This paper describes a simple delay diversity technique for terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) and digital audio broadcasting in a single-frequency network (SFN). For the diversity technique, a delay diversity scheme is adopted. In the delay diversity scheme, a non-delayed signal is transmitted in the first antenna, and delayed versions of the signal are transmitted in each additional antenna. For an SFN environment with multiple transmitters, delay diversity can be executed by controlling the emission times of the transmitters. This SFN delay diversity scheme does not require any hardware changes in either the transmitter or receiver, and perfect backward compatibility can be acquired. To evaluate the performance improvement, laboratory tests are executed with various types of commercial T-DMB receivers as well as a measurement receiver. The improvement in the bit error rate performance is evaluated using a measurement receiver, and an improvement of the threshold of visibility value is evaluated for commercial receivers. Test results show that the T-DMB system can obtain diversity gain using the described technique.

As the fact that the simple data of text and sound in early year have been changed to be high quality images and sounds. PLL(Phase-Locked Loop) system plays an important role in communication system. VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) is the most important part in PLL system because it can have critical effects on operation of PLL. Recently, it has been raised the necessity of high speed and high accuracy circuit application. In this paper, a new differential voltage clamped VCO using negative-skewed path is suggested. Using a dual-delay scheme to implement the VCO, higher operation frequency and wider tuning are achieved simultaneously. The dual-delay scheme means that both the negative skewed delay paths and the normal delay paths exist in the same ring oscillator. The negative skewed delay paths decrease the unit delay time of the ring oscillator below the single inverter delay time. As a result, higher operation frequency can be obtained. The whole characteristics of VCO are simulated by using HSPICE. Simulation results show that the resulting operating frequencies are 50% higher than those obtainable from the conventional approaches.

SAW 가스센서의 기판으로 $112^{\circ}$ rot. x-cut $LiTaO_{3}$ 기판을 사용하였고, 사진식각법으로 reference delay line과 sensing delay line으로 구성된 dual delay line SAW소자를 제작하였다. 각각의 IDT는 전극의 폭이 $10{\mu}m$이고, 10 개의 전극쌍을 갖는다. 각각 두개의 delay line 중에서 reference delay line은 감지막을 증착시키지 않고, sensing delay line은 유기물 반도체의 일종인 Pb-프탈로시아닌을 shadow mask로써 $10^{-5}$torr의 진공하에서 선택적으로 증착시켰다. 제작된 SAW소자로 rf amp.와 AGC(Auto Gain Control)를 사용하여 dual delay line oscillator를 만들었다. 이때 발진주파수는 $87{\sim}$89 MHz였다. 온도와 $NO_{2}$ 가스농도의 변화에 따른 발진주파수의 변화를 조사하였다.

In an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system, conventional interpolation techniques cannot correctly balance performance and overhead when estimating dynamic long-delay channels in single frequency networks (SFNs). In this study, classical filter analysis and design methods are employed to derive a complex interpolator for maximizing the resistible echo delay in a channel estimator on the basis of the correlation between frequency domain interpolating and time domain windowing. The coefficient computation of the complex interpolator requires a key parameter, i.e., channel length, which is obtained in the frequency domain with a tentative estimation scheme having low implementation complexity. The proposed complex adaptive interpolator is verified in a simulated digital video broadcasting for terrestrial/handheld receiver. The simulation results indicate that the designed channel estimator can not only handle SFN echoes with more than $200{\mu}s$ delay but also achieve a bit-error rate performance close to the optimum minimum mean square error method, which significantly outperforms conventional channel estimation methods, while preserving a low implementation cost in a short-delay channel.

이 논문은 순환 지연 다이버시티 OFDM 시스템의 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 주파수 다이버시티를 적용하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. OFDM 시스템에서 주파수 다이버시티 적용은 동일한 심볼을 상관관계가 없는 부반송파로 반복 전송하는 것으로 수행되며, 반복 전송 회수에 비례하여 변조 레벨을 증가시켜서 종래의 전송 시스템의 성능과 비교한다. 이 방법은 순환 지연 다이버시티 알고리즘과 같이 송신기 개수가 많아짐에 따라 수신기에서 부가적인 특별한 하드웨어가 필요하지 않다는 동일한 장점이 있게 되며, 성능 시험을 위해서 다중 송수신 안테나 환경하에서 모의 실험을 수행하였다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 종래의 순환 지연 다이버시티를 활용한 OFDM 시스템과 비교하여 저밀도 변조 레벨에서 성능 향상이 현저함을 보여준다.

We investigate the performance of a true time delay(TTD) phase shifter to reduce the beam squint caused by frequency changes of a phased array antenna in wideband communication systems. To design a high gain phased array antenna, we need a long TTD, which causes high RF loss, low resolution and large dimension of TTD phase shifters. To overcome the problems, we propose a schematic of dual TTD phase shifters, which consists of short time delay(STD) in radio frequency(RF) part and long time delay(LTD) in intermediate frequency(IF) part. Our analysis results show that the proposed scheme reduces the required bits and delay time in RF band of the TTD compared to the conventional single TTD scheme.

Ionospheric time delay is the biggest error source for single-frequency DGPSapplications, including time transfer and Wide Area Differential GPS (WADGPS).Currently, there are many attempts to develop real-time ionospheric time delayestimation techniques to reduce positioning error due to the ionospheric time delay.Klobuchar model is now widely used for ionosphehc time delay calculation forsingle-frequency users. It uses flat surface at night time and cosine surface atdaytime[1], However, the model was developed for worldwide ionosphere fit, it isnot adequate for local area single-frequency users who want to estimateionospheric time delay accurate1y[2]. Therefore, 3-D ionosphere model usingtomographic estimation has been developed. 3-D tomographic inversion modelshows better accuracy compared with prior a1gorithms[3]. But that existing 3-Dmodel still has problem that it requires many coefficients and measurements forgood accuracy. So, that algorithm has Umitation with many coefficients incontinuous estimation at the small region which is obliged to have fewermeasurements.In this paper, we developed an modified 3-D ionosphehc time delay modelusing tomography, which requires only fewer coefficients. Because the combinationsof our base coefficients correspond to the full coefficients of the existing model, ourmodel has equivalent accuracy to the existing. We confirmed our algorithm bysimulations. The results proved that our modified algohthm can perform continuousestimation with fewer coefficients.

In this paper, we developed a single frequency-based RRAIM to monitor integrity of the UAM landing vertically in urban area with only low-cost single-frequency GPS receiver. Conventional dual-frequency RRAIM eliminates ionospheric delay through a combination of frequencies. In this study, ionospheric delay was directly modeled. Drift error of residual ionospheric delay is modeled using the previously studied result on ionospheric rates of change. To verify the performance of the proposed RRAIM algorithm, a simulation of vertical landing UAM in urban area was conducted. It was assumed that the protection level at the initial position was calculated through SBAS correction data. During vertical landing, integrity monitored by receiver alone without external correction data. In the 60 sec simulation, the protection level of the proposed RRAIM compared to the conventional RRAIM was calculated to be 140% due to the accumulated ionospheric delay error. Nevertheless, it was confirmed that the final vertical protection level meeting the requirements of LPV-200, which cannot be achieved with single frequency GPS receiver alone.
