The purpose of this study is to design, implement and verify the pre-modulation filter with the variable -3dB cutoff frequency and linear phase response for bandlimiting the allocation of radio frequency bandwidth for PCM/FM transmission. For the design of this required filter, the digital FIR filter, DAC system and tuneable 2nd order LPF have been constructed and simulated according to the attenuation characteristic requirement of the amplitude frequency response by each stage. From these results, we have implemented the filter and verified the analog conversion hardware part which is composed of DAC system and tuneable 2nd order LPF for the interpolation of the discrete sequences. Especially this paper proposes and carries out the verification processes using the tone generator and the calibration procedures for more precise frequency response of the filter.

The rate control is an essential component in video coding to provide better quality under given coding constraints, such as channel capacity, frame rates, etc. In general, source data cannot be described as a single distribution in a video coding, hence it can cause an exhaustive approximation problem. It drops a coding efficiency under weak channel environments, such as mobile communications. In this paper, we design a new quantization parameter decision model that is based on a rate-distortion function of generalized Gaussian distribution. In order to adaptively express various source data distribution, we decide a shape parameter by observing a ratio of samples, which have a small value. For experiment, the proposed algorithm is implemented into H.264/AVC video codec, and its performance is compared with that of MPEG-2 TM5, H.263 TMN8 rate control algorithm. As shown in simulation results, the proposed algorithm provides an improved quality rather than previous algorithms and generates the number of bits closed to the target bits.

In this paper, We designed and fabricated C-band bandpass filter using dielectric resonators. From waveguide cutoff frequency which applied the region between adjacent dielectric resonators, the height of cavity is determined. The cavity's diameter is determined to the twice of dielectric resonator's diameter considering the conductor loss. The resonant frequency of the DR-cavity is calculated with travelling wave mode analysis. Conventionally, circular cylindrical dielectric resonator is analysed by Cohn's model which use the evanescent mode in the region between dielectric resonator wall and circular cavity wall, which is an approximated method. The external quality factor, Q$_{ex}$ has found with simulation result using Ansoft's Maxwell simulation tool. The designed filter using dielectric resonators with dielectric constant of 45 has the passband center at 5.065GHz. The bandpass filter using dielectric resonators have about 1dB insertion loss. 20MHz bandwidth and more than 30dB attenuation at f$_{0}$$\pm$15MHz.z.z.

The objective of this work is to design Surface Antenna Structure (SAS) and investigate fatigue behavior of SAS that is asymmetric sandwich structure. This term, SAS, indicates that structural surface becomes antenna. Constituent materials are selected considering electrical properties, dielectric constant and tangent loss as well as mechanical properties. For the antenna performance, SSSFIP elements inserted into structural layers were designed fur satellite communication at a resonant frequency of 12.5 GHz and final demonstration article was $16{\;}{\tiems}{\;}8$ array antenna. From electrical measurements, it was shown that antenna performances were in good agreement with design requirements. In cyclic 4-point bending, flexure behavior was investigated by static and fatigue test. Fatigue life curve of SAS was obtained. The fatigue load was determined experimentally at a 0.75 (1.875kN) load level, Experimental results were compared with single load level fatigue life prediction equations (SFLPE) and in good agreement with SFLPE. SAS concept is the first serious attempt at integration fur both antenna and composite engineers and promises innovative future communication technology.

In this paper, the method of designing an active inductor for MMIC is proposed. The proposed tunable active inductor is composed of a cascade FET with feedback capacitors and resistors. Because of a very low series resistance in the proposed inductor, a very high Q factor can be obtained. Also it has an excellent characteristics suitable for high frequency band. The inductance value can be changed by controlling feedback capacitors, resistors and a bias voltage respectively. When the feedback resistor and parallel resistor within circuits are varied, the inductance value is changed from 0.2 nH to 1.7 nH in the range 1 to 15 GHz. Also we designed bandpass filter using the proposed active inductor and it shows the insertion loss of 0.4 dB and return loss, 20 dB.

As RFID systems are applied to various fields and applications such as supply chain management, asset management, location based applications etc. the requirements becomes diverse. For example, Much higher performance, TCP/IP protocol stack are required in some applications. However, low end processors based systems such as 8051 processor can not meet such requirements due to their low processing capacity and limited size of memory. In this paper a UHF band RFID system which meets the EPC Class-1 Generation-2 specification with ARM920T-based processor is implemented and tested.

In this paper, the high gain and the broadband microstrip patch antenna, which is applicable to 5 GHz band wireless LAN, is designed in order to integrate IEEE 802.11a's detailed standards($a:5.15{\sim}5.25$, $b:5.25{\sim}5.35$, $c:5.725{\sim}5.875$ [GHz]). Designed patch antenna has settled resonance frequency by insert substance(polyurethane: ${\varepsilon}_r=6.5$) between the separated parasitic patch and radiation patch for the purpose of miniaturize. And the form (${\varepsilon}_r=1.03$) were to fix the separated radiation patch and ground plans by air. Designed frequency bandwidth(VSWR 2:1) of the antenna showed broadband characteristic of $4.9[GHz]{\sim}6.1[GHz]$ to about 1.2[GHz]. Also the E-plan and H-plan profit 12[dBi] above, the 3[dB] beamwidth showed the characteristic over the E-plan $30^{\circ}$ and H-plan $60^{\circ}$ to be improved.

CAMC (constant amplitude multi-code) has a better performance of error correction in iterative decoding than SPCPC (single parity check product code). CAMC benefits from a processing gain since it belongs to a spread spectrum signal. We show that the processing gain enhances the performance of CAMC. Additional correction of bit errors is achieved in the de-spreading of iteratively decoded signal. If the number of errors which survived the iterative decoding is less than or equal to ($\sqrt{N}/2-1$), all of the bit errors are removed after the de-spreading. We also propose a stopping criterion in the iterative decoding, which is based on the histogram of EI (extrinsic information). The initial values of EI are randomly distributed, and then they converge to ($-E_{max}$) or ($+E_{max}$) over the iterations. The strength of the convergence reflects how successfully error correction process is performed. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a gain of 0.2 dB in Eb/No.

In the initial stage of the communications between a base station and a satellite transponder, the base station transmits the frequency-sweeping un-modulated up-link carrier within a certain frequency range to acquire the doppler frequency shift and signal power between the base station and the satellite in orbital flight. The satellite transponder acquires and tracks the carrier in order to initialize the communication. To control such initialization process, the satellite receiver should analyze the input carrier signal in various ways. This paper presents an SNR estimation algorithm to control the initialization process. The proposed algorithm converts the input signal into the baseband polar coordinate representation and estimates the SNR via the statistics of the angular signal components as well as the status parameters to control the receiver. The Monte-Carlo simulations shows the validity of the estimation proposed.
