in this study, we developed a Monte Carlo imaging simulation code written by the visual C$\^$++/ programing language for design optimization of a digital X-ray imaging system. As a digital X-ray imaging system, we considered a Gd$_2$O$_2$S(Tb) scintillator and a photosensor array, and included a 2D parallel grid to simulate general test renditions. The interactions between X-ray beams and the system structure, the behavior of lights generated in the scintillator, and their collection in the photosensor array were simulated by using the Monte Carlo method. The scintillator thickness and the photosensor array pitch were assumed to 66$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 48$\mu\textrm{m}$, respertively, and the pixel format was set to 256 x 256. Using the code, we obtained X-ray images under various simulation conditions, and evaluated their image qualities through the calculations of SNR (signal-to-noise ratio), MTF (modulation transfer function), NPS (noise power spectrum), DQE (detective quantum efficiency). The image simulation code developed in this study can be applied effectively for a variety of digital X-ray imaging systems for their design optimization on various design parameters.

수많은 방식의 ECG 압축 코딩 알고리즘이 개발되어왔고 현재도 개발 중이지만 각자의 알고리즘의 성능에 유리한 특정 데이터만을 분석하고 압축율이 다름으로 인해 다른 알고리즘과의 성능 비교를 객관화하고 있지 못하였다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 MIT-BIH에서 제공하는 ECG 신호와 달리 시뮬레이션된 ECG 신호를 기반으로 각각의 알고리즘에 대한 성능비교를 하여 ECG신호의 특성에 따른 코딩 알고리즘의 압축율 및 평균 오차 에러의 정도를 분석비교하였다. 비교 대상 알고리즘으로는 상용화되어 널리 사용되는 Delta 코팅 방식의 문턱치를 갖는 Discrete Pulse Code Modulation과 Discrete Cosine Transform, Lifting Wavelet Transform과 Wavelet 기반 Linear Prediction 4가지 알고리즘을 대상으로 분석하였다. Compression Ratio (CR)을 2,4로 고정하고 Percentage of Root-mean-square difference (PDR)를 분석 한 결과, EMG 잡음의 진폭변 화에는 0.1mV이하의 경우 OCT, Wavelet Lifiting Transform이 낮은 PDR을 보였고, 01.mV이상의 경우 Wavelet based Linear Prediction (WLP)이 낮은 PDR을 보였다. Heart Rate의 간격에 변화를 주어 불규칙성이 있는 경우 WLP가 가장 안좋은 PDR 결과를 보였으며, DCT가 가장 낮고 안정된 PDR 결과를 보였다. DPCM은 노이즈와 진폭간격의 변화에 상관없이 압축율에 의해 크게 PDR 성능 결과가 변화함을 나타내었다.

In this paper, a comprehensive design of HBC(Human Body Communication) system for capsule endoscope is presented. First, we propose a method of combining the signals received from multiple patches attached to the body of patient through differential operation and derive the signal SNR mathematically. To synchronize HBC transmission signal sent from capsule, we analyzed coarse timing synchronization method using PN code and fine timing synchronization performance among Manchester, NRZ and RZ modulation method using ZCD(Zero Crossing Detector). In addition, we evaluated the equalization performance of HBC signal frame in Rician and Rayleigh channel environments by applying LMS and RLS algorithm.

In this paper, we present a symbol remapping method of BRGC M-ary QAM signal by using LLR soft bit decision information which is obtained after iterative decoding process. In order to reconstruct estimated transmitted signal constellation, we have to use exponential or hyperbolic tangent(tanh) function resulting in high implementation complexity. The BRGC mapping rule enables us to use a recursive operation. In addtion, we reduce the implementing complexity by using a curve fitting algorithm.

This paper presents a novel 90 GHz band 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) communication system. The system can deliver 6 Gbps through six channels with a bandwidth of 3 GHz. Each channel occupies 500 MHz and delivers 1 Gbps using 16-QAM OFDM. To implement the system, a low-noise amplifier and an RF up/down conversion fourth-harmonically pumped mixer are implemented using a $0.1-{\mu}m$ gallium arsenide pseudomorphic high-electron-mobility transistor process. A polarization-division duplex architecture is used for full-duplex communication. In a digital modem, OFDM with 256-point fast Fourier transform and (255, 239) Reed-Solomon forward error correction codecs are used. The modem can compensate for a carrier-frequency offset of up to 50 ppm and a symbol rate offset of up to 1 ppm. Experiment results show that the system can achieve a bit error rate of $10^{-5}$ at a signal-to-noise ratio of about 19.8 dB.

