A demand for spectrum resources, especially in the low frequency bands, is ever increasing with the development of mobile telecommunications and so is their economic value as other national resources. Also, development in mobile broadband require more bandwidth with excellent propagation characteristics, such as those frequencies in the 700/800/900 MHz bands. As a way to enhance the economic efficiency of using spectrum resources, many countries including the U.S., the U.K. and Japan, have recently focused on the refarming plan of the low frequency bands according to the transition from analogue to digital TV. By the way, as a result of WRC-07, those parts of the band $698{\sim}960\;MHz$ in Region 2 and the band $790{\sim}960\;MHz$ in Regions 1 and 3 which are allocated to the mobile service on a primary basis are identified for use by administrations wishing to implement International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT). Therefore, after analogue to digital television switchover, some administrations may decide to use all or parts of the band $698{\sim}806/862\;MHz$ for other services to which the band is allocated on a primary basis, in particular the mobile service for the implementation of IMT, while in other countries the broadcasting service will continue to operate in that band. And to conclude, bands already identified for IMT-2000 will also be able to be used for IMT. This work will help establish a policy direction for spectrum refarming in the low frequency bands in Korea(Rep. of).

본 논문에서는 화산 분출 초저음파의 식별을 위해서 FSPNNC(Frequency Sub-bands Parallel Neural NetworkClassification)을 선택한다. FSPNNC 는 각기 다른 주파수 영역에서 독립적으로 추출한 특징벡터를 병렬 구조의 신경망에 학습하는 구조를 가지며 하나의 신경망은 하나의 분류 및 하나의 주파수 부대역만을 학습하고 다른 신경망들은 해당 특징벡터를 분류하지 않도록 학습된다. 실험은 단일 신경망 및 PNNCB(Parallel Neural Network Classifier Bank)와의 비교실험을 통하여 식별 성능을 제시한다.

Speech Signals consist of signals of consonants and vowels, but the lasting time of vowels is much longer than that of consonants. It can be assumed that the correlations between signal blocks in speech signal is very high. But the correlations between signal blocks in various frequency bands can be quite different. Each speech signal is divided into blocks which have 128 speech data. FFT is applied to each block. Various frequency areas of the results of FFT are taken and Covariance matrix between blocks in a speech signal is extracted and finally eigenvalues of those matrix are obtained. It is studied that in the eigenvalues of various frequency bands which band can be used to get more reliable result.

Absorbers such as porous materials and panels have limited absorption characteristics to some frequency bands. There is a need for absorbers with high absorption coefficients in a wide frequency ranges to make good response of room acoustics. This is almost impossible for a single absorption material. Composite absorption structure with cover, porous material. and air gap is known to have those wide frequency characteristics. In this basis. various composite absorption structures are measured and investigated as wide range absorption structures. Measurements are performed according to an international standard, ISO 354. Various surface types such as wooden slits, wood/steel perforated panels are selected as surface covers, and also various porous materials such as polyurethanes, polyesters, and glasswools are used inside the covers. Result shows that the area of void parts of surface materials is critical to high frequency absorptions, and thickness of air gaps are critical factor of the peak absorptions of low frequency bands.

A small microstrip monopole antenna for macro-micro frequency tuning over multiple bands is presented. The meander-shape antenna is fabricated on a conventional printed circuit board(FR-4, $\varepsilon_r=4.4$ and tan $\delta=0.02$). The antenna operates over WiBro(2.3~2.4 GHz) and WLAN a/b(2.4~2.5 GHz/5.15~5.35 GHz) service bands with an essentially constant antenna gain within each service band. Two diodes, a PIN diode and a varactor, are embedded into the antenna for frequency reconfiguration. The PIN diode is used for frequency switching(macro-tuning) between 2 GHz and 5 GHz bands while the varactor is used for frequency tuning(micro-tuning) within the service bands, 2.3~2.5 GHz and 5.15~5.35 GHz. Unwanted resonances between the two frequency bands(2 GHz and 5 GHz) are suppressed by filling up the gaps between the meander lines. The antenna gain is essentially constant and higher than 2 dBi within each service band. The measured performance of the proposed antenna system suggests the macro-micro frequency tuning techniques be useful in reconfigurable wireless communication systems.

In this paper, attempts have been made to compare the subjective performance of sub-band coding (SBC) techniques incorporating four representative modulation transfer functions (MTF's) of th human visual system(HVS): Sakrison, Nill, Ngan, and Rao. In SBC, the frequency band of input signal is split into 16 equal sub-bands. In addition, 28 sub-band splitting schemd which splits more sub-bands in low spatial frequency is considered to compare the 4 MTF's effectively. In encoding of each sub-band, the weight of each sub-band obtained from the MTF of HVS is applied to bit allocation process which minimize the weighted mean square error (WMSE). The differential pulse code modulation(DPCM) coder is used to encode the lowest sub-band and the pulse code modulation(PCM) coder is used for the rest of sub-bands. It is found that the images incorporating the MTF of Rao yields the best results in subjective criteria, followed by Ngan, Nill, Sakrison, and the images not employing the HVS.

Structural changes of cellulosic fibres during the papermaking process were studied by analysis of FTIR spectra collected by the transmission method. The spectra were obtained from a carefully prepared handsheet, using a special infra-red (IR) cell suitable for evacuating the sample. The deconvolution technique was also applied for sharpening the FTIR spectra in the frequency range of the OH and CH stretching bands, which gave detailed information on the structural changes of cellulose. The intensity of some bands was decreased by predrying the sample as a result of the removal of adsorbed moisture. An increase in intensity of some bands in the frequency range of 3700 to $3200cm^{-1}$ was shown at a higher beating level. This increase in intensity was caused by changes in the crystal domain of cellulose resulting from the exposure of the crystalline area on the fibre surface.

In this paper, we propose a learning-based super-resolution algorithm. In the proposed algorithm, a multi-resolution wavelet approach is adopted to perform the synthesis of local high-frequency features. To obtain a high-resolution image, wavelet coefficients of two dominant LH- and HL-bands are estimated based on wavelet frames. In order to prepare more efficient training sets, the proposed algorithm utilizes the LH-band and transposed HL-band. The training sets are then used for the estimation of wavelet coefficients for both LH- and HL-bands. Using the estimated high frequency bands, a high resolution image is reconstructed via the wavelet transform. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can synthesize high-quality images.

Partial high frequency bands were allocated to the operation of ocean surface radars that monitor the sea surface currents and waves in WRC-12. On that basis, government-related organizations revised the table of domestic frequency allocation. In order to study radio environments in the allocated bands for ocean radar, tests of the radio signal spectrum were carried at 7-sites using the receiver of the ocean surface radar system operated with a shutdown of the transmitter for 10-60 min. The results showed that no serious radio noises occur at 25 and 43 MHz bands, indicating a good radio environment for the ocean surface radar operation. However, at 13 MHz band, it was difficult to generate stable and confidential data from the ocean surface radar because serious radio noises occurred continuously.

One of the most remarkable aspects of the recently completed 3GPP release-15 (5G new radio phase 1) is the fact that some millimeter-wave bands have been officially approved for 5G mobile communications. Because the demand for higher transmission capacity has only grown, other millimeter-wave or even higher-frequency terahertz-wave bands have attracted more attention over time. Based on this effort, this paper reviews and discusses the existing technologies and their trends in high-frequency circuits and systems at the millimeter and terahertz-wave bands, particularly for future mobile communications.
