In this paper, we propose various types of AGC algorithms for implementing the OFDM communication systems. For the high-speed packet transmission, in this paper, we assume the OFDM system with relatively long and repeated preambles. We propose the maximum sample value counter for counting the number of maximum sample. In the maximum sample value counter, we use the buffer for the digital signal buffering. Finally, the counting value of the maximum sample value counter controls the gain control signal generator by using gain control table automatically.

Clusters generated by features such as mountains or buildings are considered as the contaminated data that are independent of atmospheric phenomena. The basic way to reduce the clutter signal is to install a clutter fence around the wind profiler. In order to investigate the effect of clutter fence on the wind profiler data, the wind vector collection rate and wind vector accuracy of wind profiler was investigated before and after clutter fence installation. The clutter fence of wind profiler contributed to improve the data quality as well as the data collection rate.

Controller area network (CAN) 네트워크로 대표되는 자동차 내부네트워크와 비교하여 자동차 스마트키 시스템은 상대적으로 소수의 연구가 진행되어오고 있다. 하지만, 현실 세계에서는 스마트키 시스템의 취약점으로 인해 많은 피해사례가 발생하고 있다. 대표적으로, 2010년 NDSS 학회에 소개된 신호 중계 공격 (signal relay attack)은 현재까지도 수많은 자동차 절도 사건들에 악용되고 있다. 이와 같은 문제를 근본적으로 해결하기 위해 초광대역 통신(ultra-wideband communication, UWB)을 사용한 디지털 키 (Digital Key) 기술이 일부 최신 자동차들에 탑재되고 있다. 하지만, 2022년USENIX Security 학회에서 애플, 삼성과 같은 글로벌 기업이 채택한 high rate pulse repetition frequency (HRP) UWB 측위 시스템에 대한 거리 단축 공격 (distance reduction attack)이 가능함이 소개되었다. 이는 디지털 키 시스템 또한 신호중계 공격과 같은 보안 위협에 노출될 수 있다는 점을 시사한다. 본 논문에서는 자동차 스마트키 시스템을 대상으로 수행된 공격 연구 사례들을 살펴본다. 먼저, remote keyless entry (RKE) 시스템 및 passive keyless entry and start (PKES) 시스템으로 대표되는 기존 스마트키 시스템을 대상으로 하는 보안 위협에 대해 살펴본다. 다음으로 차세대 스마트키 시스템으로 주목받고 있는 디지털키 시스템을 구성하는 초광대역 통신기술의 동작 원리 및 이에 대한 보안위협 연구 동향을 살펴본다.

In this paper, we design and implement an Ultra-Wide Band (UWB, 3.1~10.6 GHz) antenna with 5G mobile communication (3.42~3.70 GHz) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN, 5.15~5.825 GHz) bands rejection characteristics. The proposed antenna consists of a planar radiation patch with two slots. The upper slot contributes to reject 5G mobile communication band and the lower slot contributes to reject WLAN band. The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) values of the proposed antenna show good performances in whole UWB band except for rejection bands based on VSWR 2.0. The proposed UWB antenna was simulated using High Frequency Struture Simulator (HFSS) by Ansoft. The simulated antenna showed dual rejection bands of 3.31~3.92 GHz and 5.04~5.90 GHz in UWB band, and measured antenna showed dual rejection bands of 3.35~3.97 GHz and 5.06~5.97 GHz. The largest VSWR values measured at each rejection band are 13.60 at 3.64 GHz and 10.25 at 5.52 GHz. The measured maximum gain is 5.31 dBi at 10.00 GHz. The lowest gains for the measured antenna at rejection bands are -8.73 dBi at 3.70 GHz and -4.36 dBi at 5.56 GHz.

