We developed a base station modulator ASIC for CDMA digital cellular system. In CDMA digital cellular system, the modulation is performed by convolutional encoding and QPSK with spread spectrum. The function blocks of base station modulator are CRC, convolutional encoder, interleaver pseudo-moise scrambler, power control bit puncturing, walsh cover, QPSK, gain controller, combiner and multiplexer. Each function block was designed by the logic synthesis of VHDL codes. The VHDL code was described at register transfer level and the size of code is about 8,000 lines. The circuit simulation and logic simulation were performed by COMPASS tools. The chip (ES-C2212B CMB) contains 25,205 gates and 3 Kbit SRAM, and its chip size is 5.25 mm * 5,45 mm in 0.8 mm CMOS cell-based design technology. It is packaged in 68 pin PLCC and the power dissipation at 10MHz is 300 mW at 5V. The ASIC has been fully tested and successfully working on the CDMA base station system.

This paper presents the implementation technique to reduce circuit area occupation in designing Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) using vertical shunt symmetric inductor. We applied a vertical shunt symmetric inductor to match the input and output in 3 GHz CMOS LNA to reduce the circuit area. This size efficient amplifier has been designed in a $0.18\;{\mu}m$ digital logic CMOS process. In this paper, the case of conventional asymmetric inductor, and vertical shunt symmetrical inductor with a relatively higher number of turns have been compared in order to efficient a size efficient CMOS LNA design method while still retaining the circuit operation characteristics.

In this paper, we developed an efficient virtual experiment kit with creative and interactive multimedia contents, which can be used to enhance the quality of education in the area of digital logic circuits. Since our virtual experiment kit is implemented to describe the on-campus laboratory, the learners can obtain similar experimental data through it. Also, our web-based virtual experiment kit is designed to enhance the efficiency of both the learners and the educators. The learners will be able to achieve high learning standard and the educators save time and labor. The virtual experiment is performed according to the following procedure: (1) Circuit Composition on the Bread Board (2) Applying Input Voltage (3) Output Measurements (4) Checkout of Experiment Results. Furthermore, the circuit composition on the bread board and its corresponding online schematic diagram are displayed together on the virtual experiment kit for the learner's convenience. Finally, we have obtained several affirmative effects such as reducing the total experimental hours and the damage rate for experimental equipments and increasing learning efficiencies as well as faculty productivity.

This study collected 1,870 English news articles related to research and development of autonomous vehicles in order to identify various issues emerging in the research and development process of autonomous vehicles at home and abroad, and conducted topic modeling after data pre-processing. As a result of topic modeling, we extracted 20 topics, and we performed naming operations for topics and interpreted their meanings. A logical model for autonomous vehicle research and development projects was presented in response to the R&D process of input, activity, output, and outcome of derived topics. The analysis results of this study will be used as basic data to accurately determine the progress of domestic and foreign self-driving car research and development projects and prepare for the rapidly changing technology development.

In an autonomous multi-mobile robot environment, optimal path planning without collision which connects the beginning and ending point is essential and primary important. Many mobile robots should move autonomously without prior or given information about obstacles which are stationary or dynamic. Collision free optimal path planning for multi mobile robots is proposed in this paper. The proposed approach is based on a potential field method and fuzzy logic system. First, a global path planner using potential field method selects the shortest path from each robot to its own target. Then, a local path planner modifies the path and orientation from the global planner to avoid collisions with static and dynamic obstacles using a fuzzy logic system. To verify performance of this method, several simulation-based experimental are done and their results are discussed. These results show that the path planning and collision avoidance strategies are effective and useful for multi-mobile robot systems.

This paper proposes an efficient structure which is able to perform self-detection and self-repair for faults in a digital system by imitating the structure of living beings. The self-repair system is composed of artificial cells, which have homogeneous structures in the two-dimension, and spare cells. An artificial cell is composed of a logic block based on multiplexers, and a genome block, which controls the logic block. The cell is designed using DCVSL (differential cascode voltage switch logic) structure to self-detect faults. If a fault occurs in an artificial cell, it is self-detected by the DCVSL. Then the artificial cells which belong to the column are disabled and reconfigured using both neighbour cells and spare cells to be repaired. A self-repairable 2-bit up/down counter has been fabricated using Hynix $0.35{\mu}m$ technology with $1.14{\times}0.99mm^2$ core area and verified through the circuit simulation and chip test.

Today, the demand for high-speed data communication and mobile communication has exploded. Thus, there is a growing need for optical communication systems that convert large volumes of data to optical signals and that accommodate and transmit the signals across long distances. Digital optical communication with these characteristics consists of a master unit (MU) and a slave unit (SU). However, the digital optical units that are currently commercialized or being developed transmit data without compression. Thus, digital optical communication using these units is restricted by the quantity of optical frames when adding diversity or operating with various combinations of CDMA, WCDMA, WiBro, GSM, LTE, and other mobile communication technologies. This paper suggests the application of a data compression algorithm to a digital signal processor (DSP) chip as a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and a complex programmable logic device (CPLD) of a digital optical unit to add separate optical waves or to transmit complex data without specific changes in design of the optical frame.
