  • 이 논문에서는 SIMD처리기에서 기억장치 접근시간을 감소시키기 위한 기억장치를 제안했다. 이 기억장치는 MxN 배열내 자료들의 임의의 위치에서 일정 간격인 블록형태와 8방향 선형태인 pq개의 자료들의 동시접근을 지원한다. 기억모듈 수는 pq보다 큰 소수이고, 간격은 기억모듈 수의 배수가 아닌 양수이다. 간단하고 빠른 주소계산회로와 이동회로를 위해, 요구된 자료들에서 첫번째 자료의 기준 주소와 pq개의 주소간의 차들로 구분한 후, 주소간의 차들은 첫번째 자료요소의 기억모듈번호로부터 번호에 따라 오름차순 정렬되고 따른 기억모듈에 저장된다. 9가지 자료 이동형태를 멀티플렉싱과 회전에 의해 1가지로 감소시킨 효율적인 자료 이동 회로를 제안하였다. 제안된 충돌회피 기억장치는 이전 기억장치와 비교하여 자료 접근형태, 간격, 자료 배열의 크기에 제한, 하드웨어 비용, 속도, 복잡도면에서 개선하였다.

  • A low-profile phased array antenna with a low sidelobe was designed and fabricated using a genetic algorithm (GA). The subarray distances were optimized by GA with chromosomes of 78 bits, a population of 100, a crossover probability of 0.9, and a mutation probability of 0.005. The array antenna has 24 subarrays in 14 rows, and is designed as a mobile terminal for Ku-band satellite communication. The sidelobe level was suppressed by 6.5 dB after optimization, compared to the equal spacing between subarrays. The sidelobe level was verified from the far-field pattern measurement by using the fabricated array antenna with optimized distance.

The sixteen patch antennas and microstrip feeding line are printed on the single-layered substrate. The spacing between the array elements is chosen to be $0.736{\lambda}$. HPBW (Half-Power Beam Width) is 17.6 degrees in the E-plane and 18.7 degrees in the H-plane with a gain of 17.2SdBi in the simulation results.

  • The focused MVDR (Minimum Variance Distortionless Response) can be applied for source localization in near field. However, if the number of sensors are increased, it requires a large amount of calculation to obtain the inverse of the covariance matrix. In this paper we propose a focused MVDR method using that beam space is formed from output of far field beamformer at the subarray. The performances of the proposed method was evaluated by simulation. As a result of simulation, the proposed method has the higher spatial resolution performance then the conventional delay-and-sum beamformer.

  • In this paper, to design high speed 1 line VRAM(Video RAM) suitable for image signal processing with ASIC(Application Specific IC) method, the VRAM memory core has been designed using 3-TR dual-port dynamic cell which has excellent access time and integration characteristics. High speed pipeline operation was attained by separating the first row from the subarray 1 memory core and the simultaneous I/Q operation for a selected single address was made possible by adopting data-latch scheme. Peripheral circuits were designed implementing address selector and 1/2V voltage generator. Integrated ASIC has been optimized using 1.5[ m] CMOS design rule.

  • Eigenstructure-based adaptive beamfoming has advantages of fast convergence and the insentivity to errors in the arrival angle of the desired signal. Eigen-decomposing the sample matrix to extract a basis for the Sl (signal plus interference) subspace, however, is very computationally expensive. In this paper, we present a simple subspace based beamforming which utilizes off-diagonal elements of the sample matrix to estimate the Sl subspace. The outputs of overlapped subarrays are combined to produce the final adaptive output, which improves SINR (signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio) comapred to exploiting a single subarray. The proposed adaptive beamformer, which employs an efficient angle estimation is very roubust to errors in both the arrival angles and the number of the incident signals, while the eigenstructure-based beamforer suffers from severe performance degradation.

  • In this paper, we are proposing an efficient 3D source localization algorithm using 3 uniform linear subarrays. The proposed algorithm replaces 3D search required in conventional 3D MUSIC algorithm with 3 1D searches, and thus reduces computational burden. The estimate of the 1D conic angle obtained from a subarray under the far-field assumption satisfies a nonlinear algebraic equation of the true source bearing angle, elevation angle, and range. The proposed algorithm estimates source location by solving 3 algebraic equations obtained from 3 subarrays. Comparing 3D MUSIC spectrums of the estimated source locations, the proposed algorithm solves pairing problem for multiple sources localization.
