In this paper, the derivation of protection ratio is newly proposed for the detailed planning of frequency coordination in microwave relay networks, and computed results for protection ratio of co-channel and adjacent channel are illustrated over the actual system and its frequency. It is shown that the suggested method based upon availability prediction can be expressed in terms of composite fade margin, interference-to-noise ratio(I/N), net filter discrimination, and system parameters. According to results, for 6.7 GHz, 60 km, 64-QAM, and I/N= -6 dB at BER $10^{-6}$, composite fade margin and co-channel protection ratio provide 25.5 and 50.7 dB, respectively. Also, net filter discrimination and adjacent channel protection ratio are obtained as 26.3 and 24.4 dB, respectively, at the first adjacent channel of 40 MHz. The proposed method provides some merits in computing protection ratio for microwave relay networks in view of an easy extension and practical applications considering more detailed and various system parameters.

본 논문에서는 빠르게 변화하는 이동 무선 채널 환경에서 심각한 성능 저하를 일으키는 인접 심볼 간섭(Inter-symbol interference: ISI)에 대처하기 위해 MLSE(Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimztion) 등화기의 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 기존의 MLSE 등화기는 비터비 알고리즘으로 어느 정도 계산량을 감소시켰지만, 정확한 채널 임펄스 응답을 필요로 하기 때문에, 시변 채널에서의 복잡한 채널 추정이 그 문제점으로 남아 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서, 간단하고 향상된 칼만 필터 기반의 채널 추정기를 새롭게 제안하여 MLSE의 복잡성을 줄였다. 또한, 복잡한 채널 추정을 대신하여 페이딩 채널을 거쳐 수신된 데이터를 클러스터로 매핑하여 클러스터 중심 추정을 이용한 1-D CBSE(1-Dimensional Clustering-based Sequence Equalizer) 알고리즘에, 최소 길이를 지닌 훈련 시퀀스를 제안하여 개선된 1-D CBSE을 이용한 MLSE 등화 성능을 보여주었다.

In cellular mobile radio systems with frequency reuse, the interference signals degrade the channel estimation and signal detection performance due to the low signal-to-interference ratio near coverage boundaries. When the preamble pilot sequences from different cells are orthogonal or located in disjointed positions, they can be used for multi-cell channel estimation and interference cancellation. In time-varying channels caused by Doppler spread, data pilot symbols are needed for channel estimations. However, data pilot symbols are usually located in identical positions for the overhead reduction, which degrades the channel estimation performance. In this paper, we demonstrate a significant amount of performance improvement is achieved by multiplying different pseudonoise(PN) sequences to the data pilot symbols from adjacent interference cells. In particular, for detection scheme using maximal ratio combining(MRC) and inter-cell spatial demultiplexing(ISD), quantitative performance gain of spectral efficiency for different values of Doppler frequency and interference power is presented.

Liquid Injection Nozzle(LIN) tube and Calandria tube(CT) in pressurized Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR) are .ross-aligned horizontally. These neighboring tubes can contact each other due to the sag of the calandria tube resulting from the irradiation creep and thermal creep, and fuel load, etc. In order to judge the contact which might be the safety concern, the remote field eddy current (RFEC) technology is applied for the gap measurement in this paper. LIN can be detected by inserting the RFEC probe into pressure tube (PT) at the crossing point directly. To obtain the optimal conditions of the RFEC inspection, the sensitivity, penetration and noise signals are considered simultaneously. The optimal frequency and coil spacing are 1kHz and 200mm respectively. Possible noises during LIN signal acquisition are caused by lift-off, PT thickness variation, and gap variation between PT and CT. The simulated noise signals were investigated by the Volume Integral Method(VIM). Signal analysis on the voltage plane describes the amplitude and shape of LIN and possible defects at several frequencies. All the RFEC measurements in the laboratory were done in variance with the CT/LIN gap and showed the relationship between the LIN gap and the signal parameters by analyzing the voltage plane signals.

