This paper presents an implementation of a millimeter-wave(W band) multiflare-angle horn antenna. The proposed antenna is a multimode dual-polarized square horn having equal E- and H-plane beamwidths and consists of a multimode generating section, a four-square-waveguide exciter, orthomode transducers, and power combiners for the sum pattern formation. The antenna structure has been designed to allow for easy fabrication and the designed antenna has been fabricated to a precision of ${\pm}0.02mm$ by layer-by-layer machining and diffusion bonding. The input reflection coefficient and the radiation pattern of the fabricated antenna have been measured using a network analyzer and a far-field test facility. Measurements show that the proposed antenna has 17.7~18.3 dBi gain, $25.2{\sim}28.5^{\circ}$ beamwidth, and an input VSWR between 1.02~1.75, within ${\pm}0.5GHz$ from the center frequency.

While the broadband network and multimedia technologies have been developing, the commercial market of digital contents has also been widely spreading with recently starting IPTV. Generally, PC player can display digital contents obtained through middleware like a settop box and can only bring the informations about contents like CODEC, bitrate etc. useful for only experts. But general users want to know more optional informations like content's subject, description etc. So unlike previous PC player, we proposed a player system that can get inserted informations, namely EPG(Electronic Program Guide), without database after bringing contents to PC through settop box. In addition, we also proposed DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) based blind watermark generating method to insert EPG informations. We can extract watermark without original image and insert robust watermark in proportion to coefficients in frequency domain. And we analyzed and parsed PSI data from MPEG-TS. So we could insert wanted information using watermark from EPG. And we composed UI by extracting EPG information from watermark interted contents. Finally we modularized whole system into the watermark insert/extract application and directshow filter based player. So we tried to design this system so that the general developer can do in a way that is easier and faster.

With the rapid development of RF based high speed wireless communication technology, devices that can be applied to IoT networks based on RF bandwidth are rapidly spreading, nevertheless, the development speed of the RF communication is not possible to keep up with the spread of the RF band for wireless communication. In this situation, OWC technology that uses visible light source as a transmitter is attracting attention as a technology that can overcome the band exhaustion problem of RF based wireless communication technology. Although, due to the distortion of the LED illumination shape by camera exposure time and LED blinking period, the LED illumination detection rate is degraded and the RoI setting is inaccurate. In this paper, we propose an adaptive median filter applied LED illumination detection algorithm for low rate CamCom, it is possible to detect a clear RoI and LED illumination. This research will be able to play a role as a complementary material of RF based wireless communication technology efficiently.

This paper proposes an adaptive pilot beacon equipment for mobile communication systems based on direct spread spectrum technology which generates the pilot channel for handoff between base stations by using the information acquired from the downstream wireless signal regarding the overhead channel information. Such an adaptive pilot beacon equipment will enable low power operation since among the wireless signals, only the pilot channel will be generated and transmitted. The pilot channel in the downstream link of the CDMA receiver is used to acquire time and frequency synchronization and this is used to calibrate the offset for the beacon, which implies that time synchronization using GPS is not required and any location where forward receive signal can be received can be used as the installation site. The downstream link pilot signal searching within the CDMA receiver is performed by FPGA and DSP. The FPGA is used to perform the initial synchronization for the pilot searcher and DSP is used to perform the offset correction between beacon clock and base station clock. The CDMA transmitter the adaptive pilot beacon equipment will use the timing offset information in the pilot channel acquired from the CDMA receiver and generate the downstream link pilot signal synchronized to the base station. The intermediate frequency signal is passed through the FIR filter and subsequently upconverted and amplified before being radiated through the antenna.

