In this paper, we propose and evaluate symbol timing recovery algorithm for S-DMT cable modern, which supports more channels and better quality symmetric mutimedia service over HFC network. We adopt timing recovery algorithm of PN sequence insertion in time domain and evaluate the performance of it in various noise channel such as AWGN, ISI, impulse. We verified that performance of this algorithm is depends on the channel noise environment and sampling clock offset and that over 10 dB degradation of Eb/No is occurred at the timing failure probability of $10^3$ in the composite noise channel of AWGN, ISI, and impulse in comparison with impulse noise-alone channel. finally, we verified that this algorithm showed good timing failure probability in case of sampling clock optimization was performed in advance.

In this paper, we design the sliding correlator SS transceiver which supports short message service. We also analyze the PN code acquisition circuit that is essential for spread spectrum receiver. Using Maxplus II tool provided by altera Co., Ltd, we have designed PN code generator, and sliding correlator for PN code acquisition. Then, they have been made into FPGA by way of EPM7064SLC44-10 - a chip of Altera Co., Ltd. Additionally, we have designed delay clock circuit which is faster than the clock of Tx PN clock, designed switching circuit to control the clock rate and data demodulation circuit. The performance of the transceiver is evaluated from the experimental results. Especially, the performance of PN code acquisition accomplished by sliding correlator which is very important to evaluate spread spectrum receiver is evaluated with the comparison of the lock states.

There are two major factors of degrading the performance in the forward link of DS/CDMA systems. One is the multiple access interference (MAI) caused by using the same frequency bands simultaneously and the other is the multipath lading due to multipath propagation. PN codes which have minimum cross correlation properties among spread spectrum codes are necessary to reduce the MAI. In the conventional IS-95A system, the PN sequence has the period of $2^{15}$ and is of the length of 64 chips for spreading each data. In this case, since the length of PN code per bit is very short compared to the period of the PN code, the performance of the conventional system is not satisfied in view of suppressing the multipath interference. However, the correlation property of the PN codes at the demodulation can be improved by increasing the interval of Integration at the demodulation. This paper proposes a demodulation method to reduce the cross correlation among PN codes. The performance of the proposed demodulation method is investigated through computer simulations. We used multipath Ray lading channel and AWGN channel in the simulation. Our simulation results show the improved performance of $0.25{\sim}0.5dB$ SNR in a given BER compared to the conventional demodulation scheme.

In this paper, we studied the novel synchronization algorithm for cooperative communication system over fading. We research mainly on the decode-and-forward scheme. Also, we inserted spreading sequence in origin data frame to control efficiently data synchronization. In mobile station, inserted spreading sequence in data frame passed through the corelation process. We had decide the delay value of received data through result of correlation process. In simulation, We applied that channel gain of three node had different value in various fading environment. Finally we will be possible to control the received data synchronization using result of corelation value in each node between relay to mobile station and base station to mobile station. The results of this paper can be applicable to the cooperative systems.

In frequency selective channels, conventional PN code acquisition schemes are not ideal candidates. This is because they are primarily designed for the AWGN channel. In this paper, a direct-sequence spread-spectrum(DSSS) PN code acquisition system based on digital matched filtering (DMF) with automatic threshold control(ATC) algorithm is presented and analyzed with regards to probability of detection and probability of false alarm. These two important probabilities, the probability of detection ($P_D$) and the probability of false alarm ($P_{FA}$) are derived and analyzed in considering Doppler shift, sampling rate, mean acquisition time, and PN chip rate in frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel when using serial-search method as detection technique. From computer simulation results of a DMF acquisition system model, it is shown that the performance of the acquisition system using ATC algorithm is better than that of constant threshold system.

