  • 본 논문에서는 ADSL 모뎀용 아날로그 Front-end 단에 사용되는 Rx과 Tx단의 연속시간 Gm-C 고역 및 저역 통과 필터를 설계하였다. 설계된 Tx의 아날로그 저역 통과 필터는 차단 주파수, 138kHz의 3차 Elliptic 함수를 이용하였고, Rx에서는 138kHz의 3차 Butterworth 고역 필터와 1.1MHz의 3차 Butterworth 저역 필터를 이용하여 설계하였다. 설계된 모든 필터는 주파수와 이득의 튜닝을 용이하게 하고 잡음특성에 유리한 연속시간 Gm-C 실현 법을 이용하여 구현하였다. Gm-C 실현 법을 이용하기 위하여 선형 특성이 개선된 Gm-C 적분기를 새롭게 설계하여 이용하였다. 설계에 활용된 파라미터는 IDEC에서 제공한 아남의 $0.25{\mu}m$ CMOS 1-poly, 5-metal 공정 파라미터를 이용하였으며, 2.5V의 저전압으로써 회로로 구성하였고 HSPICE를 이용하여 검증하였다.

  • In this paper, new spectrum sensing schemes based on analog/RF front-end processing are introduced for IoT wireless sensor networks. While the conventional approaches for wireless channel cognition have been issued in signal processing area, the RF spectrum cognition concept makes it feasible to achieve cognitive wireless sensor networks (C-WSNs). The spectrum cognition at RF processing is categorized as four kinds of sensing mechanisms. Two recent reseaches are described as promising candidates for the C-WSN. One senses spectrum by the frequency discriminating receiver, the other senses and detects from the frequency selective super-regenerative receiver. The introduced systems with simple and low-power RF architectures play dual roles of channel sensing and demodulation. simultaneously. Therefore, introduced spectrum sensing receivers can be one of the best candidates for IoT wireless sensor devices in C-WSN environments.

  • Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals suffer from the problem of high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which complicates the design of analog front-end of the system. Companding is a well-known PAPR reduction technique that involves transforming signal amplitudes using a deterministic function. OFDM signal amplitude, on average, is Rayleigh distributed but the distribution can vary significantly from symbol to symbol, especially when constellation size increases. In this paper, a new adaptive companding scheme is proposed along with its design methodology aiming at optimizing the compander performance by accommodating this variation in its design. This is achieved by designing compander parameters separately for statistically dissimilar symbols in OFDM waveform and making the compander select from these parameters, during run-time, according to the features of input symbols.

  • The DTV (Digital TV) tuner for an 8-VSB (Vestigial Side-Band) modulation was developed to meet the requirements of the ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee). The double frequency conversion and the active tracking filter in the front-end were used to cancel interferences between adjacent channels and multi-channels by suppressing the IF beat and the Image frequency. However, It was impossible to get frequency mapping between the tracking filter and the first VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) in the existing DTV tuner structure which differs from the NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) tuner. This paper, therefore, suggests an assailable structure and a new method for the automatic frequency selection by mapping the frequency characteristics over the tracking voltage and the combined HW which is composed of a Micro-controller, an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), a DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter), an OP amplifier, and a switch driver.

  • The wordlength optimization for the analog-to-digital converter in DS-CDMA receivers is very important for the efficient implementation of front-end digital demodulator blocks. Wideband CDMA systems reqire a very fast acquisition time, thus they prefer the matched filter base dreceiver architecture.However, the matched filter should san very long chips, and as a results, requires a large number of gates and a high-power consumption. In this paper, the quantization effects on the acquisition performance of the matched filter is analyzed stochastically. The quantization is modeled as a series of saturation and digitization procedures, because the distortion due to the saturation is signal dependent and causes very different effects when compared with that of the, random, digitization noise. Numerical results are obtained to show the optimum saturaton limit of the quantizer for a given wordlength. This analysis can give a guide to low-cost and low-powr digital implementations and assurance of the system performance without intensive simulations.

  • 홈오토메이션 시스템은 보통 데이터 양이 많지 않아 저속 전력선 통신을 사용하는데, 저속 전력선 통신은 대역 확산 방식과 위상 변조 방식이 사용된다. 이 통신 방식은 신호의 정보가 진폭에 없고, 위상 변화에 있으므로 본 논문에서는 신호가 두 개의 상태로 되는 D급 증폭 회로를 사용하여 저임피던스를 가진 전력선 채널에서 적합한 통신이 되도록 하였다. 현재 전력선 모뎀에 사용되는 전압 구동 회로와 전류 구동 회로를 제작하고, 본 논문에서 설계한 D급 증폭 회로를 이용한 구동 회로와 비교 실험을 하였다. 실험 결과 본 논문에서 설계한 구동 회로가 다른 구동 회로보다 낮은 전력선 채널 임피던스에 대하여 전달 특성이 우수함을 보였다.

  • The use of AGVs(Automated Guided Vehicles) are increasing in many factories. The most widely used AGV system is that magnetic tapes are attached on the factory floor to make guided path and an AGV equipped with a magnetic sensor follows the path by sensing magnetic flux. In this AGV system, usually a magnetic sensor is attached on the front end of an AGV to detect the guided path and the sensor generates analog voltages proportional to the magnetic flux. The problem is that the AGV in use has rather big tracking errors because the accurate orientation of the AGV can not be detected by using only one magnetic sensor. In this paper, we propose a method to minimize the path tracking errors. In our method, one additional sensor is attached on the rear end of the AGV to estimate the orientation of the AGV and to control more accurately the AGV according to the estimated orientation of the AGV. We performed several experiments and the results successfully show the feasibility of the proposed method.
