본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.15.3a의 초광대역(Ultra Wideband: UWB) 시스템용 직접 변환 혼합기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 직접 변환 방식을 사용하는 UWB 혼합기는 dc offset, 2차 고조파 왜곡 등을 발생시키는데, 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 역병렬 다이오드 쌍을 이용하였다. 본 논문에서는 $3.1\~4.8$ GHz 동위상 전력분배기와 $1.5\~2.4$ GHz 광대역 $45^{\circ}$ 위상 분배기 설계를 위하여 결합선로를 이용한 새로운 월킨슨 분배기를 제안하였다. 역병렬 다이오드 구조와 광대역 소자를 이용한 혼합기의 제작 결과는 주파수 변환 손실이 약 18 dB, input third order intercept point($IIP_3$)는 약 15 dBm, 그리고 1-dB gain compression point($P_{1dB}$)는 2 dBm으로 측정되었다. I/Q 출력 양단 간의 전력오차는 0.5 dB, 그리고 위상오차는 ${\times}3^{\circ}$를 지닌 초광대역 쿼드러쳐 혼합기로 동작하였다.

Wireless sensor network technology is an emerging technology consisting of small, low power, and low cost devices that integrate limited computation, sensing, and radio communication capabilities. An ad-hoc home network system based embedded system for home environment monitoring was fabricated and tested. The wireless sensor node consists of a MCU, RF transceiver and sensors (temperature, humidity and light). Wireless sensor nodes run application software for data sampling and wireless communication, that was developed using 'nesC language' which runs on TinyOS. In our tests, acquired sensors data were monitored on 6.4" TFT-LCD of base-station through IEEE802.15.4 standard wireless communication. Also, the sensor data can be monitored by client user at the terminal PC to monitor environmental status of home in real time.

While the chirp signal is extensively used in radar and sonar systems for target decision in wireless communication systems, it has not been widely used for positioning in indoor environments. Recently, the IEEE 802.15.4a standard has adopted the chirp spread spectrum (CSS) as an underlying technique for low-power and low-complexity precise localization. Chirp signal based ranging solutions have been established and deployed but their ranging performance has not been analyzed in multipath environments. This paper presents a ranging performance analysis of a chirp signal and suggests a method to suppress multipath error by using a type of non-linear chirp signal. Multipath ranging performance is evaluated using a conventional linear chirp signal and the proposed non-linear chirp signal. We verify the feasibility of both methods using two-ray multipath model simulation. Our results demonstrate that the proposed non-linear chirp signal can successfully suppress the multipath error.

Combining multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) with a massive number of transmit antennas (massive MIMO-OFDM) is an attractive way of increasing the spectrum efficiency or reducing the transmission energy per bit. The effectiveness of Massive MIMO-OFDM is strongly affected by the channel state information (CSI) estimation method used. The overheads of training frame transmission and CSI feedback decrease multiple access channel (MAC) efficiency and increase the CSI estimation cost at a user station (STA). This paper proposes a CSI estimation scheme that reduces the training frame length by using a novel pilot design and a novel unitary matrix feedback method. The proposed pilot design and unitary matrix feedback enable the access point (AP) to estimate the CSI of the signal space of all transmit antennas using a small number of training frames. Simulations in an IEEE 802.11n channel verify the attractive transmission performance of the proposed methods.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.15.4 표준에 따른 저속 무선 개인영역 네트워크 환경에서 재전송 슬롯 기반의 실시간 서비스 방식을 제안한다. 제안 방식에서는 LR-WPAN 표준의 비컨 활성화 모드에서, 음성 전송과 같은 실시간 데이터 서비스 중에 에러가 발생되면 패킷 재전송을 위한 특정한 슬롯이 다음 슈퍼프레임에 동적으로 배정된다. 이는 열악한 채널 에러 환경에서 시간적인 다이버시티를 얻을 수 있도록 하여 QoS가 보장되도록 한다. 성능분석 결과에서 제안 방식은 LR-WPAN 환경에서 기존의 공통채널 방식보다 패킷 에러에 강인하면서도 우수한 전송률을 제공하며, GTS 슬롯당 사용률이 개선됨을 알 수 있다.

Establishing a fixed path for the message delivery through a wireless network is impossible due to the mobility. Among the number of routing protocols that have been proposed for wireless ad-hoc networks, the AODV(Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector) algorithm is suitable in the case of highly dynamic topology changes, along with ZigBee Routing(ZBR), with the exception of route maintenance. Accordingly, this paper introduces a routing scheme focusing on the energy efficiency and route discovery time for wireless alarm systems using IEEE 802.15.4-based ZigBee. Essentially, the proposed routing algorithm utilizes a cluster structure and applies ZBR within a cluster and DSR (Dynamic Source Routing) between clusters. The proposed algorithm does not require a routing table for the cluster heads, as the inter-cluster routing is performed using DSR. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated and compared with ZBR using an NS2 simulator. The results confirm that the proposed Cluster-based AODV (CAODV) algorithm is more efficient than ZBR in terms of the route discovery time and energy consumption.

This paper describes a robust mobile u-healthcare system with multiple physiological signs measurement capability in real time with integration of WSN(wireless sensor network) technology and CDMA(code division multiple access) network. A cellular phone receives health data in WSN and performs local physiological signs analysis at a phone processor, and then transmits abnormal data to server for further detail or precise health signal evaluation by a medical doctor over a CDMA network. Physiological signs of the patients are continuously monitored, processed and analyzed locally at cellular phone process to produce useful medical information for diagnosis and tracking purposes. By local simple analysis in cellular phone processor we can save the data transmission cost in CDMA network. By using the developed integrate ubiquitous healthcare service architecture, patients can realize self-health checking so that the prevention actions can be taken earlier. Appropriate self-monitoring and self-management can cure disease and relieve pain especially for patients who suffer from chronic diseases that need long term observation.

Recently, ubiquitous computing and sensor networks are making a rapid development. These technology can enable a new way of biomedical signal processing and healthcare. that is, they can improve care giving by a more flexible acquisition of relevant vital sign data, and by providing more convenience for patients. In this paper, we realize the biomedical sensor networks by applying IEEE 802.15.4/Zigbee networks to some various biomedical sensing unit. For address this, we developed minimized zigbee module and set-up procedure using PDA. The main advantages that we achieve are interference-free operation of different body sensor networks in the vicinity, as well as intuitive usage by the nontechnical personnel.

This paper describes a real time reliable monitoring method and analysis system using wrist type oximeter for ubiquitous healthcare service based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard. Photoplethysmograph(PPG) is simple and cost effective technique to measure blood volume change. In order to obtain and monitor physiological body signals continuously, a small size and low power consumption wrist type oximeter is designed for the measurement of oxygen saturation of a patient unobtrusively. The measured data is transferred to a central PC or server computer by using wireless sensor nodes in wireless sensor network for storage and analysis purposes. LabVIEW server program is designed to monitor stress indicator from heart rate variability(HRV) and process the measured PPG to accelerated plethysmograph(APG) by appling second order derivatives in server PC. These experimental results demonstrate that APG can precisely describe the features of an individual's PPG and be used as estimation of vascular elasticity for blood circulation.
