A highly accurate wide swing BiCMOS cascode current mirror is proposed. It uses the base-current compensated BJT current mirror. It increases both output impedance and output voltage range by using the npn-NMOS cascode instead of the NMOS-NMOS cascode. The npn transistor copies the input current and the NMOS transistor increases the output impedance for the accurate current mirroring. The proposed current mirror achieves highly constant current for wide output voltage range. Simulation results were verified with measurements performed on a fabricated chip using a 5/16V 0.5um BCD process. It has only $-2.5%{\sim}1.0%$ current error for $0.3V{\sim}16V$ output voltage range.

In this study, a method of designing a neurointerface using neural network (NN) is proposed for controlling nonholonomic mobile robots. According to the concept of virtual master-slave robots, in particular, a partially stable inverse dynamic model of the master robot is acquired online through the NN by applying a feedback-error learning method, in which the feedback controller is assumed to be based on a PD compensator for such a nonholonomic robot. The NN for the online feedback-error learning can composed that the input layer consists of six units for the inputs $x_i$, i=1~6, the hidden layer consists of two hidden units for hidden outputs $o_j$, j=1~2, and the output layer consists of two units for the outputs ${\tau}_k$, k=1~2. A tracking control problem is demonstrated by some simulations for a nonholonomic mobile robot with two-independent driving wheels. The initial q value was set to [0, 5, ${\pi}$].

This paper presents a polyphase down sampling based multiple description coding applied to H.264 video coding standard. For a given macroblock, a residual macroblock is calculated by motion estimation, and before applying DCT, quantization and entrophy coding of the H.264 coding process, the polyphase down sampling is applied to the residual macroblock to code in four separate descriptions. Experiments were performed for all the 9 test sequences of JVT SVC standardization in various packet loss patterns. Experimental results show that the proposed one gives 0.5 to 5 dB enhancement over an error-concealment based on the slice group map technolgoy.

DFT-spread OFDM(Discrete Fourier Transform-Spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is very effective for solving the PAPR(Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) problem. Therefore, the SC-FDMA(Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access) which is basically same to the DFT spread OFDM was adopted as the uplink standard of the 3GPP LTE ($3^{rd}$ Generation Partnership Project Long Term Evolution). Unlike the ordinary OFDM system, the SC-FDMA using DFT spreading method is vulnerable to the ICI(Inter-Carrier Interference) problem caused by the phase noise and IQ(In-phase/Quadrature) imbalance and effected FDE(Frequency Domain Equalizer). In this paper, the ICI effects from the phase noise and IQ imbalance which can be problems in uplink transmission are analyzed according the back-off level of HPA. Next, we propose the equalizer algorithm to remove the ICI effects. This proposed equalizer based on the FDE can be considered as up-graded and improved version of PNS(Phase Noise Suppression) algorithm. This proposed equalizer effectively compensates the ICI resulting from the phase noise and IQ imbalance. Finally, through the computer simulation, it can be shown that about SNR=14 dB is required for the $BER=10^{-4}$ after ICI compensation when the back-off is 4.5 dB, $\varepsilon=0.005$, $\phi=5^{\circ}$, and $pn=0.06\;rad^2$.

In this paper, we propose a layered video coding scheme which can generate multi-layered bitstream for heterogeneous environments. A new motion prediction structure with temporal hierarchy of frames is developed to afford temporal resolution scalability and the wavelet decomposition is adopted to offer spatial acalability. The proposed scheme can have a higher compression ratio than replenishment schemes by using motion estimation and compensation which can further reduce the temporal redundancy, and it effectively works with dynamic adaption or errors using dispersive intra-subband update (DISU). Moreover, data rate scalability can be attained by employing embeded zerotree wavelet (EZW) technique which can produce embeded bitstream. Therefore, the proposed scheme is expected to be effectively used in heterogeneous environments such as the Internet, ATM, and mobile networks where interoperability are required.

In design of a digital current controller for a 3cP PWM converter, its conventional model is used in obtaining i its discretized version. But, it has errors since the characteristics of SVPWM and time delay are not taken i into consideration. In this paper, the new reference frame model of a 3c~ PWJVI converter is proposed C considering these problems. Also, the direct digital current controller based on this model is designed without a any extra algolithm. A simple tuning algorithm for the proposed current controller is given to compensate the i inductaηce mismatch problem. Then simulation and experimental results show the validity of the algolithm.

This paper presents the 3D wavelet based video compression system using quad-tree algorithm. The 3D wavelet based video compression system removes the temporal correlation of the input sequences using the motion compensation filter and decomposes the spatio-temporal subband using the spatial wavelet transform. The proposed system allocates the higher bit rate to the low frequency image of the 3D wavelet sequences and improves the 0.64dB PSNR performance of the reconstructed image in comparison with that of H.263. In addition to the limitation on the propagation of the motion compensation error by the 3D wavelet transform, the proposed system progressively transmits the input sequence according to the resolution and rate scalability.

This paper explains the impact of frequency error on the performance of WCDMA mobile communication systems and what brings about the frequency error between the base station and the mobile station, and then presents automatic frequency error correction method in mobile receiver. On the basis of system requirement related to frequency stability, the integration test between the base station and the mobile station was accomplished. After applying automatic frequency error correction to mobile receiver, 4 Hz of frequency error at transmitting frequency was obtained. The result met frequency error requirement of ${\pm}$0.1 ppm(about ${\pm}$200 ㎐). Performance degradation due to frequency error was measured by means of Error Vector Magnitude(EVM) at transmitter and Ec/Io at receiver, respectively and then the interface requirement between Modem control signal and RF was suggested to improve the correctness of frequency error control.

This paper present effective odometry error compensation using multisensor fusion for the accurate positioning of mobile robot in navigation. During obstacle avoidance and wall following of mobile robot, position estimates obtained by odometry become unrealistic and useless because of its accumulated errors. To measure the position and heading direction of mobile robot accurately, odometry sensor a gyroscope and an azimuth sensor are mounted on mobile robot and Complementary-filter is designed and implemented in order to compensate complementary drawback of each sensor and fuse their information. The experimental results show that the multisensor fusion system is more accurate than odometry only in estimation of the position and direction of mobile robot.

This paper presents three algorithms of repetitive controller for compensation of the repeatable runout in hard disk drive. The basic theory of the repetitive controller and the analysis of the disturbance in hard disk drive are introduced. The tracking controller is designed in order to design the "plug-in type" repetitive controller. Design of the repetitive controller is considered as the design of the filter, determination of gain and design of additional compensation for the various types. Specially, trade-off relationship between stability and performance is important for the design. The three kinds of "plug-in type" repetitive controllers are designed, simulated and experimented. Performance and characteristic of them are compared with the analysis of the experimental results.
