This paper presents a low voltage operating IF QPSK receiver block which is consisted of programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and analog to digital converter. This PGA has 6 bit control and 250MHz bandwidth, $0{\sim}20\;dB$ gain range. Using the proposed PGA architecture (low distortion gain control switch block), we can process the continuous fully differential $0.2{\sim}2.5Vpp$ input/output range and 44MHz carrier with 2 MHz bandwidth signal at 1.8V supply voltage. Using the sub-sampling technique (input freq. is $44{\sim}46MHz$, sampling freq. is 25MHz), we can process the IF QPSK signal ($44{\sim}46MHz$) which is the output of the 6 bit PGA. We can get the SNDR 35dB, which is the result of PGA and ADC at full gain mode. We fabricated the PGA and ADC and the digital signal processing block of the IF QPSK with the 0.18um CMOS MIM process 1.8V Supply.

Due to the rapid growth of the amount of data, research on bigdata processing has been highlighted. For bigdata processing, CUBRID Shard is able to support query processing in parallel way by dividing the database into a number of CUBRID servers. However, CUBRID Shard can answer a user's query only when the query is required to gain accesses to a single CUBRID server, instead of multiple ones. To solve the problem, in this paper we propose a CUBRID based distributed parallel query processing system that can answer a user's query in parallel and distributed manner. Finally, through the performance evaluation, we show that our proposed system provides 2-3 times better performance on query processing time than the existing CUBRID Shard.

In this paper, we study an optimum design of search synchronization structure for Baseband Modem to support ISO/IEC 18185-5 and 24730-2 Standard. For DSSS Modem, we design the code acquisition and tracking structure which are important in receiver operation, and examine the parameters to be considered. The data and PN chip transmission rates and processing gain of the proposed modem are 59.7 kbps, 30.521875 Mcps, and 27 dB, respectively. This indicates that the noise immunity of the proposed modem is 17dB better than IEEE 802.11b (Processing gain : 10dB). Therefore, we design the optimum structure for the modem search synchronization which is compatible to the proposed modem standard.

Analog-digital converter (ADC) should be one of the most important blocks that convert various physical signals to digital ones for signal processing in the digital signal domain. As most operations of the analog circuit for sensor signal processing have been replaced by digital circuits, high-resolution performance is required for ADC. In addition, low-power must be the critical issue in order to extend the battery time of mobile system. The existing integrating sigma-delta ADCs has a characteristic of high resolution, but due to its low supply voltage condition and advanced technology, circuit error and corresponding resolution degradation of ADC result from the finite gain of the operational amplifier in the integrator. Buffer compensation technique can be applied to minimize gain errors, but there is a disadvantage of additional power dissipation due to the added buffer. In this paper, incremental signal-delta ADC is proposed with buffer switching scheme to minimize current and igh-pass bias circuit to improve the settling time.

The LMS(Least Mean Square) algorithm, one of the most famous, is generally used because of tenacity and high mating spots and simplicity of realization, But it has trade-off between nonuniform collection and EMSE(Excess mean square error). To overcome this weakness, a variable step size is used widely, but it needs a lot of calculation loads. In this paper, we suggest changed algorithm in case of environment changes of cars and reduce amount of calculation as it uses original signal and noise signal of IGC(Instantaneous Gain Control) algorithm. In this paper, logarithmic function is removed because of real-time processing IGC. The performance of proposed algorithm is tested to adaptive noise canceller in automobile.

An ownship with towed array sonar (TAS) has limited maneuvers due to its dynamic feature, bearing and frequency measurements of a target which are not detected continuously but are often lost in ocean environment. We propose a pre-processing algorithm for the faded bearing and frequency measurements to solve the BFTMA problem of TAS under limited detection conditions. The proposed pre-processing algorithm to restore the faded bearing and frequency measurements is implemented to perform a BFTMA filter even if the measurements of a target are not continuously detected. The Modified Gain Extended Kalman Filter (MGEKF) method based on the Interacting Multiple Model (IMM) structure is applied for a BFTMA filter algorithm to estimate the target. Simulations for the various conditions were carried out to verify the applicability of the proposed algorithms, and confirmed superior estimation performance compared with the existing Bearings-Only TMA (BOTMA).

An improvement of standard encoder has been saturated recently. However, new coding method does not have a compatibility with conventional standard. To solve this problem, new concept coding method that has a semicompatibility with standard may be discussed. On the other hand, cyclic Intra-picture coding is used for access and refreshment. However, I-picture spend large amount of bits. An enhancement of I-picture is desired with keeping its refreshment performance. Further, it's a problem that quality change at the border of GOP because of its independency. To respond these, we propose the coding which is applied an inter-frame processing at the border of GOP. Applied method is the reduction of quantization error using the motion compensated inter-picture processing. In this report, we check the improvement of the efficiency and the compatibility of proposed method. As a result of examination, we recognize that the total gain is maximally 1.2dB in PSNR. Generally, the degradation of performance in standard decoding is smaller than its gain. Also the refreshment performance is tested.

This experiment was carried out with 12 Korean native heifers(8~12month old, body weight, 160~240kg) raised at a farm of Chang-Soo Livestock Cooperatives to evaluate the effects of rGH(recombinant growth hormone) on serum concentrations of growth hormone, estrogen, and IGF-I, weight gain, teat volume gain and processing enzyme activity of IGF-I, binding protein III at 28 day intervals. Animals used were injected with 250mg rGH at 14 day intervals from December to Ferbruary in 1994. The significant difference was found in the group of treatment on the 4th week in the endogenous GH(p<.01) and 8th week in estrogen and IGF-I(p<.05) after injectin of rGH in Korean native heifers. There were significant differences between control group and treatment group in weight and teat volume on 8th week after treatment(p<.05). Processing enzyme activity before injection of rGH were low. However, heifers injected with 250mg of rGH showed that processing enzyme activity of IGF binding protein was highly increased throughout the experiment. Present results suggest that injection of exogenous rGH to heifers can increase the growth performance and udder development of Korean native heifers by the endogenous hormonal changes.

This paper proposes method that uses Time-Difference-of-Arrival(TDOA) of Forward Pilot signals from base stations(BS) arriving at a mobile station(MS) as a position location method of CDMA MS. MS searcher does acquisition of BS Pilot signals and measurement of TDOAs. In order to do it, its processing gain is very important. Proportional relationship of the gain to the signal coherent integration interval is theoretically derived and analyzed and field test is performed to show acquisition of weak Pilot signals and stable measurements of TDOA values by increasing the gain. Also, signal strength decrease exponentially by the distance it travels. Therefore, improvement of the searcher gain makes possible to acquire Pilot signals at a location far away from BS. Variation of possible position estimation area relative to the signal strength within a cell is simulated with computer. Neglecting shadow effect it indicated necessity of detecting signals below -35dB in order to cover over 90% of cell area. Thus, efforts to maximize searcher coherent integration interval in order to acquire weak Pilot signals are required for expansion of position estimation area and measurement of stable TDOA values.

To get the empirical data of GPR detection and to develop the image prosessing program of GPR detection data, GPR detection were proceed by the underground pipes and cavities buried in the Chamber. In the case of non pavement and asphalt pavement, water filled cavity that was buried in 0.7m depth was able to detection. But in the case of 1.0 m and 1.3 m buring depth, water filled cavity was not able to detection. In the case of non-reinforced and reinforced concrete pavement, it was difficult to detect the cavity caused by signal interference. GPRiPP programs was developed for image processing of the GPR detection data. The major processing algorithm were background removal, stacking and gain function. With proper image processing of gain function and background removal in GPRiPP program, it was showed that similar results can be obtained with conventional image processing program.
