In this paper, the evoked potential(EP) was represented by additive delay model to comply with the variational noisy response of stimulus-event synchronization. The hybrid method of delay compensated-Wiener filtered-ensemble averaging(DWEA) was proposed to enhance the EP signal distortion occurred during averaging procedure due to synchronization timing mismatch. The performance of DWEA has been tested by surrogated simulation, which is composed of synthesized arbitrary delay and arbitrary level of added noise. The performance of DWEA is better than those of Wiener filtered-ensemble averaging and of conventional ensemble averaging. DWEA is endurable up to added noise gain of 7 for 10 % mean square error limit. Throughout the experimentation observation, it has been demonstrated that DWEA can be applied to enhance the evoked potential having the synchronization mismatch with added noise.

현재 magnetron sputter는 반도체, LCD 등을 포함하는 microelectronics 산업에서 박막형성을 위한 주요 장비로 널리 쓰이고 있으며, 소자의 고집적화 및 대형화 추세에 따라 그 이용가치는 더욱 증대되고 있다. 본 연구엣는 TFT-LCD용 Color Filter 제조시 ITO박막형성을 위해 사용하는 magnetron sputter 내부의 플라즈마 분포 및 ion kinetic energy에 대한 해석을 실시하였으며, ITO target의 erosion 형상의 원인을 실험결과와 비교하였다. Magnetron sputtering은 target에 가해지는 bias 전압(DC 혹은 RF)에 의해 target과 shield 혹은 target과 substrate 사이에서 생성될 수 잇는 플라즈마를 target 및 부분에 붙어있는 영구자석을 이용하여 target 근처에 집중시키고, target 표면과 플라즈마 사이의 전위차에 의해 가속된 이온들이 target 표면과 충돌하여 이차 전자방출을 일으킴과 동시에 target 표면에서 sputtering을 일으키고, 이들 sputtered 된 중성의 atom 들이 substrate로 날아가 박막을 형성하는 원리로 작동된다. 이때 target에서 방출되는 이차전자들은 영구자석에 의한 자기장 효과에 의해 target 근처에 갇히게 되어 중성 기체분자들과 이온화반응을 통해 플라즈마를 유지하고 그 밀도를 높혀주는 역할을 담당하게 된다. 즉 낮은 압력 및 bias 전압에서도 플라즈마 밀도를 높일수 있고 sputtering 공정이 가능한 장점을 가지고 있다. Magnetron sputtering 현상에 대한 시뮬레이션은 크게 magnetron discharge와 sputtering에 대한 해석 두가지로 나누어 볼 수 있는데, sputtering 현상 자체를 수치묘사할 수 있는 정량적인 모델은 아직까지 명확하게 정립되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 magnetron plasma 자체에 대한 수치해석에 주안점을 두고 아울러 bulk plasma 영역에서 target으로 입사하는 이온들의 입사에너지 및 입사각도 등을 Monte Carlo 방법으로 추적하여 sputtering 현상을 유추해보았다. Sputtering 현상을 살펴보기 위해 magnetron sputter 내 플라즈마 밀도, 전자온도, 특히 target 및 substrate를 충돌하는 이온의 입사에너지 및 입사각 분포등을 계산하는데 hybrid 방법으로 시뮬레이션을 하였다. 즉 ion과 bulk electron에 대해서는 fluid 방식으로 접근하고, 이차전자 운동과 그로 인한 반응관계 및 target으로 입사하는 이온의 에너지와 입사각 분포는 Monte-Carlo 방법으로 처리하였다. 정지기장해석의 경우 상용 S/W인 Vector Fields를 사용하였다. 이를 통해 sputter 내 플라즈마 특성, target으로 입사하는 이온에너지 및 각 분포, 이들이 target erosion 형상에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 또한 이들 결과로부터 간단한 sputtering 모델을 사용하여 target으로부터 sputter된 입자들이 substrate에 부착되는 현상을 Monte-Carlo 방법으로 추적하여 성막특성도 살펴보았다.

This paper presents a Monte-Carlo based method to obtain a probability of interference in the 900MHz passive RFID systems. We show an efficient algorithm to calculate not only in-band interference due to unwanted emission of interfering sources for a given emission mask, but out-of-band interference, which depends on the blocking performances of a victim receiver filter. We next apply the proposed method to two types of RFID systems, one is to use simple FHSS and the other to adopt a hybrid use of FHSS and LBT, which senses the channel before transmission. Simulation is first performed with a SEAMCAT. We next make simulation with a MATLAB software which implements SEAMCAT algorithm and show both results from two softwares are similar.

It is very important to get very high switching speed as well as low phase noise of frequency synthesizer in the OFDM/FH communication system. In this paper we compare the phase noises and switching speeds of the conventional PLL and digital hybrid PLL(DH-PLL) frequency synthesizer, also, we investigate the effect of phase noise on the performance of OFDM/FH communication system. DH-PLL has high switching speed property at the cost of circuit complexity and more power consumption. Unlike the conventional PLL in which the phase noise and switching speed have the trade off relationship in respect of loop filter bandwidth, DH-PLL frequency synthesizer can perform fast switching speed and low phase noise simultaneously. Under the condition of same hopping speed requirement, DH-PLL can achieve faster switching speed and lower SNR penalty compared with conventional PLL in the OFDM/FH communication system.

