The development of efficient wearable antennas is required to implement short range body-centric wireless communication links for various internet of thing applications. We present simulation and measurement results of conductive-fiber-based wearable antennas which can comfortably fabricated directly on usual clothing materials. The proposed antenna is a form of a rectangular patch antenna designed by weaving conductive fibers on a felt substrate. A full-wave electromagnetic simulation tool is used to investigate the antenna performance such as antenna impedance, resonant frequency, and radiation efficiency. Parametric studies show that the radiation efficiency increases from 67.5% to 70.4% by widening the gap between conductive fibers from 0.25mm to 3mm. This implies a wearable antenna with good radiation efficiency can be designed despite of less portion of conductive fibers on the antenna. The simulation results are also verified by measured results with fabricated antennas.

In general, a multipath generator consists of a time delay generator, phase rotator, and amplitude attenuator, and is implemented mostly in an analog manner. Analog, or partially analog versions of a multipath generator is disadvantageous in that they may suffer from problems associated with component aging and adjustment, signal fidelity degradation stemming from repeated A/D and D/A conversion use of high frequency to achieve fine i.e., subsample fractional tin delays. This paper presents the design and implementation methodology of a full digital multipath generator which can be used in performance evaluations of digital terrestrial television as well as communications, receivers. In particular, an efficient practical method is proposed which can achieve both integer and fractional time delays simultaneously, without placing restrictions on the allowable system master clock frequency. The proposed algorithm lends itself to minimizing hardware implementation cost by relegating some fixed put of the computation involved to an IBM PC. The proposed multipath generator occupies only a single digital board space, and its experimental results are provided to corroborate the proposed implementation methodology.

In this paper, we suggested a CPW-fed UWB antenna with uni-planar sectoral structure. The area where radiation device face ground is designed to have the shape of tapered slot based on exponential function. We modified a rectangular bow-tie dipole structure antenna and thus formed a multi-resonant mode. From this, we expanded the impedance bandwidth and made a feature satisfying VSWR of less than 2 between $3.1\sim10.6GHz$. The test result showed that the return loss less than -10 dB was met in the full-band UWB system and maximum gain of $0.9\sim3.1dB$ was made with the half-power beamwidth of $40.1\sim89.9^{\circ}$ on XY plane(Theta, $Phi=90^{\circ}$) and the full band. By using CPW-fed structure with no ground on the back of the substrate, the suggested antenna is easy to design and its miniaturization is also possible.

In this paper, we propose a two-stage fast block matching algorithm using the mean absolute error (MAE) of neighbor search point that can reduce the computational complexity to estimate motion vector while the motion estimation error performance is nearly the same as full search algorithm (FSA) In the proposed method, the lower bound of MAE 6at current search point IS calculated using the MAE of neighbor search point And we reduce the computational complexity by performing the block matching process only at the search point that has to be block matched using the lower bound of MAE The proposed algorithm is composed of two stages The experimental results show that the proposed method drastically reduces the computational complexity while the motion compensated error performance is nearly kept same as that of FSA.

When there are numerous wireless communication systems co-existing in the limited available frequency resource, an unexpected time delay can be caused during the system switching. So, in order to reduce this time delay, a mode selection method is required. In this paper, we propose a mode selection method to minimize the time delay for multi-system wireless communication systems. For the sake of efficiency, the mode selection method is designed by analyzing the preamble characteristics of different standards. Instead of performing a full search, we propose the preamble partial search to reduce the time delay to a minimum. Simulated with Matlab in an additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) environment with a signal to noise ratio(SNR) of 10dB and bit error rate(BER) of $10^{-6}$, we evaluated and showed the performance improvement gained by using our proposed mode selection method.

In this paper, we implemented a high-speed signal processing hardware system for Color Line Scan Camera using FPGA and Nor-Flash. The existing hardware system mainly processed by high-speed DSP based on software and it was a method of detecting defects mainly by RGB individual logic, however we suggested defect detection hardware using RGB-HSL hardware converter, FIFO, HSL Full-Color Defect Decoder and Image Frame Buffer. The defect detection hardware is composed of hardware look-up table in converting RGB to HSL and 4K HSL Full-Color Defect Decoder with high resolution. In addition, we included an image frame for comprehensive image processing based on two dimensional image by line data accumulation instead of local image processing based on line data. As a result, we can apply the implemented system to the grain sorting machine for the sorting of peanuts effectively.

This paper presents a new fast encoding algorithm for image vector quantization that incorporates the partial distances of multiple features with a multidimensional look-up table (LUT). Although the methods which were proposed earlier use the multiple features, they handles the multiple features step by step in terms of searching order and calculating process. On the other hand, the proposed algorithm utilizes these features simultaneously with the LUT. This paper completely describes how to build the LUT with considering the boundary effect for feasible memory cost and how to terminate the current search by utilizing partial distances of the LUT Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. When the codebook size is 256, the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm can be reduced by up to the $70\%$ of the operations required by the recently proposed alternatives such as the ordered Hadamard transform partial distance search (OHTPDS), the modified $L_2-norm$ pyramid ($M-L_2NP$), etc. With feasible preprocessing time and memory cost, the proposed algorithm reduces the computational complexity to below the $2.2\%$ of those required for the exhaustive full search (EFS) algorithm while preserving the same encoding quality as that of the EFS algorithm.

For the efficient recognition of printed Korean characters, a multiplexed minimum average correlation energy(MMACE) filter is proposed. Proposed method solved the disadvantages of the tree structure algorithm which recognition system is very huge and recognition method is sophisticated. Using only one consonant MMACE filter and one vowel one, we recognized the full Korean character. Each MMACE filter is multiplexed by 4 K-tuple MACE filters which are synthesized by 24 consonants and vowels. Hence the proposed MMACE filter and the correlation distribution plane are divided by 4 subregion. We obtained the binary codes for the Korean character recognition from each correlation distribution subplane. And the obtained codes are compared with the truth table for consonants and vowels in computer. We can recognize the full Korean characters when substitute the corresponded consonant or vowel font of the consistent code to the correlation peak place in the output correlation plane. The computer simulation and optical experiment results show that the proposed compact Korean character recognition system using the MMACE filters has high discrimination capability.
