  • The High maneuver missiles use various interfaces and high speed guidance and control loop. Hardware-in-the-Loop(HWIL) simulation control system, therefore, should have high performance computing power and hardware interface capabilities, and should be developed using IT technology with which real time operating system, embedded system, data communication technology, and real time hardware control are integrated. This paper suggests the control system design techniques, such as a system hardware configuration, a job distribution algorithm for high performance multi-processors, a real time calculation and control mechanism, inter-processor communication mechanism, and a real time data acquisition technique, to perform the HWIL simulation for high maneuver missile system.

  • Number Theoretic Transform (NTT) is a method to design efficient multiplier for large integer multiplication, which is widely used in cryptography and scientific computation. On top of that, it has also received wide attention from the research community to design efficient hardware architecture for large size RSA, fully homomorphic encryption, and lattice-based cryptography. Existing NTT hardware architecture reported in the literature are mainly designed based on radix-2 NTT, due to its small area consumption. However, NTT with larger radix (e.g., radix-4) may achieve faster speed performance in the expense of larger hardware resources. In this paper, we present the performance evaluation on NTT architecture in terms of hardware resource consumption and the latency, based on the proposed radix-2 and radix-4 technique. Our experimental results show that the 16-point radix-4 architecture is 2× faster than radix-2 architecture in expense of approximately 4× additional hardware. The proposed architecture can be extended to support the large integer multiplication in cryptography applications (e.g., RSA). The experimental results show that the proposed 3072-bit multiplier outperformed the best 3k-multiplier from Chen et al. [16] by 3.06%, but it also costs about 40% more LUTs and 77.8% more DSPs resources.

  • The integral image is the sum of input image pixel values. It is mainly used to speed up processing of a box filter operation, such as Haar-like features. However, large memory for integral image data can be an obstacle on an embedded hardware environment with limited memory resources. Therefore, an efficient method to store the integral image is necessary. In this paper, we propose a memory size reduction hardware design for integral image. The hardware design is used two methods. It is the new integral image memory and modulo calculation for reducing integral image data. The new integral image memory has additional calculation overhead, but it is not obstacle in hardware environment that parallel processing is possible. In the Xilinx Virtex5-LX330T targeted experimental result, integral image memory can be reduced by 50% on a $640{\times}480$ 8-bit gray-scale input image.

  • In this paper, we propose the method of hardware-design for the division operation of image frame-unit processing in mobile phone camera. Generally, there are two types of the data processing, which are the parallel and serial type. The parallel type makes it possible to process in realtime, but it needs significant hardware size due to many comparators and buffer memories. Compare the serial type with the parallel type, the hardware size of the serial type is smaller than the other because it uses only one comparator, but serial type is not able to process in realtime. To use the hardware resources efficiently, we employ the serial divider since frame-unit operation for image processing does not need realtime process. When compared with both in the same bit size and operating frequency, the hardware size of the serial divider is approximately in the ratio of 13 percentage compared with the parallel divider.

  • In hardware design, its stability and reliability are important, because a hardware error can cause serious damages or disaster. To improve stability and reliability, this paper presents the implementation of the hardware verification system using the fault injection method in PC environment. This paper presents a verification platform that can verify hardware system reliably and effectively, through a process to generate faults as well as insert input signals into the actual running system environment. The verification system is configured to connect a PC with a digital I/O card, and it can transmit or receive signals from the target system, as a verifier's intention. In addition, it can generate faults and inject them into the target system. And it can be monitored by displaying the received signals from the target system to the graphical wave signals. We can evaluate its reliability by analyzing the graphical wave signals. In this paper, the proposed verification system has been applied to the FPGA firmware of a nuclear power plant control system. As a result, we found its usefulness and reliability.

  • Indoor location estimation studies are needed in various fields. The method of estimating the indoor position can be divided into a method using hardware and a method using no hardware. The use of hardware is more accurate, but has the disadvantage of hardware installation costs. Conversely, the non-hardware method is not costly, but it is less accurate. To estimate the location for AR game, you need to get the solution of the Perspective-N-Point (PnP). To obtain the PnP problem, we need three-dimensional coordinates of the space in which we want to estimate the position and images taken in that space. The position can be estimated through six pairs of two-dimensional coordinates matching the three-dimensional coordinates. To further increase the accuracy of the solution, we proposed the use of an additional non-coplanarity degree to determine which points would increase accuracy. As the non-coplanarity degree increases, the accuracy of the position estimation becomes higher. The advantage of the proposed method is that it can be applied to all existing location estimation methods and that it has higher accuracy than hardware estimation.

  • This paper presents compact cryptographic hardware architecture suitable for the Mobile Trusted Module (MTM) that requires low-area and low-power characteristics. The built-in cryptographic engine in the MTM is one of the most important circuit blocks and contributes to the performance of the whole platform because it is used as the key primitive supporting digital signature, platform integrity and command authentication. Unlike personal computers, mobile platforms have very stringent limitations with respect to available power, physical circuit area, and cost. Therefore special architecture and design methods for a compact cryptographic hardware module are required. The proposed cryptographic hardware has a chip area of 38K gates for RSA and 12.4K gates for unified SHA-1 and SHA-256 respectively on a 0.25um CMOS process. The current consumption of the proposed cryptographic hardware consumes at most 3.96mA for RSA and 2.16mA for SHA computations under the 25MHz.

  • Realizations of multirate converters are proposed using periodically time-varying (PTV) structures. By exploiting the computational redundancy of the filtering operation in a multirate filter, it is possible to implement the filter with much less hardware. In the proposed implementations, several coefficients time-share in a periodic fashion the hardware of one multiply-and-add. Therefore, each multiply-and-add circuit performs different coefficient scalings at different time instants within a period. Compared to the direct form realization, the proposed realizations reduce the hardware of an interpolator and a decimator by a factor of approximately U and M, respectively, while retaining the same processing speed, where U and M are the upsampling and downsampling factors, respectively. The approach can be used to obtain realizations for sampling rate conversion by a rational factor of U/M, where U and M are relatively prime, in which case hardware reduction by a factor of approximately UM can be achieved.

  • This paper presents hardware implementation of background timing-skew calibration technique for time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (TI ADCs). The timing skew between any two adjacent analog-digital (A/D) channels is detected by using pure digital Finite Impulse Response (FIR) delay filter. This paper includes hardware architecture of the system, main units and small sub-blocks along with control logic circuits. Moreover, timing diagrams of logic simulations using ModelSim are provided and discussed for further understanding about simulations. Simulation process in MATLAB and Verilog is also included and provided with basic settings need to be done. For hardware implementation it not practical to work with all samples. Hence, the simulation is conducted on 512 TI ADC output samples which are stored in the buffer simultaneously and the correction arithmetic is done on those samples according to the time skew algorithm. Through the simulated results, we verified the implemented hardware is working well.
