강성진,Kang, Sung-Jin 한국정보통신학회 2008 한국정보통신학회논문지 Vol.12 No.12

본 논문에서는 MB-OFDM(Multiband-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템에서 사용되는 RS(23,17) 부호에 대한 복호기의 최적 구조를 제안하고, 설계하였다. 제안된 복호기 구조는 파이프 라인 구조를 갖는 수정된 유클리드(Modified Euclidean) 알고리즘을 사용하며, MB-OFDM 시스템에 최적화되어 작은 복호 지연(latency) 및 하드웨어 복잡도를 가진다. 제안된 복호기는 Verilog HDL을 사용하여 구현되었고, 삼성 65nm library를 이용하여 합성하였다. 350MHz로 합성했을 때 timing violation이 발생하지 않았기 때문에, 실제 ASIC을 제작해도 250MHz까지 동작하며, gate count는 20,710로 나타났다.

본 논문에서는 EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) 단말의 성능을 측정하기 위한 측정 알고리즘을 소프트웨어로 구현하고 EDGE 신호 발생기를 통해 발생된 신호를 이용해 구현된 소프트웨어 측정 알고리즘의 성능을 평가해본다. 일반적으로 통신신호 측정기는 매우 정밀한 정확도를 필요로 하므로 정확도가 충분히 높지 않은 일반 통신모뎀 수준의 수신 알고리즘을 직접적으로 측정기에 적용할 수는 없다. 본 논문에서는 EDGE 신호의 정밀한 측정을 위한 새로운 EDGE 신호의 수신 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 EDGE 수신 알고리즘에는 2단계(개략적 단계, 미세 단계)의 파라미터(심볼타이밍, 주파수오프셋, 반송파위상) 추정방식을 사용하였다. 또한 수신신호의 보간을 이용하여 수신 신호 샘플의 개수를 증가시킴으로서 측정의 정확도를 향상시켰다. 본 논문에서 제안된 EDGE 신호 측정방식은 하드웨어를 구현하기 전에 소프트웨어를 이용하여 사전에 측정 성능을 검증하는데 사용될수 있다. 또한 구현된 소프트웨어 알고리즘을 속도측면에서 최적화함으로서 직접 EDGE 신호 측정을 위한 상용 시스템으로도 이용할 수 있다. In this paper, we implement the measurement functionality for performance measurements of EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) terminal by using software. Generally speaking, the receiving algorithms in normal MODEM cannot be used directly to a measurement system due to the lack of accuracy. Therefore, we propose a new receiver algorithm for precise EDGE signal measurements. In the proposed algorithm, 2-stage (coarse stage, fine stage) parameters estimation (symbol-timing, frequency offset, carrier phase) scheme is used. To improve the estimation accuracy, we increase the number of the received signal samples by interpolation. The proposed EDGE signal measurement algorithm can be used for verifying the hardware measurement system, and also can be used for the commercial systems through software optimization.

최근의 EU 회원국간 양자투자협정과 투자자-국가 분쟁 동향 - Achmea BV v. Slovakia 사건을 중심으로 -

강성진,Kang, Sung-Jin 한국중재학회 2018 중재연구 Vol.28 No.2

After the adoption of the Lisbon Treaty, the European Union's Common Commercial Policy now belongs to the exclusive competence area of the EU, including the foreign direct investment (FDI) policy. Regarding the bilateral investment protection treaties (BITs) between the EU Member States, the European Commission is of the view that such BITs should be discarded. On March 6, 2018, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) held in the Achmea BV v. Slovakia case that a BIT between the EU Member States, as well as arbitral awards based on that BIT, is not subject to request for preliminary rulings under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), and thus they are not compatible with the EU law. However, the judgment did not silence the controversy. Instead, many people questioned the legal reasoning and the legitimacy of judgment, and therefore the problem is still ongoing.

The arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method that can evaluate tissue perfusion using blood in the body. The characteristic of non-invasive examinations without contrast agents and the quantitative measurement of perfusion volume is possible, which are increasingly being used for clinical and research purposes. Up to the present, The ASL method has lower SNR than the perfusion imaging method using contrast agent and because optimization of various parameter in the imaging process is difficult, Which may result in measurement errors. To improve this, ASL methods using various technologies are introduced. This paper briefly introduces the outline of ASL, its features in imaging process, various techniques, and clinical application.

In this study, for assessment of degenerative knee joint cartilage disease we acquired images by fat suppressed 3D spoiled gradient recalled (SPGR) and fat suppressed 3D T2* weighted imaging techniques. To do a quantitative evaluation, the knee joint cartilage was divided into medial femoral cartilage (MFC), medial tibial cartilage (MTC), lateral femoral cartilage (LFC), lateral femoral cartilage (LFC) and patella cartilage (Pat) to measure their respective signal intensity values, signal-to-noise ratio, and contrast-to-noise ratio. As for the measured values, statistical significance between two techniques was verified by using Mann-Whitney U-Test. To do a qualitative evaluation, two radiologists have examined images by techniques after which image artifact, cartilage surface, tissue contrast, and depiction of lesion distinguishing were evaluated based on 4-point scaling (1: bad, 2: appropriate, 3: good, 4: excellent), and based on the result, statistical significance was verified by using Kappa-value Test. 3.0T MR system and HD T/R 8ch knee array coil were used to acquire images. As a result of a quantitative analysis, based on SNR values measured by using two imaging techniques, MFC, LFC, LTC, and Pat showed statistical significance (p < 0.05), but MTC did not (p > 0.05). As a result of verifying statistical significance for measured CNR value, MFC, LFC, and Pat showed statistical significance (p < 0.05), while MTC and LTC did not show statistical significance (p > 0.05). As a result of a qualitative analysis, by comparing mean values for evaluated image items, 3D T2* weighted Image has indicated a slightly higher value. As for conformance verification between the two observers by using Kappa-value test, all evaluated items have indicated statistically significant results (p < 0.05). 3D T2* weighted technique holds a clinical value equal to or superior to 3D SPGR technique with respect to evaluating images, such as distinguishing knee joint cartilages, comparing nearby tissues contrast, and distinguishing lesions.
