Optical subcarrier-multiplexed (OSCM) labels in optical label switching networks have been detected using interleavers composed of fiber-optic Mach-Zehnder interferometer. 10-GHz optical single-/double-sideband signals generated from dual-electrode Mach-Zehnder intensity modulator have been used as the OSCM labels. In the case of single-sideband signals, the upper-sideband was observed to be suppressed about 16.8 dB compared with the lower-sideband from the optical spectrum measured at the label extraction output. For the case of double-sideband signals, both sidebands appeared with small insertion loss at the interleaver output. Since we used the phase-shift method to generate single-sideband signals, the power level of the single-sideband was higher by 3 dB than that of the double-sidebands.

This paper proposes an improved discrete Fourier transform spread single sideband(DFT-s-SSB) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) system that solves the problems of conventional DFT-s-SSB OFDM systems. Conventional DFT-s-SSB systems use pulse amplitude modulation(PAM) for applying SSB modulation. The higher the modulation level, the worse is the BER performance. Further, transmission is possible only through the lower sideband(LSB) spectrum. When transmitting using the LSB and upper sideband(USB) spectra simultaneously, interference occurs and spectrum recovery is not performed correctly. To solve this problem, the proposed system applies the 2/3 convolution coding to improve the bit error rate(BER) performance, adjusts the DFT size, and selects the USB spectrum to utilize the remaining spectrum resources. In addition, when using this system in an environment that supports multiuser or limited bandwidth, it uses only half of the spectrum; therefore, it can utilize the remaining spectrum resources and improve the spectral efficiency.

In this paper, we have proposed sideband injection locking method, heterodyne technique, to generate millimeter-wave signal. Microwave signals in cellular broadband mobile communication networks and distributed networks can favorably be generated and distributed by optical techniques. In principle, these techniques have already been investigated for optical control of phase-array antennas, characterization of photo-detector and phase locking of millimeter-wave oscillators and now being applied to wireless communications. The generation and transmission of millimeter-wave radio signals by optical means is of interest for future pico-cell broadband mobile communication system, especially for systems operating at frequencies of tens of GHz applicable to LMDS. We experimented and analysed the generation of millimeter wave signal.

In this paper, we present design method of wideband single-sideband mixer(SSM) with excellent sideband suppression and carrier suppression. We proposed SSM with 4-band split structure for uniform output flatness. From circuit simulation of this structure using Microwave OfficeTM, we got satisfactory results. We realized a SSM based on this results, then we experimented. The measured results show excellent agreements with the simulated results. We compared with two SSM's(target SSM(M Co. SM0218LC1CDC SSM) and our SSM) as well. The presented SSM is 3.35 times bigger, but sideband suppression is 3 dBc better and carrier suppression is 8 dBc better than those of comparative SSM, respectively.

Photomixing techniques beating two optical signals with different wavelengths and strong correlations are also very useful techniques to make a continuous wave(CW) signals in the range of millimeter(mm) and terahertz(THz) frequencies. An optical double sideband-suppressed carrier(DSB-SC) technique is one of the popular techniques to generate two optical signals with different wavelengths and strong correlations. DSB-SC signals with strong correlations are generated by a CW modulation of an optical carrier with a local oscillator and an optical modulator. In the previous parers related the DSB-SC for producing the CW signals within the range of mm and THz frequencies, there have been no reports why the optical carrier should suppress. In order to clear that, we have analyzed and measured the characteristics of the mm-wave CW signals made by the DSB-SC photomixing in this paper. From our analysis and measurement results, compared with the case of the DSB with the maximized optical carrier, the power and phase noise have improved about 23.9 dB and 21 dBc/Hz(@ 1 MHz offset frequency) in the case of the DSB with the minimized optical carrier (that is to say, the DSB-SC). Consequently, it is evident reason that the optical carrier should sufficiently suppress to obtain the mm-wave CW signals with the high power and low noise. This paper has given very helpful data to make mm- and THz-wave CW signals using photomixing techniques with the DSB-SC because the reason why the optical carrier should be suppressed is reported in this paper based on the numerical and experimental results.

ATSC 지상파 DTV 방송은 8-VSB(Vestigial Sideband Modulation) 기반 단일 반송파 전송방식을 사용하기 때문에, 다중 경로에 의한 간섭에 취약한 단점이 있다. 다중경로에 의한 간섭은 DTV 수신기의 수신 성능을 열화시키기 때문에, 이러한 간섭을 효율적으로 등화하거나 또는 최소화되도록 방송망을 설계하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 ATSC 지상파 DTV 방송 시스템에서 다중경로에 의한 간섭을 효율적으로 측정하는 방법을 제안하고, 모의실험을 통해 제안된 방법의 성능을 검증하고자 한다.

The hologram of an object contains the information of the object's depth distribution as well as the depth location of the object. However these pieces of information are blended together as a form of fringe pattern. This makes it hard to extract the depth location of the object directly from the hologram. In this paper, I propose a numerical method which separates the depth location information from the single-sideband hologram by gaussian low-pass filtering. The depth location of the object is extracted by numerical analysis of the filtered hologram. The hologram at the object's depth location is recovered by the extracted depth location.

In this paper, proposed is the dual-mode algorithm of blind decision feedback equalizer (DFE) for digital terrestrial television signals. According to channel impairments, the proposed dual-mode algorithm for blind DFE operates in decision-directed mode or in blind mode of operation. The error signals being used in tap update of the equalizer are generated in the best mode of operations, so that the confidence of equalizer tap coefficient update is more accurate. As a result, it is possible to track the channel characteristics variations by automatic switching over between two modes of operations. For 8-level vestigial sideband modulated digital television signals, the mean square errors and symbol error rates of the proposed algorithm are compared with those of conventional methods. And the usability of the proposed scheme is assessed by computer simulations under various static and dynamic multipath channel environments.
