This paper presents the multi-band mixer which converts a X-, K- and Ka-band adaptively by adjusting the gate-bias voltage of an active device. The proposed mixer presented a conversion loss of -10 dB at -0.8 V gate-bias voltage for X-band, a conversion loss of -9 dB at -0.3 V gate-bias voltage for K-band and for Ka-band, a conversion loss of -7 dB at -0.2 V gate-bias voltage under the LO power of +6.0 dBm. The 1dB compression point (P1dB) is +0.5 dBm for all band.

시청자의 시점 위치를 선택하여 360VR 콘텐츠를 경험하는 다중시점 또는 자유시점 360VR 콘텐츠의 전송은 매우 높은 대역폭을 소비하게 된다. 특히 다중 사용자가 존재하는 셀룰러 환경에서는 특정 사용자에게 한정된 대역폭만을 할당할 수 있으므로 불가피하게 전송 품질 악화 또는 전송 지연을 겪게 된다. 다중시점(multi-viewpoint) 360VR 콘텐츠의 경우 시청자가 시점의 위치를 변경하면 해당 위치의 콘텐츠를 전송하므로, 한정된 대역폭이 주어지는 통신환경에서 시점을 이동할 때 마다 큰 전송 지연을 겪게되어 사용자 경험이 매우 떨어지는 것을 예상할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 다시점 360 비디오에서 시점 변경을 시도할 때 전송지연을 줄이기 위하여 주변 위치의 영상을 적절히 Pre-Loading 하는 전송방식을 고려하고, 실질적인 5G 네트워크 환경에서 시점 변환에 따른 지연시간 성능을 분석하였다. 특정 수준 이하로 지연시간을 낮추기 위해서는 사용자 이동패턴에 대한 적절한 예측 기법이 요구되며, 정확도에 따른 지연시간 감소를 실험을 통하여 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 MODIS(MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) 다중 위성영상을 기반으로 전국 시공간 토양수분 및 토양수분 기반의 가뭄지수 SWDI(Soil Water Deficit Index)를 산정하였다. 시공간 토양수분의 산정을 위해 입력자료로 MODIS 위성의 지표면온도(Land Surface Temperature, LST), 증발산 및 식생(Enhanced Vegetation Index, EVI; Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation, FPAR; Leaf Area Index, LAI; Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, NDVI) 관련 산출물 자료와 지상 관측자료인 일 단위 강수량 자료를 구축하였다. MODIS 위성영상은 산출물별로 제공되는 QC(Quality Control) 영상을 활용해 보정을 수행하였고, 공간 강수량 자료는 기상청에서 제공하는 전국 92개 지점의 종관기상관측자료를 구축하여 공간보간기법인 역거리가중법을 적용해 생성하였다. 실측 토양수분은 농촌진흥청에서 제공하는 76개 지점의 토양 깊이 10 cm에 설치된 TDR(Time Domain Reflectomerty) 센서에서 측정된 토양수분 자료를 활용하였으며, 토양수분 모의 시 토양 속성을 고려하기 위해 국립농업과학원에서 제공하는 토양도를 구축하여 활용하였다. 토양수분 산정 모형은 다중선형회귀모형(Multiple Linear Regression Model, MLRM)을 활용하였으며, 계절 및 토성에 따른 회귀식을 산정하였다. 회귀식 기반의 토양수분과 토성별 포장용수량 및 영구위조점 값을 이용하여 SWDI를 산정하고, 실제 가뭄 발생 시기 및 지역과의 비교하고자 한다.

This paper describes a design of variable-length FFT/IFFT processor (VL_FCore) for OFDM-based multi-standard communication systems. The VL_FCore adopts in-place single-memory architecture, and uses a hybrid structure of radix-4 and radix-2 DIF algorithms to accommodate various FFT lengths in the range of $N=64{\times}2^k\;(0{\leq}k{\leq}7)$. To achieve both memory size reduction and the improved SQNR, a two-step conditional scaling technique is devised, which conditionally scales the intermediate results of each computational stage. The performance analysis results show that the average SQNR's of 64~8,192-point FFT's are over 60-dB. The VL_FCore synthesized with a $0.35-{\mu}m$ CMOS cell library has 23,000 gates and 32 Kbytes memory, and it can operate with 75-MHz@3.3-V clock. The 64-point and 8,192-point FFT's can be computed in $2.25-{\mu}s$ and $762.7-{\mu}s$, respectively, thus it satisfies the specifications of various OFDM-based systems.

