In this letter, we analyze an ultra-wideband ranging system based on non-linear chirp waveforms with the ability of narrowband interference suppression. A number of non-linear chirp waveforms are proposed and evaluated by simulation. The results verify that the proposed schemes can suppress the Narrowband interference to a certain degree.

In this thesis, a Synthetic Aperture Rarar Processor that is possible real-time handling is implemented using CW(Continuose Wave) laser as a light source, CCD(charge Coupled Device) as a time integrator, and AOD(Acousto-Optic Device) as the space integrator. One of the advantages of the proposed system is that it does not require driving circuits of the light source. To implement the system, the linear frequency modulation(chirp) technique has been used for radar signal. The received data for the unit target was processed using 7.80 board and accompanying electronic circuits. In order to reduce the smear effect of the focused chirp signal which occurs Bragg diffrection angle of the AOD has been utilized to make sharp pulses of the laser source, and the pulse made synchronized with the chirp signal. Experiment and analysis results of the data and images detected from CCD of the proposed SAR system demonstrated that detection effect is degrated as the unit target distance increases, and the resolving power is improved as the bandwidth of the chirp signal increases. Also, as the pulse width of the light source decreases, the smear effect has been reduced. The experimental results assured that the proposed system in this papre can be used as a real time SAR processor.

This paper presents an underwater acoustic communication with nonlinear chirp modulation. The information is carried by the carrier amplitude, frequency or phase in the most common underwater acoustic communications. However, the proposed method includes the information within frequency variation of carrier wave for a symbol. Especially, as carrier wave the hyperbolic frequency modulated signal, one of the nonlinear chirp signal, is used and it is robust in the Doppler channel. The proposed method was analyzed and compared to conventional method by simulation. When the doppler shift existed, the error probability of the proposed method is reduced by 5~12 % than conventional method with linear frequency modulated signal. Sea trial was performed to analyze the performance of the proposed method.

Adaptive filtering method is one of signal processing area which is frequently used in the case of statistical characteristic change in time-varing situation. The performance of adaptive filter is usually evaluated with complexity of its structure, convergence speed and misadjustment. The structure of adaptive filter must be simple and its speed of adaptation must be fast for real-time implementation. In this paper, we propose chirp discrete cosine transform (CDCT), which has the characteristics of CZT (chrip z-transform) and DCT (discrete cosine transform), and then CDCTLMS (chirp discrete cosine transform LMS) using the above mentioned algorithm for the improvement of its speed of adaptation. Using loaming curve, we prove that the proposed method is superior to the conventional US (normalized LMS) algorithm and DCTLMS (discrete cosine transform LMS) algorithm. Also, we show the real application for the ultrasonic signal processing.

The representative communication method which is applied in the low-speed power line communication modem with 60bps is single carrier method. It has been used mainly for the control. The single carrier method is very sensitive to a power line communication channel environment. Specially, the severe attenuation of the transmission signal according to the notch characteristics of channel becomes the main cause of communication error. Domestic power line channel environment has this notable feature. In this paper, we implemented the low-speed power line communication system which used the chirp signal method to be strong in notch and noise characteristics. In this research, we proposed the method which transmits 1- '1 Unit symbol Chirp signal' with a 100${\mu}s$ time within 1ms for 1 bit. Also it applied for the Convolution code for an error correction and the Manchester code for a collision perception and an error detection. It used the method which uses the bit correlator for signal detection in the receiver parts. We confirmed that the communication method of the chirp method has a excellent performance compared to single carrier methods with a result of experiment of the low-speed power line communication system with the 60bps.

We generate short optical pulses of ∼ 6 picoseconds at 10 GHz by chirped pulse compression based on phase modulation and chirp compensation. In the suggested method, sinusoidally driven intensity and phase modulators generate chirped pulses which are subsequently suppressed by chirp compensation using a single mode fiber.

In this paper, we investigated the degree of compensation for distorted optical pulse of wavelength division multiplexed(WDM) channel with initial frequency chirp generated in optical transmitter. The WDM channel signal distortion is due to chromatic dispersion, self phase modulation(SPM) and cross phase modulation(XPM) in fiber. The considered system is 3 ${\times}$ 40 Gbps intensity modulation direct detection(IM/DD) WDM transmission systems, which adopted mid-span spectral inversion(MSSI) as compensation method. We confirmed that the effect of initial frequency chirp on compensation for signal distortion due to a SPM is gradually decreased as a dispersion coefficient of fiber becomes gradually small. But, in the aspect of a compensation for signal distortion due to both SPM and XPM, the effect of initial frequency chirp on compensation is gradually decreased as a dispersion coefficient of fiber becomes gradually large.

A signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) enhancement algorithm using multiple chirp symbols with clock drift is proposed for accurate ranging. Improvement of the ranging performance can be achieved by using the multiple chirp symbols according to Cramer-Rao lower bound; however, distortion caused by clock drift is inevitable practically. The distortion induced by the clock drift is approximated as a linear phase term, caused by carrier frequency offset, sampling time offset, and symbol time offset. SNR of the averaged chirp symbol obtained from the proposed algorithm based on the phase derotation and the symbol averaging is enhanced. Hence, the ranging performance is improved. The mathematical analysis of the SNR enhancement agrees with the simulations.

In order to guarantee the multiuser transmission performance of a chirp spread spectrum system, the cross-correlation coefficient (CCC) among multiple users should be carefully considered. In this paper, we propose a chirp rate allocation scheme for reducing the multiple access interference based on the cross-correlation coefficient. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can improve the multiple access interference performance.

In this paper, we propose a new decoding method for differentially biorthogonal chirp spread spectrum (DBO-CSS). In DBO-CSS, the information is carried on the differential phase not between the adjacent sub-chirp symbols but between the sub-chirp symbols in the same position of adjacent full-chirp symbol. So, the conventional multiple symbol differential detection (MSDD) algorithms to enhance the BER performance can not be applied to the DBO-CSS directly. In this paper, we propose a new differential detection algorithm based on a partial MSD(multiple symbol detection) and a viterbi algorithm. It is shown that the performance gain of the proposed algorithm when compared with that of the conventional detection algorithm is around 2.5dB at BER = 10-5.
