In this paper, we propose a lossy MTM transmission line unit cell and retrieve the parameter values related with radiation effects. Based on this unit cell model, we plot dispersion diagrams and analyze resonance conditions. We also discuss the input impedance or admittance behavior when we terminate the load as open or short. Then, we examine the quality factor and return loss bandwidth. We also design a very compact unit cell antenna using the provided lossy MTM-TL model. The results based on EM simulations and measurements are shown to be in good agreement with those based on circuit simulation.

Although different types of discharge cells exist, in common it is the primary goal for all discharge cells to have lower drive voltages and higher efficiency characteristics. To improve these factors, many studies are conducted that prolong the discharge path inside the discharge cell or change the composition of the working gas. In this paper, the two-dimensional fluid simulation was used to calculate the discharge voltage (firing voltage and sustain voltage) and the change in luminance and luminous efficacy according to the change in gap distance between discharge electrodes. In addition, we looked at changes in various charged particles, exciting particles and VUV particles, and studied the causes of the resulting values.

When providing MPEG-2 video service through the ATM network, the degradation of QoS caused by cell losses and cell errors occuring from ATM netwok was assessed by the end-users subjectively and then the relation between CLR, CER and subjective QoS of MPEG-2 video was analyzed. Cell losses and cell errors occuring from the ATM network were generated according to the normal and exponential distribution by NEM module. Video sources were divided into sports and drama by moving feature and were tested. The results of our experiments show that the excellent quality of subjective QoS grade 5 was achieved for a cell loss rate of $2{\times}10^{-7}$ and for a cell error rate of $2{\times}10^{-7}$ and the good quality of subjective QoS grade 4 was achieved for a cell loss rate of $2{\times}10^{-6}$ and for a cell error rate of $2{\times}10^{-6}$ When providing MPEC-2 video service through the ATM network, the results of our experiments will be used as valuable information to determine the network performance objectives for satisfying the QoS required by the end-users and to design the network.

It is widely accepted that the coverage with high user densities in mobile multimedia environments can only be achieved with small cell such as micro- and pico-cell. The smaller cell size causes frequent handovers between cells and a decrease in the permissible handover processing delay. This may result in the handover failure, in addition to the loss of some packets during the handover. In these cases, re-transmission is needed in order to compensate errors, which triggers a rapid degradation of throughput. In this paper, we propose a new handover scheme in the next generation mobile communication systems, in which the handover setup process is done in advance before a handover request by predicting the handover cell based on mobile terminal's current position and moving direction. Simulation is focused on the handover failure rate and packet loss rate. The simulation results show that our proposed method provides a better performance than the conventional method.

This paper deals with a standard cell placement which is based on a quadratic programming. This paper proposes a new additional force to reduce the cell overlap and to get a uniform distribution of cells. The additional force is not concerned with interconnections between cells, but it is determined by the density of a placement area. In this paper, we modelled that the new additional force is a force which is caused by the dummy fixed cell. And it is used for the global placement. Proposed placement method is compared with TimberWolf v7.0 and Itools vl.4. Proposed placer achieved 7.5% average reduction in wirelength in non timing driven mode, 5.0% average reduction in wlrelength in timing driven mode compared to TimberWolf v7.0. And we got a comparable result to Itools vl.4.

In this paper, the issue of the differential ring oscillator in designing low phase noise is linearity improvement of delay cell's load resistor. A novel differential delay cell that improves on the Maneatis load is proposed. The linearity improvement of load resistor results in lower phase noise in ring oscillator. For comparison of the phase noise characteristics, Ali Hajimiri's phase noise model is used. In order to have a low ISF(impulse sensitivity function), it is important to have a symmetry between rise time and fall time of oscillation waveform. The ISF value of ing oscillator based on the proposed delay cell is lower than that of the existing ring oscillators. Due to this result, the phase noise is improved by 2~3dBc/Hz for the same power dissipation and oscillation frequency.

