In this paper, we present a demodulation structure suitable for a reader baseband receiver in a passive radio frequency identification (RFID) environment. In a passive RFID configuration, an undesirable DC-offset phenomenon may appear in the baseband of the reader receiver, which can severely degrade the performance of the extraction of valid information from the received tag signal. To eliminate this DC-offset phenomenon, the primary feature of the proposed demodulation structures for the received FM0 and Miller subcarrier signals is to reconstruct the signal corrupted by the DC-offset phenomenon by creating peak signals from the corrupted signal. It is shown that the proposed method can successfully detect valid data, even when the received baseband signal is distorted by the DC-offset phenomenon.

This study extends the modified linear feedback equalizer (MLFE), normally used for differentially coherent DPSK systems, to the equalization of double differentially coherent PSK (DDPSK) signals. By feeding back into the feedback part after modifying the equalizer output using decision feedback-based demodulation, the proposed equalizer can operate like an equalizer with a decision feedback structure. Simulation results showthat performances of the decision feedback demodulation-based feedback equalizer (DFD-FE) approach those of the DFE/coherent.

In this work, we used PWM sampling for demodulation of a fiber-optic interferometric current transformer. The interference signal from a fiber-optic CT is sampled with PWM triggers that produce a 90-degree phase difference between two consecutively sampled signals. The current-induced phase is extracted by applying an arctangent demodulation and a phase unwrapping algorithm to the sampled signals. From experiments using the proposed demodulation, we obtained phase measurement accuracy and a linearity error, in AC current measurements, of ~2.35 mrad and 0.18%, respectively. The accuracy of the proposed method was compared with that of a lock-in amplifier demodulation, which showed only 0.36% difference. To compare the birefringence effects of different fiber-optic sensor coils, a flint glass fiber and a standard single-mode fiber were used under the same conditions. The flint glass fiber coil with a Faraday rotator mirror showed the best performance. Because of the simple hardware structure and signal processing, the proposed demodulation would be suitable for low-cost over-current monitoring in high voltage power systems.

Usually vibration properties are obtained from frequency response functions or impulse response functions of a system. Since the contact type sensors can affect the characteristics of vibrating systems, the non-contact type sensors such as laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) are being widely used. Currently researches are being carried out in terms of modal analysis using a scanning vibrometer. For the continuous scan; the Chebyshev demodulation (or polynomial) is apparently suggested to extract the mode shapes. With single frequency sinusoidal excitation, this approach is well fitted. In this research, the Chebyshev demodulation technique has been applied to the impact excitation case. The vibration of the tested structure is modeled using impulse response functions. The technique is also adopted to the random excitation case. In order to verify the technique, a simply supported beam was chosen as the test rig. The calculation modules are developed by using MATLAB$\^$(R)/ in WindowsNT$\^$(R)/ environment.

We propose an nonlinear demodulation algorithm for undersampled multicomponent AM(Amplitude Modulation), FM(Frequency Modulation) and AM-FM signals. First, we derive respectively undersampling frequency of the AM, FM and AM-FM using undersampling scheme, and separate respectively monocomponent signals from multicomponent signals using periodic algebraic separation algorithm. In this case augmented separation matrix is very regular and sparse, it has a special structure. The proposed demodulation algorithm detects respectively message signals of the IA(Instantaneous Amplitude) and IF(Instantaneous Frequency) from descrete monocomponent AM, FM and AM-FM signals with an undersampling frequency to be controllable. Verifying the RMS(Root Mean Squares) errors of the detected signals, we show that the performance is excellent.

This paper presents a sampling based demodulation method of PJM signal and a hardware structure to implement the proposed demodulator. The proposed method, using matched filters in the discrete time domain, can make decisions on 4 different sampled signals caused by MFM encoding. We mathematically derive the BER of the proposed demodulation method and prove its validity through simulation results.

Higher directivity acoustic transducer using the self-demodulation effect was fabricated. The structure of transducer was designed such as dimension and support type of the piezoelectric element, the vibrating metal plate, and the housing case. Based on the design, the transducer was fabricated and measured its acoustic characteristics. Also, AM modulated driving circuit was designed for using the self-demodulation effect. The piezoelectric sounder with 200kHz resonant frequency and 20kHz bandwidth was designed by considering the sharp directivity and the sound pressure. The design and fabrication method worked in this study can be utilized in development of various speakers with higher directivity and broader bandwidth.

This paper describes theories and implementation techniques of a digital high-definition television(HDTV) modem based on 32-QAM for terrestrial broadcasting. We proposed a digital demodulation scheme and a symbol timing recovery structure based on the band edge component maximization(BECM) method. The adaptive equalizer has 256 complex taps to remove the multipath of delays ranging from -2.mu.s~+24.mu.s with a new T/2-spaced blind equalization algorithm. computer simulation results reveal that the proposed algorithm outperforms other conventional blind equalization algorithm a digital HDTV modem with 4.91MHz symobol rate is implemented by utilizing the proposed algorithms. All processings for modem operations such as demodulation, estimation of symbol timing phase error, adaptive equalization, and carrier recovery except IF signal processing and sampling phase control part of the AD converter are done in digital domain. Especially, the carrier recovery loop can track a carrier offset of upto .+-.350KHz.

The study on 'support for V2V(Vehicle to Vehicle) services based on LTE sidelink' has been carried out in 3GPP RAN working group. The conventional LTE sidelink technology is not adequate for high speed V2V communications because the conventional DM-RS(Demodulation Reference signal) structure is developed for pedestrian environment. While the typical speed of pedestrian environment is 3km/h, that of V2V communications is 120 km/h and the information on channel estimation is not sufficient with legacy DM-RS structure. In this paper, improved DM-RS structures for V2V communications that have rapid channel variation are introduced and the performance of channel estimation accuracy is analyzed. Simulation results show that the performance improvement of channel estimation can be achieved based on extended sub-carrier spacing structure resulted from reduced inter-carrier interference. However, the extended sub-carrier spacing requires the longer cyclic prefix and higher overhead. As a results of considerations on DM-RS modification, the sub-carrier spacing is maintained and the high density of DM-RS is applied for V2V communications.

This paper deals with an analysis of multipath which affect a transmission performance in underwater acoustic channel. Underwater acoustic channel with multipath structure is introduced to mathematical modelling for a basin environment. In this paper, SMR(Signal to Multipath Ratio) which is defined as a parameter of multipath's effect is presented as a mathematical equation, and the equation of SMR is simulated by MATLAB program. Furthermore, this paper is also dealt with an implementation of modulation and demodulation system for acoustic transmission. Acoustic Transmission is limited by frequency bandwidth, so $\pi/4 QPSK$(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) methods which is very useful at frequency ]imitation and FM(Frequency Modulation) are used at acoustic communication system. This implemented hybrid modulation/demodulation system is used as an analog board of image transmission system. In this system, adaptive equalization for reducing the multipath effect and baseline JPEG used for an image compressing are also stated.
