This paper presents the development of the fast Direction Finder using direct conversion method, which can intercept for short pulse signal of less' than 1 msec. in RF Down Converter, and CVDF(Correlative Vector Direction Finding) algorithm, which estimates DoA (Direction of Arrival). The configuration and characteristics of direction finder using 5-channel equi-spaced circular array antenna are presented and the direct conversion techniques for removing tuning time using I/Q demodulator are described. The CRLB of our model is derived, the principles of 2 kind of CVDF algorithm are explained and their characteristics are compared with CRLB w.r.t the number of samples and spacing ratio. The RF Down Converter prototype using direct conversion method is manufactured, the 2 kind of CVDF algorithm are applied and their performance are analyzed. Finally it is confirmed the LSE based CVDF algorithm is better than correlation-coefficient based except for ambiguity protection capabilities.

The MAX77846, which is compatible with MAX77826, is a sub-power management IC (PMIC) for the latest Wearable Watch and 3G/4G smart phones. The MAX77846 contains N-MOSFET (N channel Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor), a high-efficiency regulator, and comparator, etc to power up peripherals. The MAX77846 also provides power on/off control logic for complete flexibility and an $I^2C$ (Inter Integrated Circuit) serial interface to program individual regulator output voltages. In this paper, the simplified power macro-model based on MAX77846 is designed to verify the performance of the battery voltage in terms of current and time, and simulated by using of the LTspice. In addition, it is verified how much time can the charged battery capacity for Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 be used to operate a specified function after measuring the currents flowing to carry out the main functions in real time, which will be applicable to design parameters for the advanced power module

We propose a new beamforming algorithm, which is based on simplex downhill optimization method in the presence of pilot channels in cdma2000 reverse-link, for the rake structure antenna array in DS/CDMA communication system. Our approach uses the desired signal(pilot) covariance matrix and the interference covariance matrix. The beamforming weights are made according to maximum SINR criteria using simplex downhill optimization procedure. Our proposed scheme provides lower computational load, better convergence speed, better performance than existingadaptive beamforming algorithm. The simplex downhill method is well suited to finding the optimal or sub-optimal weight vector, since they require only the value of the deterministic function to be optimized. The rake beamformer performances are also evaluated under several set of practical parameter values with regard to spatial channel model. We also compare the performance between conventional rake receiver and the proposed one under same receiving power.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of the PCM cell search algorithm proposed for fast cell search of WCDMA systems. In order to improve both performance and complexity of the cell search algorithm standardized for WCDMA systems the PCM scheme uses a group of the polarization codes produced by a Gold code generator. The PCM scheme only uses one synchronization channel since the polarization codes modulated on P-SCH can replace the RS codes of S-SCH. Thus, the PCM reduces the BS's transmission power since only one synchronization channel can be used, and it can also reduce the complexity of receiver as compared with the conventional one. In this paper, by defining a numerical model, we analyze the performance of the PCM cell search algorithm in terms of detection probability and mean acquisition time. Consequently, we could demonstrate that the PCM cell search algorithm is superior to the standard WCDMA cell search algorithm.

In this paper, we introduce system and channel modeling for an underwater ad hoc acoustic network with n regularly located nodes， and then analyze capacity scaling laws based on the model. A narrow-band model is assumed where the carrier frequency is allowed to scale as a function of n. In the network, we characterize in attenuation parameter that depends on the frequency scaling as well as the transmission distance. A cut-set upper bound on the throughput scaling is then derived in extended networks having unit node density. Our result indicates that the upper bound is inversely proportional to the attenuation parameter, thus resulting in a power-limited network. Furthermore, we describe an achievable scheme based on the simple nearest-neighbor multi-hop (MH) transmission. It is shown under extended networks that the MH scheme is order-optimal for all the operating regimes expressed as functions of the attenuation parameter.

In a heterogeneous wireless environment, a variety of Radio Access Technologies (RATs) coexist. Since the number of RATs is anticipated to increase in the near future, it is desirable to have radio and network resources managed in a cooperative manner using the Common Radio Resource Management (CRRM) strategy. In order to make RAT-specific radio resources manageable in CRRM, this paper proposes the Analytical Network Process (ANP) based resource management scheme that efficiently allocates resources among heterogeneous wireless networks. The proposed ANP-based method is flexible enough to be used in any network environment and can consider a multitude of decision factors. In addition, the proposed scheme uses a radio bandwidth model, which properly reflects transmission rates under given channel conditions, as the actual radio resources to be allocated. The model considers the AMC (Adaptive Modulation and Coding) scheme that is widely used in current broadband wireless access technologies, and thus, packet service characteristics, such as response time, can be analyzed. The effectiveness and flexibility of the proposed method are demonstrated by implementing a number of existing factors on heterogeneous networks environment.

We propose a D-ATR UWB (Differential-Average Transmitted Reference Ultra Wide Band) system based on impulse radio. The TR-UWB systems including traditional TR (Transmitted Reference) and ATR (Average TR), exhibit a problem of reduced data rate, since reference signals are additionally transmitted. To tackle this issue, the transmitter of the proposed D-ATR system employs a differential coding like the conventional D-TR system. In addition, the receiver of the proposed system has the structure that can improve signal-to-noise ratio of the reference template used in the correlation process, by recursively averaging the received reference signals like the conventional ATR system. The simulation results in the IEEE 802.15.4a UWB multipath channel models reveal that the proposed D-ATR system achieves much better bit error rate performance as compared to the conventional D- TR system.

Cooperative diversity is an effective technique to combat multi-path fading. When this technique is applied to energy-constrained wireless sensor networks, it is a key issue to design appropriate relay selection and power allocation strategies. In this paper, we proposed a new multi-relay selection and power allocation algorithm to maximize network lifetime. The algorithm are composed of two relay selection stages, where the channel condition and residual power of each node were considered in multi-relay selection and the power is fairly allocated proportional to the residual power, satisfies the required SNR at destination and minimizes the total transmit power. In this paper, proposed algorithm is based on AF (amplify and forward) model. We evaluated the proposed algorithm by using extensive simulation and simulation results show that proposed algorithm obtains much longer network lifetime than the conventional algorithm.

In ports of Korea, the marine traffic flow is congested due to a large number of vessels coming in and going out. In order to improve the safety and efficiency of these vesse's movement, South Korea is operating with a Vessel Traffic System, which is monitoring its flow 24-7. However despite these efforts of the VTS (Vessel Traffic System) officers, marine accidents are occurring continuously in their control area. VTS Officers are controlling subjectively based on their experience due to no VTS control guideline of dangerous situation among vessels. On this paper, we listened to Busan VHF channel for 3days and analyzed the message. With collision risk model, We analyzed a moment of risk which officers advise or recommend to vessel in encounter situation, VTSO's career, and day&night.
