This paper proposed an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based biomimetic communication method using a dolphin whistle which covertly transmits communication signals to allies. The proposed method divides the dolphin whistle into several time slots corresponding to a number of OFDM symbols, and modulates the communication signal by mapping differential phase shift keying (DPSK) symbols into subcarriers that have the frequency bands of the dolphin whistle in each slot. The advantages of the proposed method are as follows: In the conventional Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) and Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) based biomimetic communication methods, the discontinuity of the frequency contour is large, but the proposed method can reduce the discontinuity. Even if the modulation order is increased, the degradation of the mimicking performance is small. The computer simulations demonstrate that the Bit Error Rate (BER) and mimicking performance of the proposed method are better performance than those of the conventional CSS and FSK.

In this paper, Mixer using the direct-conversion method intended to use in front-end of a RF receiver is designed. The direct conversion Mixer is an alternative wireless receiver architecture to the well-established superheterodyne, particularly for high integration, low power, and low cost. It operates at 2.4GHz band, and is designed and simulated with a 0.35um CMOS technology and HSPICE simulator. Layout is implemented with a Mentor IC Station. The 2.4GHz CMOS Mixer employs a modified single-balanced Gilbert Cell with additional MOSFET in the output stages to improve IIP2, which is a standard of linearity in direct conversion receiver. Additional coversion-stages's transconductances are controlled by each MOSFET's physical properties. The HSPICE simulation results show that the 2.4GHz CMOS Mixer has voltage gam of 29dB, IIP2 of 63dBm, respectively. The Mixer also draws 3.5mA from a 3.3V supply.

In this paper, the multichannel intermediate frequency transceiver for broadband multimedia system is designed and the experimental results are analyzed. Basic elements of the transceiver such as frequency synthesizer, amplifier, mixer, automatic gain control amplifier are introduced. The analysis technique described here applies not only to amplifier but also to any other nonlinear components such as mixers and frequency doubler. Through the investigation of the power spectrum density of the transmitted signal, the phase noise of the local oscillator is evaluated below 70 dBc/kHz. The frequency characteristics of the modulated signal is flat within the system bandwidth. Also the effects of adjacent channel interference and supurious emission are analyzed. And the function of automatic gain control amplifier is well operated.

In this paper, we propose an efficient method to allocate carrier frequencies so as to minimize intermodulation products in two-level SCPC systems in which Hub station and many Remote stations communicate each other through the satellite transponder. Also we present a very efficient method to evaluate intermodulation products with highly reduced CPU time in two-level SCPC systems. We study and analyze the performance of some possible methods to extend the Deletion and Insertion operation, which is proposed by Okinaka and applied to only one-level SCPC systems, to two-level SCPC systems. The proposed algorithm is carefully selected out of these methods and is optimized, which shows superior performance to any other published strategies, especially in that it has very excellent characteristics in terms of generality for practical application. Considering the fact that most published strategies are seldom applicable to actual two-level SCPC systems, we can say that the proposed algorithm in this paper is quite meaningful.

In this paper, we present the Modulator Channel Card and VLSI chip for the Radio Transceiver Unit (RTU) of direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) Wireless Local Loop (WLL) System. The Modulator Channel Card is designed and implemented using ASIC's, FPGA's and DSP's. The ASIC, compliance with Common Air Interface specification proposed by ETRI, has 40K gates which is designed to operate at 32MHz, and is fabricated using $0.6\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS process. The ASIC carries out for I- or Q- phase data channel signal processing at a time, where each data channel processing consists of channel coding, block interleaving, scrambling, Walsh modulation, Pseudo-Noise (PN) spreading, and baseband filtering. The Modulator Channel Card has been integrated as a part of RTU of WLL system and is confirmed that it meets all functional and performance requirements.

For long-range communication in deep water, low carrier frequency is efficient due to a decrease in transmission loss. However, there is a limitation in that the data rate decreases due to a narrow bandwith. In order to increase the data rate in an environment with a limited bandwidth, it is necessary to design a higher-order modulation scheme. This paper analyzes the long-range communication data modulated by higher-order modulation schemes. The long-range communication experiment (23 km ~) was conducted in East Sea in October 2020. During the experiment, a vertical line array was utilized and communication sequences were modulated by Phase Shift Keying (PSK) and Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) schemes and transmitted by a towed source. In more detail, PSK modulation consists of quadrature PSK and 8PSK, QAM modulation consists of 8QAM and 16QAM. Time reversal processing is applied to mitigate inter-symbol interference by utilizing the correlation between received signals and channel impulse responses. All modulation schemes show successful results at 23 km range, demonstrating the feasibility of higher-order modulation in long-range communication.

최근 3D HDTV에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 우리나라에서도 3D HDTV 표준을 제정하기 위한 준비가 이루어지고 있으며, 이와 같은 흐름에 맞추어 기존의 ATSC 전송 방식을 확장한 전송 방식이 연구되고 있다. 확장된 ATSC 전송 방식은 지상파 3D HDTV 방송을 목표로 하고, 프레임 구조를 중국의 지상파 방송 표준인 DMB-T와 유사하게 PN 시컨스와 데이터가 연속되는 구조로 모델링하여 이용하고자 한다. 연구되고 있는 확장한 전송방식은 기존의 ATSC 시스템의 VSB 변조방식을 기반으로 한다. 그러므로 원활한 수신을 위해서는 반송파 주파수 오차(심볼속도 대비 최대 1%)를 정확하게 추정하고 복구하여야 한다. 기존 ATSC 시스템은 주파수 대역(DC 1.25V)의 파일럿 신호를 이용하여 반송파 주파수 복구를 하였지만, 확장된 ATSC 시스템은 프레임 헤드 부분인 PN 시컨스를 이용한다. 본 논문에서는 확장된 ATSC 전송 시스템 방식에 적용 가능한 반송파 주파수 복구 방식을 제안하였다.

현재 방송중계용으로 쓰이는 주파수대는 3~30GHz의 M/W 대역이다. 그러나 갈수록 늘어나는 서비스와 전송용량의 증대로 인해 주파수 부족현상이 일어나는 추세이다. 이에 대안 방안으로 주파수 재배치에 관하여 대두가 되고 있다. 이동방송 중계용 링크인 FPU 링크는 차후 다른 주파수 대역으로 이전시 이러한 링크에서 사용되었던 시스템 제원을 토대로 필요한 대역에 대한 다양한 변조방식으로 먼저 시뮬레이션 평가 후 이용채널 개수 및 이전 가능 여부 둥과 같은 조치가 수행되어져야 한다. 본 논문에서는 M/W대역의 주파수를 이용한 서비스 중의 하나인 이동전송용 중계방송시스템인 FPU(Field Pick Up)시스템을 구현하고 무선채널에서 영상을 전송하였을 때의 성능을 PSNR, BER의 특성을 통하여 평가하였다. 전송되는 데이터는 실제 동영상(320$\times$240 61frame)을 동영상 압축방식 중 하나인 MPEG을 이용하여 압축하고, 압축된 영상 정보를 무선 채널상에 전송하였을 때 복원된 영상을 분석하였다.
