The carrier-to-noise power ratio is a key parameter for determining the reliability of PVT (Position, Velocity, and Time) solutions which are obtained by a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver. It is also used for locking a tracking loop, deciding the re-acquisition process, and processing advanced navigation in the receiver subsystem. The representative carrier-to-noise power ratio estimation schemes are the narrowband-wideband power ratio method (NW), the MM (Moment Method), and Beaulieu's method (BL). The NW scheme is the most classical one for commercial GNSS receivers. It is often used as an authoritative benchmark for assessing carrier-to-noise power estimation schemes. The MM scheme is the least biased solution among them, and the BL scheme is a simpler scheme than the MM scheme. This paper focuses on the less biased estimation with low complexity when the residual phase noise remains, then proposes a novel carrier-to-noise power ratio estimation scheme with low complexity for GNSS receivers. The asymptotic bias of the proposed scheme is derived and compared with others, and the simulation results demonstrate that the complexity of the proposed scheme is lowest among them, while the estimation performance of the proposed scheme is similar to those of the BL and MM schemes in normal and high gained reception environments.

아나로그 무선통신계와 디지털 무선통신계가 각기 동일 무선주파수대의 인접 주파수를 사용함에 의한 통신방식간 간섭이 존재하는 경우에 이들 두 무선통신계가 공존하기 위한 최적조건을 구할 것을 목적으로 하여 디지탈계의 대표적 방식인 위상변조(PSK) 무선신호가 아나로그계의 대표적 방식인 주파수변조(FM)무선신호에 미치는 통신방식간 간접(동일 채널 간섭 및 인접 채널 간섭)의 영향을 해석했다. 해석방법으로는 가우스성 잡음과 간섭신호에 의해 검파기의 출력단에 나타나는 출력기서대역 간접잡음(output baseband interference noise)의 근사식을 유도하여 FM신호의 최고 채널(top channel)에서의 신호 대 간접잡음 전력비(SNR:Signal-to Noise Ratio)의 수치계싼을 행했다. 얻어진 결과는 반송파 대 간접파 전력비(CIR:Carrier-to-Interferer Ratio). 반송파 대 잡음전력비(CNR:Carrier-to-Noise Ratio)및 정규화 반송파 주파수차(normalized carrier frequency separation)의 함수로서 그래프로 나타냈고 각각에 대한 검토를 행했다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 디지탈 PSK채널에 의한 통신 방식간 간섭을 받는 아나로그 FM채널에 대한 최적 또는 적당한 운용조건(주파수 간격, 대역폭, 전력 등)의 예측이 가능하다.

Analyses of performance of wireless broadband communication systems employing fiber-optic link have presented. We have analyzed CNR penalty to evaluate system performance by taking into account, radio link considering rainfall attenuation, and optical link considering several carrier-to-noise ratio versus the optical modulation index.

A narrow loop noise bandwidth method is desirable to reduce the error of raw measurements due to the thermal noise. However, it degrades the performance of GPS initial synchronization such as mean acquisition time. And it restricts the loop noise bandwidth to a fixed value determined by the lower bound of the allowable range of carrier-to-noise power ratio, so that it is difficult to optimally track GPS signal. In order to make up for the weak points of the fixed-type narrow loop noise bandwidth method and simultaneously minimize the error of code and carrier measurements, this paper proposes a stepwise-type adaptive bandwidth algorithm for DGPS reference receivers. In this paper, it is shown that the proposed adaptive bandwidth algorithm can provide more accurate measurements than those of the fixed-type narrow loop noise bandwidth method, in view of analyzing the simulation results between two signal tracking algorithms. This paper also carries out sensitivity analysis of the proposed adaptive bandwidth algorithm due to the estimation uncertainty of carrier-to-noise power ratio. Finally the analysis results are verified by the experiment using GPS simulator.

