As follow jamming signals in a FHSS system cause malfuctioning in the code tracking circuits using early-late gates, we need a code tracking circuit that is robust against the follow jamming signals. In this paper, we propose a code tracking circuit using a linear clipper-Gaussian filter algorithm to remedy the malfunctioning due to the follow jamming signals in FHSS systems. We investigate the mechanism of the malfunctioning of the code tracking circuit and verify that the proposed linear clipper-Gaussian filter metigates the problem through mathematical analysis and computer simulations.

The demands of WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) systems increase rapidly in whole society and this phenonenon has been expected that WLAN wi11 substitute for wired-LAN. The FHSS(Frequency Hopped Spread Spectrum) method using the WLAN is changed to the performance of Frequency synthesizer. In this paper, we proposed pipeline-accumulator using ring-counter method instead of constant accumulator that has demerits of size and power consumption. Designed DDFS generated operating frequency of 167MHz and maximum output frequency of 83.5MHz.

In this paper, a blind hop timing and duration estimation scheme for FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) systems based on digital frequency discriminator and wavelet transform is proposed. The proposed scheme not only requires the lower hardware complexity but also shows superior estimation performance compared to the previously proposed temporal correlation function based hop timing estimation scheme.

This paper presents a Monte-Carlo based method to obtain a probability of interference in the 900MHz passive RFID systems. We show an efficient algorithm to calculate not only in-band interference due to unwanted emission of interfering sources for a given emission mask, but out-of-band interference, which depends on the blocking performances of a victim receiver filter. We next apply the proposed method to two types of RFID systems, one is to use simple FHSS and the other to adopt a hybrid use of FHSS and LBT, which senses the channel before transmission. Simulation is first performed with a SEAMCAT. We next make simulation with a MATLAB software which implements SEAMCAT algorithm and show both results from two softwares are similar.

In frequency hopping spread spectrum(FHSS) communication systems, exact frequency synchronization is required due to the random hopping of carrier frequencies between transmitter and receiver even under harsh channel conditions. For synchronization of FHSS communications, multi-frequency hopping synchronization(MFHS) method has been used in which a small set of frequencies are repeatedly sent several times for long duration. But this long duration resulted in being easily detected by the unauthorized users as well as long duration of acquisition time. In this paper, motivated by these problems, an adaptive synchronization method(ASM) is proposed. ASM is technics to reduce the synchronization time where the number of synchronization frequencies and repetition numbers is adaptively changed (increased or decreased) according to the channel conditions. The performance analysis showed that the time duration of synchronization was reduced to 0.2sec, and the influence of jamming or interference was decreased to 46% in ASM.

In this paper, the lessons and learns are introduced from the result of the trial project which is the first CBTC(Communication Based Train Control System) at Korail Bundang Line. This project has started end of 2002 and finished recently by Samsung SDS. The main purpose of this project was that new technology was seek for next generation of railway signal control system adapted in Korea. In 2002, there was no any revenue service system using Radio Frequency CBTC in the world at that time. Just a few trial project was on going in USA and EU. In well developed cities, the metro system have been built and old enough therefore they have to be considering re-signalling their existing system with advanced system for increasing availabilities of line usage and safety. This Bundang Line Trial Project was the first Korean CBTC project for above reasons. Most sub systems have been developed using local technology such as Electronics Controlled Interlocking System and Track Circuit Systems etc. Specially, in this project the RF-Communication devices are developed by local technology using DSSS(Direct Sequency Spread Spectrum) instead of FHSS(Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum). This project has lasted for more than five years originally planned for three years because it was only accessible only night time in the main line from Ori to Suseo about 20km long. Each night only 2 and half hours are available to use the main line. Now the trial project has been done successfully with meet the customer's requirement, therefore the upgrade the mainline of Bundang line and another extension area up to Wangsipli to make revenue service using this new technology. This paper shows this result of the trial project and the strategy of upgrade and extension project as well.

The CBTC(Communication based Train Control) and WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Network) systems employed on 2.4GHz ISM band wireless networks provide complementary service within the same environment. Coexistence between the networks will be impaired if the mutual packets are uncertainty associated the timing or gaussian distance. This paper analyzes the impact of the mutual interference and proposed method to minimize the effect of the WPAN system signals on CBTC system. The performance analysis is illustrated by examining the symbol error rate versus signal to noise interference ratio in terms of carrier frequency offset. The method contributes to reduce the symbol error rate drastically. However it can't be a fundamental solution for the impact on the interference problem. It may be needed for railway only frequency after checking the problems of the current railway frequency.
