Next generation wireless communication systems require RF transceivers that enable multiband/multimode operations. Polar transmitters are known as good candidates for high data rate systems such as EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), and WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) because they can obtain high efficiency by using efficient switched-mode RF power amplifiers. In this paper, we investigate the performance of a simple peak windowing scheme for the OFDM (Orthogonal frequency Division Multiplexing) polar transmitter, which requires no change of a receiver structure or no additional information transmission. The approach we employed is to apply the peak windowing scheme to the amplitude modulated signals of the polar transmitter to reduce the PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio). The BER (Bit Error Rate) and EVM (Error Vector Magnitude) performances are measured for various window types and lengths. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm mitigates out-of-band distortion introduced by clipping along with PAPR reduction.

Due to its superior error correcting performance with affordable hardware complexity, the Polar code becomes one of the most important error correction codes (ECCs) and now intensively examined to check its applicability in various fields. However, Successive Cancellation (SC) decoding that brings the advanced Successive Cancellation List (SCL) decoding suffers from the long latency due to the nature of serial processing limiting the practical implementation. To mitigate this problem, many decoding architectures, mainly divided into pruning and parallel decoding, are presented in previous manuscripts. In this paper, we compare the recent SC decoding architectures and analyze them using a tree structure.

비만이 사회적 문제로 대두되면서 운동에 대한 관심이 크게 증가하고 있다. 스마트 기기를 활용한 효과적인 운동 모니터링 및 관리를 위한 애플리케이션이 많이 개발되고 있다. 이러한 애플리케이션들은 운동 모니터링 및 운동 효과에 따른 칼로리 소모량 산출 기능을 제공하고 있으나, 운동시 실내와 실외를 구분하지 않는다. 그러나 실내와 실외 운동에 따른 칼로리 소모량은 다르게 산출되므로, 그 정확도가 떨어진다. 논문에서는 실내와 실외 운동으로 구분하고, 또한 Polar H7의 맥박 센서를 스마트폰에 연동하여 운동효과에 따른 칼로리 소모량을 정확하게 산출하여 보여주는 운동 모니터링 애플리케이션을 개발한다.

Recently, much attention has been focused on the change and role of the Arctic region due to climate change. Studies using various platforms are being conducted in the polar regions. Among them, monitoring of Arctic cryosphere information using remote sensing is the most important observational role of various scientific activities. This special issue introduces several studies on polar exploration monitoring in polar research. We hope that this special issue contributes to the sharing of information on the role of polar exploration in remote areas, as well as the identification of the current status of domestic polar exploration and remote environmental exploration. We are also looking forward to the efforts of Korean remote sensing experts to find out the persistent polar exploration field and to increase national support.

The object of this study is to discuss the effect of cutting fluid on the mechanism of chip formation in orthogonal cutting. Rehbinder effect has been known as a phenomenon, the reduction of mechanical strength, when the metal is exposed in a polar organic environment or the surface of metal is coated with some polar organic substances. About the cause of Rehbinder effect there have been many different ideas by Rehbinder, Merchant, Shaw, Sakakida and etc. In this report, the effects of surface active medium (magic ink) upon the mechanism of chip formation on the orthogonal cutting of copper and the mechanical properties of the work material are experimentally discussed with constant rake angle. Under the condition of polar organic environment the experimental results are as follows; 1) The chip thickness becomes thinner and slip line pitch on the free surface of chip becomes smaller than that of dried cutting area. 2) The order of alternation of cutting ratio was changed. 3) The friction angle on the tool face is not affected by the depth of cut. 4) The cutting force and shear strain on the shear plane decrease remarkably, therefore the work material must be embrittled under polar organic environment.

Polar codes are one of the most favorable capacity-achieving codes due to their simple structure and low decoding complexity. However, because of the disappointing decoding performance realized using conventional successive cancellation (SC) decoders, polar codes cannot be used directly in practical applications. In contrast to conventional SC decoders, list SC (SCL) decoders with large list sizes (e.g. 32) achieve performances very close to those of maximum-likelihood (ML) decoders. In SCL decoders with large list sizes, however, hardware increase is a severe problem because an SCL decoder with list size L consists of L copies of an SC decoder. In this paper, we present a low-area SCL decoder architecture that applies the proposed merged processing element-sharing (MPES) algorithm. A merged processing element (MPE) is the basic processing unit in SC decoders, and the required number of MPEs is L(N-1) in conventional SCL decoders. Using the proposed algorithm reduces the number of MPEs by about 70% compared with conventional SCL decoders when the list size is larger than 32.

The density of polar-nonpolar liquid mixtures composed of methyl tert-butyl ether(MTBE) and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, and the density of polar-polar liquid mixture of MTBE and MEK were measured by densitometer at 278.15 K, 288.15 K and 298.15 K, respectively. The excess molar volume of the binary systems calculated from the measured density was shown good agreement with the calculated one by the cubic Peng-Robinson- Stryjek-Vera (PRSV) equation of state together with Huron-Vidal mixing rule and it confirmed that the cubic PRSV equation of state could be used in the molar volume calculation of polar mixture.

In this paper, We made the microwave polar transmitter based on the software to analyze the synchronization status between the phase signal and the amplitude signal of polar transmitter, and analyzed the result. In order to solve the time delay mismatch problem, we applied simplified compensation algorithm and compared the synchronization status between the two paths before and after compensation. Before compensation, the value of time delay mismatch was the maximum of 97 nsec at 9.3 GHz with the occupied bandwidth of 12 MHz, but after applying the compensation algorithm, the signals between the two paths were synchronized, and we identified the occupied bandwidth could recover to the previous 3.7 MHz.

Multi-band and multi-mode transmitters are needed for SDR and CR. Recently many types of polar transmitters have been studied in order to implement a multi-band and multi-mode transmitter. Polar transmitters have many advantages, such as a simple structure, high efficiency and etc. In this paper we consider the number of D/A bit and the effects of a delay mismatch as design parameters for implementing polar transmitters. From the simulation we know that a 10 bit D/A is sufficient and a delay mismatch must be maintained small than 1/64 chip for satisfying the spectrum mask characteristics. We implement a polar transmitter based on the design parameters and the measured output signal meet the spectrum mask of 800MHz CDMA.