In this paper, described is the comparison of performances based on the computer simulation under IMT-2000 environment between multicode and multicarrier CDMA system for the design of wireless systems using wideband CDMA technology. From simulation results, it can be concluded that both multicode and multicarrier CDMA scheme show comparable performances. Diversity scheme of RAKE receiver is indispensible for both multicode and multicarrier CDMA systems under IMT-2000 outdoor B and vehicular B channel environment. Either Hadamard matrix or PN sequence can be used as the orthogonal code as far as the orthogonality is kept. Finally, with increasing chip rate and less users, performance is getting better.

In this paper, we analyze the block error performance of the CDMA system, whose information data are spread spectrum with PN sequences, and the chip signals are modulated with BPSK signal, combining MRC(Maximum Ratio Combine) diversity techniques with repetition transmission, FEC(Forward Error Correction) code in mobile communication channel which is characterized by Nakagami fading. As a results of study, the coding techniques provide more efficient improvement than a diversity techniques, but coding techniques are required the adding bandwidth as many coding rate. Also, when the system is combined MRC diversity techniques with coding techniques, the amount of improvement is dramatically increased.

This paper covers the detection of covert direct sequence spread spectrum signal without the PN(Pseudo Noise) code information. Due to its low probability of interception, the difficulty of spectrum surveillance increases. Detection parameters are the signal existence of given bandwidth, the length of spreading sequence used by transmitter, and the identification of spreading code for detected chip length. The triple correlation function(TCF) value which is one of the higher order statistical signal processing techniques can be used to detect spread spectrum signal without a prior knowledge, but, it has weakness that TCF results depend on the spread data sequence in actual application. This paper proposes the new scheme that not only overcomes the weakness but also presents better performance than the traditional TCF scheme. The performance comparison of conventional TCF with proposed technique shows that the triple correlation estimator(TCE) has better detection capability.

Recently, the need for disaster-preventing broadcast has increased gradually to cope with natural disaster like earthquake and tsunami causing enormous losses of both life and property. In disaster-preventing broadcast system, the wake-up signal is used to alert user terminal and switch the current state of channel to the emergency channel, which is for the fast and efficient delivery of emergency information. In this paper, we propose the detection method of wake-up signal for disaster-preventing broadcast systems. The wake-up signals for disaster-preventing broadcast should have a good auto-correlation property in low power and narrow-band conditions that does not affect the existing digital television (DTV) system. The suitability of the m-sequence and complementary code (CC) is analyzed for wake-up signals according to signal to noise ratio. A wake-up signal is proposed by combining the direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technique and pseudo noise (PN) sequences such as Barker and Walsh-Hadamard codes. By using the proposed method, a higher detecting performance can be achieved by the spreading gain compared to the single long m-sequence and the Golay code.

본 논문에서는 DTV 시스템을 대상으로 PN 시퀀스를 이용한 MCLT(Modulated Complex Lapped Transform) 기반 오디오 워터마크 알고리즘에 대한 BER 및 PEAQ(Perceptual Evaluation of Audio Quality) 성능 평가를 통해 오디오 신호 압축에 대한 워터마크의 강인성 및 워터마크 삽입에 따른 오디오 품질 열화 정도를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 오디오 신호 특성을 고려한 프로그램 장르별 시험용 방송 콘텐츠를 제작하고, Lab. Test 를 위한 DTV 송수신 시스템을 구축하였다. 오디오 인코딩 비트율 변화에 따른 성능 평가 결과, 광고 콘텐츠를 제외한 평균 BER(%)에서 192kbps 비트율이 128kpbs 비트율에 비해 0.0767 더 우수한 성능을 보였다. 오디오 워터마크 삽입에 따른 객관적 음질 평가에서는 PEAQ 점수가 약 -0.2 로 원래 오디오 신호와의 품질 차이가 매우 작은 것으로 나타났으며, 또한 DTV 시스템상의 신호 압축에 의해 발생하는 오디오 신호의 품질 저하 이외에 워터마크 삽입으로 인한 추가적인 음질 저하는 거의 발생하지 않는 것으로 분석되었다.
