In this paper, we analyzed the error rate performance of convolution coded 16 QAM signal in impulsive noise Environments. We used convolution code and selective combining diversity for performance improvement. We analyzed the error rate performance of 16 QAM signal in impulsive noise environments compared with gaussian noise environments. As a result of analysis, there is a BER segment where the efficiency of system does not improve until which limit to raise a signal power potential from impulsive noise environment. when the signal power potential which goes over this limit is supplied, BER efficiency improve much more.

Meta-analysis is used in variety of areas to synthesize the results of previous studies. Among the methods for Meta-analysis, combining p-values is the simplest method; in addition Tippett (1931), Fisher (1932), Stuoffer at al. (1949), proposed various methods to combine p-values. We propose a new method to combine p-values based on exponential distribution. A Monte Carlo simulation study compares the power of the proposed methods with previous methods.

Cooperative transmission is an effective solution to improve the performance of wireless communications over fading channels without the need for physical co-located antenna arrays. In this paper, selection combining is used at the destination instead of maximal ratio combing to optimize the structure of destination and to reduce power consumption in selective decode-and-forward relaying networks. For an arbitrary number of relays, an exact and closed-form expression of the bit error rate (BER) is derived for M-PAM, M-QAM, and M-PSK, respectively, in both independent identically distributed and independent but not identically distributed Rayleigh fading channels. A variety of simulations are performed and show that they match exactly with analytic ones. In addition, our results show that the optimum number of relays depend not only on channel conditions (operating SNRs) but also on modulation schemes which to be used.

In this paper, waveguide-based power combiner using conventional slotline-to-microstrip transition was proposed at Ka-band. The proposed 2-way and 4-way power combiner consist of waveguide-to-slotline transition, two or four slotline-to-microstrip transitions, and impedance matching networks. Their structures were simulated and optimized by 3-D FEM simulation. The 2-way power combiner showed a very low back-to-back insertion loss of 1.0 dB and return loss better than 15 dB from 25.7 GHz to 29.8 GHz except the resonant frequency. The 2-way power combining approach was extended to 4-way power combining using slotline tee junction. The 4-way power combiner showed the similar performance to that of 2-way power combiner with 2 GHz smaller bandwidth.

In this paper, an energy harvesting scheme is applied in the cooperative communication. The proposed scheme uses an energy harvesting relay in which the relay harvests the energy from the source node and transfers to the power form in forwarding the received data to the destination node. The well-known maximal ratio combining (MRC) technique is applied to increase the diversity gain at the destination. Therefore, with applying the proposed energy harvesting scheme, the limited power at the relay is solved, and the operation efficiency of the network and the mobile devices is improved. Finally, performance of the proposed protocol is analyzed in terms of bit error rate, outage probability, power collection efficiency.

This report proposes a waveguide spatial combiner with high power low loss. The proposed spatial combiner implements high power by combining from the center of each port through a waveguide. In particular, we implement low loss using TE01 mode, which has the lowest transmission track loss among modes of circular waveguide, and miniaturization is achieved by applying a new mode conversion method. IIn addition, it was confirmed that it was suitable for high output by calculating the insulation breakdown voltage of the new mode conversion structure through E-field analysis. The final 8-way waveguide spatial combiner was designed and manufactured, and the insertion loss was less than 0.4dB and the combining efficiency was 97% or more, confirming that the electrical performance was very good compared to the planar combining method.

This paper presents the sliding mode observer-model following(SMO-MF) power system stabilizer(PSS) for unmeasurable plant state variables. This SMO-MF PSS can be obtained by combining the sliding mode-model following(SM-MF) including closed-loop feedback(CLF) with the linear foil-order observer(LFOO).

A method to estimate the relative sensitivity of a self-powered rhodium detector for an upcoming cycle is developed by combining the rhodium depletion data from a nuclear design with the site measurement data. This method can be used both by nuclear power plant designers and by site staffs of Korean standard nuclear power plants for determining which rhodium detectors should be replaced during overhauls.

In thin-film transistor liquid-crystal displays (TFT-LCDs), which are most commonly used in mobile devices, the backlight accounts for about 70% of the power consumption. Therefore, most low-power-related studies focus on realizing power savings through backlight dimming. Image compensation is performed to mitigate the visual distortion caused by the backlight dimming. Therefore, popular techniques include pixel compensation for brightness recovery and contrast enhancement, such as histogram equalization. However, existing pixel compensation techniques often have limitations with respect to blur owing to the pixel saturation phenomenon, or because contrast enhancement cannot adequately satisfy the human visual system (HVS). To overcome these, in this study, we propose a novel dimming technique to achieve both power saving and HVS-awareness by combining the pixel compensation and histogram specifications, which convert the original cumulative density function (CDF) by designing and using the desired CDF of an image. Because the process of obtaining the desired CDF is customized to consider image characteristics, histogram specification is found to achieve better HVS-awareness than histogram equalization. For the experiments, we employ the LIVE image database, and we use the structural similarity (SSIM) index to measure the degree of visual satisfaction. The experimental results show that the proposed technique achieves up to 15.9% increase in the SSIM index compared with existing dimming techniques that use pixel compensation and histogram equalization in the case of the same low-power ratio. Further, the results indicate that it achieves improved HVS-awareness and increased power saving concurrently compared with previous techniques.
