In this paper, we proposed TH UWB-IR medical image transmission system using the IEEE an. 802.15.4a specification in WPAN environment. Also, we analyzed reception performance of wireless medical image transmission system in indoor multi-path fading environment using ITU-R M.1225 channel model. As a results, the proposed scheme can solve the problem of interference from the medical equipment in same frequency band, and minimize the loss due to the indoor multi-path fading environment. Therefore, the transmission with low power usage is possible.

Controller area network (CAN) 네트워크로 대표되는 자동차 내부네트워크와 비교하여 자동차 스마트키 시스템은 상대적으로 소수의 연구가 진행되어오고 있다. 하지만, 현실 세계에서는 스마트키 시스템의 취약점으로 인해 많은 피해사례가 발생하고 있다. 대표적으로, 2010년 NDSS 학회에 소개된 신호 중계 공격 (signal relay attack)은 현재까지도 수많은 자동차 절도 사건들에 악용되고 있다. 이와 같은 문제를 근본적으로 해결하기 위해 초광대역 통신(ultra-wideband communication, UWB)을 사용한 디지털 키 (Digital Key) 기술이 일부 최신 자동차들에 탑재되고 있다. 하지만, 2022년USENIX Security 학회에서 애플, 삼성과 같은 글로벌 기업이 채택한 high rate pulse repetition frequency (HRP) UWB 측위 시스템에 대한 거리 단축 공격 (distance reduction attack)이 가능함이 소개되었다. 이는 디지털 키 시스템 또한 신호중계 공격과 같은 보안 위협에 노출될 수 있다는 점을 시사한다. 본 논문에서는 자동차 스마트키 시스템을 대상으로 수행된 공격 연구 사례들을 살펴본다. 먼저, remote keyless entry (RKE) 시스템 및 passive keyless entry and start (PKES) 시스템으로 대표되는 기존 스마트키 시스템을 대상으로 하는 보안 위협에 대해 살펴본다. 다음으로 차세대 스마트키 시스템으로 주목받고 있는 디지털키 시스템을 구성하는 초광대역 통신기술의 동작 원리 및 이에 대한 보안위협 연구 동향을 살펴본다.

In this paper, the performance improvement of ultra-wideband(UWB) communications system to achieve high-data-rate using spatial diversity provided by multiple receive antennas is investigated. We derive the expression for the received SINR after spatially combining through multiple receive antennas and evaluate the bit error rate(BER) performance by numerical simulation. We also compare the performance results in the case of 2PPM systems with the theoretical performance results in the case of 2PAM THMA UWB systems. The impacts of spatial diversity on the performance of 2PPM and 2PAM THMA UWB systems are analyzed. It is shown that the BER performance is improved as the number of receive antennas increases. Also, it is observed that in the presence of multiple user interference signals, the performance of 2PAM THMA UWB systems is considerably superior to that of 2PPM THMA UWB systems.

In this paper, Antenna, LNA, Mixer, VCO, and Modulation/Demodulation in Baseband processor which are the RF main components in Wireless LAN system for ultra high-speed communications network are studied. Antenna bandwidth and selective fading due to multipath can be major obstacles in high speed digital communications. To solve this problem, wide band MSA which has loop-structure magnetic antenna characteristics is designed. Distributed mixer using dual-gate GaAs MESFET can achieve over 10dB LO/RF isolation without hybrid, and minimize circuit size. As linear mixing signal is produced, distortions can be decreased at baseband signals. Conversion gain is achieved by mixing and amplification simultaneously. Mixer is designed to have wide band characteristics using distributed amplifier. In VCO design, Oscillator design method by large signal analysis is used to produce stable signal. Modulation/Demodulation system in baseband processor, DS/SS technique which is robust against noise and interference is used to eliminate the effect of multipath propagation. DQPSK modulation technique with M-sequences for wideband PN spreading signals is adopted because of BER characteristic and high speed digital signal transmission.

In this paper, a design method for a compact log-perio dic half-bow-tie dipole array antenna for an operation in a UWB band(3.1-10.6 GHz) is studied. The proposed antenna is miniaturized by using half-bow-tie shaped dipole elements instead of strip-type dipole elements, which are commonly used in a general log-periodic dipole array(LPDA) antenna, and by reducing the element spacing. The effects of the flare angle of the half-bow-tie elements and the spacing factor on input reflection coefficient and realized gain characteristics of the proposed log-periodic antenna are analyzed. The optimized antenna is fabricated on an FR4 substrate, and the experiment results show that the antenna has a frequency band of 2.95-11.31 GHz for a VSWR < 2, which assures the operation in the UWB band. In addition, the length and width of the proposed antenna are reduced to 32.1 % and 18.3 %, respectively, compared to the LPDA antenna.

The forward link of the 3 G CDMA system may become limited under the increasing of the number of users. The conventional channelization code, Walsh code, has not enough sizes for much possible non, therefore, the quasi orthogonal function(QOF), which process optimal cross-correlation with Walsh code, is considered. In this paper, we investigate quasi orthogonal function on Jacket matrices, which can lead lower correlations values and better performance in 3 G CDMA system. Moreover, to simple the detector and improve the BER performance, a novel detection for QOF CDMA system is proposed. Finally, the simple recursive generation of the bent sequences for QOF mask function is discussed.

The antenna gain was $6.27{\sim}9.82dBi$. The radiation pattern got a stable pattern in frequency bandwidth.

In this paper, signal processing techniques for noncoherent impulse-radio-based UWB (IR-UWB) communication system are proposed to provide system implementation of low power consumption and low complexity. The proposed system adopts a simple modulation technique of OOK (on-oft-keying) and noncoherent signal detection based on signal amplitude. In particular, a technique of a novel high speed digital sampler using a stable, lower reference clock is developed to detect nano-second pulses and recover digital signals from the pulses. Also, a 32 bits Turyn code for data frame synchronization and a convolution code as FEC are applied, respectively. To verify the proposed signal processing techniques for low power, low complexity noncoherent IR-UWB system, the proposed signal processing technique is implemented in FPGA and then a short-range communication system for wireless transmission of high quality MP3 data is designed and tested.

In this paper, a microwave tag system of a frequency-scanning type is proposed with multi-resonators using defected ground structures. While a conventional chip-based RFID stores time-sequential codes, the proposed type achieves pure passive tags by using multi-resonant bits over a frequency range. Moreover, the resonators of the spiral defected ground structures implemented on the back side of transmission lines have advantages of the excellent bandstop characteristics as well as the bit-error avoidance by the re-radiation on normal resonators. The proposed microwave tag is designed with UWB antennas at 3~7 GHz. From the experimental results in an anechoic chamber, it has been verified of the excellent recognitions for various 5-bits identification codes.

Recently, Ultra-wideband (UWB) Communication systems have become a popular research topic. UWB system is characterized by the fact that the digital information represented by a subnanosecond pulses is transmitted through the air. In this paper, we consider the PPSM scheme that combine PPM and PSM. We provide the performance in AWGN and SV multipath channel which consists of $CM1\~CM4$. The optimal symbol set for M-ary system in multipath channel which shows good performance is also presented. The simulation results show that the performance in CM4 is worse than that in CMI due to long delay spread, many multipath components, 4-ary system outperforms binary system in Low$E_b/N_0$ but not in high $E_b/N_0$. We find system have the optimal symbol set in multipath channel.