나노섬유(nanofiber), 나노선(nanowire), 그리고 나노튜브(nanotube)와 같은 1차원 구조의(one-dimensional structure) 나노재료는 벌크(bulk) 및 박막(film) 재료와는 다르게 물리적, 화학적으로 특이한 성질을 가지고 있으며, 이러한 성질은 나노재료의 구조, 형상, 크기 등에 큰 영향을 받는다. 첫 째, 전기방사(electrospinning) 공정을 이용한 나노섬유의 합성; 용액의 특성, 전기장 세기, 방사시간 등의 변수를 조절하게 되면 방출되는 재료의 형상을 입자 혹은 섬유상의 형태로 얻을 수 있으며, 전기방사를 통해 합성된 나노재료의 소결 온도 및 시간을 달리함으로써 나노입자의 크기를 조절할 수 있다. 또한, 템플레이트 합성법(template synthesis) 및 이중노즐(coaxial nozzle)을 이용해 속이 빈 형태인 중공(hollow) 구조의 나노섬유를 얻을 수 있으며, 전기방사에 사용되는 전구물질에 원하는 금속 및 산화물을 첨가함으로써 복합체(composite) 나노섬유를 얻을 수 있다. 둘 째, VLS(Vapor-Liquid-Solid) 공정을 이용한 나노선의 성장; 온도, 압력, 전구물질의 양, 그리고 시간 등의 변수를 조절하게 되면 원하는 직경 및 길이를 갖는 나노선을 성장시킬 수 있다. 그리고 ALD(Atomic Layer Deposition)를 이용해 나노선에 추가적인 층을 형성함으로써 코어-셀 구조를 형성할 수 있으며, 감마선, UV와 같은 공정을 이용해 귀금속 촉매를 나노선에 기능화 시킬 수도 있다. 코어-셀 구조를 갖는 나노선/나노섬유는 코어 혹은 셀 층의 전자나 홀의 이동을 유발하여 전자공핍층(electron depletion layer) 또는 정공축적층(hole accumulation layer)을 확대 및 축소시켜 센서의 초기저항을 증가시키거나 감소시키는 역할로써 이용되고 있으며, 특히, 셀 층의 두께가 셀 층 재료의 Debye length와 유사한 크기를 갖게 되면, 셀 층은 완전공핍층(fully depleted layer)을 형성해 최대의 감도를 나타낼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 제조 공정을 통해 제작될 수 있는 1차원 나노-구조물을 가스센서에 적용하는 사례들을 소개하고, 이러한 가스센서의 감응성능을 향상시키기 위한 방법의 한 가지로 원자층증착법으로 나노선/나노섬유의 표면에 셀층을 형성하여 감응성 향상 메커니즘 및 관련 주요 변수들을 조사하고자 한다.

In this paper, we propose ATM switch structure including AAL type 2 switch which can efficiently transmit low-bit rate data, even if the network has many endpoints. We simulate the architecture of ATM switch fabric that is modeled in computer program and analyze the performance according to offered loads. ATM switch proposed in this paper can support cell switching for all types of AAL cells which consist of AAL type 1, AAL type 2, AAL type 3/4, and AAL type 5 cells. We propose two switch fabric methods; One supports the AAL type 2 cell processing per input port, the other global AAL type 2 cell processing for every input port. The simulation results show that the latter is superior to the former. But the former has a merit for easy implementation and extensibility. The proposed ATM switch fabric is widely applicable to mobile communication, narrow band services over ATM network and wireless ATM as well as general ATM switching fabric.

This paper suggests an advanced 8T SRAM which can operate properly in subthreshold voltage regime. The memory cell consists of symmetric 8 transistors, in which the latch storing data is controlled by a column-wise assistline. During the read, the data storage nodes are temporarily decoupled from the read path, thus eliminating the read disturbance. Additionally, the cell keeps the noise-vulnerable 'low' node close to the ground, thereby improving the dummy-read stability. In the write, the boosted wordline facilitates to change the contents of the memory bit. At 0.4 V supply, the advanced 8T cell achieves 65% higher dummy-read stability and 3.7 times better write-ability compared to the commercialized 8T cell. The proposed cell and circuit techniques have been verified in a 16-kbit SRAM array designed with an industrial 180-nm low-power CMOS process.
