This paper proposes a frequency-domain partially adaptive algorithm, called a censoring algorithm, to reduce the computational complexity of the frequency domain adaptive array. The proposed censoring algorithm determines the existence of interferences in the frequency-domain at each frequency bin using a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) processor. The censoring algorithm adapts only those parts of the weights that correspond to the frequency bins expected to contain interferences. The censoring algorithm is also expanded to overcome the signal cancellation phenomenon caused by smart jammers. Accordingly, a censoring spatial smoothing, which combines the censoring algorithm with spatial smoothing, is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms are effective in removing interferences with only part of the computational complexity of conventional algorithms yet with the same level of performance.

In this paper, novel sub-space interference alignment algorithms are proposed to boost the capacity in multi-cell environment. In the case of conventional sub-space alignment, arbitrary reference vectors have been adopted as transmitting vectors at the transmitter side, and the inter-cell interference among users are eliminated by using orthogonal vectors of the chosen reference vectors at the receiver side. However, in this case, sum-rate varies using different reference vectors even though the channel values keep constant, and vice versa. Therefore, the relationship between reference vectors and channel values are analyzed in this paper, and novel interference alignment algorithms are proposed to increase multi-cell capacity. Reference vectors with similar magnitude are adopted in the proposed algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms provide about 50 % higher sum-rate than conventional algorithm.

본 논문에서는, 적응 간섭 제거기(AIC : adaptive interference canceller)에 사용되는 적응 알고리즘 중 계산량이 적고, 하드웨어적 복잡성이 낮은 최소 평균 자승(LMS)알고리즘의 적응화 상수(constant step size)를 여러 개 사용하여 빠른 수렴 속도와 낮은 평균 자승 에러를 가지는 방법을 제안한다. 최소 평균 자승 알고리즘에서 적응화 상수는 수렴속도와 평균 자승 에러를 제거하는데, 적응화 상수가 증가할수록 수렴속도가 빨라지는 반면, 평균 자승 에러는 증가하게 된다. 이 논문에서는 수렴속도를 증가하는 동시에 평균 자승 에러를 줄이기 위해, 최소 평균 자승 알고리즘에서 세 개의 적응화 상수를 가지는 새로운 검출기를 제안한다. 이 구조에서, 매 반복횟수에 따른 각 그룹 출력 값들을 가지고, 선택(selection)부분에서 평균 자승 에러들을 비교하며, 가장 작은 평균 자승 에러를 나타내는 그룹의 에러 값과 필터 계수 값들이 선택되어져 여러 적응화 상수 최소 평균 자승 알고리즘(several step size LMS algorithm)부분에서 각 그룹의 필터 계수를 갱신하는데 필요한 정보로 이용된다.

We present a diffraction grating interferometer of large equivalent wavelength specially designed for flatness testing of rough surfaces. Two transmission diffraction gratings are illuminated on the object under test by use of two measurement beams with different angles of incidence, which yields a large equivalent wavelength. This interferometer design minimizes unnecessary diffraction rays and the systematic error caused by the diffraction gratings, and provides a large working distance and easy alignment. To improve the measurement accuracy, phase shifting technique is applied and the equivalent wavelength error caused by defocus is calibrated. Test results obtained from mirror surfaces and machined rough surfaces are discussed.

이 연구의 목적은 밀도측정 및 수분함량측정용 RI 계기의 개발에 있다. 방사성동위원소를 이용하여 성토시공의 현장다짐 밀도 및 수분함량 측정에 이용되곤 있는 RI 계기는 중성자 검출부분, 감마선 검출부분, 고전압 공급부분, 마이크로 컴퓨터 부분으로 크게 나눌 수 있다. 감마선을 검출하는 G-M 검출기는 그 특징으로 인해 방사선검출 전기회로가 간단하다. 그러나 열중성자를 검출하는 He-3 검출기는 검출기에서 발생하는 신호원이 매우 작아서 검출회로의 상호 간섭으로 인한 전기적 잡음이 발생한다 이 잡음을 제거하는 것이 He-3 중성자 검출기로 열중성자를 검출하는데 중요한 문제이다. 본 연구에서 제작하는 RI 계기는 원자력법에서 제한하는 방사능 이하를 (100$\mu$Ci 의 밀봉선원) 사용하므로 종래의 RI 계기에 비해 방사선의 검출수가 줄어든다. 이에 따라 검출기의 개수를 늘려서 방사선을 검출해야 한다. 또한 본 연구에서는 He-3검출기의 검출 스펙트럼을 분석하여 적정한 방사선 검출 측정영역을 결정하였다.

