Cognitive radio has been proposed to mitigate the spectrum scarcity problem by allowing the secondary users to access the under-utilized frequency bands and opportunistically transmit. Spectrum sensing, as a key technology in cognitive radio, is required to reliably detect the presence of primary users to avoid the harmful interference. However, it would be very hard to reliably detect the presence of primary users due to the channel fading, shadowing. In this paper, we proposed a distributed cooperative spectrum sensing scheme based on conventional DF (decode-and-forward) cooperative diversity protocol. We fist consider the cooperation between two secondary users to illustrate that cooperation among secondary users can obviously increase the detection performance. We then compare the performance of DF based scheme with another conventional AF (amplify-and-forward) protocol based scheme. And it is found that the proposed scheme based on DF has a better detection performance than the one based on AF. After that, we extend the number of cooperative secondary users, and demonstrate that increasing the cooperation number can significantly improve the detection performance.

Two step RTD(Rapid Thermal Diffussion) of P into silicon wafer using tungsten halogen lamp was used to fabricated very shallow n$^{+}$p junction. 1st RTD was performed in the temperature range of 800.deg. C for 60 see and the heating rate was in the 50.deg. C/sec. Phosphrous solid source was transfered on the silicon surface. 2nd RTD process was performed in the temperature range 1050.deg. C, 10sec. Using 2 step RTD we can obtain a shallow junction 0.13.mu.m in depth. After RTD, the Ti-silicide process was performed by the two step RTA(Rapid Thermal Annealing) to reduced the electric resistance and to improve the n$^{+}$p junction diode. The titanium thickness was 300.angs.. The condition of lst RTA process was 600.deg. C of 30sec and that of 2nd RTA process was varied in the range 700.deg. C, 750.deg. C, 800.deg. C for 10sec-60sec. After 2 step RTA, sheet resistance was 46.ohm../[]. Ti-silicide n+p junction diode was fabricated and I-V characteristics were measured.red.

In this paper, we studied the shadow effect which is one of environmental cause for hot-spot phenomenon on PV by considering electrical effects. We fabricated PV module in case of existence and nonexistence of bypass diode. And maximum output power and thermal distribution was analyzed by shadowing solar cell by increase of 5%. From the results, the PV module's(without bypass diode) maximum output power was reduced by hot-spot gradually. But the PV module's(with bypass diode) maximum output power had no reduction by operation of bypass diode, though solar cell is shadowed more than 60%. The solar cell temperature of PV module(without bypass diode) was $10^{\circ}C$ higher compared to module's one. This is a reason for shortening of durability of PV module.

In this paper, we propose a novel routing protocol called the Cartography Enhanced OLSR (CE-OLSR) for multi hop mobile ad hoc networks (multi hop MANETs). CE-OLSR is based on an efficient cartography gathering scheme and a stability routing approach. The cartography gathering scheme is non intrusive and uses the exact OLSR reduced signaling traffic, but in a more elegant and efficient way to improve responsiveness to the network dynamics. This cartography is a much richer and accurate view than the mere network topology gathered and used by OLSR. The stability routing approach uses a reduced view of the collected cartography that only includes links not exceeding a certain distance threshold and do not cross obstacles. In urban environments, IEEE 802.11 radio signals undergo severe radio shadowing and fading effects and may be completely obstructed by obstacles such as buildings. Extensive simulations are conducted to study the performances of CE-OLSR and compare them with those of OLSR. We show that CE-OLSR greatly outperforms OLSR in delivering a high percentage of route validity, a much higher throughput and a much lower average delay. In particular the extremely low average delay exacerbated by CE-OLSR makes it a viable candidate for the transport of real time data traffic in multi hop MANETs.

군 병력의 효율적 운용을 위한 정보공유의 수단으로서 높은 망 유연성을 제공할 수 있는 드론형 기지국이 최적의 플랫폼이 될 것으로 예상된다. 또한 넓은 대역폭을 활용 가능한 밀리미터파 주파수대역은 대용량 데이터를 송수신하는데 적합하지만 shadowing에 취약한 특성을 가지게 되는데, 자유롭게 고도를 조절할 수 있는 드론형 기지국의 특성을 활용하면 LoS를 안정적으로 확보하여 취약점을 상쇄할 것으로 기대된다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 요소가 반영된 드론형 기지국의 성능분석을 위한 모델링을 수행함으로써, 차후 군 통신망으로써 활용가능성이 기대되는 드론형 기지국의 성능평가에 대한 틀을 제공하고자 한다.

Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are the most compact and reliable method of suppressing atmospheric emission lines in the infrared for ground-based telescopes. It has been proved that real FBGs based filters were able to eliminate 63 bright sky lines with minimal interline losses in 2011 (GNOSIS). Inscribing FBGs on multi-core fibers offers advantages. Compared to arrays of individual SMFs, the multi-core fiber Bragg grating (MCFBG) is greatly reduced in size, resistant to damage, simple to fabricate, and easy to taper into a photonics lantern (PRAXIS). Multi-mode fibers should be used and the number of modes has to be large enough to capture a sufficient amount of light from the telescope. However, the fiber Bragg gratings can only be inscribed in the single-mode fiber. A photonic lantern bi-directionally converts multi-mode to single-mode. The number of cores in MCFBGs corresponds to the mode. For a writing system consisting of a single ultra-violet (UV) laser and phase mask, the standard writing method is insufficient to produce uniform MCFBGs due to the spatial variations of the field at each core within the fiber. Most significant technical challenges are consequences of the side-on illumination of the fiber. Firstly, the fiber cladding acts as a cylindrical lens, narrowing the incident beam as it passes through the air-cladding interface. Consequently, cores receive reduced or zero illumination, while the focusing induces variations in the power at those that are exposed. The second effect is the shadowing of the furthest cores by the cores nearest to the light source. Due to a higher refractive index of cores than the cladding, diffraction occurs at each core-cladding interface as well as cores absorb the light. As a result, any core that is located directly behind another in the beam path is underexposed or exposed to a distorted interference pattern from what phase mask originally generates. Technologies are discussed to overcome the problems and recent experimental results are presented as well as simulation results.

릴레이는 차세대 이동통신 시스템에서 기지국의 서비스 커버리지 영역을 확대하고 음영지역을 해소하기 위해 반드시 필요한 기술이다. 하지만, 기존의 릴레이 관련 연구는 주로 반이중 모드, 즉 서로 다른 시간 혹은 주파수에서 송수신을 수행하도록 제한하고 있다. 반이중 릴레이는 구현이 쉬운 반면 릴레이 송수신 지원 구분이 필요하기 때문에 전체 시스템 용량이 줄어드는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중 안테나를 갖는 전이중 릴레이의 다중 사용자 precoding 및 sum rate 정합 기반의 전력 할당 방식을 제안한다. 전이중 릴레이는 같은 주파수에서 동시에 송수신을 수행하기 때문에 릴레이의 송수신 안테나 사이에 발생하는 자기 간섭 문제를 해결해야 한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 precoding 기법을 통해 다중 사용자 MIMO 전송이 가능하면서 동시에 전이중 릴레이의 자기 간섭을 제거할 수 있다. 또한, 릴레이가 기지국으로부터 수신하는 정보량과 단말국으로 전달하는 정보량이 동일하도록 하는 조건 하에서 전체 시스템 용량을 최대화하는 전력 할당 기법을 제안한다.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the correlation of ultrasound features with breast cancer molecular status. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review was performed of ultrasound findings in 263 patients diagnosed with breast invasive ductal carcinoma for comparison with immunohistochemistric results were obtained from each lesion. Relationships between ultrasound findings and molecular status were investigated by using multiple regression analysis by means of stepwise logistic regression. Differences in ultrasound criteria were assessed among women with different molecular status. Results: ER positivity was associated with small size, lobulate, angular or spiculated margin contours, absence of calcification, posterior tumor shadowing and low elasticity score; PR positivity was associated with small size, lobulate or angular or spiculated margin contours and absence of calcification; HER2 positivity was associated with presence of calcification and absence of any echogenic halo. The calculated models of predicted molecular status were accurate and discriminating with AUCs of 0.78, 0.74, and 0.74, respectively. Conclusions: Breast cnacer ultrasound features show some correlation with the molecular status. These models may help to expand the scope of ultrasound in predicting tumor biology.

본 논문에서는 4.4GHz 대역에서 항공기내 무선 통신을 위한 채널 링크 버짓을 분석하였다. 항공기내의 채널을 일반적인 경로 손실, 장애물로 인한 음영효과, 그리고 다중 경로 신호로 인한 페이딩의 조합으로 모델링하였다. 그리고, 항공기내에 존재할 수 있는 송수신기의 다양한 위치에 따라서 채널을 A~F의 6개 그룹으로 분류하고, 6개의 채널 그룹별로 최대 전송 가능 거리와 전송 오류 확률 측면에서 링크 버짓을 분석하였다. 다양한 분석과 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과에 따르면, A, B, F 채널 그룹이 C, D, E 그룹 대비 우수한 전파 특성을 가지며, 그룹 E의 전파 특성이 가장 열악한 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과들은 항공기내 또는 이와 유사한 환경에서의 채널 분석을 위한 기초자료로 활용 가능하다.
