본 논문은 3D-HDTV 지상파 방송을 위한 분산송신 기반 단일 주파수 방송망 내 송신안테나 위치에 따른 송신신호 전력분포를 분석하였다. 분산송신 기반 단일 주파수 방송망 구조는 하나의 주 송신안테나와 3개의 부 송신 안테나로 구성되어 있어 수신기가 방송망 내 어느 위치에 있더라도 최소 2개 이상의 송신신호를 수신할 수 있다. 이러한 방송망 구조는 송신 안테나들이 지역적으로 배치되어 있기 때문에 공간 다이버시티를 획득 할 수 있다. 그러나 거리에 따른 송신신호 전력 감쇠 때문에 방송망 내 수신기 위치에 따라 수신 SNR이 변화하게 된다. 시스템 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 단일 주파수 방송망 내 송신전력 분포 분석을 통하여 안정적인 데이터 수신율을 보장하기 위해 적용 가능한 데이터 송신기법에 대해 고찰하였다.

AT-DMB의 향상계층은 DQPSK 신호에 BPSK 또는 QPSK 신호를 더하여 변조하는 계층변조 방식을 사용하였기 때문에 수신기에서 채널 왜곡을 보상해야 신호의 복조가 가능하다. 다중 경로가 많은 지역에서는 주파수 선택적 페이딩이 발생하기 때문에 페이딩을 정확하게 추정하지 못하면 AT-DMB 향상계층 수신 성능이 저하되게 된다. 채널왜곡 추정을 위하여 AT-DMB 수신기에서는 채널추정 값을 스무딩하는 대역제한 필터를 사용한다. AT-DMB의 향상 계층 성능은 이 스무딩 필터의 대역폭에 따라 결정이 되며 적절한 필터 대역을 채널의 지연에 따라 설정해야 한다. 특히 SFN 환경에서는 수신 전력이 큰 둘 이상의 서로 다른 지연시간을 가지면서 수신이 되기 때문에 고정 대역폭 스무딩 필터를 사용한 채널왜곡 추정은 성능의 저하를 가져올 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 채널 지연 값을 추정하고 필터의 대역폭을 가변적으로 결정하는 방법에 대하여 설명하고 실험 결과를 보여준다.

Ferroelectric $Pb(Zr_{1-x}Ti_x)O_3$ (PZT) films were deposited on (001) MgO single crystals using sol-gel method. Structural properties and surface morphologies of PZT films were investigated using an X-ray diffractometer and a scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The dielectric properties of PZT films were investigated with the dc bias field using interdigitated capacitors (IDC) which were fabricated on PZT films using a thick metal layer by photolithography and dry etching process. The small signal dielectric properties of PZT films were calculated by a modified conformal mapping method with low and high frequency data, such as capacitance measured by an impedance gain/phase analyzer at 100 kHz and reflection coefficient (S-parameter) measured by a HP 8510C vector network analyzer at 1 -20 GHz. The IDC on PZT films exhibited about 67% of capacitance change with an electric field of 135 kV/cm at 10 GHz. These PZT thin films can be applied to tunable microwave devices such as phase shifters, tunable resonators and tunable filters.

The characteristics of optical waeguides and IDT electrodes fabricated for acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTE) used for optical communications were analyzed. A $Ti:LiNbO_3$ in-diffusion method was employed for the formation of the optical waveguide with a dimension of width $8\mu\textrm{m}$, length $30000\mu\textrm{m}$, and thickness $1150{\AA}$. The diffusion was carried at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 8 houss to pattern the optical waveguide with Ti. The resulted waveguide exhibited a single mode at a 1550nm wavelength range and its propagation loss was less than 0.5dB/cm. The width of IDT, with 10 SAW periods, was $5000\mu\textrm{m}$, S11 reflection characteristics and impedances of th eelectrodes deposited with Au were analyzed using a network analyzer; $48.1\Omega$ at th ecenter frquency of 193MHz for Au deposition thickness of $1500{\AA}$ and $50.7\Omega$ at the center frequency of 192MHz for au deposition thickness of $1600{\AA}$.

