We report on the measurements of absorption spectra from acetylene ($^{12}C_2H_2$) and hydrogen cyanide ($H^{13}C^{14}N$) for wavelength reference in the C-band (conventional band) region using a supercontinuum optical source generated from a mode-locked $Cr^{4+}$:YAG laser. The center wavelength of the mode-locked $Cr^{4+}$:YAG laser was 1510 nm and the pulse duration was 75 fs at 100 MHz repetition rate. The supercontinuum source achieved a flatness of ${\pm}5dB$ over a wavelength range of more than 400 nm, using a 20 m long photonic crystal fiber. The measured absorption spectra from acetylene ($^{12}C_2H_2$) and hydrogen cyanide ($H^{13}C^{14}N$) had more than 50 lines and were analyzed for wavelength standardization.

스케일러블 비디오 코딩(SVC, Scalable Video Coding)은 MPEG(Moving Picture Expert Group)과 VCEG (Video Coding Expert Group)의 JVT(Joint VIdeo Team)에 의해 현재 표준화 되고 있는 새로운 압축 표준 기술이며 시간, 공간 및 화질의 스케일러빌리티를 지원하기 위해 계층 구조를 가지고 있다. 공간적 스케일러빌리티를 위해 기본 계층으로부터 텍스처, 움직임 그리고 잔차신호 정보를 예측하여 사용한다. 그러나 고효율의 압축효과를 얻기 위해 기존의 방식에서는 기본계층에서 얻은 세가지 정보이외에 현재 향상 계층에서 자체적으로 얻은 부호화 정보를 비교하여 최소의 RD(Rate Distortion) 비용을 가지는 정보를 이용하여 부호화 하도록 되어 있다. 하지만 이러한 방식은 향상 계층에서 인터 모드 결정 시 $16\times16,\;16\times8,\;8\times16,\;8\times8,\;4\times4,\;4\times8,\;4\times4$ 블록 모드에 대한 움직임 벡터 예측 및 보상 과정을 거쳐야 하기 때문에 향상 계층에서의 부호화 복잡도는 기본 계층에 비해 상당히 증가하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 기본계층에서 예측한 움직임 벡터 정보를 이용하여 항상 계층에서 모드 결정을 고속화하는 방법에 대해 소개한다. 제안된 방법은 기본 계층에서 예측한 블록모드 중에서 큰 블록인 $16\times16$ 블록에서 움직임 벡터가 (0, 0) 일 경우에 대하여 향상 계층에서는 $16\times16$매크로 블록에 대해서만 움직임 예측 및 보상을 수행함으로써 향상 계층에서 움직임 모드 결정을 조기에 완료하게 된다. 이것은 하위 공간 계층에서 예측한 움직임 벡터 정보가 아주 작을 때는 큰 블록 크기로 모드로 결정되는 일반적인 원리를 이용한 것이고 이 제안 방법을 이용하였을 경우 향상계층에의 모드 결정과정을 고속화함으로써 전체 스케일러빌 비디오 부호하기의 연산량 및 복잡도를 최대 70%까지 감소 시켰다. 그러나 연산량 감소에 따른 비트율의 증가와 화질 열화는 각각 최대 1.32%와 최대 0.11dB로 무시할 수 있을 정도로 작음을 확인 하였다.

In this paper, a low-power direct-conversion transmitter based on current-mode operation, which satisfies the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, is proposed and implemented in a $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The proposed transmitter consists of DACs, LPFs, variable gain I/Q up-conversion mixer, a divide-by-two circuit with LO buffer, and a drive amplifier. By combining DAC, LPF, and variable gain I/Q up-conversion mixer with a simple current mirror configuration, the transmitter's power consumption is reduced and its linearity is improved. The drive amplifier is a cascode amplifier with gain controls and the 2.4GHz I/Q differential LO signals are generated by a divide-by-two current-mode-logic (CML) circuit with an external 4.8GHz input signal. The implemented transmitter has 30dB of gain control range, 0dBm of maximum transmit output power, 33dBc of local oscillator leakage, and 40dBc of the transmit third harmonic component. The transmitter dissipates 10.2mW from a 1.2V supply and the die area of the transmitter is $1.76mm{\times}1.26mm$.

