  • We developed a method of accelerating the operation speed of communication systems for SDR(Software Defined Radio) systems in WiBro environment. In this paper, we propose a new scheme of using GPU(Graphics Processing Unit) for implementing the communication system which perform with the functionality of SDR. In general, communication systems is made by DSP(Digital Signalling Processor) or FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array). However, in this case, there are exist the problem of implementation and debugging caused by each CPU characteristic. The GPU is optimized for vector processing because it usually consists of multiple processors and each processor in GPU is composed of a set of threads. We also developed Framework to use GPU and CPU resources effectively for reducing the operation time. From the various simulation, it is confirmed that GPU system have good performance in WiBro system.

  • Recently, small radar has been reduced in size and power consumption to cope with various operating environments. It also requires the development of a small millimeter wave radar with high range resolution to disable the system of target with a single strike. In this paper, we design and implement a signal processor that can be used in small millimeter wave radar. The signal processor for the small millmeter wave radar is designed with a digital IF(Intermediate Frequency) receiver and DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform) module capable of real time FFT operation for miniaturization and low power consumption. Also it was to leverage the FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) and DAC(Digital Analog Converter) as a means for correcting the distortion of signals that can occur in the receive path of the small millimeter wave radar to create a RF signal that is used by the system. Finally, we verified the signal processor presented through performance test

  • With the development of the mobile industry and growing interest in artificial intelligence (AI) technology, a lot of research for AI processors which applicable to embedded systems is under study. When implementing AI to embedded systems, the design should be considered the restriction of resource and power consumption. Moreover, it is efficient to include a dedicated hardware accelerator in order to complement the low computational performance of the embedded system. In this paper, we propose an stand-alone embedded AI processor. The proposed AI processor includes a hardware accelerator that is dedicated to the distance-based AI algorithm and a general-purpose MCU that supports flexible programmability for application to various embedded systems. The AI processor was designed with Verilog HDL and verified by implementing on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA).

  • In computer graphics since objects atre constructed by lines and curves, the high-speed curve generator is indispensible for computer aided design and simulatation. Since the functions of graphic generation can be represented as a series of matrix operations, in this paper, two kind of the high-speed Bezier curve generator that uses matrix equation and a recursive relation for Bezier polynomials are designed. And B-spline curve generator is designed using interdependence of B-spline blending functions. As the result of the comparison of designed curve generator and reference [5], [6] in the operation time and number of operators, the curve generator with 1-dimensional systolic array processor for matrix vector operation that uses matrix equation for Bezier curve is more effective.

  • In this paper, acquiring the more desirable to adopt design SoC for the fast hierarchical motion estimation, we exploit foreground and background search algorithm (FBSA) base on the dual arithmetic processor element(DAPE). It is possible to estimate the large search area motion displacement using a half of number PE in general operation methods. And the proposed architecture of MHME improve the VLSI design hardware through the proposed FBSA structure with DAPE to remove the local memory. The proposed FBSA which use bit array processing in search area can improve structure as like multiple processor array unit(MPAU).

  • This paper describes the design principles and methods of electronic processor for thermal imager with 320$\times$240 staring array infrared detector. For the detector's nonuniformity correction and excellent image quality, we have designed the multi-point correction method using the defocusing technique of the optics. And to enhance the image of low contrast and improve the detection capability, the new technique of histogram processing has been designed. Through these image processing techniques, we have developed the high quality thermal imager and acquired a satisfactory thermal image. The result of MRTD(Minimum Resolvable Temperature Difference) is $0.1^{\circ}C$ at 4cycles/mard.
