In this paper, we present a noise analysis and measurement results of a bio-radar system that can detect human heartbeat and respiration signals. The noise analysis including various phase noise effects is very important in designing the bio-radar system, since the frequency difference between the received signal and local oscillator is very small and the received power is very low. All of the noise components in a bio-radar system are considered from the point of view of SNR. From this analysis, it can be concluded that the phase noise due to antenna leakage is a dominant factor and is a function of range correlation. Therefore, the phase noise component with range correlation effect, which is the most important noise contribution, is measured using the measurement setup and compared with the calculated results. From the measurement results, our measurement setup can measure a closed-in phase noise of a free-running oscillator. Based on these results, it is possible to design a 2.4 GHz bio-radar system quantitatively which has a detection range of 50 cm and low power of 1 mW without additional PLL circuits.

본 연구에서는 비접촉 방식으로 심박과 호흡을 측정하기 위해 2.4GHz 대역에서 동작하는 도플러 레이더 센서와 베이스밴드 모듈로 구성된 도플러 레이더 시스템을 설계하고 그 성능을 평가하였다. 설계된 도플러 레이더 시스템은 심폐활동에 의한 흉부 표면의 움직임에 의해 반사되는 레이더의 위상변화를 이용하여 심폐 활동을 측정한다. 도플러 레이더 센서의 출력은 베이스 밴드 모듈의 전처리 필터부, 증폭부, 오프셋 조정부를 통과하여 호흡과 심박 신호로 분리된다. 분리된 생체신호는 기존의 생체신호와 상관성을 확인하기 위해 기준신호로 호흡과 심전도를 동시에 측정하여 그 결과를 비교 및 분석하였다. 설계된 도플러 레이더 시스템에서 분리된 호흡 및 심박 신호는 측정 대상의 움직임이 없는 상태에서는 높은 검출률을 보였으며, 도플러 레이더에서 심박과 호흡 신호를 검출한 결과 거리, 호흡과 심박의 변이량, 호흡과 심박대역에 따라 검출률이 영향을 받는다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

A channel is very sever in an underwater acoustic communication. Therefore, a modulation method with high spectrum efficiency is needed in an underwater acoustic communication. PSK(phase shift keying) for transmitting 1 bit or 2 bits is robust to noise, but sensitive to noise about more than 3 bits. CPFSK error performance for transmitting 1 bit or 2 bits is similar to that of PSK and CPFSK decreases high frequency components in modulation signal. In the paper, I analyze the performance of trellis coded 4-CPFSK modulation.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) systems have many advantages. However, OFDM systems are much affected by a nonlinear distortion because those systems have a high peak to average power ratio(PAPR) value. A selected mapping technology was suggested to reduce a PAPR value. The technology does not have data loss but receivers need side information to know modified phase sequence. Therefore, side information causes decreased a transmission efficiency. In this paper, we suggest a blind SLM receiver using a cross correlation technology. This receiver does not require side information. The proposed blind SLM receiver calculates sums of cross-correlation between transmitted pilot signals multiplied by each phase sequence and received pilot signals. So, this receiver detects side information which has a maximum sum cross-correlation value. We compared our proposed SLM receiver to a conventional blind SLM receiver through bit error rate(BER) and side information error rate(SIER) performances. Simulation results show that the proposed SLM receiver has improved BER and SIER performances than the conventional SLM receiver.

In this paper, We designed a waveguide-type feed structure that converts millimeter wave dual-polarized signals into monopulse signals and presented a manufacturing method. At millimeter-wave such as the W band, the size of the waveguide is very small, making it very difficult to manufacture complex structures. Therefore, because manufacturability is important for the waveguide-type feed structure in the millimeter-wave, electro forming and diffusion bonding were proposed and verified in this study. The designed monopulse feed structure consists of eight 180° hybrids that combine 90° hybrids and self-compensating phase shifters, and four OMTs to separate dual polarization. The designed feed structure was designed to facilitate electro forming and diffusion bonding, and the manufactured feed structure was verified through a network analyzer. It was confirmed that the two proposed production methods produce a monopulse signal well through the measured magnitude and phase of the port.

In this paper, we propose an image downscaler used in multimedia video applications, such as DTV, TV-PIP, PC-video, camcorder, videophone and so on. The proposed image downscaler provides a scaled image of high-quality and high-performance. This paper will explain the scaling theory using two-dimensional digital filters. It is the method that removes an aliasing noise and decreases the hardware complexity, compared with Pixel-drop and Upsamling. Also, this paper will prove it improves scaling precisians and decreases the loss of data, compared with the Scaler32, the Bt829 of Brooktree, and the SAA7114H of Philips. The proposed downscaler consists of the following four blocks: line memory, vertical scaler, horizontal scaler, and FIFO memory. In order to reduce the hardware complexity, the using digital filters are implemented by the multiplexer-adder type scheme and their all the coefficients can be simply implemented by using shifters and adders. It also decreases the loss of high frequency data because it provides the wider BW of 6MHz as adding the compensation filter. The proposed downscaler is modeled by using the Verilog-HDL and the model is verified by using the Cadence simulator. After the verification is done, the model is synthesized into gates by using the Synopsys. The synthesized downscaler is Placed and routed by the Mentor with the IDEC-C632 0.65${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ library for further IC implementation. The IC master is fixed in size by 4,500${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$\times$4,500${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The active layout size of the proposed downscaler is 2,528${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$\times$3,237${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

A wavelength-demodulation algorithm for FBG sensor is proposed by using a double-pass Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Zero-crossing points of double-passed interference signal are used to trigger the accurate $90^{\circ}C$ phase difference positions in the sensor signal, which is an essential condition in the subsequent arctangent and phase unwrapping signal processing. With the proposed method, we could efficiently measure various measurands, such as dynamic-, static-strain, and temperature, and ${\sim}8pm$ of wavelength resolution was obtained.

Range resolution is important performance parameter to distinguish a target accurately. The destination of modern radar systems, to overcome the limitations of existing analog radar systems, is to improve the range resolution of the distance with low transmission power. For that reason, the research on pulse compression techniques is briskly studying. In the Receiver, modulation system of transmitted signal which has used in pulse compression technique is divided PM and FM to distinguish a target. In this paper, We analysed and designed the pulse compression signal processing module using the Baker Code which is the one of PM method's.

In the coherent-on-receiver radar system using the magnetron source, frequency synthesizer is employed as a STALO(Stable Local Oscillator) to keep the intermediate frequency stable. In this paper, X-band(8.4GHz~9.7GHz) single loop frequency synthesizer is designed and implemented by an indirect frequency synthesis technique. Phase comparison is performed by a digital PLL(Phase-Locked Loop) chip and the loop filter is designed for the low phase noise. The effects of loop component characteristics on the output phase noise are analyzed for single loop structures, and the calculated results are compared with the measured data.
