교량의 진동을 모니터링하여 구조물의 안전을 진단하는 응용의 경우, 연속적인 데이터 전송률이 ZigBee의 최대 전송률에 육박할 수 있다. 이처럼 연속적으로 생성되는 데이터를 중계하는 라우터의 경우 수신하면서 동시에 송신할 수 없으므로 전송률이 절반 이하로 떨어지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 라우터에 2개의 송수신 모듈을 장착하여 수신하면서 동시에 송신하는 장치의 설계 및 구현을 기술하였다. 또한, 수신과 송신을 동시에 할 수 있도록 서로 다른 채널을 할당하는 중앙집중식 채널할당 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 구현 결과 이중 채널 라우터의 최대 전송률이 150kbps에 이르는 것을 확인하였다.

RFID 태그에 통신 기능이 부가되고 점차 주위 환경을 감지하는 센싱 기능이 부가되면, 능동적으로 정보를 처리하는 지능형 초소형 스마트 센서 네트워크로 발전되어 현재의 고정된 개체 인식 코드 획득 수준에서 다기능 태그에 의한 상황인지 처리 수준으로 진화하여, 개체간 통신 기능을 갖춘 지능형 USN으로 발전할 것으로 전망 된다. ZigBee는 기기간 센서 네트워크를 구성, 단순 제어와 관리를 수행할 수 있는 WPAN의 최적의 기술로 평가 받고 있으며 저 전력, 저가 등의 장점 등으로 시장 성장성이 높은 기술이다. 유/무선 인프라를 확보하고 있는 우리는 ZigBee를 기존, 또는 현재 구축중인 유무선 네트워크와 연결해 다양한 유비쿼터스 서비스를 개발할 수 있는 최적의 테스트베드 환경을 갖추고 있으므로 u-Health의 기반에 꼭 필요한 기술이다.

Recently, with the growth of various sensor applications, the need of wireless communication systems which can support variable data rate is increasing. Therefore, advanced ZigBee (AZB) systems that support the various data rate under 250 kbps are proposed. However, the preamble structure for AZB systems causes the complexity increase of time synchronization circuits. In this paper, we propose preamble structure and time synchronization algorithm which can solve the problem of the complexity increase of time synchronization circuits. Implementation results show that the proposed time synchronizer for AZB systems include the logic slices of 6.92 k and, which are reduced at the rate of 62.3% compared with existing architecture.

Social development as well as the development of consumer electronic devices due to leakage, electric shock or fire, and many are exposed to the risk of leakage currents. Premises in the control cabinet, but the circuit breaker is installed, the existing circuit breaker shuts off when a short circuit in the control cabinet, installed only have the capability. Also connected to the outlet is installed byeokmada family of devices is not easy thing to check individually. In this paper, circuit breakers and circuit analysis and circuit performance, ZigBee-based premises of consumer electronics devices using sensors to monitor the health of the leakage can be presented on how. Performance analysis, the proposed ELB leakage current control system is built into the appliance leakage circuit breaker for each household appliances because the application can check the status of a short circuit, short circuit, over the existing system can be monitored easily.

As modern megalopolises become more complex and huge, convenience and safety of citizens are main components for a welfare state. In order to make safe society, telemetrics technology, which remotely measures the information of target system using electronic devices, is an essential component. In general, telemetrics technology consists of USN (ubiquitous sensor network) based on a wireless network, smart sensor, and SoC (system on chip). In the smart sensor technology, the following two problems should be overcome. Firstly, because it is very difficult for transducer manufacturers to develop smart sensors that support all the existing network protocols, the smart sensor must be independent of the type of networking protocols. Secondly, smart sensors should be modular so that a faulty sensor element can be replaced without replacing healthy communication element. To solve these problems, this paper investigates the feasibility of an IEEE 1451 based ZigBee smart sensor system. More specifically, a smart sensor for large network coverage has been developed using ZigBee for active telemetrics.

ZigBee networks developed for low power and short range communication are being used as home network solution for ubiquitous computing. However, as smart phones and tablet PCs have been widely used, WLANs which use same frequency with ZigBee networks have been increasingly used. Therefore, radio frequency interference causes many problems. To solve radio frequency interference problem among ZigBee networks and WLANs, many researches focus on designing interference minimization schemes in ZigBee networks. However, existing schemes have problems that have waste of resource for detecting interference, and have unnecessary time to avoid interference. In this paper, we propose an interference minimization scheme to solve radio frequency interference in ZigBee networks. The proposed scheme detects interference using ACK mechanism to reduce waste of resource, and avoids interference using table driven channel hopping scheme which is faster than existed schemes. The performance of proposed interference minimization scheme is evaluated by using OPNET simulator. Through the simulation result, we prove that proposed scheme has faster channel hopping than existing schemes.

The monitoring system in railway is under study to forecast any derailment and accident by defect of train. Because the monitoring system is composed of wireless sensor network based on ZigBee-communication between inside and outside of train, the study for wireless channel analysis is required. Especially, if multipath delay profile exist in the channel, the equalizer and channel estimator can be required for preventing receiver performance degradation. Therefore, we analyzed the wireless channel in train environment using measured data and, proposed the channel estimation method through the characterisitic of chip code, under the consideration of the channel characteristics in train. To show the performance of proposed method, we demonstrate the performance by mean square error(MSE), computational complexity and bit error rate(BER).

In this paper we designed and implemented a wireless communication circuit which can control the remote devices integrating RFID and ZigBee. This system unifies transmit part and receive part. And this system recognizes RFID tag data, then the recognized information is controlled by MCU, and transmitted to a remote device through the ZigBee. This is operated on TinyOS. If this system is applied to a entrance security system, it can permit/deny one's entrance as well as control the personal computer or other electronic devices. Our experiment shows the result of the recognized data transmission is very different according to a opened playground and a closed place. The data transmission time is stable in the indoor and the data transmission distance is long in the outdoor. We anticipate that our system be applied the various office oriented domains by connecting to the Wired LAN or the WLAN of IEEE 802.11x category.

This paper presents a design of low power CMOS LNA(Low Noise Amplifier) for 2.4 GHz ZigBee applications. The proposed circuit has been designed by using TSMC $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process and current-reused two-stage cascade topology.

Simulation results shows that the LNA has a extremely low power dissipation of 1.38mW with a $V_{DD}$ of 1.0V. The LNA also has a maximum gain of 13.38dB, input return loss of -20.37dB, output return loss of -22.48dB and noise figure of 1.13dB.