We demonstrate the transmission of uncompressed 4K videos over the photonics-based terahertz (THz) wireless link using a directly modulated distributed feedback laser diode (DFB-LD). For optical heterodyne mixing and data modulation, a DFB-LD was employed and directly modulated with a 5.94-Gb/s non-return-to-zero signal, which is related to a 6G-serial digital interface standard to support ultra-high-definition video resolution. We derived the optimal frequency of the THz carrier by varying the wavelength difference between DFB-LD output and Tunable LD output in the THz signal transmitter to obtain the best transmission performances of the uncompressed 4K video signals. Furthermore, we exploited the negative laser-to-filter detuning for the adiabatic chirp management of the DFB-LD by the intentional discrepancy between the center wavelength of the optical band-pass filter and the output wavelength of the DFB-LD. With the help of the abovementioned methods, we successfully transmitted uncompressed 4K video signals over the 2.3-m wireless transmission distance without black frames induced by time synchronization error.

Food safety has emerged as a growing concern for human health in recent times. Consuming contaminated food may lead to serious health problems, and therefore, a system for monitoring food freshness that is both non-detrimental to the quality of food and highly accurate is required to ensure that only high-quality fresh food packages are provided to the customers. This paper proposes a method to monitor and detect food quality using a compact smart sensor tag. The smart tag is composed of three ultra-low-power sensors, which monitor four major indicators of food freshness: temperature, humidity, and the concentrations of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide gases. An RF energy scavenging circuit is integrated into the smart sensor tag to harvest energy from radio waves at a high frequency of 13.56 MHz to supply sufficient power to the tag. Experimental results show that the proposed energy harvester can efficiently obtain energy at a distance of approximately 40 cm from a 4 W reader. In addition, the proposed smart sensor tag can operate without any battery, thereby eliminating the requirement of frequent battery replacement and consequently decreasing the cost. Meanwhile, the freshness of preserved pork is continuously monitored under two conditions--room temperature and refrigerator temperature--both of which are the most common temperatures under which food is generally stored. The food-monitoring experiments are conducted over a period of one week using the proposed battery-less tag. Based on the experimental results, the food assessment is classified into four categories: fresh, normal, low, and spoiled.

In this article, we evaluated the performance of radiofrequency (RF) coils in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and homogeneity of magnetic resonance images when used for ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). High-quality MRI can be obtained when these two basic requirements are met. However, because of the dielectric effect, 7T magnetic resonance imaging still produces essentially a non-uniform magnetic flux (|B₁|) density distribution. In general, heterogeneous and homogeneous RF coils may be designed using electromagnetic (EM) modeling. Heterogeneous coils, which are surface coils, are used in consideration of scalability in the |B₁| region with a high S/N as multichannel loop coils rather than selecting a single loop. Loop coils are considered state of the art for their simplicity yet effective |B₁|-field distribution and intensity. In addition, combining multiple loop coils allows phase arrays (PA). PA coils have gained great interest for use in receiving signals because of parallel imaging (PI) techniques, such as sensitivity encoding (SENSE) and generalized autocalibrating partial parallel acquisition (GRAPPA), which drastically reduce the acquisition time. With the introduction of a parallel transmit coil (pTx) system, a form of transceiver loop arrays has also been proposed. In this article, we discussed the applications and proposed designs of loop coils. RF homogeneous coils for volume imaging include Alderman-Grant resonators, birdcage coils, saddle coils, traveling wave coils, transmission line arrays, composite right-/left-handed arrays, and fusion coils. In this article, we also discussed the basic operation, design, and applications of these coils.

Cymbal transducers are often used as an array rather than single because they have a high quality factor and low energy conversion efficiency. When used as an array, there occurs a big change in the frequency characteristics of the array due to the interaction between constituent transducers. In this study, we designed the structure of a cymbal transducer array to have ultra-wideband characteristics using this property. First, cymbal transducers with specific center frequencies were designed. Then, a 2×2 planar array was constructed with the designed transducers, where the cymbal transducers were arranged to have same or opposite polarization directions. For this structure, we analyzed the effect of the difference in the center frequency of and the spacing between the constituent transducers on the acoustical characteristics of the array. Based on the analysis, we designed the structure of the cymbal transducer array to have the widest possible bandwidth.
