In this research, the hydrologic effects between a pre-existing urban landuse and low impact development (LID) applied conditions were compared and evaluated. The infiltration trench and tree box filter that were utilized in LID represent only 1% of the catchment area that they drain. Storm event monitoring were conducted from July 2010 to July 2014 on a total of 22 storm events in both LID sites. After LID, hydrological improvement was observed as the sites exhibited a delay (lag time) or reduction in the magnitude, frequency and duration of runoff and flow peaks as the rainfall progress. In addition, the maximum irreducible peak flow reduction for infiltration trench was found to be 61% and 33% for the tree box filter when rainfall was 40 mm and 30 mm, respectively. In designing LID, it is recommended to consider the storage capacity and catchment area, as well as the amount of rainfall and runoff on the site.

In this paper, the Low Noise Amplifier(LNA) is designed and fabricated to include a band pass filter characteristics considering the antenna system characteristics according to the transmitting and receiving signal level of communication satellite transponder. As an example, a 2-stage low noise amplifier and a 4-stage amplifier and designed, fabricated and measured at 14,0~14.5GHz of receiving frequency band. This fabricated LNA has shown the gain with very good flatness within pass-band, and its gain decreases rapidly out of band resulting in supperssion of the transmitting signal power leakage. It has shown the 20.3dB +- 0.1dB of pass-band gain, the 1.44dB +-0.04dB of noise figure and the 14dB rejection out of band(12.25~12.75GHz). The gain flatness, noise figure and group delay of this 2-stage LNA satisfactorily met the simulation results. And the fabricated 4-stage amplifier has shown the more than 42dB of pass-band gain, the +-0.25dB of flatness and the 28dB of the rejection effect for transmitting power leakage. The 2-stage LNA and 4-stage amplifier, in this paper, will bring a design margin for the input filter and also result in the system cost reduction.

The purpose of this study was to develop a rapid and effective method of laser-induced fluorescence analysis for thrace amounts of Sm, Eu and Tb in nuclear fuels. The features of the method are the use of the distinct fluorescence wavelengths and the discriminative lifetimes of the respective elements when excited by a pulsed nitrogen laser. Fluorescence signals of the three elements were isolated by adequate selection of the filters or complexing agents (HFA, TTA) or discriminative delay and gate times in the signal processing circuit. It was found that S $m^{+3}$ and E $u^{+3}$ emitted strong fluorescence in the two complexing agent solutions or HFA and TTA. But in the case or T $b^{+3}$, the fluorescence signal was detected only in HFA solution. With respect to the concentrations of S $m^{+3}$, E $u^{+3}$ and T $b^{+3}$, the fluorescence signal intensities gave superior linearities in the range of 5 ppb-10 ppm for S $m^{+3}$, 0.5 ppb-1 ppm for E $u^{+3}$, and 0.1 ppb-300 ppb for T $b^{+3}$, The detection limits obtained were 5 ppb for S $m^{+3}$, 0.1 ppb for E $u^{+3}$, and 0.01 ppb for T $b^{+3}$, respectively.

This paper analyzes the performance of symbol timing recovery and equalizer in 8VSB digital terrestrial TV receiver under various multipath signals and proposes equalization techniques which improve indoor reception performance. Data segment sync is used for symbol timing recovery and timing offset is measured for echoes of various delays and amplitudes by using symbol timing detection filter whose pattern is +1. +1. -1. and -1. Measured timing offsets were below 10% for long echoes with more than 5 symbol delay and above 30% for short echoes with around 1 symbol delay. Indoor reception is always more challenging than outdoor reception due to lower signal strength. large and short multipaths. and moving interfering objects. So it is considered to use FSE (Fractionally Spaced Equalizer) which is very robust to timing offset and blind equalizer which can update equalizer tap coefficients even by information data. We compare the performance of conventional DFE (Decision Feedback Equalizer) and FSE-DFE using LMS algorithm and Stop and Go algorithm for the indoor reception. Experiments reveals FSE has excellent performance for large timing offset and Stop and Go algorithm shows good performance for Doppler shift. so we propose to use FSE-DFE structure with Stop and Go algorithm for the reliable indoor reception.

