HD ProjectionTV에서 CRT의 전자총 및 투영되는 스크린 상에서의 빔 프로파일에 의한 화질의 열화를 개선시키기 위한 방법으로는 영상신호의 진폭 변화량에 따라 수평 편향 속도를 선형적으로 변조시키는 SVM(Scan Velocity Modulation)방식이 있다. 그런데, 선형 SVM방식에서의 화질 개선은 입력 영상신호의 진폭변화에 대해 균일하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 HD Projection TV에서의 빔 프로파일의 특성을 분석하여 모델링하고, 고역의 HD 신호가 입력될 때 SVM효과를 모의실험을 통해 해석하였다. 그리고, 이를 근거로 영상신호에 따라 SVM량을 비선형적으로 조절하는 비선형 SVM방식이 HD Projection TV에서도 필요함을 이론적으로 제시하였다. 이를 바탕으로 SVM 회로를 직접 하드웨어로 제작하여 실제 TV에 장착하여 실험하였다. 실험 결과 영상 신호의 진폭이 작은 영역과 큰 영역의 경계부분에서 발생하는 화질의 열화를 거의 일정하게 개선시킬 수 있음을 확인 하였다.

Multiple LED arrays can be utilized in visible-light communication (VLC) to improve communication efficiency, while maintaining smart illumination functionality through dimming control. This paper proposes a modulation scheme called "Spatial Intensity Modulation" (SIM), where the effective number of turned-on LEDs is employed for data modulation and dimming control in VLC systems. Unlike the conventional pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM), symbol intensity levels are not determined by the amplitude levels of a VLC signal from each LED, but by counting the number of turned-on LEDs, illuminating with a single amplitude level. Because the intensity of a SIM symbol and the target dimming level are determined solely in the spatial domain, the problems of conventional PAM-based VLC and related MIMO VLC schemes, such as unstable dimming control, non uniform illumination functionality, and burdens of channel prediction, can be solved. By varying the number and formation of turned-on LEDs around the target dimming level in time, the proposed SIM scheme guarantees homogeneous illumination over a target area. An analysis of the dimming capacity, which is the achievable communication rate under the target dimming level in VLC, is provided by deriving the turn-on probability to maximize the entropy of the SIM-based VLC system. In addition, a practical design of dimmable SIM scheme applying the multilevel inverse source coding (MISC) method is proposed. The simulation results under a range of parameters provide baseline data to verify the performance of the proposed dimmable SIM scheme and applications in real systems.

Since the carrier sequence is not reproducible in a period of the random carrier pulse width modulation (RCPWM) and a higher harmonic spectrum amplitude is likely to affect the quality of the power supply. In addition, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and mechanical vibration will appear. To solve these problems, this paper has proposed an optimal RCPWM based on a genetic algorithm (GA). In the optimal modulation, the range of the random carrier frequency is taken as a constraint and the reciprocal of the maximum harmonic spectrum amplitude is used as a fitness function to decrease the EMI and mechanical vibration caused by the harmonics concentrated at the carrier frequency and its multiples. Since the problems of the hardware make it difficult to use in practical engineering, this paper has presented a hardware system. Simulations and experiments show that the RCPWM is effective. Studies show that the harmonic spectrum is distributed more uniformly in the frequency domain and that there is no obvious peak in the wave spectra. The proposed method is of great value to research on RCPWM and integrated power systems (IPS).

The purpose of this study was to investigate how the modulation method affects the effectiveness of eliciting tactile sensations by electrical stimulation. Two methods were employed and the results were compared and analyzed; pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) and pulse width modulation (PWM). Thirty-five healthy subjects participated in the experiments to measure the stimulation intensity that began to elicit a tactile sensation - activation threshold (AT). Constant-current monophasic rectangular pulse trains were employed, and the stimulation intensity was varied from zero until the subject felt any uncomfortable sensation. The step size of the stimulation intensity was 100nC/pulse. After each experiment, the subject described the sensation both quantitatively and qualitatively. The two modulation methods did not make a significant difference as far as the AT values were concerned, but most of the subjects showed 'intra-individual' consistency. Also, it was confirmed that our range of the stimulation parameters enabled us to obtain three major tactile sensations; tickling, pressure and vibration. The results suggested that the stimulation parameters and the modulation type should be selected for each individual and that selective electrical stimulation of the mechanoreceptors needs more diversified researches on the electrode design, multi-channel stimulation protocol, waveforms of the pulse train, etc.

