This paper describes a simple delay diversity technique for terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) and digital audio broadcasting in a single-frequency network (SFN). For the diversity technique, a delay diversity scheme is adopted. In the delay diversity scheme, a non-delayed signal is transmitted in the first antenna, and delayed versions of the signal are transmitted in each additional antenna. For an SFN environment with multiple transmitters, delay diversity can be executed by controlling the emission times of the transmitters. This SFN delay diversity scheme does not require any hardware changes in either the transmitter or receiver, and perfect backward compatibility can be acquired. To evaluate the performance improvement, laboratory tests are executed with various types of commercial T-DMB receivers as well as a measurement receiver. The improvement in the bit error rate performance is evaluated using a measurement receiver, and an improvement of the threshold of visibility value is evaluated for commercial receivers. Test results show that the T-DMB system can obtain diversity gain using the described technique.

In this paper, a terrestrial transmission system is proposed for the next generation digital television (DTV) system by applying a hybrid multi-input multi-output (MIMO) technology based on linear dispersion codes (LDCs). The digital video broadcasting-2nd generation terrestrial (DVB-T2) system adopted a space time block code (STBC) for improving receive performance. However, the data rate of STBC is not increased in proportion to the transmitter. The hybrid STBC scheme utilizes several STBC transmission blocks for increasing data rate. It is possible to increase the data rate and performance in the receiver by utilizing LDC. The performances of the proposed and conventional hybrid STBC schemes are evaluated through computer simulations.

Due to a development of a modem technology as Power Line Communication(PLC) over 200 Mbps, the high-speed multi-media data trasmission could be currently possible. The strength of the PLC has no more additional wiring work. PLC has also possible to high quality data transmission with currently electrical cable. It has a various strong point campare with existing wire and wireless communication technologies. In This paper we develop a high quality media transmitter-receiver based on merging the HomePlug AV, which is 200 Mbps class PLC technology and HDMI Interface technology. The video function was used for the VEDEO TEST GENERATOR in order to a property valuation. Smart Live 6 software were used for the assessment of audio property. As the result of measurement of the HD class images by capturing from the receiver of the PLC, the quality of images couldn't be confirm any deterioration, which has compared with original reflections. In case of audio part as the result of confirmation of the Phase, Magnitude, it has been confirmed that over 90% of nomal transmition and receiving of acoustic signal. It can be possible to have HD class Media service through the PLC.

The development of a digital signal processor based prototype is described in relation to continuing efforts for realizing a fully self-contained active sensor system utilizing impedance-based structural health monitoring. The impedance method utilizes a piezoelectric material bonded to the structure under observation to act as both an actuator and sensor. By monitoring the electrical impedance of the piezoelectric material, insights into the health of the structured can be inferred. The active sensing system detailed in this paper interrogates a structure utilizing a self-sensing actuator and a low cost impedance method. Here, all the data processing, storage, and analysis is performed at the sensor location. A wireless transmitter is used to communicate the current status of the structure. With this new low cost, field deployable impedance analyzer, reliance on traditional expensive, bulky, and power consuming impedance analyzers is no longer necessary. A complete power analysis of the prototype is performed to determine the validity of power harvesting being utilized for self-containment of the hardware. Experimental validation of the prototype on a representative structure is also performed and compared to traditional methods of damage detection.

In the satellite camera, the incoming light source is converted to electronic analog signals by the electronic component for example CCD (Charge Coupled Device) detectors. The analog signals are amplified, biased and converted into digital signals (pixel data stream) in the video processor (A/Ds). The outputs of the A/Ds are digitally multiplexed and driven out using differential line drivers (two pairs of wires) for cross strap requirement. The MSC (Multi-Spectral Camera) in the KOMPSAT-2 which is a LEO spacecraft will be used to generate observation imagery data in two main channels. The MSC is to obtain data for high-resolution images by converting incoming light from the earth into digital stream of pixel data. The video data outputs are then MUXd, converted to 8 bit bytes, serialized and transmitted to the NUC (Non-Uniformity Correction) module by the Hotlink data transmitter. In this paper, the video data streams, the video data format, and the image data processing routine for satellite camera are described in terms of satellite camera control hardware. The advanced satellite with very high resolution requires faster and more complex image data chain than this algorithm. So, the effective change of the used image data chain and the fast video data transmission method are discussed in this paper

In this paper, we present a countermeasure for a various trouble occurred in secure communication of document image. We Propose a security system for transmission of document image using mixing algorithm that the third party cannot conceive secure transmission of information instead of existing scheme which depend on crypto-degree of security algorithm, itself. For this, RM, DM and RDM algorithm for mixing of secure bits are proposed and applied to digital signature for mixing for secure document and mixing for non-secure document by secure document. Security system for document image involves not only security scheme for document image transmission itself, but also digital signature scheme. The transmitter embeds secretly the signatures onto secure document, embeds it to non-secure document and transfers it to the receiver. The receiver makes a check of any forgery on the signature and the document. Because the total amount of transmitted data and the image quality are about the same to those of the original document image, respectively, the third party cannot notice the fact that signatures and secure document are embedded on the document image. Thus, the probability of attack will be reduced.

본 논문에서는 지상파 디지털 방송시스템의 단일 주파수망 (SFN; Single Frequency Network) 구성을 위해 DTV (Digital Television) TxID (Transmitter Identification)용 저간섭 ZCD (Zero Correlation Duration) 확산코드를 제시하였다. ZCD 확산코드는 코드발생기의 구현이 용이함과 동시에 ZCD특성을 가짐으로 인해서, TxID에서 발생되는 인접코드 간섭 (ICI; Inter Code Interference) 및 다중경로 간섭 (MPI; Multi-Path Interference) 문제를 확산코딩기법을 이용하여 근원적으로 해결해주는 역할을 하고 있으며, 주기를 가변적으로 조절할 수 있어 TxID를 위한 워터마킹 (Watermarking)시에 발생하는 Truncated error를 제거할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) 잡음 및 ICI, MPI와 같은 다양한 간섭환경을 모의실험에 반영하여 도출된 DER (Detection Error Rate)특성을 분석함으로써, TxID용 저간섭 ZCD 확산코드의 유용성을 입증하였다.

In this paper we applied a transmit beamforming technique to the underwater acoustic communication system for high rate data transmission. A prototype transmit system was designed and implemented with the general purpose DSP processor and multiple digital-to-analog converters. The performances of the implemented system were evaluated by the experiment in water tank. In order to simplify the procedure the channel coding and equalizer were omitted. And the simplest OOK (On-Off Keying) technique in digital communication methods was applied. The experimental result shows that the transmission data rate is higher about 3 times in the case of 5 hydrophone transmitting may than 1 hydrophone transmitter at bit error rate 10/sup -2/. We verified that the maximum data rate was 400 bps for speech signal transmission in water tank.
