This paper describes the radar tracking errors due to the presence of surface reflected waves. We investigate the previous studies on tracking errors and developed a tracking error estimation program using Matlab. We suggest an accurate error prediction method by considering the antenna beamwidth and surface reflection coefficient. The presented results well agree with theoretical predictions.

RF skin tracking of instrumentation RADAR cannot acquire stable track data, because of effect of multipath interference especially elevation direction. In this paper, low altitude target tracking method using laser tracking system is suggested to overcome this restriction. The effect of multipath can be reduced by increasing angle resolution with laser characteristics of very short pulse and narrow beamwidth. RF skin track, beacon track and laser track data for the integrated calibration target on the ground and target ship on the sea are gathered. And they are compared and analyzed to confirm the performance of laser tracking system. As a result, it shows that the suggested laser track method has better performance than RF skin track under multipath conditions.

The wireless communication channel different speed by depth of water or salt and it is influenced by multi-path according underwater. In the paper, MIMO(Multi-input-Multi-Output) system used turbo Equalizer combining Equalizer with Turbo codes for data rates by multi-path channel. we proposed and simulated that the Decision-Directed method used for phase offset. The simulation of proposed method show that the bit-error rate performance can be severely affected by phase errors.

본 논문에서는 주파수 영역에서 구현되는 안테나 배열을 이용한 적응형 등화기의 구조를 제안하였다. 제안된 방식은 주파수 영역에서 블록 LMS (least mean squares) 방식을 사용하기 때문에 수렴 속도가 빠르고 계산량이 적다. 또한 안테나 배열을 사용함으로서 다중경로 환경에서 한 개의 안테나를 사용한 경우에 비해 특히 우수한 성능을 지닌다. 다중 경로를 통한 신호들을 분리하기 위해 학습신호를 사용하여 반복적으로 출력신호와의 오차를 최소화하는 방법을 사용하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 안테나의 개수, 신호의 입사각, 세기 등에 따른 성능을 분석하고, 제안된 방식이 다이버시티 시스템에 사용되는 경우에 대하여도 성능을 분석하였다.

Multipath is an inevitable error source in radio navigation system such as GPS, it causes signal tracking errors such as carrier tracking errors, code tracking errors. Since code tracking error is a dominant error in absolute positioning, this paper focuses on the improvement of code tracking performance. This paper proposes a method that detects the change of autocorrelation function's slope and mitigates the multipath error. Also, this paper shows the performance evaluation results by post-processing the digitized RF samples.

In recent years, Transport Demand Management has been conducted for the efficient management of transport. In ITS applications in particular, the prerequisite is accurate and reliable positioning. However, the major problems are satellite signal outage, and multipath. This paper proposes that outage and multipath measurement can be detected and estimated using elevation angle and signal to noise ratio data association relation in stand-alone GPS. In order to verify the performance of the proposed method, it is then evaluated by the car test. the evaluation test environment has low accuracy and unreliable positioning because of signal outage or multipath such as steep hill and high buildings. In the evaluation test result, 918times abnormal signal occurred and it was confirmed that the proposed method showed more improved 9.48m(RMS) horizontal positioning error than without proposed method.

National Geographic Information Institute has installed the first permanent Global Positioning System (GPS) station SUWN in 1995 and, as of today, the number of sites is 14. In this study, we visited all the 14 stations and determined if the site mount and antenna configuration conforms to the international site guidelines published by International GNSS Service and National Geodetic Survey. The environment around each station was also checked for the possibility of causing positioning errors. In addition, the GPS data quality was evaluated using the quality-checking program called TEQC. As a result of site visits, we found that low stations (TABK, CHJU, KWNJ, and WNJU) have unfavorable environment and TEQC results validated it. TEQC results also showed that the GPS receiver change during years 2005-2006 reduced the multipath errors and the number of cycle slips at every station.

This paper proposes an improved multi-stage timing offset estimation scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in multipath fading channel environment. The conventional multi-stage timing offset estimation scheme is very sensitive to the random multipath components. By exploiting the sample standard deviation of the cross-correlation values, the proposed scheme achieves a robustness to the random multipath components. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme has a higher correct estimation probability and has a better mean square error (MSE) performance than the conventional scheme in multipath fading channels.

Recently, Lee et al. have proposed an algorithm utilizing the signals from different paths by using bottom mounted simple linear array to estimate 3-D location of oceanic target. But this algorithm assumes that sound velocity is constant along depth of sea. Consequently, serious performance loss is appeared in real oceanic environment that sound speed is changed variously. In this paper, we present a 3-D near field localization algorithm for inhomogeneous sound speed. The proposed algorithm adopt localization function that utilize ray propagation model for multipath environment with linear sound speed profile(SSP), after that, the proposed algorithm searches for the instantaneous azimuth angle, range and depth from the localization cost function. Several simulations using linear SSP and non linear SSP similar to that of real oceans are used to demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The estimation error in range and depth is decreased by 100m and 50m respectively.
