It is necessary to devise the method for increasing bandwidth efficiency in order to provide the high speed mobile multi-media communication services with CDMA under the limited radio bandwidth resources. In this paper the structure for transmitting the high speed data at the half bandwidth of the required bandwidth using the symmetry property of the IFFT output of the binary input MC-CDMA, which enables the time scaling method utilized, is proposed. The processing gain is increased 4 times than the DS-CDMA and its performance is evaluated as better than DS-CDMA with rake receivers under the Rayleigh fading channel and same bandwidth per one channel.

TOA(time-of-arrival) and TDOA(time-difference-of-arrival) positioning techniques are commonly used in many radio-navigation systems. From the literature, it is known that the position estimate and error covariance matrix of TDOA obtained by GN(Gauss-Newton) method is exactly the same as that of TOA when the error source of the range measurement is only an IID white Gaussian noise. In case of geo-location and indoor positioning, however, multi-path or NLOS(non-line-of-sight) error is frequently appeared in range measurements. Though its occurrence is random, the multipath acts like a bias for a stationary user if it occurs. This paper presents the comparisons of error characteristics between TOA and TDOA positioning in presence of multi-path or NLOS error. It is analytically shown that the position estimate of TDOA is exactly the same as that of TOA even when bias errors are included in range measurements with different magnitudes. By computer simulation, position estimation error and error distribution are analyzed in presence of range bias errors.

In molds management systems using radio frequency identification (RFID), in the case where the RFID tag is lost, the RFID technology cannot be utilized to identify the location of the logistics. In order to solve this problem, a multi-sensor-based mold management system using RFID and infrared sensors is proposed in this paper. The proposed system uses RFID to identify the location of the mold and, by installing infrared sensors on the mold racks, the manager can identify the presence and location of the mold by reaffirming whether the mold exists in that location or not.

Manufacturing of printed electronics using printing technology has begun to get into the hot issue in many ways due to the low cost effectiveness to existing semi-conductor process. This technology with both low cost and high productivity, can be applied in the production of organic thin film transistor (OTFT), solar cell, radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, printed battery, E-paper, touch screen panel, black matrix for liquid crystal display (LCD), flexible display, and so forth. The emerging technology to manufacture the products in mass production is roll-to-roll printing technology which is a manufacturing method by printings of multi-layered patterns composed of semi-conductive, dielectric and conductive layers. In contrary to the conventional printing machines in which printing precision is about $50~100{\mu}m$, the printing machines for printed electronics should have a precision under $30{\mu}m$. In general, in order to implement printed electronics, narrow width and gap printing, register of multi-layer printing by several printing units, and printing accuracy of under $30{\mu}m$ are all required. We developed the roll-to-roll printing equipment used for printed electronics, which is composed of un-winder, re-winder, tension measurement system, feeding units, dancer systems, guide unit, printing unit, vision system, dryer units, and various auxiliary devices. The equipment is designed based on cantilever type in which all rollers except printing ones have cantilever types, which could give more accurate machine precision as well as convenience for changing rollers and observing the process.

The mobile radio networks can be divided into networks that has the base station or the infrastructures like AP(Access Point) and Ad Hoc network that hasn't any infrastructures. As there aren't any fixed infrastructures in Ad Hoc Networks, mobile nodes should transmit the data oかy among mobile nodes themselves. To supplement these weakpoints of the two networks, many studies about Ad Hon based on the 802.11 are in progress. In this thesis, we try to propose the efficiency of the suggested protocols by comparing and analyzing power saving protocols according to the Beacon intervals in multi hop Ad Hoc Networks based on IEEE 802.11.

A new modulation scheme called multicoded-pulse position modulation (MC-PPM) is proposed for an ultrawideband (UWB) impulse radio communication system. The multicoded signal is generated by using several orthogonal codes for transmitting data simultaneously. Then, each multi-level value of the multicoded signal is converted to pulse position which results in not only an improved data rate, but also a processing gain in reception, delivering the power-efficient benefit of PPM and guaranteeing the low pulse energy for UWB systems. We notice that the modulation of multi-level values of the multicoded signal to pulse position is more efficient in terms of achievable data rate than the modulation of transmitting data based on other PPM schemes within given bandwidth and pulse energy. Therefore, as a performance measure, we focus on the achievable data rate (link capacity) of the proposed scheme and analyze it theoretically. Through simulation, we compare the link capacity of the MC-PPM scheme and other PPM schemes, such as M -ary PPM and multiple PPM. With the fixed bandwidth and same pulse energy condition, the UWB system based on the proposed MC-PPM scheme shows good link capacity and an increased data rate as L increases, which is contrary to other PPM schemes.

The next-generation mobile communication system are required to provide high-data-rate and high quality transmission over hostile radio channels. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM) technique regarded as a most promising solution in mobile environment. This paper considers the issue of efficient subcarrier allocation for OFDM system in multi-service application. Proposed algorithm can consider channel gain of each service and divide subchannel. Proposed method considers priority of service and divide more subchannels in high priority service. When proposed algorithm compares with existent algorithm, the convergence rate improves and the calculation amount is decreased.

In this thesis a wireless data transmission system has been proposed and analysed that uses the multi-carrier technique with the adaptive modulation scheme. In general, the OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system is assigning a same amount of information to all sub-carriers in a wireless data transmission. In the proposed system, the different amount of information is assigned to each sub-carrier depending on the state of channel and the target probability of error of system. With the proposed scheme, the transmission rate can be maximized with the fixed power and the required power to transmit the information can be minimized with the target probability of error of system.

We propose a novel eye tracking method that can estimate 3D world coordinates using an infrared (IR) stereo camera for indoor and outdoor environments. This method first detects dark evidences such as eyes, eyebrows and mouths by fast multi-level thresholding. Among these evidences, eye pair evidences are detected by evidential reasoning and geometrical rules. For robust accuracy, two classifiers based on multiple layer perceptron (MLP) using gradient local binary patterns (GLBPs) verify whether the detected evidences are real eye pairs or not. Finally, the 3D world coordinates of detected eyes are calculated by region-based stereo matching. Compared with other eye detection methods, the proposed method can detect the eyes of people wearing sunglasses due to the use of the IR spectrum. Especially, when people are in dark environments such as driving at nighttime, driving in an indoor carpark, or passing through a tunnel, human eyes can be robustly detected because we use active IR illuminators. In the experimental results, it is shown that the proposed method can detect eye pairs with high performance in real-time under variable illumination conditions. Therefore, the proposed method can contribute to human-computer interactions (HCIs) and intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) applications such as gaze tracking, windshield head-up display and drowsiness detection.

This paper presents a reflection coating design scheme in the thin-film silicon solar cell. The antireflection(high reflection) coating skill is needed in the front(back) panel of the thin-film solar cell to improve an efficiency of light absorbing. In the single structure a reflectivity is changed according to the thickness of coating for antireflection scheme and its minimum value can be obtained by controlling thickness of coating. In the symmetric multi layer structure low reflectivity can be obtained in the wide wavelength range. And we also find that high reflectivity can be obtained through multi layer structure, which has alternate layers of high and low material, for high reflection scheme in the back panel.
