This paper examines the array antenna theory, basic relations between the array size (aperture) and its beamwidth and resultant patterns. This paper also provides array antenna system design criteria, mainly maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and its corresponding optimum array structure and weight functions. Explicit new expressions for array performance are also illustrated in terms of the array output SNR. An example is provided for a 37-element planar array to explicitly illustrate the beam-forming and nulling operations of the array. Fundamentals of sidelobe canceller (SLC) systems have been discussed along with a derivation of new SLC equations for optimum weights.

본 논문에서는 나카가미-m 페이딩 채널 환경을 가진 무선 중계 네트워크에서 reactive 누적분포함수(cumulative distribution function) 기반 중계기 선택 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 수신 신호대잡음비(signal-to-noise ratio)의 누적분포함수 값에 따라 중계기를 선택한다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 기법의 불능 확률(outage probability)과 다이버시티 차수(diversity order)를 분석한다. 제안된 기법이 얻을 수 있는 다이버시티 차수는 중계기의 개수와 페이딩 파라미터에 의해 결정되며 최대 다이버시티(full diversity)를 얻음을 볼 수 있다. 그리고 모의 실험에서는 분석된 불능 확률 및 다이버시티 차수가 정확하게 일치하는 것을 확인한다.

We have measured terahertz electromagnetic pulses when DC voltage from V up to 90V is applied to the transmitter chip excited by femto-second laser pulse. The femto-second excitation laser pulse was injected to transmitter chip. Finally, we are observed the amplitude of electromagnetic pulse and variation of spectrum. Consequently, the amplitude of spectrum was increased to high frequency according to increase of voltage. At that time, the signal-to-noise rate(SNR) is increased from 250:1 to 10, 000:1.

광대역의 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 전송채널 채널용량에 대한 분석은 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 지금까지 CATV망의 채널대역폭은 대규모 전송망과 소규모 전송망에서 동일한 대역폭을 이용하여 전송하였다. 소규모 전송망에서 광대역 멀티미디어 및 타 미디어 방송서비스를 제공하기 위해 현재의 사용 대역폭은 부족한 상황이다. 이 논문은 우리나라 CATV 구내 전송망 구조를 분석하고, 구내 전송망에서 주로 사용되는 동축케이블의 크기에 따른 최대 허용 주파수와 주파수 대역에 따른 동축케이블에서의 신호에 대한 감쇠를 구하였다. 또한 단독주택과 아파트의 구내전송망의 채널 모델링을 통해 구내전송망에서의 반송파대 잡음비를 구하였고, 구내전송망에서 주파수대역에 따른 64-QAM, 256-QAM 변조방식의 BER성능을 분석하였다.

This study Proposes a quadrature-typed inside-out receiver coil to obtain magnetic resonance(MR) images of lumen wall. This means that the coil should receive the signals from out-side of receiver coil. This coil has wide and uniform sensitive region to compare with previous coils such as anti-solenoid coil, octal-pole coil and so on. These coils have the disadvantages that sensitive region is narrow and inhomogenous. The proposed coil is consist of two saddle coils of which directions are orthogonal to one another. The sensitivity maps of octal-Pole coil single-saddle coil and quadrature-typed inside-out coil were obtained by computer simulation. And phantom images for each coil were obtained to evaluate the performances of the coil using both 1.5T superconducting and 0.3 Permanent magnet MRI system. The uniformity of quadrature coil's sensitivity map was superior to that of octal-polel coil. Experimentally measured SNR of quadrature coil is also 36% higher than that of single-saddle coil This study shows the possibility of quadrature-typed inside-out receiver coil for the MR lumen wall images.

A novel method of adaptive beam forming is presented in this paper. The proposed technique provides for a suboptimal beam pattern that increases the Signal to Noise/Interference Ratio (SNR/SIR), thus, eventually increases the capacity of the communication channel, under an assumption that the desired signal is dominant compared to each component of interferences at the receiver, which is precoditionally achieved in Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile communications by the chip correlator. The main advantages of the new technique are:(1)The procedure requires neither reference signals nor training period, (2)The signal interchoerency does not affect the performance or complexity of the entire procedure, (3)The number of antennas does not have to be greater than that of the signals of distinct arrival angles, (4)The entire procedure is iterative such that a new suboptimal beam pattern be generated upon the arrival of each new data of which the arrival angle keeps changing due tot he mobility of the signal source, (5)The total amount of computation is tremendously reduced compared to that of most conventional beam forming techniques such that the suboptimal beam pattern be produced at vevery snapshot on a real-time basis. The total computational load for generating a new set of weitht including the update of an N-by-N(N is the number of antenna elements) autocovariance matrix is $0(3N^2 + 12N)$. It can further be reduced down to O(11N) by approximating the matrix with the instantaneous signal vector.

In cellular mobile radio systems with frequency reuse, the interference signals degrade the channel estimation and signal detection performance due to the low signal-to-interference ratio near coverage boundaries. When the preamble pilot sequences from different cells are orthogonal or located in disjointed positions, they can be used for multi-cell channel estimation and interference cancellation. In time-varying channels caused by Doppler spread, data pilot symbols are needed for channel estimations. However, data pilot symbols are usually located in identical positions for the overhead reduction, which degrades the channel estimation performance. In this paper, we demonstrate a significant amount of performance improvement is achieved by multiplying different pseudonoise(PN) sequences to the data pilot symbols from adjacent interference cells. In particular, for detection scheme using maximal ratio combining(MRC) and inter-cell spatial demultiplexing(ISD), quantitative performance gain of spectral efficiency for different values of Doppler frequency and interference power is presented.

When the eigenvalues of the input covariance matrix of an array system spread by orders of magnitude, conventional adaptive arrays can't remove all the interference signals effectively In this paper, an Applebaum array adopting an adaptive gain controller (AGC) in the feedback loop of the array is proposed When eigenvalue spreaded interferences are incident to an array, a high power interference is removed easily in several iterations while a relative low power interference which is a cause of eigenvalue spread is still remained In the array output After some initial iterations, the proposed array increases the correlation between the low power interference and the array output by amplifying the output signal of the array As a result, the weights vector adapts to the direction of the low power interference as well as that of the high power interference Computer simulation results show that the proposed array gives high output signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and a fast convergence speed.

This paper relates with the eualization performance of Constellation Matching-MMA (CM-MMA) in order to the consists of optimum receiver for the minimization of intersymbol interference and additive noise effects that is occurs in the nonlinear communication channel. The error signal were obtained that combines the Constellation Matching technique that inserts the zero point between the signal point of equalizer for improving the residual isi and convergence speed compared to the currently used MMA algorithm. In the initial state of adaptive equalization, it depends on the MMA characteristics mainly. And in the steady state, it depends on the CM characteristics mainly. In order to analyzing the equalization performance, the output signal constellation, residual isi, maximum distortion, MSE and SER were applied, then it were compared with the present MMA algorithm. As a result of computer simulation, the CM-MMA has more better performance in the every performance index, and it was also confirmed that the constellation matching effect can be obtained in the greater than 20dB signal to noise ratio.
