The FMCW(Frequency Modulation Continuous Wave) radar possesses range-velocity ambiguity to identify the correct combination of beat frequencies for each target in the multi-target situation. It can lead to ghost targets and missing targets, and it can reduce the detection probability. In this pap er, we propose an effective identification algorithm for the correct pairs of beat frequencies and the signal processing hardware architecture to effectively support the algorithm. First, using the correlation of the detected up- and down-beat frequencies and Doppler frequencies, the possible combinations are determined. Then, final pairing algorithm is completed with the power spectrum density of the correlated up- and down-beat frequencies. The proposed hardware processor has the basic architecture consisting of beat-frequency registers, pairing table memory, and decision unit. This method will be useful to improve the radar detection probability and reduce the false alarm rate.

In this paper, a signal processing algorithm for software GPS receiver is proposed. The signal processor takes snapshot of the sampled If signal from the RF section of the GPS receiver. All the processing for code and carrier tracking and correlation are implemented using the digital signal processing techniques. In order to achieve fast code acquisition, correlation of the incoming GPS signal is performed using the FFT method, After code acquisition, to reduce the Doppler shift effect and increase the accuracy, the interpolation or the tracking are performed. The performance of the proposed processing algorithm is first evaluated using matlab/simulink. A signal acquisition board for sampling and logging GPS IF signal form the Mitel GPS RF chip set is constructed. In order to analyze the performance of the designed algorithm the experiments are performed and the results are analyzed.

This paper proposes a novel concept of adjusting the hardware size in a multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) receiver in real time as per the channel parameters such as delay spread, signal-to-noise ratio, transmission rate, and Doppler frequency. The fast Fourier transform (FFT) or inverse FFT (IFFT) size in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)/MC-CDMA transceivers varies from 1024 points to 16 points. Two low-power reconfigurable radix-4 256-point FFT processor architectures are proposed that can also be dynamically configured as 64-point and 16-point as per the channel parameters to prove the concept. By tailoring the clock of the higher FFT stages for longer FFTs and switching to shorter FFTs from longer FFTs, significant power saving is achieved. In addition, two 256 sub-carrier MC-CDMA receiver architectures are proposed which can also be configured for 64 sub-carriers in real time to prove the feasibility of the concept over the whole receiver.

In this paper, the mobile communication CH simulator is implemented in the baseband, using the Digital Signal Processor(TMS320C25), A/D and D/A converters. The Rayleigh CH is modeled by shaping the random noise source power spectrum. The statistical characteristics(Level Crossing Rate, Cumulative distribution Function, Probability Density Function) and the received fading signal's power's spectrum is observed when the doppler frequency is varied according to the variation of the vehicular velocity at the 222MHz band. And also the BER is measured when the baseband mobile CH simulator is applied to the GMSK(Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying` transmission rate: 16kbps, Bb T=0.25) modulator. The results shows the similar characteristics to be compared with the theoritically derived BER values of the discriminator type GMSK detection.

Recently, ESA (European Space Agency) has launched CryoSAT-2 for polar ice observations. CryoSAT-2 is equipped with a SIRAL (SAR/interferometric radar altimeter), which is a high spatial resolution radar altimeter. Conventional altimeters cannot measure a precise three-dimensional ground position because of the large footprint diameter, while SIRAL altimeter system accomplishes a precise three-dimensional ground positioning by means of interferometric synthetic aperture radar technique. In this study, we developed an efficient SIRAL SARIn mode processing technique to measure a precise three-dimensional ground position. We first simulated SIRAL SARIn RAW data for the ideal target by assuming the flat Earth and linear flight track, and second accessed the precision of three-dimensional geopositioning achieved by the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm consists of 1) azimuth processing that determines the squint angle from Doppler centroid, and 2) range processing that estimates the look angle from interferometric phase. In the ideal case, the precisions of look and squint angles achieved by the proposed algorithm were about -2.0 ${\mu}deg$ and 98.0 ${\mu}deg$, respectively, and the three-dimensional geopositioning accuracy was about 1.23 m, -0.02 m, and -0.30 m in X, Y and Z directions, respectively. This means that the SIRAL SARIn mode processing technique enables to measure the three-dimensional ground position with the precision of several meters.

