Blind signature is such a signature scheme that conceals the contents of signature itself and who is the user of the signature make user's anonymity possible. For this reason, they are used in security services such as electronic cashes and electronic votes in which the behavior of actor should not be exposed. In this paper we propose an ID-based blind signature scheme from Gap Diffie-Hellman group. Its security is based on the hardness of Computational Diffie-Hellman Problem. Proposed scheme efficiently improve against existing blind signature scheme by using two-pass protocol between two users and by reducing computation process. Therefore it can be used efficiently in wireless PKI environment.

This paper proposes a 6b 1.2 GS/s 47.8 mW 0.17 $mm^2$ 65 nm CMOS ADC for high-rate wireless personal area network systems. The proposed ADC employs a source follower-free flash architecture with a wide input range of 1.0 $V_{p-p}$ at a 1.2 V supply voltage to minimize power consumption and high comparator offset effects in a nanometer CMOS technology. The track-and-hold circuits without source followers, the differential difference amplifiers with active loads in pre-amps, and the output averaging layout scheme properly handle a wide-range input signal with low distortion. The interpolation scheme halves the required number of pre-amps while three-stage cascaded latches implement a skew-free GS/s operation. The two-step bubble correction logic removes a maximum of three consecutive bubble code errors. The prototype ADC in a 65 nm CMOS demonstrates a measured DNL and INL within 0.77 LSB and 0.98 LSB, respectively. The ADC shows a maximum SNDR of 33.2 dB and a maximum SFDR of 44.7 dB at 1.2 GS/s. The ADC with an active die area of 0.17 $mm^2$ consumes 47.8 mW at 1.2 V and 1.2 GS/s.

In this paper, a dual mode baseband analog channel selection filter is described which is designed for the Bluetooth and WCDMA wireless communications. Using the presented current-mode integrator, a dual mode channel selection filter is designed. To verify the current-mode integrator circuit, Hspice simulation using 1.8V Hynix $0.18{\mu}m$ standard CMOS technology was performed and achieved $50.0{\sim}4.3dB$ gain, $2.29{\sim}10.3MHz$ unity gain frequency. The described third-order dual mode analog channel selection filter is composed of the current-mode integrator, and used SFG(Signal Flow Graph) method. The simulated results show 0.51, 2.40MHz cutoff frequency which is suitable for the Bluetooth and WCDMA baseband block each.

Currently, SEAMCAT has been widely used as a tool to evaluate the effects of interference among wireless communication systems. In the previous work, we have incorporated the ITU-R P.526 pathloss model to the existing SEAMCAT in order to support the capability of interference evaluation taking into account any specific terrain characteristics. Along with this, we have implemented a terrain display function based on the Google map. However, the two-dimensional Google map based display is not effective in helping users to figure out some terrain features including the elevation variation in a given region. In order to alleviate this difficulty, we have incorporated the three-dimensional terrain display using the API of the Google earth to the existing SEAMCAT and provided the capability of viewing the positions of the associated communication systems, the variation of the carrier intensity and interference intensity in location, shadow region indication, and line-of-sight analysis and presented an example of interference evaluation.

Background: Gait problems appear in most stroke patients. Commonly, stroke patients show the typical abnormal gait patterns, such as circumduction, genu recurvatum, and spastic paretic stiff-legged gait. An inclined treadmill gait exercise is good for gait problems of stroke patients. In addition, the backward walking training has been recommended in order to improve the component of the movement for the forward walking. Objects: The purpose of this study to investigated the effects of backward walking with inclined treadmill training on the gait in chronic stroke patients. Methods: A total of 30 volunteers were randomly allocated to two groups that walked on an inclined treadmill: the experimental group ($n_1=15$), which walked backward, and the control group ($n_2=15$), which walked forward. To measure the improvement of the patients' gait, a Figure of Eight Walking Test (F8W), Four Square Step Test (FSST), and Functional Gait Assessment (FGA) were performed. We also measured spatio-temporal gait variables, including gait speed, cadence, stride length, and single limb support using a three-axial wireless accelerometer. The measurements were taken before and after the experiment. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare both groups before and after the interventions. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for the comparisons after the interventions. The statistical significance was set at ${\alpha}=.05$. Results: Before and after experiment, all dependent variables were significantly different between the two groups (p<.05). As compared to the control group, the experimental group showed more significant improvements in F8W, FSST, speed, cadence, stride length, and single limb support (p<.05); however, FGA in this group was not significantly different from the control (p>.05). Conclusion: Our results suggest that backward walking on an inclined treadmill is more effective for improving the gait of stroke patients than forward walking.

