Capacitive-type humidity sensors with a high sensitivity and fast response/recovery times have attracted a great attention in non-contact respiration biological signal monitoring applications. However, complicated fabrication processes involving high-temperature heat treatment for the hygroscopic film is essential in the conventional ceramic-based humidity sensors. In this study, a non-toxic ceramic/metal halide (BaTiO₃(BT)/NaCl) humidity sensor was prepared at room temperature using a solvent-free aerosol deposition process (AD) without any additional process. Currently prepared BT/NaCl humidity sensor shows an excellent sensitivity (245 pF/RH%) and superior response/recovery times (3s/4s) due to the NaCl ionization effect resulting in an immense interfacial polarization. Furthermore, the non-contact respiration signal variation using the BT/NaCl sensor was determined to be over 700% by maintaining the distance of 20 cm between the individual and the sensor. Through the AD-fabricated sensor in this study, we expect to develop a non-contact biological signal monitoring system that can be applied to various fields such as respiratory disease detection and management, infant respiratory signal observation, and touchless skin moisture sensing button.

압축센싱은 성긴 (sparse) 신호에 대해 Nyquist rate 미만의 샘플링으로도 신호 획득이 가능하다는 것을 수학적으로 증명한 새로운 개념이다. 그동안 영상분야 압축센싱을 위한 수많은 복원 알고리즘들이 제안되어 왔으나, 낮은 측정률 하에서는 복원 화질 측면에서 아직 개선할 점이 많다. 일례로, 자연 영상의 압축센싱 복원 화질 향상을 위해, 영상과 관련한 사전 정보들로부터 정규화 식을 도출하여 복원에 적용해 볼 수 있을 것이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 Dantzig selector 및 평활 필터(가우시안 필터 및 nonlocal 평균 필터)기반의 평활 잔차 오류 정규화 방법을 제안한다. 또한, 복원 영상의 객체 및 배경에서 발생하는 edge 정보를 우수하게 보전하는 것으로 알려진 Total variation 기반 최소화 알고리즘에 적용하여 복원 영상의 화질을 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 구조는 잔차신호의 평활화를 활용한다는 측면에서 새로운 압축센싱 복원 방식이라고 할 수 있다. 실험 결과, 제안방법은 기존 방법들에 비해 객관적 및 주관적 화질 측면에서 더 높은 성능 향상을 보여주었으며, 특히 기존 Bayesian 압축센싱 복원 방식과 비교 시 최대 9.14 dB 성능이 향상되었다.

This paper has been studied the design of 16-QAM demodulator used in broadband wireless local loop subscriber station. In B-WLL systems, transmission signal experience the inter symbol interference(ISI) due to multipath, frequency offset of RF/IF local oscillator and phase offset. In this paper, we discuss the effective data recovery algorithm for 16-QAM demodulator to compensate the distorted signal from ISI, frequency offset and phase offset.

본 논문에서는 기존의 칼라 항상성(color constancy) 알고리즘을 기반으로 한 새로운 영상 복원 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 인간의 시각 특성을 선형 모델로 표현한 칼라 항상성 모델을 이용한다. 칼라 항상성 모델에서 가장 중요한 과정은 영상의 광원을 추정하는 것이다. 이론 위하여 영상에서 명도 값이 가장 큰 화소의 값을 이용하며, 이 값을 각 수광체(photoreceptor)의 응답으로 대체한다. 추정된 광원을 이용하여 만들어진 영상을 일정한 비율로 스케일링하여 영상을 복원한다. 실험을 통하여 제안한 항법으로 영상 복원이 잘 됨을 알 수 있었다.

In Visible Light Communication (VLC) system, with the limitation of transmission range and Field Of View (FOV), LOS (Line of Sight) link between two transceivers should be guaranteed due to the straightness of the visible-light signal. Especially for indoor applications, link recovery is an advantage method to remain the link connection because of the link failure in which caused by movement obstacle. Link recovery schemes try to keep link dynamically without re-initialing connection. This article proposes a new link recover scheme for VLC system by using cooperative communication. Our propose scheme focuses on the QoS reservation resource by GTS in IEEE 802.15.7 specification in which the requested QoS resource from client should be guarantee during the application time. With the link recovery scheme, we will try to continue the link connection as long as possible when unexpected disconnect link. The mathematical analysis and simulation results show that proposed scheme increases the overall reliability of the VLC system.

