For alleviating the low spectrum efficiency problem of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), due to the strong inter-cell-interference (ICI) at cell's edge, we introduce comb-spectrum code division multiple access (CS-CDMA) into broadband OFDM system at downlink channel for enabling the use of entire spectrum for seamless coverage. In addition, we develop a new method, called orthogonal cell code (OCC) scheme, to assist CS-CDMA for nullifying the ICI from contiguous cells. In system operation, each of the conventional cells is divided into an outer cell and an inner cell, and a mobile station (MS) should access to the CS-CDMA when it is in the outer cell and access to OFDM when it is in the inner cell. This study investigates the spectrum efficiency of using CS-CDMA and makes a comparison with that of long term evolution (LTE) in the following cases; (1) under an assumption of perfect channel state information and (2) based on channel estimates at a MS station. The results show the great advantage of utilizing the proposed system.

The purpose of this paper is to compare complexity and to assess flexibility of competing transponder architectures for satellite communication services. For performance comparison, we consider three channelization techniques: digital down converter(DDC) based on the use of the cascaded integrator-comb(CIC) filter, tuneable pipeline frequency transform(T-PFT) based on the tree-structure(TS) and variable oversampled complex-modulated filter banks(OCM-FB) based on the polyphase FFT(P-FFT). The comparison begins by presenting a basic architecture of each channelization method and includes analytical expressions of the number of multiplications as a computational complexity perspective. The analytical results show that DDC with CIC filter requires the heavy computational burden and the perfect flexibility. T-PFT based on the TS provides the almost perfect flexibility with the low complexity over DDC with the CIC filter for a large number of sub-channels. OCM-FB based on the P-FFT shows the high flexibility and the best computational complexity performance compared with other approaches.

Modern distance sensing methods employ various measurement principles, including triangulation, time-of-flight, confocal, interferometric and frequency comb. Among them, the triangulation method, with a laser light source and an image sensor, is widely used in low-cost applications. We developed an omnidirectional two-dimensional (2D) distance sensor based on the triangulation principle for indoor floor mapping applications. The sensor has a range of 150-1500 mm with a relative resolution better than 4% over the range and 1% at 1 meter distance. It rotationally scans a compact one-dimensional (1D) distance sensor, composed of a near infrared (NIR) laser diode, a folding mirror, an imaging lens, and an image detector. We designed the sensor layout and configuration to satisfy the required measurement range and resolution, selecting easily available components in a special effort to reduce cost. We built a prototype and tested it with seven representative indoor wall specimens (white wallpaper, gray wallpaper, black wallpaper, furniture wood, black leather, brown leather, and white plastic) in a typical indoor illuminated condition, 200 lux, on a floor under ceiling mounted fluorescent lamps. We confirmed the proposed sensor provided reliable distance reading of all the specimens over the required measurement range (150-1500 mm) with a measurement resolution of 4% overall and 1% at 1 meter, regardless of illumination conditions.

The study was designed to assess the zinc nutritional status by gestational age of pregnant women visiting in public health centers in Ulsan. The subjects were divided into 3 trimester by last menstrual period(LMP). Interview for dietary zinc intake and general characteristics of each subjects was given and biochemical analysis of blood and urine was performed. Serum zinc concentration and urinary zinc excretion were analyzed by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, and alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity was analyzed by Bowers & McComb\\`s method with Schimadzu automatic analyser. Also urinary creatinine was analyzed by Hawk\\`s method. Mean intake of zinc was 6.61${\pm}$1.57mg and did not meet the RDA(44.1% of RDA) for pregnant women by gestational age. Zn intake of 3rd trimester was significantly increased but dietary zinc was almost supplied with cereal and grain (47.30%) which were reported with low zinc availability due to phytate. Mean concentration of serum Zn in 1st trimester was 86.4${\pm}$10.5$\mu\textrm{g}$/dl, was 72.4${\pm}$10.3$\mu\textrm{g}$/dl in trimester and 65.1${\pm}$10.8$\mu\textrm{g}$/dl in 3rd trimester and was declined significantly by gestational age during pregnancy. In was concluded that a decline in serum Zn by gestional age was not influenced by amount of Zn intake. However ALP activity and urinary zinc excretion increased significantly by gestational age. Zinc nutritional status of pregnant women was not confirmed yet due to the physiological changes during pregnancy. However, the pregnant woman may be in a marginal zinc deficient status because of low amount of Zn intake and low bioavailability of Zn from dietary sources.

