The multi-band (MB) ultra-wideband (UWB) communication system divides its available frequency spectrum in 3.1 to 10.6GHz into 16 sub-bands, which leads to inherent disparities between carrier frequencies of each sub-band. For instance, the highest carrier frequency is 2.65 times higher than the lowest one. Since the propagation loss is proportional to the square of the transmission frequency, the propagation loss on the sub-band having the highest carrier frequency is approximately 7 times larger than that on the sub-band having the lowest carrier frequency, which results in disparities between received signal powers on each sub-band. In this paper, we propose a novel correlation scheme for frequency hopping (FH) MB UWB communications, where the correlation time is adaptively adjusted relative to the sub-band, which reduces the disparity between the received signal energies on each sub-band. Such compensation for lower received powers on sub-bands having higher carrier frequency leads to an improvement on the total average bit error rate (BER) of the entire FH MB UWB communication system. We analyze the performance of the proposed correlation scheme in Nakagami fading channels, and it is shown that the performance gain provided by the proposed correlator is more significant as the Nakagami fading index n increases (i.e., better channel conditions).

An ultra-wideband signal is characterized by a radiated spectrum with wide bandwidth around a relatively low center frequency. In this paper, the bit error rate (BER), packet error rate (PER), and data throughput performance for an ultra-wideband system with M-ary correlation receiver are analyze in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and co-channel interference channel. To evaluate the performance of UWB system, a set of UWB communication waveform as pulse position modulated (PPM) signals consisting of more than one UWB pulse is used. The M-ary PPM signals are defined to be equally correlated in order to simplify the system performance analysis. The analysis for system performance shows that the wireless channel error significantly degrades throughput performance and can be effectively increased by hybrid ARQ scheme. Also, an attempt for comparing the data throughput of ultra-wideband system on different performance improvement schemes and parameters has been made. From the performance evaluation process, it is shown that the effects of wireless channel and hybrid ARQ scheme for ultra wideband M-ary PPM system can be evaluated by means of a suitable combination of the PER, throughput vs. signal-to-noise power ratio per bit.

기존의 마이크로파 대역의 전송 용량이 포화상태가 됨에 따라, 더 넓은 주파수 대역의 초 광대역에 대한 시스템의 요구가 커져가고 있다. 따라서, UWB(Ultra Wide Bnd)를 이용한 기술은, 향후 무선 통신망에서의 멀티미디어 통신을 가능하게 할 광대역 무선 통신 시스템의 기술로 발전하고 있다. 이러한 UWB 기술과 fiber-optic 기술과의 접속은, 더 넓은 주파수 대역의 제공, 다 많은 전소 용량 및 저잔송 손실이라는 측면에서 큰 장점을 가지고 있다. 그래서, Radio-on-fiber 시스템을 위한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있는 추세이다. 최근들어, 음성, 데이터, 영상을 포함한 멀티미디어 통신에 대한 요구가 증가되고 있다. 이러한 요구에 부응하기 위한 방법이 광대역 통신인데, 광통신이 하나의 방법으로 대두되고 있으며, 기존의 마이크로파 대역의 전송량이포화 상태로 됨에 따라, 더 넓은 주파수 대역의 UWB 대역의 시스템에 대한 요구가 커져가고 있다. 따라서, HS 논문에서는 이러한 UWB의 신호 생성을 위한 광 주입 방법을 제안하고 시스템의 평가를 위해 전송거리에 대한 CNR(Carrier-to-Noise Ratio)에 대한 페널티를 분석하였다.

A recent technology trends in synthetic aperture radar(SAR) requires the ultra high resolution performance in detecting and precisely identifying the targets. In this paper, as a technique for enhancing the radar range resolution, the wide band chirp connection algorithm is presented by stitching the several chirp modules with unit bandwidth based on the linear frequency modulated chirp signal waveform. The principles of the digital chirp signal generation and its architecture for implementation is described with the wide band chirp signal generator, modulator, and demodulator. The performance analysis for the presented algorithm is given with the simulation results.

