In this paper, we propose the hierarchical network synchronization scheme that is backward compatible for the existing commercial system, efficient for total system performance, and whose hardware modification is minimized. This system performance is, the relationship among bandwidth efficiency, complexity and MODEM performance, and superiority of network system applicability. The proposed structure can remedy the high hardware complexity and the lower accuracy of network sychronization that the existing satellite communication terminal system in the star network based on TDM/MF-TDMA of DVB-S2/RCS standards has. Besides, It has high efficiency in view of cost and system performance if the system designed for satellite broadcast requires system upgrade. In the body section, its hardware complexity and system performance of the proposed algorithm is analysed theoretically and treated with the related parameters(symbol rate, spreading factor, etc.) and the BER performance of control channel through the computer simulation for its verification that it can be applied for communications system.

In the DVB-T2 system with a multiple-input single-output (MISO) transmission mode, Alamouti coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals are transmitted simultaneously from two spatially separated transmitters in a single frequency network (SFN). In such systems, each transmit-receive link may have a distinct carrier frequency offset (CFO) due to the Doppler shift and/or frequency mismatch between the local oscillators. Thus, the received signal experiences dual CFOs. This not only causes dual phase errors in desired data but also introduces inter-carrier interference (ICI), which cannot be removed completely by simply performing a CFO compensation. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes an iterative detection with dual phase errors compensation technique. In addition, we propose a successive-iterative ICI cancellation technique. This technique successively eliminates ICI in the initial iteration by exploiting pre-detected data pairs. Then, in subsequent iterations, it performs a fine interference cancellation using a priori information, iteratively fed back from the channel decoder. In contrast to previous works, the proposed techniques do not require estimates of dual CFOs. Their performances are evaluated via a full DVB-T2 simulator. Simulation results show that the DVB-T2 receiver equipped with the proposed dual phase errors compensation and the successive-iterative ICI cancellation techniques achieves almost the same performance as ideal dual CFOs-free systems, even for large dual CFOs.

This paper presents a fully digital gain control system with a new high bandwidth and wide dynamic range power detector for DVB-S2 application. Because the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of DVB-S2 system is so high and the settling time requirement is so stringent, the conventional closed-loop analog gain control scheme cannot be used. The digital gain control is necessary for the robust gain control and the direct digital interface with the baseband modem. Also, it has several advantages over the analog gain control in terms of the settling time and insensitivity to the process, voltage and temperature variation. In order to have a wide gain range with fine step resolution, a new AGC system is proposed. The system is composed of high-bandwidth digital VGAs, wide dynamic range power detectors with RMS detector, low power SAR type ADC, and a digital gain controller. To reduce the power consumption and chip area, only one SAR type ADC is used, and its input is time-interleaved based on four power detectors. Simulation and measurement results show that the new AGC system converges with gain error less than 0.25 dB to the desired level within $10{\mu}s$. It is implemented in a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The measurement results of the proposed IF AGC system exhibit 80-dB gain range with 0.25-dB resolution, 8 nV/$\sqrt{Hz}$ input referred noise, and 5-dBm $IIP_3$ at 60-mW power consumption. The power detector shows the 35dB dynamic range for 100 MHz input.

A series of anion exchange composite membranes were prepared and characterized for electro-dialysis process used in the removal of toxic anion and cation polutants in groundwater or wastewater. The membranes were prepared as follows; first, porous poly(ethylene) (PE) substrates were fully impregnated with monomer mixtures with various ratio of vinylbenzylchloride (VBC), divinylbenzene (DVB) and ${\alpha},\;{\alpha}$-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN). Second, they were thermally polymerized to yield crosslinked poly(VBC-DVB)/PE composite membranes. Finally, the membranes were treated in trimethylamine (TMA)/acetone to give $-N^+(CH_3)_3$-containing poly(VBC-DVB)/PE membranes. The basic membrane properties such as ion exchange capacity (IEC), electric resistance and water content of the resulting membranes were measured as a function of VBC/DVB and TMA/Acetone content. As a result, the composite membranes showed lower electric resistance, lower water content and higher IEC than commercial anion exchange membranes (AMX, Astom) due to thin PE substrates, indicating that the composite membranes could be successfully applied to the electrodialysis for water treatment.