In this paper, we derive the CRLB (Cramer-Rao Lower Bound) of effective carrier-to-noise power ratio ($C/N_0$) estimation for a GPS (Global Positioning System) L1 C/A (Coarse/Acquisition) signal under band-limited white noise jamming environments. The quality of a received GPS signal is commonly described in terms of its $C/N_0$, implying that the noise is white and thus can be described by scalar noise density. However, if some intentional interference is received to a victim GPS receiver, then the $C/N_0$ is no longer the efficacious performance indicator. The correct and straightforward measurement to analyze the receiving situation is the effective $C/N_0$. In this paper, we consider a band-limited white noise jamming whose bandwidth is 2MHz and is the same as one of the first null-to-null bandwidth of the GPS L1 C/A signal.

Phase locked AM신호 검파방식에서는 위상고정회로를 사용하여 입력신호로부터 반송신호를 분리 재생시킨다. 입력잡음은 백색 Gaussian잡음이고, 전려제어발진기의 자유발진주파수와 입력반송신호주파수가 같다는 가정하에 위상고정회로의 동작특성을 해석하고, 본 검파방식의 신호대 잡음비를 정량적으로 고찰하였다. Phase locked AM신호 검파방식은 종래의 검파방식에 비해서 잡음의 영향을 적게 받게됨을 본 해석에서 알 수 있다. In the phase locked AM signal detection, phase locked loop is used to extract a synchronous carrier from an input AM signal. Under the assumption that input noise is white Gaussian and free-running frequency of voltage controlled oscillator is the same that of an input carrier, operational behaviours of phase locked loop is analyzed and signal to noise ratio of the detection is derived quentitatively. The results show that the phase locked AM signal detection method offers a higher degree of noise mmunity than conventional AM signal detections.

A quality check algorithm for the Weather Information Service Engine pulsed Doppler wind lidar is developed from a view point of spatial and temporal consistencies of observed wind speed. Threshold values for quality check are determined by statistical analysis on the standard deviation of 3-component of wind speed obtained by a wind lidar, and the vertical gradient of horizontal wind speed obtained by a radiosonde system. The algorithm includes carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) check, data availability check, and vertical gradient of horizontal wind speed check. That is, data sets whose CNR is less than -29 dB, data availability is less than 90%, or vertical gradient of horizontal wind speed is less than $-0.028s^{-1}$ or larger than $0.032s^{-1}$ are classified as 'doubtful', and flagged. The developed quality check algorithm is applied to data obtained at Bucheon station for the period from 1 to 30 September 2015. It is found that the number of 'doubtful' data shows maxima around 2000 m high, but the ratio of 'doubtful' to height-total data increases with increasing height due to atmospheric boundary height, cloud, or rainfall, etc. It is also found that the quality check by data availability is more effective than those by carrier to noise ratio or vertical gradient of horizontal wind speed to remove an erroneous noise data.

다치 직교 PRS(Partial Response Signaling) 시스템이 잡음, 간섭, 캐리어옵\ulcornerV, 위상지터, 페이딩 등에 의해 개별적으로 또는 복합적으로 영향을 받았을 경우에 대한 PRS 신호의 오율식을 유도하였다. 유도된 식에 의해 반송파 대잡음 전력비, 반송파 대 간섭파 전력비, 위상에러, 임펄스 지수, 가우스성 잡음전력 대 임펄스성 잡음 전력비, PLL(Phase Locked Loop)의 신호 대 잡음전력비, 페이딩 지수 등을 함수로 하여 수치계산을 통해 각 경우의 오율특성을 구했다. 얻은 결과로부터, 일반적으로 임펄스성 잡음보다 오율 특성을 보다 더 열화시키지만 일단 신호가 페이딩을 받게되면 그 반대로 가우스성 잡음이 임펄스성 잡음보다 더욱 에러를 발생시킨다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This paper proposes an impulse response shortening algorithm applicable to decision feedback equalization of single carrier wideband signal. When he impulse response shortening methods for narrowband signaling are applied to single carrier wideband signals, they result in noise enhancement problem, significantly deterioriting the receiver performance. This problem can be alleviated by educing the eigenvalue spread ratio of the impulse response, which can be achieved by adding additive white noise with small variance to the impulse response of the channel. The performance of the proposed scheme is verified by computer simulation.