적응 전송 MIMO(multiple input multiple output)-OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 시스템은 CSI(channel state information)의 되먹임을 이용하여 각 부반송파의 채널 상황에 따라 변조 방식을 다르게 전송하는 시스템이다. CSI 되먹임 채널인 상향링크 채널에는 송수신기 처리지연, 전송 지연, 프레임 지연 등 다중 지연 요소가 존재한다. 이러한 다중 지연요소로 인한 CSI 불일치는 채널 상황에 따라 적절한 변조 방식을 결정하는데 오류를 발생시키게 되어 시스템 성능을 떨어트린다. 본 논문에서는 적응 시스템에 내장되는 다중 지연 채널 예측 방식인 CTSBP(comb type samples based prediction)와 BTSBP(block type samples based prediction)에 대해 전송 지연 및 채널 신호 대 잡음비에 따른 MSE (mean square error), 데이터 율 등 성능을 비교한다. 이를 통하여 악조건 다중경로 채널환경에 강건한 적응 전송 SISO(single input single output)-OFDM/MIMO-OFDM을 설계한다. 또한 CSI 되먹임 오버헤드를 줄이기 위한 방안으로 선형보간 방법을 제안하고 선형 보간 간격에 따른 MSE를 도출한다.

We present a novel 3D fabrication method with single X-ray process utilizing an X-ray mask in which a micro-actuator is integrated. An X-ray absorber is electroplated on the shuttle mass driven by the integrated micro-actuator during deep X-ray exposures. 3D microstructures are revealed by development kinetics and modulated in-depth dose distribution in resist, usually PMMA. Fabrication of X-ray masks with integrated electrothermal xy-stage and electrostatic actuator is presented along with discussions on PMMA development characteristics. Both devices use $20-\mu\textrm{m}$-thick overhanging single crystal Si as a structural material and fabricated using deep reactive ion etching of silicon-on-insulator wafer, phosphorous diffusion, gold electroplating, and bulk micromachining process. In electrostatic devices, $10-\mu\textrm{m}-thick$ gold absorber on $1mm{\times}1mm$ Si shuttle mass is supported by $10-\mu\textrm{m}-wide$, 1-mm-long suspension beams and oscillated by comb electrodes during X-ray exposures. In electrothermal devices, gold absorber on 1.42 mm diameter shuttle mass is oscillated in x and y directions sequentially by thermal expansion caused by joule heating of the corresponding bent beam actuators. The fundamental frequency and amplitude of the electrostatic devices are around 3.6 kHz and $20\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively, for a dc bias of 100 V and an ac bias of 20 VP-P (peak-peak). Displacements in x and y directions of the electrothermal devices are both around $20{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$at 742 mW input power. S-shaped and conical shaped PMMA microstructures are demonstrated through X-ray experiments with the fabricated devices.

본 논문에서는 다중 안테나 OFDM 기반의 최대 200Mbps급 차세대 무선 LAN 시스템의 프리엠블 구조와 이를 이용한 동기/채널 추정 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 프리엠블 구조를 사용할 경우 IEEE 802.11a 시스템과의 하위 호환성을 유지할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 동기 측면에서는 안테나 다이버시티(diversity) 이득으로 인해 단일 안테나 OFDM 시스템에 비해 우수한 성능을 얻을 수 있다. 또한 채널 추정 측면에서는 프리엠블의 오버헤드가 적고, 기존의 채널 추정 기법들을 적용할 경우 발생하는 시간 동기 오차에 의한 성능 저하를 주파수 영역에서의 위상 보정을 통해 최소화할 수 있다. 제안된 프리엠블 구조를 이용한 동기 및 채널 추정단은 Verilog HDL을 이용하여 하드웨어로 설계 및 검증되었으며, 그 결과 4개의 전송 안테나와 4개의 수신 안테나를 갖는 경우 동기단은 약 150K gates, 채널 추정단은 약 12K gates가 소요되었다.
