There are several factors that disturb an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radio propagation in an indoor environment such as path loss, shadowing and multipath fading. These factors directly affect the quality of the received signal. In this paper, we investigated the influence of the human body shadowing on UWB propagation based on measured wireless channel in an anechoic chamber. The characteristics of the UWB channel including the transmitter and the receiver antenna effects are acquired over the frequency bandwidth of 3${\sim}$11 GHz. The major factors such as the power delay profile (PDP), the angular power distribution (APD), the pulse distortion and the RMS delay spread caused by the human body shadowing are presented.

The ST-segment that the beginning part of T wave is the important diagnostic parameter to finding myocardial ischemia. Abnormal ST appears in two types. One is the level change, and the other is the pattern change. In this paper, we describe the monitoring of abnormal ST using PC based system. Hardware of this system consists of transmitter, receiver and PC. The function of transmitter is measuring ECG in three channels which are selected manually and transmitting the data to receiver by digital radio way. Connection with receiver and PC is by RS232C, and the data received on the PC is analyzed automatically by ECG analysis algorithm and saved to file. In the algorithm part for detecting abnormal ST, ST-segments are approximated by a polynomial. This method can detect all of the deviation and pattern change of ST-segment regardless the change in the heart rate or sampling rate. To gain algorithm reliability, the method rejects distorted polynomial approximation by calculation the difference between the approximated ST-segment and original ST-segment. In pre-signal processing, the wavelet transformation separates high frequency bands including QRS complex from the original ECG. Consequently, the process improves the performance of detecting each feature points.

Currently several kinds of sensor localization methods have been developed for terrestrial wireless sensor networks. This study, in order to extend the field to underwater environments, a localization technique is studied for UWSNs (Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks). In underwater environments, RF (Radio Frequency) signal is not suitable for underwater usage because of extremely limited propagation. Because of that reason UWSNs should be constituted with acoustic modems. But, to realize underwater application, we can borrow many design principles from ongoing research for terrestrial environments. So, in this paper we introduce the modified localization algorithm using ToA method which is based on the terrestrial research. First of all, we study the localization techniques for terrestrial environments where we investigate possible methods to underwater environment. And then the appropriate algorithm is presented in the underwater usage. Finally the proposed underwater based localization algorithm is evaluated by using computer.

가전기기를 무선으로 제어하기 위한 리모트 컨트롤러의 상당수는 적외선을 제어 신호의 매개체로 사용한다. 그러나 적외선은 사용자가 가전기기에 보내는 제어 신호의 증폭을 할 수 없으며 물리적인 장벽을 통과하지 못한다. 적외선 대신 무선 주파수를 이용하여 사용자의 제어 신호를 전송하면 이러한 단점을 해결할 수 있으나 기기 간 호환성과 확장성이 부족하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 제약을 극복하기 위하여 블루투스를 이용한 가전기기 제어 시스템을 제안한다. 블루투스는 근거리 무선 통신 표준으로서 저가, 저전력 등의 특성으로 모바일 장비에 적합하다. 본 논문에서는 임베디드 환경에서 블루투스 피코넷을 통한 가전기기 제어를 구현하였다. 이러한 기초 제어는 PDA나 휴대폰 등에 내장 될 경우 다양한 형태로 활용 가능할 것이다.

The metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) capacitor in the ferroelectric random access memory (FeRAM) embedded RFID chip is used in both the memory cell region and the peripheral analog and digital circuit area for capacitance parameter control. The capacitance value of the MFM capacitor is about 30 times larger than that of conventional capacitors, such as the poly-insulator-poly (PIP) capacitor and the metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor. An MFM capacitor directly stacked over the analog and memory circuit region can share the layout area with the circuit region; thus, the chip size can be reduced by about 60%. The energy transformation efficiency using the MFM scheme is higher than that of the PIP scheme in RFID chips. The radio frequency operational signal properties using circuits with MFM capacitors are almost the same as or better than with PIP, MIM, and MOS capacitors. For the default value specification requirement, the default set cell is designed with an additional dummy cell.

본 논문에서는 무선광 인식 장치를 새로이 제안하고 실험하였다. 무선광 인식 장치는 리더와 트랜스폰더로 구성되며, 이들은 동일한 구조로서 조명용 LED의 빛을 전송 매체로 사용하고 솔라 셀로 수신하여 서로 정보를 교환한다. 솔라 셀은 수광 표면이 넓고 평면이어서 렌즈를 사용한 광학적 정렬이 필요하지 않기 때문에 구조가 간단하고 사용이 편리하며, 관리 대상 물체의 표면에 부착하기가 용이하다. 또한 무선광 인식 장치는 빛을 전송 매체로 사용하기 때문에 RF 주파수와의 간섭이 없어 안정하다. 실험에서는 솔라 셀을 사용하여 거리가 약 1 m에서 트랜스폰더의 정보를 자동으로 인식하는 무선광 인식 장치를 구현하였다.

대부분의 기존 통합 리모컨은 동일한 제조회사의 특정 제품군만을 제어할 수 있다. 또한, 시그널 기반의 단방향 통신을 이용하므로 가전기기의 상태를 모니터링 할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 Wireless Personal Area Network 상에서 가전기기의 상태를 관찰할 수 있는 동적 재구성이 가능한 양방향 통합 리모컨의 소프트웨어 프레임워크를 제안한다. 동적 재구성이 가능한 통합 리모컨은 제어 대상인 가전기기의 프로필에 따라 제어를 위한 GUI를 동적으로 생성함으로써 해당 가전기기를 제어할 수 있도록 재구성할 수 있다. 즉, 하나의 통합 리모컨을 통해 프로필을 가진 모든 가전기기를 제어하고 모니터링 할 수 있다.

In the recent years, femtocell technology has received a considerable attention due to the ability to provide an efficient indoor wireless coverage as well as enhanced capacity. However, under the spectrum sharing between femtocell user equipment (FUEs) and the owner of spectrum macrocell user equipment (MUEs), both may experience higher uplink interference to each other. This paper proposes a novel distributed power control algorithm for the interference management in two-tier femtocell networks. Due to the assignment of licensed radio frequency to the outdoor macrocell users, the access priority of MUEs should be higher than FUEs. In addition, the quality of service (QoS) of MUEs that is expressed in the target signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) must always be achieved. On the other hand, we consider an efficient QoS provisioning cost function for the low-tier FUEs. The proposed algorithm requires only local information and converges even in cases where the frontiers of available power serve the target SINRs impossible. The advantage of the algorithm is the ability to implement in a distributed manner. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm based on our cost function provides effective resource allocation and substantial power saving as compared to the traditional algorithms.

The performance of radio frequency (RF) coils, used in MRI units, is determined by the image uniformity and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Birdcage and surface coils are commonly used. A birdcage coil provides a good image uniformity while a surface coil produces a high SNR. In this study, therefore, a staircase coil was designed from a standard version of a birdcage coil, with some structural changes to increase SNR while maintaining image uniformity. In phantom experiments, the improvement of the image to uniformity and the SNR increase of the staircase coil compared with the values for the birdcage coil were about 3.5% and 35%, respectively. In clinical experiment, the SNR increase of the staircase coil, compared with the value for the birdcage coil was about 40% in bone, muscle and blood-vessel tissues. These results show that the performance of the staircase coil was very improved over the standard birdcage coil in terms of SNR, and that image uniformity was maintained. Therefore, the staircase coil designed by this study should be useful in experimental and clinical l.5T MRI systems, and this coil offers an alternative method of quadrature detection.
