We have extended the source projection analytic nodal discrete ordinates method (SPANDOM) for more flexible applicability in analysis of hexagonal assembly cores. The method (SPANDOM-FH) does not invoke transverse integration but instead solves the discrete ordinates equation analytically after the source term is projected and represented in hybrid form of high-order polynomials and exponential functions. SPANDOM-FH which treats a hexagonal node as one node is applied to two fast reactor benchmark problems and compared with TWOHEX. The results of comparison indicate that the present method SPANDOM-FH predicts accurately $k_eff$ and flux distributions in hexagonal assembly cores. In addition, SPANDOM-FH gives the continuous two dimensional intranodal scalar flux distributions in a hexagonal node. The reentering models between TWOHEX and SPANDOM were also compared and it was confirmed that SPANDOM's model is more realistic. Through the results of benchmark problems, we conclude that SPANDOM-FH has the sufficient accuracy for the nuclear design of fast breeder reactor (FBR) cores with hexagonal assemblies.

본 논문에서는 나카가미 페이딩 채널하에서 MC DS/CDMA 방식에 FH 방식을 적용한 FH MC/DS CDMA 시스템의 성능을 분석하였다. 나카가미 페이딩 지수 m과 MRC 다이버시티의 브랜치 수 L이 증가할 때 호핑 횟수 1과 4에 대한 분석결과 약 2.8dB의 성능차이를 보이고 있음을 앞 수 있었다. 호핑 횟수의 증가는 주파수 다이버시티 효과를 가져옴으로써 FH MC DS/CDMA 시스템에서 수신측의 부담을 줄이면서 BER 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 의미하며 따라서 호핑 횟수를 증가시킴으로써 부담 MC/DS CDMA 시스템의 성능을 개선할 수 있음을 입증하였다.

In this paper, we composed orthogonal multi carrier FH/CDMA system using frequency hopping sequence. Considering hit possibilities by delayed other user's signals we searched the optimal number of user access carrier slots not to influence on performance deterioration with the variation of number of carrier slots according to the number of user access carrier slots. A]io, we evaluated the BER performance improvement due to TCM and Concatenated coding technique by computer simulation.

OFDM/FH communication system Is widely used in the wireless communication for the large capacity and high-speed data transmission. However, phase noise and PAPR (peak-to-average power ratio) are the serious problems causing performance impairment. In this paper, PLL (phase locked loop) frequency synthesizer with high switching speed is used for the phase noise model. SSPA and TWTA are considered for the nonlinear HPA model. Under these conditions and by approximating $e^{j{\phi}[m]}$ into $1 + j{\phi}[m]-\frac{1}{2}{\phi}^2[m]$ for the phase noise nonlinear approximation, SINR (signal-to-interference-noise-ratio) with nonlinear HPA and phase noise is derived in the OFDM/FH system. The bit error probabilities (BER) are found by computer simulation method and semi-analytical method. The simulation results closely match with the semi-analytical results.

Recently, Switching time is the principal factor in a design of frerquency synthesizer for Spread-Spectrum Communications. fast switching frequency synthesizer is important to improve the channel efficiency in a Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FH-SS) tranceiver. In this paper, we design the frequency synthesizer with fast switching time as fast as 1${\mu}\textrm{s}$. In frequency synthesizer design, we use the interpolated PLL method inserted memory Look-up table of DDS to reduce switching time, and have result of improved channel efficiency about 20% by applying to FH-SS Transceiver.

본 논문에서는 chirp 변조를 이용한 통신 시스템의 LPI(low probability of intercept)와 AJ(anti-jamming)성능을 분석하였다. 인터셉터에 DAM(delay and multiplier)과 SC(squaring circuit)가 이용된 경우 CBPSK(Chirped BPSK)의 LPI 성능을 분석하였다. 스펙트럼 확산 방식의 CBPSK와 DS/BPSK 시스템에 대한 AJ 성능을 비교 분석 및 주파수 호핑 방식의 FH/CBFSK(Chirped BFSK)와 FH/BFSK, 그리고 FH/BCM(Binary Chirp Modulation) 시스템에 대한 AJ 성능을 분석하였다. LPI 결과로, CBPSK(Chirped BPSK)은 chirp 변수인 chirp 주기($T_3$가 커질수록 좋은 LPI 성능을 보인다. AJ 결과로, PBNJ(partial band noise jammer)환경에서 CBPSK 방식이 DS/BPSK 방식에 비하여 AJ 성능이 우수하고, 마찬가지로 FH/CBFSK 방식이 FH/BFSK 방식에 비하여 AJ 성능이 우수함을 시뮬레이션으로 확인하였다.

