Conventional TSPC D flip-flop has the advantages of high speed, simple clock distribution, and no racing because of the single phase clocking strategy and its simple structure. But, it suffers from glitch, clock slope sensitivity and unbalanced propagation delay problems. Therefore, a new dynamic D flip-flop, which improves these disadvantages, is proposed. The main idea of this paper is DS(Discharge Suppression) scheme, which suppresses unnecessary discharge. As a result, the proposed structure is free from glitch problem and it improves maximum clock slope immunity from 0.25ns to Ins. Also, it uses only 8 transistors and it Is demonstrated that high speed operation is feasible by balancing propagation delay time.

It is important to know how well observation errors are removed in the calibration process prior to ensuing scientific research. In mm-VLBI observations, a radio wave suffers from an atmospheric propagation delay due to the rapid change of atmospheric refraction. It makes phases of VLBI correlation output fluctuate rapidly, which essentially decreases the coherence of phases and reduces the integration time. Consequently, it is challenging to achieve a high signal-to-noise ratio and enhance the quality of scientific output. Among the causes of the atmospheric propagation delay, water vapor in the troposphere is the most decisive factor to affect phase errors in the high frequency range (> 10GHz). It is expected to have the non-dispersive characteristic that enables to introduce new calibration strategy, Frequency Phase Transfer (FPT). This new method utilizes low frequency phases to compensate phase errors in high frequency bands. In addition, Korean VLBI Network (KVN) which benefits from the simultaneous 4-channels (22/43/86/129 GHz) observations is ideal to probe FPT performance. In order to evaluate FPT performance of KVN, we present the results of FPT phase analysis and discuss its performance.

In this paper, a full - wave rectifying harvesting circuit with a high-performance comparator is designed. Designed circuits are divided into Negative Voltage Converter and Active Diode stages. The comparator included in the active diode stage is implemented as a 3-stage type and divided into pre-amplification, decision circuit, and output buffer stages. The main purpose of this comparator is to reduce the propagation delay and improve the voltage and power efficiency of the harvesting circuit. The proposed circuit is designed with magna $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS process and its operation is verified by simulation. The chip area of the designed energy harvesting circuit is $900{\mu}m{\times}712{\mu}m$.

Propagation characteristics in line-of-sight(LOS) paths in 3, 6, 10, and 17 GHz frequency bands were measured and analyzed in two different indoor corridors: second floors of Buildings D2 and E2. The measurement was designed to measure when the receiving antenna moved at 0.5 m intervals from 3 m to 30 m, while the transmission antenna was fixed. The analysis of the two indoor corridors was compared by applying basic transmission loss, root mean square (RMS) delay spread, and K-factor. For basic transmission loss, the loss coefficient of the floating intercept path loss model was higher in the indoor corridor of Building E2 than in that of Building D2. Similarly, the RMS delay spread in the time domain was greater in the indoor corridor of Building E2. However, the indoor corridor of Building D2 exhibited higher K-factor in the 3, 6, and 17 GHz bands with lower wave propagation in the 10 GHz band. Despite the 2 indoor corridors being identical, the propagation characteristics varied due to different internal structures and materials. The results provide measurement data for ITU-R Recommendations regarding various indoor environments.

The LORAN system had been used widely and it was an essential navigation aid for ships in the ocean until the GPS is adopted actively. In particular, it was essential functionality for the ships to sail the oceans. According to the advancement of industry, however, the current accuracy of traditional Loran is insufficient for the utilization of harbour approach, land navigation, and the field of survey and timing. Therefore it is necessary that the study on the improvement of the positioning accuracy of Loran. The one of the improving methods is to measure and compensate the propagation time delay between the transmitter and user's receiver, which is called as additional secondary factor (ASF). In this study, we measured the ASF between the Pohang master transmitting station (9930M) and four points where locate within 33 km apart from the transmitting station, using the measuring technique of the absolute time delay without a time of coincidence (TOC) table. As the result of measurement, the ranging error caused by the propagation delay was about 210 m at 33 km, however it can be reduced up to 40 m with ASF compensation.

Underwater sensor networks (UWSNs) employ acoustic channels for communications. One of the main characteristics of the underwater acoustic channel is long propagation delay. Previously proposed MAC (medium access control) protocols for wireless sensor networks cannot be directly used in UWSNs due to the long propagation delay. The long propagation delay and uneven nodes deployments cause spatial fairness in UWSNs. Therefore, a new MAC protocol for UWSNs needs to be developed to provide efficient communications. In this paper, we propose an efficient MAC protocol in order to alleviate the fairness problem. In the proposed scheme, when a node receives a RTS packet, it does not immediately send back but delays a CTS packet. The node collects several RTS packets from source nodes during the delay time. It chooses one of the RTS packets based on the queue status information. And then, it sends a CTS packet to the source node which sent the chosen RTS packet. The performance of the proposed scheme is investigated via simulation. Simulation results show that our scheme is effective and alleviates the fairness problem.

Data Replication makes distributed system and database system improved in availability and performance. But it is difficult to keep strict consistency in data update. Existing algorithms keep strict consistency, but have problems of cost a great deal and delay time. It is to introduce hybrid update propagation algorithm which permits eager update for original copy and propagates lazy update for other copies. Hybrid update propagation algorithm also permits group update in ownership. This algorithm menages replica version in order to control group update consistency. Consistency and performance is improved by combining eager update and lazy update with group ownership. Simulation shows improvement of transaction throughput and response time depending on application and execution environment.

Multi-channel DAQ system was developed to predict propagation characteristic of the shock wave generated by linear explosive. The system can generate shock wave from 1000 points per second using a pulsed laser and simultaneously obtain the shock wave signals using 15 chanel contact sensor. The system is expected to pridict the propagation characteristics of various linear explosive-induced pyroshock because it can be used with a user-defined time delay that corresponds to detonation speed of the linear explosive.

In this paper, the models and characteristics of multipath propagation in an urban environment are described. Three propagation models(a random model, a ray model and a method of estimating time delay is proposed based on the envelope correlation between two radio frequencies. It is shown on the basis of laboratory simulation and field tests that the simple two-ray model is an adequate model for the fundamental study of the multipath propagation characteristic of the mobile radiowave and the estimating time delays of multipath-propagated waves in an urban area.
