Network Mobility Basic Support protocol enables mobile network to change their point of attachment to the Internet, but causes some problems such as suboptimal muting and multiple encapsulations. The proposed scheme, combining Prefix Delegation protocol with HMIPv6 concept can provide more effective route optimization and reduce the amount of packet losses and the burden of location registration for handoff. It also uses hierarchical mobile network prefix (HMNP) assignment and provides tree-based routing mechanism to allocate the location address of mobile network nodes (MNNs) and support micro-mobility. In this scheme, Mobility Management Router (MMR) not only maintains the binding informations for all MNNs in nested mobile networks, but also supports binding procedures to reduce the volume of handoff signals oyer the mobile network. The performance is evaluated using NS-2.

We designed a silicon pressure sensor interface circuit with digital calibration capability. The interface circuit is composed of an analog section and a digital section. The analog section amplifies the weak signal from the sensor and the digital section handles the calibration function and communication function between the chip and outside microcontroller that controls the calibration. The digital section is composed of I2C serial interface, memory, trimming register and controller. The I2C serial interface is optimized to suit the need of on-chip silicon microsensor in terms of number of IO pins and silicon area. The major part of the design is to build a controller circuit that implements the optimized I2C protocol. The designed chip was fabricated through IDEC's MPW. We also made a test board and the test result showed that the chip performs the digital calibration function very well as expected.

We propose new pulse shapes for FCC-compliant ultra-wideband (UWB) radios. The projections onto convex sets (POCS) technique is used to optimize temporal and spectral shapes of UWB pulses under the constraints of all of the desired UWB signal properties: efficient spectral utilization under the FCC spectral mask, time-limitedness, and good autocorrelation. Simulation results show that for all values of the pulse duration, the new pulse shapes not only meet the FCC spectral mask most efficiently, but also have nearly the same autocorrelation functions. It is also observed that our truncated (i.e., strictly time-limited) pulse shapes outperform the truncated Gaussian monocycle in the BER performance of binary TH-PPM systems for the same pulse durations. The POCS technique provides an effective method for designing UWB pulse shapes in terms of its inherent design flexibility and joint optimization capability.

Vertical wet equipment for the BGA develop process was newly developed substituted for conventional horizontal wet equipment. The benefits of vertical equipment are that the pattern damages generated by the collision between the patterns and transferring rollers can be eliminated because the direct contact between the equipment's transferring units and the soft dry film patterns does not occurs. Taguchi experiment was conducted to optimize the process characteristics for the vertical equipment. The experiment was organized as the smaller the better problem which includes adequate uncontrollable factor and controllable factors. The uncontrollable factors are the 4 sides of two panels which are loaded to the equipment at the same time. By the analysis of the experiment, temperature of the develop chemicals and develop spraying time are analyzed as the main controllable factors. Finally, line pattern's minimum width which is not damaged for the develop process was improved from $13.8{\mu}m$ for the horizontal equipment to $10.4{\mu}m$ for the vertical equipment. And dot pattern's minimum width is improved from $22.1{\mu}m$ to $16.3{\mu}m$.

In this paper, we suggests a Ka-band LNB considering next-generation UHD satellite TVRO. Since Ka-band has grater attenuation than Ku-band in atmosphere, we designed the low-noise down-converter to improve receiving sensitivity and to extend a dynamic range of receiver. It aims to compensate a quality of ultra high definition transmission signal for rainfall. The low-noise block diagram consists of a three-staged amplifier (LNA), band-pass filter for deleting image (BPF), mixer and IF when considering nonlinear characteristics in the receiver RF front end module. Also, we showed a LNB through optimization processes affecting dynamic range directly in receiver FEM. Asa resuly of experiment, the gain of low-noise down-converter show between 58.5dB and 60.7dB, the noise figure has a high characteristic as 1.38dB. Finally, the phase noise of local oscillator is -63.10dBc at 100MHz offset frequency.

With the development of advanced industries, research on image processing hardware is essential, and timing verification at the gate level is required for actual chip operation. For FPGA-based verification, DDR3 memory interface was previously applied. But recently, as the FPGA specification has improved, DDR4 memory is used. In this case, when a previously used memory interface is applied, the timing mismatch of signals may occur and thus cannot be used. This is due to the difference in performance between CPU and memory. In this paper, the problem is solved through state optimization of the existing interface system FSM. In this process, data read speed is doubled through AXI Data Width modification. For actual case analysis, ZC706 using DDR3 memory and ZCU106 using DDR4 memory among Xilinx's SoC boards are used.

