  • This paper was studied in two ways with respect to the information received from the video signal separation technique of PPI Scop radar device. The proposed technique consists in generating an image signal through the video signal separation and synthesis, symbol generation, the residual image signal generation process. This technology can greatly improve the operating convenience with improved ease of discrimination, screen readability for the operator in analyzing radar information. The first proposed method was constructed for high-speed FPGA-based information processing systems for high speed operation stability of the system. The second proposed method was implemented intelligent algorithms and a software algorithm function curve associated resources.This was required to meet the constraints on the radar information, analysis system.

  • Recently, many papers have been proposed in order to improve the OFDM system performance in T-DMB DOCR (Digital On Channel Repeater), by using removing the feedback signal so that the transmitter power can be increased or by using the equalizer to remove ICI. Despite these efforts, however, signal quality at the receiving terminal has not been improved because of constellation smearing in T-DMB DOCR. In this paper, in order to suppress constellation smearing, we propose an effective equalizer algorithm that can improve system performance. We perform adaptive channel estimation and non-coherent decision directed noise cancellation method that can estimate the channel subsequently during data symbols period in the frequency domain. So we can obtain better quality of the signal at the receiving terminal. In order to secure QoS(Quality of Service) required in T-DMB handsets, we evaluate SNR and BER in T-DMB DOCR(Digital On Channel Repeater) and verified by simulation. In this simulation results, this system is satisfied the performance of BER=$10^{-5}$ at less than SNR=14 dB at the receiver after compensation of phase noise -18 dBc.

  • A 30GHz band low noise amplifier module, which has linear gain of 30dB and noise figure of 2.6dB, for 30GHz satellite communication transponder was developed by use of MMIC and thin film MIC technologies. Two kinds of MMIC circuits were used for the low noise amplifier module, the first one is ultra low noise MMIC circuit and the other is wideband and high gain MMIC circuit. The pHEMT technology with 0.15$mu extrm{m}$ of gate length was applied for MMIC fabrication. Thin film microstrip lines on alumina substrate were used to interconnect two MMIC chips, and the thick film bias circuit board were developed to provide the stabilized DC bias. The input interface of the low noise amplifier module was designed with waveguide type to receive the signal from antenna directly, and the output port was adopted with K-type coaxial connector for interface with the frequency converter module behind the low noise amplifier module. Space qualified manufacturing processes were applied to manufacture and assemble the low noise amplifier module, and space qualification level of environment tests including thermal and vibration test were performed for it. The developed low noise amplifier was measured to show 30dB of minimum gain, $\pm$0.3dB of gain flatness, and 2.6dB of maximum noise figure over the desired operating frequency range from 30 to 31 GHz.

  • In this paper, the Low Noise Amplifier(LNA) is designed and fabricated to include a band pass filter characteristics considering the antenna system characteristics according to the transmitting and receiving signal level of communication satellite transponder. As an example, a 2-stage low noise amplifier and a 4-stage amplifier and designed, fabricated and measured at 14,0~14.5GHz of receiving frequency band. This fabricated LNA has shown the gain with very good flatness within pass-band, and its gain decreases rapidly out of band resulting in supperssion of the transmitting signal power leakage. It has shown the 20.3dB +- 0.1dB of pass-band gain, the 1.44dB +-0.04dB of noise figure and the 14dB rejection out of band(12.25~12.75GHz). The gain flatness, noise figure and group delay of this 2-stage LNA satisfactorily met the simulation results. And the fabricated 4-stage amplifier has shown the more than 42dB of pass-band gain, the +-0.25dB of flatness and the 28dB of the rejection effect for transmitting power leakage. The 2-stage LNA and 4-stage amplifier, in this paper, will bring a design margin for the input filter and also result in the system cost reduction.

  • The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) like US Global Positioning System (GPS) and EU Galileo are based on providing precise time and frequency synchronized ranging signals. Because of the exploitation of very precise timing signals these GNSS are used to provide both navigation and time distribution services. Moreover, because the positioning accuracy will improve as more satellites become available, we should expect that a combination of Galileo and GPS will provide better performance than those of both systems separately. However, Galileo will not use the same time reference as GPS and thus, a time difference arises - the GPS-Galileo Time Offset (GGTO). The navigation solution calculated by receivers using signals from both navigation systems will consequently contain a supplementary error if the GGTO is not accounted for. In this paper, we compared GPS Time (GPST) with Galileo Sytem Time (GST) and analyzed the effects of GGTO on positioning accuracy by simulation test. And then we also analyzed the characteristics of two representative GGTO correction methods such as the navigation message based method at system level and the estimation method at user level and propose the conceptual design of the novel correction method being capable of preventing previous method's problems.

