수중운동 추적체계의 추적 성능은 표적에 부착된 핑거로부터의송신음향이 수중센서에 도달하기 까지의 시지연과, 해저에 부설된 각 센서가 시지연을 이용하여 기하학적으로 계산하는 LOP를 얼마나 정확하게 추출하느냐에 달려있다. 본 논문에ㅓ는 수중운동 추출하느냐에 달려있다. 본 논문에서는 수중운동 추적체계의 추적성능을 예측하기 위하여 먼저 CRLB를 이용한 시지연 예측오차의 기준경계식을 유도하고, 임의 표적운도에 이를 적용시켜 추적거리오차를 추출하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 표적이 원형 기동하는 경우보다 직선 기동하는 경우에 표적위치에 따라 오차의변화가 더 심하고, 수중운동 추적체계의 이론적 설계성능은 주파수 대역에 의해 영향을 가장 많이 받음을 확인하였다. 한편 4km*4km 범위의 수중센서 패턴을 사용하고 주파수 대역폭을 200Hz로 취한 경우 시간지연에 의한 수중운동 추적체계의 이론적 추적오차는 0.24m 이내로 시뮬레이션 되었다.

To characterize the biological tissue, the new method to measure the ultrasonic velocity is presented in this paper. The influence of the dispersion effect on the estimation of the ultrasonic velocity is mostly neglected. A more efficient method determining the minimum phase spectrum is developed to characterize the frequency dispersion form the spectral magnitude function. To eliminate the frequency dispersion, the signal-decomposition method is also proposed. Computer simulations are performed to verify the algorithms.

Based on the conventional 2-6GHz digital frequency discriminator (DFD) using the phase unwrapping and least-squares techniques, we propose a new 2-18GHz DFD. To compensate for lowered-precision frequency estimation due to the expanded bandwidth, the proposed DFD design employs more delay lines, accordingly accompanying high complexity. Thus, a new computationally efficient frequency estimation algorithm is also presented to overcome such high computational burden. More specifically, the proposed frequency estimation algorithm is basically based on the conventional phase unwrapping technique, along with a new candidates selection for the unwrapped phases under the condition that the phase margin is known. As a result, the computational burden required for the least-squares technique can be reduced. Finally, simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, compared with those of the conventional DFD's.

A low-N phase-locked loop clock generator with frequency multiplier is proposed to improve phase noise characteristic. Delay-variance voltage converter (DVVC) generates output voltages according to the delay variance of delay stages in voltage controlled oscillator. The output voltages of average circuit with the output voltages of DVVC are applied to the delay stages in VCO to reduce jitter. The HSPICE simulation of the proposed phase-locked loop clock generator with a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process shows an 11.3 ps of peak-to-peak jitter.

In active sonar, time delay estimation is used to find the distance between the target and the sonar. Among the time delay estimation methods for active sonar, estimation in the frequency domain is widely used. When estimating in the frequency domain, the time delay can be thought of as a frequency estimator, so it can be used relatively easily. However, this method is prone to rapid increase in error due to noise. In this paper, we propose a new method which applies weighted dictionary and sparsity in order to reduce this error increase and we extend it to two receivers to propose an algorithm for estimating the time delay between two receivers. And the case of applying the proposed method and the case of not applying the proposed method including the conventional frequency domain algorithm and Generalized Cross Correlation-Phase transform (GCC-PHAT) in a white noise environment were compared with one another. And we show that the newly proposed method has a performance gain of about 15 dB to about 60 dB compared to other algorithms.

This paper improves the effects of clustered OFCDM scheme considering the frequency diversity effect over a frequency selective fading channel. In OFCDM with frequency domain spreading compared to OFDM, we can increase uncorrelated symbols by frequency allocation method of correspondent symbols over the same antenna and different antenna after spreading. The simulation results show that the performance of proposed system is improved by approximately 4 dB in ${\sigma}=0.02{\mu}sec$, the performance is improved by approximately 2.5dB in large delay spread in a 12-path Rayleigh fading channel with overall the root mean squared delay spread and the maximum Doppler frequency of 20 Hz. Also, the required average received Eb/No at the average BER of $10^{-3}$ by optimum method is improved by approximately 2.0 dB, compared to that of STA-OFCDM with frequency rearrange. The new method does not require any bandwidth expansion any feedback from the receiver to the transmitter and its computation complexity is similar to clustered OFCDM.

In this paper, we propose a WDM optical true time-delay (OTTD) beam former for phased way antenna (PAA) systems. It is composed of a delay lines matrix and a multiwavelength source with discrete DFB laser diodes. The building block of a delay lines matrix is a $2\times2$ optical MEMS switch with proper fiber-optic delay line connected between cross ports. A $4\times3$ matrix using four DFB lasers has been fabricated with unit time-delay difference of 12 ps. Maximum time-delay error was measured to be -1.74 ps and +1.14 ps at a radiation angle of $46.05^{\circ}$, corresponding to error range of $-2.87^{\circ}\sim+1.88^{\circ}$. By measuring time-delays at six different RF frequencies from 5- to 10-GHz, we verified the true time-delay characteristic of our OTTD.

Two frequency synthesizers are proposed to generate a clock for a sub-sampler of an on-chip oscilloscope in this paper. These proposed frequency synthesizers are designed by using a multi-phase delayed-locked loop (DLL)-based phase selector and a fractional-N phase-locked loop (PLL), and they are analyzed by comparing simulation results of each frequency synthesizer. Two proposed frequency synthesizers are designed using a 65-nm CMOS process with a 1V supply and output the clock with the frequency of 121.15 MHz when the frequency of an input clock is 125 MHz. The designed frequency synthesizer using a multi-phase DLL-based phase selector has the area of 0.167 $mm^2$ and the peak-to-peak jitter performance of 2.88 ps when it consumes the power of 4.75 mW. The designed frequency synthesizer using a fractional-N PLL has the area of 0.662 $mm^2$ and the peak-to-peak jitter performance of 7.2 ps when it consumes the power of 1.16 mW.

In this paper, we designed and implemented a cavity bandpass filter combined with a cross-coupling equalizer structure to enhance Group delay for 5G mobile network repeater, which can replace the SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) type bandwidth filter used in the existing mobile communication system. Using the 3D EM simulation tool (HFSS), the resonance frequency, the coupling coefficient between resonators, and external quality coefficient between resonators were calculated. Based on this, a 12th bandpass filter was constructed to have attenuation characteristics of more than 20dB at the edge end of both sides of the band with a metal cavity structure with a frequency band of 3500MHz to 3600MHz and bandwidth of 97.85MHz. The designed bandpass filter satisfies the group delay time requirement for the 5G mobile communication standard and the in-band and out-band frequency responses.
