In this paper, we propose an improved error correction code in order to improve the performance of digital modems for HF data communications and verify the performance of the proposed scheme. The proposed scheme employs outer Reed-Solomon codes concatenated with inner convolutional codes. Numerical results show that the proposed system significantly improves the bit error rate performance compared to the conventional PACTOR-III modems. Hence, the proposed system can improve the bandwidth efficiency of digital modems for HF data communications.

This paper introduces a new web based method to remotely upgrade firmwares of Cable Modems (CM) which are integral part in providing high-speed Internet access through Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) networks. Also, it discusses various practical problems arising in the upgrading process. Traditional upgrade has been performed by modifying the CM configuration fie. This paper shows a new web based CM firmware upgrade method using SNMP and MIB which greatly reduces upgrading time, cost and man-hour than traditional firmware upgrade methods. This method has been shown to be very efficient and practical. This method will make significant impact especially because tens of million cable modems are currently waiting to be upgraded soon to the next version from the current version.

Because there are numerous near field communication (NFC) technical standards and each standard has an independent communication protocol, an NFC software for controlling the protocols are significantly complicated. Especially, the anticollision algorithm for establishing the initial communication connection is classified into bit-oriented or time slot method according to the technical standards. Moreover, the anticollision algorithm is generally manipulated in software because of its complexity. In addition, since one host processor is shared by multiple modems in a connectivity SoC, embedding several communication modems with an NFC modem, the spare computing resources can be utilized for other modems by reducing the software cost to control the NFC modem. In this paper, we propose new design methods of the NFC modem for supporting anticollision, framing and bit rate detection in the hardware to reduce the software overhead. Therefore, the utilization of the NFC technology is enhanced in the connectivity SoC by minimizing the cost of software.

There are many applicable services such as remote metering, load control, distribution line automation, Pole transformer Monitoring having their own networks in the electric power company. The application of the optical network technology as the back-born network to the Automation Systems in KEPCO is potentially beneficial in reliability, speed, and expandability. The 1-core and 2-core optical modems were developed and used by the Distribution Automation System. But, They had some disadvantages and advantages. So, We designed the new optical modems applied each advantages. This paper presents some of design efforts and test results for the multi-channel optical modem at KRPRI.

The authors propose a robust symbol timing recovery (STR) for telephone line modems supporting data rates up to 32 Mbps. The STR is initialized by a start signal from carrier sensor, and the novel method is proposed which resolves the difference between the frequency of the transmitter's clock and the receiver's clock, called baud frequency offset. The proposed method is applied on digital receiver in a 16 frequency diverse quadrature amplitude modulation (FDQAM) system.

In this paper, sigma-delta A/D converter for ADSL modems using oversampling technique is designed. Conventionally, the oversampling A/D converter is consist of opamps, switched capacitors, quantizers, infernal D/A converters, and decimation filters. 3-bit flash A/D converter, 3-bit thermometer-based D/A converters, and sub-blocks are used for high speed operation. HSPICE simulator and CADENCE tool are used for verification and layout of the designed modulator. The internal A/D converter and D/A converters are operated at 130 MHz. In design of decimation filter Matlab is used for calculating coefficients and ModelSim and VHDL are used for design.

In this paper 10Mbps master-slave based PLC modems are tested for measuring and analyzing both network and application level performances in the general buildings. The devices under test consist of one master PLC modem and three slave modems. The selected parameters for inspecting the performances are throughput, latency and frame loss rate from the RFC 2544, and one-to-many and many-to-one throughput from the RFC 2285. The results of the performance test show that the PLC modems have Performed better in data transmission when the frame size is increased and the transmission speed is decreased. It is expected that these results will be useful to analyze the effect of noise sources when compared to the performance test under the noiseless environments.

This paper describes on development of integrated interface and applications to support stable digital data communication service for small and midium sized crafts exploiting SSB modems and HF wireless sets. Firstly, integrated interface module between GPS (Global Positioning System) and communication devices was developed. Secondly, maritime map was implemented into a display terminal to provide location tracking service and voyage planning function. In addition, condition monitoring service of crafts and fishing report functions as well as alarm functions were developed to support secure fishery. Results of performance measure on developed application services shows that error rate was less than 3% and communication delay was shorter than 1 second when a message length was less than 1 Kbyte along with one-to-many communication type.

Underwater sensor networks (USN) for ocean development and disaster prevention have been emerged as one of interesting research topics recently. Since a high-speed and inexpensive communication modem is a prerequisite for deployment of USN, we design and implement an underwater modem by utilizing general-purpose waterproof ultrasonic sensors in this paper. We also make experiments in indoor and outdoor environment with two modems facing each other to conduct a point-to-point communication. According to the experiments, we can achieve the data rates of 1.5 kbps in a water tank and 2 kbps in a pond. Also, the maximum communication distance between two modems is about 30 meters. Besides, we conduct a point-to-multipoint experiment imitating USN by deploying a gateway, a sink node and three sensor nodes in a water tank.

A spectral and power efficient modulation technique, named Compact Superposed Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (Compact-SQAM), is introduced. The performance of Compact-SQAM system, in a Linearly and nonlinearly amplified single and multicarrier environment, in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN), intersymbol interference(ISI), timing jitter and adjacent channel interference (ACI), is experimentally analyzed via computer simulation. Various channel conditions, such as channel spacing, between the main and adjacent channels and fade depth on the desired main channel, are examined. Our result shows that Compact-SQAM, and better P(e) performance that other modems using simple Butteroworth type postdetection receive filters. Especially, Compact-SQAM modem achieves higher efficiency of frequency utilization and better P(e) performance than other modems in the severly bandlimited nonlinear multicarrier channels.
