OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is widely used in wideband wireless communication systems due to its excellent performance. However, OFDM has a disadvantage of high peak-to-average power ratio and SC-FDE(Single-Carrier with Frequency-Domain Equalization) was introduced to overcome the drawback. SC-FDE is less sensitive to nonlinear power amplifiers than OFDM while its complexity and performance is comparable. This paper proposes a frequency diversity technique for single-antenna BPSK SC-FDE systems using repeated QPSK transmissions with rearranged transmission patterns.

This paper presents a new test data compression and low power scan test method that can reduce test time and power consumption. A proposed method can reduce the scan-in power and test data volume using a modified scan cell reordering algorithm and hybrid adaptive encoding method. Hybrid test data compression method uses adaptively the Golomb codes and run-length codes according to length of runs in test data, which can reduce efficiently the test data volume compare to previous method. We apply a scan cell reordering technique to minimize the column hamming distance in scan vectors, which can reduce the scan-in power consumption and test data. Experimental results for ISCAS 89 benchmark circuits show that reduced test data and low power scan testing can be achieved in all cases. The proposed method showed an about a 17%-26% better compression ratio, 8%-22% better average power consumption and 13%-60% better peak power consumption than that of previous method.

In this paper the uplink single carrier scheme is proposed for wireless Internet application and its performance is evaluated in terms of PAPR (peak to average power ratio) and ABR (achievable bit rate) compared with the uplink OFDM scheme. There exist constraints regarding the signal amplification because the non-linear amplifier should be exploited instead of the linear amplifier due to its high cost of linear amplifier and power inefficiency at the WiBro terminal. Therefore characteristics in the uplink scheme design are discussed in order to maximize ABR and relieve the requirements for the amplifier specifications.

This paper proposes a new hybrid scheme to decrease the high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals in visible light communication (VLC) systems. The PAPR causes nonlinear signal distortions and high power requirements for the VLC transmitter (light emitting diode, LED). The proposed method is applicable for both direct current-biased optical OFDM (DCO-OFDM) and asymmetrically clipped optical OFDM (ACO-OFDM). In the proposed scheme, the PTS method is firstly modified to fit both optical OFDM approaches transmission and then combined with signal clipping method for further PAPR reduction and bit error rate (BER) improvement of the VLC system. The performance of hybrid scheme has been evaluated and compared with the original OFDM based VLC system, conventional PTS and clipping methods. The results show that the hybrid scheme outperforms other methods in terms of both the PAPR reduction and BER performance.

In this paper, we propose a novel equal-gain differential precoding scheme utilizing temporal correlation of channels. The conventional differential precoding schemes only quantize a part of channel space not the whole channel space, so that it virtually increases codebook size which enhances the system capacity. But the conventional differential schemes increase peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) without preserving equal-gain transmission. This paper proposes the design method of equal-gain differential precoding scheme and analyzes the performances of the proposed equal-gain precoding scheme. Monte-Carlo simulations verify that the proposed scheme has an advantage of 1dB to obtain the same system capacity with the same amount of feedback information compared with the conventional LTE schemes, with showing very low PAPR property.

An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) system has the problem of peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) due to the overlapping phenomena of many sub-carriers. In order to improve the performance of PAPR, we propose in this paper a new genetic sub-block phase weighting(GA-SPW) using the SPW technique. Not only the selecting mapping(SLM) and the partial sequence(PTS) but also the previously proposed SPW becomes more effective as the number of sub-blocks and phase elements increases. However, all of them have limitation on the number of sub-blocks since the searching repetition increases exponentially as the number of sub-blocks increases. Therefore, in this research, a new GA SPW is proposed to reduce the amount of calculation by using Genetic algorithm(GA). In the proposed method, the number of calculations involved in the iterative phase searching yields to depend on the number of population and generation not on the number of sub-blocks and phase elements. The superiority of the proposed method is presented in the experimental results and analysis.

Orthgonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM) system is effective for the high data rate transmission in the frequency selective fading channel. In this paper we propose PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio) reduction method of problem in OFDM system used Fuzzy theory that often control machine. This thesis proposes PAPR reducing method of OFDM system using Fuzzy theory. The advantages for using Fuzzy theory to reduce PAPR are that it is easy to manage the data and embody the hardware, and required smaller amount of operation. Firstly, we proposed simple algorithm that is reconstructed at receiver with transmitted overall PAPR which is reduced PAPR of sub-block using Fuzzy. Although there are some drawbacks that the operation of the system is increased comparing conventional OFDM system and it is needed to send the information about Fuzzy indivisually, it is assured that the performance of the system is enhanced for PAPR reducing. To evaluate the perfomance, the proposed search algorithm is compared with the proposed algorithm in terms of the complementary cumulative distribution function(CCDF) of the PAPR and the computational complexity. As a result of using the QPSK and 16QAM modulation, Fuzzy theory method is more an effective method of reducing 2.3 dB and 3.1 dB PAPR than exiting OFDM system when FFT size(N)=512, and oversampling=4 in the base PR of $10^{-5}$.

A new plasma process, i.e., the combination of PIII&D and HIPIMS, was developed to implant non-gaseous ions into materials surface. HIPIMS is a special mode of operation of pulsed-DC magnetron sputtering, in which high pulsed DC power exceeding ~1 kW/$cm^2$ of its peak power density is applied to the magnetron sputtering target while the average power density remains manageable to the cooling capacity of the equipment by using a very small duty ratio of operation. Due to the high peak power density applied to the sputtering target, a large fraction of sputtered atoms is ionized. If the negative high voltage pulse applied to the sample stage in PIII&D system is synchronized with the pulsed plasma of sputtered target material by HIPIMS operation, the implantation of non-gaseous ions can be successfully accomplished. The new process has great advantage that thin film deposition and non-gaseous ion implantation along with in-situ film modification can be achieved in a single plasma chamber. Even broader application areas of PIII&D technology are believed to be envisaged by this newly developed process. In one application of non-gaseous plasma immersion ion implantation, Ge ions were implanted into SiO2 thin film at 60 keV to form Ge quantum dots embedded in SiO2 dielectric material. The crystalline Ge quantum dots were shown to be 5~10 nm in size and well dispersed in SiO2 matrix. In another application, Ag ions were implanted into SS-304 substrate to endow the anti-microbial property of the surface. Yet another bio-application was Mg ion implantation into Ti to improve its osteointegration property for bone implants. Catalyst is another promising application field of nongaseous plasma immersion ion implantation because ion implantation results in atomically dispersed catalytic agents with high surface to volume ratio. Pt ions were implanted into the surface of Al2O3 catalytic supporter and its H2 generation property was measured for DME reforming catalyst. In this talk, a newly developed, non-gaseous plasma immersion ion implantation technique and its applications would be shown and discussed.

OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system is robust to frequency selective fading and narrowband interference in high-speed data communications. However, an OFDM signal consists of a number of independently modulated subcarriers and the superposition of these subcarriers causes a problem that can give a large PAPR(Peak-to-Average Power Ratio). Phase rotation method can reduce the PAPR without nonlinear distortion by multiplying phase weighting factors. But computational complexity of searching phase weighting factors is increased exponentially with the number of subblocks and considered phase factor. Therefore, a new method, which can reduce computational complexity and detect phase weighting factors efficiently, should be developed. In this paper, a modeling process is introduced, which apply metaheuristic algerian in phase rotation method and optimize in PTS (Particle Swarm Optimization) scheme. Proposed algorithm can solve the computational complexity and guarantee to reduce PAPR We analyzed the efficiency of the PAPR reduction through a simulation when we applied the proposed method to telecommunication systems.

In this paper, a complementary metal oxide semiconductor(CMOS) power amplifier(PA) integrated circuit operating in the 900 MHz band for long-term evolution(LTE) communication systems is presented. The output matching network based on a transformer was implemented on a printed circuit board for low loss. Simultaneously, to achieve high efficiency of the PA, the second harmonic impedances are controlled. The CMOS PA was fabricated using a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process and measured using an LTE uplink signal with a bandwidth of 10 MHz and peak to average power ratio of 7.2 dB for verification. The implemented CMOS PA module exhibits a power gain of 24.4 dB, power-added efficiency of 34.2%, and an adjacent channel leakage ratio of -30.1 dBc at an average output power level of 24.3 dBm.
