  • The highest priority of the cruise trip is the safety and comfort of its passengers. Though the cruise lines take every appropriate measure to ensure that their Passengers are safe and experience enjoyable vacations it is hard to fulfill all passenger's personnel requirement with limited number of crews. Generally, each passenger is issued an identification card which contains their digital photo and personal identification information on a magnetic strip that he or she must present when entering or leaving the ship. This technology allows the ship to know which Passengers and crew members are on board and which are not. However, this system has some limitations of functions and usage. To support each passenger as his or her personal liking, additional number of crews or some kind of new system is needed. In this paper, the crew support system based on sensor network using wireless and wired communication technologies was studied. To design the system, PLC(Power Line Communication) system and ZigBee based passenger location recognition, classification system has studied experimentally. By using this system, crews can serve passengers more closely and personally with less effort.

  • The paper is to solve the problem of existing audio signal transfer system which has a difficulties of system organization and the increase of additional install cost and unfriendly interior. To solve the existing system, we drew the new audio signal transfer system based on PLC and evaluated it. A transmitter and a receiver were designed using the PLC chip INT5500CS. An audio signal transfer system was configured with a CD player to which audio signals are sent from the transmitter and a speaker connected to the receiver. For performance evaluation of this system, a USBPre external sound card and Smaart Live 5 which is a PC-based sound measuring program were added. As a result of our experiment, the measured signal level is $2{\sim}3$ dB lower than reference signal, latency is 16.69 ms, and the specific character of coherency is bad in high frequency band. Otherwise, this system transmits and receives signals over 90 % in good condition as a result of measuring pink noise, frequency (1 kHz), and phase, magnitude. In view of the result so far achieved, the system designed this study has excellent performance, it resolves defect of existing audio signal transfer system.

  • We have studies on the Microstructures and densities as a function of forming pressures and the magnetic properties of the specimens with additive Bi$_2$O$_3$ that sintered at 95$0^{\circ}C$ for 4.5 hours for synthesizing optimal Ni-Cu-Zn ferrite. Green density rose generally as Forming pressure increased from 1.7 ton/cm$^2$to 2.5 ton/cm$^2$and Cold Isostatic Pressure(CIP) method was more effective than Die Pressure(DP) method to high green density. Forming pressure had no influence on apparent density but on the other hand Bi$_2$O$_3$contents were strongly dominant to appaernt density than forming pressure. Bi$_2$O$_3$liquid phases created during sintering process promoted sintering and grain growth so that apparent density, grain size and permeability increased compared to that of the specimens which were sintered with non-additive Bi$_2$O$_3$.

  • Recent studies have been conducted on powerline communications as a viable alternative to the spread of the spread of the Internet and the Internet as the chief source of information act in the information age, the internet does not reach local Last Mile Solution. Powerline communication, but because it has been designed to transfer power to the high frequency signal to be sent when the close of wireless communications services impacted. The notch filters of a common way to eliminate the interference are used. In this paper, a dynamic high-performance notch filter applying WDF performance was verified through MATLAB and was implemented using a TI's TMS320C6416T DSP board.

  • The power line communication channel has characteristic variation problems which are caused by load. The spread spectrum technique has been used to overcome these problems. One of that is the direct sequence spread spectrum(DS/SS) system which is not necessary to additional hardwares. The BER of DS/SS system is decreased by longer length of PN code, but data transfer rate is decreases, so data transfer rate is hard to satisfies their own specifications especially in narrowband PLC systems. Spread Spectrum system with Dual-processing Gain tries to reflect cyclic characteristics of power line noise. But that system assumes that shapes of power line channel are symmetrical with respect to the 1/4 point of main frequency(60Hz in Korea), therefore cannot achieves various shapes of real power line noise. Thus in this paper, noise adaptive DS/SS system which PN code is changed by noise levels for various channel noises is proposed and simulated. The different kinds of noises are modeled and measured for simulation, the proposed system is verified that has lower data transfer rate and lower error rate than conventional system by simulation results.

  • Currently the development of powerline communication technology has become possible due to the high-speed communications. But the communication lines used for power line communication, not wires carrying power wiring is because when sending high-frequency wireless communication system unintentionally be influenced. To compensate for these shortcomings by using notch filters to reduce interference has been studied. Wavelet-based OFDM on the other hand by the method has been used to reduce interference. Wavelet-based OFDM has been used in the existing powerline OFDM scheme using FFT instead of the general structure of the CMFB filters to generate a signal. By doing so, subtly signals per frequency band, cut it, is to realize how efficient highways. It brought a deep filter characteristics, a flexible notch filter can be achieved without an external circuit has an advantage. In this paper, Using Wavelet OFDM powerline communication system is designed and presented the results of simulations.

  • 전력선통신 기술은 전력선로 자체를 통신선로로 이용함으로서 전력회사에서 전력설비의 원격 감시 혹은 제어에 활용하기 매우 손쉬운 장점이 있다. 특히, 최근 부각되는 지구온난화에 대비한 에너지 절감 및 온실가스 감축을 위한 중요한 방편으로 인식되는 원격검침시스템을 전력선통신을 이용하여 구축할 경우, 경제적, 기술적으로 우수한 장점을 지닌다. 원격검침을 위해서는 일반적으로 기계식 전력량계를 전자식 전력량계로 교체하여야 하며, 전자식 전력량계가 인접한 전력선통신모뎀에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 연구된 바가 거의 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전력량계가 미치는 잡음이나 삽입손실 등에 대한 특성을 시험 분석하고 전송특성에 어떻게 영향을 미치는 지 분석하여, 이를 바탕으로 전자식 전력량계의 규격 기준을 마련하고자 한다.
