Degradation of bit-error-rate (BER), caused by atmospheric turbulence, seriously hinders the performance of coherent Free Space Optical (FSO) communication systems. An adaptive optics system proves to be effective in suppressing the atmospheric turbulence. The holographic modal wavefront sensor (HMWFS) proposed in our previous work, noted for its fast detecting rates and insensitivity to beam scintillation, is applied to the coherent FSO communication systems. In this paper, based on our previous work, we first introduce the principle of the HMWFS in brief and give the BER of the coherent FSO with homodyne detection in theory, and then analyze the improvement of BER for a coherent FSO system based on our previous simulation works. The results show that the wavefront sensor we propose is better for weak atmospheric turbulence. The most obvious advantages of HMWFS are fast detecting rates and insensitivity to beam scintillation.

센서 어레이(sensor array)가 천이불변(shift invariance) 성질을 가질 때, ESPRIT(Estimation of Signal Parameter via Rotational Invariance Techniques) 방식은 이를 이용하여 어레이에 도래하는 신호의 도래각을 추정한다. 본 논문에서는 ESPRIT 방식을 적용하여 코히런트 신호의 도래각을 효과적으로 추정하는 방법을 제시한다. ESPRIT 방식은 신호부공간(signal subspace)을 이용한다. 코히런트 신호가 존재할 때, 신호부공간을 구하는 방법으로 SS(spatial smoothing) 방식이 널리 알려져 있으나 계산이 매우 복잡하다. 최근에 발표된 CV(correlation vector)에 기초한 방식은 계산은 간단하지만 SS 방식보다 작은 수의 신호를 분해한다. 제안 방식은 상관행렬의 일부를 이용하여 신호부공간을 구성하여 도래각을 추정한다. SS 방식과 비교하여, 제안 방식에서는 분해 가능한 신호의 수는 동일하면서 계산량을 크게 줄일 수 있다.

ISO/IEC/WD 24753은 장거리 RFID 통신을 위하여 새로운 변 복조 방법과 센서 데이터 처리를 위한 응용 프로토콜을 정의하고 있다. 이 표준안에 따르면, 태그의 주파수 오프셋은 4%이다. 일반적인 무선통신 시스템에서 많이 사용되는 동기방식의 수신기는 성능이 우수한 것으로 알려져 있으나, 만약 주파수 오프셋이 크면 성능이 저하되는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 장거리 센서태그 시스템의 주파수 오프셋 문제를 해결하기 위하여 비동기 방식의 수신기 구조를 설계하였다. 본 논문에서는 4% 주파수 오프셋을 갖는 수신 신호로부터 최적 주파수를 추정하기 위하여 9쌍의 상관기로 구성되는 주파수 추정 블록을 설계 하였으며, 수신 데이터로부터 페이로드의 시작 시점을 결정하기 위하여 별도로 구성된 이중 상관기를 이용하는 SFD(Start Frame delimiter) 검출 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 앞에서 제안한 방법들을 이용하여 장거리 RFID 리더를 구현하였으며, 유/무선 시험망을 통하여 그 성능을 평가하였다. 본 논문에서 구현한 장거리 RFID 리더는 인식거리 측면에서 기존의 방법을 사용하는 RFID 리더기보다 더 우수한 성능을 나타내었다.

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm, so called the Signal Decorrelation via Virtual Translation of Array (SDVTA) algorithm, for estimating the directions of arrival(DOA's) of narrowband coherent signals incident on a general array. An effective procedure is composed of transforming the steering matrix of the original array into that of the virtually translated sensor array and taking the average of the transformed covariance matrices in order to decorrelate the coherent signals. The advantage of this approach is in that 1) it can estimate the DOA's of m-1 coherent signals(M : the number of array sensors) since the effective aperture size is never reduced. 2) a geometry of array is unrestricted for solving the narrowband coherency problem. 3) the efficiency of signal decorrelation does not depend on the phase differences between coherent signals unlike the Coherent Signal Subspace Method (CSM). Simulation results are illustrated to demonstrate the superior performance of this new algorithm in comparison with the normal MUSIC and examine the comparative performance with the various choices of the optimal transformation matrix under coherent signal environments.

A high resolution algorithm is presented for resolving multiple coherent spread spectrum signals that are incident on an equispaced linear array. Unlike the conventional noise-eigenvector based methods, this algorithm makes use of the signal eigenvectors of the array spectral density matrix that are associates with eigenvalues that are larger than the sensor noise level. Simulation results are shown to demonstate the high performance of the proposed approach in comparison with MUSIC in which coherent signal subspace method (CSM) is employed.