  • This paper presents the effects of RF performance parameters on the Galileo receiver design via simulation after reviewing the requirements of the Galileo receiver structure. At first, we considered the general requirements, structure and characteristics of the Galileo system. Then we designed the Galileo receiver focused on performance requirement of 16 dB C/N which is equal to 15 % Error Vector Magnitude(EVM) by using Advanced Design System(ADS) simulation program. In order to verify the function of Automatic Gain Control(AGC)), we measured the IF output power level by changing the input power level at the front - end of the receiver. We analyzed the performance degradation due to phase noise variations of Local Oscillator(LO) in the Galileo receiver through EVM when the minimum sensitivity level of -127 dBm is applied at the receiver. We also analyzed the performance degradation according to variable Analog-to-Digital Converter(ADC) bits within the Dynamic range, -92 ~ -139 dBm, which has been defined by gain range (-2.5 ~ +42.5 dB) in the AGC operation. The results clearly show that the performance of the Galileo receiver can be improved by increasing ADC bits and reducing Phase Noise of LO.

  • Recently, the management system of wastewater treatment facility has magnified due to the stringent regulations for the protection of the environment, and a sewage treatment plant efficiency and research of the car development are activated in large facilities or industrial park. however, the existing sewerage disposal system and specific water quality monitoring network reliability for real-time transmission of this building is insufficient. In this paper, we proposed a local wireless network design for sludge multi meter data collection and control for measuring the concentration of the sludge efficiently. Also, the collected data over the local wireless network to transmitted to the central monitoring system and accumulate the data in real time to calculate statistics is possible to monitor the status of the sewage treatment facilities. The proposed system uses a short-range wireless networks of IEEE 802.15.4 and configures an IEEE 802.11 network which can monitor real-time status in central system. Also, we install a sludge multimeter and communication network in sewage treatment facilities and confirm the usefulness of the proposed technique by demonstrating its effectiveness.

  • This paper provides a design of high-throughput parallel turbo decoder that is able to decode several packets of various length simultaneously. For high-speed communications, designing of Turbo decoder as parallel structures reduces the long decoding time caused by iterative turbo decode way. Also, by employing the double buffer structure for input and output packets improves the decoder throughput by enabling continuous decoding. Because parallel turbo decoder is designed to be able to decode the packet of the longest length, there exist idle PE's(Processing Element) in the case of decoding packets of short length. The main idea of this paper is to increase the utilization of PE's in parallel Turbo decoder and to improve the decoder throughput by using the idle PE's immediately for the subsequent packets decoding. For this, the control is necessary to enable the concurrent decoding of several short packets and we propose the method of this control. Applying the proposed method, we implemented Turbo Decoder with 32 PE's that can decode packets of 6144 bits maximum. Compared to the conventional Turbo decoder, although the area was increased about 16%, the decoder throughput was improved 28 times for short packets.

  • In a bursty user traffic mode, ALOHA random multiple access protocol achieves higher performance than any conventional fixed assignment technique. One of central problems in slotted ALOHA is synchronization. Because of the long propagation delay in satellite mobile communication, packet may be spilt over into adjacent slots and thus guard time may be included between packet intervals. In conventional ALOHA channels, simultaneous transmission by two or more users results in a collision : the unsuccessful packets have to be retransmitted according to some retransmission algorithm. However, in a radio environment, users are often at different distances from the receiver : therefore, their received signals have substantially different power levels. The packet arriving with the highest energy now has a good chance of being detected accurately. Similarly, in some spread-spectrum random access systems, the earliest arriving packet dominates later arriving packets and thus captures the channel. In this paper slotted ALOHA channel with non zero guard time and capture probability is studied. Using the Markovian model, the performance of slotted ALOHA with guard time and capture effects is derived and compared with that of the conventional ALOHA via numerical analysis.

  • By increased moving speed of aircraft, estimating location of itself becomes more important than ever. This requirement is satisfied by appearance of GPS, however it is useless when signal reception from satellite is not good enough by interruption, for example, traffic jamming. Applying link for communication to additional positioning system is capable of providing relative position of aircraft. Estimating location with link for communication is done without additional equipment but with signal processing based on correlation of received signal. ESPRIT is one of the representative algorithm among them. Estimating correlation matrix is possible to have error since it includes average operation needs enough number of samples not impractical. Therefore we propose algorithm that defines, estimates and removes error matrix of correlation. Proposing algorithm shows better performance than previous one when transmitters are close.
