Bluetooth technology is a publicly available specification proposed for Radio Frequency (RF) communication for short-range :1nd point-to-multipoint voice and data transfer. It operates in the 2.4㎓ ISM(Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band and offers the potential for low-cost, broadband wireless access for various mobile and portable devices at range of about 10 meters. In this paper, we describe the structure and the test results of the bluetooth baseband module with direct memory access method we have developed. This module consists of three blocks; link controller, UART interface, and audio CODEC. This module has a bus interface for data communication between this module and main processor and a RF interface for the transmission of bit-stream between this module and RF module. The bus interface includes DMA interface. Compared with the link controller with FIFOs, The module with DMA has a wide difference in size of module and speed of data processing. The small size module supplies lorr cost and various applications. In addition, this supports a firmware upgrade capability through UART. An FPGA and an ASIC implementation of this module, designed as soft If, are tested for file and bit-stream transfers between PCs.

본 논문에서는 음성 인식률 향상을 위한 여러 가지방법들 중에서 음성특징 파라미터 추출 방법에 관한 한가지 방법을 제시하였다. 본 논문에서는 청각 특성을 기반으로 한 MFCC(met frequency cepstrum coef-ficients)와 성능 향상을 위한 방법으로 GFCC (gamma-tone filter frequency cepstrum coefficients)를 제시하고 음성 인식을 수행하여 성능을 분석하였다. MFCC에서 일반적으로 사용하는 임계 대역 필터로 삼각 필터(triangular filter) 대신 청각 구조의 기저막(basilar membrane)특성을 묘사한 gammatone 대역 통과 필터를 이용하여 특징 파라미터를 추출하였다. DTW 알고리즘으로 인식률을 분석한 결과 삼각 대역 필터를 이용한 것보다 gammatone 대역 통과 필터를 이용한 추출법이 약 2∼3%의 성능 향상을 보였다.

본 고에서는 휴대 이동단말 시스템의 복합다기능화 및 단말기내 적용되는 주파수 변조 방식의 변화에 따른 핵심부품으로서 표면탄성파필터의 요구 성능의 변화 및 그에 따른 대응방향에 대해서 설명하고 있다. 현재 전세계적으로 널리 보급되고 있는 코드분할다중접속방식(CDMA)의 이동단말기에서는 수퍼헤테로다인 변복조방식의 적용에 따라 표면탄성파 소자로서 듀플렉서, 송신 RF 필터, 수신 RF 필터 및 수신 IF 필터 등이 적용되어 왔다. 하지만 최근 들어 RF 대역에서 기저대역으로 신호의 직접변환(Direct Conversion)이 가능한 Chipset의 보급과 더불어 급속히 Zero-IF화가 추진되고 있으며, 그에 따라 RE 필터부의 고성능화가 요구되고 있다. Zero-IF Chipset은 신호대 잡음비를 크게 하기 위해서 수신 RE 필터에 있어서 Balance 구동을 기본으로 하고 있으며, 듀플렉서에 있어서는 통과대역의 저손실화, 저지대역의 고감쇠화 및 송수신간 높은 격리도를 요구하고 있다. 본 고에서는 이러한 요구사항을 만족시킬 수 있는 표면탄성파 필터의 구현 원리와 향후 동향에 대해 논의하였다.

Rec. ITU-R M.1842-1 is international recommendation for VHF band communication guideline in maritime mobile service RR Appendix 18 channels. In this paper, we simulate 28.8 kbps VHF ${\pi}$/4-DQPSK digital baseband modem compatible with the recommendation, then it is designed and implemented with FPGA. Cazac sequence is used as a preamble since packet format is not defined untill now in the recommendation. Baseband modem is designed by VHDL language and implemented on NEXYS4 development platform having Atrix7 FPGA chip from Xilinx. For wireless communication test of total prototype system, ADC/DAC board is implemented and EV9730 RF module is utilized. From the experimental results, implemented FPGA modem shows spectral bandwidth of 25 kHz and successful data exchanges between tx and rx communication platform.

In this paper, A compact ultra-wideband(UWB) bandpass filter(BPF) with WLAN notched filter has been proposed. H-shaped slot is studied and adopted to tighten the coupling of inter-digital capacitor in order to improve the BPF's performance. Three pairs of tapered defected ground structures(DGS) are formed to assign their transmission zeros towards the out of band signal, thereby suppressing the spurious passband. Also Meander line slot is developed to reject the undesired wireless local-area network(WLAN) radio signals. That's combining these three structures we obtain a small sized UWB BPF.

This paper describes a low-power baseband circuit for SAW-less LTE-Advanced transmitters. The proposed transmitter baseband circuit consists of a 2nd-order Tow-Thomas type active RC-LPF and a 1st-order passive RC LPF. It can provide a 7 multi-channel cut-off frequencies and wide gain control range of -41 dB ~ 0 dB with a 1-dB step. The proposed 2nd-order active RC-LPF adopts an op-amp in which three other sub-op amps are in parallel connected to reduce DC current for different cutoff frequency. In addition, each sub-op amp adopts both Miller and feed-forward phase compensation method to achieve an UGBW of more than 1-GHz with a small DC power consumption. The proposed baseband circuit is implemented in 65-nm CMOS technology, consuming DC power from 6.3 mW to 24.1 mW from a 1.2V supply voltage for each different cut-off frequency.

Conventionally, we have used an acoustic microscope at single operating frequency. The resolution and quality of the measured images are determined by transducer of the microscope. In this paper, we have studied Vertical Resolution Enhancement with Acoustic Reflection Microscope using combining bases of support for SFR(Spatial Frequency Response). Increased Vertical resolution can be obtained by taking three-dimensional images at more that one frequency and numerically combining the results. As results of the experiment, we could get enhanced images with the rate of contrast in proportion to the changing rate of depth.

We propose a new scheme combining the compensation of HPA nonlinearity and the calibration of the path imperfections in the downlink OFDM smart antenna systems. We use a two term third-order polynomial (without second-order term) and the feedforward method for compensation and calibration to make each path of the antenna array have equal characteristics. Since the proposed scheme does not alter the base-band signal, it can be applied to the smart antenna system independently of the base-band signal processing section. The result of computer simulations shows that, with the addition of only one third-order term, the adverse nonlinear effects can be effectively compensated, and the those of linear imperfections can be calibrated as well.

In this paper, we propose a new compensation scheme for combined channel distortions and RF impairments based on the analysis of the impacts of IQ(In-phase/Quadrature) imbalance and phase noise on the OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system in the direct conversion transceiver and frequency selective fading channel distortion. The proposed scheme estimates the combined distortion by the use of training symbols and the residual distortion by pilot symbols and compensates the combined distortion, including IQ imbalance, phase noise and multipath fading at the same time. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme compensates the combined distortion of IQ imbalance, phase noise and multipath fading simultaneously.
