In this paper, the performance of the various multiple access techniques for the mobile computer network has been studiedi in the consideration of the charactersitics of the mobile cimmunication channel. In the case of the hidden node occurring. It could be seen that the performance of the code division multiple access (CDMA) technique with simultaneous access function is better than that of the other packet access methods such as carrier sendsed multiple access (CDMA), busy tone multiple access (BTMA) and idle signal multiple access (ISMA) in the view of the throughput and mean delay time. Also, it has been shown that the performance of the CDMA method is superior to that of other packet access techniques such as multiple access (CSMA), etc. when the fading effect or impulsive noise exists in the mobile channel, Especially, in the case of the distributed mobile network it has been shown that the receivertransmitter based CDMA method using the characteristics of CDMA effectively has better throughput and less mean delay time than the commontransmitter based CDMA technique.

For multi-carrier communication system, power amplifier generate intermodulation products caused by their nonlinear characteristics. Intermodulation products arised around the carrier frequency cannot be filtered out, operate as noise source for tile adjacent channel and thus degrades the quality of communication. In this paper, the 1850MHz-band RF linear power amplifier has been designed and fabricated with feedforward loop. The error signal loop consists of several key components such as phase shifter and attenuator, subtracter. The proposed Linearizer was tested with two-tone signals separated 10MHz apart at the center frequency of 1850MHz. The experimental results show C/I improvement by 14.5${\~}$20dB over 15dB dynamic range(33${\~}$47.8dBm) which gave IMD of 53.25${\~}$59dBc for the designed LPA.

This study surveyed MP3 player usage and evaluated its effect on hearing thresholds in high school students. It is reported an increase in risk factors for hearing loss in adolescents that paralleled the increase in sales of MP3 players. A total of 538 students in two high schools in Gwangju province participated in this study. The students completed questionnaires about their MP3 player use and their pure tone hearing thresholds were tested at several frequencies. The questionnaire results indicated that 61.1%, of the students listened to music on MP3 players for more than one hour per day, 71.6% listened for four or more days per week, and 36.7% had listened for more than 3 years. Listening at a high volume of 60% of the maximum level was reported by 51% and they recognized having ear pains. The pure tone hearing threshold was found to be raised for the adolescents who had a long history of MP3 listening at high volume (p< 0.0001).

In this paper, we present the design of a 20MHz bandwidth 3rd-order continuous-time low-pass sigma-delta modulator with low-noise and low-power consumption. The bandwidth of the system is sufficient to accommodate LTE and other wireless network standards. The 3rd-order low-pass filter with feed-forward architecture achieves the low-power consumption as well as the low complexity. The system uses 3bit flash quantizer to provide fast data conversion. The current-steering DAC achieves low-power and improved sensitivity without additional circuitries. Cross-coupled transistors are adopted to reduce the current glitches. The proposed system achieves a peak SNDR of 65.9dB with 20MHz bandwidth and power consumption of 32.65mW. The in-band IM3 is simulated to be 69dBc with 600mVp-p two tone input tones. The circuit is designed in a 0.18-um CMOS technology and is driven by 500MHz sampling rate signal.

In this paper, we propose an audio watermarking method using the attribute of tonal masker. First, the attribute of tonal masker as an audio watermarking attribute is analyzed. According to existing researches, it is possible to be imperceptible modulation for the energies of the frequencies that compose a tonal masker. And when the relation between the tone energy and the left or right frequency energy after various signal processing is compared with the one before the processing, very few changes are showed. We propose an audio watermarking method using these attributes of tonal masker. A watermark bit is embedded by the modulation of the difference between the two neighboring frequency energies of a tone. In the detection, the modulated the tonal masker is searched using the key wed in the embedding without original audio and the embedded watermark bit is detected. After each attack of noise insertion, band-pass filtering, re-sampling, compression, echo transform and equalization, the detection error ratios of the proposed method were average 0.11%, 1.26% for Classics and Pops. And the SDG(Subjective Diff-Grades) scale evaluation of the sound quality of the watermarked audio result in the average SDG -0.31.

After a single-stage, second-order, multiple-feedback ${\Delta}-{\Sigma}$ modulator and a two-stage, second-order MASH ${\Delta}-{\Sigma}$ modulator were analyzed and simulated using Simulink and Matlab and their characteristics were compared, the following result was obtained: 1) The two ${\Delta}-{\Sigma}$ modulators do not have group delay distortion. 2) The characteristics of the noise shaping are nearly identical. As a result of the noise shaping, the power spectral densities have slope of 40 dB/dec. 3) There was no spurious tone. 4) The input range of the two modulators is from -1 to +1 in common. 5) Because the output of the two-stage MASH modulator is 2-bits (4-levels), design of frequency dividers and charge pumps of PLL are more demanding.

In this paper, we propose a new method dispersing spatially C(Cyan), M(Magenta), Y(Yellow) instead of K(black) in the bright region. The overlapping of black dots decreases brightness in the dark region, and black dots are very sensitive to human visual system in the bright region. Therefore, to avoid this problem, bright and dark gray region in the color image is considered in the proposed approach. A new method which uses CMY simultaneously in single mask is proposed, and CMY dots are used dispersing spatially for the bright region instead of black dot by this method. And tone curve connection is used to consider the gray level of dark region. In previous method, BNM (Blue Noise Mask) has high granularity and a narrow dynamic range. But the proposed method has the low granularity, wide dynamic range, and high contrast properties. Because the proposed method uses three times dots spatially in the different position than a conventional BNM, it can express more spatial information and a similar gray level compared with BNM.

Usually equal noise exposure is considered to cause symmetrical hearing loss, but some screening audiometries of employees who were exposed to noise showed asymmetry. Therefore, this study was carried out to evaluate the distribution of asymmetrical hearing loss and the difference of air conduction level between left and right ear at the different frequencies (500, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 6,000 Hz). Study subjects were 326 male employees who had participated in the noise-specific health examination from May to October, 2002. They were evaluated by otoscopic examination, pure tone audiometry and tympanometry. In all frequencies, hearing threshold level of left ear was worse than right ear. The mean interaural threshold differences between two ears were 0.83 dB at 500 Hz, 1.18 dB at 2,000 Hz, 2.29 dB at 3,000 Hz, 2.18 dB at 4,000 Hz, and statistically significant (p<0.05). The hearing loss of left ear was greater than right ear in occupationally noise-exposed workers. It is believed that left ear was more susceptible to noise damage than right ear
