This paper introduces a fixed radio-relay link design simulator with which we can select the station site and the frequency and can predict the performance of the radio-relay links. The simulator analyzes the path profile, the fading effects, the availability, the rain attenuation and the interference of the cosidered radio path using the digital terrain data and the rain intensity data. The calculation algorithms used in this simulator are mostly from the recommendations of the ITU-R. All the modules of the simulator are performed in full GUI mode and the input and output parameters are displayed interactively. This simulator could be used to the fixed radio-relay link design and the LMDS design.

In this paper, we analyze the outage probability of full duplex relay (FDR) with decode-and-forward (DF) protocol is derived under fading channels. The fading channel for source-relay link is assumed to be Rician fading to consider the infrastructured fixed relay with line of sight (LOS) propagation, and the other fading channels are assumed to be Rayleigh fading. Based on this analytical result, we provide the criterion that FDR shows a lower outage probability than HDR to consider the interference problem and the resource efficiency improvement by full duplex (FD) operation. The accuracy of the analysis is confirmed throughout the simulation results.

In mobile environments, their is more than one propagation path between each transceiver and Receiver have two or more delayed multipath signals. Delayed multipath signals can cause ISI and Receiver needs a adaptive algorithm to estimate a channel periodically. Also adaptive antenna using adaptive algorithm provide a significant increase in capacity, performance and coverage. This paper describes various LMS algorithm and evaluate the performance of array antenna Base station by using LMS algorithm in the presence of multipath signals and multiple users. As a result of simulation, Adaptive array antenna systems are able to adjust their antenna pattern to select desired signals, and reduce interference.

AIS(Automatic Identification System)는 선박과 육상 및 선박 상호간에 선박의 항행관련 정보를 상호 교환함으로써 안전항해를 제고하기 위하여 도입된 무선설비로서 그 활용도가 매우 높아지고 있으며 AIS 탑재 선박도 증가하고 있다. 그러나 AIS에서 사용하고 있는 초단파의 전파 특성으로 인하여 비교적 근거리 통신만 가능하고 장거리 선박추적 관리를 위한 용도로 활용하는 데는 어려움이 있었다. 이러한 통신권의 한계를 극복하기 위한 방안으로 저궤도 위성을 사용하는 위성 AIS의 도입에 대한 연구가 주요 선진국을 중심으로 추진되고 있으며, 성능을 제고하기 위한 기술 기준 연구도 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 저궤도 위성을 사용한 AIS의 문제점인 메시지 수신확률을 분석하기 위하여 현재 사용 중인 지상파 AIS의 특성 및 저궤도 위성 AIS의 문제점을 분석하고 메시지 수신확률에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 그 결과를 분석하였다. 분석결과 위성 AIS는 지상파 AIS에 비하여 통신권이 크게 확대되는 반면 채널 용량의 한계 및 채널간 간섭으로 인하여 AIS 메시지 충돌이 심하게 발생하고 메시지 수신 확률이 매우 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 현재의 지상파 AIS 표준을 적용한 위성 AIS의 실시간 정보 교환은 사실상 불가능하며 위성 AIS의 메시지 수신 확률을 제고하기 위해서는 위성 AIS를 위한 별도의 표준을 제정할 필요가 있음을 알 수 있다.

