Information & Communication Technology(ICT), called ubiquitous computing, changes our environment in many ways. It also acts on educational environment in concert with new pedagogy. Korean Government gives an efforts to set up the u-School as the educational environment supported by ICT. This study aims to find efficient uses of ICT to cope with the changing education environment and emerging needs of users. The survey research follows the pilot study on the model of future school. The students and teachers in six schools located in Busan answered the questionnaire and 752 individuals were analyzed by the statistical method including frequencies, crosstabs, ANOVA, and factor analysis. The conclusions are as follows: (1) Highly demanded were the u-School facilities to provide pleasant environment as the teachers and students have to spend most of time in classroom, or school premises. In addition, the infrastructures were so desperately required that students are able to control their textbooks and belongings, and efficiently utilize a variety of data. (2) The classroom volume should be planned a bit smaller than the current number of students so that teachers are relieved from the burden of too many student. The needs of students to interact with more students can be bolstered by utilization of ICT. (3) The respondents feel the high needs of computer for student, electronic blackboard, electronic lecture desk, microphone and computer for teacher as the teaching and learning facilities. This showed high needs for teaching and learning facilities enabling the active and individual learning through the use of ICT at education environment. In conclusion, the study proposes the fundamental data to combine u-School elements proper to the current learning and school environment, from the analysis on the use of school facilities, with the subjects, the users of education environment.

[ $ZnWO_4$ ] shows excellent frequency selectivity due to its high quality factor($Q{\times}f$) at microwave frequencies. However, in order to use $ZnWO_4$ as multilayered wireless communication components, its other properties such as sintering temperature($1050^{\circ}C$), ${\tau}_f$ ($-70ppm/^{\circ}C$) and ${\varepsilon}_r(15.5)$ should be modified. In present study, $TiO_2$ and LiF were used to improve the microwave dielectric and sintering properties of $ZnWO_4$. $TiO_2$ additions to $ZnWO_4$ changed ${\tau}_f$ from negative to positive value, and also increased ${\varepsilon}_r$ due to its high ${\tau}_f$ ($+400ppm/^{\circ}C$) and ${\varepsilon}_r$(100). At 20 mol% $TiO_2$ addition, ${\tau}_f$ was controlled to near zero $ppm/^{\circ}C$ with ${\varepsilon}_r=19.4$ and $Q{\times}f=50000GHz$. However, the sintering temperature was still high to $1100^{\circ}C$. LiF addition to the $ZnWO_4+TiO_2$ mixture was greatly reduced the sintering temperature from $1100^{\circ}C$ to $850^{\circ}C$ due to liquid phase formation. Also LiF addition decreased the ${\tau}_f$ value due to its high negative ${\tau}_f$ value. Therefore, by controlling the $TiO_2$ and LiF amount, temperature stable LTCC material in the $ZnWO_4$-TiO_2-LiF$ system could be fabricated.

In city, tracing of power transmission lines is difficult due to compound installation of overhead and underground lines, transposition, bad view caused by trees or big buildings. It is hard problem for electrical technician on site to trace power transformers or power lines to serve customers in 3 phase -4 wires power distribution systems. It is necessary that the correct and fast tracing method is required for load balancing among distribution lines. Old technology use to trace lines with high power impulse injection. Our proposed method uses to trace lines with very small power high frequency signal injection. Simulation models for 3-phase power transformers, 3-phase wire lines, and customer loads are described to investigate the transmission characteristics of high frequency power line carrier. Distribution lines have only a limited ability to carry higher frequencies. Typically power transformers in the distribution system prevent propagating the higher frequency carrier signal. The proposed method uses the limited propagation ability to identify the power transformer to serve customers. The system consists of a transmitter and a receiver with power-line communication module. Some experiments are conducted to verify the theoretical concepts in a big commercial building. Also some simulations are done to help and understand the concepts by using MATLAB Simulink simulator.

To measure the fatigue of metallic objects at high speed vibration while non-contact precision displacement measurement on how to have a lot of research conducted. Noncontact high-speed vibration detection sensor of the eddy current sensors and laser sensors are used, but it is very expensive. Recently, High-speed vibrations detection using an inexpensive inductive sensor to have been studied, but is still a beginner. In this paper, a new design of an inexpensive inductive proximity sensor has been suggested in order to measure high frequency dynamic displacements of metallic specimens in a noncontact manner. Detection of the existing inductive sensors, detection, integral, and amplified through a process to detect the displacement noise due to weak nature of analog circuits and integral factor in the process of displacement detection is slow. The proposed method could be less affected by noise, the analog receive and high-speed signal processing is a new way, because AD converter (Analog to Digital converter) without using the vibration frequency signals directly into digital signals are converted. In order to evaluate the sensing performance, The proposed sensor module using non-contact vibration signals were detected while shaker vibration frequencies from 30Hz to 1,100 Hz at intervals of vibrating metallic specimens. Experimental results, Vibration frequency detection range of the metallic specimins within close proximity to contactless 5mm could be measured from DC to 1,100Hz and vibration amplitude of the resolution was $20{\mu}m$. Therefore, the proposed non-contact inductive sensor module for precision vibration detection sensor is estimated to have sufficient performance.

