Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has been focused on as 4th generation communication method for realization of Ubiquitous Network in land mobile communications services, and has been a standard technology of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) for a High Date Rate communication. And in maritime data communication using high frequency (HF) band, 32-point FFT OFDM system is recommended by International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Maritime communication should be kept on connecting when maritime accident or the maritime disaster happen. Therefore, main device FFT should be operated with low power consumption. In this paper we propose a low power 32-point FFT algorithm using radix-2 and radix-4 for low power operation. The proposed algorithm was designed using VHSIC hardware description language (VHDL), and it was confirmed that the output value of Spartan-3 field-programmable gate array (FPGA) board corresponded to the output value calculated using Matlab. The proposed 32-point FFT algorithm will be useful as a leading technology in a HF maritime data communication.

This paper is to propose a new line code suitable for a high speed unipolar pulse transmission system, such as a high speed optical digital transmission system. The original information speed can be converted into the transmission speed $\frac{(m+1)}{m}$ by the speed converter. Then this code, named mBiZ code, is generated by means of an Exclusive NOR between the bit stream inserted a space into every m bits and the bit stream delayed by the time slot allocated a single bit at the output coded sequence. Therefore, a mBiZ code can reduce a redundancy in the line code for transmission and its conversion circuits can be devised easily. The mBiZ code can also suppress undesirable long consecuitive identical digits and make line code balance in the mark and space ratio. Therefore, high frequency and low frequency components in power spectrum of a mBiZ code can be suppessed.

The importance of high-speed networking is ever increasing to better support multimedia application such as video conferencing. It is crucial to synchronize the network so that the delay between computers on the network is minimized. In high-speed LAN, for example, most computers use clocks with almost same frequency to minimize the delay for data transmission. However, because of the deviation of transmitter's and receiver's clock frequency and phase difference there can be a metastability problem. Elasticity buffer is to provide a solution for this situation and this paper presents an implementation is a high-speed elasticity buffer.

In this paper, we reported on a high performance MMIC star mixer for millimeter-wave applications. The star mixer was fabricated using drain-source-connected pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (PHEMT) diodes considering the PHEMT MMIC full process on 2 mil thick GaAs substrate. The average conversion loss of 13 dB was measured in the RF frequency range of 81 GHz to 86 GHz at LO frequency of 75 GHz with LO power of 10 dBm. The RF-LO isolation characteristics are greater than 30 dB and the input 1-dB compression are approximately 4 dBm. The total chip size is 0.8 mm ${\times}$ 0.8 mm.

High frequency SAW filters for cellular communications were fabricated by metallizing 36$^{\circ}$Y-X LiTaO$_3$piezoelectric substrate with IIDT type electrodes. It was found that the center frequency of the filter was lowered than as designed. In order to overcome such a drawback and enable a fine tuning of its center frequency, dielectric SiN$_{x}$ thin films were deposited on LiTaO$_3$substrate by PECVD as passivation layer and then frequency responses were also characterized. As a result, the center frequency of the filter could be shifted to a higher frequency with increasing the thickness of SiN$_{x}$ film, because SAW velocity increased with increasing the ratio of the thickness of dielectric thin film to wavelength. The insertion loss of the filter, however, became larger with increasing the thickness of SiN$_{x}$ film.

In this paper, we propose a super-resolution algorithm using an adaptive weighted interpolation(AWI) and discrete wavelet transform(DWT). In general, super-resolution algorithms for single-image, probability based operations have been used for searching high-frequency components. Consequently, the complexity of the algorithm is increased and it causes the increase of processing time. In the proposed algorithm, we first find high-frequency sub-bands by using DWT. Then we apply an AWI to the obtained high-frequency sub-bands to make them have the same size as the input image. Now, the interpolated high-frequency sub-bands and input image are properly combined and perform the inverse DWT. For the experiments, we use the down-sampled version of the original image($512{\times}512$) as a test image($256{\times}256$). Through experiment, we confirm the improved efficiency of the proposed algorithm comparing with interpolation algorithms and also save the processing time comparing with the probability based algorithms even with the similar performance.

In this paper, interference analysis is carried out to obtain the operating criterion and coexistence condition between digital television devices and cognitive radio-based mobile wimax devices in the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) broadcasting frequency bands. To this end, an efficient interfering calculation tool known as SEAMCAT (Spectrum Engineering Advanced Monte-Carlo Analysis Tool) is employed to acquire the coexistence criterions between heterogeneous radio links operating in the same portion of spectrum. As a result, these criterions will be used to achieve interference temperature limit level applied to interference temperature model for analyzing the capacity of cognitive radio receivers accurately.

It has been a big trend of the convergence technologies about communication systems and vehicular industry to improve safety and convenience. To achieve a number of infotainment vehicular applications, vehicles should transmit information with high reliability. A robust and accurate channel estimation scheme is of great importance to achieve the goal. In this paper, we present a novel enhanced decision-directed channel estimation scheme called FADP (Frequency Averaging Data Pilot) for dynamic time-varying vehicular channels in IEEE 802.11p. We use linear averaging filtering in frequency domain, and utilize the correlation characteristic of the channels between the adjacent two data symbols, update the CR in time domain to get more accuracy. Finally, analysis and simulation results reveal that compared with exist schemes, the proposed scheme has a good performance in mean square error (MSE) and bit error rate (BER).

In this paper, we proposed and evaluated ARAH(Adaptive Random Access algorithm for HIPERLAN/2) to improve system performance. In this paper, HIPERLAN/2 uses OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) modulation scheme to select appropriate PHY mode by Radio Channel Quality, Proposed the ARAH scheme uses these 7 PHY mode when mobile terminal determines the RCH(Random CHannel) number for random access. In this paper, these 7 PHY mode divided into two group, good and bad, and will be given high priority to mobile terminals which are in a good group. In the result of performance evaluation. ARAH algorithm, ARAH has a better performance of throughput and delay than existing algorithm.

The conventional weakly-coupled tap-off for CATV and/or MATV transmitting circuits has been fabricated empirically and experimentally. So, the theoretical analysis or the design method of the conventional one has not been established, the characteristics of which were not good. To solve these problems, we have proposed a modified weakly-coupled freedom in design. This paper describes the design theories and analysis method of the theoretical frequency characteristics of a Modified Weakly-coupled Tap-off with high density of coupling intervals for CATV and/or MATV system. From the theoretical analysis it has been shown that the frequency characteristics of the tap-off proposed here are improved much in comparision with the conventional one. Furthermore, the practical measurements of frequency characteristics for the fabricated circuits show agreement with the theoretical results, and hence, the validity of proposed design and analysis methods has been confirmed.