A CRLH-TL based compact metamaterial antenna on a magneto-dielectric material is proposed. The proposed antenna is composed of two patches and vias, which is loaded by a magneto-dielectric material constructed by SRRs. The characteristic of SRRs is studied, and the size reduction of the antenna by using the magneto-dielectric material is confirmed. The simulated resonant frequency of the antenna has showed a decrease of 7.13 % at - 1st-order resonant mode, and 23.9 % at zeroth-order resonant mode. A zeroth-order resonant antenna is fabricated and measured, which has a resonant frequency of 1.888 GHz, a bandwidth of 0.48 %, a gain of 0.534 dBi, and an efficiency of 51.7 %.

Fiber-optic comb filters using a side-polished fiber coupler are proposed as multi-channel isolation filters on wavelength division multiplexing systems. We have demonstrated that the coupling efficiency between two waveguides is improved by the intermediate coupling layer in spite of the decrease of the optical power transfer between two waveguides due to the high-order modes of the overlay waveguide coupled with the side-polished single-mode fiber. When LiNbO$_3$with a 200-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$-thickness was applied as a planar-overlay-waveguide, the comb filtering characteristics with a 4 nm-channel-spacing were achieved and the maximum power coupling occurred at the 1-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$-thickness and the refractive index in range 1.52 to 1.53 of an intermediate coupling layer. If the intermediate coupling layer is optimized, an extinction ratio with more than 20 dB can be obtained. These experimental results are in good agreement with the BPM simulation.

In this paper, an broadband Schiffman phase shifter is proposed using vertically installed coupled lines. It consists of the typical coupled lines and a extra coupled lines which is installed vertically on the original coupled lines plane. Phase responses of Schiffman phase shifter with vetically installed coupled lines are analyzed in consideration of the phase velocity of two independent transmission modes and the characteristic impedances. The $90^{\circ}$ Schiffman phase shifters with high impedance ratio is realized at 2.4 GHz, which cannot be implemented with the conventional coupled lines. The measured results show that the bandwidth is 1.5~3.2 GHz(70.8 %) within the phase errors ${\pm}5^{\circ}$. The measured return loss is found to be better than 12.4 dB and insertion loss is less than 1.2 dB over the operating frequency band.

In this paper, the simplified design methodology for rotation of polarization plane using a square waveguide is proposed. In order to optimize the characteristics of $180^{\circ}$ polarizer operating from 14.3GHz to 14.8GHz in Ku-band, the modified mode matching method and piecewise power tower interpolation are applied to the polarizer design. The optimized results show that the frequency bandwidth in VSWR<2 has covered 500MHz in the Ku-band and phase difference between two orthogonal modes $TE_{10}$and $TE_{01}$ is $180^{\circ}{\pm}1^{\circ}$ in the range of 14.3GHz~14.8GHz. The cross polarization loss has obtained below 40dB and the insertion loss has 0.1dB in the passband. Therefore, the proposed polarizer is suitable for practical Ku-band system requiring the low VSWR and compact size.

This paper describes a compact microstrip active antenna with dual polarization. The antenna, receiving both a left-hand circularly polarized wave and a right-hand circularly polarized wave, has a function of polarization diversity. A square-shaped empty room is located on the inside of the microstrip radiator so that the size has been reduced. And slots are added around feeding point to improve input matching. Also, amplifier and switching circuitry are placed at the empty room to increase antenna gain and to select one of the circular polarizations, respectively. The proposed antenna has been applied to GPS(global positioning system). The measurement results show that it has 10dB-impedance bandwidth, 3dB axial bandwidth of about 50MHz, 3dB beamwidth of 90degree, and gain of 13dBi, respectively, for RHCP. Also, it has 3dB axial bandwidth of about 50MHz, 3dB beamwidth of 84 degree, and gain of 12dBi, respectively, for LHCP.

In this paper, It is proposed through the empirical design of a Conducted EMI filter for noise reduction of power used in electronic devices. For the proposed structure, A-type, B-type, C-type, and D-type structures were designed, and conductive noise reduction was confirmed by using an LC network with various X-capacitors, Y-capacitors, and Air-inductors. 10 [μH] was used for L1 and L2, and 4.7 [nF] was used for C1 and C2. L3 for common mode used 13[μH], and C5, C6, C7 were designed using 10[nF]. The measured insertion loss values of the designed EMI filter were -74.4[dB] at 3.2MHz, -75.4[dB] at 4MHz, and -75.3[dB] at 13.56MHz. Therefore, the proposed EMI filter will be able to reduce power supply noise used in various electronic devices.
