An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with coded direct index modulation(OFDM-CDIM) system that can achieve higher performance and spectral efficiency than previous OFDM systems is proposed. Previous OFDM with index modulation(IM) and OFDM-IM using dual modes systems allocate additional data to indices of respective subcarriers through combining operation with high complexity and then transmit them. However, the proposed system directly allocates the mode selection information to each subcarrier without performing additional operations. Then, the system selects and transmits one symbol in the selected mode. Furthermore, only the data allocated to the index of the subcarrier is encoded, and a good performance improvement effect is obtained with a high code rate. Simulation results show quantitatively that an OFDM-CDIM system using four modes improves bit error rate performance and transmission efficiency in additive white Gaussian noise and Rayleigh fading channel environments compared with a conventional OFDM system using 4-ary quadrature amplitude modulation.

In this paper, we propose a blind equalization method for advanced terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (AT-DMB) systems which use hierarchical modulation. The AT-DMB system adopts hierarchical 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM) to ensure backward-compatibly with the differential quadrature phase shift keying (DQPSK) signal of the legacy terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) systems and to support higher transmission rate. Due to the hierarchical modulation, the conventional T-DMB signal and the additional signal have different error rate at same signal to noise ratio (SNR). By weighting the decided symbols differently according to the reliability of the symbols, i.e., high priority symbol with low error rate and low priority symbol with high error rate, we can improve the channel estimation accuracy. In this paper, we analyze SNR loss by hierarchical modulation and confirm it through simulations. Moreover, through simulations, we verify that the proposed weighting method improve BER compared to the no-weighting method.

This paper deals with the novel DPWM(discontinuous PWM) for 3-level inverter. Although DPWM methods generate higher harmonics than SVPWM they are of special interest because of their lower switching losses. And in the high modulation region the harmonic characteristics of DPWM is superior to the that of CPWM. However when DPWM applies to the 3-level inverter there is the problem that the output state is varied suddenly in the low modulation region($\textrm{m}_{I}$=0~0.5) The novel DPWM that this problem improves will be introduced.

The selection transmit diversity is an effective way to avoid the deep fading in a wireless channel. However, it may not completely eliminate the SNR fluctuation of a received signal at the receiver. This letter presents an application of an adaptive modulation effectively exploiting the SNR variation over time for a higher spectral efficiency to the conventional selection transmit diversity. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme can achieve a SNR gain of about 7 dB over the conventional selection diversity in a flat Rayleigh fading environment, when a BER of 10$^{-3}$ and a spectral efficiency of 2 bps/Hz are required..

In this paper, we propose a new EIM(erasure insertion method) based on the average-minimal-noise-power for HOM(higher order modulation) over AWGN(additive white Gaussian noise) under PBJ(partial-band jamming). Then we design SFH/SS(slow-frequency-hopping spread-spectrum) system by applying this method and formulate the PER(packet error rate) of the system. Based on this formula, we propose a new method to set the optimal threshold of the EIM and verify it at the designed 16-QAM SFH/SS system.

This paper is to establish a basis for a dose reduction strategy by confirming correlations with the factors that may affect the radiation dose based on the dose records in low-dose chest CT and abdominal non-contrast CT. In order to find out the causes of unnecessary exposure, the correlation between seven factors (age, gender, height, weight, BMI, patient status [inpatient and outpatient], and use of dose modulation) and CT dose were identified. Logistic regression was used as the statistical analysis for correlation verification. In the low dose chest CT, as the higher values of height and BMI and dose modulation off were associated with lowering the risk exceeding Diagnostic Reference Levels(DRL) (odds ration<1, p<0.05). However, as woman compared to man and the higher values of weight were associated with highering the risk exceeding DRL (odds ration>1, p<0.05). In the abdomen CT, as dose modulation off were associated with lowering the risk exceeding DRL (odds ration<1, p<0.05). Therefore It is necessary to conduct research on the relationship between various factors affecting radiation exposure and patient radiation dose for reducing the dose.

The CCFL dimming control methods are generally used lamp current regulation or average current adjustment method feeding the CCFL inverter. Inverter operation frequency is higher than resonant frequency for safe operation. In this study, we design the half-bridge type series and parallel resonant converter circuit that switches at variable frequency modulation methods to control the output power. This method has advantages such as low EMI and reduced harmonics, and it is convenient for dimming control using a microprocessor. The validity of this study is confirmed from the simulation and experimental results.

A new frequency-modulated m-sequence correlation technique was described. It has. been seen that the frequency modulation scheme leads to higher signal-to-noise ratio than direct sequencing and less hardware effort than PSK modulation scheme. The operating frequency of the correlation system was deduced. The optimal frequency for the frequency-modulated m-sequence correlation system should be 1.35 times of the center frequency of the transducer. The application of this correlation technique to electromagnetic ultrasonic system was computer-simulated.

This paper employs the reproducing kernel (RK) approximation for evaluation of field theory-based incompatibility tensor in a polycrystalline plasticity simulation. The modulation patterns, which is interpreted as mimicking geometrical-type dislocation substructures, are obtained based on the proposed method. Comparisons are made using FEM and RK based approximation methods among different support sizes and other evaluation conditions of the strain gradients. It is demonstrated that the evolution of the modulation patterns needs to be accurately calculated at each time step to yield a correct physical interpretation. The effect of the higher order strain derivative processing zone on the predicted modulation patterns is also discussed.

Carbon coils could be synthesized on nickel catalyst layer-deposited silicon oxide substrate using $C_2H_2$ and $H_2$ as source gases under thermal chemical vapor deposition system. By the incorporation of $SF_6$ additive in cyclic modulation manner, the dominant formation of the nanosized carbon coils could be achieved with maintaining the minimized sulfur additive amount. The geometry variation of the as-grown carbon coils, such as linear type, microsized coil type, wavelike nanosized coil type, and nanosized coil type, were investigated according to the different cyclic modulation manner of $SF_6$ flow. $SF_6$ gas incorporation develops the coil-type geometry. Furthermore, the higher flow rate of $SF_6$ gas increased the amount of the nanosized carbon coils. The slightly increased etching ability by $SF_6$ addition seems to be the cause for these results.
