This paper deals with a method to measure the thickness of scale-layer, iron oxide formed on the surface of the rolling steel, using a dielectric lens antenna. The dielectric lens antenna has an independent characteristic with the frequency in the X-band and changes the spherical wave radiated from a horn antenna into a plane wave at the focusing point. Using this concept, we regard a scale-layer on the rolling steel as a dielectric-PEC(Perfect Electric Conductor) layer and apply a theoretical analysis of the normal-incident plane wave. To reduce the phase error arising from the use of the dielectric lens antenna, this paper utilizes a regression process algorithm. In comparison with the conventional iteration algorithm, the present algorithm led to a unique solution for the thickness of the scale-layer.

Video representation through representative frames (key frames) has been addressed frequently as an efficient way of preserving the whole temporal information of sequence with a considerably smaller amount of data. Such compact video representation is suitable for the purpose of video browsing in limited storage or transmission bandwidth environments. In a case like this, the controllability of the total key frame number (i.e. key frame rate) depending on the storage or bandwidth capacity is an important requirement of a key frame selection method. In this paper, we present a sequential key frame selection method when the number of key frames is given as a constraint. It first selects the desired number of initial key frames and determines non-overlapping initial time intervals that are represented by each key frame. Then, it adjusts the positions of key frames and time intervals by iteration, which minimizes the distortion. Experimental result demonstrates the improved performance of our algorithm over the existing approaches.

Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) is a linearization technique for nonlinear power amplifiers (PAs) by implementing inverse function of the PA at baseband digital stage. To obtain proper DPD parameters, a feedback path is required to convert the PA output to a baseband signal, and a memory is also needed to store the feedback signals. DPD parameters are usually found by an adaptive algorithm from the feedback samples. However, for the adaptive algorithm to converge to a reliable solution, long feedback samples are required, which increases convergence time and hardware complexity. In this paper, we propose a DPD technique that requires relatively short feedback samples. From the observation that the convergence time of the adaptive algorithm highly depends on the initial condition, this paper iteratively utilizes the feedback samples while keeping and using the converged DPD parameters at the former iteration as the initial condition at the current iteration. Computer simulation results show that the proposed method performs better than the conventional technique while the former requires much shorter feedback samples than the latter.

This paper proposes the adaptive suboptimal iterative algorithm using threshold to reduce system complexity in the PTS\`s. Performance of the proposed adaptive suboptimal iteration algorithm is represented in terms of iteration number and CDF. In the case of the number of sub-block is 4, the 10-3 PAPR of the proposed method and P S improved this by 0.4dB compared to Cimini\`s. And the complexity of the proposed method was reduced to nearly 22% for the PTS\`s and 44% for the Cimini\`s for 8dB threshold. For the 8 sub-blocks, the 10$\^$-3/ PAPR of the proposed method reduced by 0.7dB compared to PTS\`s, but improved by 0.4dB compared to Cimini\`s. And the complexity of the proposed method was reduced to nearly 2.4% for the PTS\`s and 39% for the Cimini\`s.

In this paper, we propose a compressed sensing-based signal recovery technique for an uplink multi-user spatial modulation (MU-SM) system. In the MU-SM system, only one antenna among $N_t$ antennas of each user becomes active by nature. Thus, this characteristics is exploited for signal recovery at a base station. We modify the conventional orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm which has been widely used for sparse signal recovery in literature for the MU-SM system, which is called MU-OMP. We also propose a parallel OMP algorithm for the MU-SM system, which is called MU-POMP. Specifically, in the proposed algorithms, antenna indices of a specific user who was selected in the previous iteration are excluded in the next iteration of the OMP algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms outperform the conventional OMP algorithm in the MU-SM system.

In this paper, we propose an improved side information processing scheme which is important in the sub-block phase weighting(SPW) method for the peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR) reduction. SPW method is to divide the input OFDM subchannels into several subblocks and to multiply phase weighting with each subblocks, properly for the reduction of the peak power. SPW method is similar to the conventional PTS method when the number of sub-carriers, signal modulation format and the number of subblocks are the same. However, unlike the conventional PTS(Partial Transmit Sequence) and SLM(Selected Mapping) method using many stages of IFFT(Inverse Fast Fourier Transform), SPW method only needs one IFFT. Although PAPR can be reduced by SPW method, complex computation burden still remains. In this paper the flipping algorithm and the full iteration algorithm are used f3r the phase control method. Through the computer simulation, we analyze and discuss the properties and the performance of the suggested method.

The nonlinear aerodynamic analysis of wing with control surface is performed using the frequency-domain panel method. To take into consideration the nonlinear aerodynamic characteristics of wing an iterative decambering approach is introduced. The iterative decambering approach uses the known aerodynamic characteristics of airfoil to calculate the aerodynamic characteristics of wing. The multi-dimensional Newton iteration is used to account for the coupling between the different sections of wing. The present method is verified by showing that it produces results that are in good agreement with experiments. The present method will be useful for the analysis of aircraft in the conceptual design because the present method can calculate promptly the nonlinear aerodynamic characteristics of wing with a few computing resources.

This paper presents the high-throughput fully-parallel architecture for GF(64) (160,80) regular (2,4) non-binary LDPC (NB-LDPC) codes decoder based on the extended min sum algorithm. We exploit the NB-LDPC code that features a very low check node and variable node degree to reduce the complexity of decoder. This paper designs the fully-parallel architecture and allows the interleaving check node and variable node to increase the throughput of the decoder. We further improve the throughput by the proposed early sorting to reduce the latency of the check node operation. The proposed decoder has the latency of 37 cycles in the one decoding iteration and achieves a high throughput of 1402Mbps at 625MHz.

In this paper, a shear-flexible finite element model is developed for the buckling analysis of axially loaded, thin-walled composite I-beams. Based on an orthogonal Cartesian coordinate system, the displacement fields are defined using the first-order shear-deformable beam theory. The derived element takes into account flexural shear deformation and torsional warping deformation. Three different types of beam elements, namely, the two-noded, three-noded, and four-noded beam elements, were developed to solve the governing equations. An inverse iteration with shift eigenvalue solution was used to solve the resulting linearized buckling problem. A parametric study was conducted to show the importance of shear flexibility and fiber orientation on the buckling behavior of thin-walled composite beams. A good agreement was obtained among the proposed shear-flexible model, other results available in literature, and the finite element solution.
