This paper presents reflection symmetry of polarimetric SAR over the Amazon rainforest in terms of correlation coefficients between the pairs of HH- and HV-pol and VV- and VH-pol data by ALOS PALSAR. The reflection symmetry is defined as a non-zero correlation between HH- and HV-pol and VV- and VH-pol over natural distributed targets, and is a fundamental assumption for cross-talk calibration coefficient computation and for three-component decomposition for polarimetric SAR data. The Amazon rainforest is especially one of the common global reference sites for the reflection symmetry. The correlation coefficients for the pairs of reflection symmetry obtained in this study range from 0.018 to 0.097. The results imply that there exists a non-negligible dependency between co-pol and cross-pol in the distributed natural targets, and consequently the non-zero correlation must be considered as a potential contribution to errors of spaceborne SAR polarimetry to some extent.

In this paper, we propose a multiple dual-polarized antenna system for multi-user transmission in line-of-sight (LoS) dominant channel environments. By exploiting space and polarization resources efficiently, the proposed system achieves a higher sum rate than the existing multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) system with uni-polarized antennas.

본 논문은 2린 대역의 마이크로 셀 환경에서 원편파 특성을 분석하기 위하여 편파의 특성을 이론적 해석과 실제 측정 데이터를 비교 검토하였다. 가시거리에서는 원편파가 기수회 반사파 수신을 억제하기 때문에 다중경로 페이딩에 대한 경감 효과가 있다는 것은 널리 알려져 있다. 본 연구팀은 "E"자형 건물의 회절 음영 지역에서도 원편파의 편파 특성이 잘 유지되는지를 측정 분석하였다. 이를 위해 정선회 원편파(C), 역선회 원편파(X), 수직편파(V), 수평편파(H) 안테나를 사용하여 각각의 송수신 편파간 조합에 대하여 거리에 따른 전계강도를 이동 측정하였다. 전파 모델은 "E"자형 건물의 회절지역 모델에서 2개의 경로를 선택하여 각각에 대한 전파의 편파 특성을 분석하였다.대한 전파의 편파 특성을 분석하였다.

In this paper, we describe the correlation processing method of multi-polarization observation data of the Daejeon Correlator. VLBI observations include single or multiple polarized observations depending on the type of object. Polarization observations are performed to observe the characteristics of the object. During the observations of the celestial object, polarization measurements are also performed to determine the delay values and causes of changes in the object. Correlation processing of polarization observation data of the Daejeon correlator is proposed by OCTAVIA of a synchronous reproduction processing apparatus that outputs data input to each antenna unit by using an output bit selection function to convert bits and the order of the data streams is changed, And the input of the Daejeon correlator is configured to perform the polarization correlation processing by conducting correlation processing by setting the existing stream number to be the same. Correlation processing is conducted on the test data observed for the polarization correlation processing and it is verified through experiments that the polarization correlation processing method of the proposed Daejeon correlator is effective.

In this paper, to investigate the possibility of fading reduction effect and high transmission rate in indoor multipath propagation environment, we measured and analyzed broadband signal conducting by frequency sweeping method in LOS(Line-of-Sight) environment. In measuring, we used vertically polarized, horizonatally polarized and circularly polarized and circularly polarized antenna to compare the fading reduction effect and the characteristic of bandwidth amplitude fluctuation between each broadband signals. As a result, it can be seen that the circularly polarized antenna can reduce the amplitude deviation of the broadband signal because it can remove the odd-times reflected wave in LOS environment. And also, It was found that the best effective diversity reception method is to use polarization branches, which install a circularly polarized antenna at the transmitting end and compose the vertical and horizontal antenna at the receiving end.

협대역 다중접속 방식의 한계를 벗어난 Ultra-wide band(UWB) 기술이 고속 데이터 전송을 위해 많이 개발되어지고 있다. UWB 시스템은 방사전력 제한을 두고 있어서 근거리 실내 무선통신 분야에서 활용 범위가 확대되고 있다. 하지만 실내 무선 환경에서는 벽, 천장, 바닥 그리고 실내에 위치한 장애물 등에 의한 다중경로 페이딩 영향으로 초고속 실내 무선통신 서비스를 제공하는데 어려움이 있다. 이러한 실내 다중경로 성분에 의한 페이딩을 경감시키는 여러 가지 방법 중에서 원형편파를 이용하면, 상대적으로 긴 지연을 갖는 강한 다중경로 성분을 효과적으로 제거할 수가 있기 때문에 수신신호의 RMS 지연 감소, 페이딩 경감 및 신호강도 개선효과 등을 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 원형편파를 고려한 수정된 UWB 채널의 파라미터를 수정 정립하였고, 수정된 채널모델을 UWB 시스템에 적용하여 성능 개선을 시도하였다.

In a small cell base station used in densely populated areas, a dual polarized multiple antenna(MIMO) is mainly used to increase the cell capacity. This paper demonstrates a dual-polarization antenna with high cross-polarization discrimination(XPD) that can improve the capacity of a small cell using a dual polarization multiple antenna (MIMO). By using the symmetric structure and differential feeding, high XPD in all directions is achieved. In addition, a very similar radiation pattern is observed between each polarization. Because of high XPD and similar radiation pattern in all directions, proposed antenna is well adopted for small-cell multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) system. Experimental results shows that the proposed antenna has a bandwidth of 180 MHz (2.51~2.7 GHz), a maximum gain of 4.5 dBi (3.5~4.5 dBi), and a half-power beam width of 85 degrees. In addition, average XPD of 26.4 dB in all directions, more than 13.8 dB increase than previous dual-polarization antennas which use single emitter by using different feeding or selectively use polarization through switching.

In this paper, a multi polarization reconfigurable microstrip antenna that can be used selectively for four polarizations(vertical polarization, horizontal polarization, right hand circular polarization, left hand circular polarization) at the S-band is presented. The proposed antenna consists of four PIN diodes and a microstrip patch with a cross slot and a circular slot and is fed by utiliting electromagnetic coupling between the microstrip patch and the feed line. The proposed antenna has a DC bias network to supply DC voltage to each PIN diode and the polarization can be determined by controlling the ON /OFF states of four PIN diodes. The fabricated antenna has a VSWR below 2 in the vertical polarization(3.17~3.21 GHz), the horizontal polarization(3.16~3.20 GHz), the left hand circular polarization (3.08~3.19 GHz), and the right hand circular polarization(3.10~3.2 GHz) frequency bands. The designed antenna has the cross polarization level higher than 20 dB, a gain over 5 dBi for the linear polarization states, and 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth wider than 50 MHz in the circular polarization states.

본 논문에서는 3D Ray Tracing 편파특성 예측 시뮬레이터를 개발하고 초고속 옥내 무선환경에서의 원형편파 우수성을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하였다. 제안된 3D Ray Tracing 기법을 이용하여 시뮬레이션 한 결과 기수회의 반사파가 수신기에서 수신되지 않는 원형판파의 특성 때문에 다중경로 페이딩을 현저히 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 옥내 가시거리(LOS) 및 비가시거리(NLOS) 환경에서의 원형편파를 이용한 페이딩 경감효과는 수직 및 수평견파나 편파다이버시티보다 우수함을 알 수 있었고, DS-CDMA 시스템을 이용한 경우에 있어서도 원형편파가 보다 우수한 BER 성능을 나타냄을 확인하였다.
