동일채널 중계기(OCR:On channel repeater)는 동일한 주파수를 갖는 입출력 신호를 사용하기 때문에 주파수 재이용 효율이 높다. 반면에 입출력 신호의 주파수가 같기 때문에 발진 가능성도 높다. 중계기에서 신호의 궤환은 입출력 안테나 사이의 결합(Coupling)등에 의해서 발생되며, 중계기가 발진하는 것을 억제하기 위해서는 중계기의 이득 보다 입출력 안테나 사이의 격리도를 크게 유지해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 비재생 동일채널 중계기(Non-regeneration OCR)에서 궤환신호의 크기, 위상 및 시간지연이 비재생 동일채 널 중계 기의 특성에 미치는 영향을 시뮬레이션하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 중계기의 이득과 격리도가 같은 경우 발진 확률이 가장 크며, 궤환신호의 위상을 조절함으로써 협대 신호를 처리하는 비재생 중계기의 경우 발진가능성을 줄일 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 시간지연이 증가함에 따라서 특정 주파수 대역에서 중계기의 이득의 변화와 발진 가능성이 증가하였다. 또한 논문에서는 궤환신호의 크기와 위상이 비재생 및 재생(Generation) 중계기에 미치는 영향을 시험하였는데, 시험 결과 8-VSB 신호가 잡음 신호보다 $17{\sim}18dB$ 이상 큰 경우 8-VSB 신호를 수신할 수 있었다. 비 재생 중계기의 경우 궤환신호의 위상이 중계기의 특성에 영향을 주었으며, 격리도가 중계기의 이득보다 $11.75{\sim}13.75dB$ 정도 큰 경우에는 궤환신호의 위상에 따라서 8-VSB 신호의 수신 가능 여부가 결정되었고, 이 경우 궤환신호의 위상이 $48^{\circ}$ 또는 $347^{\circ}$일때 8-VSB 신호를 수신하지 못하였다. 재생 중계기의 경우 궤환신호의 위상이 8-VSB신호의 S/N에 미치는 영향이 나타나지 않았으나, 궤환되는 신호의 크기는 중계기의 특성에 영향을 주었다. 재생 중계기의 경우에는 원하는 수신신호 보다 $12.6{\sim}13.6dB$정도 큰 궤환신호가 입력되는 경우 8-VSB 신호를 수신하지 못하였으며, 그 이유는 궤환신호에 의해서 중계기의 초단부가 포화되기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

Objective : The main aim of the present study is to examine the electrode configurations used to record the muscle motor evoked potential (mMEP) in the upper extremities during surgery with the goal of producing a high and stable mMEP signal, in particular among the abductor pollicis brevis (APB), abductor digiti minimi (ADM), and across the APB-ADM muscles, which have been widely used for the mMEP in the upper extremities. Methods : Thirty right-handed patients were recruited in this prospective study. No patients showed any adverse events in their mMEP signals of the upper extremities during surgery. The mMEPs were recorded independently from the signals for the APB and ADM and for those across the APB-ADM. Results : The mMEP amplitude from across the APB-ADM was statistically higher than those recorded from the APB and ADM muscles. Moreover, the coefficient of variation of the mMEP amplitude from across the APB-ADM was smaller than those of mMEP amplitude recorded from the APB and ADM muscles. Conclusion : The mMEP from across the APB-ADM muscles showed a high yield with high stability compared to those in each case from the APB and ADM muscles. The configuration across the APB-ADM muscles would be best for mMEP recordings from the upper extremities for intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring purposes.

Narrow-band interference (NBI) from the coexisting narrow-band services affects the performance of ultra wideband (UWB) systems considerably due to the high power of these narrow-band signals with respect to the UWB signals. Specifically, IEEE 802.11a systems which operate around 5 GHz and overlap the band of UWB signals may interfere with UWB systems significantly. In this paper, we suggest a novel NBI suppression technique based on singular value decomposition (SVD) algorithm in time hopping UWB (TH-UWB) systems. SVD is used to approximate the interference which then is subtracted from the received signals. The algorithm precision and closed-form bit error rate (BER) expression are derived in the wireless multipath channel. Comparing with the conventional suppression methods such as a notch filter and a RAKE receiver, the proposed method is simple and robust and especially suitable for UWB systems.