In the present study, Loop scheme is applied to generate smooth surfaces. To be consistent with the limit points of target surface, the initial sampling points are properly rearranged. The pointwise errors of curvature and position in the sequence of subdivision process are evaluated in the Loop subdivision scheme. A first-order shear deformable Loop subdivision triangular element which can handle transverse shear deformation of moderately thick shell are developed. The developed element is more general than the previous one based on classical shell theory, since the new one includes the effect of transverse shear deformation and has standard six degrees of freedom per node. The quartic box spline function is used as interpolation basis function. Numerical examples for the benchmark static shell problems are analyzed to assess the performance of the developed subdivision shell element and locking trouble.

In this paper, an optimal determination method of the subband-frame size and mode-switching level is proposed for adaptive OFDM-TDD systems in frequency-selective time-varying channels. The optimization problem considering frequency selectivity. user's mobility, and the signaling overhead caused by the mode change information is formulated in the maximum spectral efficiency sense satisfying the target BER. Assuming that subband-frame size is given, the mode-switching level is first optimized so that the spectral efficiency can be maximized satisfying the target BER. The subband-frame size among candidates is then determined, which maximizes the spectral efficiency. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms conventional schemes, in terms of the spectral efficiency and the BER.

This paper analyzes DLL(Delay lock loop) under the multipath fading effects. The evaluated performance measures include the steady-state timing error probability density function (PDF) and the mean-time-to-lose-lock (MTLL) under multipath fading effects. The discriminator characteristic S(${\epsilon}$) is shown to be zero at the point of timing error ${\epsilon}_{0}$ that is not zero, and the MTLL decreases as the delayed signal power $g_{2}$ and delayed time ${\tau}_{d}$ increase. We approximate the steady-state timing error PDF linearly with these variables and evaluate the steady-state timing error PDF and MTLL. The severe multipath fading effects result lower MTLL, in this case we make MTLL larger by increasing the early-late discriminator offset ${\Delta}$. First, we calculate the timing error point ${\epsilon}_{0}$, and present the performance of DLL under multipath fading. The timing error PDF, MTLL and the performance of DLL with ${\Delta}$ are also investigated. And we conclude that the larger ${\Delta}$ makes a higher MTLL and a better performance of DLL under multipath fading effects.

Many studies have been performed since the introduction of GPS in Korea. As a result, positioning using GNSS was fully proposed. On the other hand, most of these studies focused on accuracy but analytical studies on the GNSS status and the national GNSS infrastructure of Korea are lacking. In this study, the status of multi-constellation GNSS and National Geographic Information Institute's CORS (Continuous Operating Reference Station) were identified for the benefit and direction of GNSS infrastructure enhancement. As a result, it has been operating Multi-constellation GNSS, such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, COMPASS, and QZSS for surveying. In addition, improvement was presented by the number of satellites, precision, PDOP, etc. through the experiment about VRS and RTK using Multi-constellation GNSS. Upgrading the infrastructure for satellite surveying was identified as a priority consideration. In the future, if a Multi-constellation GNSS service is possible in VRS service, the satisfaction of public administration service will improve, which will contribute greatly to the advancement of a surveying infrastructure.

One of the most important types of Customer Empowerment Strategy (CES) is select empowerment, where firms allow customers to vote on a product to be marketed. However, there is limited research on the advantages and disadvantages of select empowerment. In particular, there are few studies on the composition of a voting system. This study analyzes customer participation behavior, such as willingness to vote and strategic voting (i.e., voting for candidates not based on utility orders), under the different voting systems: 1) the number of votes per customer (single or multiple), and 2) the number of final choices (single or multiple). Uncertainty is proposed as a mediator that links the voting system difference and customer participation. Two research hypotheses are tested using multiple linear regression analysis and a natural effects model based on data from two online experiments. As a result, the multiple voting system (i.e., multiple winners are selected by customer votes) shows a direct positive effect on willingness to vote and strategic voting behavior. In addition, the result shows that uncertainty insignificantly mediates the relationship between the voting system and customer participation. Academic and managerial contributions are discussed with several future research directions.

We describe a design of a simple but efficient floatingpoint processing architecture expoiting concurrent execution of scalar instructions for high performance in general-purpose microprocessors. This architecture employs 3 stage pipeline asyncronously working with integer processing unit to regulate instruction flows between two arithmetic units.
