Return signals of a ground penetrating radar(GPR) for mine detection at various frequencies and soil moisture contents are analyzed in this paper. We first compute the dielectric constant, conductivity and attenuation loss based on clay loam which is Korea standard soil. The mine-detection images of GPR at various frequencies are also obtained using the finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) technique. Then, the signal-to-clutter ratio(SCR) and received power of the radar are studied. It is shown that the variable frequency channels are suitable for a GPR to detect landmines at various soil conditions.

An adaptive blind equalizer is used to combat the distortions caused by a nonideal channel without resorting to a training sequence, given the received signal and statistical information of the transmitted signal. Incidentally, a multipath channel may result in a fade which produces intersymbol interference in the received signal. Therefore, a new type of algorithm which can compenste the effects of this fade is required in the multipath channel environment. In this paper, a modified form of adaptive blind equalization algorithm using stop-and-go algorithm for multichannel system is proposed. It is demonstrated via computer simulations that the performance of the proposed multichannel stop-and-go algorithm is much better than that of the conventional multichannel algorithms.

In this paper, we propose a class of spectrum sensing schemes for cognitive radio with receive diversity. By considering the generalized likelihood ratio test detector in each branch and exploiting non-linear diversity combining strategy, the proposed scheme exhibits reasonable performance for spectrum sensing even in the environment of heavier-tailed noise. From the results of analysis and computer simulations, it is observed that the proposed scheme provides significant performance gain and performance stability over the conventional schemes, especially in impulsive noise environment.

발광층에 Alq3와 rubrene을 mixed host로 사용하고 DCJTB를 형광 dopant로 사용한 다층 박막 구조의 red OLEDs를 제작하였다. 소자의 구조는 $ITO:Anode(120nm)/{\alpha}-NPD:HTL(40nm)/Alq_3+Rubrene(mixed\;host\;1:1)+DCJTB(red\;dopant\;3%)+:EML(20nm)/Alq_3:ETL(40nm)/MgAg(Mg\;5%\;wt):Cathode(150nm)$ 로서 EML내부에 DCJTB를 Totally Doping Method와 Dotted-Line Doping Method의 두 가지 방법으로 도핑 하였다. Mixed host구조에 DCJTB를 6구간으로 나누어 Dotted Line Doping한 소자는 luminance yield가 $9.2cd/A@10mA/cm^2$ 이었다. 이 소자는 DCJTB만을 Totally Doping한 소자의 luminance yield $3.2cd/A@10mA/cm^2$에 비해 약 190%정도의 높은 효율 향상을 보였다. 또한 $10mA/cm^2$에 도달하는 전압은 5.5V Vs. 8.5V로서 mixed host를 사용한 소자에서 약 3V정도 구동전압이 낮아지는 효과가 있었다. 발광 스펙트럼의 Full Width Half Maximum(FWHM)은 각각 56.6nm와 61nm로서 rubrene을 mixed host로 사용한 소자에서 높은 색 순도를 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 성능의 향상은 $Alq_3$와 혼합된 rubrene에 의한 낮은 전하주 입장벽, 높은 전류밀도에서 나타나는 발광감쇄현상의 감소, 그리고 발광층의 DLD구조에 의한 전하의 trap & confinement 에 따른 발광 exciton의 형성확률이 증가한데서 나타났다고 생각된다.

This paper proposes a mediator system which can provide a view management function in the today's heterogeneous computing environment including operating system database management systems and other software. while most mediators use view modification mechanism only, the use of view materialization is also considered in this research. In order to optimize the management cost for materialized views the proposed method applies a decay factor for modeling the access behaviors of views In other words, the most recently access pattern gets the highest attention in the optimization process all the necessary it with the CORBA.

When radar return contains strong jammers along with ground clutter echo, a STAP(space-time adaptive processing) algorithms tend to suppress jammer components more severely than it does the clutter. This hinders moving target detection in that the target echo is apt to be buried by clutter echo. This paper presents a two-step STAP algorithm in which the pre-suppression of jammer by the spatial filtering is applied, prior to applying the STAP algorithm. We propose how to find the coefficients of the spatial filter and show that the spatial filtering barely alter the spectra of the target and the clutter echo, having only to suppress the jammers. Finally, we simulate a STAP scenario with strong jammers and show the proposed algorithm can improve STAP performance.

