In this paper, we evaluate the performance of reverse link synchronous CDMA with orthogonal spreading and Rake combining, and compare this to that of an asynchronous transmission under Rayleigh multipath fading environments. The link performance is evaluated in terms of average bit error rate (BER) and capacity, assuming ideal BPSK data modulation. The focus of this paper is on the impact that the multipath intensity profile (MIP) shape and number of taps in Rake receiver have on the performance of synchronous transmission. The results show the reverse link synchronous transmission can always achieve smaller BER than the asynchronous transmission even if inter-path interference exists.

Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN) make use of low cost and energy constrained sensor nodes. Thus, reaching the successful execution of its tasks with low energy consumption is one of the most important issues. The limitation of existing hierarchical algorithms is that many times the data are transmitted to the opposite direction to the sink. In this paper, DDACM (Data Direction Aware Clustering Method) is proposed. In this method, the nearest node to the sink is elected as cluster head, and when its energy level reaches a threshold value, the cluster head is reelected. We also make a comparison with LEACH showing how this method can reduce the energy consumption minimizing the reverse direction data transmission.

Motion compensated extrapolation (MCE) techniques show inferior performance compared to motion compensated interpolation techniques, since only past frames are used in MCE. MCE techniques are used for the reconstruction of corrupted frames, the up-conversion of frame rates and the generation of side information in the distributed video coding system. In this paper, the performance of various MCE techniques are evaluated and an efficient MCE technique using the forward and backward motion estimation is proposed. In the proposed technique, the present frame is extrapolated by averaging two frames which are generated by forward and backward motion estimation respectively. It is shown that the proposed method produces better PSNR results and less blocking phenomena than conventional methods.

In this paper, We analyzed the current-voltage characteristics with n-type silicon substrates concentration and temperature variations (Room temperature, 5$0^{\circ}C$, 75$^{\circ}C$) in platinum silicide and silicon junction. Measurement electrical parameters are forward turn-on voltage, reverse breakdown voltage, barrier height, saturation current, ideality factor, dynamic resistance acceding to junction concentration of substrates and temperature variations. As a result, the forward turn-on voltage, reverse breakdown voltage, barrier height and dynamic resistance were decreased but saturation current and ideality factor were increased by substrates concentration variations. Reverse breakdown voltage and dynamic resistance were increased by temperature variations.

본 연구에서는 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 가볍고 내구성이 뛰어난 Al을 다양한 공정 조건에서 냉연 강판에 코팅하여 코팅층의 밀도 측정으로부터 치밀도를 알아보았다. 99.95% 순도의 Al 타겟을 사용하여 강판(냉연강판)과 실리콘 웨이퍼 시편에 증착시켰다. 시편은 알코올과 아세톤으로 초음파 세척을 하였으며 진공용기에서 펄스 전원 공급 장치를 이용하여 플라즈마 청정을 약 30분간 실시하였다. 시편 청정이 끝나면 ${\sim}10^{-6}$ Torr 까지 진공 배기를 실시하고, Ar 가스를 진공용기 내로 공급하여 ${\sim}10^{-3}$ Torr로 진공도를 유지하면서 스퍼터링으로 박막 코팅을 실시하였다. 전자석에 전류를 인가하지 않은 시편의 Al 코팅층 밀도는 bulk 밀도의 81%이며 전자석에 역방향 3 A의 전류를 인가시킨 시편의 Al 코팅층 밀도는 bulk 밀도의 약 94%를 보였다. Al 코팅층의 SEM 분석 결과, 스퍼터링 파워 증가에 따라 Al 코팅층 조직에 기공이 많아지고 두께가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 전자석의 순방향 전류가 증가하면 박막의 두께가 증가하고 치밀도가 낮아지는 반면 전자석의 역방향 전류가 증가할수록 Al 코팅층의 조직은 치밀해졌으며 전자석 전류를 역방향 3 A로 고정하고 스퍼터링 파워를 변화시켜 Al을 코팅하면 타겟 인가전압 1.5 A에서 가장 치밀한 Al 코팅층 조직을 얻을 수 있었다. 가장 치밀한 조직을 갖는 $1.57{\mu}m$의 Al 코팅층은 염수분무 시작 후 약 48시간 후에도 적청이 전면적의 5% 이내로 발생하였다. 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 냉연강판에 Al을 증착하였고 치밀한 조직의 박막을 형성함으로써 냉연 강판의 내식성을 향상할 수 있는 공정기술을 개발하였다.

최근 한국을 포함한 여러 국가들에서 프로그래밍 교육이 중요시 되고 있다. 그러나 이런 상황으로 인해 더 많아진 학생들은 미숙함으로 인해 숙련자에 비해 더 많은 오류를 만나지만 이를 해결하기 위한 디버깅 실력은 아직 미숙하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 프로그래밍 교육 지원을 위한 초보자용 GUI 디버깅 도우미 UDB (Unity-DeBugger)를 제안한다. UDB는 제출한 학생 코드를 분석하여 반응형 추적표와 오류 로그를 생성하고 이를 기반으로 GUI 및 애니메이션으로 만들어 학생과 상호작용한다. 특히 UDB는 반응형 추적표를 통해 프로그램 안에 있는 변수들의 현재 상태를 보여주고 순방향 추적뿐만 아니라 기존 IDE의 디버깅 도구들과는 다르게 역방향 추적이 가능하다는 큰 특징이 있다. 이런 UDB를 예시 코드에 실제로 적용한 결과를 통해 미숙한 학생도 역방향 추적 기능을 사용하여 오류 원인을 쉽게 찾을 수 있음을 보인다.

This paper describes an implementation of radix-4 trellis parallel architecture and backward state transition control trace back Viterbi decoder, and presents the application results to high speed wireless LAN. The radix-4 parallelized architecture Vietrbi decoder can not only improve the throughput with simple structure, but also have small processing delay time and overhead circuit compared to M-step trellis architecture one. Based on these features, this paper addresses a novel Viterbi decoder which is composed of branch metric computation, architecture of ACS and trace back decoding by sequential control of backward state transition for the implementation of radix-4 trellis parallelized structure. With the proposed architecture, the decoding of variable code rate due to puncturing the base code can easily be implemented by the unified Viterbi decoder. Moreover, any additional circuit and/or peripheral control logic are not required in the proposed decoder architecture. The trace back decoding scheme with backward state transition control can carry out the sequential decoding according to ACS cycle clock without additional circuit for survivor memory control. In order to evaluate the usefulness, the proposed method is applied to channel CODEC of the IEEE 802.11a high speed wireless LAN, and HDL coding simulation results are presented.

In this paper, we propose a numerical analysis on reversed current of distributed amplifier based on transmission line theory and proposed a theory to obtain optimum transmission line length to minimize the reversed currents by cancelling those components. The reversed current is analyzed as being simply absorbed into the terminal resistance in the conventional analysis. In the proposed analysis, however, they are designed to be cancelled by each other with opposite phase by the optimal length of the transmission lint Circuit simulation and implementation using pHEMT transistor were performed to validate the proposed theory with the cutoff frequency of 3.6 GHz. From the measurement, maximum gain of 14.5dB and minimum gain of 12.3dB were achieved In the operation band. Moreover, measured efficiency of the proposed distributed amplifier is 25.6% at 3 GHz, which is 7.6%, higher than the conventional distributed amplifier. Measured output power Is about 10.9dBm, achieving 1.7dB higher output power than the conventional one. Those improvement is thought to be based on the cancellation of refersed current.
