In this paper, we propose and analyze a M-ary transmission scheme in time hopping ultra-wide band(UWB) system using mutually orthogonal modified Hermite polynomial(MHP) pulses. The proposed M-ary transmission scheme employs the orthogonal property between different ordered pulses and N data bits make the M-ary signals by linear combination of M MHP pluses. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed system has better performance and higher data rate than conventional M-ary UWB system. We derive the general form of correlation function for MHP pulses and analyze bit error rate(BER) performance over additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) with the presence of timing jitter. We show that the proposed system has the improved BER performance and robustness to timing jitter and low power spectrum density compared with conventional M-ary UWB system.

This paper analyzes the performance of symbol timing recovery and equalizer in 8VSB digital terrestrial TV receiver under various multipath signals and proposes equalization techniques which improve indoor reception performance. Data segment sync is used for symbol timing recovery and timing offset is measured for echoes of various delays and amplitudes by using symbol timing detection filter whose pattern is +1. +1. -1. and -1. Measured timing offsets were below 10% for long echoes with more than 5 symbol delay and above 30% for short echoes with around 1 symbol delay. Indoor reception is always more challenging than outdoor reception due to lower signal strength. large and short multipaths. and moving interfering objects. So it is considered to use FSE (Fractionally Spaced Equalizer) which is very robust to timing offset and blind equalizer which can update equalizer tap coefficients even by information data. We compare the performance of conventional DFE (Decision Feedback Equalizer) and FSE-DFE using LMS algorithm and Stop and Go algorithm for the indoor reception. Experiments reveals FSE has excellent performance for large timing offset and Stop and Go algorithm shows good performance for Doppler shift. so we propose to use FSE-DFE structure with Stop and Go algorithm for the reliable indoor reception.

In this paper we describe the design and implementation of uplink receiver for BWLL base station modem. The demodulator consists of digital down converter, matched filter and synchronization circuits. For symbol timing recovery we use Gardner algorithm. And we use forth power method and decision directed method for carrier frequency recovery and phase recovery, respectively. For the sake of performance analysis, we compare simulation results with the board implemented by FPGA which is APEX20KE series chip for Alter. The performance results show it works quite well up to the condition that a frequency offset equal to 4.7% of symbol rate.1

DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting)-S2 (Satellite - Second Generation) 표준은 현재 위성방송 시스템으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 표준이나, 추가적인 성능향상과 보다 다양한 응용분야에 적용하기 위해 DVB-S2 기술을 확장한 DVB-S2x (Satellite - Second Generation Extension) 시스템이 제정되었다. 그 중에서도 612,540 심볼 길이의 수퍼프레임 (Super-frame) 구조를 선택적으로 도입하여 긴 데이터 길이에 대해 스크렘블링 (Scrambling)을 적용하는 방법과 PLS (Physical Layer Signaling) 코드와 같은 참조 데이터 필드를 반복적으로 사용하는 방법 등을 사용할 수 있도록 하였다. 이를 통해 동일채널 간섭 (co-channel interference)에 대한 강인성을 증가시키고, 매우 낮은 SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) 환경에서의 수신기 성능 향상 효과를 제공하게 된다 본 논문에서는 버스트 슈퍼프레임 전송 기반의 DVB-S2x 수신기를 위한 동기부를 설계하고 구조를 제안한다. 슈퍼프레임의 포맷은 DVB-S2x Annex E 의 규격 중 2 번 포맷을 이용하였으며, 2 번 슈퍼프레임 포맷은 버스트 (burst) 기반의 전송 방식에 용이한 측면이 있다. 동기부는 크게 버스트 검출부, 주파수 복구부, 신호 이득 조절부 그리고 심벌 타이밍 복구부로 구성된다.

In this paper, we propose a frame synchronization algorithm for robust to the combined effects of large Doppler fluctuations and extended, time-varying multipath in the underwater acoustic communication. From the algorithm, we can recover a high timing error which is occurred from an acoustic propagation delay and uncertainty of oscillator between transmitter and receiver. In order to verify the performance of the synchronization algorithm, the lake trial results are used. The lake experiments are performed in a Gyeongcheonho located in Mungyeong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do. We can see that the start position of frame is adjusted after the frame synchronization while the receiver moving.

This paper proposes a random sign reversal technique in space frequency block code for single carrier modulation. The traditional space time and frequency block coding technique may be confronted with radio environments openly, severe radio hijacking problems are to be overcome. In order to avoid such an open radio issue, random coded data protection technique for space-time block code was proposed, but this algorithm can change channel combination per an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing block. This kind of slow switching increases the probability that nearby receivers will detect the transmitted data. This paper proposes a fast switching algorithm per data symbols' basis which is a random sign reversal technique in space frequency block code for Single Carrier Modulation. It is shown in simulation that the proposed one has a superior performance in comparison with the performance of the receiver which do not know the random timing sequence of sign reversal.

