In this paper, we propose self-organizing schemes for the initial configuration of the neighbor cell list (NCL), maintenance of the NCL, and physical cell identifier (PCI) allocation in heterogeneous networks such as long term evolution systems where lower transmission power nodes are additionally deployed in macrocell networks. Accurate NCL maintenance is required for efficient PCI allocation and for avoiding handover delay and redundantly increased system overhead. Proposed self-organizing schemes for the initial NCL configuration and PCI allocation are based on evolved universal terrestrial radio access network NodeB (eNB) scanning that measures reference signal to interference and noise ratio and reference symbol received power, respectively, transmitted from adjacent eNBs. On the other hand, the maintenance of the NCL is managed by adding or removing cells based on periodic user equipment measurements. We provide performance analysis of the proposed schemes under various scenarios in the respects of NCL detection probability, NCL false alarm rate, handover delay area ratio, PCI conflict ratio, etc.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a system which is used to encode data using multiple carriers instead of the traditional single carrier system. This method improves the spectral efficiency (optimum use of bandwidth). It also lessens the effect of fading and intersymbol interference (ISI). In 1995, digital audio broadcast (DAB) adopted OFDM as the first standard using OFDM. Later in 1997, it was adopted for digital video broadcast (DVB). Currently, it has been adopted for WiMAX and LTE standards. In this project, a Verilog design is employed to implement an OFDM transmitter (DAC block) and receiver (FFT and ADC block). Generally, OFDM uses FFT and IFFT for modulation and demodulation. In this paper, 16-point FFT decimation-in-frequency (DIF) with the radix-2 algorithm and direct summation method have been analyzed. ADC and DAC in OFDM are used for conversion of the signal from analog to digital or vice-versa has also been analyzed. All the designs are simulated using Verilog on ModelSim simulator. The result generated from the FFT block after Verilog simulation has also been verified with MATLAB.

일반적으로 UAV를 이용한 항공촬영은 약 430 MHz 대역폭의 radio frequency (RF) 모뎀을 이용하여 UAV와 지상관제시스템간의 연결을 통해 UAV의 통제 및 원격 조종을 한다. 기존의 방법을 이용한 경우 1~2 km 정도의 통신 범위를 가지고 있으며 잦은 혼선이 일어나고, 무선통신은 전파를 매개로 정보를 전달하기 때문에 신호세기를 10 mW로 제한을 두고 있어 장거리 통신을 하는데 제약이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 스마트 카메라의 long-term evolution (LTE), 블루투스, WiFi와 같은 무선 데이터 통신 기술을 이용하여 데이터 송수신이 가능한 통신 모듈 시스템과 카메라를 이용하여 영상 획득이 필요한 지역에서 UAV에 영상을 획득하는 자동촬영 시스템을 설계하고 개발하는데 그 목적은 둔다. 본 연구에서 제안한 안드로이드 기반의 UAV 촬영 및 통신모듈시스템은 스마트 카메라 하나로 영상 획득뿐만 아니라 UAV 시스템과 지상관제 시스템을 연결해주며, UAV 시스템의 GPS와 자이로스코프, 가속도계, 자기 계측 센서 등의 센서로 부터 획득된 3차원 위치정보와 3차원 자세정보를 실시간으로 제공받을 수 있어서 항공삼각측량을 통한 UAV의 위치 및 보정 작업에 실시간으로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

셀룰러 이동통신 시스템의 용량과 커버리지를 향상시키기 위한 많은 연구 결과들이 시스템에 적용되었지만, 셀 경계에서의 심각한 성능 열화는 여전히 단말 전송률의 더 나은 향상을 가로막는 주요한 요인으로 남아있다. 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project)의 LTE-A (Long Term Evolution-Advanced) 표준에서는 협력적 전송 (CoMP, coordinated-multipoint transmission reception)과 ICIC (inter-cell interference coordination)와 같은 진보된 기술들이 셀 경계 성능 열화 문제를 해결하기 위해 소개되었다. 본 논문에서는 다수개의 빔 방향 패턴 (BDP, beam direction pattern)을 활용하여 셀 경계 단말들의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안을 제안한다. 다수개의 빔 방향 패턴은 기지국에 설치된 복수 계층 안테나 어레이를 사용해 구현될 수 있다. 고정된 빔 패턴을 갖는 기존의 3섹터 안테나와 비교해서, 제안하는 방식은 다수개의 BDP들이 시간상에서 회전하면서 신호를 전송하게 된다. 이를 통해 셀 또는 섹터 경계에 위치하는 특정 단말들이 기지국으로부터 전체 전송 시간에 걸쳐 나쁜 성능의 신호를 수신하게 되는 상황을 억제함으로써, 해당 단말들의 수신 신호 품질을 향상시킬 수 있다. 성능 평가 결과는 제안하는 방식이 기존 3섹터 전송 방식에 비해 평균 단말 전송률 측면에서 하위 5% 단말에서 약 171% 향상된 성능을 나타냄을 보여준다.

