STSAT-2 is first satellite which is scheduled to launch by first Korea launcher. After launch Ground station Baseband Controller(GBC) for operating STSAT-2 is now developing. GBC control data flow path between satellite operation computers and ground station antennas. and GBC count number of received data packets among demodulated audio signals from three antennas and set data flow path to good-receiving antenna automatically. In GBC two uplink FSK modulators(1.2kbps, 9.6kbps) and six downlink FSK demodulators(9.6kbps, 38.4kbps) are embedded. STSAT-2 GBC hardware is more simpler than STSAT-1 GBC by using FPGA in which all digital logic implemented. Now test and debugging of GBC hardware and Software(FPGA Code and GBC Manager Program) is well progressing in SaTReC, KAIST. This paper introduce GBC structure, functions and test results.

In 0.18 $\mu \textrm m$ LOGIC device, the etch rate of NMOS polysilicons is different from that of PMOS polysilicons due to the state of polysilicon to manufacture gate line. To control the etch profile, we tested the ratio of $Cl_2$/HBr gas and the total chamber pressure, and also we reduced Back He pressure to get the vertical profile. In the case of manufacturing the gate photoresist line, we used Bottom Anti-Reflective Coating (BARC) to protect refrection of light. As a result we found that $CF_4O_2$ gas is good to etch BARC, because of high selectivity and good photoresist line profile after etching BARC. in the results of the characterization of plasma damage to the antenna effect of gate oxide, NO type thin film(growing gate oxide in 0, ambient followed by an NO anneal) is better than wet type thin film(growing gate oxide in $0_2+H_2$ ambient).

In this paper, a state assignment algorithm was proposed to reduce power consumption in control-flow oriented finite state machines. The Markov chain model is used to reduce the switching activities, which closely relate with dynamic power dissipation in VLSI circuits. Based on the Markov probabilistic description model of finite state machines, the hamming distance between the codes of neighbor states was minimized. To express the switching activities, the cost function, which also accounts for the structure of a machine, is used. The proposed state assignment algorithm is tested with Logic Synthesis Benchmarks, and reduced the cost up to 57.42% compared to the Lakshmikant's algorithm.

Thin film electronic devices which brought the current mobile environment could be fabricated only under the high quality vacuum conditions provided by high vacuum systems. Especially for the development of advanced thin film devices, constant high quality vacuum as the deposition pressure is definitely needed. For this purpose, the variable conductance throttle valves were employed to the high vacuum system. In this study, the effects of throttle valve applications on vacuum characteristics were simulated to obtain the optimum design modelling of variable conductance of high vacuum system. Commercial simulator of vacuum system, $VacSim^{(multi)}$, was used on this investigation. Reliability of employed simulator was verified by the simulation of the commercially available models of high vacuum system. Simulated vacuum characteristics of the proposed modelling were agreed with the observed experimental behaviour of real systems. Pressure limit valve and normally on-off control valve were schematized as the modelling of throttle valve for the constant process-pressure of below $10^{-3}torr$. Simulation results were plotted as pump down curve of chamber, variable valve conductance and conductance logic of throttle valve. Simulated behaviors showed the applications of throttle valve sustained the process-pressure constantly, stably, and reliably.

In this paper, we designed FFT for European DTV and implemented system with Stratix EP1S25F672C6 FPGA At the implemented FFT, we used SIC architecture. SIC architecture is composed of algorithm-specific processing element, RAM memory, registers, and a central or distributed control unit. Designed FFT was acceptable either 2K or 8K point FFT processing, and is selectable guard interval such as 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32. Consequently, it was suitable for the standard of DVB-T(Digital Terrestrial Video Transmission System) specification. It resulted in 12% of total logic gate and 53% of total memory bit in Stratix device.

HIGHT is an 64-bit block cipher, which is suitable for low power and ultra-light implementation that are used in the network that needs the consideration of security aspects. This paper presents a key scheduler that employs the presented LFSR and reverse LFSR that can generate four outputs simultaneously. In addition, we construct new key scheduler that generates 4 subkey bytes at a clock since each round block requires 4 subkey bytes at a time. Thus, the entire HIGHT processor can be controlled by single system clock with regular control mechanism. We synthesize the HIGHT processor using the VHDL. From the synthesis results, the logic size of the presented key scheduler can be reduced as 9% compared to the counterpart that is employed in the conventional HIGHT processor.

This work proposes the wearable and intelligent system to control mobile vehicle instead of user. The system having the ability of assistance as well as portable can be applied to various controller. It is possible to observe the state of mobile vehicle and have a good command of robot instead of human. In this paper, the wearable system operating the mobile vehicle by deciding the velocity and rotation angle that are demanded for collision avoidance with the obtained driving information from mobile vehicle is implemented. To make the proposed wearable system have an intelligence, the hierarchical fuzzy logic and neural network are used.

Silicon nitride films grown by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) are useful for a variety of applications, including anti-reflecting coatings in solar cells, passivation layers, dielectric layers in metal/insulator structures, and diffusion masks. PECVD systems are controlled by many operating variables, including RF power, pressure, gas flow rate, reactant composition, and substrate temperature. The wide variety of processing conditions, as well as the complex nature of particle dynamics within a plasma, makes tailoring SiN film properties very challenging, since it is difficult to determine the exact relationship between desired film properties and controllable deposition conditions. In this study, SiN PECVD modeling using optimized neural networks has been investigated. The deposition of SiN was characterized via a central composite experimental design, and data from this experiment was used to train and optimize feed-forward neural networks using the back-propagation algorithm. From these neural process models, the effect of deposition conditions on film properties has been studied. A recipe synthesis (optimization) procedure was then performed using the optimized neural network models to generate the necessary deposition conditions to obtain several novel film qualities including high charge density and long lifetime. This optimization procedure utilized genetic algorithms, hybrid combinations of genetic algorithm and Powells algorithm, and hybrid combinations of genetic algorithm and simplex algorithm. Recipes predicted by these techniques were verified by experiment, and the performance of each optimization method are compared. It was found that the hybrid combinations of genetic algorithm and simplex algorithm generated recipes produced films of superior quality.

With the development of industry, more large-scale non-linear loads are added to existing power systems and they cause the serious power quality (PQ) problems to the nearby sensitive installations more and more. To protect the important loads and mitigate the impact of PQ disturbances on them, various compensating devices are installed. One of the most important control skills used in the compensating equipment at the load side is how fast they can recognize or detect the discontinuous abnormal PQ events from the normal voltage signal. This paper deals with two estimation methods for the fast detection and tracking of general PQ disturbances: Teager Energy Operator (TEO), which is a non-linear operator and used for a short time energy calculation, and Kalman Filter (KF), which is one of the most universally used estimation techniques. And it is also shown how to apply the TEO and the KF to detect the PQ disturbances such as voltage sag, swell, interruption, harmonics and voltage fluctuation.

In this paper, we address fault detection observer design problem of T-S fuzzy systems with sensor fault. To detect fault, T-S fuzzy model-based observer is used. By introducing $\mathfrak{H}$_ performance index, an observer is designed as sensitive to fault as possible. The fault is then detected by a fault decision logic. The design conditions are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities. An illustrative example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed fault detection technique.
