  • The communications link in a space program is a crucial point for upgrading its performance by handling data between spacecraft bus and payloads, because spacecraft's missions are related to the data handling mechanism using communications ports such as a controlled area network bus (CAN Bus) and a universal asynchronous receiver and transmitter (UART). The NEXTSat-1 has a lot of communications ports for performing science and technology missions. However, the top level system requirements for the NEXTSat-1 are mass and volume limitations. Normally, the communications for units shall be conducted by using point to point link which require more mass and volume to interconnect. Thus, our approach for the novel communications link in the NEXTSat-1 program is to use CAN and serializer and deserializer low voltage differential signal (SerDesLVDS) to meet the system requirements of mass and volume. The CAN Bus and SerDesLVDS were confirmed by using already defined communications link for our missions in the NEXTSat-1 program and the analysis results were reported in this study in view of data flow and size analysis.

  • This paper introduces a home network service system using a low-cost wireless router on OpenWrt which can be remotely controled by Android devices. The proposed system consists of an embedded system development platform for home network service control based on OpemWrt embedded Linux, an embedded system development platform, a remote control on Android, and a home linghting device made by an interface board with LEDs. The prototype system is made of a wireless router of Buffalo, WZR-HP-G450H, Arduino Uno interface board with LEDs, and an Android development kit of HBE-SM5-S421. The operation was performed by TCP/IP programming for Android remote control, socket programming between Android development kit and wireless router, and UART communication programming between the interface board and wireless router.

  • AIS(Automatic Identification System) is an vessel traffic management system which exchanges vessel data with other nearby ships, AIS base stations using VHF band. A domestic AIS base station is located along coast lines or island. So it is difficult to collect vessel data from the ocean. To solve this problem, we adopted AIS payload on the low earth orbit satellite. The AIS payload on the satellite is interfaced with OBC(On-Board Computer) via UART and the FSW(Satellite Flight Software) manages it. The FSW have to receive AIS command from ground station and forward to AIS payload. Similarly FSW have to receive response, OBP, OGP data from AIS payload and it is downlink to the ground station. So in this paper we describe the FSW design & implementation for AIS payload.

  • In this paper, we design the FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) of the CAMB (Constant-Amplitude Multi-code Biorthogonal) modulation, and implement the SoC (System on Chip). The ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) chip is be implemented through targeting and board test. This 12Mbps modem SoC includes the ARM (Advanced RISC Machine)7TDMI, 64Kbyte SRAM(Static Random Access Memory) and ADC (Analog to Digital Converter)/DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) for flexible applications. Additionally, the modem SoC can support the variable communication interfaces such as the 16-bits PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association), USB (Universal Serial Bus) 1.1, and 16C550 Compatible UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter).

  • A single chip NFC transceiver supporting not only NFC active and passive mode but also 13.56MHz RFID reader and tag mode was designed and fabricated. The proposed NFC transceiver can operate as a RFID tag even without external power supply which has dual antenna structure for initiator and target. The area increment due to additional target antenna is negligible because the target antenna is constructed by using a shielding layer of initiator antenna. The analog front end circuit of the proposed NFC transceiver consists of a transmitter and receiver of reader/writer block supporting NFC initiator or RFID reader mode, and a tag circuit for target of passive NFC mode or RFID tag mode. The maximum baud rate of the proposed NFC device is 212kbps by using UART serial interface. The chip has been designed and fabricated using a Magnachip's $0.35{\mu}m$ double poly 4-metal CMOS process, and the effective area of the chip is 2200um by 3600um.

  • This paper presents a electrocardiogram(ECG), electromyogram(EMG), and Photoplethysmography(PPG) signal wireless monitoring system based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). ECG and EMG sensor interface analog front-end circuits are designed by using off-the-shelf parts. Texas Instruments(TI)'s CC2540DK is used for BLE-based communication. Two CC2540DK modules are used as Peripheral and Central nodes. In peripheral device, vital signals are acquired by the analog front-ends and fed to ADC for analog-to-digital conversion. The peripheral transmitts the data through the air to the central device. The central device receive the data and sends them to PC using UART. GUI is designed using Labview for displaying the acquired vital signals. The developed system can be used for future ubiquitous wireless healthcare system based on bluetooth 4.0.

  • Various events of stop, playback, capture, and zoom-in/out in playing video is available in the monitor of a small size such as smart phones. However, if the size of the display increases, then the cost of the touch recognition is increased, thus provision of a touch event is not possible in practice. In this paper, we propose a video event control system that recognizes a touch inexpensively from the depth information, then provides the variety of events of the toggle, the pinch-in / out by the single or multi-touch. The proposed method finds a touch location and the touch path by the depth information from a depth camera, and determines the touch gesture type. This touch interface algorithm is implemented in a small single-board system, and can control the video event by sending the gesture information through the UART communication. Simulation results show that the proposed depth touch method can control the various events in a large screen.
