나노 통신 시스템 기술은 통신기술과 나노기술의 융합 분야로서 밀리미터 수준의 통신 모듈 크기에 머물고 있는 현 기술수준을 뛰어넘어 수백 나노미터에서 수십 마이크로미터 이하 단위의 극소형 무선통신 시스템 구현을 가능케 하는 미래 핵심 기술 분야이다. 특히, 최근 제안된 탄소나노튜브의 전기적/기계적 속성을 활용한 신규 극소형 나노 무선 통신시스템 기술은 기존 송수신 구조를 단순히 소형화하는 것이 아니라 구조 자체를 바꾸는 새로운 접근 방식을 제시하고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 탄소나노튜브(carbon nanotube, CNT)를 활용한 극소형 나노 무선 송수신기 실현 관점에서의 연구현황을 살펴보고 나노 기술과 통신 기술의 융합을 위한 주요 핵심 연구이슈를 제시한다.

Nano scale networks are futuristic networks deemed as enablers for the Internet of Nano Things, Body area nano networks, target tracking, anomaly/ abnormality detection at molecular level and neuronal therapy / drug delivery applications. Molecular communication is considered the most compatible communication technology for nano devices. However, connectivity in such networks is very low due to inter-symbol interference (ISI). Few research papers have addressed the issue of ISI mitigation in molecular communication. However, many of these methods are not adaptive to dynamic environmental conditions. This paper presents an enhancement over original Memory-1 ISI cancellation scheme using maximum likelihood estimation of a channel parameter (λ) to make it adaptable to variable channel conditions. Results of the Monte Carlo simulation show that, the connectivity (P_conn) improves by 28% for given simulation parameters and environmental conditions by using enhanced Memory-1 cancellation method. Moreover, this ISI mitigation method allows reduction in symbol time (Ts) up to 50 seconds i.e. an improvement of 75% is achieved.

Sensors collect information for Internet of Things (IoT)-based services. However, indoor construction sites have a poor communication environment and many interfering elements that make it difficult to collect sensor information. In this study, a network was constructed between a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)-based IoT device based on a serverless IoT framework and a router. This experimental environment was applied to large- and small-scale indoor construction sites. Experiments were performed to test the communication performance of BLE-based IoT devices and routers at indoor construction sites. An analysis of the received signal strength indication (RSSI) graph patterns collected from the communication between the BLE-based IoT devices and routers for different testbed site situation revealed areas with good communication performance and poor communication performance due to interfering factors. The results confirmed that structural components of the building as well as the materials, equipment, and temporary facilities used in indoor construction interfere with the communication performance. Construction project managers will require improved technical knowledge of IoT, such as optimizing the router placement and matching communication between the router and workers, to improve the communication performance for large-scale indoor construction.

The small-scale magnetospheric and ionospheric plasma experiment (SNIPE) is a mission initiated by the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) in 2017 and comprises four 6U-sized nano-satellites (Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute Satellite-1, KASISat-1) flying in formations. The main goal of the SNIPE mission is to investigate the space environment in low Earth orbit at 500-km. Because Iridium & GPS Board (IGB) is installed on the KASISat-1, a communication simulation is required to analyze the contact number and the duration. In this study, communication simulations between the Iridium satellite network and KASISat-1 are performed using STK Pro (System Tool Kit Pro Ver 11.2) from the AGI (Analytical Graphics, Inc.). The contact number and durations were analyzed by each orbit and date. The analysis shows that the average access number per day is 38.714 times, with an average of 2.533 times per orbit for a week. Furthermore, on average, the Iridium satellite communication is linked for 70.597 min daily. Moreover, 4.625 min is the average duration of an individual orbit.

The heterodyne laser interferometer has a nano-meter scale resolution. However, the unwanted nonlinearity error caused from frequency-mixing limits the ultra-precise resolution. In this paper, we propose a recursive WLS algorithm to improve the resolution of heterodyne laser interferometer. Some experimental results show an effectiveness of the recursive WLS algorithm in nano-meter scale resolution.

세 채널로 구성된 나노 크기의 플라즈마 방향성 결합기가 모드 결합효과와 립형 전송구조를 사용하여 설계되었다. 종방향 모드 전송선로 해석법을 이용하여 방향성 결합기에서 전파하는 빛의 전파특성과 설계특성들을 분석하였다. 전력분배기로 동작하는 플라즈마 방향성 결합기는 약 200~250 nm의 전송 폭을 갖는 나노 크기로 설계하였다. 최적의 전력분배율을 얻기 위하여 중심 채널의 폭 변화에 따른 전송 모드들의 굴절률을 분석하였다. 결국, 하향 채널에서 입사된 광 신호를 각 채널을 통하여 출력하는 나노 크기의 플라즈마 방향성 결합기가 설계되었다.

In many cases the systems are so complex that it is not possible to obtain reasonable models using physical laws. Also a model based on physical laws contains a number of unknown parameters even if the structure is derived from physical laws. These problems can be solved by system identification. In this paper, a nano stage system is selected as an example for system identification. The transfer functions of this system is derived by using state-space model structure based on input/output data through experiment.

Visible light-sensitive $TiO_2$ and ZnO nanostructure materials have attracted great attention as the promising material for solar energy conversion systems such as photocatalysts for water splitting and environmental purification as well as nano-biosensors. Success of their applications relies on how to control their surface state behaviors related to the exciton dynamics and optoelectronic properties. In this paper, we briefly review some recent works on single nanoparticle photoluminescence (PL) technique and its application to observation of their surface state behaviors which are raveled by the conventional ensemble-averaged spectroscopic techniques. This review provides an opportunity to understand the temporal and spatial heterogeneities within an individual nanostructure, allowing for the potential use of single-nanoparticle approaches in studies of their photoenergy conversion and nano-scale optical biosensing.