We report on the measurements of absorption spectra from acetylene ($^{12}C_2H_2$) and hydrogen cyanide ($H^{13}C^{14}N$) for wavelength reference in the C-band (conventional band) region using a supercontinuum optical source generated from a mode-locked $Cr^{4+}$:YAG laser. The center wavelength of the mode-locked $Cr^{4+}$:YAG laser was 1510 nm and the pulse duration was 75 fs at 100 MHz repetition rate. The supercontinuum source achieved a flatness of ${\pm}5dB$ over a wavelength range of more than 400 nm, using a 20 m long photonic crystal fiber. The measured absorption spectra from acetylene ($^{12}C_2H_2$) and hydrogen cyanide ($H^{13}C^{14}N$) had more than 50 lines and were analyzed for wavelength standardization.

In this paper, we propose new hardware architecture of a fast searcher for an initial code acquisition in wideband CDMA wireless local loop systems. The proposed searcher uses double-dwell serial search algorithm and has N active correlators for the high performance code acquisition. Since the N active correlators are designed with pipelined architecture, it is possible to reduce the hardware complexity with only one energy calculation. Our architecture is designed using VHDL to meet wideband CDMA wireless local loop standard and verified under JTC wideband channels. Average code acquisition time of the proposed fast searcher which has 16 correlators is about 40 seconds in case of initial installation and 0.16 seconds when a base station is known. The verified fast searcher is synthesized with in $0.6\mu\textrm{m}$ LG library. The synthesized searcher has 15.8K rates when the number of 4he correlators is 16.

옴니(omnidirectional)-PBG(photonic bandgap)의 크기는 쌍을 이루는 광자결정 재료의 고유 굴절률, 충진율 및 두께에 의해 결정되는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나 광자결정체가 다중주기를 가지도록 제작하면 옴니-PBG의 크기를 변화 시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 Si/$SiO_2$를 기본 구조로 하는 광대역 옴니-PBG용 광자결정 구조를 설계, 제작하고 그 특성을 평가 하였다. 각각 단일 주기 $\Lambda_1$(426.9nm) 및 $\Lambda_2$(306.9nm)를 갖는 8N-Si/$SiO_2$ 광자결정에 대해 TE/TM-편광광 $5^{\circ}$ 및 $45^{\circ}$ 입사각에 대한 반사-스펙트라 측정결과는 설계값과 일치하였다. 특히 이중주기 $(8N\cdot{\Lambda}_1+8N\cdot{\Lambda}_2)$를 갖도록 제작된 Si/$SiO_2$ 광자결정은 입사각 $5^{\circ}$의 TE-편광광 반사-스펙트라 측정결과, 약 1050-2500nm의 광대역 파장범위에서 광자 밴드 갭을 보였다.

본 논문은 UWB(Ultra WideBand) 기술에 기반한 지반탐사레이더(Ground Penetrating Radar, GPR)용으로 개발된 광대역 안테나의 특성에 관해 나타낸다. UWB 기술의 핵심은 주기가 수 나노초 이하의 짧은 임펄스를 이용하는 것으로 지반탐사레이더는 이 임펄스 기술을 이용함으로서 탐사 능력과 해상도를 높일 수 있다. 임펄스 전송을 위해 안테나는 넓은 대역폭, 크기, 무게, 가격 등 지반탐사레이더에 적용될 수 있는 조건을 만족해야 함으로 안테나의 설계는 이에 부합할 수 있는 다이폴 안테나를 선택하여 개발하였다. 개발된 안테나의 성능을 검증하기 위해 시뮬레이션과 실험을 실시하였고 그 결과 설계된 안테나의 대역폭이 0.5 GHz에서 2.7 GHz로 2.2 GHz(138%)의 사용대역을 나타냄으로서 UWB 기술에 기반한 지반탐사레이더용으로 유용함을 확인하였다.
