Abstract

In spite of many advantages of Meteor Burst Communications(MBC) on its transmission channel, the fact that its duty rate is less than 10 percents is a considerable deficiency of MBC. To overcome with this deficiency without paying large cost, we use a direct sequence(DS) simple reception system. This method doesn't need to add the components for acquisition or tracking the signal so that it keeps the cost efficiency of the MBC. But it has a disadvantage that its duty rate shows a large decline by noise. For this problem we adopt the proposed system applying a transversal filter circuit. The improvement by this method is more significant when the received signal is weak Simulation results show as t1 is 100ms, then the burst length would be increased by 35% when the initial value of the received signal power increases by 3 dB, t2 is 135ms. If the power increases by 6dB the burst length would be 170ms thus increased by 70%, which shows a great enhancement. Suppose now that t1 is 50ms and the power is increased by 3dB, then t2 would be increased by 70% to 85ms, and increasing the power by 6dB it would be increased by 130% to 115ms.

MBC(meteor burst communications)는 그 전송로의 많은 장점에도 불구하고 도통율이 수%이하로 낮다는 큰 결점이 있다. 이를 위해 큰 경제적 부담 없이 전송 채널의 도통율을 향상시키는 방법으로서 간단한 구조의 DS(Direct Sequence)시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 DS 간이 수신방식은 동기신호의 포착이나 유지에 소요되는 시스템을 생략할 수가 있어서 MBC가 가지는 경제성을 만족시킬 수 있으나, 잡음의 영향을 크게 받아 도통율이 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 이를 위해 제안된 DS 시스템에 Transversal Filter회로를 적용하여 SNR을 6dB이상 향상시켰다. 이 방법으로 개선되는 효과는 수신신호가 약한 환경에서 보다 더 큰 것으로 나타나는데 시뮬레이션에 의하면 SNR이 약 6dB 개선되었을 때 평균 버스트 길이가 100ms인 것은 70%로 개선되어 170ms로 되고, 50ms환경에서는 130%개선되어 115ms가 되어 수신신호가 약한 환경에서 도통율이 크게 개선됨을 확인할 수 있었다.
