Cooperative networks enhance the overall communication performance by combining signals from relay nodes and direct signal. In this paper, we analyze the performance of cooperative communication systems which use mixed relaying protocols. By assuming several relay nodes exist between the source node and destination node, we consider the systems use not a single relaying protocol but both decode-and-forward and amplify-and-forward protocols randomly. We analyze the effect of each relying protocol for the overall system performance, and also consider the performance depending on the relay location. Differential modulation scheme which demodulates signal without channel state information is adopted where it can be applicable fast varying channel such as railway environments.

This paper is about power line communication(PLC) over the low power voltage grid. The main advantage with power line communication is the use of an existing infrastructure. The PLC channel can be modeled as having multi-path propagation with frequency-selective fading, typical power lines exhibit signal attenuation increasing with length and frequency. OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is a modulation technique where multiple low data rate carriers are combined by a transmitter to form a composite high data rate transmission. The performance in consideration of the multi-path(echoes) powerline scheme is analyzed and verified by computer simulation.

To measure temporal variability of long- range transmission in northern part of the East Sea of Korea, low frequency acoustic sources were deployed on the continental shelf 0.4km south of Cape Shultz near the port of Vladivostok during October 1999. The transmissions of the phase modulated signals were recorded by VLA moored on the northern slope of Ulleung-do. The measured signals were processed for the acoustic arrivals and their variability in time. The temporal signal processing involves pulse compression of the phase-encoded signal, time spread and temporal coherence processing. Variability of the ocean sound speed field in time scales of short period seems to be dominated by random fluctuations caused by sound speed perturbation due to the vertical displacements associated with internal waves.

In this paper, we compose of the utility interactive photovoltaic(PV) generation system with a PWM stepdown chopper and a current source inverter. The stepdown chopper is controlled by the several gate pulses (twice frequency of utility voltage, square pulse and without the chopper) of chopper part to reduce pulsation of DC current and size of DC reactor. PV current only is measured for maximum power point tracking without any influence on the variation of insolation and temperature. Therefore, we can control modulation factor of the chopper to operate at maximum power point of solar cell. And, the utility interactive photovoltaic generation system supplies an AC power to the load and the utility power system.

This paper is designed and implemented mixer of 12GHz/14GHz as up-conversion. Observation that harmonics and intermodulation power level varied by two signal power level and bias obtained operation points of mixer. Finally, optimum operation points shows that $P_{RF}$(radio signal frequency power level). $P_{LO}$(local oscillation power level) is below -30[dBm], -2[dBm] respectively. Simultaneously $V_{DS}$ is 2.7[V]and $V_{GS}$ is -0.2[V].

In this paper, the wide-band CDMA transmitter for 2 GHz band is designed and implemented. The CC-OQPSK implemented as ASIC has better spectral and power efficiency than the conventional QPSK system because it has constant envelope characteristics. Good harmonics rejection characteristics and gain of 20 dB are shown on the intermediate frequency stage using double-conversion scheme. The output power of two-stage RF amplifier is +2l.14 dBm in 1.9 GHz band. It is confirmed that the electrical characteristics of the transmitter satisfy with required the specification of the wide-band CDMA transmitter for 2 GHz band.

본 논문에서는 OFDM/HL-16QAM 시스템의 성능을 구하였다. OFDM/HL-16QAM은 계층적 16QAM을 채용하는 OFDM 시스템으로서 열악한 다중경로 페이딩 환경에서 고품질의 고속 데이터 전송이 가능하고 서로 다른 품질의 두 가지 데이터 서비스를 동시에 제공할 수 있는 시스템이다. 성능평가를 위한 무선 채널로서는 AWGN과 다중경로 페이딩이 존재하는 무선 환경을 고려했다. 각각의 채널환경에서의 시뮬레이션을 통해 데이터 전송시의 OFDM/HL-16QAM 시스템에 대해 Eb/No와 반송파 수에 따른 BER 성능을 구해냈고, 이로부터 고품질과 저품질의 데이터 서비스를 모두 만족시키기 위해 요구되는 최소 평균 SNR 값을 제시했다. 이미지 전송에 응용하기 위한 방안으로는, 영상 압축을 위해 DCT 기반의 고정길이 부호기법을 채용하는 OFDM/HL-16QAM 시스템을 제안하고, 수신 영상의 PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise power Ratio)을 최대화시키는 최적 계층 변조 파라미터를 구했다. 또한, 최적화된 계층 변조 파라미터를 사용하는 경우, 제안한 시스템을 통한 수신 영상 품질이 기존의 OFDM/16QAM 시스템보다 우수하다는 것을 보였고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 수신 영상에 대한 PSNR의 상한과 하한을 구해냈다. 성능분석 결과들로부터 제안한 OFDM/HL-16QAM 시스템이 데이터와 이미지 전송에 적합한 시스템이라는 것을 알 수 있다.

This paper presents an impact of flicker for various binary modulations of visible light communication (VLC) under dimming requirement. While previous approaches consider the statistics of the signal that cannot capture contributions of dynamic impacts of flicker, the power spectral density is evaluated for various VLC transmission schemes of dimming support. This enables to compare transmission schemes with the contribution of low and intermediate frequency components to flicker. Numerical results show that analog dimming has advantages over other techniques in terms of flicker and signal processing with waveforms and symbol distribution allows to mitigate flicker effects.

If visible light communication is to be used against large background noise in indoor environment, low frequency noise should be avoided. To maintain the advantages of LED lighting while transmitting signals, LEDs should be dimmable and free from flickering effect. In this paper, the spectrum of transmission signal is shifted toward high frequency for this purpose. Specifically, we propose a subpulse-VPPM scheme, which can be designed using only digital components, and we implement a test-bed for performance measurement.

This paper describes the simple single phase air-conditioner of power factor correction (PFC) circuit. By adopting PFC in the rectifier, we can reduce harmonic into power line, improve the efficiency and lower the total system cost compared to conventional inviter only. Also, system performance is improved by stabilizing the output voltage of PFC. To improve the current waveform of diode rectifiers, we propose a new operating principle for the voltage diode rectifiers. A circuit design method is shown by experimentation and confirmed simulation. It explained that compared conventional pulse-width modulated (PWM) inverter with half pulse-width modulated (HPWM) inverter HPWM inverter. Proposed HPWM inverter eliminated dead-time by lowering switching loss and holding over-shooting.