This paper presents a new PLL clock generator that can improve a jitter noise characteristics and acquisition process by designing a multi-PFD(Phase Frequency Detector) and an adaptive charge pump circuit. The conventional PLL has not only a jitter noise caused from such a demerit of the wide dead zone and duty cycle, but also a long delay interval that makes a high speed operation unable. An advanced multi-structured PFD circuit using the TSPC(True Single Phase Clocking) circuit is proposed, in which it shows an excellent functionalities in terms of the jitter noises by designing its circuit with the exact dead zone and duty cycle. Our new designed adaptive charge pump in the loop filter of a PLL can improve an acquisition characteristic by adaptively increasing of current. The Hspice simulation is done to evaluate the performance of the proposed circuit. Simulation result shows that our PLL has under 0.01ns in the dead zone, no influence from the duty cycle of input signals and under 50ns in the acquisition time. This circuit will be able to be used in develops of high-performance microprocessors and digital systems.

In the digital system, ROM has a large power-consumption and a speed-bottleneck. According to gradual growth of system speed, ROM is demanded to have low-power consumption and high-speed operation design. The ROM adapted in FFT or FIR filter needs method of sequential accessed addressing. We proposed a reduction method for the number of storage cells in this paper. The number of storage cells which is connected with bi-line is reduced by the proposed method so that the capacitance value of bit-time is reduced. In this case, delay time, and power consumption are reduced. Design result of ROM in this paper using the proposed method could reduce up to 86.3% of storage cell '1' compare with conventional method.

This paper deals with a novel full digital control of the single-phase PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) inviter for UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supp1y). The voltage and current of output filter capacitor as a state variable are the feedback control input. In the proposed scheme a double deadbeat control consisting of minor current control loop and major voltage control loop have been developed In addition, a second order deadbeat currents control which should be exactly equal to its reference in two sampling time without error and overshoot is proposed to remove the influence of the calculation time delay. The load current prediction is achieved to compensate the load disturbance. The simulation and experimental result shows that the proposed system offers an output voltage with THD(Total Harmonic Distortion) less than 5% at a full nonlinear load.

This paper focuses on lossy medical image compression methods for medical images that operate on three-dimensional(3-D) irreversible integer wavelet transform. We offer an application of unbalanced tree structure algorithm to medical images, using a 3-D unbalanced wavelet decomposition and a 3-D unbalanced spatial dependence tree. The wavelet decomposition is accomplished with integer wavelet filters implemented with the lifting method. We have tested our encoder on volumetric medical images using different integer filters and 16 coding unit size. The coding unit sizes of 16 slices save considerable dynamic memory(RAM) and coding delay from full sequence coding units used in previous works. If we allow the formation of trees of different lengths, then we can accomodate more transaxial scales than three. Then the encoder and decoder can then keep track of the length of the tree in which each pixel resides through the sequence of decompositions. Results show that, even with these small coding units, our algorithm with I(5,3)filter performs as well and better in lossy coding than previous coding systems using 3-D integer unbalanced wavelet transforms on volumetric medical images.

We present a novel service discipline, called linear service discipline, to serve multiple QoS queues sharing a resource and analyze its properties. The linear server makes the output traffic and the queueing dynamics of individual queues as a linear function of its input traffic. In particular, if input traffic is Gaussian, the distributions of queue length and output traffic are also Gaussian with their mean and variance being a function of input mean and input power spectrum (equivalently, autocorrelation function of input). Important QoS measures including buffer overflow probability and queueing delay distribution are also expressed as a function of input mean and input power spectrum. This study explores a new direction for network-wide traffic management based on linear system theories by letting us view the queueing process at each node as a linear filter.

In the application requiring the interoperability of different networks such as VoIP and wireless communication system, two speech codecs must work together with the structure of cascaded connection, tandem. Tandem has several problems such as long delay, high complexity and quality degradation due to twice complete encoding/decoding process. Transcoding is one of the best solutions to solve these problems. Transcoding algorithm is varied with the structure of source and target coder. In this paper, transcoding algorithm including the LSP conversion, the pitch estimation and new perceptual weighting filter for reducing complexity and improving qualify is proposed. These algorithms are applied to the pair of AMR md G.723.1. By employing the proposed algorithms in the transcoder, the complexity is reduced by about 20%-58% and quality is improved compared to tandem.