Most of the current frequency hopping (FH) based dynamic spectrum access (DSA) methods concern a reactive channel access scheme with synchronous inter-channel spectrum sensing, i.e., FH is reactively triggered by the primary user (PU)'s return reported by spectrum sensing, and the PU channel to be switched to is assumed precisely just sensed or ready to be sensed, as if the inter-channel spectrum sensing moments are synchronous. However, the inter-channel spectrum sensing moments are more likely to be asynchronous, which risks PU suffering more interference. Moreover, the spectrum sensing is usually erroneous, which renders the problem more complex. To address this problem, we propose a proactive FH based DSA method against both erroneous spectrum sensing and asynchronous inter-channel spectrum sensing (moments). We term it as proactive DSA. The optimal FH sequence is obtained by dynamic programming. The complexity is also analyzed. Finally, the simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, the performance of frequency hopped(FH) M-ary frequency shift keyed(MFSK)system is analyzed with the fading channel and the multione famming. In general, the performance degradation of FH/MFSK system is due to the Rayleigh fading and the multitone jamming environment. In order to improve the system performance. the time diversity is used. When the time diversity is applied to the Rayleigh fading and the mulitone jamming, we get around 18dB and 19dB improvements. respectively. And when it is applied to both the Rayleigh fading and the multitone jamming, we get around 4 dB improvement.

Objective: To investigate the multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) features of fumarate hydratase-deficient renal cell carcinoma (FH-deficient RCC) with germline or somatic mutations, and compare them with those of papillary type II RCC (pRCC type II). Materials and Methods: A total of 24 patients (mean ± standard deviation, 40.4 ± 14.7 years) with pathologically confirmed FH-deficient RCC (15 with germline and 9 with somatic mutations) and 54 patients (58.6 ± 12.6 years) with pRCC type II were enrolled. The MDCT features were retrospectively reviewed and compared between the two entities and mutation subgroups, and were correlated with the clinicopathological findings. Results: All the lesions were unilateral and single. Compared with pRCC type II, FH-deficient RCC was more prevalent among younger patients (40.4 ± 14.7 vs. 58.6 ± 12.6, p < 0.001) and tended to be larger (8.1 ± 4.1 vs. 5.4 ± 3.2, p = 0.002). Cystic solid patterns were more common in FH-deficient RCC (20/24 vs. 16/54, p < 0.001), with 16 of the 20 (80.0%) cystic solid tumors having showed typical polycystic and thin smooth walls and/or septa, with an eccentric solid component. Lymph node (16/24 vs. 16/54, p = 0.003) and distant (11/24 vs. 3/54, p < 0.001) metastases were more frequent in FH-deficient RCC. FH-deficient RCC and pRCC type II showed similar attenuation in the unenhanced phase. The attenuation in the corticomedullary phase (CMP) (76.3% ± 25.0% vs. 60.2 ± 23.6, p = 0.008) and nephrographic phase (NP) (87.7 ± 20.5, vs. 71.2 ± 23.9, p = 0.004), absolute enhancement in CMP (39.0 ± 24.8 vs. 27.1 ± 22.7, p = 0.001) and NP (50.5 ± 20.5 vs. 38.2 ± 21.9, p = 0.001), and relative enhancement ratio to the renal cortex in CMP (0.35 ± 0.26 vs. 0.24 ± 0.19, p = 0.001) and NP (0.43 ± 0.24 vs. 0.29 ± 0.19, p < 0.001) were significantly higher in FH-deficient RCC. No significant difference was found between the FH germline and somatic mutation subgroups in any of the parameters. Conclusion: The MDCT features of FH-deficient RCC were different from those of pRCC type II, whereas there was no statistical difference between the germline and somatic mutation subgroups. A kidney mass with a cystic solid pattern and metastatic tendency, especially in young patients, should be considered for FH-deficient RCC.
