This paper presents an SAR-data calibration technique using a well-calibrated scatterometer. At first a fully-polarimetric antenna pattern(magnitude and phase) of the antenna main-beam using a conducting sphere was measured. Then, this data were used to calibrate polarimetrically an auto-mounted network analyzer-based scatterometer system. This scatterometer system can be used to measure the accurate Mueller matrices of earth surfaces such as grass fields, rice fields and bare soil surfaces; i.e., the phase-difference parameters can be obtained as well as the radar scattering coefficients. If a polarimetrically calibrated scatterometer is operated at the same time with the SAR system, the scatterometer data can be used to correct the SAR data, especially the phase-difference parameters. It was found that the correction effect is remarkable for the degree of correlation ${\alpha}$, which is one of the phase-difference parameter, while the correction effect is negligible for the magnitude parameters(backscattering coefficients).

This paper deals with correction of frequency offset and analysis of quantization angle noise in the IEEE 802.1la OFDM system. The rotation phase per symbol due to the carrier frequency offset is estimated from auto-correlation of the short Preambles, which are over-sampled for the reduction of noise in OFDM signals. The pilot signals are introduced to estimate the rotation phase per OFDM symbol due to estimation error of the carrier frequency offset and the sampling frequency onset. During the estimation and correction of the frequency onsets, a CORDIC processor and a look-up table are used for the conversion between a rotation phase and its complex number. Being calculated by a limited number of bits in the CORDIC processor and the look-up table, the rotation phase and its complex number have quantization angle errors. The quantization errors are analyzed as SNR (signal to noise ratio) due to the quantization bit numbers. The minimum bit number is suggested to meet the specification of IEEE 802.1la properly. Finally, the quantization errors are evaluated through simulations on number of quantization bits and SNR of received signals.

In this paper, radar scattering coefficients of earth surfaces such as grass fields, rice fields and bare soil surfaces are measured by using an auto-mounted network analyzer-based scatterometer system. The scatterometer system is calibrated both the magnitude and phase in order to obtain the accurate Mueller matrices of the earth surfaces. Then the accurate scattering matrices can be obtain from the Mueller matrices. The degree of correlation $\alpha$ is also obtained by this procedure and is used to correct AirSAR data which are not calibrated with phase variations.

A RVDT is a sensor that measures angular displacement and the output signal of RVDT is a DSBSC-AM signal. For this reason, a DSBSC-AM demodulation processor is required to determine the angular displacement from the output signal. In this paper, DADC(Digital Angle to DC) which extracts the angular displacement from the output signal of a RVDT is implemented based-on modified Costas Loop usually used in the demodulation of DSBSC-AM signal by using FPGA. DADC can used with both 4-wire and 5-wire RVDTs and can exactly compensate the phase difference between the input excitation and output signals of a RVDT unlike the conventional analog RVDT signal conditioners which require external components. Since digital signal processing technique that can enhance the linearity is exploited, DADC shows 0.035% linearity error, which is smaller than 0.005% that of a conventional analog signal conditioner. The DADC are tested in an integrated experimental environment which includes a commercial RVDT sensor, ADC and an analog output block.

A two-dimensional optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) en/decoder composed of four double-ring resonator add/drop filters and three delay waveguides is designed, and a transfer matrix method combined with fast Fourier transform is implemented to provide numerical simulations for the en/decoder. The auto-correlation peak level over the maximum cross-correlation level is larger than 3 at the center of the correctly decoded pulse for most of wavelength hopping and spectral phase code combinations, which assures the BER lower than 10^-3 which corresponds to the forward error correction limit.