Microwave remote sensing has great potential, especially in monsoon Asia, since optical observations are often hampered by cloudy conditions. The radar backscattering characteristics of rice crop were investigated with a ground-based automatic scatterometer system. The system was installed inside a shelter in an experimental paddy field at the National Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology (NIAST) before transplanting. The rice cultivar was a kind of Japonica type, called Chuchung. The scatterometer system consists of X-band antennas, HP8720D vector network analyzer, RF cables, and a personal computer that controls frequency, polarization and data storage. This system automatically measures fully-polarimatric backscattering coefficients of rice crop every 10 minutes, accompanied by a digital camera that takes pictures in a fixed position with the same interval. The backscattering coefficients were calculated by applying a radar equation. Plant variables, such as leaf area index (LAI), biomass, plant height and weather conditions were measured periodically throughout the rice growth season. We have performed polarimetric decomposition of paddy data such as single, double and volume scattering to extract the scattering information effectively. We investigated the relationships between backscattering coefficients and the plant variables.

In the framework of universal multimedia access, one challenge for video transmission (communication) is to deliver video content through heterogeneous network channels matching the diversity of client devices. As one of the many adaptation methods, media transcoding is commonly considered. Particularly, FD (Frame Dropping)/CD Coefficient Dropping) transcoding is used due to the low computational complexity and simple implementation. In this scheme, CD is simply implemented by truncating the high frequency AC DCT coefficient bits. But, the CD error tends to be propagated within single GOV. In this paper, we derive the distortion relationships between CD error and propagation error, and investigate the error characteristics by computer simulations. The CD error characteristics can be effectively used in the FD/CD transcoding scheme.

This paper proposes a fast-processing and low-cost hardware multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channel emulator. The channel emulator is an important component of hardware-based simulation systems. The novelty of this work is the use of sharing and pipelining functions to reduce hardware resource utilization while maintaining a high sample rate. In our proposed emulator, the samples are created sequentially and interpolated to ensure the sample rate is equal to the base band rate. The proposed 4 × 4 MIMO requires low-cost hardware resource so that it can be implemented on a single field-programmable gate array (FPGA) chip. An implementation on Xilinx Virtex-7 VX980T was found to occupy 10.47% of the available configurable slice registers and 12.58% of the FPGA's slice lookup tables. The maximum frequency of the proposed emulator is 758.064 MHz, so up to 560 different paths can be processed simultaneously to generate 560 × 758 million × 2 × 32 bit complex-valued fading samples per second.

With device-to-device (D2D) communications, an inactive user terminal can be utilized as a relay node to support multi-hop communication so that connective experience of the cell-edge user as well as the capacity of the whole system can be significantly improved. In this paper, we investigate the spectrum sharing for a cooperative relay assisted D2D communication underlying a cellular network. We formulate a joint relay selection and channel assignment problem to maximize the throughput of the system while guaranteeing the quality of service (QoS) requirements of cellular users (CUs) and D2D users (DUs). By exploiting coalition formation game theory, we propose two algorithms to solve the problem. The first algorithm is designed based on merge and split rules while the second one is developed based on single user's movement. Both of them are proved to be stable and convergent. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

최근 들어 ATSC-DTV의 미래형 핵심기술로 손꼽히고 있는 송신기 식별기술(TxID ; Transmitter Identification)이 새로운 신기술로 대두되고 있으며, 이에 대한 구현성 검증은 현재 활발하게 논의 중인 재생중계기(EDOCR)와 연계된 단일주파수망(SFN; Single Frequency Network)기술의 실용화를 위한 핵심적 역할을 한다고 볼 수 있다. 하지만 종래의 TxID기술은 긴 주기의 워터마킹용 확산코드를 사용하므로 수신기 입장에서 하드웨어 부피가 크게 증가되는 문제점을 갖고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 TxID 수신기 하드웨어 부피를 크게 경감시킬 수 있는 새로운 Decimated Correlation 기법을 이용한 DTV TxID 수신 신호의 효율적인 신호처리 기법을 제시하였으며, 모의실험을 통한 성능평가를 통해 제안한 알고리즘의 유용성을 입증하였다.
