Direct-sequence ultra-wideband(DS-UWB) system is being considered as one of promising transmission technologies for wireless personal area networks(WPANs). Due to relatively low spreading factors and huge bandwidth of transmit signal, a DS-UWB receiver needs to be equipped not only with a rake receiver but also with an equalizer, of which the equalizer is not required for traditional direct-sequence code division multiple access(DS-CDMA) systems. The number of rake fingers is limited in practice, influencing the performance of the subsequent equalizer. In this paper, we derive a decision feedback equalizer(DFE) for DS-UWB systems based on the minimum mean square error(MMSE) criterion, and investigate the impact of various parameters on the DFE performance in realistic scenarios. In particular, we propose an approach to improving the performance of the DFE using additional channel estimates for multipaths not combined in the rake receiver, and discuss how the accuracy of channel estimation affects desirable DFE configuration. Moreover, we present simulation results that show the impact of turbo equalization on the DFE performance.

A novel and simple method of designing the current feedback loop for the velocity controller of an armature controlled dc servo motor is presented. Instead of constructing the usual tight current feedback loop, a loose current feedback loop is suggested in this paper. More specifically, the armature current is not limited to a fixed constant value, but instead the upper bound value is allowed to be variable along with the present motor speed. The control system designed in this manner shows that the motor under control is robust to a wide range of loading conditions and yields a more rapid transient characteristics which is verified experimentally by applying the method in the design of the controller for an Industrial robot.

이동 통신 시스템에서 이동체의 속도 추정은 수신신호의 최대 도플러 주파수를 찾는 과정이다. 하지만 실제적인 이동 통신 환경에서 이동체의 속도 추정은 부가된 잡음의 영향으로 많은 왜곡을 가지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이동 통신 환경에서 최대 도플러 주파수 추정 시 부가 잡음의 영향을 억제하기 위한 결정 궤환 적응형 대역 제한(Decision Feedback Doppler Adaptive Band-Limit : DF-DABL) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘에서는 잡음의 2차 통계 특성을 대역 제한 방법을 통하여 신호의 특성과 일치하게 함으로서 부가된 잡음의 영향을 효과적으로 제거한다. 특히 제안된 방법에서는 신호대잡음비 (SNR)와 같은 추가 채널 정보를 필요로 하지 않는다.

Ricci et al. (2017, Nature, 549, 488) discovered a lack of high accretion rate, obscured Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the hard X-ray selected Swift/BAT local AGN survey. This was interpreted as radiative pressure driven AGN feedback clearing its immediate vicinity composed of dusty gas (having an effectively low Eddington limit in the order of 0.01-0.1), and governing the level of nuclear obscuration. As we find Eddington-limited accretion and high extinction values among obscured, luminous AGN (quasars) however, it may be that the local X-ray AGN and the distant quasars undergo different feedback mechanisms in clearing their surroundings. In this study, we simply compare the obscuring column density and Eddington ratio values for quasars selected by various methods, including X-ray obscured, optically blue, infrared red/luminous, and submillimeter bright AGN. We find obscured quasars lying on the column density-Eddington ratio diagram previously unoccupied by Ricci et al., suggesting that radiative pressure is insufficient to clear its dusty structure at high luminosity, or that the dust in obscured quasars are more extended than the low luminosity counterparts to become fully transparent. We discuss alternative feedback scenarios that may be more relevant for obscured quasars.

현재 피트니스 트래커(fitness tracker)시장은 유산소 운동에만 초점을 맞춰 근력 운동 분야는 상대적으로 소외되어 있다. 최근 근력 운동 피트니스 트래커가 소수 출시되고 있으나, 운동 상황에 대한 고려가 부족하여 사람-기기 간 인터랙션에 불편함을 초래한다. 특히, 운동 중에는 신체의 움직임이 활발하므로, 손으로 기기를 휴대하거나 기기를 조작하는 상황은 사용자에게 부정적 경험을 유발한다. 웨어러블 디바이스는 항시적인 착용이 가능하므로, 손과 발의 사용이 자유로워 운동 중 피드백 제공에 효과적이다. 따라서, 이 연구에서는 웨어러블 디바이스를 통해 피드백을 감각하게 함으로써, 운동 수행자가 효과적인 운동을 할 수 있도록 하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이 연구에서는 다음 세 가지 연구 문제를 검증하였다. 1) 운동 상황에서 필요한 정보는 무엇인가? 2) 근력 운동 중, 어떤 감각 피드백이 선호되는가? 3) 근력 운동 중, 감각 피드백의 가치는 무엇인가? 그 결과, 첫째, 운동 수행자는 운동 단계 중, '운동 중'에 해당하는 정보가 가장 필요하다고 하였으며 '페이스 조절(횟수 카운팅, 동기 부여)'과 '자세 지도(문제점 진단, 자세 교정)'에 해당하는 정보를 가장 필요로 하였다. 둘째, 운동 중 선호되는 감각 피드백에 대해서는 청각 피드백, 촉각 피드백, 시각 피드백 순으로 만족도가 높았으며, 운동 강도가 높을수록 감각 피드백에 대한 만족도가 더 높았다. 셋째, 감각 피드백과 기기 피드백의 가치에 대해 비교한 결과, 기기 피드백과 사람이 제공하는 피드백에 대한 만족도, 유용성, 효용성이 비슷하게 나타났다. 결론적으로, 이 연구에서는 근력 운동 중, 웨어러블 디바이스를 활용한 감각 피드백의 디자인 가이드라인을 도출하였으며, 웨어러블 디바이스의 감각 피드백이 사람이 제공하는 피드백을 대체할 수 있다는 가능성을 확인하였다.

