본 논문에서는 에너지 기반 영역 선택과 TDOA에 의해 3차원에서 음원의 방위와 높이를 계산하여 음원 위치를 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 연구의 목적은 음원 위치 추정에서 계산시간 감축으로, 수평면 3개 신호의 에너지 비교에 의한 영역 선택과 선택된 영역의 TDOA에 의해 방위각을 계산하고, 또 높이 계산을 위한 마이크로폰 신호와 가장 큰 에너지를 갖는 평면 신호와의 TDOA로 높이각을 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법에 대한 음원 추정실험 결과 수평 방위각 추정에서 평균 $0.778^{\circ}$, 높이각 추정에서 $1.296^{\circ}$의 오류를 보여 기존의 방법과 정확도에서 유사하고, 추정은 1회 신호 에너지 비교와 2회의 TDOA계산으로 가능하여 처리 시간이 단축된다.

We consider transmission beamforming techniques for frequency-division-duplex (FDD) wireless communication systems using adaptive arrays to improve the signal quality of the array transmission link. We develop a simple effective transmission beamforming technique based on an approximated frequency tranlsation (AFT) to derive the tranmsiion beamforming weights from the uplink channel vector. This technique exploits the invariance of the short-time averaged fast fading statistics to small frequency translations. A simple approximate relationship that relates the transmission channel vector to the reception channel vector is derived. We have developed its practical alternative in which the frequency translation of the channel vector is performed at the principal angle of arrival (AOA) of the u;link synthestic angular spectrum instead of the mean AOA. To analyze the performance of the proposed methods, we consider the power loss incurred by applying the estimated channel vector instead of the true downlink channel vector. The performance is analyzed as a function of the mean AOA, the angular spread, the number of elements, frequncy difference between the uplink and the downlink, and the angle distribution. Their performance is also compared with that of the direct weight reuse method and the AOA based methods.

In this paper, stochastic models for the cross-correlation of multiple channels are established based on measurement data collected using a wideband multiple-input multiple-output relay Band Exploration and Channel Sounder system at 3.7 GHz. We propose models for the cross-correlation characteristics of large-scale parameters (LSPs) between two links, that is, the base station and mobile station (MS) link and the relay station and MS link. The LSPs include shadow fading, Rician K-factor, delay spread, angle spread of arrival, and angle spread of departure. Furthermore, models are established for the cross-correlation of the small-scale fading in the impulse responses of two links. The statistics of these model parameters are investigated as functions of geometrical features of the multilink. They are extracted from a large amount of cross-correlation observations, which are obtained in three measurement sites along more than one hundred measurement routes. These models can be used together with the standard single-link channel models for the generation of correlated components, for example, path clusters, in two separate channels.

An algorithm is presented for estimating the 3-D location (i.e., azimuth angle, elevation angle, and range) of multiple sources with a uniform circular array (UCA) consisting of an even number of sensors. Recently the rank reduction (RARE) algorithm for partly-calibrated sensor arrays was developed. This algorithm is applicable to sensor arrays consisting of several identically oriented and calibrated linear subarrays. Assuming that a UCA consists of M sensors, it can be divided into M/2 identical linear subarrays composed of two facing sensors. Based on the structure of the subarrays, the steering vectors are decomposed into two parts: range-independent 2-D direction-of-arrival (DOA) parameters, and range-relevant 3-D location parameters. Using this property we can estimate range-independent 2-D DOAs by using the RARE algorithm. Once the 2-D DOAs are available, range estimation can be obtained for each source by defining the 1-D MUSIC spectrum. Despite its low computational complexity, the proposed algorithm can provide an estimation performance almost comparable to that of the 3-D MUSIC benchmark estimator.

기존의 위치 추정 기법인 AOA, TOA, TDOA는 실내 위치 추정 시 Wi-Fi와 Beacon을 이용한 기법보다 실내 사용자의 위치를 추정하기 부적합한 문제를 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 실내 위치 추정에 AOA 기법이 부적합한 문제를 해결하기 위해 하나의 AP에 4개의 방향성 안테나가 부착된 단일 AP를 기반으로 AOA 기법을 이용한 위치 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 4개의 안테나에 수신된 각도만을 이용하여 각각의 신호에 대한 직선 방정식을 도출하고, 직선 방정식들 간의 교차점을 구함으로써 사용자의 위치를 추정한다.

신호원으로부터 발생하는 전파를 이격된 다중센서에서 수신하여 신호원의 위치를 추정하는 시스템에서는 신호원의 위치와 센서들의 위치에 따라 위치추정 정확도가 저하되는 현상이 나타난다. 이러한 현상을 GDOP 효과라 하며, 이러한 효과를 최소화하여 위치탐지정확도 성능을 향상시키기 위한 방법에 대해 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이격 배치된 센서들의 방위(AOA; Angle of Arrival) 정보를 이용하여 GDOP 효과의 발생 가능성을 추정하고, 위치 추정에서 오차 요인이 되는 센서를 제거하여 GDOP 효과로 인한 성능 저하를 최소화하는 방법에 관한 연구 결과를 서술하겠다.

The object of this work is to analyze the macroscopic spray performance and atomization characteristics between diesel and biodiesel fuels. In this study, the effects of mixture ratios of biodiesel fuel on the spray tip penetration, fuel injection rate, spray cone angle, and the atomization characteristics such as droplet size, droplets distribution, and spray arrival time according to the axial distance were investigated at various injection parameters. It is revealed that the injection rate is more affected by injection pressure than mixture ratio. And, the spray development process is closely matched between diesel and biodiesel fuels. However, the droplet atomization characteristics of biodiesel shows deteriorated results as the mixture ratio of biodiesel increased because of the high viscosity and density.

In the next generation wireless communication system, the beamforming technique based on a massive antenna is one of core technologies for transmitting and receiving huge amounts of data, efficiently and accurately. For highly performed and highly reliable beamforming, it is required to accurately estimate the Angle of Arrival (AOA) for the desired signal incident to an antenna. Employing the massive antenna with a large number of elements, although the accuracy of the AOA estimation is enhanced, its computational complexity is dramatically increased so much that real-time communication is difficult. In order to improve this problem, AOA estimation algorithms based on the massive antenna with the low computational complexity have been actively studied. In this paper, we compute and analyze the computational complexity of the cascade AOA estimation algorithm based on the Flexible Massive Concentric Circular Array (FMCCA). In addition, its computational complexity is compared to conventional AOA estimation techniques such as the Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm with the high resolution and the Only Beamspace MUSIC (OBM) algorithm.

It is difficult to perform automatic formation flight of UAV (Unmanned Aerial vehicle) when GPS (Global Positionig System) is out of order or has a system error, since the relative position estimation in the flight group is impossible in that case. In this paper, we design a relative localization system for the automatic formation flight of UAV. For this purpose, we adopt digital beam forming (DBF) to estimate the angle with the central controller of the flight group and Particle Filtering scheme to compensate the estimation error of ToA (time of arrival) method. Computer simulation results present a proper distance between the central controller and a following unit to maintain the automatic formation flight.