ACROSS device, which is composed of an implantable microphone, a signal processor, and a vibrating transducer, is a fullyimplantable middle ear hearing device(F-IMEHD) for the recovery of patients with hearing loss. And since a microphone is implanted under skin and tissue at the temporal bones, the amplitude of the sound wave is attenuated by absorption and scattering. And the vibrating transducer attached to the ossicular chain caused also the different displacement from characteristic of the stapes. For the gain control of auditory signals, most of implantable hearing devices with the digital audio signal processor still apply to fitting rules of conventional hearing aid without regard to the effect of the implanted microphone and the vibrating transducer. So it should be taken into account the effect of the implantable microphone and the vibrating transducer to use the conventional audio fitting rule. The aim of this study was to measure gain characteristics caused by the implanted microphone and the vibrating transducer attached to the ossicle chains for the gain compensation of ACROSS device. Differential floating mass transducers (DFMT) of ACROSS device were clipped on four cadaver temporal bones. And after placing the DFMT on them, displacements of the ossicle chain with the DFMT operated by 1 $mA_{peak}$ current was measured using laser Doppler vibrometer. And the sensitivity of microphones under the sampled pig skin and the skin of 3 rat back were measured by stimulus of pure tones in frequency from 0.1 to 8.9 kHz. And we confirmed that the microphone implanted under skin showed poorer frequency response in the acoustic high-frequency band than it in the low- to mid- frequency band, and the resonant frequency of the stapes vibration was changed by attaching the DFMT on the incus, the displacement of the DFMT driven with 1 $mA_{rms}$ was higher by the amount of about 20 dB than that of cadaver's stapes driven by the sound presssure of 94 dB SPL in resonance frequency range.

보안 시스템에는 다양한 센서가 사용되고 있지만, 사생활 문제가 논란이 됨에 따라 레이다 센서가 대안으로 제시되고 있다. 그 중 PD (Pulse Doppler) 레이다는 짧은 펄스를 사용함으로써 수신부 복잡도가 증가하는 문제가 존재하나, FMCW (Frequency modulated continuous wave) 레이다는 그러한 제한이 적다는 장점이 있다. 그러나, FMCW 레이다는 2D-FFT (2-dimensional fast Fourier transform)를 사용하므로 기존의 센서에 비해서 상대적으로 높은 복잡도를 가지며, 정지해있는 표적에 대해 사람과 사물을 구분하기 어려운 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 1D-FFT와 위상 변화만으로 호흡 여부를 확인하여 사람과 사물을 구분할 수 있는 레이다 신호처리 프로세서의 설계 및 구현 결과를 제시한다. 제안된 신호처리 프로세서는 Verilog-HDL을 기반으로 설계하여 FPGA 디바이스에 기반하여 구현 및 검증하였다. LUT (Look up table) 6,425개, register 4,243개, 12,288개의 memory bit로 구현하여 92.1%의 정확도로 대상의 호흡 여부를 확인할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

레이더는 표적으로부터 반사된 신호의 크기, 도플러 속도로부터 표적의 거리, 속도 정보를 알 수 있으며, 이런 반사 신호의 특징들은 표적의 반사 특성과 기동에 의해 결정된다. 표적의 위치 정보에 대한 각도 오차는 합채널에 대한 차채널의 크기 비로부터 추출된다. 본 논문에서는 다기능 레이더의 성능을 평가하고 분석하기 위한 레이더 반사 신호 모의 장치(RSSE)에 대해 소개하였다. 개발된 레이더 반사 신호 모의 장치는 다채널 직접 디지털 합성(MC-DDS)을 이용하여, 재밍 신호를 포함한 다중 표적 환경을 모사할 수 있도록 구현되었으며, 효율적인 하드웨어 구조 설계를 통해 모사할 수 있는 표적의 수를 용이하게 확장할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 개발된 모의 장치의 요구 성능 및 기능을 시험 환경에서 확인하였으며, 신호 처리기(RSP)와의 연동 시험 구성에서 표적 탐지 성능을 입증하였다.

모노펄스 레이다에서 표적 신호와 동시에 입력되는 간섭 신호가 존재하는 경우, 간섭 신호에 대한 통계적 특성을 추출할 수 없어 공간 도메인에서의 신호처리만으로는 방향 추정 성능을 개선시킬 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 기존 모노펄스 신호처리부 앞단에 GSC(Generalized Sidelobe Canceller) 필터를 사용한 시간 도메인 신호처리를 전처리 과정으로 추가하여 방향 추정 성능을 개선시킬 수 있는 모노펄스 시스템을 제시한다. 제시한 시스템의 시공간 신호처리 과정을 보이며, 시뮬레이션을 통해 제시된 시스템의 성능을 보인다. 특히 주 채널(main channel) 필터의 탭(tap) 개수 및 추정한 도플러 오차에 따른 제시된 시스템의 성능을 보이고 기존 시스템들과 비교한다.
