Abstract: A method for converting a sample rate in a Software Defined Radio (SDR) communication system is provided. The method includes setting a sampling frequency range depending on a maximum sampling frequency and a minimum sampling frequency so as to enable support of a plurality of sample rates; if a required sampling frequency is set, determining a control value for converting the maximum sampling frequency to the required sampling frequency; and receiving a signal having the maximum sampling frequency, and converting the signal having the maximum sampling frequency to a signal having the required sampling frequency depending on the control value. The control value is determined taking into account a maximum sampling frequency for setting the sampling frequency range.
Abstract: A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna and an antenna system using the same are provided. The MIMO antenna includes a plurality of antenna elements in which a feeding unit is formed at one end, and another end is connected to a ground, and a connection unit which connects the antenna elements.

Abstract: An information storage medium including graphic data and presentation information, and an apparatus and method of processing the graphic data are provided. The information storage medium includes the graphic data, page composition information which defines page composition of the graphic data, and the presentation information indicating when graphic screen data, which is composed with reference to the page composition information of the graphic data, is output to a display screen. Therefore, a graphic object is reusable in graphic data processing, and accordingly, a time taken to process the graphic data is reducible and memory area may be saved.
Abstract: A key calculation method and a shared key generation method, the key calculation method including: generating two keys to perform a key calculation; calculating a first value based on coefficients having an identical coefficient value among coefficients included in each of the two keys; and performing a coordinates operation or an exponentiation operation based on the first value, wherein the calculating of the first value is performed with respect to each of coefficient values included in the two keys, excluding 0.
Abstract: An apparatus and method for recording and/or reproducing data on a disc are provided using padding information, and a corresponding information storage medium. The recording method includes recording a recording unit block in which invalid data is padded in part of the block and recording padding information indicating that the invalid data is included. According to the method, a disc drive becomes able to distinguish valid data from invalid data in an error correction block such that reliability of reproduction increases and stability of the system is improved.
