A real-time, Indoor navigation systems utilize ultra-wide band (UWB), radio-frequency identification (RFID) and received signal strength (RSS) techniques that encompass WiFi, FM, mobile communications, and other similar technologies. These systems typically require surplus infrastructure for their implementation, which results in significantly increased costs and complexity. Therefore, as a solution to reduce the level of cost and complexity, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and quick response (QR) codes are utilized in this paper to facilitate navigation with the assistance of a smartphone. The QR code helps to compensate for errors caused by the pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) algorithm, thereby providing more accurate localization. The proposed algorithm having IMU in conjunction with QR code shows an accuracy of 0.64 m which is higher than existing indoor navigation techniques.

무선 사운드 스피커는 서로 다른 위치에 배치되어 송신기와의 채널 환경이 서로 다르게 되어 송신기와의 거리가 상대적으로 먼 후방 스피커의 경우 사람이나 구조물에 의해 채널 환경이 열악하게 되어 전방 스피커에 비해 데이터 오류 발생 확률이 높다. 본 논문은 Multi-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) 기반의 무선 오디오 전송 시스템에서 무선 채널 환경이 우수한 스피커에서 무선 채널 환경이 열악한 스피커로 데이터를 전달하는 스피커 릴레이 기법을 사용할 때, packet error ratio (PER) 성능을 향상시키며 전송 시간을 감소시킬 수 있는 효율적인 스피커 릴레이 기법을 제안한다.

In this paper, an ultra-wideband internal antenna for use in mobile applications is proposed. The proposed antenna has symmetrical bi-arm structures printed on the top and bottom of the substrate, and it occupies a compact area of 10 mm ${\times}$ 10 mm ${\times}$ 1 mm. The designed antenna has an impedance bandwidth from 3 GHz to 12 GHz and near omnidirectional radiation patterns over the frequency band of interest. The group delay between two antennas fabricated using the proposed design is less than 0.8 ns, and the maximum gain variation is about 3.16 dB.

In this papaer, a new type of ${\lambda}_g/4$ short stub band pass filter and ${\lambda}_g/2$ open stub band pass filter are purposed. Both are designed using FSCS technique for harmonic suppression. The proposed filters that used FSCS technique and a broadband stop filter is integrated to band pass filter to suppress the harmonics. The BSF are also placed between stubs so that the size is larger than prevent as compared to conventional one. The propose filters have center frequency of 5.8 GHz, bandwidth of 50% and harmonics suppressin is 120% has in bandwith. The measurement results in the case of ${\lambda}_g/4$ short stub filter, insertion loss of 0.5 dB, return loss of 14 dB are achieved and in the case of ${\lambda}_g/2$ open stub filter, loss of 0.8 dB, return loss of 14.4 dB are achieved. The simulation results and the measurement results are almost the same.

Precoding in the multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system is investigated. In conventional wideband precoding (WBP), only one precoder, obtained from the decomposition of the subcarrier independent channel matrix, is used for all subcarriers. With an investigation of the relationship between the subcarrier independent channel matrix and the temporal/frequency channels, an improved WBP scheme is proposed for practical scenarios in which a part of subcarriers are allocated to a user. The improved WBP scheme is a generalized scheme of which narrow-band precoding and conventional WBP schemes are special modes. Simulation results demonstrate that the improved WBP scheme almost achieves the optimum performance of a single precoder and outperforms the conventional WBP scheme in terms of the bit error ratio and ergodic capacity with slight complexity increase. The largest advantage of the improved WBP scheme on signal-to-noise ratio in simulation results is over 2.1 dB.

This paper summarizes the data of a monopole antenna with a sleeve structure that can be applied in various ways. Sleeve monopole antennas have broadband characteristics and are used for multi-frequency applications. The sleeve monopole antenna is composed of a vertical conductor, which is a radiator, and a sleeve having the same structure as a coaxial cable. The sleeve acts as a radiator and an open stub. The length of the sleeve should be 1/3~2/3 of the total length of the antenna. A monopole antenna having a sleeve structure is applicable to a vehicle wiper antenna. In addition, the case of applying this antenna to a broadband sleeve antenna using a loading coil, a broadband printed sleeve monopole antenna for an ISM band, a gap sleeve and a double sleeve, and a UWB planar monopole antenna using half cutting was summarized and analyzed in terms of structure and broadband.

This paper presents analysis results of the effects of RF filter characteristics on the system performance of impulse radio. The impulse radio system transmits modulated pulses having very short time duration and information can be extracted in receiver side based on cross-correlation between received and transmitted pulses. Accordingly, the pulse distortion due to in-band group delay variation can cause serious system performance degradation. In general, RF bandpass filters inevitably cause group delay difference to the signal passing through the filter which is proportional to its skirt characteristic due to its resonance phenomenon. For time as well as frequency domain analysis, small signal scattering parameter $S_{21}$ and its Fourier transform are used to characterize output pulse waveform under the condition that the input and output ports are matched. The output pulse waveform of the filter is predicted based on convolution integral between input pulse and filter transfer function, and resulting BER performances in the BPM and PPM based impulse radio system are calculated.
