In this paper, a new space vector RPPWM (Random Position PWM) is proposed. In the proposed RPPWM, each of three phase pulses is located randomly in each switching interval. Based on the space vector modulation technique, the duty ratio of the pulses is calculated. Along with the randomization of the PWM pulses, we can obtain the effects of spread spectra of voltage, current as in the case of randomly changed switching frequency. To verify the validity of the proposed RPPWM, simulation study was tried using Matlab/simulink. The main model described in Simulink block diagrams includes the space vector modulation block, pulse position randomization block, inverter block, 3 phase induction motor block, and so on. By the simulation study, the harmonics of the output voltage, and the current of inverter are predicted in different PWM methods- SVPWM, LLPWM, proposed RPPWM.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive beamforming algorithm for array antenna. The proposed beamforming algorithm, based on Block LMS (Block - Least Mean Squares) algorithm, has a variable step size from coefficient update. This method shows some advantages that the convergence speed is fast and the calculation time can reduced using a block LMS algorithm from frequency domain. As the adaptive parameter approaches a stationary state, it could reduce the number of filter coefficient update with the help of various step size. In this paper we compared the efficiency of the proposed algorithm with a standard LMS algorithm which is a representative method of adaptive beamforming.

In this paper, we first analyze the differences of underwater acoustic (UWA) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems and conventional terrestrial OFDM system, and give a simple introduction of the backgrounds. By considering the real UWA channel environments, the measured channel data is used to generate the UWA channel model and calculate the relative parameters for underwater OFDM systems. Practical least square (LS) based channel estimation with linear interpolation are adopted to obtain the channel state information (CSI) at receiver side. As multi-input multi-output (MIMO) processing techniques, Alamouti code is implemented and evaluated to perform for space time block coding (STBC) and space frequency block coding (SFBC) for UWA OFDM systems with the MIMO configuration of $2{\times}1$, at the same time, $1{\times}2$ maximum ratio combining (MRC) is performed for the purpose of comparison. The simulation results show that, with perfect channel estimation, SFBC failed to work duo to the serious frequency selectivity of UWA channel environments. When the practical channel estimation is applied, in the case of STBC, the proposed 4-column pilot pattern gives better performance about 7dB than SISO system.

This paper proposes a distributed space-frequency block code (SFBC) for relay-assisted single carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). The proposed technique achieves spatial diversity gain over fast fading channels without the complexity of multiple antennas. The mobile equipment of the proposed system has a very simple transmitter structure with constant amplitude transmit sequences, which is desirable especially for uplink communications. In order to obtain spatial diversity, the transmit sequence of relay is efficiently generated in the time domain, which is equivalent to the SFBC. Further, efficient implementation of relay and destination structures is also presented. Extensive simulation results show that the proposed system significantly outperforms the distributed space-time block code (D-STBC) SC-FDE over fast fading channels.

Steganography is one of information hiding technologies and discriminated from cryptography in that it focuses on avoiding the existence the hidden information from being detected by third parties, rather than protecting it from being decoded. In this paper, as an image steganography method which uses images as media, we propose a new block matching method that embeds information into the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) domain. The proposed method, based on a statistical analysis, reduces loss of embedding capacity due to inequable use of candidate blocks. It works in such a way that computes the variance of each candidate block, preserves candidate blocks with high frequency components while reducing candidate blocks with low frequency components by compressing them exploiting the k-means clustering algorithm. Compared with the previous block matching method, the proposed method can reconstruct secret images with similar PSNRs while embedding higher-capacity information.

This paper describes the hardware implementation of SPECK, a lightweight block cipher algorithm developed for the security of applications with limited resources such as IoT and wireless sensor networks. The block cipher SPECK crypto-core supports 8 block/key sizes, and the internal data-path was designed with 16-bit for small gate counts. The final round key to be used for decryption is pre-generated through the key initialization process and stored with the initial key, enabling the encryption/decryption for consecutive blocks. It was also designed to process round operations and key scheduling independently to increase throughput. The hardware operation of the SPECK crypto-core was validated through FPGA verification, and it was implemented with 1,503 slices on the Virtex-5 FPGA device, and the maximum operating frequency was estimated to be 98 MHz. When it was synthesized with a 180 nm process, the maximum operating frequency was estimated to be 163 MHz, and the estimated throughput was in the range of 154 ~ 238 Mbps depending on the block/key sizes.

A frequency selective surface (FSS), whose unit cell consists of a ternary tree loop loaded with a modified tripole, is proposed to block multiple frequency bands. Target frequency bands correspond to Korean personal communication services, cellular mobile communication, and 2.4 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical bands. Through the adjustment of inter-element and inter-unit cell gaps, and adjustment of the length of elements, we present an FSS design method that makes the precise tuning of multiple resonance frequencies possible. Additionally, to verify the validity of our approach, simulation results obtained from a commercial software tool and experimental data are also presented.

Similar to Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), a Single Carrier with Frequency Domain Equalization (SC-FDE) system is computationally efficient since equalization is performed on a block of data in the frequency domain. In coherent QAM schemes, the mean phase rotation error caused by the residual carrier frequency offset may lead to serious degradation. When the frequency equalizer is combined with the mean phase error tracking algorithm, its performance can be enhanced noticeably.

In this paper, we have presented the improved IF transceiver architecture and the implementation and experimental results on re-configurable transceiver based on digital IF for multiple wideband OFDM/TDD base stations for high-speed portable internet-service in which is issued Korea. The implemented IF transceiver has been designed to support multiple frequency allocations and multiple standards by only modifying the programmable software not its hardware like as the software-defined-radio concept. Also, the digital complex quadrature modulation technique has been used for the digital IF transmitter, which is able to combine multiple frequency bands in digital processing block not RF block and to reject the image frequency signals. And the bandpass sampling technique has been used for the digital IF receiver to reduce the sampling rate of ADC. This paper has shown the experiment results on the frequency response and constellation on the base-station implemented using the modified IEEE 802.16a/e physical layer channel structure based on OFDM/TDD.

The Designed frequency double down-converter is consisted with a low-noise amplifier, mixer, IF amplifier, LC filter, DC-block capacitor and RF-bypass capacitor.
