Nowadays, video technology has been successfully improved creating tremendous results. As video technology improve, multimedia devices and demands from users are diversified. Therefore, a video codec used in these devices should support various displays with different resolutions. The technology to generate a higher resolution image from the associated low-resolution image is called interpolation. Interpolation is generally performed in either the spatial domain or the DCT domain. To use the advantages of both domains, we have proposed the new adaptive interpolation algorithm based on edge direction, which adaptively exploits the advantages of both domains. The experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm performs well in terms of PSNR and reduces the blocking artifacts.

Image upsampling can be performed in both spatial and frequency (transform) domain. In the spatial domain, various upsampling techniques are developed and 6-tap FIR interpolation filter is most well known method, which is embedded in many video coding standards. It can provide high subjective quality but shows low objective quality. In the transform domain, simple zero padding method can produce upsampled image easily. It shows better objective quality than 6-tap filtering, but it yields ringing effects which annoy eyes. In this paper, we present efficient upsampling method using frequency addition method in transform domain to provide better subjective and objective quality than conventional method Extensive simulation results show that the proposed algorithm produces visually fine images with high PSNR.

Research and development are being conducted to apply low-power Bluetooth (BLE) technology to IoT (Internet of Things) applications. The characteristic of this application environment is that many piconets can operate in the same space. Therefore, interference between homogeneous networks is likely to occur. In the BLE data channel, adaptive frequency hopping (AFH) scheme is used among the 37 frequency channels, and the master and the slave communicate while changing the carrier frequency. If there are multiple BLE piconets in the same space, there is a risk of frequency collision and packet errors will occur. In this paper, we analyze the packet collision probability due to cochannel interference in multiple asynchronous BLE piconet environments. Specifically, we analyzed packet collision probability according to the number of concurrently operating BLE piconets with the ratio of connection interval to connection event length as the main parameters. The analysis result can be used to set connection event related parameters for a desired packet collision probability according to the number of users having BLE devices in a given space.

Digital radiography imaging systems can also help diagnose lesions in patients, but if x-rays that enter the human body cause scatter x-ray due to interaction with substances, they affect the signal and noise characteristics of digital x-ray images. To regard the human body as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and observe the properties of scattered x-ray generated from PMMA on x-ray images, we analyze signal and noise in the spatial domain as well as noise-power spectrum (NPS), and detective quantum efficiency (DQE) at zero frequency. As PMMA thickness increased, signals decreased, the noise increased, and NPS degradation was identified in overall spatial frequencies. Based on these characteristics, zero-frequency performance was also shown to be degraded. Comparative analysis with Monte-carlo simulations will need to be made to analyze the zero-frequency performance by scattered x-ray of indirect conversion-type x-ray detectors more quantitatively.

Cognitive radio (CR), which is proposed as a technology that utilizes the frequency resources effectively, has studied to relive scarcity of the frequency resources. CR provides opportunistically unused frequency to the secondary user when the primary user is not detected. Spectrum sensing is the most important technology to detect primary user. However, in the wireless channels, according to the effect of multipath fading channel, spectrum sensing performance is compromised. Therefore, in this paper, we apply diversity scheme that is a useful technique for combating multiple fading in wireless communications. There are several classes of diversity scheme, which are time diversity, antenna diversity, muitipath diversity, frequency diversity, and so on. In this paper, we adopt antenna diversity that is a kind of space diversity. By using the proposed method, we can overcome fading effect and improve spectrum sensing performance.

본 논문에서는 end-fire 방사패턴 특성을 가지는 2.4GHz ISM 밴드용 소형 open-end slot 안테나를 설계하였다. 안테나 설계 공간은 $23mm{\times}15mm$의 좁은 영역으로 한정된 공간 내에 안테나를 설계하기 위하여 한번의 Bent된 slot을 도입하였고, End-Fire 방사특성을 내기위해 안테나 수평면상의 위쪽 방향으로 slot을 open시킨 구조이다. Bent된 slot을 이용해 전체 slot의 길이를 변화시키지 않고 주파수의 조절이 가능하고, Feeding Line의 길이와 폭을 조절하여 보다 광대역의 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 제작된 안테나의 공진 주파수는 2.46GHz이고 대역폭은 2.4GHz~2.61GHz 까지 약 210MHz(VSWR<2) 이다. 방사패턴은 동작 주파수 내에서 slot이 open된 방향으로 end-fire특성을 가지고, 안테나의 이득과 효율은 각 각 1dBi, 70% 이상의 성능을 가진다. 설계 결과의 검증을 위해 모의실험 결과와 측정 결과를 비교하여 제시하였다.