Multicarrier direct sequence code-division multiple access CDMA(MC DS-CDMA) is an attractive technique for achieving high data rate transmission even if the potentially large peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR) is an important factor for its application. On the other hand, code select CDMA(CS-CDMA) is an attractive technique with constant amplitude transmission of multicode signal irregardless of subchannels by introducing code selection method. In this paper we propose a new multiple access scheme based on the combination of MC DS-CDMA and CS-CDMA. Proposed scheme, which we called MC CS-CDMA, includes the sutclasses of MC DS-CDMA and CS-CDMA as special cases. The performance of this system is investigated for multipath Sequency selective fading channel and maximal ratio combining with rake receiver. In addition the PAPR of proposed system is compare with that of both MC BS-CDMA and CS-CDMA. Simulation results show that proposed system improves PAPR reduction than MC DS-CDMA at the expense of the complexity of receiver and the number of available non. Also, the numerical result shows that the proposed system is better performance than MC DS-CDMA due to the increasing processing gain and the number of time diversity gain.

Recently, there has been much interest in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for next generation wireless wideband communication systems. OFDM is a special case of multicarrier transmission, where a single data stream is transmitted over a number of lower-rate subcarriers. One of the main reasons to use OFDM is to increase robustness against frequency-selective fading or narrowband interference. However, in the radio systems it is also important to distortion introduced by high power amplifiers (HPA's) such as solid state power amplifier (SSPA) considered in this paper. Since the signal amplitude of the OFDM system is Rayleigh-distributed, the performance of the OFDM system is significantly degraded by the nonlinearity of the HPA in the OFDM transmitter. In this paper, we propose a canonical piecewise-linear (PWL) model based digital predistorter to prevent signal distortion and spectral re-growth due to the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of OFDM signal and the nonlinearity of HPA's. Computer simulation on an OFDM system under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels with QPSK, 16-QAM and 64-QAM modulation schemes and modulator/demodulator implemented with 1024-point FFT/IFFT, demonstrate that the proposed predistorter achieves significant performance improvement by effectively compensating for the nonlinearity introduced by the SSPA.

The purpose of this study Is to investigate the effect of $V_2$O$_{5}$ addition on the microstructures and magnetic properties of 7.7${\times}$4.5${\times}$1.0 mm sized multi-layer chip inductors prepared by the screen printing method using 0∼0.5 wt％ $V_2O_{5}$-doped NiCuZn ferrite pastes. With increasing the $V_2O_{5}$ content, the exaggerated grain growth of ferrite layers was developed due to the promotion of Ag diffusion and Cu segregation into the grain boundaries oi ferrites, which affected significantly the magnetic properties of the chip inductors. After sintering at $900^{\circ}C$, the inductance at 10 MHZ of the 0.5 wt％ $V_2O_{5}$-doped chip inductor was 3.7 ${\mu}$H less than 4.2 ${\mu}$H of the 0.3 wt% $V_2O_{5}$-doped one, which was thought to be caused by the residual stress at the ferrite layers increased with the promotion of Ag diffusion and Cu segregation. The quality factor of the 0.5 wt% $V_2O_{5}$-doped chip inductor decreased with increasing the sintering temperature, which was considered to be caused by the electrical resistivity of the ferrite layer decreased with the promotion of Ag/cu segregation at the grain boundaries and the growth of the mean grain size of ferrite due to exaggerated grain growth of ferrite layers.

A signal passed through multi-path channel suffers ISI(Inter-Symbol Interference) and severe distortions caused by channel delay spread and noise components at the SC-FDE(Single Carrier with Frequency Domain Equalizer) transmission. Conventional UW(Unique-Word) based SC-FDE iterative channel estimation improves channel estimation performance by smoothing estimated CIR(Channel Impulse Response) of the noise components outside the channel length at time domain and restoring the broken cyclic property through UW reconstruction. In this paper, we propose channel estimation scheme through noise suppression within channel length. To suppress the noise, we estimate noise standard deviation as estimated CIR of the noise components outside the channel length and make criteria of the noise standard deviation gain that doesn't affect the original signal samples. When estimated CIR samples within channel length are less than the criteria value using the noise standard deviation and gain, the noise components are removed. Simulation results show that the proposed channel estimation scheme brings good channel MSE(Mean Square Error) and good BER(Bit Error Rate) performance.

