Spectrum sensing is an integral part of cognitive radio, which seeks to address the perceived spectrum scarcity that is caused by inefficient utilization of the available spectrum. In this paper, a spectrum sensing system using energy detection for analog TV and FM broadcast transmitters as well as modified Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting Terrestrial (ISDB-T) signals is implemented on a software-defined radio platform using GNU' Not Unix (GNU) radio and the N200 Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP). Real-time implementation and experimental tests were conducted in Metro Cebu, a highly urbanized area in the southern part of the Philippines. Extensive tests and measurements were necessary to determine spectrum availability, particularly in the TV band. This is in support of the Philippine government' efforts to provide internet connectivity to rural areas. Experimental results have so far met IEEE 802.22 requirements for energy detection spectrum sensing. The designed system detected signals at -114 dBm within a sensing time of 100 ms. Furthermore, the required $P_d({\geq}90)$ and $P_{fa}({\leq}10)$ of the standard were also achieved with different thresholds for various signal sources representing primary users.

In the future, satellite communication systems, such as ISDB in Japan and DVB in Europe, are required to support higher transmission date rate for providing multimedia services including HDTV, high rate data communication etc. Considering the effectiveness of OFDM technique in efficient usage of frequency bandwidth and its robustness to the multi-path fading, several OFDM based standards have been proposed for satellite communication. However, the problem of high Peak to Average Power Ratio is one of the main obstacles for the implementation of OFDM based system. Many PAPR reduction schemes have been proposed for OFDM systems. Among these, the partial transmit sequences (PTS) is attractive as they obtain better PAPR property by modifying OFDM signals without distortion. In this paper, considering the complexity issue, we present a simplified minimum maximum (minimax) criterion and Sub-Optimal PTS algorithm to optimize the phase factor. This algorithm can be dynamically made tradeoff`f between performance and complexity on demand. In addition, we integrate guided scrambling (GS) with this method. Simulation in multiple antenna based OFDM system proves that the proposed Hybrid schemes can get much more PAPR reduction and do not require transmission of side information (SI). Thus it is helpful when implementing OFDM technique in satellite communication system.

위성 DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) 시스템은 도심 환경에서 위성으로부터의 감쇄된 신호를 증폭하기 위하여 별도의 수신신호 증폭을 위한 지상 중계기(Gap-filler)를 필요로 한다. 따라서 Gap-filler를 통해 증폭된 신호는 위성으로부터 직접 수신된 신호에 비하여 위성 DMB 시스템 간에 보다 더 큰 간섭을 야기한다. Gap-filler를 통해 발생된 위성 DMB 시스템 간의 간섭에 의해 위성 DMB 시스템의 Outage Capacity가 제한될 수 있기 때문에, 위성 DMB 시스템 간의 상호간섭 효과를 최소화 하여야 각 시스템의 기대 Outage Capacity를 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 ITU-R BO. 1130-4를 토대로, 보다 정확한 파라미터를 사용한 시스템 레벨 시뮬레이션을 통해 위성 DMB 시스템간의 상호간섭을 분석하고, 각 시스템의 Gap-filer에서 설정한 Spectrum Mask를 이용하여 간섭을 최소화하고 Outage Capacity를 극대화하기 위한 Gap-filler를 이용하는 위성 DMB 시스템간의 보호대역 및 적정 셀 반경을 제안한다.
