A new phase frequency detector based digital phase-locked loop (PLL) of 125 MHz was designed using the 130 nm CMOS technology library consisting of inverting edge detectors along with a typical digital phase-locked loop to reduce the lock time and jitter for mid-frequency applications. XOR based inverting edge detectors were used to obtain a transition earlier than the reference signal to change the output more quickly. The HSPICE simulator was used in a Cadence environment for simulation. The performance of the digital phase-locked loops with the proposed phase frequency detector was compared with that of conventional phase frequency detector. The PLL with the proposed detector took $0.304{\mu}s$ to lock with a maximum jitter of approximately 0.1142 ns, whereas the conventional PLL took a minimum of $2.144{\mu}s$ to lock with a maximum jitter of approximately 0.1245 ns.

Grounding system insures a reference potential point for electric devices and also provides a low impedance path for fault currents in the earth. The ground impedance as function of frequency is necessary for determining its performance since fault currents could contain a wide range of frequencies. Copper and concrete rod electrodes are the most commonly used grounding electrode in electric distribution systems. In this paper, the ground impedance of copper and concrete rods has been measured by frequency and time domain characteristic tests. An equivalent transfer function model of the ground impedance is identified from the measured values by using ARMA method and evaluated by comparing conventional grounding impedances.

Relay-assisted wireless communication systems have been studied widely to cope with shadow areas and extend the cell coverage. This paper proposes a space-frequency (SF) block coded single carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) transmission system in a relaying multi-path shadow area and present the performance comparison of SC-FDMA systems based on the signal-to-noise power ratio (SNR) between a relay and a destination station. The performance of relaying SC-FDMA systems can be improved by applying SF block code to the recovered signals of relays before re-transmitting them. The simulation result showed that the SNR performance of the proposed SF block coded relaying SC-FDMA system was approximately 5 dB better than the SNR performance of the single-path relaying SC-FDMA system at a symbol error rate (SER) of $10^{-2}$.

This paper presents a robust watermarking approach that the frequency coefficients of the binary logo image are inserted in the DC and each frequency area of the host image for copyright protection of image data. We use the 1 level discrete wavelet transform(DWT) coefficients of 64*64 binary logo image as watermark because the presentation of a recognizable mark is much more convincing than numerical values and allows the opportunity to exploit the human visual system's ability to recognize a pattern. The proposed method makes use of 1-level DWT of the logo image, the DWT coefficients of the logo image are inserted by human visual system(HVS) and region of interest(ROI) in the frequency domain of the host image. Thereby, the detected logo image confirms copyright. Because small size watermark is inserted by HVS and ROI, the results confirm the superiority of the Proposed method on invisibility and robustness.

This paper describes the overview of spectrum requirement estimation recommended in ITU-R Rec. M.1390 and [IMT.METH] and its difference for the IMT mobile service, and a (IMT.METH) methodology is applied to the spectrum estimation of the recent IMT service. The traffic model and traffic calculation algorithm is briefly described for the carried traffic which is determined in terms of the offered traffic, system rapacity, and the criteria of quality of service. And the spectrum requirement demand which is required from year 2010 to year 2015 is calculated as an example for the IMT service which is recently operated and deployed in the current Korean market after obtaining the reasonable market data and the ITU market prediction data.

In this paper, a new balun is proposed. This proposed balun has a DGS(Defected Ground Structure) pattern on the ground plane. The transmission-line is transformed by microstrip-to-slotline transition. DGS pattern on the ground plane and transition of the lines can be easily made a property of the balun. Resonance frequency of the DGS leads to operating frequency of the balun. Also the transition produces $180^{\circ}$ out-of-phase between two output ports without additional transmission line. In this paper, a new balun with VPDGS(Vertically Periodic Defected Ground Structure) effectively lower the operating frequency. To validate the proposed design method, the new balun is designed, fabricated and measured at 2 GHz.