The Ne-Xe plasmas in dense plasma-focus device with coaxial electrodes were generated for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. The influence of gas mixture ratio, Ne-Xe (1, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50%) mixture gas, on EUV emission measurement, EUV intensity and electron temperature in the coaxially focused plasma were investigated. An input voltage of 4.5 kV was applied to the capacitor bank of 1.53mF and the diode chamber was filled with Ne-Xe mixture gas at a prescribed pressure. The inner surface of the cylindrical cathode was lined by an acetal insulator. The anode was made of tin metal. The EUV emission signal of the wavelength in the range of 6~16 nm has been detected by a photo-detector (AXUV-100 Zr/C, IRD). The visible emission line was also detected by the composite-grating spectrometer of the working wavelength range of 200~1100 nm (HR 4000CG). The electron temperature is obtained by the optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and measured by the Boltzmann plot with the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE).

We report preliminary results of long-slit near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy of Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs) with moderate resolution of R ~ 2400. We obtained Jshort (1.04-1.26 micron) and Ks (2.02-2.31 micron) band spectra of 4 LBVs and 3 LBV candidates in Southern hemisphere using IRIS2, infrared imager and spectrograph, mounted on the 4-m Anglo-Australian Telescope. All targets are fairly bright in NIR so that we can obtain high signal-to-noise ratio for clear line detection and modeling. They are also widely distributed in the HR diagram so that we can compare the spectral properties of LBVs in different temperature and luminosity ranges. Among them, we present the results of two well-known LBVs AG Car and HR Car. Their spectra show similar properties with hydrogen, He I, and metallic lines such as Fe II and Mg II, most of them in emission. We discuss, in particular, the He I 1.083 micron lines formed in stellar wind because these two LBVs show large variation in their He I line intensities, compared to previous studies. Since the He I 1.083 line is known to be anticorrelated with the photometric variation of LBVs, strong line intensities with P-Cygni profiles in both stars indicate that they are now near the visual minimum phase. We model the obtained spectra using non-LTE atmosphere code CMFGEN of Hillier (1998) to derive stellar parameters such as wind velocity and mass loss rate, and discuss the long-term variability of stellar parameters of these LBVs. deduced from our otometric solution.

In this paper, we investigate the fundamental performance limits of the cooperative sensing using energy detection by considering the unlimited number of sensing nodes. Although a lot of cognitive radio research so far proposed various uses of energy detection because of its simplicity, the performance limits of energy detection have not been studied when a large number of sensing nodes exist. First, we show that when the sensing nodes see the independent and identically distributed channel conditions, then as the number of sensing nodes N goes to infinity, the OR rule of hard decision achieves zero of false alarm Pf for any given target probability of detection $\bar{P_d}$ irrespective of the non-zero received primary user signal to noise ratio ${\gamma}$. Second, we show that under the same condition, when the AND rule of hard decision is used, there exists a lower bound of $P_f$. Interestingly, however, for given $\bar{P_d}$, $P_f$ goes to 1 as N goes to infinity. Third, we show that when the soft decision is used, there exists a way of achieving 100% utilization of secondary user, i.e., the sensing time overhead ratio goes to zero so does $P_f$.We verify our analyses by performing extensive simulations of the proposed unlimited cooperative sensing. Finally, we suggest a way of incorporating the unlimited cooperative sensing into a practical cellular system such as long term evolutionadvanced by exploiting the existing frame structure of absolute blank subframe to implement the in-band sensing.

This paper presents a dual-mode bias modulator (BM) for complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) power amplifiers (PAs). The BM includes a hybrid buck converter and a normal buck converter for an envelope tracking (ET) mode for high output power and for an average power tracking (APT) mode for low output power, respectively. The dual-mode BM and CMOS PA are designed using a $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process for the 1.75 GHz band. For the 16-QAM LTE signal with a peak-to-average power ratio of 7.3 dB and a bandwidth of 5 MHz, the PA with the ET mode exhibited a poweradded efficiency (PAE) of 39.2%, an EVM of 4.8%, a gain of 19.0 dB, and an adjacent channel leakage power ratio of -30 dBc at an average output power of 22 dBm, while the stand-alone PA has a PAE of 8% lower at the same condition. The PA with APT mode has a PAE of 21.3%, which is an improvement of 13.4% from that of the stand-alone PA at an output power of 13 dBm.

Power plant is that very high reliability when industrial and economic impact on the overall electric power system is required, it is essential to improve the reliability, especially the fault prediction diagnosis. Since an accident caused by the partial discharge in the power plant is above state has a faster response characteristic than the other indications in the case of any, the partial discharge generated in the power plant immediately detect the deterioration of insulation due to the accident of the power plant and the non-drawn It should prevent or reduce. Partial Discharge Measuring Systems for UHV SF6 Gas Insulated Switchgear and power transformer on site installed has some probability of abnormal recognition in case of non-flexible deal with on site noise. Many methode to eliminate these kinds of noises, UHF Detection System is chosen as purchase description in Korea, but this system having a bandwidth between 500MHz 1.5GHz wide band. Initial install periods(about 20 years ago), this band had no strong signal source, but in these days this wide band have strong signals, such as LTE. So, module described in this paper is designed as simultaneously use with wide and narrow band for solve this noise problem, and introduce this system.