On the homodyne interferometers, high pass filter(HPF) is usually used to remove the electrical noise in the interferent signal. Heterodyne interferometer has modulating frequency is shifted in the frequency region where the electrical noise effect is minimized by HPF effect. However, on the homodyne interferometer, the interferent DC-component of homodyne interferometer is unfortunately eliminated by using a HPF because its shifted frequency does not exist. Moreover, this effect is more serious the vibration amplitude is smaller. So, when unstable interferent signals via HPF are demodulated, a velocity is distorted. In this work, the mathematical explanation for the distortion of the homodyne interferent signal using the HPF is given. New synthetic heterodyne LDV based on the homodyne interferometer by exciting the reference mirror is proposed for the cancellation of the distortion. The optimum excitation condition of the mirror to compensate the distortion is discussed. The numerical simulation using the commercial MATLAB code is provided to show the effect of the proposed synthetic heterodyne LDV. The experimental results are also given and the effect of the proposed LDV is discussed.

A Multicarrier code division multiple access(MC-CDMA) is a scheme that combines multicarrier modulation with CDMA. It offers robustness to frequency selective fading effect and can support higher rate data transmission with higher spectral efficiency. The objective of this article is proposed and analyzed a new asynchronous MC-CDMA system with various kinds of data rates which employs a multiple access interference (MAI) canceller. The proposed multirate MC-CDMA system can be accomplished by changing the number of Parallel branch(P) according to their data rate and hybrid interference canceller(HIC) are used for MAI cancellation. We compare the performance of proposed system in terms of average bit error rate(BER) with that of a single rate MC-CDMA system. The results show the large improvement in performance that can be attained by the cancellation scheme under multipath environments.

This paper reports a cognitive radio network architecture based on overloaded multicarrier direct sequence code division multiple access (O-MC-DS-CDMA). The O-MC-DSCDMA technique combines CDMA with a multicarrier modulation technique to overcome the channel fading effects. In this technique, secondary users are enabled to share the available bandwidth with the existing primary users. Two sets of orthogonal Gold codes are used to support the primary and secondary users simultaneously. The orthogonality between the spreading codes is lost due to the non-zero cross correlation between the codes and the timing synchronization error in the uplink transmission, which causes interference between primary and secondary users. This paper proposes two modified hybrid parallel/successive interference cancellation techniques for primary and secondary user base station receivers with multiple antennas to suppress the interference among users. Interference among the same group of users is cancelled by parallel interference cancellation and the interference among groups is cancelled using successive interference cancellation. The simulation results confirmed that the proposed modified interference cancellation techniques show better BER performance over conventional interference cancellation techniques.

This paper describes the development of the telemetry link system for the high data rate transmission in high speed rocket application. In consideration of bandwidth efficiency, frequency selective fading and doppler frequency offset, we used DQPSK instead of PCM/FM which has been the primary modulation format in aeronautical telemetry. Also we used the spatial diversity with multiple receiving antennas to mitigate multipath interference which is the dominant channel impairment and the Turbo Product Code for Forward Error Correction to improve bit error rate performance.

Space-time block codes (STBC) have no coding gain but they provide a full diversity gain with relatively low encoder/decoder complexity. Therefore, STBC should be concatenated with an outer code which provides an additional coding gain. In this paper, we consider the concatenation of multiple trellis-coded modulation (MTCM) codes with STBC for achieving significant coding gain with full antenna diversity. Using criteria of equal transmit power, spectral efficiency and the number of trellis states, the performance of concatenated scheme is compared to that of previously known space-time trellis codes (STTC) in terms of frame error rate (FER). Simulation results show that MTCM codes concatenated with STBC offer better performance on fast Rayleigh fading channels, than previously known STTC with two transmit antennas and one receive antenna.
