This paper proposes an efficient coarse frequency synchronizer for digital video broadcasting - second generation (DVB-S2). The input signal requirement of acquisition range for coarse frequency estimator in the DVB-S2 is around ${\pm}1.5625Mhz$, which corresponds to 6.25% of the symbol rate at 25Mbaud. At the process of analyzing the robust algorithm among data-aided approaches, we find that the Luise & Reggiannini (L&R) algorithm is the most promising one for coarse frequency estimation with respect to estimation performance and complexity. However, it requires many multipliers and adders to compute output values of correlators. We propose an efficient architecture identifying the serial correlator with the buffer and multiplexers. The proposed coarse frequency synchronizer can reduce the hardware complexity about 92% of the direct implementation. The proposed architecture has been implemented and verified on the Xilinx Virtex II FPGA.

In [9], Tyrtshnikov proposed a preconditioned approach to derive a general solution from a Toeplitz linear system. Furthermore, the process of selecting a preconditioner matrix from symmetric Toeplitz matrix, which has been used in previous studies, is introduced. This research introduces a new method for finding the preconditioner in a Toeplitz system. Also, through analyzing these preconditioners, it is derived that eigenvalues of a symmetric Toeplitz are very close to eigenvalues of a new preconditioner for T. It is shown that if the spectrum of the preconditioned system $C_0^{-1}T$ is clustered around 1, then the convergence rate of the preconditioned system is superlinear. From these results, it is determined to get the superliner at the convergence rate by our good preconditioner $C_0$. Moreover, an advantage is driven by increasing various applications i. e. image processing, signal processing, etc. in this study from the proposed preconditioners for Toeplitz matrices. Another characteristic, which this research holds, is that the preconditioner retains the properties of the Toeplitz matrix.

In this paper, we propose an error correction method to improve the accuracy of human activity recognition using sensor event data obtained by smart devices such as wearable and smartphone. In the context awareness through the smart device, errors inevitably occur in sensing the necessary context information due to the characteristics of the device, which degrades the prediction performance. In order to solve this problem, we apply Kalman filter's error correction algorithm to compensate the signal values obtained from 3-axis acceleration sensor of smart device. As a result, it was possible to effectively eliminate the error generated in the process of the data which is detected and reported by the 3-axis acceleration sensor constituting the time series data through the Kalman filter. It is expected that this research will improve the performance of the real-time context-aware system to be developed in the future.

It is important to use bench test results in the design process of anti-rolling tanks. Traditional bench tester is usually designed to perform only roll motions about a fixed axis and relatively small so that the viscous effects may not be neglected. Novel bench tester which could adjust the motion center to realize the coupled motion of sway and roll has been devised and manufactured therefore, large scaled bench tester could be utilized for designing the passive anti-rolling tanks. The time history of the reference signal from the rotation sensor of the bench tester have been recorded and processed to determine the phase angle to derive the Response Amplitude Operator(RAO) of the stabilized ship. The breadth of ART tank model should be large up to 2 m to diminish viscous scale effect and the vertical position of the tank can be varied with the ship's center of motion. The periods and the amplitude of roll motion can be varied from 1.5 sec to 5 sec and up to ±20°, respectively. The components of the tester was expressed in three dimensional digital mockup (DMU) and assembled together in the CAD space. The final configuration of the bench tester has been determined by confirming the smooth operation of the moving parts without interference through the animation in CAD space. New analytic logic are introduced for the determination of hydrodynamic moment and phase difference due to fluid motion in ART and verified through the test. The developed bench tester is believed to be effective and accurate for the verification of stabilization effect of ART taking into the consideration of the sway effect in the design stage.

In this paper, we propose a high-speed synchronization method for Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) receivers. In order to satisfy the high-speed synchronization requirement of DRM receivers, the proposed method eliminate the initial sampling frequency synchronization process in conventional synchronization methods. In the proposed method, sampling frequency tracking is performed after integer frequency synchronization and frame synchronization. Different correlation algorithms are applied to detect the first frame of the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) demodulation symbol with sampling frequency offset (SFO). A frame detection algorithm that is robust to SFO is selected based on the performance analysis and simulation. Simulation results show that the proposed method reduces the time spent for initial sampling frequency synchronization even if SFO is present in the DRM signal. In addition, it is verify that inter-cell differential correlation used between reference cells is roubst to the effect of initial SFO.

The FPGA is used to the high speed digital satellite communication on the Digital Signal Process Unit of the next generation GEO communication satellite. The high capacity FPGA has the high power dissipation and it is difficult to satisfy the derating requirement of temperature. This matter is the major factor to degrade the equipment life and reliability. The thermal control at the equipment level has been worked through thermal conduction in the space environment. The FPGA of CCGA or BGA package type was mounted on printed circuit board, but the PCB has low efficient to the thermal control. For the FPGA heat dissipation, the heat sink was applied between part lid and housing of equipment and the performance of heat sink was confirmed via thermal vacuum test under the condition of space qualification level. The FPGA of high power dissipation has been difficult to apply for space application, but FPGA with heat sink could be used to space application with the derating temperature margin.

This paper presents a novel mobile measurement system with multi antennas which enable mobile measurement as well as fixed measurement with telescope mast. Proposed system installed 4 omni directional antennas for the space diversity process and one directional log periodic antenna for the simultaneous conventional fixed measurement. Whole antenna systems are connected to the custom DTV channel analyzers with Ethernet networks respectively and processed by the main controller to calculate real time average receive levels. To prove the performance of proposed system, the typical receive models are categorized as 3 area types - open area, building area and house area, and then intensive field tests were performed through mobile and fixed measurement phases. With these measurement data, the relationships between mobile and fixed measurement are analyzed, and the concept of compensation factor is proposed to assume the average receive level of signal. The field test is fulfilled as a co-work with public broadcasters and the proposed system is applied to the intensive coverage measurement projects for metropolitan areas by the korean government agencies.

In this paper, we propose a system which easily controls the existing serially connected multi-channel speakers in a general personal computer by using a USB(Universal Serial Bus) interface. The personal computer as a host of the USB interface analyzes a sound source and sends audio data in a real-time fashion by the use of the isochronous transmission, one of four transmission methods provided by the USB interface. In addition, a channel is assigned by means of the bulk transmission, one of four transmission methods provided by the USB interface. Transmitted data from the USB host are sent to each speaker through compression and packet generation process. Each speaker detects corresponding digital data and regenerates audio signals through DAC(Digital-to-Analog Converter). A user can easily select a sound source file and a channel by the use of a GUI environment in a personal computer.

The battery's State of Health (SOH) is a critical parameter in the process of battery use, as it represents the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of the battery. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is a widely used technique in observing the state of the battery. The measured impedance at certain frequencies can be used to evaluate the state of the battery, as it is intimately tied to the underlying chemical reactions. In this work, a low-cost portable EIS instrument is developed on the basis of the ARM Cortex-M4 Microcontroller Unit (MCU) for measuring the impedance spectrum of Li-ion battery packs. The MCU uses a built-in DAC module to generate the sinusoidal sweep perturbation signal. Moreover, it performs the dual-channel acquisition of voltage and current signals, calculates impedance using a Digital Lock-in Amplifier (DLA), and transmits the result to a PC. By using LabVIEW, an interface was developed with the real-time display of the EIS information. The developed instrument was suitable for measuring the impedance spectrum of the battery pack up to 1000 V. The measurement frequency range of the instrument was from 1 hz to 1 Khz. Then, to prove the performance of the developed system, the impedance of a Samsung SM3 battery pack and a Bexel pouch module were measured and compared with those obtained by the commercial instrument.