T1, T2강조영상, FLAIR (fluid attenuated inversion recovery) 영상기법은 뇌 MRI의 가장 기본적인 영상기법들이다. T1강조영상은 짧은 TR과 짧은 TE를 이용한 스핀에코 기법으로서 조직의 T1이완시간의 차이를 신호 차이로 반영하는 기법이다. 짧은 TR을 사용하면 조직 간에 종축 자기화의 회복 정도가 크게 차이나게 되며 이를 신호에 반영하는 것이다. T2강조영상은 긴 TR과 긴 TE를 이용한 스핀에코 기법으로서 조직의 T2이완시간의 차이를 신호 차이로 반영하는 기법이다. 긴 TE을 사용하면 조직 간에 횡축 자기화의 붕괴가 크게 차이나게 되며 이를 신호에 반영하는 것이다. FLAIR는 180도 반전펄스를 먼저 가하는 반전회복 (inversion recovery) 기법의 일종으로서 뇌척수액의 신호를 억제하기 위하여 2500 msec 정도의 반전시간을 적용한다.

This paper presents an indoor prototype for wireless digital signal transmission using Visible Light Communications (VLC) in which high power Light Emitting Diode (LED) is used. Using low cost and off-the-shelf components, the transmitter module is constructed using an AVR Atmega128 microcontroller and commercial white beam LEDs. Modulating the light intensity of the LED enables digital signals to be transmitted across the optical link. The receiver module employs a high speed PIN photodetector for optical signal detection and a recovery circuit for optical-electro signal conversion. By sending digitalized data via VLC technology, many applications can be realized in the areas of consumer advertising, traffic safety information and disaster control.

The problem of model selection arises in a number of contexts, such as subset selection in linear regression, estimation of structures in graphical models, and signal denoising. This paper studies non-asymptotic model selection for the general case of arbitrary (random or deterministic) design matrices and arbitrary nonzero entries of the signal. In this regard, it generalizes the notion of incoherence in the existing literature on model selection and introduces two fundamental measures of coherence-termed as the worst-case coherence and the average coherence-among the columns of a design matrix. It utilizes these two measures of coherence to provide an in-depth analysis of a simple, model-order agnostic one-step thresholding (OST) algorithm for model selection and proves that OST is feasible for exact as well as partial model selection as long as the design matrix obeys an easily verifiable property, which is termed as the coherence property. One of the key insights offered by the ensuing analysis in this regard is that OST can successfully carry out model selection even when methods based on convex optimization such as the lasso fail due to the rank deficiency of the submatrices of the design matrix. In addition, the paper establishes that if the design matrix has reasonably small worst-case and average coherence then OST performs near-optimally when either (i) the energy of any nonzero entry of the signal is close to the average signal energy per nonzero entry or (ii) the signal-to-noise ratio in the measurement system is not too high. Finally, two other key contributions of the paper are that (i) it provides bounds on the average coherence of Gaussian matrices and Gabor frames, and (ii) it extends the results on model selection using OST to low-complexity, model-order agnostic recovery of sparse signals with arbitrary nonzero entries. In particular, this part of the analysis in the paper implies that an Alltop Gabor frame together with OST can successfully carry out model selection and recovery of sparse signals irrespective of the phases of the nonzero entries even if the number of nonzero entries scales almost linearly with the number of rows of the Alltop Gabor frame.

Triply encoded HTIS(hadamard transform imaging spectrometer) is a system which applies the grill spectrometer to the HTIS. we consider a nonideality of mask transparent characteristic in estimating spectrum. Triply encoded system increases the SNR(signal to noise ration) by multiplexing effect. In this paper, we suggest an advanced $T^{-1}$ method for spectrum recovery. Then, we proved the superiority of the suggested method by comparing the average MSE(mean square error) of the other recovery methods.

A multiphase clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit having a novel rotational bang-bang phase detector (RBBPD) is demonstrated. The proposed 1/4-rate RBBPD decides the locking point using a single clock phase among sequentially rotating 4 clock phases. With this, our RBBPD has significantly reduced power consumption and chip area. A prototype 10-Gb/s 1/4-rate CDR with RBBPD is successfully realized in 65-nm CMOS technology. The CDR consumes 5.5 mW from 1-V supply and the clock signal recovered from $2^{31}-1$ PRBS input data has 0.011-UI rms jitter.
