Monopulse RADAR is the radar which detects the range of the target using a single transmitted signal. In this paper, using 9.41GHz X-band radar, the research for the phase comparison monopulse algorithm used in the marine environment is conducted. In addition, by applying the phase comparison monopulse algorithm, we calculate the RMSE for the various antenna spacings and the positions of the target. Based on that result, we compare the performance of the phase comparison monopulse algorithm in the uniform linear array with that in the non-uniform linear array. Finally, the differences in performance among the MUSIC algorithm, Bartlett method and the proposed phase comparison monopulse algorithm are analyzed.

Consistent and realistic error covariance information is important for position estimation, error analysis, fault detection, and integer ambiguity resolution for differential GNSS. In designing a position domain carrier-smoothed-code filter where incremental carrier phases are used for time-propagation, formulation of consistent error covariance information is not easy due to being bounded and temporal correlation of propagation noises. To provide consistent and correct error covariance information, this paper proposes two recursive filter algorithms based on carrier-smoothed-code techniques: (a) the stepwise optimal position projection filter and (b) the stepwise unbiased position projection filter. A Monte-Carlo simulation result shows that the proposed filter algorithms actually generate consistent error covariance information and the neglection of carrier phase noise induces optimistic error covariance information. It is also shown that the stepwise unbiased position projection filter is attractive since its performance is good and its computational burden is moderate.

In this paper, we present a carrier recovery circuit using the polarity-decision algorithm that recovers a phase and a frequency error simultaneously. The proposed algorithm catches a frequency error based on a differential of an angular velocity of the signal constellations. Using the differential of a phase error may compensate the frequency error. The symbol prediction method in the proposed algorithm accumulates the symbols, which makes easy to calculate a phase differential. The hardware size of the algerian is small since we use Q data or I only to get phase information. As a result, the algerian shows a pull-in range of normalized frequency error 0.5 under AWGN 15dB.

This paper investigates a new sensorless control appling a virtual flux oriented vector control without the line voltage sensor for the power factor correction of 3 phase PWM converter. The DC output voltage is controlled by applying the kalman filter algorithm for the virtual flux estimation and the synchronous phase is obtained by using the estimated virtual flux equation based on kalman filter. This method is used to reduce the calculation time of the system and obtain a stable control that the input current including the harmonics and the noise is improved. The proposed system implement PFC algorithm in the variable region of DC output voltage. It can obtain the unity power factor, and can precisely control the DC output voltage in the load variation and in the variable voltage range. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified through simulation and experiment.

In this paper, we proposed and implemented a quality measurement algorithm for IS-95 reverse-link signal. To measure the quality of the received signal, equalization, carrier frequency/phase offset estimation, and timing synchronization are essential. And, all signal processing are carried out with baseband signal. The equalizer works with 4-oversampled samples to remove ICI(InterChip Interference). The frequency/phase offset estimator is followed by timing synchronizer since it can work without aid of data and timing information. As the number of interpolation in timing synchronization increases, the measurement accuracy improves, but computation load increases simultaneously. Therefore, one need to choose adequately the number of interpolation regarding to the platform performance to be used for the proposed algorithm.

MRI 스캔시 화상평면내에서 촬상대상물체의 회전은 MRI 신호에 위상오차와 불균일 표본화를 일으킨다. MRI 신호의 위상오차와 불균일 표본화에 대한 문제의 모델은 화상평면내 임의 중심과 원점에 관한 회전운동에 의해 열화된 MRI 신호들사이에 위상차가 존재함을 나타낸다. 이에 아티팩트가 포함된 MR 화상의 화질을 개선하기위해서 다음과 같은 방법을 제안한다. 우선, 2차원 회전운동의 회전각은 이미 알려져 있고, 회전중심의 위치가 미지인 경우에 대해 위상보정에 기초한 아티팩트를 보정하는 알고리즘과, 다음으로, 회전중심과 각도가 모두 미지인 2차원 회전운동에 대해 아티팩트를 보정하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이때, 미지 운동 파라메타를 예측하기위해 촬상대상물체의 경계바깥쪽에서 이상적인 MR 화상의 에너지는 최소가 되고, 촬상대상물체의 회전이 존재할 때 측정된 에너지는 증가한다는 성질을 이용한다. 이러한 성질을 이용해서 각 위상부호화 단계에서 미지의 회전각 크기를 추정하기위한 평가함수가 도입된다. 최종적으로 시뮬레이션 화상 및 실제화상에 적용해서 제안한 본 방법의 유효성을 확인한다.

Underwater acoustic communication has multipath error because of reflection by sea-level and sea-bottom. The multipath of underwater channel causes signal distortion and error floor. In this paper, in order to design an efficient packet structure, we employ channel coding scheme and phase recovery algorithm. For channel coding scheme, half rate LDPC channel coding scheme with N=1944 and K=972 was used. Also, decision directed phase recovery was used for correcting phase offset induced by multipath. Based on these algorithms, we propose length of data for optimal packet structure in the environment of oceanic experimentation.

This In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for motion estimation of the image sequences with luminance fluctuation. For such sequences, conventional motion estimation methods based on the difference of pixel values usually produce the erroneous motion information. The proposed algorithm defines the luminance fluctuation as a linear model with gain and offset parameter, and extracts motion information using gradient and phase of the corresponding local region within consecutive frames. Therefor the method is robust to the luminance change of the frames. We test our algorithm for the ground truth sequence with artificially added luminance change and motion, and real sequences corrupted by the flicker. The results shows that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional methods.

Phase variance of the acoustic signals has to be investigated with the research of the medium, because the phase of the acoustic signals carries the information of the medium. The phase compensation of the received signals is required for the signal processing of SAS (Synthetic Aperture Sonar) and underwater communication. In this paper, the phase variance of the acoustic signals was studied depending on the micro-scale-turbulence of ocean. The turbulence strength of the locally isotropic and homogeneous turbulence was calculated, and the phase variance affected by the turbulence strength was computed along the ray paths. The CTD and ADCP data were acquired from a buoy system near the Mukho port in the East Sea of Korea and the ray paths were calculated by the Bellhop algorithm. As a result, the turbulence strength was mainly determined by the variation of temperature and flow speed, changing the phase variance of the received signals. Hence, we thought the phase variance should be considered in the sonar operating system.