This article presents a novel cooperative spectrum sharing (CSS) scheme. The primary transmitter transmits a complex Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signal in the first phase, and CSS occurs in the second phase. The secondary transmitter with the largest forwarding channel gain among the nodes that successfully decode the primary signal in the first phase is selected for CSS. This selected node employs a pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) signal for primary information message (IM) instead of the QAM signal, and it employs a modified PAM signal for the secondary IM. The proposed modified PAM signal depends on the amplitude of the primary PAM signal. This method results in no mutual interference and negligible primary interference constraint and allows a higher degree of exploitation of spatial diversity, thus enabling increase in secondary power to improve primary transmission. The outage performance is enhanced in both the primary and secondary systems. The critical region, in which the primary outage performance is enhanced with the proposed CSS scheme, can be adjusted and widened by varying either the modulation cooperation sharing factor or the number of secondary transmitters.

본 논문은 마이크로프로세서를 이용하여 구현하는 전파브리지 인버터의 새로운 PWM 제어 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 단방향 전파 브리지 인버터의 한 주기를 주파수 변조비로 등간격 분할하고 기준 기본파와 인버터의 출력 기본파의 진폭을 비교하는 PWM 제어 방법이다. 이 방법을 이용하면 각 간격의 turn-on time 계산이 매우 용이하여 마이크로프로세서 구현에 매우 적합하다. 그리고, 고조파 해석에 있어서 주파수 변조비가 크면 모든 고조파를 무시할 수 있음을 보여준다 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 타당성을 입증하였다.

In this paper, space voltage vector pulsewidth modulation for 2-phase inverter is proposed. When this method is appled to 2-phase induction motor, the phase difference of voltage between phase A and B is fixed at $90^{\circ}$and amplitude of voltage of phase Ais same with that of phase B. This method have advantages over low-power servo system because this is simple method comparing to 3-phase space vector method which requires d-q transform.

A CMOS driving circuit for active matrix type polymer electroluminescent displays was designed to develop an on-chip microdisplay on the single crystal silicon wafer substrate. The driving circuit is a conventional structure that is composed of the row, column and pixel driving parts. 256 gray scales were implemented using pulse amplitude modulation method. The 2-transistor driving scheme was adopted for the pixel driving part. The layout was carried out considering the compatibility with the standard CMOS process. Judging from the layout of the driving circuit, it turns that it is possible to implement a high-resolution display about 400 ppi resolution. Through the HSPICE simulation, it was verified that this circuit is capable of driving a VGA signal mode display and implementing 256 gray levels.

본 논문은 기존 DFT-s-SSB(Discrete Fourier Transform spread Single Sideband) OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템이 가지는 문제점을 해결하는 개선된 DFT-s-SSB OFDM 시스템을 제안한다. 기존 DFT-s-SSB 시스템은 SSB 변조를 적용하기 위하여 PAM(Pulse Amplitude Modulation) 변조를 사용한다. 때문에 변조레벨이 높아질수록 BER(Bit Error Rate) 성능열화가 심각해진다. 그리고 오직 LSB(Lower Sideband) 스펙트럼을 통해서만 송신이 가능하며 LSB와 USB(Upper Sideband) 스펙트럼을 동시에 사용하여 송신하는 경우, 간섭이 발생하고 스펙트럼 복구가 올바르게 이루어지지 않는다. 제안하는 시스템은 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 2/3 convolution coding을 적용하여 BER 성능을 개선하고 DFT 크기를 조절하고 USB 스펙트럼을 선택하는 방법을 제시하여 남은 스펙트럼 자원을 이용할 수 있도록 한다. 또한 다중사용자를 지원하는 환경 혹은 제한적인 대역폭을 갖는 환경에서 이 시스템을 이용하는 경우 스펙트럼을 절반만 사용하기 때문에 남은 스펙트럼 자원을 이용할 수 있고 스펙트럼 효율을 향상시킬 수 있다.

This article proposes a spectrum sharing method which can avoid the mutual interference in both primary and secondary systems. The two systems make them a priority to use two single-dimension orthogonal signals, the real and imaginary pulse amplitude modulation signals, if the primary system is not in outage with this use. A secondary transmitter is selected to be the primary relay and the active secondary source to perform this. This allows a simultaneous spectrum access without any mutual interference. Otherwise, the primary system attempts to use a full two-dimensional signal, the quadrature amplitude modulation signal. If there is no outage with respect to this use, the secondary spectrum access is not allowed. When both of the previous attempts fail, the secondary system is allowed to freely use the spectrum two whole time slots. The analysis and simulation are provided to analyze the outage performance and they validate the considerable improvement of the proposed method as compared to the conventional one.