In this work, We evaluate the performance of eigencanceller which can suppress directional interferences and noise effectively while maintaining specified beam pattern constraints. The constraints and optimal weight vector of eigencanceller vary by using interference and noise or desired signal, interference and noise as array input signal. From the analysis results in the steady state, We show that weight vectors in each case are simplified the form of projection equation that belongs to desired subspace orthogonal to interference subspace and eigencanceller has the better performance than DMI method through mathematical analysis and simulation.

In this paper, peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with respect to the subchannel coding schemes for interchannel interference (ICI) self-cancellation is analyzed. It is shown theoretically and experimentally that a shaping component is generated in the transmitted sequence in the conventional correlative coding where a pair of antipodal signals is assigned in adjacent subchannels. Due to the shaping component, the signal powers in the mid and edges of a symbol are scaled by different weighting coefficients, resulting in increased PAPR. To overcome this problem a simple adjacent subchannel coding scheme is presented in this paper. In the new scheme, the shaping component caused by partial repetition of signals is eliminated by assigning a pair of signals in which phase difference varies signal-to-signal. As results, the new scheme has 2-3 dB smaller PAPR than the conventional ICI self-cancellation OFDM while maintaining much higher carrier-to-interference ratio than a normal OFDM system.

In OFDMA-based cellular system, inter-cell interference (ICI) reduces system capacity by aggravating receiving performance of the users located in edge of the cell. Therefore, to mitigate ICI is very important issue in cellular system. To deal with ICI problem, fractional frequency reuse (FFR) is introduced. FFR is an interference management technique. It separates each cell into inner cell and outer cell. Then, it allocates whole system bandwidth to inner cell and different frequency partition to each sector of outer cell. By doing this, outer cell users can ignore interferences from adjacent cells. So, the receiving performance of the cell edge users can be fairly increased. However, using FFR technique has a fatal side effect. In order to use different frequency partition among three sectors of outer cell, they can use only a third of the whole system bandwidth. Then, the reduction of available bandwidth reduces the system throughput directly. To solve this problem, we propose a new FFR method that allocates partially overlapped frequency partition to each sector of outer cell. And then, we suggest a proper overlapping ratio for practical cellular system.

In this paper, we propose the adaptive multibeamforming algorithm to remove the same subcarrier interference and multipath signals in the MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Out)-OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Access)system allocated the same subcarrier partially in order to improve spectrum efficiency. In addition to removing the interference, we can get diversity gain and combat the detriment of the performance according to time delay by the proposed approach. BER performance improvement and combating the delay spread detrimental effects of the proposed approach is investigated through computer simulation by applying it to MIMO-OFDMA.

OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 시스템은 유효심볼의 뒷부분 일부를 복사하여 유효심볼 이전에 미리 전송하는 보호구간을 이용하여 다중경로에 의한 왜곡을 줄일 수 있다. 그러나, 유효심볼의 시작점을 정확히 판단하더라도 열악한 다중경로 또는 프리-고스트(pre-ghost) 채널의 영향으로 인해 심볼간 간섭(inter-symbol interference)이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 다중경로 환경하의 기존 시스템에서 발생하던 심볼간 간섭을 제거할 수 있는 프레임 선택 알고리듬을 제안한다. 프레임 선택 알고리듬은 FFT 입력으로 유효심볼의 뒤 알부 대신 보호구간의 일부를 사용한다. FFT 입력으로 사용된 보호구간내 교체구간은 다중경로 환경에 따라 달라져야 하는데, 교체구간 판단을 위한 네 가지 알고리듬도 소개한다. 제안한 알고리듬을 DVB-T(digital video broadcasting-terrestrial) 시스템에 적용한 모의실험을 통하여 3 dB 이상의 성능향상을 얻을 수 있다.
