This paper proposes the specific code synchronization technique for DS-SS(Direct Sequence-Spread Spectrum transmission in the DVB-RCS +M standard. DS-SS is better than multi-carrier transmission method under nonlinear channel but imposes a long acquisition time. To improve the synchronization aspect, the robust correlation structure is introduced for acquisition and the nonlinear delay lock loop is done for tracking. MAT(Mean Acquisition Time) performances is shown to validate its superiority. In addition, code tracking and jitter performances are done when code tracking algorithm based on 2 oversamples which is not influenced by sampling clock timing offset and carrier freq. offset is used.

This paper addresses a synchronization technique based on an adaptive combining of the sub-correlation functions obtained from multiband sine phased binary offset carrier (BOC) signals, allowing a BOC signal receiver to deal with multiband sine phased BOC signals. Specifically, we first obtain the sub-correlation functions composing the BOC autocorrelation function, and then, re-combine the sub-correlation functions generating a correlation function with no side-peak. Finally, by replacing the BOC autocorrelation with the correlation function with no side-peak in the delay lock loop, the proposed scheme performs unambiguous signal tracking. The proposed synchronization scheme is applicable to generic sine phased BOC signals. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed scheme provides a performance improvement over the conventional unambiguous schemes in terms of the tracking error standard deviation.

Motion synchronization between developed real and virtual robots for object recognition and target tracking is introduced. ASUS's XTION PRO Live is implemented as a sensor and configured to recognize walls and obstacles, and perceive objects. In order to create virtual reality, Unity 3D is adopted to be associated with the real robot, and the virtual object is controlled by using an input device. A Bluetooth serial communication module is used for wireless communication between the PC and the real robot. The motion information of a virtual object controlled by the user is sent to the robot. Then, the robot moves in the same way as the virtual object according to the motion information. Through motion synchronization, two scenarios, which map the real space and current object information with virtual objects and space, were demonstrated, yielding good agreement between the two spaces.

In this paper, we evaluated the mean acquisition time and it's variance of the rapid synchronization system using the DMF(Digital Matched Filter) under the DS/CDMA system which uses the long period PN code. And we implemented the synchronization system that satisfies the specification demanded by the proposed EIA/TIA Interim Standard of Qualcomm Company. We showed that the state of the PN spreading code was estimated using the DMF(Digital Matched Filter) and then exact and fast chip synchronization could be achieved by the early-late tracking loop in the multiple channel environment. And we suggested the possibility that this synchronization system could be useful in the emerging digital cellular DS/CDMA system.

Time synchronization is a prerequisite in wireless sensor network applications such as object tracking, consistent state update, duplication detection, and temporal order delivery. This paper analyze time synchronization accuracy of pair-wise time synchronization algorithm which is a typical time synchronization model of time synchronization method in wireless sensor networks. In addition, the analyzed results are verified by simulations. These results can be utilized for performance improvement or development of time synchronization in wireless sensor networks.

In the launch mission, mission control systems and tracking systems need time synchronization for data monitoring and data analysis. There are several standards for time synchronization and an adequate standard is selected according to the requirement of time accuracy and cost among time synchronization standards. Oscillators are used to maintain time accuracy. There are some kinds of oscillators with diverse characteristics and an adequate oscillator can be adopted according to time accuracy. In this paper, we will specify characteristics of several oscillators and standards generally used for time synchronization. And we will also introduce TSDN(time synchronization and display network) for time synchronization in Naro Space Center.

The delay-lock loop (DLL) is a statistically optimum device for tracking the de]ay difference between two correlated waveforms. In this paper an extended n - $\Delta$ (n=1,2,3‥‥) DLL is described, and its baseband performance including the frequency to lose lock is analyzed. The present DLL system employs a correlator and a pseudonoise sequence synthesizer that has been improved from the previously used ones The shape of the correlator characterigtic has the form of expanded S-curve. Despite of increase noise, this extended DLL has desirable characteristics in tracking range and initial synchronization time. Comparing a 3 - $\Delta$ DLL with a 1 - A DLL, the former Bives three times faster initial synchronization time with the serial synchronization method, and gives two times immunity against doppler shift.

In recent years, a lot of industrial equipments have serial communication channel such as FieldBus (CAN, Profibus, etc.) or Ethernet that provides real time communication between industrial equipments. Theses applications include gantry crane, robot, chip mounter, etc.. In this paper, we discuss the synchronization technique for networked multi-motor systems where controllers (commercial servo amps) are distributed and interconnected by CAN (Controller Area Networks). We first describe the equivalent model for the individual servo-amp and motor using the frequency response. We design the $H{\infty}$ controller for motion synchronization. Finally, the synchronization technique using the equivalent model and the $H{\infty}$ controller is verified by the simulation and the experiment.

This contribution focuses on the maximum likelihood (ML) noncoherent synchronization of multi-antenna transceivers working in faded environments and employing ultra-wideband impulse radio (UWB-IR) transmit technology. In particular, the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) is derived for the general case of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) UWB-IR systems and used to compare the ultimate performance of three basic transmit schemes, thereinafter referred to as single input multiple output (SIMO), MIMO equal signaling (MIMO-ES), and MIMO orthogonal signaling (MIMO-OS) ones. Thus, the noncoherent ML synchronizer is developed for the better performing transmit scheme (i.e., the SIMO one) and its performance is evaluated under both signal acquisition and tracking operating conditions. The performance gain in the synchronization of UWB- IR signals arising by the utilization of the multi-antenna technology is also evaluated.

To implement a high-precision lightning tracking system utilizing TDOA measurements, high-speed data acquisition and precise timing synchronization between ground sensors should be achieved. At the same time, considering the size of digitizer's memory, the data memory needs to be managed so that only the sampled data around the occurrence of stepped leader pulse is stored. This paper presents a detection-and-acquisition system for lightning signals that is the main equipment of ground sensor in lightning tracking system. GPS clock module is used to get precise timing synchronization and the 500MHz high speed digitizer is employed. In order to detect the leading edge of the lightning pulse and save the sampled data and its timing, lightning detection module is implemented and multi-record method is employed in the proposed system. Field experiment results show that the proposed system can detect and save the lightning signal efficiently.
