본 논문에서는 한 쌍의 센서를 이용하여 미지의 수중 음향 신호의 시간지연의 차 (Time Delay Difference)를 추정하고 탐지하는 알고리즘을 다루고 있다. 전형적인 시간지연 차의 최적화 추정 기법은 두 신호의 상관관계(Cross Correlation)에 의한 ML(Maximum likelihood)추정으로 구할 수 있지만, 실제 수중 음향 환경 하에서 시간 지연뿐만 아니라 표 적의 이동에 의하여 발생하는 도플러 효과로 신호의 주파수도 변하게 된다. 이러한 신호 주 파수의 올바른 고려 없이 단순히 두 신호의 시간지연만을 추정하는 방법은 불가피한 에러를 생성하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 시시각각 변하는 시간지연의 차를 구하기 위한 준 최적화 기 법인 확률분포 함수의 Recursive Filter에 시간 지연 차와 도플러효과의 2차원 확률분포 함 수를 적용한 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 관측된 신호의 리샘플링(Resampling)을 통하여 도 플러 효과를 보상한 후 2차원 Conditional likelihood를 구하고 Projection과 Correction 과정 을 통하여 시간지연과 도플러 효과에 대한 사후확률을 구한다. 그리고 이러한 알고리즘을 가상 시나리오에 대한 모의실험을 통하여 평가한다.

The need of data transmission in oceans and other underwater mediums are increasing day by day, so as the research. The underwater medium is very different from that of air. Propagation of electromagnetic wave in water or underground is very difficult because of the conductivity of the propagation materials. In this case, we usually use acoustic signals as ultrasonic but, they are not easy to transfer long distance with coherent method because of time varying multipaths, Doppler effects and attenuations. So, we use non-coherent methods such as FSK or ASK to communicate between long distances. But, as the propagation speed of acoustic wave is very slow, BW of the channel is narrow. It is very hard to guaranty the enough speed for the transmission of digital image data. In previous studies, we proposed this data communication protocol theoretically. In this paper, an underwater channel is modeled and this protocol is tested in this channel condition. The results show that the protocol is 4-6 times faster than ASK. Some relations and results are shown depending on the data length, channel length, bit rate etc.

An equalization algorithm is proposed to guarantee a stable performance in fast fading channels for digital television (DTV) systems from the advanced television system committee (ATSC) standard. In channels with high Doppler shifts, the conventional equalization algorithm shows severe performance degradation. Although the conventional equalizer compensates poor channel conditions to some degree, long filter taps required to overcome long delay profiles are not suitable for fast fading channels. The Proposed sparse equalization algorithm is robust to the multipaths with long delay Profiles as well as fast fading by utilizing channel estimation and equalizer initialization. It can compensate fast fading channels with high Doppler shifts using a filter tap selection technique as well as variable step-sizes. Under the ATSC test channels, the proposed algorithm is analyzed and compared with the conventional equalizer. Although the proposed algorithm uses small number of filter taps compared to the conventional equalizer, it is stable and has the advantages of fast convergence and channel tracking.

For OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) systems, 2-D MMSE (2-Dimensional Minimum Mean Square Error) channel estimation provides optimal performance in frequency/time selective fading channel environment. However, the 2-D MMSE channel estimation has high computational complexity due to the large matrix size, because the 2-D MMSE channel estimation considers time as well as frequency axis for channel estimation. To reduce the computational complexity, we propose a modified 2-D MMSE channel estimator which is based on 1-D MMSE channel estimation with weighted sum. Furthermore, we consider RMS delay spread and Doppler frequency estimation for 2-D MMSE channel estimation. We show that the proposed method can significantly reduce computational complexity as well as that it can perform close to 2-D MMSE channel estimation.

Analysis of the contribution of each pass-by noise source to the overall pass-by noise is an important issue for reduction of pass-by noise. A technical approach for predicting tailpipe noise is used to identify the contribution of tailpipe noise to the pass-by noise in this study. Simulation program with a time domain engine modeling program called 'WAVE' and wave propagation theory of moving noise source are employed. Since the Doppler phenomenon causes a frequency shift during a pass-by noise test, the Doppler correction and time delay effects are incorporated into the estimation of tailpipe noise. The developed program can furnish an in-depth understanding of the effect of tailpipe to pass-by noise.

This paper presents the channel estimation method with STBC applied to IEEE802.11a. Tenacious channel estimation method for OFDM system, that generally uses STTC, has been presented once and massive amount of calculation was needed However, regarding this paper, the amount of calculation can be reduced by using Curve Fitting, and channel tracking performance improvement can be achieved Based on the estimation method, computer simulation was done for the performance analysis and delay spread Doppler frequency and many other group sizes and numbers were considered As a result of the testing, we found out that Doppler frequency deviation effects equally as frequency offset. Also compared to the existing technique, channel estimated performance confirmed that have 0.9dB SNR improvement than old method.

The positions of rotating sound sources have been localized by experiments with the Doppler effects removed. In order to de-Dopplerize the sound signals emitted from moving sources, two kinds of signal reconstruction methods were applied. One is the forward propagation method and the other is the backward propagation method. Forward propagation method analyze the source emission time based on the instantaneous distance between sensors and the assumed source position, then the signals are reconstructed with respect to the emission time. On the other hand, the backward method uses time delay to do-Dopplerize the acquired data for the received time of reference. In both techniques. the reconstructed signal data were processed using beamforming algorithm to produce power distributions at the frequencies of interest. Experiments have been carried out for varying frequencies, rotating speeds and the object distances. It is shown that the forward propagation method gives better performance in locating source position than the backward propagation method.

In OFDM system, frequency-domain sub-carriers of a symbol generally consist of data sub-carriers and scattered pilot sub-carriers and in the receiver, channel is estimated through time-axis interpolating pilot sub-carriers of several OFDM symbols. However, time-axis interpolation fails to keep track of rapid channel variation caused by fast moving receiver. Although symbol by symbol channel estimation without time-axis interpolation enables fast estimation, the performance is severely degraded for a long delay spread channel in a single frequency networks (SFNs) because of insufficient pilot sub-carriers. In this paper, a channel estimation scheme for OFDM receiver in a fast mobile SFN channel is proposed. The proposed scheme is applied to DVB-T receiver to improve the Doppler mobile performance in SFN channel.

Owing to the difficulties associated with conducting millimeter-wave (mmWave) field measurements, especially in high-speed train (HST) environments, most propagation channels for mmWave HST have been studied using methods based on simulation rather than measurement. In this study, considering a linear cell layout in which base stations are installed along a railway, measurements were performed at 28 GHz with a speed up to 170 km/h in two prevalent HST scenarios: viaduct and tunnel scenarios. By observing the channel impulse responses, we could identify single- and double-bounced multipath components (MPCs) caused by railway static structures such as overhead line equipment. These MPCs affect the delay spread and Doppler characteristics significantly. Moreover, we observed distinct path loss behaviors for the two scenarios, although both are considered line-of-sight (LoS) scenarios. In the tunnel scenario, the path loss exponent (PLE) is 1.3 owing to the waveguide effect, which indicates that the path loss is almost constant with respect to distance. However, the LoS PLE in the viaduct scenario is 2.46, which is slightly higher than the free-space loss.

A receiving array system can be applied for tonal noise analysis of underwater vehicles, but it is difficult to install and operate, and a lot of cost is required. In order to overcome this problem, this paper proposes a method to measure the tonal noise of underwater vehicle after synthesizing a virtual array using single receiver. The proposed method compensates the Doppler frequency and time delay caused by the movement of the underwater sound source and applies the focused beamforming technique. The performance of the proposed method was analyzed via simulation.
