The signal intersection is the most challenging space for autonomous vehicles. To promote the safe driving of autonomous vehicles on urban roads with traffic signals, autonomous vehicles need to receive traffic signal information from infrastructure through V2I communication. Thus, a protocol for providing traffic signal information was added to the standard traffic signal controller specification of the National Police Agency. On the other hand, there are technical limitations when applying this to digital traffic signal controllers because the protocols are defined mainly for analog traffic signal controllers. Therefore, this study proposes developing a signal information linkage module to provide traffic signal information from a digital traffic signal controller to an autonomous vehicle and an algorithm improvement method that can provide accurate traffic signal information at the time of traffic signal transition.

In this paper, design of a new 3-dimensional (3-D) 16-ary signal constellation with constant envelope is presented and analyzed. Unlike the conventional 16-ary constellations, all signal points of the new constellation are uniformly located on the surface of a sphere so that they have a unique amplitude level and a symmetrical structure. When average power of the constellations is normalized, the presented 16-ary constellation has around 11.4% increased minimum Euclidean distance (MED) as compared to the conventional ones that have non-constant envelope. As a result, a digital communication system which exploits the presented constellation has 1.2dB improved symbol error rate (SER). While signal points of the conventional constant-envelope constellation are not distributed uniformly on the surface of a sphere, those of the proposed constellation has a completely symmetric distribution. In addition, the new signal constellation has much lower computational complexity for practical implementation than the conventional one. Hence, the proposed 3-D 16-ary signal constellation is appropriate for the application to a communication system which strongly requires a constant-envelope characteristic.

Power amplifier is an essential component for transmitting signals to a remote receiver in wireless communication systems. Power amplifier is a non-linear device in general, and the nonlinear distortion becomes severer as the output power increases. The nonlinearity results in spectral regrowth, which leads to adjacent channel interference, and decreases the transmit signal quality. To linearize power amplifiers, many techniques have been developed so far. Among the techniques, digital pre-distortion is known as the most cost and performance effective technique. However, the linearization performance falls down abruptly when the power amplifier operates in its saturation region. This is because of the severe nonlinearity. To relieve this problem, this paper proposes a new adaptive predistortion technique. The proposed technique controls the adaptive algorithm based on the power amplifier input level. Specifically, for small signals, the adaptive predistortion algorithm works normally. On the contrary, for large signals, the adaptive algorithm stops until small signals occur again. By doing this, wrong coefficient update by severe nonlinearity can be avoided. Computer simulation results show that the proposed method can improve the linearization performance compared with the conventional digital predistortion algorithms.

디지털 측정장치의 발달에 따라 센서에서 출력되는 아날로그 신호를 디지털 신호로 변환하고, 이를 바탕으로 측정결과를 제시하는 경우가 많다. 그러나 아날로그 신호의 디지털화 과정에서는 정보의 유실이 생길 수밖에 없고, 또한 측정 헤드의 dimension 과 sampling interval 등과 같은 측정조건은 측정결과의 신뢰성에 많은 문제를 야기 시킨다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 측정방법을 바탕으로 시장-분산곡선과 Correlogram 법을 이용하여 그 특성을 해석하고, 데이터 샘플링 시 측정조건과 시료내의 변동성이 측정결과인 평균 굵기 및 굵기의 총분산에 미치는 영향을 찾아 보았다.(중략)

광파이버 패브리페로 간섭계에서 동작영역을 넓히기 위해 공진기의 길이를 1mm보다 짧은 초소형 간섭계를 구성하고자 하였을 경우, 광출력의 위상변화에 대한 감도가 낮아 전달함수로부터 변화된 위상을 복원하는 과정이 까다로워진다. 이러한 신호복원 과정에는 대부분 신호잡음비를 높여주는 신호처리 수단을 포함하게 되므로 간섭계가 겪은 위상변화를 보다 높은 신뢰성으로 검출하고자 할 때 어떠한 신호처리 방법이 적절한가하는 선택의 문제가 발생된다. 이는 각각의 신호처리방법이 장단점을 가지므로 응용목적에 따른 trade-off가 필요하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 참조 간섭계와 센서 간섭계 간의 correlation으로부터 위상을 검출하여 시스템의 잡음을 common mode 잡음으로 처리할 수 있었으며, 디지털 신호처리기법을 응용하여 짧은 공진기로 구성된 센서 간섭계의 위상변화분을 보다 안정적으로 검출하게 되었다.

In a single frequency network (SFN) for Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) terrestrial digital television (DTV) system, the interferences induced by the multiple transmitters and/or repeaters using the same frequency are inevitable. Since the presence of interferences results in performance degradation of the SFN, it is crucial to manipulate the interferences by adjusting the transmit power and timing of each transmitter and repeater. In the ATSC terrestrial DTV system, in order to facilitate the interference manipulation process, a transmitter identification (TxID) signal which is uniquely embedded in the signal to be transmitted from each transmitter and repeater is recommended. Even though the injection level of the TxID signal is much lower than the DTV signal, the TxID signal injection infects the DTV signal. Hence, the effect of the TxID signal on the DTV signal must be investigated before deployment. In this paper, the effect of the TxID signal on the performance of legacy DTV receivers under additive white Gaussian noise and multipath channel environments is investigated not only with computer simulation but also with laboratory and field tests. The test results show that the average threshold of visibility degradation of the legacy DTV receivers due to the TxID signal injection is less than 0.2 dB at the TxID injection level of -30 dB.

The incremental encoder has been mostly used to measure the speed and position of the motor. As the output signals of encoder are high frequency digital signals, they have much influence on radiation noises due to switching of the power semiconductor circuits. It is so difficult to suppress the noises with the conventional LPF. In this paper, the hardware digital filter for suppressing noises in the output signals of the encoder signals is developed. As both the clock frequency and counter in the digital filter for encoder are easily adjusted according to the kinds of noises, any noises in the encoder can be entirely eliminated. The performance of the digital filter has been verified by simulation and experimental results.
