The effect of multipath is especially serious in urban area and sea surface where buildings and water reflect GPS signal. Multipath brings about the performance degradation on many GPS application because the presence of multipath causes the diminution of pseudorange measurement accuracy in turn position accuracy. In this paper, a multipath mitigation named weighted correlation method is implemented on software GPS receiver, in which the asymmetric correlation function is compensated by modifying the late correlation value. Asymmetry compensation is obtained as weighted sum of two correlators which have different early-late chip spaces. This structure is adopted to lessen the computation load lower keeping up performance similar to that. The performance of implemented multipath mitigation technique is evaluated using GPS signal and multipath signal generated by GPS signal generator and software GPS receiver. The test results show that the weighted correlation method gives hefter performance than the standard correlator and the narrow correlator.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with space-time coding (STC) is a promising technology for future wireless communication systems. However, MIMO-OFDM systems are greatly impaired by large cochannel interference (CCI) from the multiple transmitters. In this paper, we propose pre-fast Fourier transform (FFT) multibeamforming based on MMSE(minimizing the mean squared error) for a MIMO-OFDM system to preserves the STC diversity and to remove the CCI. The improvement in bit error rate is investigated through computer simulation of a MIMO-OFDM system in a multipath channel with CCI.

수중폭발성음원인 SUS(signal underwater sound)는 수중에서의 폭발과 동시에 충격파와 기포파들이 연속적으로 발생한다. 이러한 신호는 광범위한 주파수대역을 가지고 전파거리가 길어지면서 굴절과 반사등의 다중경로 전파효과에 의한 신호의 변형까지 생긴다. (1,2,3). 본 연구에서는 deconvolution 방법을 이용하여 수신신호중에서 기포파효과를 최소화시켜 충격파의 수신기 도달시간을 파악하고, 각 충격파들의 전파경로를 추정하여 이 중 직접경로와 해저면 반사경로의 신호를 이용하여 해저면 반사계수를 계산하였다.

In this paper, we analyzed the envelope correlation of wideband signals modulated on two separate subcarriers in a Nakagami-Rice fading channel with exponential power delay profile. The results show that the envelope correlation of resolvable paths is implicated by the ratio of the specular wave power to the mean multipath power as well as the signal bandwidth and the rms delay spread of the multipath waves.

Recently a new spectrum ruling has been proposed for UWB(Ultra-Wideband) communication applications. The new proposal is expected to reduce the usable UWB spectrum significantly and may cause to weaken the unique advantages of the UWB pulses such as high resolution synchronizations and robustness to the multipath effects. In this paper, we investigate the performance degradation caused by the reduced UWB spectrum. As a means to overcome the performance degradation, a modified discrete linear frequency modulation technique is proposed. We show that, when multipath components are present in the received signal, the proposed method exhibits superior performances in terms of pulse detection efficiency and range resolutions.

In this paper, we propose a ESP(Extended Scan Path) architecture for multi- board testing. The conventional architectures for board testing are single scan path and multi-scan path. In the single scan path architecture, the scan path for test data is just one chain. If the scan path is faulty due to short or open, the test data is not valid. In the multi-scan path architecture, there are additional signals in multi-board testing. So conventional architectures are not adopted to multi-board testing. In the case of the ESP architecture, even though scan paths either short or open, it doesn't affect remaining other scan paths. As a result of executing parallel BIST and IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan test by using, he proposed ESP architecture, we observed to the test time is short compared with the single scan path architecture. Because the ESP architecture uses the common bus, there are not additional signals in multi-board testing. By comparing the ESP architecture with conventional one using ISCAS '85 bench mark circuit, we showed that the architecture has improved results.

해상 무선 통신에서 신호 다중 경로로 인하여 장거리 데이터 통신에 어려움이 있을 수 있다. 이를 해소하기 위하여 채널 등화 기술을 사용할 수 있다. 제안하는 채널 등화 기술은 비터비 알고리즘을 이용한 시퀀스 신호 검출로 구현의 복잡도를 낮추기 위하여 결정 피드백 방식을 이용하여 트랠리스 상태의 개수를 줄였다. 16QAM과 심볼 속도 76.8kHz의 신호에 대하여 10usec와 30usec 지연 시간 차이를 갖는 2-way 신호 경로의 채널 모델에 대한 컴퓨터 모의 시험을 수행하였다. 제안한 등화 기술을 사용할 경우 고려한 다중 신호 경로에 대하여 수신 오류율에서 error flow가 관찰되지 않는 것을 확인하였다.

Underwater acoustic communication has multipath error because of reflection by sea-level and sea-bottom. The multipath of underwater channel causes signal distortion and error floor. In order to improve the performance, it is necessary to employ an iterative coding scheme. Among the iterative coding scheme, turbo codes and LDPC codes are dominant channel coding schemes in recent. This paper concluded that turbo coding scheme is optimal for underwater communications system in aspect to performance, coded word length, and equalizer combining. Also, decision directed phase recovery was used for correcting phase offset induced by multipath. Based on these algorithms, we confirmed the performance in the environment of oceanic experimentation.

This paper presents an efficient technique for interference suppression in IEEE 802.11b WLAN systems. A linearly constrained adaptive array processor which may improve reception performance of WLAN device by reducing co-channel interference signal and multipath effects effectively was proposed. A spatial smoothing method is used to prevent cancellation of a desired signal in a coherent environment and also integral nulling method is employed to improve the array performance in indoor environment. It was shown that the integral nulling approach performed best while the spatial smoothing method performed better than linearly constrained array processing. The performance of the WLAN system may be improved by the proposed methods which reduce co-channel, coherent, and WPAN interferences effectively.