This paper presents the analytic derivation of the SINR, when a linear array antenna is accommodated into the cellular CDMA basestation receiver, in relation to the two major performance effecting factors in beamforming(BF) applications, i. e., the direction selectivity, which refers to the narrowness of the mainbeam width, and the direction-of-arrival(DOA) estimation accuracy. The analytically derived results are compared with the operation simulation of the receiver realized with the several BF algorithms and their agreements are confirmed, consequently verifying the correctness of the analysis and the operation simulation. In order to investigate separately the effects of the errors occurring in the direction estimation and in the interference suppression, which are the two major functional components of general BF algorithms, both the algorithms of steering BF and the minimum- variance- distortionless-response(MVDR) BF are applied to the analysis. A signal model to reflect the spatially scattering phenomenon of the RF waves entering into the .:nay antenna, which directly affects on the accuracy of the BF algorithm's direction estimation, is also suggested in this paper and applied to the analysis and the operation simulation. It is confirmed from the results that the enhancement of the direction selectivity of the away antenna is not desirable in view of both the implementation economy and the BF algorithm's robustness to the erroneous factors. Such a trade-off characteristics is significant in the sense that it can be capitalized to obtain an economic means of BF implementation that does not severely deteriorate its performance while ensuring the robustness to the erroneous effects, consequently manifesting the significance of the analysis results of this paper that can be used as a design reference in developing BF algorithms to the cellular CDMA system.

This paper include to study DoA(Direction of Arrival) for radio collection and monitoring system. The direction finding calculated by applying the CVDF (Correlation Vector Direction Finding) algorithm for the five circular dipole antenna over V / UHF band. To improve the accuracy of direction finding by applying CVDF algorithm needs to obtain ideal phase difference each antennas. However, a circular array antenna phase difference pattern may be distorted on a specific frequency band or to particular direction. The effect of installing each array antennas circularly and the effect of the interference of center pole (located in the center of a circular array antenna mount) may make the distortion of phase pattern. If you use an active antenna instead of passive antenna to obtain good sensitivity, you would measure the more distortion. This paper propose how to change combination of antennas to measure the phase in real-time and how to use antenna beam patterns for minimizing the degradation phenomena at applying simple CVDF algorithm and increasing the direction finding capability.

Strong radar returns were observed in oyster sea farms, and coherent interferometric pairs were successfully constructed. Tide height in coastal area is possible to be measured by using interferometric phase and intensity of SAR data. This SAR application technique for measuring the tide height in the near coastal zone can be further improved when applied to double bounce dominant areas. In this paper, we investigate the characteristics of polarimetric signature in the oyster farm structures. Laboratory experiments were carried out using Ku-band according to the target scale. Radar returns from vertical poles are stronger than those from horizontal Pole by 10.5 dB. Single bounce components were as strong as double bounce components and more sensitive to antenna look direction. Double bounce components show quasi-linear relation with the height of vertical poles, which implies double bounce is more useful to determine water level than total power. A L-band NASA/IPL airborne SAR (AIRSAR) image was classified into single-, double-bounce, and volume scattering components. It is observed that oyster farms are not always characterized by double bounced scattering. Double bounce is a main scattering mechanism in oyster farms standing above seawater, while single bounce is stronger than double bounce when bottom tidal flats are exposed to air. Ratios of the normalized single to double bounce components in the former and latter cases were 0.46 and 5.62, respectively. It is necessary to use double bounce dominant sea farms for tide height measurement by DInSAR technique.

This paper presents a comparison of communication performance between the reconfigurable beam-steering antenna and the omni-directional (loop) antenna during standstill and walking motion. Both omni-directional and reconfigurable antennas were manufactured on the same fabric (${\varepsilon}_r=1.35$, $tqn{\delta}=0.02$) substrate and operated around 5 GHz band. The reconfigurable antenna was designed to steer the beam directions. To implement the beam-steering capability, the antenna used two PIN diodes. The measured peak gains were 5.9-6.6 dBi and the overall half power beam width (HPBW) was $102^{\circ}$. In order to compare the communication efficiency, both the bit error rate (BER) and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) were measured using a GNU Radio Companion software tool and user software radio peripheral (USRP) devices. The measurement were performed when both antennas were standstill and walking motion in an antenna chamber as well as in a smart home environment. From these results, the performances of the reconfigurable beam steering antenna outperformed that of the loop antenna. In addition, in terms of communication efficiencies, in an antenna chamber was better than in a smart home environment. In terms of movement of antennas, standstill state has better results than walking motion state.
