In this paper, a serially concatenated space-time code (SCSTC) with bandwidth efficiency and high data rate is studied. The suggested SCSTC is composed of space-time code, the convolutional code and Interleaver. The SCSTC has a very high BER performance than the conventional space-time code. The BER performance of the suggested SCSTC can be proven by using computer simulation through the iterative decoding method. The first decoder uses Symbol-MAP algorithm and the second decoder uses Bit-MAP algorithm for decoding tile information bits. The simulation results show the performance of the suggested SCSTC is better than the conventional Space-Time Code.

Turbo codes of long block sizes have been known to show very good performance in an AWGN channel and the turbo code has been strongly recommended as error correction code for IMT-2000 in 3GPP(3$^{rd}$ Ceneration Partnership Project). Recently, turbo codes of short block sizes suitable for real time communication systems have attracted a lot of attention. Thus in this paper we consider the turbo code of 1/3 code rate and short frame size of 192 bits in ITU-R channel model. We analyzed the performance of W-CDMA systems of 10MHz bandwidths employing RAKE receiver with not only MRC diversity but also turbo code..

In this paper, we implement digital circuit of despreading delay lock loop for GPS receiver. The designed system consists of Epoch signal generator, two 13bit correlators which correlates the received C/A code and the locally generated C/A code in the receiver, the C/A code generator which generates C/A code of selected satellite, and the direct digital clock synthesizer which generates the clock of the C/A code generator to control the phase and clock rate, the clock controller, and the clock divider. The designed circuit has the function of the acquisition and tracking by the autocorrelation characteristics of Gold code. The controller generates each other control signals according to the correlation value. The designed circuit is simulated to verify the logic functional performance. By using the simulator STR-2770 that generates the virtual GPS signal, the deigned FPGA chip is verified the circuit performance.

It is very important to reduce the PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio) in the OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) communication system. The proposed method in this paper is an effective PAPR reduction method using the Golay complementary codes without my side information. There are some PAPR reduction methods with the complementary code pairs or sequences. They are usually a type of the forward ewer correction codes so that they produce more redundancies and lower down the code rate. Because of this, the information rate may be cut down or more bandwidth must be required. In this paper, we propose a PAPR reduction method that uses the multi-phase complementary code f3r converting the 4-QAM into 16-QAM constellation. It does not change the code rate and does not require the side information.

In this paper, we simulate and analyze performance of iterative coding scheme, double binary turbo code, for high speed power line communication (PLC) systems. PLC system has hostile environment for high speed data transmission, so error correction method is necessary to compensate effects of PLC channel. We employ the PLC model proposed by M. Zimmerman and Middleton Class A interference model, and system performance is evaluated in terms of bit error rate (BER). From the simulation results, we confirm double binary turbo code provides considerable coding gains to PLC system and BER performance is significantly improved as the number of iteration increase. It is also confirmed that BER performance increases as code rate is lager, while it decreases as the code rate is smaller.

This paper proposed a novel method for constructing quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) codes of medium to high code rates that can be applied in cloud data storage systems, requiring better error correction capabilities. The novelty of this method lies in the construction of sparse base matrices, using a girth greater than 4 that can then be expanded with a lift factor to produce high code rate QC-LDPC codes. Investigations revealed that the proposed large-sized QC-LDPC codes with high code rates displayed low encoding complexities and provided a low bit error rate (BER) of 10^-10 at 3.5 dB E_b/N₀ than conventional LDPC codes, which showed a BER of 10^-7 at 3 dB E_b/N₀. Subsequently, implementation of the proposed QC-LDPC code in a softwaredefined radio, using the NI USRP 2920 hardware platform, was conducted. As a result, a BER of 10^-6 at 4.2 dB E_b/N₀ was achieved. Then, the performance of the proposed codes based on their encoding-decoding speeds and storage overhead was investigated when applied to a cloud data storage (GCP). Our results revealed that the proposed codes required much less time for encoding and decoding (of data files having a 10 MB size) and produced less storage overhead than the conventional LDPC and Reed-Solomon codes.

This paper is about a bar code decoding algorithm developed for smart phone applications. The algorithm consists of bar code data extraction procedure, bar code signal estimation procedure, and bar code decoding procedure. To detect the peak bar code module, a DSTW had been applied because of its outstanding performance in ECG peak detection. In order to minimize errors due to non-uniform light effect, the proposed algorithm was acted as a baseline wandering filter based on module peaks detection. The algorithm had been tested to evaluate the performance under the conditions of blurring, non-uniformed light and white noises. The algorithm had shown excellent performance in reconstruction of bar code decoding, compared to other conventional methods. In order to show the possibility of applying the algorithm to a smart phone, a real UPC-A type 150 bar code pictures obtained from a smart phone camera was applied to the algorithm, achieving the correct recognition rate of 97.33%.

In this thesis, Multi-code/Multi-carrier CDMA(MC/MC CDMA) system which is combination of Multi-code CDMA and Multi-carrier CDMA is analyzed. This system is suitable fur multi-rate services that use multi-codes and high data rate transmission that employ multi-carriers. In addition, the MC/MC CDMA system is robust against frequency selective fading, is good for narrowband interference rejection, and has higher spectral efficiency. In this paper, The users are assigned OVSF codes as a spreading code according to their data rates and divides the active users having different representative code split into a number of groups for effective cancellation. At the receiver, The code grouping interference canceller performs cancellation between the groups. The proposed receiver does not require any information about interference users, such as code, data and amplitude, and has relatively low complexity. The results show the large improvement in performance that can be attained by cancellation scheme.

In this paper, we propose a new quasi-orthogonal space-time block code(QO-STBC) achieving full rate and full diversity for general QAM and quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels with four transmit antennas. This code possesses the quasi orthogonal property like the conventional minimum decoding complexity QO-STBC(MDC-QO-STBC), which allows independently a maximum likelihood(ML) decoding to only require joint detection of two real symbols. By computer simulation results, we show that the proposed code exhibits the identical BER performance with the existing MDC-QO-STBC. However, the proposed code has an advantage in the transceiver implementation since the original coding scheme may be modified so that increases of peak-to-average power ratio occur at only two transmit antennas, but the MDC-QO-STBC does at all of transmit antennas.

To find the concentration according to the depth-direction of ions implanted in the sample, with sputtering of the sample surface, one needs the depth profiling of ion implanted in the sample. On measuring of depth profiling, the sputtering rate to affect depth direction, is calculated by SRIM simulation. When ion is implanted in the sample, the atomic density of the sample rises up a little, and it alters sputtering yield. This alteration then causes differences of sputtering rate to affect depth-direction, on measuring of depth profiling. With the usage of SRIM Monte Carlo simulation code, one calculates sputtering rate, with sputtering yield by the alteration of atomic density of the sample through ion implantation. As a result, it goes to prove that its difference affects depth distribution, on measuring of depth profiling.