In this paper, we consider an OFDM receiver algorithm design for IEEE 802.11a/p system, which targeting large coverage area while keeping the transmission format unchanged. Particularly, taking into account the inter-symbol interference(ISI) and inter-carrier interference(ICI) that can be induced with large RMS delay spread, we employ channel shortening time-domain equalizer(TEQ) and evaluate the receiver performance in terms of SINR and packet error rate(PER). The preamble defined in IEEE802.11a/p is used to estimated the initial equalizer tap coefficients. Primary purpose of the paper is to give an answer to the question, though partially, whether or not 16-QAM constellation can be used in none line of sight environment at the boundary of a large coverage area. To this end, we first analyze the required TEQ parameters for the target channel environment and then perform simulation for PER performance evaluation in a generic frequency selective fading channel with exponential power-delay profile.

In this paper, we design the IFFT/FFT (Inverse fast Fourier Transform/Fast Fourier Transform) modules for IEEE 802.11a-1999, which is a standard of the High-speed Wireless LAN using the OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing). The designed IFFT/FFT is the 64-point FFT to be compatible with IEEE 802.11a and the pipelined architecture which needs neither serial-to-parallel nor parallel-to-serial converter. We compare four types of IFFT/FFT modules for the hardware complexity and operation : R22SDF (Radix-2 Single-path Delay feedback), the R2SDF (Radix-2 Single-path Delay feedback), R2SDF (Radix-4 Single-path Delay Feedback), and R4SDC (Radix-4 Single-path Delay Commutator). In order to minimize the error, we design the IFFT/FFT module to operate with additional decimal parts after butterfly operation. In case of the R22SDF, the IFFT/FFT module has 44,747 gate counts excluding RAMs and the minimized error rate as compared with other types. And we know that the R22SDF has a small hardware structure as compared with other types.

In this paper, dual mode FET mixer for WiBro and wireless LAN(WLAN) applications has been designed in the form of dual gate FET mixer by using the cascode structure of two single gate pHEMTs. The designed dual gate mixer has been optimized to have variable conversion gain for WiBro and WLAN applications in order to save dc power consumption. The LO to RF isolation of the designed mixer is more than 20dB from 2.3GHz to 2.5GHz band. With the LO power of 0dBm and RF power of -50dBm, the mixer shows 15dB conversion gain. When RF power increases from -50dBm to -20dBm, the conversion gain decreases to -2dB from 15dB with bias change. The variable conversion gain has several advantages. It can reduce the high dynamic range requirement of AGC burden at IF stage. Also, it can save the dc power dissipation of mixer up to 90%.

A Ka Band 3-stage MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits) LNA (Low Noise Amplifiers) has been designed and fabricated far the Ka band satellite communications and BWLL(Broad Band Wireless Local Loop)system. The MMIC LNA consists of two single-ended type amplification stages and one balanced type amplification stage to satisfy noise figure, high gain and amplitude linearity. The 0.15${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ pHEMT has been used to provide a ultra low noise figure and high gain amplification. Series and Shunt feedback circuits and λ/4 short lines were inserted to ensure high stability over the frequency range form DC to 80 GHz. The size of the MMIC LNA is 3.1mm$\times$2.4mm(7.44mm$^2$). The on wafer measured performance of the MMIC LNA, which agreed with the designed performance, showed the noise figure of less than 2.0 dB, and the gain of more than 26 dB, over frequency ranges from 22 GHz to 30 GHz.