Recently, with the development of broadcasting communication, users expect to receive high quality and various broadcasting services anytime, anywhere. In the case of terrestrial broadcasting, HD broadcasting and mobile broadcasting are provided at different frequencies. In the case of terrestrial UHD, which recently started trial broadcasting, 700MHz frequency is used which is different from the existing one. If the contents of the same contents are transmitted at different frequencies, it can be considered ineffective in terms of the use efficiency of the terrestrial broadcast frequency. As a method to solve this problem, a transmission system model and a service have been proposed for transmitting the hierarchical encoded UHD contents by SHVC on the basis of the multimedia transmission technology MMT in a heterogeneous network environment combining broadcast network and communication network. However, it is still in the initial stage of study the receiving model that can reliably receive various quality UHD contents in various environments such as mobile and fixed environment. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a receive buffer model that can reliably receive UHD contents layered on SHVC based on MMT.

Traffic accidents caused by the attention dispersion are increasing and the behavior of the attention dispersion affects the front-observing rate, road keeping ability, and reaction time for a dangerous situation. Many drivers listen to a radio broadcast and they have to change the frequency for continuously listening a radio broadcast of the specific broadcasting station in case of crossing a boundary of the particular area. In this situation, the possibility of a car accident increases, because the attention dispersion of a driver might be occurred. Especially, the risk of a car accident caused by changing the frequency of a radio is more serious in the highway, due to the high speed of a vehicle. In order to reduce the risk of a car accident caused by handling a radio during driving car, in this paper, we propose an automatic frequency conversion algorithm for vehicle radio, which saves normal system frequencies of primary broadcasting stations in a database and determines new frequency of the changed area using the location information obtained from a navigation system in a boundary of the specific area. After determining new frequency, the proposed algorithm selects a frequency with better receiving rate comparing signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) of two signals corresponding previous and new frequencies.

This paper proposes a novel concept for a microstrip resonator that can function as a filter and as an antenna at the same time. The proposed structure consists of an outer ring, an open loop-type inner ring, a circular patch, and three ports. The frequencies where the proposed structure works as a filter and as an antenna, respectively, are determined primarily by the radius of the inner ring and the circular patch. The measured results show that, when the microstrip resonator operates as a filtering device, this filter has about 15.1 % bandwidth at the center frequency of 0.63 GHz and a minimum insertion loss of 1.5 dB within passband. There are three transmission zeros at 0.52 GHz, 1.14 GHz, and 2.22 GHz. In the upper stopband, cross coupling - taking place at the stub of the outer ring - and the open loop-type inner ring produce one transmission zero each. The circular patch generates the dual-mode property of the filter and another transmission zero, whose location can be easily adjusted by altering the size of the circular patch. The proposed structure works as an antenna at 2.7 GHz, showing a gain of 3.8 dBi. Compared to a conventional patch antenna, the proposed structure has a similar antenna gain. At the resonant frequencies of the filter and the antenna, high isolation(less than -25 dB) between the filter port and the antenna port can be obtained.

In this paper, an analysis method for indoor optical wireless channel properties based on photon model is presented for characterization of communication environment. In contrast to radio waves, optical waves have very short wave-lengths and very high frequencies, so that material properties become important. Channel models including diffuse reflections and absorption effects due to material surface textures make conventional electromagnetic wave analysis methods based on ray tracing consume enormous time. To overcome these problems, an analysis method using photon model is presented that approximates light intensity by a density of photons. The photon model ensures that simulation time is within a predictable limit.

Deviating from the exclusive frequency assignment, UWB has utilized much wider frequency range, worked independently without interfering other frequencies, and simultaneously enabled to increase more than hundreds of Mbps data transmission rate. In considering its high data rate and no interference, UWB certainly has an infinite and technical potential. In this paper, we studied the UWB technology as well as its technological trend, analyzed UWB antenna, and actualized a small antenna for wireless video streaming devices.
