A split-spectrum processing technique for an ultrasonic flaw detection system has been developed, which improves the flaw-to-grain echo ratio in large-grained materials. The enhancement is achieved by partitioning a wide-band received spectrum to obtain frequency shifted bands, which are then processed to suppress the grain echoes with respect to the flaw echo, using a novel signal minimization algorithm. A technique for suppression of grain echoes has also been devised which takes advantage of the fact that the grain echo amplitude changes with the frequency of the incident ultrasound whereas the flaw echo amplitude does not. The combination of this technique and the new flaw detection system greatly improve the capabilities of ultrasonic evaluation of large grain materials.

In order to widen the tuning range, capacitive degeneration is applied to fully CMOS LC VCOs. Small signal analysis shows that the fixed MOSFET capacitance seen by the LC tank is smaller than that of the traditional LC VCO, resulting in significant extension in the tuning range. This improvement in the tuning range has been verified through measurement of a 10-GHz LC VCO fabricated by $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The measured tuning range is from 9.8-GHz to 12-GHz, which is better than those of the reported CMOS LC VCOs in 10-GHz band. The measured phase noise is - 103dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset.

An engineer prefers DIFM receiver which is superior to instantaneous response rather than superheterodyne receiver which has a scan rate in normal wide band receiver designing. But DIFM receiver has weak point in sensitivity and continuous wave signal because of special environments. In this paper we propose the method which is certificated through simulation and prototype testing to improve sensitivity of DIFM receiver. And we analyze the important factors of DIFM receiver from our results.

According to the development and wide use of broad band internet etc., diverse application technologies using large capacity data such as images have been progressed and in these systems, for accurate acquisition and precise applications of an original signal, the degradation phenomenon generated in the transmission process etc. should be removed. Noises have become known as the main cause of the degradation phenomenon and especially Gaussian noise represents characteristics occurring dependently in image signals and degrades detail information such as edge. In this paper, we removed Gaussian noise using a subdivided nonlinear function according to a threshold value and analyzed the histogram acquired from an edge image to establish a threshold value adaptively, and strengthened detail information of image by using the postprocessing. In simulation results, the proposed method represented excellent performance from comparison of MSE with existing methods.

IEEE 802.15.4a의 UWB(ultra-wide band) 방식에서 PHY(physical layer) 시스템에 사용되는 FEC(forward error correction)는 RS(Reed-Solomon) 조직적(systematic) 블록 부호와 1/2의 부호율을 가진 조직적 길쌈 부호의 연접 형태로 이루어져 있다.[1] UWB 신호를 이용한 시스템은 연속적이지 않은 임펄스(impulse) 기반의 신호를 사용하기 때문에 정밀도 면에서 뛰어난 장점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE P802.15.4a 표준에 명시되어 있는 FEC를 구현하여 AWG(adaptive white gaussian noise) 채널에서의 SNR(signal to noise ratio)에 따른 BER(bit error rate)을 구함으로써 성능을 분석하였다. 실험에서의 정확한 결과를 얻기 위해 15.4a의 UWB에서의 변조 방식에 따라 신호를 변조한 후 잡음을 삽입하여 결과를 도출하였다.

In this paper, we design RF transceiver architecture and building blocks for impulse radio UWB system. Impulse radio UWB signal occupies the wide frequency band which is very low transmission power. So, it can minimize the interference effect with the other system. Using UWB technology, we obtain position awareness service. Therefore, we describe the RF transceiver architecture of direct conversion receiver and define the requirement of RF transceiver. Moreover, we implement a prototype RF transceiver based on the presented standard and verify a function and performance through the wireless data communication and ranging test.

Satellite communication for high altitude platform stations (HAPS) and geostationary orbit (GEO) systems suffers from sand and dust (SANDU) storms in desert and arid regions. The focus of this paper is to propose common relations between HAPS and GEO for the atmospheric impairments affecting the satellite communication networks operating above Ku-band crossing the propagation path. A double phase three-dimensional relationship for HAPS and GEO systems is then presented. The comparison model present the analysis of atmospheric attenuation with specific focus on sand and dust based on particular size, visibility, adding gas effects for different frequency, and propagation angle to provide systems' operations with a predicted vision of satellite parameters' values. Thus, the proposed system provides wide range of selecting applicable parameters, under different weather conditions, in order to achieve better SNR for satellite communication.

NB-IoT(Narrow Band Internet of Things) is an emerging LPWAN(Low Power Wide Area Network) radio technology. NB-IoT has many advantages like low power, low cost, and high coverage. However low bandwidth and low sampling rates also lead to poor positioning accuracy. This paper proposed a solution to optimize positioning accuracy under the OTDOA(Observed Time Difference of Arrival) approach by utilizing MLR(Multiple Linear Regression) models. Through the MLR model to predict the influence degree of weather(temperature, humidity, light intensity and air pressure) on the arrival time of signal transmission to improve the measurement accuracy. The improvement of measurement accuracy can greatly improve IoT applications based on NB-IoT.

본 논문에서는 광대역 무선 신호를 증폭하는 전력증폭기의 성능 테스트 시 인접 채널 간섭(ACLR) 특성을 측정하는 데 있어서, 효과적인 다중 톤 생성을 활용한 테스트 방안에 관하여 연구하였다. 그 동안 단일 주파수 정현파 신호를 테스트에 활용하는 경우 신호가 복잡해짐에 따라 오차가 증가하는 문제점이 있기에, 실제 변조 신호와의 측정 오차를 최소화하도록 다중 톤 신호를 설계하는 방식을 제안하였다. 제안된 다중 톤은 시간 축에서의 유사성을 확보하는 방식으로 설계되어 기존의 다중 톤 생성 방식 대비 더욱 적은 수의 톤으로 정확한 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 이의 검증을 위하여 802.11a 규격의 기저 대역 복소 신호를 다중 톤 신호로 대체하였으며, 이를 전력증폭기 성능 검증에 활용하였다. 그 결과, N=10 이상의 톤 수를 확보하는 경우 3차, 5차 비선형성에 의한 ACLR 특성이 실제 신호 활용한 경우와 1 dB 이하의 오차를 나타내었다.

본 논문에서는 TSMC 0.18 um CMOS 공정을 사용하여 UWB Chaotic-OOK(On-Off Keying) 통신을 위한 송신기를 설계하였다. 송신기는 Quasi-chaotic 신호 발생기, OOK 변조기, 구동 증폭기로 구성되어 있다. 일반적으로 아날로그 피드백을 사용하는 chaotic 신호 발생기는 공정 변화에 대한 취약점이 있어 이를 개선하기 위하여 디지털 피드백 구조의 Quasi-chaotic 신호 발생기를 사용하였다 또한, OOK 변조를 위해 T형 구조의 변조기와 단일 출력 신호를 얻기 위한 차동 입력 단일 출력 구동 증폭기를 설계하였다. 측정 결과, 요구되는 spectrum mask를 만족시키는 출력을 얻었으며, 데이터 20 Kbps, 200 Kbps, 2 Mbps, 10 Mbps에 따른 OOK 변조 테스트를 통해 출력 신호를 확인하여 UWB chaotic-OOk 송신기로 사용 가능함을 확인하였다.
