The digital audio broadcasting (DAB) system is mainly designed for large-area coverage and is suited for a single-frequency network (SFN) operating in Very High Frequency (VHF) Band III. To operate successfully, the SFN requires a different network-planning approach for multiple-frequency networks and should avoid self-interference. This paper focuses on nationwide SFN planning and DAB channel-allocation planning to replace all frequency-modulation (FM) services with terrestrial DAB services in VHF Band III. In South Korea, VHF Band III has been used for terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) services; thus, available frequencies should be investigated for T-DAB services and the nationwide SFN. An approach for broadcasting channel-interference analysis is proposed herein. For the interference analysis, the geographical features and the information for stations of legacy FM radio broadcasting and T-DMB, such as transmission parameters, are considered. The ratio of the interference area to the coverage is calculated via the channel-interference analysis. Areas affected by the self-interference in the nationwide SFN are investigated. The results of this paper provide insights regarding channel-allocation planning for T-DAB services and an approach for nationwide SFN planning.

Abstract. This paper was intended to find out any relation between anomalous line-of-sight propagation on the very high frequency (VHF) band and occurrences of earthquakes near the VHF propagation paths. The television and FM radio broadcasting waves on the VHF band were monitored continuously over the long term. For that purpose, a multidirectional VHF band monitoring system was established and utilized. Anomalous line-of-sight propagation on the VHF band was distinguished from the monitored wave by using a statistical analysis. After the stochastic consideration, it was found out that earthquakes associated with anomalous propagation were characterized by magnitude of earthquakes M ≥ 4.5, and distances from epicenters L ≤ 75 km. The anomalous propagation was monitored on the VHF band a few days before the associated earthquakes occurred. Moreover, the anomaly appeared on multidirectional propagation paths simultaneously. The anomaly on the line-of-sight propagation indicates the possibility of narrowly focusing the area of the epicenter of earthquake.

The provision of mobile cloud service calls for a wireless access infrastructure that offers high bandwidth to mobile users. Among all enabling technologies, wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have the advantage of low deployment cost and widely available user equipments. To provide more bandwidth, access points in WMNs are commonly equipped with multiple wireless interfaces (radios) that can operate on multiple non-overlapping channels in parallel. The objective of channel assignments in a multi-channel, multi-radio MWN is to reduce co-channel interference experienced by links so as to increase network capacity while maintaining network connectivity. Prior studies addressing this issue majorly considered effects of co-channel interference at the link layer. In this study, the authors consider co-channel interference at the physical layer. Furthermore, most existing methods are based on heuristic or game theory. This study applies simulated annealing technique to the channel allocation problem. The objective function for this approach is defined as the total signal-to-interference radio (SIR) experienced by each link. To maintain network connectivity, the proposed approach limits the set of assigned channels for each radio. Experimental results show that, compared with traditional heuristic-based and game-theoretic approaches, the proposed simulated annealing algorithm results in more operative links.

AbstractWe have developed high efficiency large area a-Si:H and a-SiGe:H multi-junction solar cells using a Modified Very High Frequency (MVHF) glow discharge process. We conducted a comparative study for different cell structures, and compared the initial and stable performance and light-induced degradation of solar cells made using MVHF and RF techniques. Besides high efficiency, the MVHF cells also demonstrate superior light stability, showing <10% degradation after 1000 hour of one-sun light soaking at 50 °C. We also studied light-induced defect level and hydrogen evolution characteristics of MVHF deposited a-SiGe:H films and compared them with the RF deposited films.
