The objective of this study was to evaluate survival rate and fish movement (migration) using a tagging approach of passive integrated transponder (PIT) in Juksan Weir, which was constructed as a four major river restoration projects. For this study, survival rates of each fish species and the mobility of fish individuals were analyzed during 2 weeks by the insertion of PIT tags to various fish species in the laboratory. According to tagging tests in the laboratory, the survival rate 37.5% (30 survivals of 80 individuals) after the insertion of PIT tags. The survival rate of Carassius auratus and Hemibarbus labeo was 100% and 80% after the insertion of the tags, respectively, whereas it was only 13.3% for Zacco platypus. In the field experiments of Juksan Weir, 6 species and 157 individuals from 8 species (563 individuals) were detected in the fixed automatic data-logging system, indicating a detection rate of 27.9% in the fishway of Juksan Weir. In the meantime, some species with no or low detection rates in the fixed automatic data-logging system were turn out to be stagnant-type species, which prefer stagnant or standing water to live.

In recent SATCOM systems, transparent transponders are widely used. The transponder is, however, the most vulnerable part in SATCOM systems against jamming interference. All signals within the transponder bandwidth are frequency-converted and retransmitted with IM(intermodulation) products. In this paper, the method is proposed that makes the SJR(Signal-to-Jammer ratio) better. The bandwidth spreading of the user signal can reduce the jammers effects. The geostationary satellite system is modeled to simulate and to certificate the capability of suppression of jammers by DSSS. If signal is partially-overlapped by jammer and PG(processing gain) is 16.9 [dB] for 2ASK jammer and about 16.8 [dB] for QPSK jammer, when BER is $10^{-3}$.

COMS (Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite) is the multi-purposed Korean geostationary satellite funded by four Korean government ministries, and is to supply communication services, ocean and weather observation for 7 years. As part of COMS, development of Ka band communication payload composed of microwave switching transponder and multi-horn antenna is sponsored by KCC (Korea Communications Commission) and developed by ETRI (Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute). The purpose of Ka Payload development is to acquire space proven technology of Ka payload and to exploit advanced multimedia communication services. This paper aims to study development technology of Ka payload system through whole process of ETRI project. Also application of Ka payload will be dealt in this paper.

Radiofrequency(RF) signal is a key medium to the most of the present wireless communication devices including RF identification devices(RFID) and smart sensors. However, the most critical barrier to overcome in RFID application is in the failure rate in detection. The most notable improvement in the detection was from the introduction of EPC Class1 Gen2 protocol, but the fundamental problems in the physical properties of the RF signal drew less attention. In this work, we focused on the physical properties of the RF signal in order to understand the failure rate by noting the existence of the ground planes and noise sources in the real environment. By using the mathematical computation software, Maple, we simulated the distribution of the electromagnetic field from a dipole antenna when ground planes exist. Calculations showed that the dark area can be formed by interference. We also constructed a test system to measure the failure rate in the detection of a RFID transponder. The test system was composed of a fixed RFID reader and an EPC Class1 Gen2 transponder which was attached to a scanner to sweep in the x-y plane. Labview software was used to control the x-y scanner and to acquire data. Tests in the laboratory environment showed that the dark area can be as much as 43 %. One who wants to use RFID and smart sensors should carefully consider the extent of the dark area.

A RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) system Is a kind of Radio Frequency Communication System and a branch of Automatic Data Collection System. The RFID System is composed of RF Tag(or Transponder) and RFID Reader(controller). This paper deal with Wireless communications that acquired RF Tag ID by RFID reader, and then target system will transmit Tag ID to RFID Server through the internet using Wireless LAN. The RFID system of Todays are commonly used by a wired RFID system. In this system uses commonly used Wireless LAN, and then we can connect the internet if we have a AP(Wireless Lan Access Point). Internet connection can make a transmission of RF Tag ID, and can make a reception of returning data that are images or information.

In this paper, the effects of performance improvement far the OFDM based satellite communications are analyzed with applying the CI(Carrier Interferometry)-OFDM and channel coding scheme considering the group delay and gain ripple characteristic as well as the nonlinear characteristic of the transponder. Comparing the BER between traditional OFDM and CI-OFDM, the degree of performance improvement is presented in AWGN channel environments for specified backoff condition of HPA. The simulations are performed with the 36 MHz bandwidth of transponder channel, 120 Mbps transmission rate, and 16 QAM modulation scheme between ideal and worst case condition. It is shown that the improvement measure by the CI-OFDM and channel coding for the group delay and nonlinear characteristic outperforms that for the gain ripple in terms of performance degradation presented by the individual characteristics. And the simulation results show that the effects of improvement by the CI-OFDM outperforms the effect by the applied channel coding, particularly in worst case condition.

Increased demand for military satellite communications system and due to the depletion of resources of existing satellite communications frequencies, Ka-band and EHF-band satellite communication systems is growing demand for development. As a result, the study of rain attenuation mitigation for Ka/EHF-band frequencies has been achieved. The method to compensate rain attenuation on Ka-band(20/30) using the signal power measurement function in Digital Transponder of Next Military Satellite has been proposed in this paper. This method is more effective than generally used method by Beacon and UPC(uplink power control) in giving the precise rain attenuation measurement and correction.

This paper describe the passive intermodulation products(PIMs) which are formed in high power Ku-band transponder and antenna subsystem on the Communication St Broadcasting Satellite(CBS)program when two transmit carriers beat together to generate harmonics that fall into the receive band. How the PIMs are initially generated and the effect of PIMs for Ku-Band payload system are analyzed by calculating the PIMs frequencies and the power level of PIMs.

The analog front end (AFE) of a radio frequency identification transponder using the ISO 14443 type A standard with a 100% amplitude shift keying (ASK) modulation is proposed in this paper and verified by circuit simulations and measurements. This AFE circuit, using a 13.56 MHz carrier frequency, consists of a rectifier, a modulator, a demodulator, a regulator, a power on reset, and a dynamically enabled digital phase locked loop (DPLL). The DPLL, with a charge pump enable circuit, was used to recover the clock of a 100% modulated ASK signal during the pause period. A high voltage lateral double diffused metal-oxide semiconductor transistor was used to protect the rectifier and the clock recovery circuit from high voltages. The proposed AFE was fabricated using the $0.18\;{\mu}m$ standard CMOS process, with an AFE core size of $350\;{\mu}m\;{\times}\;230\;{\mu}m$. The measurement results show that the DPLL, using a demodulator output signal, generates a constant 1.695 MHz clock during the pause period of the 100% ASK signal.