In this paper, we describe a compensation method that can be used for the situation where Loran receivers lose their phase lock to the received Loran signals when Loran signals are employed for the synchronization of national infrastructures such as telecommunication networks, electric power distribution and so on. In losing the phase lock to the received signals in a Loran receiver, the inner oscillator of the receiver starts free-running and the performance of the timing synchronization signals which are locked to the oscillator's phase is very severly degraded, so the timing accuracy under 1 us for a Primary Reference Clock (PRC) required in the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) G.811 standard can not be satisfied in the situation. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method which can compensate the phase jump by using a compensation algorithm when a Loran receiver loses its phase lock and the performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm is achieved by the Maximum Time Interval Error (MTIE) of the measured data. From the performance evaluation results, it is observed that the requirement under 1 us for a PRC can be easily achieved by using the proposed algorithm showing about 0.6 us with under 30 minutes mean interval of smoothing with 1 hour period when the loss of phase lock occurs.

본 논문에서는 DMT 기반의 xDSL 시스템의 수신단에서 발생하는 샘플링 위상 옵셋과 샘플링 주파수 옵셋에 의한 타이밍 오류를 분석한 후, 디지털 수신기에서 이를 보상하기 위한 비동기식 샘플링(full digital PLL) 방식을 제안한다. 기존의 논문에서는 DMT 방식의 xDSL 시스템에서 샘플링 위상 옵셋을 delay-rotor 특성을 이용한 주파수영역 위상 회전기로 보상하는 비동기식 샘플링 방식을 제안한 바 있다. 그러나 수신단에서 샘플링 시 존재하는 타이밍 오류로 인해 저역통과 필터링된 수신신호는 더 이상 delay-rotor 특성이 성립하지 않아 성능이 크게 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 샘플링 위상 옵셋을 완벽하게 보상할 수 있는 데이터 구간의 환형 컨벌루션화(circular convolution) 방식을 제안한다. 또한 샘플링 위상 옵셋과 샘플링 주파수 옵셋이 동시에 존재하는 경우 이를 보상할 수 있는 개선된 시간/주파수 혼성영역 보상방식을 제안한다. 또한 추가의 오버헤드를 사용하지 않고 샘플링 위상 옵셋과 샘플링 주파수 옵셋을 보상할 수 있는 시간영역 보상방식을 제안한다. 마지막으로 DMT 방식의 ADSL 시스템에 본 논문에서 제안된 비동기식 샘플링 방식들을 적용하여 모의실험을 통해 성능을 분석하고 기존의 방식과 비교하여 성능의 우수성을 확인한다.

지상파 디지털 방송신호의 방송구역 확장이나 난시청지역 해소를 위해 사용되는 동일채널중계기(On-Channel Repeater : OCR)는 수신신호와 송신신호의 주파수를 완벽히 일치시켜야한다. 송수신신호의 주파수가 일치하지 않을 경우 주 송신신호와 중계신호가 동시에 수신되는 중첩지역에서 수신기의 수신성능이 현저히 저하되기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 ATSC 지상파 디지털 방송신호를 중계하는 등화형 동일채널중계기(Equalization Digital On-Channel Repeater : EDOCR)에서 송수신신호의 주파수를 일치시키는 알고리즘에 대해 기술한다. 등화형 동일채널중계기는 주 송신신호를 수신하여 복조한 후 재 변조 하므로 송수신신호의 주파수를 일치시키기 위한 별도의 장치나 알고리즘이 반드시 사용되어야 한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 주 송신신호의 동기복원 과정에서 획득한 주파수 오차 정보를 재 변조 과정에 사용함으로써 GPS와 같은 별도의 장치 없이 송수신신호의 주파수를 일치시킨다. 반송파 복원과정에서 획득한 반송파 오차와 심볼타이밍 복원과정에서 획득한 심볼타이밍 오차를 재 변조 신호에 추가하면 수신신호와 송신신호가 같은 주파수 오차를 갖게 되어 두 신호의 중심주파수가 일치된다.

An UWB communication system are a promising communication technique suitable for the current trends, which are requesting communication methods with the high throughputs and very high speed. A key feature of UWB communication systems is the very narrow pulse used in transmitting the data and PPM(Pulse Position Modulation) for modulating the data. So, the timing accuracy is very important. It is very important to accurately analyze the effect of the timing jitter on the performance of UWB communication systems. In this paper, the methods of analyzing the timing jitter effects on UWB communication systems are introduced. In particular, the channel capacities with timing jitter are calculated including the multiuser access interference.
