Based on the Zigbee-based wireless sensor network, I suggest the way to reduce errors between the short distance, improving the accuracy of the presumed distance by revising the deviation of RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indication) values is to estimate the distance using only the RF signal power without the additional hardware. In general, the graph measured by RSSI values shows the proximity values which are ideally reduced in proportion to the distance under the free outdoor space in which LOS(Line-Of-Sight) is guaranteed. However, if the result of the received RSSI values are each substituted to the formula, it can produce a larger margin of error and less accurate measurement since it is based upon the premise that this free space is not affected by reflected waves or obstacles caused by the ground and electronic jamming engendered by the environment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to reduce the margin of errors between the distances and to measure the proximity values with the ideal type of graph by suggesting the way to revise the received RSSI values in the light of these reflected waves or obstacles and the electronic jamming. In conclusion, this study proves that errors are reduced by comparing the proposed deviation correction method to the revised RSSI value.

This paper described development of the portable ground control system(PGCS) for unmanned aerial vehicle. In the design of GCS, it upload mission planning that aircraft has to perform and has to receive position, attitude, state, navigation information all about the aircraft. Aircraft states and trajectory are displayed using this system on line. The PGCS is composed of commercial notebook computer, RF modem for communication between aircraft and PGCS, input/output board, remote control receiver, switches and lamps. Performance of this system is verified by flight test of small unmanned aerial vehicle.

Wireless sensor network technology is an emerging technology consisting of small, low power, and low cost devices that integrate limited computation, sensing, and radio communication capabilities. An ad-hoc home network system based embedded system for home environment monitoring was fabricated and tested. The wireless sensor node consists of a MCU, RF transceiver and sensors (temperature, humidity and light). Wireless sensor nodes run application software for data sampling and wireless communication, that was developed using 'nesC language' which runs on TinyOS. In our tests, acquired sensors data were monitored on 6.4" TFT-LCD of base-station through IEEE802.15.4 standard wireless communication. Also, the sensor data can be monitored by client user at the terminal PC to monitor environmental status of home in real time.

CDMA is the way that more than one users can share the time and frequency at the same time and connect with multiple access in mobile communication. Multiple Access is indispensible for mobile communication because the limited frequency is able to be used by many users in mobile communication. CDMA is also applied to home network, military, business and medical sectors. This paper, presents a users should share limited frequency resource. CDMA module implemented with 8-layer PCB which consists of the Slice-board circuit, keeping Radio frequency characteristics and a slot type connector.

In this paper, four different types of BSTO tunable bandpass filters with ferroelectrics are proposed. The achievement of the tunability is based on the fact that the increase in the bias voltage leads to the reduction of the effective dielectric constant. Therefore, the center frequency shifts to the higher value with the higher bias voltage. The most frequently used and well-known ferroelectrics are STO and BSTO materials where the STO is mainly used below 100K while the BSTO is used at room temperature. The proposed technology seems very useful and promising for the development of the next-generation wireless communications.

무선 모바일 통신 시장의 성장에 따라 수동 소자로 구성된 모듈에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 수동소자를 이용한 Wi-MAX용 트리플렉서를 설계하였다. 트리플렉서는 Wi-MAX의 RF Front-end단 앞부분에 연결되며, IEEE 802.16에 따른 2GHz, 3GHz, 5GHz 대역을 선택, 분리해주는 역할을 한다. 제안된 트리플렉서는 저역통과필터, 대역통과필터, 고역통과필터로 구성하였으며, 수동소자의 최소화로 인해 삽입손실 향상을 중점으로 설계하였다. 회로해석 결과, 각 대역별 (2/3/5GHz) 삽입손실은 각각 -0.5dB, -0.6dB, -0.4dB 였으며, 반사손실은 -20dB, -20dB, -12dB, 격리도는 -20dB, -24dB, -25dB의 특성을 보였다. 수동 소자의 최소화 설계로 인해 모듈 및 시스템의 저가화를 기대할 수 있다.

We presented a channel model for the inter vehicle radio link including the reflection from the road surface, side road vehicle and concrete wall. Then we theoretically derived the path loss and delay profile characteristics using the Ray tracing method efficiently analyzing millimeter wave or optic wave. Finally, we shown the improvement of propagation characteristics by diversity techniques, BCH coding and convolution coding techniques. At the result, MRC diversity techniques and BCH coding can't obtained PER = $10^{-6}$ which is considered to be data service criterion. But, we knew that Packet Error Rate Characteristic can obtained PER = $10^{-6}$, which is considered to be data service criterion, when convolution coding scheme are adopted in Rician fading.

Location information will become increasingly important for future Pervasive Computing applications. Location tracking system of a moving device can be classified into two types of architectures: an active mobile architecture and a passive mobile architecture. In the former, a mobile device actively transmits signals for estimating distances to listeners. In the latter, a mobile device listens signals from beacons passively. Although the passive architecture such as Cricket location system is inexpensive, easy to set up, and safe, it is less precise than the active one. In this paper, we present a passive location system using Cricket Mote sensors which use RF and ultrasonic signals to estimate distances. In order to improve accuracy of the passive system, the transmission speed of ultrasound was compensated according to air temperature at the moment. Upper and lower bounds of a distance estimation were set up through measuring minimum and maximum distances that ultrasonic signal can reach to. Distance estimations beyond the upper and the lower bounds were filtered off as errors in our scheme. With collecting distance estimation data at various locations and comparing each distance estimation with real distance respectively, we proposed an equation to compensate the deviation at each point. Equations for proposed algorithm were derived to calculate relative coordinates of a moving device. At indoor and outdoor tests, average location error and average location tracking period were 3.5 cm and 0.5 second, respectively, which outperformed Cricket location system of MIT.

The second telemetry is designed for supplying additional function which the first telemetry system doesn't have and as a part system of the External Management System (EMS). It makes a patient and an animal move more freely with wireless communication at a distance of free activity from the PC and can get most data from the first telemetry to send to the PC. Recently, our laboratory is developing a RF system for the second telemetry.

This paper aims at analyzing the traffic of CDMA base station. RTD(Round Trip Delay) method, used for the study, is one of the developed tool for calculating the call setup time between the BTS(Base Station TransceiverSubsystem) and mobile station.We compare the calculated call setup time in air with the field experiments.And we suggest the RTD method for dividing the traffic of the connected repeater from that of the BTS, andwe can testify it by the experiment which analyze the difference of the received time between the base stationand the repeater including the forced delay elements.
