Since LIDAR is advantageous for accurate information acquisition and realization of a high-resolution 3D image based on characteristics that can be precisely measured, it is essential to autonomous navigation systems that require acquisition and judgment of accurate peripheral information without user intervention. Recently, as an autonomous navigation system applying LIDAR has been utilized in human living space, it is necessary to solve the eye-safety problem, and to make reliable judgment through accurate obstacle recognition in various environments. In this paper, we construct a single-shot LIDAR system (SSLs) using a 1550-nm eye-safe light source, and report the analysis method and results of LIDAR signals for various measurement environments, reflective materials, and material angles. We analyze the signals of materials with different reflectance in each measurement environment by using a 5% Al reflector and a building wall located at a distance of 25 m, under indoor, daytime, and nighttime conditions. In addition, signal analysis of the angle change of the material is carried out, considering actual obstacles at various angles. This signal analysis has the merit of possibly confirming the correlation between measurement environment, reflection conditions, and LIDAR signal, by using the SNR to determine the reliability of the received information, and the timing jitter, which is an index of the accuracy of the distance information.

Satellite communication systems including the DVB-S2 (Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite Version 2) system require operations under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and large frequency offset values, and the initial frame synchronization process necessitates a robust correlation method. While a variety of conventional correlation structures exist for the initial synchronization, each method has different characteristics and performance in different channel environments. In this paper, we propose new correlation methods which exhibit enhanced performance in low SNR and large frequency offsets, and analyze their performance. The proposed methods use the magnitude sum and vector sum of extended differential correlation values, to maximize the correlation between the received signal and the synchronization sequence by using the spanned differential correlation result. The magnitude sum correlation method has better performance compared to conventional methods including the approximated ML (Maximum likelihood) method for SNR values below 4 dB with or without frequency offsets. The vector sum correlation method has improved performance over the magnitude sum method for channels with relatively small frequency offsets.

This paper proposes a noise cancelling algorithm to remove own-ship noise for a towed array sonar. Extra beamforming is performed using partial channels of the acoustic array to get a reference beam signal robust to the noise bearing. Frequency domain Adaptive Noise Cancelling (ANC) is applied based on Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS) algorithm using the reference beam. The bearing of own-ship noise is estimated from the coherence between the reference beam and input beam signals. Own-ship noise level is calculated using a beampattern of the noise with estimated steering angle, which prevents loss of a target signal by determining whether to update a filter so that removed signal level does not exceed the estimated noise level. Simulation results show the proposed algorithm maintains its performance when the own-ship gets out off its bearing 40 % more than the conventional algorithm's limit and detects the target even when the frequency of the target signal is same with the frequency of the own-ship signal.

The Satellite Electro-Optic Payload System needsspecial requirements with the conditions of limited power consumption and the space environment of solar radiation. The acquired image quality should be mainly depend on the GSD (Ground Sampled Distance), SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio), and MTF (Modulation Transfer Function). On the well-manufactured sensor level, the thermal noise is removed on ASP (Analog Signal Processing) using the CDS (Corrective Double Sampling); the noise signal from the image sensor can be reduced from the offset signals based on the pre-pixels and the dark-pixels. The non-uniformity shall be corrected with gain, offset, and correction parameter of the image sensor pixel characteristic on the sensor control system. This paper describes the SNR enhancement method of the satellite EOS payload using the mentioned noise remove processes on the system design and operation, which is verified by tests and simulations.

본 논문은 3D-HDTV 지상파 방송을 위한 분산송신 기반 단일 주파수 방송망 내 송신안테나 위치에 따른 송신신호 전력분포를 분석하였다. 분산송신 기반 단일 주파수 방송망 구조는 하나의 주 송신안테나와 3개의 부 송신 안테나로 구성되어 있어 수신기가 방송망 내 어느 위치에 있더라도 최소 2개 이상의 송신신호를 수신할 수 있다. 이러한 방송망 구조는 송신 안테나들이 지역적으로 배치되어 있기 때문에 공간 다이버시티를 획득 할 수 있다. 그러나 거리에 따른 송신신호 전력 감쇠 때문에 방송망 내 수신기 위치에 따라 수신 SNR이 변화하게 된다. 시스템 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 단일 주파수 방송망 내 송신전력 분포 분석을 통하여 안정적인 데이터 수신율을 보장하기 위해 적용 가능한 데이터 송신기법에 대해 고찰하였다.

Conventional beamforming is ineffective in producing directional information in system with sparse degree of the freedom such as DIFAR (DIrectional Frequency Analysis and Recording) sonobuoy and in the presence of high directional noise. In this paper, Adaptive beamforming techniques are applied to produce directional spectra from a small number of sensors in highly directional noise environment. Conventional method as well as minimum variance and eigenvectors as adaptive method are evaluated via numerical test and real data.

In this paper, we proposed the novel digital watermarking for color still image using the characteristics of human visual system and the distribution of DCT coefficients. We insert watermark signal in the chromatic components of YCrCb color space according the characteristics of the human visual system that chromatic component are less sensitive than achromatic components. In order to extract the watermark signal, we use the relationship among the DCT coefficients of watermarked image without using original one. Simulation results show that the proposed watermarking method is better quality on invisibility than the conventional methods.

A synchronization method is presented for IEEE 802.11a wireless OFDM system. First the coarse symbol synchronization is achieved by measuring the moving power average of the received envelope signal. The detection probabilities and optimum thresholds for the symbol synchronization are derived. By measuring the correlation between the short training signal and received envelope signal, fine symbol synchronization can be acquired. And the frequency synchronization is achieved using long training signal. A symbol synchronization error causes a phase rotation of the constellation. After the compensation for fading channel, the rotation due to the symbol timing error can be corrected. With this method, synchronization can be well achieved over frequency selective channels.

This paper proposes, based on a bandpass sampling theory, a novel method to find valid sampling frequency range and minimum sampling rate with low computational complexity for downconversion of multiple bandpass radio frequency (RF) signals. Guard-bands or spacing between adjacent downconverted signal spectrums are also taken into consideration in determining sampling frequency for practical implementation. Moreover, we verify through comparison with other method that the proposed method has more advantageous properties.
