An integrated multi-level simulation environment is developed for a highly collision-resistant RFID system. An analog/mixed-signal (AMS) simulator for a circuit-level description of analog front-end power/signal transmission through electro-magnetic coupling is concurrently connected to a tailored software simulator for system-level description of digital back-end processing of TH-CDMA based anti-collision communication. The feasibility of the RFID system in which more than 1,000 transponders can be identified by a single reader in 400 msec is successfuly explored, under a practical presence of field disturbances such as background noises in communication channels as well as variations of electro-magnetic coupling strengths for power transmission.

We develop a simulation environment for designing and examining a neural network model at the network level. The aim of our research is to enable researchers investigating neural network connective models to save time by being equipped with a graphical user interface and database of the network models. This environment consists of three parts: (1) the kernel of the simulation system, (2) NNDBMS (Neural Networks DataBase Management System), and (3) a system for displaying simulation results in various ways.
