최근 테라헤르츠 대역의 주파수를 이용하여 데이터 전송속도 10Gbps 이상의 초고속 통신 시스템에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 테라헤르츠 대역의 주파수 범위는 100GHz~10THz로서 종래의 밀리미터파 대역에서 사용하고 있는 대역폭에 비하여 월등히 넓은 주파수 대역폭을 제공하여 주기 때문에 미래의 초고속 통신시스템 응용에 무한한 잠재적 가치를 가지고 있다. 테라헤르츠 전파는 전자파와 광파의 특성을 모두 가지고 있어 공간으로 전파하며 광의 특성에 따라 광학 렌즈를 이용하여 방사 빔을 집속할 수 있다. 또한 테라헤르츠파는 전파 감쇠가 대단히 커서 현재의 기술수준을 고려해 볼 때 10m 정도의 단거리 통신에 적합하다. 미국, 유럽, 일본 등 테라헤르츠 선도국에서는 핵심 부품 및 MMIC 등의 연구 개발에 많은 투자를 하고 있다. 본 고에서는 테라헤르츠 통신을 위한 집적화 RF 송수신기 기술개발 동향에 대하여 소개하고자 한다.

Principal component analysis (PCA) is a well-known method for dimension reduction while maintaining most of the variation in data. Although PCA has been applied to many areas successfully, it is sensitive to outliers. Several variants of PCA have been proposed to resolve the problem and, among the variants, robust fuzzy PCA (RF-PCA) demonstrated promising results. RF-PCA uses fuzzy memberships to reduce the noise sensitivity. However, there are also problems in RF-PCA and the convergence property is one of them. RF-PCA uses two different objective functions to update memberships and principal components, which is the main reason of the lack of convergence property. The difference between two functions also slows the convergence and deteriorates the solutions of RF-PCA. In this paper, a variant of RF-PCA, called RF-PCA2, is proposed. RF-PCA2 uses an integrated objective function both for memberships and principal components. By using alternating optimization, RF-PCA2 is guaranteed to converge on a local optimum. Furthermore, RF-PCA2 converges faster than RF-PCA and the solutions found are more similar to the desired solutions than those of RF-PCA. Experimental results also support this.

Wireless sensor network (WSN) technology provides a variety of medical and healthcare solutions to assist detection and communication of body conditions. However, data reliability inside WSN might be influenced to healthcare routing protocol due to limited hardware resources of computer, storage, and communication bandwidth. For this reason, we have conducted various wireless communication experiments between nodes using parameters such as RF strength, battery status, and deployment status to get a optimal performance of mobile healthcare routing protocol. This experiment may also extend the life time of the nodes. Performance analysis is done to obtain some important parameters in terms of distance and reception rate between the nodes. Our experiment results show optimal distance between nodes according to battery status and RF strength, or deployment status and RF strength. The packet reception rate according to deployment status and RF strength of nodes was also checked. Based on this performance evaluation, the optimized sensor node battery and deployment in the developed our mobile healthcare routing protocol were proposed.

ESPAR(Electronically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiator) antenna is the technique for overcoming the problems of space limitation and energy efficiency due to the multiple RF-chain. Conventional MIMO system with multiple antenna requires a large number of RF-chain for transmitting the multiple data because it transmits the data in proportion to the number of antenna. Beamspace MIMO system using the ESPAR antenna which has single RF-chain was proposed for solving the problems caused by using the multiple antenna and RF-chain. In this paper, therefore we propose 2x2 beamspace MIMO system using the 16, 64-QAM modulation and evaluate the performance of this system to reveal that it is possible that beamspace MIMO system can use not only PSK modulation but also QAM modulation. We confirm that QAM symbol can be generated by adjusting reactance of parasitic elements and making reactance set and also we confirm that performance of beamspace MIMO system is similar to the conventional MIMO system by transmitting the QAM symbol made by reactance set through the simulation.

ITS(Intelligent Transportation System) implementing information collection services and information support services for cars of moving fast needs a communication system of special aim such as RF-DSRC(Radio Frequency Dedicated Short Range Communication). Before RSE(Road Side Equipment) and OBE(On-Board Equipment) will be able to communicate RF-DSRC, OBE first have to request Link Initialization Access using ACTC(Activation Channel) in allocated ACTS(Activation Slot) by Slotted ALOHA. Even though Link Initialization Access is a important element to decide performance of communication system, optimal mathematic modeling study of Link Initialization Access which is adapted RF-DSRC characteristics is not enoush. So, in this paper, we propose mathematical modeling about Link Initialization Access of RF-DSRC. And then we computed Link Initialization Access probability defining offer load(G) which is adapted RF-DSRC characteristics for analyzing performance of modeling.

In this paper, we proposed and implemented the method to efficiently generate TDD synchronization signal and the digital circuit for the RF repeater which can eliminate the shadow region in the wireless communication field using the time division duplex (TDD) method. After detecting the TDD signal from the transmitted or received RF signal, the detected TDD signal is fed to the RF repeater for the normal operation. The proposed technique detects the envelop of the downlink signal and amplifies the detected envelop, and then restores the degraded envelop with the proposed digital filtering method. Finally the restored envelop is manipulated to the TDD synchronization signal. Our focus on the proposed algorithm is to develop it with simple feature and low cost but robust performance. The proposed scheme was implemented to the integrated system which has both RF and digital circuit and tested under the same condition with the commercial WiBro service.

Recently we have been facing a number of safety accidents under various environments. Currently, if the people encountered a risk during maritime activities in offshore, rescue efforts have been made only rely on the human perspective and experience. As a result, there are a lot of deaths and disappearances accidents caused by accidents at offshore. These accidents are mainly seen to occur because of the delay in the rescue. In order to reduce the accident according to this rescue delay, we carried out a study on the designing a wireless transmitter and receiver devices that can be used easily with latest IoT technologies including GPS, RF, LoRa wireless communication technology for a rapid rescue.
