The synchronization of OFDM receiver is consisted of symbol timing offset(STO) estimation in time domain and carrier frequency offset(CFO) estimation in frequency domain. This paper proposes new algorithm for correcting the integer CFO after we have done correcting the STO and partial CFO. ICFO must be corrected, since the ICFO lead to degrade bit error rate(BER) of demodulation performance. The PN sequence has information which is subcarrier order since the modified PN sequence, length is same subcarrier, is used in this paper and is modulated each subcarrier by each chip. Thus the receiver track phase of PN sequence after FFTin order to find the subcarrier frequency offset. The proposed algorithm is faster and more simple than convenient methode as measuring carrier energy.

In this paper, we propose a signal structure and its optimum receiver to improve performance of SC-FDE(Single Carrier with Frequency Domain Equalization) system. Conventional SC-FDE systems have a drawback of power unbalance in frequency domain due to generation of pilot signals in time domain. The unbalanced power in frequency domain induces a channel estimation error and the performance of the receiver is degraded significantly. To overcome the drawback we apply CAZAC sequence which has constant power distribution in time and frequency domain. We design the signal structure to improve the performance with the repeated CAZAC sequence, and we design a receiver to optimize the proposed structure. Computer simulation results show that the proposed structure is superior to the conventional structure considering frame synchronization, frequency synchronization and channel equalization on typical wireless mobile channel environment.

MRI imaging provides many benefits such as noninvasive, 3-dimensional imaging capabilities. But it has relatively serious drawback that is the long data collection time, compared with other imaging modality. Many studies have been performed for fast MR imaging. But EPI and SEPI (4-6) are required to expensive hardware. In this paper, we introduce to Burst imaging technique. It can reduce imaging time by use of a mulitple RF excitation technique. Further it is easily implemented to the normal MRI system. But a pixel profile in the conventional burst sequence is so poor that excited area by burst sequence is a small portion of a pixel. This causes poor signal to noise ratio in burst image. therefore frequency sweeping of RF pulse for burst imaging sequence is proposed to improve pixel profile. A burst pulse train is shaped by liner or nonlinear frequency sweeping function so that all the spins within a pixel are excited, thereby improving the signal to noise ratio. It also shows that the pixel profiles are dependent on how frequency sweep is made. Computer simulations with Bloch equation and experimental results obtained using a 1.0 T NMR imaging system are presented.

Digital watermarking is imperceptible and statistically undetectable information embeds into digital data. Most information in digital audio watermarking schemes have used binary random sequences. The embedded binary random sequence distorts and modifies the original data while it plays a vital role in security. In this paper, a binary random sequence to improve imperceptibility in perceptual region of the human auditory system is proposed. The basic idea of this work is a modification of a binary random sequence according to the frequency analysis of adjacent binary digits that have different signs in the sequence. The canonical signed digit code (CSDC) is also applied to modify a general binary random sequence and the pair-matching function between original and its modified version. In our experiment, frequency characteristics of the proposed binary random sequence was evaluated and analyzed by Bark scale representation of frequency and frequency gains.

In this paper, the front-end of a digital receiver with a 25 kHz carrier frequency, 5 kHz symbol rate, and any excess-bandwidth is designed using two basic facts. The first is known as the uniform sampling theorem, which states that the sampled sequence might not suffer from aliasing even if its sampling rate is lower than the Nyquist sampling rate if the analog signal is a bandpass one. The other fact is that if the sampling rate is 4 times the center frequency of the sampled sequence, the front-end processing complexity can be dramatically reduced due to the half of the sampled sequence to be multiplied by zero in the demixing process. Furthermore, the designed front-end is simplified by introducing sub-filters and sub-sampling sequences. The designed front-end is composed of an A/D converter, which takes samples of a bandpass filtered signal at a 20 kHz rate; a serial-to-parallel converter, which converts a sampled bandpass sequence to 4 parallel sub-sample sequences; 4 sub-filter blocks, which act as a frequency shifter and lowpass filter for a complex sequence; 4 synchronized switches; and 2 adders. The designed front-end dramatically reduces the computational complexity by more than 50% for frequency shifting and lowpass filtering operations since a conventional front-end requires a frequency shifting and two lowpass filtering operations to get one lowpass complex sample, while the proposed front-end requires only four filtering operation to get four lowpass complex samples, which is equivalent to one filtering operation for one sample.

The p-fluorobenzyl radical was generated from the p-fluorotoluene and vibronically excited in a corona excited supersonic expansion with inert buffer gases. The vibronic emission spectra of the jet cooled p-fluorobenzyl radical in the D1 → D0 transition have been observed in the visible region. The spectra exhibit several low frequency sequence bands in the vicinity of the every strong vibronic band. The characteristics of the sequence bands have been examined by varying the experimental conditions such as carrier gas and nozzle size to identify the origin of the transition in the spectra.

A reduced-state sequence estimation(RSSE) for trellis-coded (TC) 8PSK/cyclic prefixed single carrier(CPSC) with minimum mean-square error-liner equalization(MMSE-LE) on frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels is proposed. The Viterbi algorithm (VA) is used to search for the best path through the reduced-state trellis combined equalization and TCM decoding. The symbol error probability of the proposed scheme is confirmed by computer simulation.

This paper proposes a new multicarrier code division multiple access (CDMA) system. The proposed multicarrier CDMA system provides the advantages that the transmission bandwidth is more efficiently utilized by using divided spreading sequence, time and frequency diversity is achieved in frequency selective nultipath (acting channel, and inter-carrier interference (ICI) can be minimized by using specific data and code pattern. In this system, transmitted data bits are serial-to-parallel converted to some parallel branches. On each branch each bit is direct-sequence spread-spectrum modulated by divided spreading sequences and transmitted using orthogonal carriers. The receiver providers a Rake for each carrier, and the outputs of Rakes are combined to get time and frequency diversity. This multicarrier CDMA system allows additional flexibility in the choice of system parameters. Upon varying system parameters, bit error rate (BER) performance is examined for the proposed multicarrier CDMA system. Simulation results show that the proposed multicarrier CDMA scheme can achieve better performance than the other types of conventional multicarrier CDMA systems.

OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) communications system is very attractive for the high data rate transmissionin the frequency selective fading channel. Since OFDM has high PAPR(peak-to-average power ratio), OFDM signal may be distorted by the nonlinear HPA(high power amplifier). In this paper, we propose an improved dummy sequence scheme for reducing the PAPR in OFDM communication system. This method inserts each different dummy sequence at the predefined sub-carriers fur PAPR reduction. After IFFT, the OFDM data signal with the lowest PAPR is selected to transmit. The complementary sequence is used as dummy sequence. So, it can cut down the computation time and quantity because it dose not require the peak value optimization for finding the phase rotation factor and the transmission of the side information about the rotation factor unlike the PTS method.

In this paper, we present and analyze a robust frequency offset estimation scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems over radio communication channels. When there exists frequency offset, the loss of orthogonality occurs and the interference problem among several subcarriers in OFDM signals is introduced. The guard interval of OFDM signals is employed for estimating the frequency offset. Furthermore, in order to enhance the frequency offset estimation performance, a ternary sequence is utilized. A frequency offset is estimated based on the synchronized correlator output. The proposed frequency offset estimation scheme can be applied to track the carrier frequency offset of OFDM systems.