센서네트워크에서 가장 기본적이고 중요한 기능 중 하나는 주변정보를 수집하고 수집한 정보를 취합하는 것이다. 하지만 정보 취합 과정에서 특정 경로를 자주 이용하게 되면, 해당 경로상의 노드들에게 에너지 소비가 집중되어 네트워크가 일찍 단절 될 수 있다. 따라서 다양한 라우팅 경로를 갖고, 모든 노드의 부하를 균등하게 분산하여 네트워크 라이프타임을 늘리는 것이 중요하다. 그간, 여러 논문에서 리니어프로그래밍을 통해 각 노드의 부하를 균등하게 분산하기 위한 연구들이 활발히 이루어 졌다. 하지만 기존 연구들에서는 무선환경에서의 충돌, 감쇄 등으로 인한 전송 실패와 재전송에 드는 에너지측면을 제대로 반영하지 못하였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 무선 네트워크 환경에서, 노드 간 링크퀄리티를 반영하여 재전송에 드는 비용까지 고려된, 정교한 부하 균등 분산 기법을 소개한다. 링크퀄리티를 고려하였을 때, 그렇지 않았을 때에 비해 에너지 측면과 전송 지연 측면에서 최대 100%를 상회하는 성능향상 결과를 보인다.

In this paper, we design a SSD(simultaneous single band duplex) system using RF cancellation and digital cancellation. And then, we analyze performance of the SSD system using pre-distorter with HPA non-linearity. Also, we analyze digital cancellation performance of the SSD system using pre-distorter with HPA non-linearity. Additionally, digital cancellation cancels residual self-interference. In linear conditions, digital cancellation can cancel self-interference of 40dB. Therefore, the SSD system has good BER performance because most of self-interference is canceled. But, in HPA non-linearity conditions, digital cancellation cancels residual self-interference of 25dB. In this conditions, self-interference is greater than desired signal. Therefore, bit informations of distant station can not be received. But, we confirm that if the proposed system uses pre-distorter then bit information of distant station can be received by HPA non-linearity compensation. Also, we confirm that even though the proposed system uses pre-distorter, if HPA non-linearity increases then digital cancellation performance is degraded by imperfect compensation of HPA non-linerity.

Purpose: The X-ray attenuation coefficient based on CT images is used for attenuation correction in PET/CT. The polychromatic X-ray beam can introduce beam-hardening artifact on CT images. The aims of the study were to evaluate the effect of dental metal prostheses in phantom and patients on apparent tracer activity measured with PET/CT when using CT attenuation correction. Materials and Methods: 40 normal patients (mean age $54{\pm}12$) was scanned between Jan and Feb 2010. NEMA(National Electrical Manufactures Association) PET $Phantom^{TM}$ (NU2-1994) was filled with $^{18}F$-FDG injected into the water that insert implant and metal prostheses dental cast. Region of interest were drawn in non-artifact region, bright steak artifact region and dark streak artifact region on the same transaxial CT and PET slices. Patients and phantom with dental metal prostheses and dental implant were evaluated the change rate of CT Number and $SUV_{mean}$ in PET/CT. A paired t-test was performed to compare the ratio and the difference of the calculated values. Results: In patients with dental metal prostheses, $SUV_{mean}$ was reduced 19.64% (p<0.05) in the non-steak artifact region than the brightstreak artifact region whereas was increased 90.1% (p>0.05) in the non-steak artifact region than the dark streak artifact region. In phantom with dental metal prostheses, $SUV_{mean}$ was reduced 18.1% (p<0.05) in the non-steak artifact region than the bright streak artifact region whereas was increased 18.0% (p>0.05) in the non-steak artifact region than the dark streak artifact region. In patients with dental implant, $SUV_{mean}$ was increased 19.1% (p<0.05) in the non-steak artifact region than the bright streak artifact region whereas was increased 96.62% (p>0.05) in the non-steak artifact region than the dark streak artifact region. In phantom with dental implant, $SUV_{mean}$ was increased 14.4% (p<0.05) in the non-steak artifact region than the bright streak artifact region whereas was increased 7.0% (p>0.05) in the non-steak artifact region than the dark streak artifact region. Conclusion: When CT is used for attenuation correction in patients with dental metal prostheses, 19.1% reduced $SUV_{mean}$ is anticipated in the dark streak artifact region on CT images. The dark streak artifacts of CT by dental metal prostheses may cause false negative finding in PET/CT. We recommend that the non-attenuation corrected PET images also be evaluated for clinical use.

This paper describes the parasitic capacitance modeling according to the coil structure, section bobbin and winding method for hybrid choke coil with reduced parasitic capacitance capable of the EMI attenuation of broad bands from lower frequency to higher frequency applied in the EMI attenuation filter of LED-TV SMPS. Especially, the hybrid choke coil with reduced parasitic capacitance($C_p$) proposed in this paper can reduces the parasitic capacitance($C_p$) by adopting the winding methods of rectangular copper wire, compared to the conventional common mode choke coil with the winding method of automatic type. The first resonant frequency of the proposed hybrid choke coil has a tendency to increase as the parasitic capacitance is smaller and its impedance characteristics, especially in the high frequency bands, improves as the first resonant frequency increases. In the future, the proposed hybrid choke coil with reduced parasitic capacitance shows it can be actually utilized in not only LED-TV SMPS but also various applications such as LED Lighting, Note-PC Adapter, and so forth.
