Nitrogen incorporated diamond-like carbon films were deposited by r.f. glow discharge of mixtures of benzene and ammonia gases. Mechanical properties, composition and atomic bond structure were investigated when the fraction of ammonia increases from 0 to 0.79 and the negative self bias voltage of cathode from 100 to 900 V. Both the residual compressive stress and the hardness decrease from 1.7 to 1.0 GPa and from 2750Kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$ to 1700Kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$, respectively. In addition to hydrogen, triply bonded nitrogens also play a role of teminal sites of the three dimensional atomic bond network. By considering the hydrogen concentration and the nitrogen bond characteristics, it can be shown that the mechanical properties of the films are determined by the content of three dimensional inter-links of $sp^2$ clusters. Although the mechanical properties are affected by the nitrogen addition, its depedence on the negative bias voltage is qualitatively identical to that of pure diamond-like carbon films.

This paper describes the construction and experimetal results of prototype digital telesounder developed to monitor remotely the fish school entered in setnet. The telesounder consists of the sea station and land station. The former consists of an ultrasonic transceiving part of 50 KHz, a hand made 16 bits single board computer (SBC), and a RF MODEM of 9600 bps for data link. The SBC controls the trigger signal to transmit the ultrasonic pulse, maximum detection range, sampling rate in analog to digital converter and data link. The sampling rate of echo data was 80 ${\mu}$s. The later consists of a RF MODEM same as the former one and 486 notebook computer which displays the echogram and saves its raw data. The authors carried out some experiments to confirm the practical use of the telesounder. At results the echogram obtained on the land station is sufficiently good and clear to monitor the behavior of fish school in setnet.

This paper presents the method of antenna polarization isolation and resource control for frequency interference reduction due to the frequency reuse between opposite sectors. We have examined the frequency interference between opposite sectors which is occurred by operating base station for reducing frequency interference. The base station has a frequency reusing structure in opposite sector. So, the base station can make a in-band frequency interference. In order to minimize frequency interference, we proposed two methods. The first is the antenna polarization isolation method. The CINR was improved to 27dB from 17dB when using the antenna polarization isolation. The second is resource control which is the method for lining up the RF power and limiting RF power control range of each link. In this paper, by using the proposed two methods, presents a scheme that reduces frequency interference in the frequency reusing structure.

It is required to design the RF link with sufficiently stable signal margin to minimize bit errors and improve the quality of received data in the telemetry system modulated digitally like PCM/FM. In case of the vehicle flying at a high speed, the variation of the gain pattern between transmitting and receiving antenna and the fee space loss due to flight distance cause the fluctuation of link. In this paper, KSR(Korea Sounding Rocket)- III, the first domestic liquid rocket which was successfully launched in Nov. 2002 is introduced. The SNR(signal-to-noise ratio) variation of the telemetry signal which was measured at S-band ground station, the one which was simulated considering the flight trajectory, and the attitude variation such as roll, pitch and yaw are compared, analyzed, and agree very well. In addition, two virtual flying situations are simulated and evaluated-only one antenna is equipped in one case, and rocket is roll-free in the other.

In this paper, we propose the signal processing techniques for the command link receiver mounted to aircrafts flying at a high speed. In order to acquire the various information transmitted from ground through radio frequency links, the wide received signal range must be guaranteed as well as the carrier synchronization and symbol synchronization be performed correctly within short pulse sections. After the synchronization step, we should be able to achieve theoretical performance of the modulation and demodulation scheme applied as deciding bit and symbol at the time appointed. By test results, we make sure that the proposed signal processing techniques can be effectively applied command link receiver mounted to aircrafts.

It is said that the desirable bio-signal measurement and stimulation system should be an implantable type if the several problems such as biocompatibility, electrical safety, and so on are overcome. In addition to the biocompatibility issue, a robust RF communication and a stable electrical power source for the implantable bio-signal measurement and stimulation system are very important matters. In this paper, a wireless telemetry system which adopts the FCC's approved MICS (medical implant communication service) protocol and a wireless power transmission has been proposed. The proposed system composed of a base station (BS) and an implantable medical device (IMD) has the advantages that the interference with other RF devices can be reduced by the use of the specially assigned MICS frequency band of 402.MHz to 405 MHz. Also, the proposed system includes various functions of a multi-channel bio-signal acquisition and an electric stimulation. Since the electrical power for the IMD can be provided by the inductive link between PCB patterned coils, the IMD needs no battery so that the IMD can be smaller size and much less dangerous than the active type IMD which includes the internal battery. Finally, the validity as a wireless telemetry system has been demonstrated through the experiments by using the implemented BS and IMD.

The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of a wireless transceiver that can be inserted into the ear canal. The wireless technology could minimize the cosmetic problems of patients, and it can be applied to binaural hearing aids for improving speech perception. In order to implement the ear canal insertable transceiver, simple finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations were carried out to determine the feasibility, and the hardware of the transceiver was implemented within the ear shell. The size of the implemented transceiver was only $7{\times}7mm$, and it could successfully transmit signals to external devices. In order to measure the radiation pattern, a simple RF phantom was used, and the maximum attenuation from the phantom was observed to be 23 dB when the reference antenna was placed at a distance of 2 m from the transmitter.

The electronic shelf label(ESL) system based on wireless communication can reduce waste of disposable paper, reduce labor force and update real time information. However, the environment in which a large number of ESL modules are installed is exposed to interference from radio frequency(RF) communications in the Industry-Science-Medical(ISM) band. In this paper, we propose an ESL system based on visible light communication to avoid congestion of ESL system using ISM band. In the proposed system, the goods information and ID transmitted from the administrator server are transmitted in the ESL Tag, and the ESL Tag identifies the ID and displays the product information. Experiments show that ESL system using visible light communication is possible.

This paper presents an interface configuration between the Access Point(AP) of Wibro and Radio Over Fiber(ROF) transceivers for the wireless broadband internet system. The wireless internet could provides 60km/h mobility and 50Mbps IP based data services for each mobile terminal. Thus, low cost of each cell is inevitably required. This paper suggests an interface configuration between AP and Passive Integrated Picocell(PIP) involving ROF links. Characteristics of a typical Fabry-Perot ROF link and a PIP using a passive Electro-Absorption Modulator(EAM) are described and measured for wireless internet applications. In addition, results of RF coverage of a PIP have been shown.

In this paper, we proposed an fiber-optic transceivers based on the analog optical transmission techniques of incorporating the SCM (subcarrier multiplexing) and WDM (wavelength-division multiplexing ) method, which can be used to transmission of IMT-2000 and PCS wireless frequency band and analyzed overall those parameters related with fabrication. Especially in the impedance matching network between RF signal and LD, we proposed the method of deriving optimal performance using simulation techniques. In the frequency band of 1.7GHz∼2.25GHz, experimental data for the gain flatness and the noise floor of the optical link were also presented $\pm$1.5dB and -130dBm respectively when the link Rain was 0dB.
