Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation is considered as one of the solutions to cope with high mobility channel environments. It converts the time-varying channel to the near-constant channel response in the delay-Doppler domain. This modulation scheme also benefits from the diversity in two-dimensional modulation. According to recent researches, this method outperforms the conventional OFDM modulation, especially in high-speed channel conditions. In this paper, to investigate the performance of OTFS in a practical system, channel estimation in the delay-Doppler domain is compared with the conventional method in the time-frequency domain at different mobile speeds. Simulation results confirm that the delay-Doppler domain channel estimation brings a better performance compared to the conventional one under the same overhead rate.

We are motivated by how offline and online firms compete. The Internet made many conventional offline firms build a dynamic online business as another sales channel using their advantages such as brand equity, an existing customer base with comprehensive purchasing data, integrated marketing, economies of scale, and longtime experience with the logistics of order fulfillment and customer service. Even though the hybrid selling using both offline and online channel seems to have advantages over a pure online retailer, all the conventional offline firms are not seen to create an online business. Many conventional offline firms began to launch online business since the Internet era, however, just being online business is not likely to guarantee success. According to Bizate.com's report whether the hybrid channel strategy is successful is still under investigation. For example, consider the classic case of Barnes and Noble versus Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble was already the largest chain of bookstores in the U,S., when Amazon.com was established in 1995, BarnesandNoble.com followed suit in 1997, After suffering losses in its initial years, Amazon finally turned profitable in 2003. In 2004, Amazon's net income was $588 million on revenues of $6.92 billion, while Barnes and Noble earned $143 million on revenues of $4.87 billion, which included BarnesandNoble.com's loss of $21 million on revenues of $420 million. While these examples serve to motivate our thinking, it does not explain when offline firms should venture online. It also does not provide an analytical framework that can generalized to other competitive online-offline situations. We attempt to do this in this paper and analyze a hybrid channel model where a conventional offline firm competes against online firms using its own direct online channels. We are particularly interested in an optimal channel strategy when a conventional offline firm sells its products through its own direct online channel to compete with other rival online firms. We consider two situations where its direct online channel and other online firms are symmetric and asymmetric in the brand effect. The analysis of this paper presents several findings. In the symmetric model where a hybrid firm's online channel is not differentiated from a pure online firm, (i) a conventional offline firm will not launch its online business. In the asymmetric model where a hybrid firm's online channel is differentiated from a pure online firm, (ii) a conventional offline firm can launch its online business if its brand effect is greater than a certain threshold. (iii) there is a positive relationship between its brand effect and online customer costs showing that a conventional offline firm needs more brand effect in order to launch online business as online customer costs decrease. (iv) there is a negative relationship between its brand effect and the number of customers with access to the Internet showing that a conventional offline firm tends to launch its online business when customers with access to the Internet increases.

Conventional channel estimation methods for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system don't show the good characteristics in terms of fast fading channels. To solve this drawback in conventional methods, we propose the channel estimation method fur OFDM, assisted pilot for improvement and convergence in mobile system (APIM), which has a good performance and computational complexity in consideration of other methods. APIM uses the more developed concept of conventional methods and a block frame structure within a whole channel. This concept prevents overall performance from diverging or showing a poor one. The simulation results demonstrate the APIM outperforms pilot symbol assisted modulation (PSAM) and extended symbol aided estimation (ESAE) in terms of mean square error (MSE) and bit error rate (BER) performance under all Rayleigh fading environment. Considering the simulation performance and computational complexity, we can see APIM shows better characteristics than conventional methods for OFDM and has not any error floor even in a fast Rayleigh fading environment.

OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 전송방식은 효율적인 주파수 사용 및 고속의 데이터 전송이 가능한 장점으로 인해 페이딩 환경에서 우수한 성능을 보이지만, 실질적으로는 다중 경로 페이딩 채널의 시간에 따른 변화에 대해 성능 저하가. 발생한다. 이러한 채널의 시간적 변화에 대한 영향을 극복하고, 시스템의 성능을 개선하기 위한 여러 가지 채널 추정: 기법들이 제안되어 왔다. 그러나 채널 추정을 위한 기존의 파일럿 패턴들은 이동체의 속도에 대해 강인한 특성을 지니지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 보편적으로 사용되는 파일럿 패턴들의 이동성에 대한 단점을 극복하고, 도플러 확산으로 비롯된 시변 채널 환경에서 타 기법들에 대하여 우수한 성능을 달성하기 위해 기존 패턴에 변형을 가한 파일럿 패턴을 제안한다. 모의실험 결과를 통해 시변 채널 환경에서 변형된 파일럿 패턴의 성능이 기존의 패턴보다 우수함을 보였다.

lateral insulated gate bipolar transistors(LIGBTs) are extensively used in high voltage power IC application due to their low forward voltage drops. One of the main disadvantages of the LIGBT is its scow switching speed when compared to the LDMOSFET. And the LIGBT with reverse channel structure is lower current capability than the conventional LIGBT at the forward conduction mode. In this paper, the LIGBT which included p+ ring and p-channel gate is presented at the reverie channel structure. The presented LIGBT structure is proposed to suppress the latch up, efficiently and to improve the turn off time. It is shown to improve the current capability too. It is verified 2-D simulator, MEDICI. It is shown that the latch up current of new LIGBT is 10 times than that of the conventional LIGBT Additionally, it is shown that the turn off characteristics of the proposed LIGBT is i times than that of the conventional LIGBT. It is net presented the tail current of turn off characteristics at the proposed structure. And the presented LIGBT is not n+ buffer layer because it includes p channel gate and p+ ring.

