Materials made of metals have their own manifest resonant frequencies. Using this property, the quality test of products from the factory can be performed. An impact is applied to the product and the frequencies of the sound and/or vibration are measured using high-end equipments. They use a general purpose computer or a DSP(: Digital Signal Processor)-based stand-alone system which is usually too large in-size to carry and expensive to build. In this paper, we introduce a system that is developed based on a MSP430 MCU(:Micro-Controller Unit) from TI(: Texas Instruments). The ultra-low power MSP430 MCUs make it possible to make a frequency analyzer in a very small size without the need of using a large-size battery. The proposed system can be used in situations where the frequency analyzer should be carried easily with an investigator and should be built at low cost sacrificing some accuracy. We implemented the system using a launchpad supplied by TI and could confirm that the proposed system could identify with a high-accuracy the frequencies of various artificial and natural sounds.

Ultra-wideband(UWB) communication applications is a recent innovation due to high transmission rate and low power emission. Therefore, it is important to research UWB signal's characteristics and modulation methods to apply to various UWB communication technologies. In this paper the characteristics of Gaussian monopulse which is capable of using UWB communication was analyzed and we compared the performance of PPM and PAM modulation method. Also we analyzed the interference effect of QPSK system with different center frequencies in the present of various UWB noises and simulated simple UWB transceiver system.

We designed asynchronous event logic library with 0.25$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS technology and interface chip for heterogeneous system with high-speed asynchronous FIFO operating at 1.6㎓. Optimized asynchronous standard cell layouts and Verilog models are designed for top-down design methodology. A method for mitigating a design bottleneck when it comes to tolerate clock skew is described. This communication scheme using clock control circuits, which is used for the free of synchronization failures, is analyzed and implemented. With clock control circuit and FIFO, high-speed communication between synchronous modules operating at different clock frequencies or with asynchronous modules is performed. The core size of implemented high-speed 32bit-interface chip for heterogeneous system is about 1.1mm ${\times}$ 1.1mm.

In the next generation of mobile communication systems, high data rates and high capacity will be possible if multiple antennas are used at new frequencies. This paper presents the correlations between channel parameter path loss (PL), delay spread (DS), angular spread (AS) and K-factor established based on channel measurements. To avoid interference from Korean DTV broadcasting, we measured the channel characteristics in urban/rural/suburban areas on Jeju Island using a channel sounder and $4{\times}4$ antennas. The correlations between channel parameter show that the wireless channel characteristics can be determined and effective communication system design can be produced for use in similar environments.

Scientific CubeSat with Instruments for Global Magnetic Fields and Radiations (SIGMA) is a 3-U size CubeSat that will be operated in low earth orbit (LEO). The SIGMA communication system uses a very high frequency (VHF) band for uplink and an ultra high frequency (UHF) band for downlink. Both frequencies belong to an amateur band. The ground station that communicates with SIGMA is located at Kyung Hee Astronomical Observatory (KHAO). For reliable communication, we carried out a laboratory (LAB) test and far-field tests between the CubeSat and a ground station. In the field test, we considered test parameters such as attenuation, antenna deployment, CubeSat body attitude, and Doppler frequency shift in transmitting commands and receiving data. In this paper, we present a communication performance test of SIGMA, a link budget analysis, and a field test process. We also compare the link budget with the field test results of transmitting commands and receiving data.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the causal relationships between communication situation - communication apprehension(CA), family communication orientation(FCO), individual viewing motives and perceived realism of aggressive films - and aggression. The data from 193 high school students were analysed by SAS program. The respondents were asked to complete the self-report questionnaires, and the data were analysed by Cronbach's to the reliability, factor analysis, frequencies, percentage, means, standard deviation, Pearson's correlation coefficient, Duncan's multiple test, multiple regression, and path analysis, The results showed that CA was positively related to both aggression against the materials, and potential aggression. FCO had no direct effect on aggression but concept-oriented family affected indirect effect on aggression through viewing motives. The ritualistic motives were more positively related to aggression and identity than instrumental motive.

This paper demonstrates the digital communication in air using the parametric array. The stepped-plate transducer which is suitable for high-power and high-efficient radiation is used to generate the difference frequency wave with the parametric array. The primary frequencies are selected to 83 kHz and 122 kHz and the resulting difference frequency wave at the frequency of 39 kHz is used for the communication. The modulation method is selected to On-Off Keying method. The waveform and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is measured and analyzed to see the characteristics of the digital communication using the parametric array. The proper distance for the communication using parametric array is about 3 m. The measured beam width of the 3dB SNR reduction was $14^{\circ}$. The possibility of the communication in air using the parametric array is confirmed and the high directional characteristic of the communication using the parametric array is expected to have the advantages for the multi path and the security problems.

Most of previous replication schemes assume lazy schemes, which asynchronously propagate replica updates to other nodes after the updating transaction commits. While lazy schemes are novel in the sense that they can resolve high deadlock frequencies of eager schemes, they suffer from the fact that users should be responsible for the data consistency. Recently replication schemes based on the messaging order of group communication have been studied. They can reduce the deadlock frequencies using the messaging order, but they have another problem of increasing execution overhead of aborted transactions at high degree of concurrency. This is because the sender node validates global serializability after multicasting replica update messages to other nodes. In this paper, we propose an efficient eager replication scheme for reducing the number of messaging and overhead of aborted transactions significantly. The proposed scheme validates any conflicts before multicasting and does not multicast when there is any conflict; hence, it can exploit performance improvement by alleviating the message traffic for replica update or by reducing the number of disk accesses and locking delay due to aborted transactions.
