The wavelet transform chip is implemented with Daubechies' 4 tap filter. It works at 20MHz in Field Programmable Gate array (FPGA) implementation of Quadrature Mirror Filter(QMF) Lattice Structure. In this paper, the structure contains taro-channel quadrature mirror filter, data format converter(DFC), delay control unit(DCU), and three 20$\times$8 bits real multiplier. The structures for the DFC and DCU need to he regular and scalable, require minimum number of regular, and thereby lead to an efficient and scalable architecture for the Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT). These results present the possibility that it can be used in Digital Signal Processing(DSP) application faster than Fourier transform at small area with lour cost.

This paper implements mobile Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) receiver using Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology. SDR system is difficult to implement on the mobile handset because of restrictions that are computing power and under space constraints. The implemented receiver processes mobile WiMAX software modem on Open Multimedia Application Platform (OMAP) System on Chip (SoC) and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). OMAP SoC is composed of ARM processor and Digital Signal Processor (DSP). ARM processor supports Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instruction which could operate on a vector of data with a single instruction and DSP is powerful image and video accelerators. For this reason, we suggest the possibility of SDR technology in the mobile handset. In order to verify the performance of the mobile WiMAX receiver, we measure the software modem runtime respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed receiver is able to do real-time signal processing.

In this paper, we propose a vision system using a field programmable gate array(FPGA) and a smart vision chip. The output of the vision chip is varied by illumination conditions. This chip is suitable as a surveillance system in a dynamic environment. However, because the output swing of a smart vision chip is too small to definitely confirm the warning signal with the FPGA, a modification was needed for a reliable signal. The proposed system is based on a transmission control protocol/internet protocol(TCP/IP) that enables monitoring from a remote place. The warning signal indicates that some objects are too near.

In the three-axis control of satellites by using on-board actuators, gyros are usually used to measure the attitude angles and angular rates. The gyros are operated by electronic parts and mechanical actuators. The digital components of the electronic parts consist of largely FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) as one of the methods for VLSI(Very Large Scale Integrated) circuit design, while the mechanical parts provide output signal directly by mechanical actuation of a spinning rotor. In this research, a mixed mode of gyro is implemented in FGA. In addition to the hardware implementation, the simulation study was conducted by using the SABER for the mixed mode simulator. Results for the practical implementation of the satellite ACS (Attitude Control System) interfaced with the data processing are also presented to validate the FPGA implementation.

A safety class field programmable gate array based system in nuclear power plant has been developed to improve the diversity. Testbench is necessary to satisfy the technical reference, IEC-62566, for verification and validation of register transfer level code. We use the open verification methodology(OVM) developed by standard body. We show that our testbench can use random input for test. And also we show that reusability of block level testbench for the integration level testbench, which is very efficient for large scale system like nuclear reactor protection system.

최신의 디지털 방식 UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supply)는 10여 년 전의 아날로그 UPS에 비해 많은 설계 요인들로 인해 복잡해지고 있다. 고속-고성능의 DSP(Digital Signal Process), 다수의 I/O를 위한 FPGA(Field-Programmable Gate Array), 다기능의 사용자 인터페이스 그리고 다양한 통신 등이 그 예라고 할 수 있다. 임베디드 디자인이 이렇게 복잡해지면서 하드웨어나 소프트웨어를 신뢰성 있게 테스트하기에 기존 방법으로는 충분치 않게 되었다. 본문에서는 NI(National Instruments)의 버추얼 인스트루먼트(Virtual Instrument) 기술을 이용하여 자동화된 테스트 시스템에 대해 기술한다.

In the three axis control of satellite by using reaction wheel and gyro, a Gyro carries out measuring of the attitude angie and the attitude angular velocity. The Gyro is operated by the electronic part and the mechanic actuator. The digital part of the electronic part is consisted of the FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), which is one of the methods for designing VLSI (Very Large Scale Integrated Circuit), and the mechanic actuator processes the input/output data by the dynamic model. In the research of the mixed mode of Gyro, the simulation is accomplished by SABER of the mixed mode simulator and the results for the practical implementation of the satellite ACS (Attitude Control System) interfaced with the data processing are proposed.

The paper describes a implementation of space vector pulse-width modulation voltage source inverter and interfacing of DSP using field programmable gate array(FPGA) for a induction motor vector control system. The implemented chip is included logic circuits for SVPWM, dead time compensation and speed detection using Quick Logic, QLl6X24B. The maximum operating frequency and delay time can be set to 110MHz and 6 nsec. The designed Application Specific Integrated Circuit(ASIC) for SVPWM can be incorporated with a digital signal processing to provide a simple and effective solution for high performance induction motor drives with a voltage source inverter. Simulation and implementation results are shown to verify the usefulness of ASIC in a motor drive system and power electronics applications.

본 논문은 고해상도의 영상을 처리하는 이동기기 등에 사용되는 SoC(System On a Chip)에 구현이 용이한 효과적인 화질 향상 (잡음감소와 윤곽강조) 을 위한 방법과 구조에 대한 것이다. 최근 이동기기의 발전과 진화에 따라 여러 형태의 이동기기가 개발되고 있는데 그 중 최근 인기를 끌고 있는 포터블 미디어 플레이어 (PMP)나 HD(Hight Definition)급 camcorder 등이 고해상도의 영상을 처리하는 이동기기로 분류될 수 있다. 이러한 이동기기에서 고해상도 영상에 대한 화질 향상을 기존의 복잡한 방법을 사용해 처리한다면 메모리 대역폭이나 하드웨어 크기 등의 증가로 이동기기에서 구현하는데 어려움이 따른다. 이에 본 논문에서는 이러한 이동기기에서의 고해상도의 화질 향상을 입력영상의 종류에 따라 선택적으로 메모리 대역폭 사용 없이 하드웨어 크기를 최소화하여 FPGA (field programmable gate array)나 ASIC (application specific integrated circuit)으로 구현이 용이하도록 하는 방법과 구조에 대해 설명하고 실제 영상을 가지고 실험한 결과로 주관적 화질 향상 효과를 가져 온 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

A feedwater controller targeted for an ABWR has been implemented using a modern field programmable gate array (FPGA), and verified using the full scope simulator at Taipower's Lungmen nuclear power station. The adopted control algorithm is a rule-based fuzzy logic. Point to point validation of the FPGA circuit board has been executed using a digital pattern generator. The simulation model of the simulator was employed for verification and validation of the controller design under various plant initial conditions. The transient response and the steady state tracking ability were evaluated and showed satisfactory results. The present work has demonstrated that the FPGA based approach incorporated with a rule-based fuzzy logic control algorithm is a flexible yet feasible approach for feedwater controller design in nuclear power plant applications.