In this paper, a novel time-domain measurement technique on a high parallelism probe card with protection resistors installed is proposed. The measured signal amplitude decreases when the measurement is performed by Needle Auto Calibration (NAC) probing on a high parallelism probe card with installed resistors. Therefore, the original signals must be carefully reconstructed, and the compensation coefficient, which is related to the number of channel branches and the value of protection resistors, must be introduced. The accuracy of the reconstructed signals is analyzed based on the varying number of channel branches and various protection resistances. The results demonstrate that the proposed technique is appropriate for evaluating the overall signal performance of probe cards with Automatic Test Equipment (ATE), which enhances the efficiency of probe card performance test dramatically.

As to power combining system, it is very important to achieve a high combining efficiency in order to minimize theamount of prime power needed and hence the cooling requirements, all of which translate into reduced cost. The combining efficiency is degraded in practice by variation in the amplitude and phase of the signals to be combined. In this paper, the new power combining newtork is proposed and realized which has the automatic gain and phase control system. This control system makes amplituede and phase variation of its all path equal. When the amplitude and phase variations are within 0~5dB and .+-.50.deg., the results show that high combining efficiency is maintained.

In this paper we propose a design method of X band frequency hopping synthesizer in terms of phase noise and settling time with DDS driven PLL architecture, which has the advantages of high frequency resolution, fast settling time and small size. In addition, a noble method is proposed to remove the synthesizer output spurious signals due to superposition effect of DDS. The spurious signal which depend on its normalized frequency of DDS, can be dominant if they occur within the PLL loop bandwidth. We verify that the sources of that spurious signals are quasi-amplitude modulation and superposition effect, and suggest that such signals can be eliminated by intentionally creating frequency errors in the developed synthesizer.

A joint blind parameter estimation algorithm based on minimum channel stability function aimed at the non-cooperative high-order modulated paired carrier multiple access (PCMA) signals is proposed. The method, which uses hierarchical search to estimate time delay, amplitude and frequency offset and the estimation of phase offset, including finite ambiguity, is presented simultaneously based on the derivation of the channel stability function. In this work, the structure of hierarchical iterative processing is used to enhance the performance of the algorithm, and the improved algorithm is used to reduce complexity. Compared with existing data-aided algorithms, this algorithm does not require a priori information. Therefore, it has significant advantage in solving the problem of blind parameter estimation of non-cooperative high-order modulated PCMA signals. Simulation results show the performance of the proposed algorithm is similar to the modified Cramer-Rao bound (MCRB) when the signal-to-noise ratio is larger than 16 dB. The simulation results also verify the practicality of the proposed algorithm.

내만은 잦은 선박통행, 인공구조물에 의한 쇄파 그리고 생물학적 활동으로 외해에 비해 공기방울의 생성이 활발하다. 따라서 공기방울의 생성과정과 분포형태가 주로 쇄파에 의존하는 외해의 특성과는 매우 다른 내만에서의 해수면 후방산란신호를 분석하였다. 해수면 후방산란신호의 입사각에 따른 변화, 해수면 부근에서의 잔향특성 그리고 산란신호의 주파수 확장폭 등을 외해의 산란신호 특성과 비교하였다. 내만에서의 표층 산란신호는 시간영역에서는 매우 불규칙한 진폭의 변화를 보이고 주파수 확장폭이 외해의 거친 해수면보다 더 크게 나타나고 있다. 소위 해수면 잔향신호의 진폭 분포는 기존에 알려진 Rayleigh 분포를 따르지 않고 있어 공기방울의 크기 및 수직분포가 외해와 비교, 매우 상이한 특성을 갖고 있음을 보여주고 있다.

The OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) systems are based en the transmission of a given set of signals on multiple orthogonal subcarriers, resulting in large variation in amplitude of transmit signals, and severe distortion by nonlinear characteristic of a high power amplifier (HPA) is unavoidable. We propose in this paper a computationally efficient structure of a baseband predistorter for compensation of nonlinear distortion by the HPA. Moreover, a predistorter which can be utilized in high speed transmission systems such as wireless ATM based on the proposed structure is designed using VHDL, and synthesized by the Synopsys tool.

It is well known that the constant modulus algorithm (CMA) presents a large steady-state mean-square error (MSE) for high-order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals. In this paper, we propose a low-complexity hybrid adaptive blind equalization algorithm, which augments the CMA error function with a novel constellation matched error (CME) term. The most attractive advantage of the proposed algorithm is that it is computationally simpler than concurrent CMA and soft decision-directed (SDD) scheme (CMA+SDD), and modified CMA (MCMA), while the approximation of steady-state MSE of the proposed algorithm is same with CMA+SDD, and lower than MCMA. Extensive simulations demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm.