Cryogenic spray characteristics of a nitrogen swirl injector operating in supercritical environment have been numerically investigated. By comparing the equation of states(EOS) used for supercritical condition, SRK EOS was applied to predict the nitrogen thermodynamic property under supercritical environment. A Chung's method was implemented for the calculation of viscosity and conductivity and Takahashi's correlation based on Fuller's Theorem was implemented for the calculation of diffusion coefficient. By injecting the nitrogen with 5 bar differential pressure into 50 bar chamber filled with nitrogen, numerical simulation has been conducted. The dynamic Smagorinsky sub-grid scale (SGS) model has been compared with the algebraic Smagorinsky SGS model using FFT frequency analysis. The instability at the liquid film and gas core inside injector and the propagation of pressure oscillation into the injector has been investigated. The spreading angle of swirl injector obtained by numerical calculation has been validated with experimental result.

우수한 내식성을 가지는 Zn 박막은 자동차, 가전제품, 전자제품 등에 사용되는 철 생산품의 수명 연장을 위하여 널리 사용되어 왔다. 최근 개발된 Zn-Mg 합금 박막은 Zn나 Mg에 비해 우수한 내식성을 나타내는 Zn-Mg 합금상을 형성하기 때문에 순수한 Zn 박막이나 다른 Zn 계 합금 박막에 비해 우수한 내식성을 가진다고 보고된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 합금상의 형성을 위해 Mg 중간층 두께를 제어하며 Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막들을 합성하였으며 열처리를 통한 합금상의 변화, 그에 따른 박막의 내식성에 관해 연구하였다. Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막은 총 $4{\mu}m$의 두께로 Mg 중간층의 두께를 변화하였으며 비대칭 마그네트론 스퍼터링 공정을 이용하여 냉연강판 위에 합성하였다. 합성된 다층 박막은 다양한 Zn-Mg 합금상을 형성하기 위하여 진공로를 이용하여 $200^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 동안 어닐링 열처리를 실시하였다. 열처리 전, 후 Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막의 미세조직과 조성은 X선 회절 분석기 (XRD)와 전계방출형 주사전자현미경 (FE-SEM)과 글로우 방전 분광분석기 (GDEOES)를 사용하여 분석하였다. 어닐링 열처리를 통한 Zn-Mg 합금상 형성이 Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막의 내식성에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 동전위 분극시험과 EIS(Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) 분석 실시하였다. FE-SEM과 GDOES 분석 결과, Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막들 각각의 중간층 Mg 두께는 1.5, 2.0, $2.5{\mu}m$ 였으며, 어닐링 열처리 후 중간층의 Mg이 상, 하부의 Zn 층으로 확산되면서 박막을 치밀한 구조로 변화시키는 것으로 확인되었다. XRD 분석 결과, 열처리를 하지 않은 Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막들에서는 Mg 상의 피크의 강도 차이만 존재할 뿐 Zn-Mg 합금상은 형성되지 않았다. 그러나 열처리를 후 Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막들에서 $MgZn_2$ 합금상이 형성되었으며, 중간층 Mg 두께가 $1.5{\mu}m$ 이하인 박막에서는 Zn 상이, 초과하는 박막에서는 Mg 상이 잔존하는 것을 확인하였다. EIS 분석 결과, 열처리 후 박막의 전하이동저항 값은 증가하며 박막의 어드미턴스 값이 감소하였으며 Bode phase plot을 통해 열처리 후 시정수(time constant)가 높은 주파수 영역에서 형성 되는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 열처리 후 Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막이 치밀해지고 내식성이 향상되었음을 나타낸다. 동전위 분극시험 결과에서도 마찬가지로 열처리 한 Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막들은 열처리 전 대비 내식성이 향상되는 것을 확인하였다. 열처리를 통한 Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막의 내식성의 향상은 우수한 내식성의 합금상의 형성과 박막 미세구조의 치밀화에 기인한다고 판단하였다. 또한 열처리 한 Zn/Mg/Zn 다층 박막들에서는 Zn와 $MgZn_2$ 상들이 공존 할 경우 가장 우수한 내식성을 나타내었으며, 이는 $MgZn_2$와 Zn 사이의 적은 전위 차이로 인해 갈바닉 부식 효과가 감소되었기 때문으로 판단된다.
