In the initial stage of the communications between a base station and a satellite transponder, the base station transmits the frequency-sweeping un-modulated up-link carrier within a certain frequency range to acquire the doppler frequency shift and signal power between the base station and the satellite in orbital flight. The satellite transponder acquires and tracks the carrier in order to initialize the communication. To control such initialization process, the satellite receiver should analyze the input carrier signal in various ways. This paper presents an SNR estimation algorithm to control the initialization process. The proposed algorithm converts the input signal into the baseband polar coordinate representation and estimates the SNR via the statistics of the angular signal components as well as the status parameters to control the receiver. The Monte-Carlo simulations shows the validity of the estimation proposed.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmits high-speed data by splitting the transmission bandwidth into a number of subcarriers. The bandwidth of each subcarrier is ensured to be smaller than the coherence bandwidth. This paper presents an OFDM system incorporated with the Carrier Interferometry (CI) codes to improve the performance by enhancing frequency diversity effect. The performances of CI-OFDM with multilevel modulations are investigated in highly dispersive fading channels. For the investigation of performance improvement of CI-OFDM, a simulator has been developed using a well-known SPW simulation platform. The simulation results show that the CI-OFDM provides both performance improvement and robustness against dispersive fading channel behavior. The performance of CI-OFBM with multilevel modulations demonstrates that CI-OFDM outperforms a traditional OFDM system, particularly in highly dispersive channels. With a relatively large delay spread of 151㎱ compared to the guard interval of 800㎱, CI-OFDM provides a BER of 10$^{-3}$ if sufficient signal power is present.

본 논문은 차세데 3D-TV 방송을 위해 수정된 ATSC (Modified Advanced Television Systems Committee) 시스템 [1]에서 파일럿 (Pilot)을 이용한 채널 추정 대신, PN 시퀀스 (Pseudo-Noise Sequence)를 이용한 채널 추정 방식의 문제점에 대하여 2가지 방법으로 연구하였다. PN 시퀀스를 이용하여 채널을 추정하는 TDS-OFDM (Time Domain Synchronous - Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)시스템은 QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) 변조 방식을 사용하기 때문에 수신측 PN 시퀀스의 위상 변화가 일어나지 않는다. 하지만 수정된 ATSC 시스템에서 사용하는 VSB (Vestigial Side Band)변조 방식에서 직교위상 (Quadrature) 채널을 통해 전송되는 값은 동위상 (In-Phase) 채널을 통해 전송되는 값의 단순한 힐버트 변환 (Hilbert Transform)에 의해 생성되어 불규칙한 위상 변화가 발생한다. 따라서 수정된 ATSC 시스템에서 채널 추정을 위해 PN 시퀀스를 사용하게 된다면 상관 (Correlation) 특성을 잃어버릴 것이며 올바른 채널 임펄스 응답 (Channel Impulse Response)을 얻을 수 없다.

A 5Gbps LiNbO$_3$ optical phase modulator was designed, packaged and it's properties were characterized for optical communications. The APE(annealed proton exchange) method was employed for the optical waveguide and the electrode of ACPS (asymmetric coplanar strip) type was formed by electro-plating on LiNbO$_3$ for applying microwave signal with a dimension of width 18${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, gap 9${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and length 50mm. The fabricated single-moded modulator operated at a 1550nm wavelength exhibits its modulation bandwidth, insertion loss and driving voltage of 7㎓, 3.0dB and 6V, respectively.

For the low power and low cost transceivers, direct sequence spread spec01m frequency-shift keying (DSSS-FSK) is proposed. A transmitter of the DSSS-FSK signal can be implemented by a simple direct modulation using the phase locked loop. Since the DSSS-FSK signal has negligible power around the carrier frequency, low cost direct conversion receiver can be used. Optimum coherent and semi-coherent correlation detection methods for the DSSS-FSK signal are proposed and analyzed. Segmented semi-coherent correlation detection method is proposed to improve the bit error rate performance in the large carrier frequency offset.

Bragg reflection of nonlinear waves is simulated by a 2D fully nonlinear numerical wave tank (NWT). The developed NWT was based on the Boundary Element Method (BEM) with potential theory and the mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian (MEL) time marching scheme with Runge-Kutta 4th-order time integration. A spatial variation of wave elevations and their Fourier amplitudes of each component are compared to investigate the effect of sea bottom ripples and their relative heights. The incident waves over an undulated sea bottom are partially reflected and changed to partial standing waves due to Bragg reflection. The present results are verified with linear calculations and experimental data. It is found that the 1st-order wave component is mainly affected by Bragg reflection and its spatial modulation is significant in front of the bottom ripples.

A 900-MHz band transceiver has been developed for RFID reader applications. In the transmitter, a GaAs SPST switch is used for high speed switching and low power consumption. In the receiver, a double balanced mixer is used to compress even-harmonic products. The ASK demodulator which consists of an active filter and comparator is used to reject the unwanted in band interferers. The transceiver produces a maximum transmitting power of 30 dBm and exhibits an 5 m communication range with a 6-dBi gain antenna.

One of the principal disadvantages of multicarrier modulation technique is the sensitivity to the frequency offset introduced by Doppler shift. This frequency offset introduces inter-carrier interference (ICI) among the multiplicity of carriers in the multicarrier modulated signal. However, Doppler spread induced by temporal channel variations can Provide another means for diversity. In this paper, we propose a modified multicarrier code division multiple access (CDMA) system to exploit Doppler diversity as well as multipath diversity. The key work of our framework is a canonical time-frequency-based decomposition of the mobile wireless channel into series of independent fading channel. The decomposition naturally leads to a time-frequency generalization of the Rake receiver that exploits both multipath and Doppler diversity.

This paper presents the design of a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave(FMCW) radar altimeter with wide altitude range and low measurement errors. Wide altitude range is achieved by employing the optic delay in the transmitting path to reduce the dynamic range of measuring altitude. Transmitting power and receiver gain are also controlled to have the dynamic range of the received power be reduced. In addition, low measurement errors are obtained by improving the sweep linearity using the Direct Digital Synthesizer(DDS) and minimizing the phase noise employing the reference clock(Ref_CLK) as the offset frequency of the Phase Locked Loop(PLL).
