초록

무선통신환경에서는 RF신호가 매우 심하게 변하는데, 이러한 신호의 변화는 특히 차량통신환경에서 더욱 심해진다. 자동이득제어는 무선통신시스템에서 신뢰성 있는 통신환경을 제공하고 급격하게 변하는 수신신호를 보상하데 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 수신신호세기값과 아날로그-디지털변환값 두 가지 신호를 이용하는 간단하고 향상된 자동이득 제어기법에 대해 논의한다. 시물레이션과 실제 환경에의 측정을 통해 제안된 기법의 성능을 검증한다.

Radio Frequency (RF) signal fluctuates dynamically in wireless communication environments, where this fluctuation is severe especially in vehicular environments. Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is critical in wireless communications to establish reliable communication links and compensate the received signal fluctuation. In this paper, we introduce a simple and novel AGC scheme which uses both Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and analog-to digital converter (ADC) signals. Performance enhancement of the proposed AGC scheme is verified with practical measurements including simulations.