In this paper, the wavelet watermarking algorithm based on adaptive weight MASK processing as a watermark embedded-method for Copyright Protection of Digital contents is Proposed. Because watermark induce as a noise of original image, the watermark size should be limited for preventing quality losses and embedding watermark into images. Therefore, it should be preserve the best condition of the factors, robustness, capacity and visual quality. Tn order to solve this problem, we propose watermarking embedded method by applying adaptive weight MASK to the algorithm and optimize its efficiency. In that result, the watermarked images are improved about external attack. Specifically, correlation coefficient has over 0.8 on both modifications of brightness and contrast. Also, correlation coefficient of wavelet compression of embedded watermark last by over 0.65.

A strip sensor based on $PbO_2$/carbon paste electrode was prepared by a screen-printing method, and employed to electrochemically determine the concentration of fruit sweeteners(i.e. glucose, sucrose, and fructose). The $PbO_2$/carbon paste electrode could monitor electrocatalytic oxidation of organic compounds such as carbohydrates, and measure the levels of natural sweeteners without enzyme. Severe interference from ascorbic acid was effectively reduced by modifying the electrode surface with a Nafion membrane. The response level of the Nafion/$PbO_2$/carbon paste electrode increased in the order of fructose, sucrose, and glucose, which corresponds to the order of sweetness perceived by humans.

본 연구에서는 Photoconductor materials 기반의 평판형 X-ray Detector film 제작에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 기존의 광도전성 물질로 사용되어 오던 비정질 셀레늄(Amorphous seleinum; a-Se) 기반의 디지털 방사선 검출기 보다 높은 신호 및 동작 특성을 가지는 Mercury Iodide(HgI2)와 열적, 전기적 특성이 안정적이며, 소자의 동작특성이 우수한 Lead Oxide(PbO) 기반의 X-ray Detector film의 개발에 있어서 각각 HgI2 및 PbO 두 물질 층을 적정비율에 맞추어 제작함으로써 최적의 X-ray Detector를 구현하고자 하였다. 이는 빠른 영상획득을 통해 기존의 방식이 가지는 문제점을 해결하고 의료기기 디지털화를 구현할 수 있는 차세대 시스템을 개발하고자 하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 진공증착법의 두꺼운 대면적 필름의 제조가 어려운 문제점을 해결하고자 Particle In Binder method(PIB) 방법을 이용하여 $3"{\times}3"$사이즈의 두께 $200{\mu}m$의 다결정의 Photoconductor 필름을 제조하여 전기적 특성을 평가하였다. 제작된 필름의 전기적 특성을 dark current, X-선 sensitivity와 SNR(Signal to -Noise Rate) 등을 측정하여 정량적으로 평가 하였다. 기준 실험으로 진행한 DG 2.1 바인더를 사용한 single-HgI2 층에서 보다 높은 sensitivity 값을 보였지만 높은 dark current로 인해 SNR이 떨어지는 결과를 볼 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제시하는 두 Photoconductor material의 Soaking method를 이용한 실험에서는 single-HgI2에 해당하는 높은 sensitivity 및 저감된 dark current로 인해 높은 SNR 값을 획득하였다. 하지만 습도와 같은 주변 환경에 의한 재현성 문제로 인한 신호값의 불안정성에 대한 문제점도 남아 있으므로, 차후 최적화된 material 제작 공정을 위한 연구가 꾸준히 진행 되어져야 할 것이다.

In this paper, the compact model for FinFET gate resistance is developed. Based on the FinFET geometry and material, the value of the gate resistance is extracted by Y-parameter analysis using 3D device simulator, Sentaurus. By dividing the gate resistance into horizontal and vertical components, the proposed gate resistance model captures the non-linear characteristics. The proposed compact model reflects the realistic gate structure which has two different materials (Tungsten, TiN) stacked. Using the proposed model, the number of fins for the minimum gate resistance can be proposed based on the variation of gate geometrical parameters. The proposed gate resistance model is implemented in BSIM-CMG. A ring-oscillator is designed, and its delay performance is compared with and without gate resistance.
