We set up a project to make spectrometers for single dish observations of the Korean VLBI Network (KVN), a new future multi-beam receiver of the ASTE (Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment), and the total power (TP) antennas of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Traditionally, spectrometers based on ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated circuit) and FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) have been used in radio astronomy. It is, however, that a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) technology is now viable for spectrometers due to the rapid improvement of its performance. A high-resolution spectrometer should have the following functions: poly-phase filter, data-bit conversion, fast Fourier transform, and complex multiplication. We wrote a program based on CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) for a GPU spectrometer. We measured its performance using two GPU cards, Titan X and K40m, from NVIDIA. A non-optimized GPU code can process a data stream of around 2 GHz bandwidth, which is enough for the KVN spectrometer and promising for the ASTE and ALMA TP spectrometers.

The Korean Solar Radio Burst Locator (KSRBL) is a solar radio spectrograph observing the frequency range between 0.245-18 GHz with the capability of locating the wideband gyrosynchrotron bursts. Its calibration process consists of antenna calibration, flux calibration, and demodulation. Antenna calibration is to determine the position, the width, and the peak value of the beam, flux calibration is to determine the conversion factor between the measured unit to the Solar Flux Unit (SFU), and demodulation is to determine the burst position and remove the modulation pattern. We introduce the current calibration software and some information that potential users may concern.

This paper presents a tunable composite right/left-handed (CRLH) delay line for a delay line discriminator that linearizes modulated frequency sweep in a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar transmitter. The tunable delay line consists of 8 cascaded unit cells with series varactor diodes and shunt inductors. The reverse bias voltage of the varactor diode controlled the group delay through its junction capacitance. The measured results demonstrate a group delay of 8.12 ns and an insertion loss of 4.5 dB at 250 MHz, while a control voltage can be used to adjust the group delay by approximately 15 ns. A group delay per unit cell of approximately 1 ns was obtained, which is very large when compared with previously published results. This group delay can be used effectively in FMCW radar transmitters.

This letter presents two types of metamaterial-inspired absorbers adopting resistive trumpet structures at the X band. The unit cell of the first type is composed of a trumpet-shaped resonator loading a chip resistor, a metallic back plane, and a FR4 (${\varepsilon}_r=4.4-j0.02$) substrate between them (single-layer). The absorption rate is 99.5% at 13.3 GHz. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) is 95 % at 11.2 GHz (from 5.9 to 16.5 GHz). The size of unit cell is $5.6{\times}5.6{\times}2.4mm^3$. The second type has been optimized with a $7{\Omega}$/square uniform resistive coating, removing the chip resistors but leading to results comparable to the first type. The proposed absorbers are almost insensitive to polarizations of incident waves due to symmetric geometry.

LTE (long-term evolution) 를 비롯한 4G 이동통신 기지국 시스템에 있어서 최근에 DU(digital unit)와 RU(radio unit) 로 분리된 형상의 기지국들이 많이 등장하고 있다. 이러한 형태의 기지국에서 DU 는 전화국사에 설치하고 RU 는 옥외에 설치하는 형태로서, DU와 RU 간의 분리 가능한 거리는 이동통신 망 설계를 하는데 있어서 매우 중요한 요소가 된다. 하지만, DU와 RU 간 허용거리는 이동통신의 물리계층 기술에 의해 제약을 받을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 FDD (frequency division duplexing) 기반의 4G 이동통신 시스템에서 Closed-Loop MIMO (multiple input multiple output) 기술에 의해 제한되는 DU와 RU 간 한계거리에 대해 분석하였다. DU와 RU 간 한계거리는 이동통신 시스템의 동작 주파수에 따라 다른 결과를 나타내며, 2 GHz의 동작주파수를 가정할 경우에는 약 11 km의 한계거리를 가지는 것으로 분석되었다.

최근 4세대 이동통신은 기술/경제적인 이유로 클라우드 기지국 (또는 C-RAN: Cloud Radio Access Network) 구조를 택하는 추세이다. C-RAN은 기존 일체형 기지국에서의 MAC/PHY 기능을 담당하는 BBU(Base Band Unit)와 RF신호 송수신 만을 담당하는 RRH(Remote Radio Head)로 분리된 기지국 구조를 가지며, RRH의 무선 송수신 신호는 중앙의 BBU에 집중되어 처리된다. 본고에서는 BBU와 RRH로 분리되어 설치/운용되는 C-RAN의 구조와 기지국 가상화 개념을 소개하며, 향후 이동통신시스템에서의 기술동향과 관련하여 C-RAN에서 발생할 수 있는 이슈들을 살펴본다.

The use of a low-frequency cave radio can also verify survey accuracy. A receiving unit on the surface can pinpoint the depth and location of a transmitter in a cave passage by measurement of the geometry of its radio waves. A survey over the surface from the receiver back to the cave entrance forms an artificial loop with the underground survey, whose loop-closure error can then be determined. In the past, caves were reluctant to redraw complex cave maps after detecting survey errors. Today, computer cartography can automatically redraw cave maps after data has been corrected.

For the RIV characteristics test of power apparatus, an indoor measuring system of radio influence voltage was set up and by means of this measuring unit SIV characteristics on the 7$^{1}$2/" pin-type domestic insulators were examined. According to the test data, RIV values of all the test pieces exceeded the maximum permissible level at 10kV applied voltage. The electrical resistivity of domestic semi-conductive glaze as good as importedone but un-uniformity of coating is turned out to be a main cause of failure.lure.

Scalable video coding (SVC) has been standardized as an extension of the H.264/AVC standard. This paper proposes a practical real-time transport protocol (RTP) packetization scheme to transport SVC video over IP networks. In combined scalability of SVC, a coded picture of a base or scalable enhancement layer is produced as one or more video layers consisting of network abstraction layer (NAL) units. The SVC NAL unit header contains a (DID, TID, QID) field to identify the association of each SVC NAL unit with its scalable enhancement layer without parsing the payload part of the SVC NAL unit. In this paper, we utilize the (DID, TID, QID) information to derive hierarchical spatio-temporal relationship of the SVC NAL units. Based on the derivation using the (DID, TID, QID) field, we propose a practical RTP packetization scheme for generating single RTP sessions in unicast and multicast transport of SVC video. The experimental results indicate that the proposed packetization scheme can be efficiently applied to transport SVC video over IP networks with little induced delay, jitter, and computational load.