광대역 무선 통신 시스템에서는 주파수 선택적 다중경로 페이딩 채널상에서 발생하는 인접 심볼간의 간섭에 의한 성능 열화를 극복하기 위해서 채널 등화 기술의 도입이 필연적이다. 그러나, 데이터 전송률이 증가함에 따라 채널 등화에 필요한 훈련열의 길이가 늘어나고, 이로 인한 오버헤드를 감소하기 위해서는 보다 수렴률이 높은 적응 알고리즘이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 주파수 영역의 적응 여파 기법 중의 하나인 자기 직교환 방식의 결정궤환 등화기를 고려한다. 이 채널 등화기에서는 적응 알고리즘으로 DCT-LMS (discrete cosine transform least mean square) 알고리즘을 채택함으로써 수렴률과 MSE (mean square error) 성능을 향상시켜 결과적으로 광대역 무선통신에서 요구되는 훈련열에 따른 오버헤드를 감소시킬 수 있게 된다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 주파수 선택적 다중경로 페이딩 채널에서의 제안된 채널 등화 기법에 대한 성능을 분석한다.

이 논문에서는 계층변조를 적용하는 AT-DMB (advanced terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting) 시스템을 위한 자력 채널추정 기법을 제시하고 그 성능을 살펴본다. AT-DMB 시스템은 기존 T-DMB 시스템과의 호환성을 유지하기 데이터 전송채널의 경우 DQPSK 변조를 적용한 각 신호점을 다시 QPSK 변조하는 16-QAM 계층변조 방식을 적용한다. 또 프레임의 동기신호 및 정보채널은 기존 T-DMB 신호와 동일하게 유지한다. 이 신호들을 이용하여 자력 추정을 위한 채널의 초기치를 계산한다. 데이터 신호에 대해서는 일단 판정궤환 모드를 적용하여 채널을 추정한 후 시간 및 주파수 영역에서 인접 심볼 및 부반송파에 걸쳐 평균을 취함으로써 잡음의 영향을 감소시킨다. 모의실험을 통해 제시한 자력 채널추정 방식의 성능을 살펴본다.

When a primary user transmits over some frequency band assigned to it, most of its transmission power tends to be concentrated in the band but a small portion of it spreads into the adjacent bands. Thus the false alarm probability for the adjacent bands can be higher than expected, even though no primary users are active in the bands. A previous work evaluated the effects of the adjacent channel leakage on the performance of an energy detection based spectrum sensing but it did not take into account the fading phenomenon. In this paper, we analyze the effects of the adjacent channel leakage on an energy detection based spectrum sensing scheme in terms of detection probability and false alarm probability in a fading environment.

In this paper, we propose coordinated scheduling and beamforming based on limited feedback to overcome the effects of inter-cell interference in multi-cell environment. The goal of this study is to improve a performance of cell-edge area significantly affected by the inter-cell interference and also to guarantee a performance of the entire system. Existing coordinated scheduling and beamforming based on the perfect channel state information generates an overhead for the channel state information feedback and exchange at the users and base stations, respectively. In this study, first we propose a novel codebook to obtain a null space of an interference channel efficiently which can be used to reduce the inter-cell interference. Using the proposed codebook, we propose coordinated scheduling and beamforming to improve the performance of cell-edge area and the entire system. Through the proportional fair scheduling, the performance of the proposed technique is shown as improvement of channel capacity for users located cell-edge area and entire system.

In this paper, a two-dimensional (2-D) channel code for magnetic patterned media is proposed. Patterned media records an information bit on a magnetized dot. Since the space between adjacent tracks is narrow in order to increase the storage density, inter-track interference (ITI) and inter-symbol interference (ISI) can be problems. The amplitude of a bit signal can be corrupted by the 2-D ISI. The signal of the bit surrounded by the same value can be especially destructive, i.e. when its value is the same as the values of the eight surrounding bits. The proposed modulation coding scheme improves the decoding performance of patterned media by preventing this worst case and provides a better code rate than conventional channel codes.

Eureka 747 DAB 시스템의 혼신보호비는 AM, FM, PAL, SECAM, DAB 등의 동일채널 및 인접채널 간섭원에 대한 조사가 수행되었으나, NTSC TV 간섭원에 대해서는 분석되지 않았다. Eureka 141 DAB 시스템 대부분이 TV 대역인 Band III에서 운용되는 상황을 고려한다면, NTSC TV 간섭원에 대한 혼신보호비 분석은 반드시 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 Eureka 147 DAB 시스템과 아날로그 NTSC TV 시스템간의 혼신보호비중 NTSC TV 간섭원에 대한 Eureka 147 DAB 시스템의 혼신보호비 측정을 위한 간섭환경 설정방법 및 DAB송수신기를 이용한 BER 측정방법, 그리고 측정결과를 제시한다.
