We developed a 37-channel magnetoencephalogram (MEG) measurement system based on low-noise superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometets, and operated the system to measure MEG signals. By using double relaxation oscillation SQUIDs with high flux-4o-voltage transfers, the SQUID outputs could be measured directly by room temperature preamplifiers and compact readout circuits were used for SQUID operation. The average field noise level of the magnetometers is about 3 fT/√Hz in the white region, low enough for MEG measurements when operated inside a magnetically shielded room. The 37 magnetometers were distributed on a hemispherical surface haying a radius of 125 mm. In addition to the 37 sensing channels. 11 reference channels were installed to pickup external noise and to form software gradiometers. A low-noise liquid helium dewar was fabricated with a liquid capacity of 30 L and boil-off rate of 4 L/d. The signal processing software consists of digital filtering, software gradiometer, isofield mapping and source localization. By using the developed system, we measured auditory-evoked fields and localized the current dipoles, demonstrating the effectiveness of the system.

A candidate hybrid satellite and terrestrial network architecture, MSS/ATC(Mobile Satellite Service/Ancillary Terrestrial Component), is proposed for utilizing efficiently the exist MSS bands. Studies on the adjacent channel interference from the existing terrestrial mobile services and MSS/ATC itself are important to allocate a new ATC service frequency in MSS band. In this paper, we have analyzed the minimum permission power of terrestrial base station and the capacity loss with parameters of ACIR, number of MS(mobile Station) and MES(Mobile Earth Station) in uplink, and also, the capacity performance based on 1 beam and 1 cell assumption for MSS/ATC in downlink. The ACIR requirements are estimated in two MSS/ATC frequency allocation scenarios for 5 MHz and 10 MHz guard band to share spectrum with adjacent systems, and according to these ACIR requirements the service coverage and the receiver filter for ATC system should be designed in near future.

In this paper, we analyze performance of PSPM(Phase Shift Position Modulation) modulation scheme in multi-path channel. A PSPM modulation method transmits the information data by both PSK symbol data and symbol position data, so that we can significantly improve the power efficiency. The bandwidth efficiency of PSPM is quarter than PSK but improve BER performance, because increasing symbol hamming distance. In this results, a PSPM scheme is bandwidth efficiency better than FSK and power efficiency better than PSK. This characteristic can be useful in WBAN and wireless sensor networks also PSPM modulation method can be expected high throughput than existing FSK. In this paper, we compare PSPM, PSSK and PSK regard to BER performance and throughput in multi-path channel.

In this paper, we propose a deep learning based transmit power control (TPC) scheme to improve the spectral and energy efficiency of wireless communication systems. In the wireless communication system, the positions of multiple transceivers follow a uniform distribution, and the performances of spectral and energy efficiency for the proposed TPC scheme are analyzed assuming the Nakagami fading channels. The proposed TPC scheme uses batch normalization to improve spectral and energy efficiency in deep learning based training. Through simulation, we compare the results of the spectral and energy efficiency of the proposed TPC scheme and the conventional one for various area sizes that limit the position range of the transceivers and Nakagami fading factors. Comparing the performance results, we verify that the proposed scheme provides better performance than the conventional one.

In this study, we designed oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) with dual gate and tri layered split channels, and investigated the structural effect of the TFTs on the electrical characteristics. The dual gates played a key role in increasing the driving current, and the channel structure of tri layers and split form contributed to the increase in the carrier mobility. The tri layered channels consisting of the a-ITGZO and two ITO layers inserted between the gate dielectric and a-ITGZO led to the increase in the on-current by using ITO layers with high conductivity, and the split channels lowered series resistance of the channels. Compared with the mobility (15 cm²/V·s) of the single gate a-ITGZO TFT, the mobility (134 cm²/V·s) of the dual gate tri-layer split channel TFT was remarkably enhanced by the structural effect.

In this paper, a new electrode configuration and EOG removal method are proposed in order to measure EEG effectively on the frontal lobe and remove EOG in the measured raw EEG. The method of measuring EEG is proposed using four electrodes and a ground electrode on the frontal lobe with a reference electrode at the left earlobe. And also, the separation method using ICA is proposed for EOG removal from the measured EEG, Through the experiments of measuring EEG it was demonstrated that a subject can attach the electrodes by himself easily to measure his own EEG without any assistant and the proposed methods were suitable for removing EOG signal from the measured EEG.

구조물의 내진보강방법 중에서 가장 널리 이용되는 방법인 강재 이력형 감쇠장치는 수평하중에 대한 응력-변위 곡선을 이용하여 지진 에너지를 소산시키는 방법인데, 이 경우 편심하중 등에 의해서 부재가 면 외 방향으로 거동하여 응력-변위곡선이 불규칙하여 그 결과의 신뢰성이 떨어지는 경우가 있다. 이러한 형상을 방지하기 위해서는 별도의 채널(Channel)을 시공하는 불편함을 감수해야 하며, 또한 수평력이 반복적으로 작용할 때 그 효과를 장담할 수 없는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 강재 스트립과 스프링을 결합한 댐퍼를 고안하여 스프링은 탄성변형을, 강재 스트립은 소성변형을 받게 하는 혼합형 댐퍼를 개발하고자한다. 여기서, 스프링은 복원력으로 작용하여 반복하중에 대한 저항성을 키우고 강재 스트립의 하중변위 곡선을 규칙적으로 하는 역할을 수행하게 되며 에너지 소산량을 계산할 때 편리함과 정확도를 높이고자 한다. 강재 스트립의 폭과 길이는 일정하지만 두께를 변화시켜서 5종류를 선택하였으며, 댐퍼 1개당 3개의 스트립을 정삼각형 형태로 배치하고 그 중심에 상당한 강성을 갖는 스프링을 갖는 형태로 제작하였다. 댐퍼 시험체는 5개를 제작한 후, 이 댐퍼를 구조물에 배치하였을 때의 지진에 대한 에너지 소산량과 부재력을 검토하여 댐퍼의 안전성(Safety)를 검증하고자 한다.

The flow of remote field eddy current energy is studied at nonmagnetic coaxial tubes by using both experiments and finite element calculations based on commercial software package. The results showed that remote field eddy current energy at coaxial tubes flow along over the outer surface of external tube, not through the gap between internal and external tubes. This means that the through wall transmission characteristic of remote field eddy current testing (RFECT) is still valid at tube in tube configurations and the RFECT could be potential nondestructive technique for crack detection, spacer location and gap sizing at the coaxial CANDU fuel channel tubes.

The quantized beamforming systems always need the channel state information, which must be quantized into a finite set of vectors (named codebook), and feedback only sends the index representing the desired vector. Thereby it minimized the impact of feedback errors, caused by feedback overhead and delay. In this regard, index assignment (IA) methods, an exhaustive-search and group-based schemes, have been presented for minimizes the performance degradation without additional feedback bits. In this paper, we proposed enhanced group-based IA method, which used the optimal codebook design with chordal distance, having the adaptive properties in application of the existing IA methods. When the number of transmit antennas is 4 and LTE codebook is used, Monte-Carlo simulations verify that the proposed scheme has a power advantage of 0.5~1dB to obtain the same bit error rate than methods without IA, and it has 0.1~0.2 dB better performance compared with the existing IA methods over same environment.
