In this paper, we propose an efficient variable-length radix-8/4/2 FFT architecture for OFDM systems. The FFT processor is based on radix-8 FFT algorithm and also supports radix-4 or radix-2 FFT computation. We are using efficient "In-place" memory access method to maintain conflict-free data access and minimize memory size. Also we replace a very large lookup table with a twiddle factor generator which consumes less area then a ROM-based lookup table. The proposed FFT processor performs variable-length FFT including 64, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 and 8192 points which cover all the required FFT lengths used in 802.11a, 802.16a, DAB, DVB-T, VDSL and ADSL.

This paper analyzed the transmission performance when we transmited digital TV signal through analog CATV network. We considered random noise, microreflection, and composite tripple beats as channel impairment factors, and random noise and CTB( Composite Tripple Beat) are modelled as Gaussian distribution and Weibull distribution respectively. Channel modellings for microreflections are classified as three cases, and we exploited carrier recovery and blind equalizer to minimize their effects. We developed a computer simulator for the digital transmission system using DVB-C specification to analyze digital transmission performance, and found BER values according to $E_{b}$/$N_{o}$ for each configuration.

This raper proposes a dual-bandstop filter, which is based on a metamaterial transmission line using the composite right/left-handed (CRLH) and dual composite right/left-handed (D-CRLH) structures. The metamaterial structure is used for miniaturization and dual-bandstop operation at the TDMB frequency range (195 MHz) and DVB-T/H frequency range (670 MHz). The size of the proposed filter is $30{\times}15\;mm$, and the -10 dB bandstop fractional bandwidth is approximately 73 % and 50 % at each frequency, respectively.

In this paper, a terrestrial transmission system is proposed for the next generation digital television (DTV) system by applying a hybrid multi-input multi-output (MIMO) technology based on linear dispersion codes (LDCs). The digital video broadcasting-2nd generation terrestrial (DVB-T2) system adopted a space time block code (STBC) for improving receive performance. However, the data rate of STBC is not increased in proportion to the transmitter. The hybrid STBC scheme utilizes several STBC transmission blocks for increasing data rate. It is possible to increase the data rate and performance in the receiver by utilizing LDC. The performances of the proposed and conventional hybrid STBC schemes are evaluated through computer simulations.

케이블 방송망에서 최대 10Gbps 테이터 전송을 위해 최근 북미에서 표준화된 DOCSIS 3.1(Data over Cable Service Interface Specifications Version 3.1)에서는 고차 혼합 변조(Mixed Modulation) 방식을 제시하였다. DOCSIS 3.1 은 하향 데이터 전송을 위해 최대 192MHz 의 대역에서 4K 또는 8K 다중 직교 반송파를 사용한다. 특히 채널 오류 정정을 위한 채널 부호화 방법으로 유럽의 차세대 케이블 방송 표준인 DVB-C2(Digital Video Broadcasting - Cable Version 2)에 정의된 BCH(Bose, Chaudhuri, and Hocquenghem)와 LDPC(Low Density Parity Check) 연접부호를 사용한다. 단, DOCSIS 3.1 에서는 DVB-C2 와 달리 부호율 8/9 의 Short Mode 부호만을 사용하며 최대 16384-QAM 까지 사용한다. 하나의 부호율을 사용하기 때문에 QAM 차수에 따른 요구 SNR 의 차가 크게 된다. 주어진 채널 상황에서 최적의 전송용량을 얻기 위해 QAM 차수에 따른 요구 SNR 의 차를 줄일 수 있는 방법으로 혼합 변조가 도입되었으며, 본 논문에서는 혼합 변조에 따른 수신 성능을 제시한다.

Today's digital broadcasting services based on DVB-SI standard are provided a two-way broadcast. However, using the power of STB if the user does not use a waste of time spent on standby power is becoming a serious problem. Accordingly, for energy savings both at home and abroad to actively promote green policies, but highly functional STB, the internal software to automatically update the appropriate scheduling techniques are not shown, power usage does not meet the standard can. Therefore, In this paper We analyze the current STB technology and the problems, as proper use of power to the standard STB design scheme and the automatic software installation method of operation is presented.

Underwater acoustic(UWA) communication has multipath error because of reflection by sea-level and sea-bottom. The multipath of UWA channel causes signal distortion and error floor. In this paper, we proposed split input bits of channel decoder using method of maximum value, average value, LLR value for optimal estimation. Channel coding method is LDPC(N size=16000) standard in DVB-S2. As shown in simulation results, the performance of LLR value method is better than other methods.

이 연구는 Ka대역 위성 HDTV 방송 서비스를 제공하기 위해 강우강도에 따른 전송방안을 제안하였다. Ka대역은 Ku대역에 비하여 강우에 취약하기 때문에 이를 안정적으로 활용하기 위해서는 강우감쇠를 효과적으로 경감시키는 기술개발이 필수적이다. 유럽위성방송 표준인 DVB-S2에서는 강우감쇠에 대한 대처방안으로 채널상황에 따라 여러 변조방식과 채널 부호 율을 이용하는 적응형 변복조 방식을 지원하고 있으며, 이 논문에서는 DVB-S2기반의 전송방식과 Ka대역 중계기의 규격을 적용하여 강우강도에 따른 전송방안을 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 ITU-R P.618-9 강우감쇠 추정 모델과 기상청에서 측정한 1998년부터 2007년까지의 최근 10년간 국내 주요지역의 30분 누적강우량을 이용하여 지역별 강우 감쇠값을 도출하였고 강우강도와 시간 율 관계분석을 통하여 강우강도에 따른 강우감쇠 값을 획득하였다. 획득한 강우감쇠 값을 무궁화 위성 3호의 링크 설계에 적용하여 강우강도에 따른 적용 가능한 전송방안을 도출하였다. 이 연구를 바탕으로 강우의 지역적 편이가 높은 우리나라의 강우 특성을 유연하게 반영하여 각 지역에 맞는 적응적인 전송 방식을 고려할 수 있다.

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.

The ion exchange resins have been synthesized from chlormethyl styrene - 1,4 -divinyl-benzene(DVB) with $1\%,\;4\%,\;and\;10\%$-crosslinking and macrocyclic ligand of cryptand type by copolymerization method and the adsorption characteristics of uranium(VI), calcium(II) and lutetium(III) metallic ions have been investigated in various experimental conditions. The synthesis of these resins was confirmed by content of chlorine, element analysis, and IR-spectrum. The effects of pH, time, dielectric constant of solvent and crosslink on adsorption of metallic ions were investigated. The uranium ion was showed fast adsorption on the resins above pH 3. The optimum equilibrium time for adsorption of metallic ions was about two hours. The adsorption selectivity determined in ethanol was in increasing order uranium $(UO_2^{2+})>calcium(Ca^{2+})>lutetium(Lu^{3+})$ ion. The adsorption was order of $1\%,\;4\%,\;and\;10\%$ crosslink resin and adsorption of resin decreased in proportion to order of dielectric constant of solvents.