This paper describes a spread-spectrum clock generation method by utilizing a ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ digital PLL (DPLL) which is solely based on binary phase detection and does not require a linear time-to-digital converter (TDC) or other linear digital-to-time converter (DTC) circuitry. A 1-bit high-order ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ modulator and a hybrid finite-impulse response (FIR) filter are employed to mitigate the phase-folding problem caused by the nonlinearity of the bang-bang phase detector (BBPD). The ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ DPLL employs a two-point modulation technique to further enhance linearity at the turning point of a triangular modulation profile. We also show that the two-point modulation is useful for the BBPLL to improve the spread-spectrum performance by suppressing the frequency deviation at the input of the BBPD, thus reducing the peak phase deviation. Based on the proposed architecture, a 3.2 GHz spread-spectrum clock generator (SSCG) is implemented in 65 nm CMOS. Experimental results show that the proposed SSCG achieves peak power reductions of 18.5 dB and 11 dB with 10 kHz and 100 kHz resolution bandwidths respectively, consuming 6.34 mW from a 1 V supply.

A candidate hybrid satellite and terrestrial network architecture, MSS/ATC(Mobile Satellite Service/Ancillary Terrestrial Component), is proposed for utilizing efficiently the exist MSS bands. Studies on the adjacent channel interference from the existing terrestrial mobile services and MSS/ATC itself are important to allocate a new ATC service frequency in MSS band. In this paper, we have analyzed the minimum permission power of terrestrial base station and the capacity loss with parameters of ACIR, number of MS(mobile Station) and MES(Mobile Earth Station) in uplink, and also, the capacity performance based on 1 beam and 1 cell assumption for MSS/ATC in downlink. The ACIR requirements are estimated in two MSS/ATC frequency allocation scenarios for 5 MHz and 10 MHz guard band to share spectrum with adjacent systems, and according to these ACIR requirements the service coverage and the receiver filter for ATC system should be designed in near future.

In this paper, as the mobile communication service is widely used and the demand for wireless repeaters is rapidly increasing because of the easiness of extending service areas. But a wireless repeater has a problem the oscillation due to feedback signal. We proposed a new hybrid interference canceller using the adaptive filter with CMA(Constant Modulus Algorithm)-Grouped LMS(Least Mean Square) algorithm in the adaptive interference canceller. The proposed interference canceller has better channel adaptive performance and a lower MSE(Mean Square Error) than conventional structure because it uses the cancellation method of Grouped LMS algorithm. The proposed detector uses the LMS algorithms with two different step size to reduce mean square error and to obtain fast convergence. This structure reduces the number of iterations for the same MSE performance and hardware complexity compared to conventional nonlinear interference canceller.

In this paper, we present a deep neural network-based prediction model that processes and analyzes the corporate credit and personal credit information of individual business owners as a new method to predict the default rate of individual business more accurately. In modeling research in various fields, feature selection techniques have been actively studied as a method for improving performance, especially in predictive models including many features. In this paper, after statistical verification of macroeconomic indicators (macro variables) and credit information (micro variables), which are input variables used in the default rate prediction model, additionally, through the credit information feature selection method, the final feature set that improves prediction performance was identified. The proposed credit information feature selection method as an iterative & hybrid method that combines the filter-based and wrapper-based method builds submodels, constructs subsets by extracting important variables of the maximum performance submodels, and determines the final feature set through prediction performance analysis of the subset and the subset combined set.

In order to improve the measurement accuracy of the 6-dimensional accelerometer, the cross coupling compensation method of the accelerometer needs to be studied. In this paper, the non-linear error caused by cross coupling of piezoelectric six-dimensional accelerometer is compensated online. The cross coupling filter is obtained by analyzing the cross coupling principle of a piezoelectric six-dimensional accelerometer. Linear and non-linear fitting methods are designed. A two-level calibration hybrid compensation algorithm is proposed. An experimental prototype of a piezoelectric six-dimensional accelerometer is fabricated. Calibration and test experiments of accelerometer were carried out. The measured results show that the average non-linearity of the proposed algorithm is 2.2628% lower than that of the least square method, the solution time is 0.019382 seconds, and the proposed algorithm can realize the real-time measurement in six dimensions while improving the measurement accuracy. The proposed algorithm combines real-time and high precision. The research results provide theoretical and technical support for the calibration method and online compensation technology of the 6-dimensional accelerometer.

Generally, it is essential to estimate exact disparity for the 3D modeling from stereo images. Because existing methods calculate disparities from a whole image, they require too much cimputational time and bring about the mismatching problem. In this article, using the characteristic that the disparity vectors in stereo images are distributed not equally in a whole image but only exist about the background and obhect, we do a wavelet transformation on stereo images and estimate coarse disparity fields from the reduced lowpass field using area-based method at first-step. From these coarse disparity vectors, we generate disparity histogram and then separate object from background area using it. Afterwards, we restore only object area to the original image and estimate dense and accurate disparity by our two-step pixel-based method which does not use pixel brightness but use second gradient. We also extract feature points from the separated object area and estimate depth information by applying disparity vectors and camera parameters. Finally, we generate 3D model using both feature points and their z coordinates. By using our proposed, we can considerably reduce the computation time and estimate the precise disparity through the additional pixel-based method using LOG filter. Furthermore, our proposed foreground/background method can solve the mismatching problem of existing Delaunay triangulation and generate accurate 3D model.
