전력선 통신(Power-Line Communication)에 있어서 패널의 임펄스 응답은 송수신 신호의 기본적인 전달 특성이라는 점에서 매우 중요한 채널 특성이며, 채널 구성 요소들의 물리적 구조 및 각종 부하 기기들에 따라 다양하게 변화하기 때문에, 적절한 측정과 분석 및 대응이 요구된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 채널 임펄스 응답 측정에 대한 광대역 측정 방식과 협대역 측정 방식을 검토하고, 각 방식을 테스트 베드 상에서 구현하여 임펄스 응답 측정 결과를 상호 비교하고, 그 신뢰성을 확인하였다. 또, 실제 전력선 채널 환경에서 PN 시퀀스를 이용한 광대역 측정 방식의 장점을 고려하여, 국내 일반적인 저층 아파트를 대상으로 임펄스 응답 측정을 수행하고 결과를 분석하였다.

In this paper, influences of a ultra wideband (UWB) antenna on impulse channel measurement are investigated in time domain (TD) and frequency domain (FD) as well. Firstly, impulse response of an UWB antenna is obtained and then using the result of impulse response of the UWB antenna, influences of the antenna on impulse radio channel is analyzed. Furthermore, using the impulse response of the UWB anenna, method of impulse radio channel analysis is presented by excluding the effect of the antenna from an impulse radio channel. For verifying the theory, a modified conical monopole antenna is designed for measuring impulse radio channel and its impulse response is obtained. After that, in order to investigate the effects of the UWB antenna on an impulse radio channel, multipath environments are set up in an anechonic chamber and transmission coefficient for each multipath environment is measured with an aid of vector network analyzer. Data measured in frequency domain is transformed into those in time domain by way of signal processing. Measurement shows that such properties of the antenna as dispersion and ringing affect impulse radio channel. Moreover, using the impulse response of the antenna, impulse response of only multipath channel is obtained.

본 논문은 주파수 영역과 시간 영역에서 초광대역 (Ultra Wideband UWB) 안테나의 임펄스 응답 특성을 고려한 채널측정 연구에 대해 발표하고자 한다. 임펄스 전파 채널 측정을 위해 UWB conical monopole 안테나를 설계하였고, 설계한 안테나의 임펄스 응답을 도출하였다. 안테나의 특성이 임펄스 전파 채널측정에 주는 영향을 무반향 반사실에서 다중경로 환경과 무반사 환경을 구현하여 측정하였다. 측정을 통하여 안테나의 dispersive한 특성과 ringing이 임펄스 전파 채널에 영향을 미침을 확인했고, 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 정확한 임펄스 채널 측정을 위해 사용한 UWB 안테나의 특성을 고려해야 함을 확인하였다.

Passive source depth discrimination has been studied for decades since the source depth can be used for discriminating whether the target is near the surface or submerged. In this thesis, an algorithm for source depth discrimination is proposed based on CIR (Channel Impulse Response) from target-radiated noise (or signal). In order to extract CIR without a known source signal, Ray-based blind deconvolution is used. Subsequently, intersections of CIR pattern, which is characterized by ray arrival time difference, is utilized for discriminating source depth. The proposed algorithm is demonstrated through numerical simulation in ocean waveguide, and verified via the experimental data.

전력선 통신(Power-Line Communi-cation)에 있어서 전력선은 유선 매체임에도 불구하고 수많은 분기 및 부하접속, 그리고 상호간의 임피던스 부정합에 의해 무선 통신 채널 환경과 같은 다중 경로 페이딩 특성을 갖게 된다. 따라서 채널의 다중경로 해석이 상당히 중요하며, 실제 전력선 통신 채널 연구 분야에서 신호 송수신단 사이의 임펄스 응답 측정을 바탕으로 다중경로를 분석하는 방안이 적용되고 있다. PN 시퀀스를 이용한 광대역 임펄스 응답 측정 방식은 무선 채널 환경에 대해 개발되었으나, 현재는 무선 채널은 물론 전력선 채널과 같은 유선 채널에서도 적용되고 있다. 게다가 고압 배전선로와 같이 다중 경로를 포함하는 장거리 통신채널은 PN 시퀀스 방식이 여러 가지 면에서 효율적이다[1]. 본 논문에서는 PN 시퀀스 방식의 광대역 임펄스응답 측정 방법을 통해 고압 배전선로 채널의 다중경로 특성을 측정, 검토하고 이를 제시하였다.

In this paper, we propose a channel estimation method by impulse signal train in OFDM. In order to estimate the channel response, 4 impulse signals are generated and transmitted during one OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbol. The intervals between the impulse signals are all equal in time domain. At the receiver, the impulse response signals are summed and averaged. And then, the averaged impulse response signal is zero padded and fast Fourier transformed to obtain the channel estimation. The BER performance of the proposed method is compared with those of conventional estimation method using the long training sequence in fast fading environments. The simulation results show that the proposed method improves by 3 dB in terms of Eb/No, compared with the conventional method.

This paper presents a new method for channel impulse response measurment with a suitably designed binary sounding sequence. This method results in ideal channel estimation using three correlators instead of one. This system complexity can be easily overcome by the present technologies. The class of sounding sequences used in this method are the training sequence for channel impulse response measurment with the zero values of autocorrelation function at all shifts except zero and middle shifts in digital cellular mobile telephone system based on GSM. Computer searches are carried out to find the suitable sounding sequences.

This paper suggests an estimation method of the source signal and the channel impulse response (CIR) using ray-based blind deconvolution (RBD) in the underwater acoustic channel environment where Doppler effect exists by the relative motion between source and receiver. It is difficult to estimate the CIR on Doppler effect by the matched filter with a highly Doppler-sensitive waveform such as the m-sequence signal because Doppler shift can severely degrade the correlation between the received signal corrupted by Doppler effect and the original source signal. In this study, the Doppler-shifted source-signal's phase is estimated using the RBD, and the received signal is compensated by it to obtain the Doppler-corrected CIR. It is verified that using the matched filter with the received signal from the experimental data fails to estimate the CIR while the obtained CIR by the suggested method has the similarity to the propagation path of the ray model. Also, the results show that the reconstructed source signal using the RBD has the better Doppler shift compensation than the Doppler-shifted source signal derived from scattering function.

In this paper, we propose a new symbol offset estimation technique for an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)-based wireless LAN. When both inter-symbol interference (ISI) and inter-channel interference (ICI) do not exist in an OFDM symbol, symbol offsets cause circular shifts in the estimated channel impulse response (CIR) by the amount of symbol offset. Also, the power delay profile of a typical multipath wireless channel can be modeled by exponentially decaying function, and most energy of multipath channel is concentrated at the beginning part of the CIR. Based on these properties, the proposed symbol offset estimation technique estimates the CIR, which is circularly shifted by the amount of symbol offset, and then calculates the partial mean power from the estimated impulse response by using a moving window with a finite length. And, symbol offset can be estimated from the index of a moving window having the maximal partial mean power. The proposed technique can reduce noise effect in the process of the CIR estimation, and remove ISI and ICI using repetitive training symbol structure in time-domain for minimum training overhead. The performances of the proposed symbol offset estimation technique in typical indoor channels are demonstrated by computer simulation.