This paper describes a design of variable-length FFT/IFFT processor for OFDM-based communication systems. The designed FFT/IFFT processor adopts the in-place single-memory architecture, and uses a hybrid structure of radix-4 and radix-2 DIF algorithms to accommodate FFT lengths of $N=64{\times}2^k$ ($0{\leq}k{\leq}7$). To achieve both memory size reduction and the improved SQNR, a two-step conditional scaling technique is devised, which conditionally scales the intermediate results of each computational stage. The performance analysis results show that the average SQNR's of 64~8,192-point FFT's are over 60-dB. The processor synthesized with a $0.35-{\mu}m$ CMOS cell library can operate with 75-MHz@3.3-V clock, and 64-point and 8,192-point FFT's can be computed in $2.55-{\mu}s$ and $762.7-{\mu}s$, respectively, thus it satisfies the specifications of wireless LAN, DMB, and DVB systems.

For the application of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), sulfonated polystyrene/teflon (PS/PTFE) composite membranes were developed by changing monomer ratio of styrene and DVB. The composite membranes were prepared as follows: first, the monomer mixtures consisting of styrene, divinyl benzene and AIBN were impregnated in porous PTFE film and then, polymerized under 8$0^{\circ}C$ to give PS/PTFE membranes. Finally, the membranes were reacted with chlorosulfonic acid in 1,2-dichloroethane to give the sulfonated composite membranes. The measurements of ATR-FTIR, SEM, solvent uptake test and ion exchange capacity (IEC) were done for the resulting membranes before or after sulfonation, respectively, which showed the composite membranes with proper crosslinking degree and sulfonic acid content were prepared well as a function of styrene/DVB ratio. ion conductivity and methanol permeability were studied for the sulfonated membranes. It was found that with decreasing the ratio of styrene/DVB, methanol permeability decreased from $6.6{\times}10^{-7}∼1.3{\timas}10^{-7}$ $\textrm{cm}^2$/s, which are much lower values than that of Nafion$^{(R)}$117($1.02{\times}10^{-6}$ $\textrm{cm}^2$/s). Under the same monomer condition, ion conductivity decreased from 0.11 S/cm ($25^{\circ}C$) to 0.08 S/cm ($25^{\circ}C$), which are similar or a little higher values compared with $Nafion^{(R)}117 (1.02{\times}10^{-6}$ $\textrm{cm}^2$/s, 0.0824 S/cm). These two results confirmed the composite membranes prepared could be applied successfully to DMFC.C.

In this paper, "a wireless camera image transmission system" is aimed for the free camera shooting in the indoor and outdoor environments. Currently in broadcasting program production environments, because the cable connections between TV OB VAN(outside broadcasting VAN) and EFP camera or ENG camera have many obstacles and limits of distances, it is very unconvienent for the free camera shooting. Therefore in this paper, wireless image transmission device and receiving device in DVB-T broadcasting are developed. In this paper, analog composite image signal output camera, image signal compression MPEG-2 system and COFDM mage transmission system are produced and experimented. The results for the image and transmission system had good QoS values and from this results, it is possible to apply TV program productions and wireless CCTV device industries.

In this study, it was prepared for nanofiber with high impact polystyrene(HIPS). HIPS is able to crosslinking after electrospinning with crosslinking agent and it could overcome brittle characteristics of polystyrene(PS). After thermal crosslinking, HIPS nanofiber was sulfonated by sulfuric acid. It was investigated FT-IR, XPS, water uptake, ion exchange capacity(IEC), SEM, and contact angle. According to the result of FT-IR and XPS, it was increased due to introduce the hydrophilic group($SO_3H$) in the HIPS nanofiber. The highest water uptake and IEC were 75.6%, 2.67 meq/ g at 120 min sulfonation time with 7.5 wt% DVB.
