In this paper, level instrument is implemented using beat frequency for distance measurement which means the difference between Tx and Rx signal frequency from FMCW Radar Level Transmitter. Beat frequency is analyzed through Fast Fourier Transform of which frequency precision can be improved by applying Zoom FFT. Distance precision is improved from 146.5[mm] to 5[mm] using the advantage of Zoom FFT which can raise the frequency precision without changing the sampling frequency or FFT point number to be fixed in the beginning of designing signal processing. Also, measurement error can be reduced within 2[mm] by incresing the FFT points using the method of Spline interpolation. For verifying the effectiveness of this Zoom FFT to FMCW Radar Level Transmitter, test bench is made to measure the distance for every 1[mm] between 700[mm] and 2000[mm] and measurement error can be checked in the range of ${\pm}2$[mm].

In this paper, we proposed a novel compact microstrip lowpass filter with an ultra-wide stopband and a sharp cutoff frequency response. To improve the cutoff response of the conventional filter, the coupling effect between two open stubs is used. The slot on the ground with conventional shunt open stubs plays an important role of increasing the stopband at a high frequency. The combination of these structures gives the filter the characteristics of an ultra-wide stopband with a prominent cutoff sharpness. The fabricated microstrip lowpass filter with the size of 19.2 mm $\times$ 14.9 mm has -3 dB cutoff frequency at 1.1 GHz and -20 dB stopband from 1.5 GHz to over 30 GHz. The insertion loss is less than -0.15 dB in the passband.

In this paper, a new split ring resonator using left-handed meta-material adapted in a bandpass filter with 2-stages is suggested. In this proposed bandpass filter, the size of the novel resonator can be easily controlled. Also, the bandwidth can be adjusted with the position of the tapped-line. The proposed resonator and filter has the center frequency of 10 GHz for I-band in military-satellite communication system with the Qe value of 184. The experimental results of the filter show that the insertion and return losses are 1.43 dB and 16.8 dB with bandwidth of 10 %, respectively.

This paper describes a new method of directional filter-based analysis for fingerprint enhancement. Fingerprint cages can be represented by direction field of regular structure of ridge patterns. The dominant directional component of ridge plays a very important role in pre-processing steps of fingerprint image analysis such as ridge's linking and noise removal for minutiae extraction. A directional filter bank analyzes input image into directional subband images and synthesizes them to the perfectly reconstructed image. In this paper, a new fingerprint enhancement algorithm based on a directional filter bank is proposed. The algorithm decomposes the fingerprint image into subband images in the analysis stage, accomplishes an enhance procedure by processing subband images in the enhance stage and synthesizes them to the enhanced image in the synthesis stage.

UFMC is known as a candidate for the 5G wireless communication system because it is robust against ICI and better performs in asynchronous situation than OFDM. In the UFMC system, the filtering is performed for each subband so the performance of the filter is very important. The Dolph-Chebyshev filter has been used in conventional UFMC system because of its small out-of-band radiation. However it has distortion in the sub-band and skirt characteristics is not good enough. Therefore, it is necessary to study a new type of UFMC filter which reduces the distortion in the subband and has sharp skirt characteristics. In this paper we analyze the effect of filter frequency response in UFMC system and suggest the wavelet based type of filter that substitutes the Dolph-ChebyShev filter used in the conventional UFMC system. The simulation results show that wavelet filter has better BER performance in multipath fading channels than conventional filters.

In this paper, a Ka-band LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramic) narrow bandpass filter (BPF) is firstly presented. This BPF shows very narrow 3dB fractional bandwidth of 4.5 ％ centered at 28.7㎓. The advantages of multi-layered LTCC technology such as high integration and vertical stacking capabilities were employed to design three-dimensional interdigital end-coupled embedded microstrip narrow BPF. The difficulties in controlling the precise distance between two adjacent resonators in LTCC end-coupled BPF were overcome by locating the resonators on different layers. The measured insertion loss is 3dB at 28.7㎓, pass band is from 27.9 ㎓ to 29.2 ㎓, and the return loss in the pass band is less than 10 dB.

As an FMT (Filtered Multi-Tone) transmission method of Wideband VHF communication system specified by the ETS (European Telecommunications Standards) EN 300 392-2, this paper introduces three existing realization methods, i.e., the direct filtering method using different band SRRC (Square-Root Raised Cosine) filters for each subcarrier, the PPN-DFT method using the IDFT-PPN (Poly-Phase Network) and PPN-DFT at the transmitter and receiver, respectively, and the Extended DFT method. Then, it proposes the extended IDFT-SDFT (Sliding Discrete Fourier Transform) that computes the DFT values only for interested subcarriers every sample time, and shows that it has an advantage of blind symbol timing (using no training symbol) individually for each user signal (independently of other users' signals) in the multi-user environment where the subcarriers are assigned in contiguous or interleaved blocks to each user and each user signal possibly experiences different channels.

Since CORDIC (COordinate Rotation DIgital Computer) is able to carry out the phase operation, such as vector to phase conversion or rotation of vectors, with adders and shifters, it is well suited for the design of the frequency synchronization unit in OFDM receivers. It is not easy, however, to fully utilize the CORDIC in the OFDM demodulator because of the non-linear characteristics of the direction sequence (DS), which is the representation of the phase in CORDIC. In this paper a new representation method is proposed to linearize the direction sequence approximately. The maximum phase error of the linearized binary direction sequence (LBDS) is also discussed. For the purpose of designing the hardware, the architectures for the binary DS (BDS) to LBDS converter and the LBDS to BDS inverse converter are illustrated. Adopting LBDS, the overall frequency synchronization hardware for OFDM receivers can be implemented fully utilizing CORDIC and general arithmetic operators, such as adders and multipliers, for the phase estimation, loop filtering of the frequency offset, derotation for the frequency offset correction. An example of the design of 22 bit LBDS for the T-DMB demodulator is also presented.
