Air pollution monitoring has attracted a lot of interests because it affects directly to the human life quality. The most of the current air pollution monitoring stations use the expensive and bulky instruments and are only installed in the specific area. Therefore, it is difficult to install them to as many places as people need. In this work, we constructed a low price and small size Radio Frequency(RF) sensor system to solve this problem. This system also had the measurement range similar to the ones used in the air pollution forecast systems. This system had the sensor unit to measure the air quality, the central processing unit for air quality data acquisition, the power unit to supply the power to every units, and the RF unit for the wireless transmission and reception of the data. This system was easy to install in the field. We also added a GPS unit to track the position of the RF-sensor in real time by wireless communication. For the various measurements of the air pollution, we used CO, $O_3$, $NO_2$ sensors as gas sensors and also installed a dust sensor.

In a CDMA system, the capacity is variable and mainly depends on multiple access interference. The multiple access interference has a deep relationship with transmitted or received power The capacity of CDMA2000 1x system is considered to be limited by the forward link capacity Different rate data traffic requires different transmitted power and rate controlling enables the system utilize radio resource more efficiently. A very simple rate control algorithm for data calls in CDMA2000 1x system is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, by monitoring the total transmit power, we can simply adjust data rate to channel conditions and efficiently use radio resources. The proposed algorithm is easy to implement in power controlled CDMA systems.

This research focused on the development of wireless telemetry system that can monitor heart rates of multiple rehabilitation patients in real time without constraint. The whole system consists of the multiple patient's side devices (PSDs) and one central monitoring system (CMS). The PSD consists of a microphone, amplifier, filter, microcontroller, and RF (Radio Frequency) modem. In addition, the PSD was designed to be wearable and low power consumption. The CMS consists of an RF modem and general PC and it was designed to monitor heart rates from multiple patients simultaneously. The system warns an alarm signal when a patient's heart rate exceeds the pre-set range for each patient. This system can be useful to monitor the heart rate of exercising rehabilitation patients and control the patients condition and the exercising level.

KVN 수신기는 22/43/86/129GHz 주파수 대역의 우주전파를 관측할 수 있는 4채널 동시 관측 시스템의 핵심으로 다수의 제어 및 모니터 항목이 존재한다. 대표적인 예로 Synthesizer, Pcal, LO, Vacuum, Cryogenic Temperature 등이 있으며 이와 관련된 여러 인스트루먼트가 21m 전파망원경의 하부단에 위치한 수신기실 내에 분산 배치되어 있다. 이에 대한 효율적인 제어를 위해서는 사용자 컴퓨터 관점에서 두 가지 조건이 충족되어야 한다. 첫째, 물리적으로 분산된 인스트루먼트에 대한 접근 및 변경이 용이해야 하고, 둘째는 단일 인터페이스 상에서 다양한 인스트루먼트를 하나로 통합하는 확장성이 보장되어야 한다. 이러한 요건을 고려하여 KVN은 산업 분야에서 널리 쓰이고 있는 프로피버스를 수신기 시스템의 제어를 위한 기반 인터페이스로 활용 중에 있고, 추가 기능 요구에 효율적으로 대처하고 있다. 본 발표에서는 먼저 KVN 수신기 시스템을 구성하는 인스트루먼트에 대해 살펴보고자 한다. 그리고 이를 효율적으로 제어하기 위한 기반 인터페이스로서 프로피버스 구축 및 활용 현황에 대해 논하고자 한다.

GPS radio occultation is a remote sensing technique probing atmospheric properties based on the fact that GPS signal is refracted and delayed by atmosphere. The FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC mission jointly developed by the USA and Taiwan is providing about 2500 occultation soundings a day on the near real-time basis. The Korean KOMPSAT-5/AOPOD system is preparing to launch for monitoring troposphere and ionosphere using a dual frequency GPS receiver and the antenna for occultation data acquisition. In this paper, we examine the methods for signal processing and the geometry analysis for GPS radio occultation, and look into the retrieval techniques for the temperature and humidity of troposphere and the electron density and scintillation of ionosphere. Using these atmospheric properties, we aim to derive the strategies for applying GPS radio occultation to space weather, for example, ionospheric TEC(total electron content) analysis for earthquake monitoring and the Open API(application programming interface) development for more effective data service.

Since a Holter monitor records a patients' ECG when he is in motion, it can monitor complex heart disease effectively. But it can not handle a sudden heart disease because the diagnosis process will be done only after 24 hours. So in this study, a model of ambulatory monitoring system using wireless data communication network is proposed. And a mobile ECG equipment and a doctors' terminal are developed for the proposed system implementation. As a result, we can evaluate that the proposed ambulatory monitoring system is suitable for the management of ambulatory patients who may be at risk form sudden cardiac abnormalities.

RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) is a method of remotely storing and retrieving data using devices called 'RFID tags'. An RFID tag is a small object, such as an adhesive sticker, that can be attached to or incorporated into a product. RFID tags contain antennas to enable them to receive and respond to radio-frequency queries fro an RFID transceiver. Eventually, RFID SYSTEM is very interesting to watch people live linger than they used to before. Some of reasons for that phenomenon is the improving medical studies. As we live healthier and get to know more about our body, we can extend our lives. This Platform is Physical Health Promotion Service, Home Health Monitoring Service, Mental Health Promotion Service, Home Patient Management Service, Chronic Disease Management Service, Emergency Patient Management Service, Medical Information and Consulting Service of the RFID.

With advance in technologies for wireless sensor networks(WSNs), 2.4 GHz band has become gradually attractive due to increase in low-power wireless communication devices. Especially ZigBee(IEEE 802.15.4-based) technology whose frequency band includes the 2.4GHz industrial, scientific and medical band providing nearly worldwide availability has been universally applicable to a various remote monitoring system and applications related home network system. However network throughput of these systems is significantly deteriorated due to this ISM band is a license-exemption used in a variety of low-power wireless communication devices. For instance, other IEEE 802 wireless standards such as Bluetooth, WLAN, Wi-Fi and others cause radio interference to ZigBee. The experiments was carried out to analyze radio frequency interference between heterogeneous devices using ISM bands to improve the limited frequency utility factor. Finally this paper suggests a frequency hopping-based adaptive multi-channel methods to decrease interference with empirical results.