This paper investigates the outage behavior of peak interference power limited cognitive radio (CR) networks with multiple transmit antennas. In CR-multi-input single-output (MISO) channel, the total transmit power is distributed over the transmitantennas. First, we use the orthogonal space-time codes (STC) to achieve the transmit diversity at CR-receiver (rx) and investigate the effect of the power distribution on the interference power received at the primary-receiver (P-rx). Then, we investigate the transmit antenna selection (TAS) scheme in which the CR system selects the best transmit antenna and allocates all the power to the selected best antenna. Two transmit antenna selection strategies are proposed depending on if feedback channel is available or not. We derive the closed form expressions of outage probability and outage capacity of all schemes with arbitrary number of transmit-antennas. We show that the proposed schemes significantly improve the outage capacity over the single antenna systems in Rayleigh fading environment. We also show that TAS based scheme outperforms the STC based scheme when peak interference power constraint is imposed on the P-rx only if a feedback channel from CR-rx to CR-transmitter is available.

This paper develops and evaluates several strategies for structural vibration control with the objective of attenuating broadband noise inside a rectangular enclosure. The strategies evaluated include model-independent collocated control, model-based feedback control and a new 'modal-estimate' feedback strategy. Collocated control requires no knowledge of model parameters and enjoys the advantage of robustness. However, effective broadband noise attenuation with colocated control requires a large number of sensor-actuator pairs. Model-based con-trollers, on the other hand, can be theoretically effective even with the use of a single actuator. However, they suffer from a lack of robustness and are unsuitable from a practical point of view for broadband structural vibration applications where the dynamic models are of large order and poorly known. A new control strategy is developed based on attenuating a few structural vibration modes that have the best coupling with the enclosure acoustics. Broadband attenuation of these important modes can be achieved using a single actuator, a limited number of accelerometers and limited knowledge of a few modal functions. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed strategy.

전송 빔포밍은 다수의 송수신 안테나 기법에서 다이버시티 이득을 최대로 얻을 수 있는 간단한 방법으로 널리 알려져 있다. 그러나 이와 같은 다이버시티 이득을 얻기 위해서는 송신단과 수신단 모두 채널 상태에 관한 정보를 완벽하게 알고 있어야 하고 이는 피드백이 한정되어 있는 실제 시스템에서 비현실적이다. 이와 같은 이유로 현실적인 시스템에서는 송수신단이 모두 알고 있는 코드북(codebook)에서 수신단 출력에서의 신호 대 잡음비(SNR)가 최댓값을 갖는 전송 빔포밍 벡터를 선택하여 이의 인덱스만 수신단에서 송신단으로 피드백 해주는 코드북을 기반으로 하는 피드백 기법을 사용한다. 본 논문에서 우리는 코드북 기반의 피드백을 사용하는 다중 송신 안테나 시스템 (MISO)에서 피드백 채널에 에러가 존재하였을 경우에 대한 성능을 평균 비트 에러 (BER) 측면에서 수식적으로 분석하였으며, 이 수식을 이용하여 주어진 코드북에 대하여 최적의 빔포밍 벡터 인덱싱 기법을 제안하였다.

This paper presents a feedback-controlled, MEMS-fabricated microaccelerometer (${\mu}$XL). The ${\mu}$XL has received much commercial attraction, but its performance is generally limited. To improve the open-loop performance, a feedback controller is designed and experimentally evaluated. The feedback controller is applied to the x/y-axis ${\mu}$XL fabricated by sacrificial bulk micromachining (SBM) process. Even though the resolution of the closed-loop system is slightly worse than open-loop system, the bandwidth, linearity, and bias stability are significantly improved. The noise equivalent resolution of open-loop system is 0.615 mg and that of closed-loop system is 0.864 mg. The bandwidths of open-loop and closed-loop system are over 100 Hz. The input range, non-linearity and bias stability are improved from ${\pm}$10 g to ${\pm}$18 g, from 11.1 %FSO to 0.86 %FSO, and from 0.221 mg to 0.128 mg by feedback control, respectively
