임워크는 항계 내의 정적 객체나 항행 가항 영역 및 항행 불가항 영역 등에 대한 위치 정보들은 사전적 정보로 활용 가능하므로, 샘플링 기반의 전역 경로 생성 기법을 적용하여, 초기 출발지에서 최종 목적지까지의 예상 경로를 생성한다. 그리고 생성된 전역 경로를 추종하며 운항하는 과정에서 조우하게 되는 동적 객체들과의 조우 상황별 국제해상 충돌예방규칙(COLREGs)을 고려한 지역 경로를 생성한다. 샘플링 기반의 전역 경로와 국소 영역에서의 충돌 회피를 위한 지역 경로를 연계하기 위한 계층적 경로 생성 프레임워크를 설계하고, 수치 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안한 프레임워크의 유용성을 검증하였다.