We present measurements of the Brillouin frequency shift in an optical fiber using a 1550 nm distributed feedback laser diode(DFB-LD) as a light source. By modulating the probe light with an electro-optic modulator, we confirm the stimulated Brillouin gain spectrum(BGS) and spontaneous BGS using the coherent detection method. We also confirm the applicability of the technique to distributed temperature sensors that measure the change in Brillouin frequency shift due to temperature variations.

In this paper, the performance of AP(Alternating Projection) and EM(Expectation Maximization) algorithms is investigated in terms of detection of multiple signals, resolvability of coherent signals and the efficiency of sensor array processing. The basic idea of these algorithms is utilization of relaxation technique of successive 1D maximization to solve a direction finding problem by maximizing the multidimensional likelihood function. It means that the function is maximized over only for a single parameter while the other parameters are fixed at each step of the iteration. According to simulation results, the algorithms showed good performance for both incoherent and coherent multiple signals. Moreover, some advantages are identified for direction finding with very small samples and fast convergence. The performance of AP algorithm is compared with that of EM using multiple criteria such as the number of sensor, SNR, the number of samples, and convergence speed over uniform circular array. It is resulted AP algorithm is superior to EM overally except for one criterion, convergence speed. Especially, for EM algorithm there is no performance difference between incoherent and coherent case. In conclusion, AP and EM are viable and practical alternatives, which can be applied to a direction under due to the resolvability of multi-path signals, reliable performance and no troublesome eigen-decomposition of the sample-covariance matrix.

The buried fiber optic cable as a distributed intrusion sensor for detecting and locating intruders along the long perimeters is proposed. Phase changes resulting from either the pressure of the intruder on the ground immediately above the buried fiber or from seismic disturbances in the vicinity are sensed by a phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer. Light pulses from a Er:fiber cw laser with a narrow, <3kHz-range, spectral width and a frequency drift of < 1 MHz/min are injected into one end of the fiber, and the backscattered light from the fiber is monitored with a photodetector. Results of preliminary studies, measurement of phase changes produced by pressure and seismic disturbances in buried fiber optic cables and simulation of ${\varphi}-OTDR$ response over long fiber paths, to establish the feasibility of the concept are described. The field experiments indicate adequate phase changes, more than 1t-rad, are produced by intruders on foot and vehicle for burial depths in the 0.2 m to 1 m range in sand, clay and fine gravel soils. The simulations predict a range of 10 km with 35 m range resolution and 30 km with 90 m range resolution. This technology could in a cost-effective manner provide enhanced perimeter security.

When there are low signal to noise relationships or low coherences between measured pressure and a reference sensor, a pressure field measured and estimated by NAH (Nearfield Acoustic Holography) becomes noisy on the hologram and source planes. This paper proposes a method to obtain the high coherent de-noised pressure signals from low coherent noisy ones by combining a wavelet algorithm with NAH. The proposed method obtains the de-noised field from acoustic fields on a noise source plane reconstructed through backward propagation of NAH. Thus this method does not need high coherent pressure signals on the hologram surface while the conventional nearfield acoustic holography requires high-coherent signals. The proposed method was verified by numerical simulation using noisy signals, composed of original signals and imposed noises distributed on the hologram surface.

본 논문은 수중환경에서 비교적 근거리에 위치해 있는 목표물에서 방사되는 광대역 음원신호를 취득하여 목표물의 위치를 탐지하기 위한 표적추정 (Focused) 빔 형성 기법을 제안한다. 표적추정 (Focused) 빔 형성기 기법은 배열 센서를 사용하여 구면파 형태로 입사되는 방사 신호들의 각 센서로의 상이한 전달 지연 시간 성분들을 고려하여 센서 출력 신호들을 일정 시간 구간 동안 코히어런트하게 합해 줌으로써 목표물의 위치를 판단하게 된다. 이때 견인함의 이동에 의해 배열 센서의 형태가 시간적으로 변화하게 되며, 가상의 셀들로 분리된 이미지 공간상에서 각 셀과 배열 센서간의 기하학적인 구조 분석에 의해 계산된 시간 지연 값들을 이용하여 표적추정(Focused) 빔 형성 과정을 거친 최종적인 3차원 빔 패턴 출력을 얻게 된다. 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 N차 다항식 (polynomial) 근사법을 이용한 실제 수차 모형 배열 형태 추정을 하였으며 생성된 가상의 수차 모형 배열을 이용하여 각각의 주파수 대역에 따른 광대역 목표물에 대한 추정 성능을 분석하여 보았다.