We present a space-time trellis coded OFDM system in slow fading channels. Generalized principal ratio combining (GPRC) is also analyzed theoretically in frequency domain. The analysis shows that the decoding metric of GPRC includes the metrics of maximum likelihood(ML) and PRC. The computer simulations with M-PSK modulation are obtained in frequency flat and frequency selective fading channels. The decoding complexity and simulation running times are also evaluated among the decoding schemes.

We study the similarities in timbre by varying both the form of the spectrum and the fundamental frequencies. A three dimensional configuration was drawn as a result of multidimensional scaling analysis. This configuration suggests that the difference in fundamental frequencies is one of the factors that change the timbre of complex tones. Also we considered the possibility of expressing the broad perception of timbre using auditory spectrum. The experimental result is well agreed with the calculation using the frequency weight matrix excluding the small value of auditory spectrum.

본 논문에서는 워터마크의 기본적인 요구사항인 비가시성(invisibility)을 유지하면서 강인함(robustness)을 최대로 하기 위해 워터마크를 삽입할 때 인간시각 특성(Human Visual System, HVS)을 이용한다. 특히, 주파수 마스킹(frequency masking), 공간 마스킹(spatial masking), 그리고 움직임 마스킹(motion masking)을 결합한 전역마스킹(global masking) 기법을 제안한다. 주파수 마스킹은 프레임을 DCT 변환한 후 주파수 민감도 표(frequency sensitivity table)를 이용해 위치 정보를 구한다. 공간 마스킹은 밝기(luminance) 및 윤곽선(edge) 정보를 이용해서 구하며. 움직임 마스킹은 이웃하는 프레임간의 움직임 변화를 이용하여 프레임간의 상관성을 고려한다. 본 논문에서는 키(key) 값에 의해 발생된 랜덤시퀀스와 로고의 배타적 논리합(exclusive OR)에 의해 결합된 워터마크를 전역 마스킹 결과에 따라 압축되지 않은 비디오 프레임에 직접 적용했으며, 실험을 통해 MPEG 부호화 및 재부호화 공격에 대해서 제안한 방법이 강인함을 확인했다.

불연속 전송선로를 해석하기 위한 유용한 방법으로서 유한요소법이나 공간도메인법등과 같은 주파수영역 해석법과 선로제작에 기초한 파라미터 측정법등이 사용된다. 시간영역의 유한차분법은 한번의 모의실험을 통해 주파수 의존적인 파라미터값을 구할수있어 불연속선로를 해석하는데 매우 효과적이다. 본 논문에서는 마이크로 스트립에 기초한 몇가지 형태의 2 포트 불연속 회로망 즉, 케스케이된 스텝 불연속 선로와 레이스트렉 지연선 및 단일 스터브 필터에 대한 정확한 모델링과 해석을 위하여 시간영역의 유한차분법의 적용방법이 논의된다. 2 포트 회로망으로 구성된 평면형 마이크로 스트립 불연속선로를 해석하기 위하여 일반적으로 분산 파라미터에 기초한 해석절차가 사용된다. 주파수 의존적인 분산 파라미터는 시간영역의 유한차분법에 의해 모니터된 입사, 반사 및 투과된 전압으로 부터 고속푸리에 변환을 통해 얻어지고, 또한 그 결과를 공간-스펙트랄 방법 및 모멘트 방법의 결과와 비교함으로써 시간영역의 유한차분법이 다양한 형태의 불연속 선로에 성공적으로 적용됨을 볼 수 있다.
