In the conventional direction finding, the antenna is installed at a high position on the ground to detect the position of the target with the environment of the LOS(Line of Sight) as much as the signal receiving environment. However, in order to configure such environment, high cost and installation time were required. In this paper, we use TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival) technique to utilize drones in direction finding, so that four drones can be used for directions finding simulation. Simulations based on drone and TDOA direction finding were constructed using additional signal processing Taylor series and Exact Interactive Algorithm. In the simulation, the receiving power is defined by using the 800MHz path-loss model using the GPS information of the ground direction detection, and the position estimation performance is analyzed when the TDOA technique, the Taylor series, and the Exact Interactive Alogrithm are applied.

An analytical method for identifying terrestrial broadcasting coverages is proposed for a terrestrial broadcasting transmission system adopting a hierarchical modulation technique. Bit Error Rates(BERs) are derived for hierarchically modulated non-uniform QAM constellations based on the Q-function analysis in AWGN environments. The derived BERs depend on the hierarchical modulation factor ${\alpha}$(HMF) and could be mapped to the broadcasting coverages according to the link budget analysis based on the log-distance path loss model. Finally the broadcasting coverage ratios for high priority(HP) streams and low priority(LP) streams are calculated and presented for the determination of the HMF.

In indoor environment, the combination of the two variations, large scale(path loss) and small scale(fading), leads to non-linear variation of RSSI(received signal strength indicator) values as distance varied. This has been one of the difficulties for indoor location estimation. This paper presents new findings on indoor RSSI characterization for more accurate model building. Experiments have been done statistically to find overall trend of RSSI values at different places and times within the same room. From experiments, it has been shown that the variation of RSSI values can be determined by both spatial and temporal factors. These two factors are directly indicated by the two main parameters of path loss model. The results show that all sensor nodes which are located at different places share the same characterization value for the temporal parameter whereas different values for the spatial parameters. The temporal parameter also has a large scale variation effect that is slowly time varying due to environmental changes. Using this relationship, the characterization for location estimation can be more efficient and accurate.

This paper presents the shape optimization of a permanent magnet synchronous motor to reduce the torque ripple and iron loss. Specifically, the harmonics of the electromotive force and cogging torque are decreased by adjusting the permanent magnet arrangement and non-uniform air gap length. In addition, an additional flux path along the q-axis is proposed with a unique rotor shape to increase the q-axis inductance and reluctance torque. The improvement in the performance of the proposed model is verified with simulated and experimental results.

In geostationary satellite communications, which are widely used for broadcasting and communication, there is a path loss where the signal power on the path is largely reduced. It is important to consider rain attenuation when calculating link budget because the Ka band frequency is vulnerable to rain attenuation. In this study, rainfall trends were analyzed by using rainfall data from the year 2000 in four regions of Korea (Seoul, Incheon, Busan, Jeju) and the rainfall attenuation was calculated. This was used to analyse the satellite link budget and receiving performance for the down-link of the korea satellite COMS. In this study, the calculated G/T for the rainfall intensity of 0.5% per year using the rainfall data for 18 years increased by approximately $8.5dBK^{-1}$ compared to the ITU's zone-K rain model, and decreased by approximately $1dBK^{-1}$ compared to the precipitation data for 13 years from the TTA(Korea Telecommunications Technology Association). The results of this study can be used for the design of G/T in domestic-installed satellite ground station.

To investigate the supercavity geometry and gas flow structure for the supercavities with two closure types under the different flow conditions, an inhomogeneous multiphase model with the SST turbulence model was established, and validated by experimental results. The results show that two distinct regions exist inside the supercavity, which include the downstream flow region along the gas-water interface and the reverse flow region. For the twin-vortex supercavity, the internal gas leaks from the supercavity boundary by two paths: the supercavity surface and the two-vortex tubes. Increasing Froude number leads to more internal gas stripped from the supercavity surface. Two types of gas loss exist for the re-entrant jet supercavity with high Froude number, one type is the steady process of gas loss, and the major gas-leaking path is the supercavity surface rather than supercavity closure region. The other type is the unsteady periodic ejection, and the gas cluster of periodic ejection is merely a small part of the gas stored inside the supercavity.

In this paper, Integrated circuit(IC) electromagnetic(EM) conducted immunity measurement and simulation using bulk current injection(BCI) and direct power injection(DPI) methods were conducted for 1.8 V I/O buffers. Using the equivalent circuit models developed for IC electromagnetic conducted immunity tests, we investigated the reliability of the frequency region where IC electromagnetic conducted immunity test is performed. The insertion loss for the noise injection path obtained from the simulation indicates that using only one conducted immunity test method cannot provide reliable conducted immunity test for broadband noise. Based on the forward power results, we analyzed the actual amount of EM noise injected to IC. We propose a more reliable immunity test methods for broad band noise.

There have been many studies to build a model that can help investors construct optimal portfolio. Most of the previous models, however, are based upon the path-breaking Markowitz model (1959) which is a quantitative model. One of the most important problems with that kind of quantitative model is that, in reality, most of the investors use not only quantitative, but also qualitative information when they select their optimal portfolio. Since collecting both types of information from the markets are time consuming and expensive, making a set of target assets smaller, without suffering heavy loss in the rate of return, would attract investors. To extract only desired assets among all available assets, we need knowledge that identifies investors' preference for the risk of the assets. This study suggests two-layer decision-making rules capable of identifying an investor's risk preference and an architecture applying them to a quantitative portfolio model based on risk and expected return. Our knowledge-based portfolio system is to build an investor's preference-oriented portfolio. The empirical tests using the data from Korean capital markets show the results that our model contributes significantly to the construction of a better portfolio in the perspective of an investor's benefit/cost ratio than that produced by the existing portfolio models.

We present a simulation model to generate the spatial distribution of mobiles in cellular communication network. Three types of spatial distributions are considered; biased, random, and ratio-based distributions. This study also points out and corrects the critical errors performed by Das and Morgera(1997) in getting random location of mobiles. By applying a simple path loss model, the effects of our correction on the signal-to-interference(SIR) ratio are discussed. The numerical results indicate that the variation of SIR in the Das's biased distribution is larger than that of other distributions. As compared with the random distribution, the average SIR error of the biased distribution is 91.1%.

Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) error is the most common and also a major source of errors in wireless location system. A novel weighting factor (NWF) method is presented in this paper, based on the RSS(Received Signal Strength) measurements, path loss model and Circular Disk of Scatterers Model (CDSM). The proposed positioning method effectively weighted the TOA distance measurements for each Base Station (BS). Simulation results show that the proposed method efficiently weighted the distance measurements and achieve higher localization accuracy than that of Linear Line of Position (LLOP) and Believable Factor Algorithm (BFA).