An OFDM/offset QAM (OQAM)-IOTA system uses the isotropic orthogonal transform algorithm (IOTA) function, which has good localization properties in the time and frequency domains. This is employed instead of the guard interval used in a conventional OFDM/QAM system in order to be robust for multi-path channels. However, the conventional channel estimation scheme is not valid for an OFDM/OQAM-IOTA system due to the intrinsic inter-symbol interference of the IOTA function. In this paper, a condition is derived to reduce the intrinsic interference of the IOTA function. This condition is obtained with the proposed pilot structure used for perfect channel estimation. We also derive the preamble structure appropriate for practical channel estimation of the OFDM/OQAM-IOTA system. Simulation results show that the OFDM/OQAM-IOTA system with the proposed preamble structure performs better than the conventional OFDM system, and it has the additional advantage of an increased data transmission rate which corresponds to the guard interval retrieval.

In this paper, DFT-Based channel estimation with channel response mirroring is proposed and analyzed. In General, pilot symbols for channel estimation in MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Output) OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing) Systems have a diamond shape in the time-frequency plane. An interpolation technique to estimate the channel response of sub-carriers between reference symbols is needed. Various interpolation techniques such as linear interpolation, low-pass filtering interpolation, cubic interpolation and DFT interpolation are employed to estimate the non-pilot sub-carriers. In this paper, we investigate the conventional DFT-based channel estimation for noise reduction and channel response interpolation. The conventional method has performance degradation by distortion called "edge effect" or "border effect". In order to mitigate the distortion, we propose an improved DFT-based channel estimation with channel response mirroring. This technique can efficiently mitigate the distortion caused by the DFT of channel response discontinuity. Simulation results show that the proposed method has better performance than the conventional DFT-based channel estimation in terms of MSE.

SPLITT Fractionation (SF)는 콜로이드 입자 및 거대분자들을 둘 혹은 그 이상의 부분(fraction)으로 분획하는 기술이다. SF에서는 시료를 지속적으로 주입하므로 대용량 분획이 가능하다. 일반적으로, SF에서는 얇은 리본모양의 채널을 이용하는데, 채널의 입구와 출구부분에는 각각 flow stream splitter가 설치되어 있어서 채널의 입구와 출구가 위 아래로 두 개씩 존재한다. SF에는 두 가지 작동방법이 있는데, 하나는 conventional mode 이고 다른 하나는 전액 공급 모드(full feed mode, FFD)이다. FFD 모드에서의 분리도는 conventional mode 에 비해 떨어지지만, FFD 모드에는 몇 가지 독특한 장점이 있다. FFD 모드에서는 용매의 주입이 필요하지 않으므로 채널의 디자인 이나 작동이 더 간단하다. 따라서 입구 쪽에 flow stream splitter를 필요로 하지 않으며, 시료와 용매를 주입하기 위하여 두 개의 펌프가 필요한 conventional 모드와는 달리 한 개의 펌프만으로 작동이 가능하다. 또한 용매의 주입이 없으므로 시료가 희석되지 않는다. 이는 환경시료와 같이 콜로이드의 농도가 낮은 시료를 분획하고자 하는 경우 유리하다. 농도가 낮은 환경시료의 분획을 위해서는 종종 농축이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 입구에는 물론 출구에도 splitter를 사용하지 않는 새로운 대용량 FFD 모드 SF 장치를 만들었다. Splitter가 없으므로 장치를 대형화 할 수 있어서 시료처리량(throughput, TP)을 크게 증가시킬 수 있었다. 산업용 폴리우레탄(polyurethane, PU) 라텍스 입자들을 이용하여 새로운 SF 장치를 테스트하였으며, 폴리아크릴레이트(polyacrylate, PA) 입자를 대상으로 새로운 SF 장치의 TP를 확인하기 위하여 유속 및 $d_c$에 따르는 TP의 변화를 조사하였다.

본 논문에서는 다중 채널 레이리 페이딩으로 인하여 발생하는 시변 채널 환경에서 효율적으로 채널을 추적할 수 있는 방식을 제안하였다. 제안된 적응 채널 추적 방식은 채널 변화를 추정하여 채널을 예측할 수 있으며 예측된 채널 응답을 이용하여 주파수 영역에서 다른 안테나로부터 수신되는 간섭 신호를 제거한다. 그 후 AWGN 성분을 줄이기 위하여 시간영역 채널 추정을 수행한다. 제안된 방식의 장점은 매 심벌 마다 채널 추적시 역행렬을 구할 필요가 없다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 기존의 채널 추적 방식보다 시변 채널 환경에서 더 나은 성능을 보였다. 도플러 주파수 300 Hz, BER = 10-3 조건에서 기존의 Li 방식 보다 약 2.5 dB 성능이 개선되었다. 도플러 주파수 600 Hz에서 기존 방식과 제안된 방식의 성능 차이는 더욱 커졌다.

This paper investigates the performance of IEEE 802.11p wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE) system in small-scale fading models reported by Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). We redesign the small-scale fading models to be applied to the computer simulation and develop the IEEE 802.11p WAVE physical layer simulator to provide the bit error rate and packet error rate performances. Moreover, a new channel estimator using decision directed channel estimation and linear minimum mean square error smoothing is proposed in order to improve the performance of the conventional least square channel estimator using two identical long training symbols. The simulation results are satisfactorily coincident with the scenarios of Georgia Tech report, and the proposed channel estimator significantly outperforms the conventional channel estimator.
