  • In ocean field, the spread of the Fourth Industrial Revolution based on information and communication technology requires high precision and stable PNT&D (Position, Navigation, Timing and Data). As the IMO (International Maritime Organization) and IALA (The International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities) are requiring backup systems due to mitigate vulnerabilities and the increase of dependency on GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), Korea is conducting a research & development of R-Mode. An DGPS (Differentiate Global Positioning System) reference station that uses MF, an existing maritime infrastructure, and AIS (Automatic Identification System) base stations that use 34 integrity station and VHF will be utilized in this study to avoid redundant investment. Because there are radio shadow areas that display low signal levels in the west sea, the establishment of new R-Mode reference and integrity station will be intended to resolve problems regrading the radio shadow area. Because the frequency has a characteristic in that radio wave transmits well along the ground (water surface) in low frequency band, simulation and measurement were conducted therefore this paper to propose candidate sites for R-Mode reference and integrity station resulted through p wave's propagation characteristics analysis. Using this paper, R-Mode reference and integrity station can be established at appropriate locations to resolve radio shadow areas in other regions.

  • Channel-based radio-frequency fingerprinting such as a channel impulse response (CIR), channel transfer function (CTF), and frequency coherence function (FCF) have been recently proposed to improve the accuracy at the physical layer; however, their empirical performance, advantages, and limitations have not been well reported. This paper provides a comprehensive empirical performance evaluation of RF location fingerprinting, focusing on a comparison of received-signal strength, CIR-, CTF-, and FCF-based fingerprinting using the weighted k-nearest neighbor pattern recognition technique. Frequency domain channel measurements in the IEEE 802.11 band taken on a university campus were used to evaluate the accuracy of the fingerprinting types and their robustness to human-induced motion perturbations of the channel. The localization performance was analyzed, and the results are described using the spatial and temporal radio propagation characteristics. In particular, we introduce the coherence region to explain the spatial properties and investigate the impact of the Doppler spread in time-varying channels on the time coherence of RF fingerprint structures.

  • There are several factors that disturb an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radio propagation in an indoor environment such as path loss, shadowing and multipath fading. These factors directly affect the quality of the received signal. In this paper, we investigated the influence of the human body shadowing on UWB propagation based on measured wireless channel in an anechoic chamber. The characteristics of the UWB channel including the transmitter and the receiver antenna effects are acquired over the frequency bandwidth of 3${\sim}$11 GHz. The major factors such as the power delay profile (PDP), the angular power distribution (APD), the pulse distortion and the RMS delay spread caused by the human body shadowing are presented.

  • In this paper, we measured and analyzed propagation characteristics in a subway tunnel that is recently increasingly becoming one of the radio communication environments. The measurements are carried out in a subway tunnel with frequency bands of 2.45㎓ and 5.8㎓. The length of tunnel we used for this study is 175m of LOS (Line-of-sight) and 270m of NLOS (Non Line-of-Sight). The subway tunnel is curved and its cross section is horseshoe type. The measurement systems we employ in this study are a narrow-band system and a wide-band system. The narrow-band system is used to get path loss measurement and the wide-band system is used to figure out delay profile measurement. In particular, the wide-band system consists of 1023 length PN sequence generator using a chip rate of 80MHz based on a sliding correlation technique. The omni-directional antennas and directional antennas are used to analyze propagation characteristics for beam type of antenna. The path loss displays only pure path loss of a tunnel environment. The delay profile indicates the mean excess delay and RMS (root mean square) delay spread.

  • In this paper, the propagating-wave attenuation characteristics at 1, 3, and 6 GHz in the open environment roadway where the ground-reflected wave dominates are analyzed through a propagation model simulation using a ray-tracing method and propagation measurements. Simulations has been performed by varying the ground material, the transmitting antenna height, and the receiving antenna height. The measurements were conducted using a directional transmission antenna installed at 10 m mast and a omnidirectional receiving antenna installed at 1.5 m mast in an open environment. Comparison of simulation and measurement results confirms that the null points having the weak signal strength depend on those parameters. Although this research has been investigated for the wide road, the derived result could be useful for installing the transmitter and receiver in the roadway open environment.

  • Due to diversification and popularization of devices that use rapid transmission, there are many security issues related to radio waves. As the disturbance and interference of the radio wave can cause a direct inconvenience to a life, it is a very important issue. In this paper, as a means to prevent radio disturbance and interference, the projected image of the reference grid and the deformed grid is obtained by measuring the projected $moir{\acute{e}}$ using the white light source, projecting grid and the light source, and a $moir{\acute{e}}$ pattern is generated with an image processing algorithm by applying a phase diagram algorithm, and generated $moir{\acute{e}}$ pattern phase diagram creates a three-dimensional shape. By making an encrypted token using this measured face shape, the transmission of the information through token ring is determined in order to transmit the horizontal transmission having the dynamic security characteristics which includes authentication strength and caller information, etc. And by confirming the uniqueness of the token and by sending and receiving the horizontal transmission using java serialization and deserialization function, a problem solving method is suggested.

  • In non-geostationary orbit(NGSO) satellite communication links, satellite's elevation angle at terminal is changed continuously because of the satellite movement relative to earth surface. Therefore the characteristics of the fade-effected signal received by a terminal from a NGSO satellite is also varied continuously even if the terminal is operated at fixed location. In this paper, we determine a general statistic model for the fading characteristics over NGSO satellite communication links and set up the parameters of the fading model in terms of the elevation angle according to various propagation environment and find the parameter values using the data of fading margin for commercial NGSO mobile satellite communication systems. And the fading charateristics for each environment are analyzed using this model. These results can be applied to develop the compensation algorithm and to analyze the performance of the transmission schemes for NGSO mobile satellite communication systems.

  • As wireless communication technology advances to ensure high accuracy and safety at high speeds, research and development of Visible Light Communication (VLC) technology has been accelerated as an alternative to traditional radio frequency (RF) technology. As the radio spectrum of RF communication becomes more congested and demand for bandwidth continues to increase, VLCs that can use unlicensed frequency band are proposed as a solution. However, VLC channels have broadcasting characteristics that make them easily exposed to eavesdropping and jamming attacks, and are vulnerable to MITM (Man-In-The-Middle) due to their line of sight (LOS) propagation characteristics. These attacks on VLC channels compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of communications links and data, resulting in higher data retransmission rates, reducing throughput and increasing power consumption, resulting in lower data transmission efficiency. In this work, we model vulnerable VLC channels to analyze the impact of attacks and communications vulnerabilities by malicious jammers.