This paper describe a method for measuring line impedance as a function of frequency for an energized powerline in normal operation. A small sinusoidal signal of a powerline communication utility frequency $30khz\~1Mhz$ band is continuously injected into the line, and a implemented impedance analyzer calculates the indoor powerline channel impedance from the measured magnitude and phase of resulting voltage and current. The impedance measurement is executed over a range of frequencies to produce a wideband impedance versus frequency characteristic. Implemented impedance analyzer can analysis powerline communication environments measuring line impedance due to load caused in indoor. And measured analysis information through the database can use to evaluate performance of modem and to decide test environment standard.

Radio systems decline in the system performances when one system is interfered from the other system. System parameters, which are operating frequency, transmit power, and so on, need to be determined in order that there is no interference between radio systems. We investigate the interference from the sound broadcasting service in the band 87.5-108 MHz to the ILS localizer, one of the aeronautical services, in the band of 108-112 MHz. The results are compared with the interference criteria. And then several system parameters, which are frequency, transmit power, and location, are determined in order to avoid the interference from the FM sound broadcasting service which occupies the frequency band near the band of the aeronautical services. The results of this paper can be applied to set up system parameters of the ILS localizer so that system performance can be maximized. Besides, the result of this paper can be applied for determining spectrum management policy.

Since scarcity of spectrum in future mobile networks, millimeter wave frequencies from 30 GHz to 300 GHz have been proposed to be used in an important part of 5G mobile communication backhaul links to provide several giga bits services. In ITU-R has been invited to conduct and complete in time for WRC-19 the appropriate studies to determine the spectrum needs for the terrestrial component of IMT in the frequency range between 24.25 GHz and 86 GHz. Also, small cells such as a femtocell, and heterogeneous networks have been deployed through world in order to enhance the communication capacity. At this stage, it is important to develop millimeter wave frequencies to provide 5G mobile broadband services, and thus this paper proposes the effective usage of these frequencies by summarizing the FCC allocation of millimeter waves, their propagation characteristics, the required minimum path length, and the interference effect.

배전 계통 산업 현장에서는 스위칭 소자 및 제어장치, 전 자기기들이 한 대 맞물려 증가하고 있다. 또한, 스마트 그리드(Smart Grid) 및 마이크로 그리드(Micro Grid)의 개념이 도입되면서 분산 전원 이 널리 보급되고 있다. 이로 인해 현장에서는 많은 전기전자기기들이 설치되어 운영 중에 있고, 이것은 noise 및 고조파와 같은 왜란이 발생 되는 원인을 초래하고 있다. 왜란은 여러 전기 전자 장비들의 데이터 취득 왜곡 현상을 발생시키고, 이러한 데이터 손실로 인해 기기들의 오동작 및 사고를 발생시킨다. 대표적인 왜란으로는 common mode noise 같은 대지(大地) 등의 기준점과 각 신호선 사이에 나타나는 노이즈가 있으며, 선로 및 장비 특성에 따라 기수 및 우수 고조파가 있다. 이러한 왜란들은 전자기기들의 오동작 및 신호의 부 정확성으로 제품 신뢰성에 문제를 초래한다. 특히 데이터 계측 실패 및 Serial 통신을 함에 있어서 신호 손실을 발생시켜 데이터 변형을 초래한다. 이로 인해 배전선로에 위치한 전자기기들이 왜곡된 데이터로 동작을 하게 되고 이는 곧 선로의 사고를 발생시키게 된다. 따라서 왜란들을 사전에 방지하여 기기 오동작 및 부동작을 예방하기 위해서 산업계에서는 왜란에 대한 인식을 지속적으로 증가시키고 있다. 실제 현장에서도 이와 같은 왜란으로 인해 기기 오동작을 하는 경우가 많으며 이를 해결하기 위한 여러 신호처리 기법을 적용하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 여러 종류의 샘플링 데이터 량을 생성할 수 있도록 샘플링 속도를 다변환(Multi-interchange)하고 각 샘플링 속도에 맞게 계측된 샘플링 데이터를 DFT 신호 처리하여 왜란으로부터 강건한 계통 주파수를 계측한다. 또한, 주파수 별 DFT 값을 Table화 하여 계통 주파수를 찾아낸다.
