In this paper, we proposed the architecture of the Hybrid Quadrature Polar transmitter which has the wideband characteristics available for the SRD(Short Range Device). First, we developed the simulation environment and carried out performance degradation analysis. Second, we considered the slewrate of the VVA(Voltage Variable Attenuator), time delay between magnitude signal and phase signal and the number of bits for DAC(Digital-to-Analog Converter) as the main performance factors. Then we obtained the minimum required values to meet the transmitting performance requirements of 3GPP standards through simulation results. Based on these results, we implemented the Wideband Hybrid Quadrature Polar transmitter platform and varified the performance requirements through practical measurement.

In this paper, a design technique is introduced for designing a 360-degree linear analog phase shifter at 1.8㎓. Using tunable short-circuit terminated comb-line filters as reactive loads, the circuit gives a very small insertion loss(less than 0.1㏈) and an almost linear phase shifter over the filter bandwidth for the full 360-degree range. We were showed large phase variation with small capacitance variation in the quadrature hybrid coupler using tunable shorted terminated combline filters.

DFT-spread OFDM(Discrete Fourier Transform-Spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is very effective for solving the PAPR(Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) problem. Therefore, the SC-FDMA(Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access) which is basically same to the DFT spread OFDM was adopted as the uplink standard of the 3GPP LTE ($3^{rd}$ Generation Partnership Project Long Term Evolution). Unlike the ordinary OFDM system, the SC-FDMA using DFT spreading method is vulnerable to the ICI(Inter-Carrier Interference) problem caused by the phase noise and IQ(In-phase/Quadrature) imbalance and effected FDE(Frequency Domain Equalizer). In this paper, the ICI effects from the phase noise and IQ imbalance which can be problems in uplink transmission are analyzed according the back-off level of HPA. Next, we propose the equalizer algorithm to remove the ICI effects. This proposed equalizer based on the FDE can be considered as up-graded and improved version of PNS(Phase Noise Suppression) algorithm. This proposed equalizer effectively compensates the ICI resulting from the phase noise and IQ imbalance. Finally, through the computer simulation, it can be shown that about SNR=14 dB is required for the $BER=10^{-4}$ after ICI compensation when the back-off is 4.5 dB, $\varepsilon=0.005$, $\phi=5^{\circ}$, and $pn=0.06\;rad^2$.

This paper presents a timing recovery method using Gardner TED (Timing Error Detector) with a Peak Detector using Parabola Peak Interpolation in underwater acoustic communication. This method will have an eye to improve phase converge speed of timing recovery and reduced amount of Tx data. The OQPSK(Offset Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) modulation technique was considered. The proposed algorithm has faster recovery speed and more accurate than Gardner TED because the sampling values in the proposed algorithm are moved persistingly to maximum or minimum point using parabolic peak interpolation. when simulation performed using Preposed method, it improved BER (Bit Error Rate) performance about 23% And to evaluate the performances of the proposed algorithm the sea trial was performed in the Korean East Sea. And distance of a transmitter-receiver is 3 km each other. As a result, the proposed algorithm outperforms better BER performance about 20% of timing recovery than the Gardner method. Also Proposed method improved converge speed of timing recovery about 1.4 times better than Gardner method.

In wireless communications, knowledge of the signal-to-noise ratio is required in diverse communication applications. In this paper, we derive the variance of the maximum likelihood estimator in the data-aided and non-data-aided schemes for determining the optimal shrinkage factor. The shrinkage factor is usually the constant that is multiplied by the unbiased estimate and it increases the bias slightly while considerably decreasing the variance so that the overall mean squared error decreases. The closed-form biased estimators for binary-phase-shift-keying and quadrature phase-shift-keying systems are then obtained. Simulation results show that the mean squared error of the proposed method is lower than that of the maximum likelihood method for low and moderate signal-to-noise ratio conditions.

In general, channel information of received DTV signal analyzed based on symbol timing clock with only In-phase information in DTV receiver. This paper presents technical requirements of channel analysis system for DTV reception signal. In order to meet such requirements and measure more accurate magnitude and phase of channel information, compensation method for the quadrature information from measured in-phase data is proposed. The proposed channel analysis system is implemented with a commercial DTV chipset and provides fast data analysis with good connectivity with field test vehicles. Computer simulation and laboratory test results are provided to figure out the performance of the proposed channel analysis system for DTV signal.

In this paper, we propose a new selected mapping (SLM) scheme for reducing peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals modulated with quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), called amplitude and phase variant SLM (APSLM). Contrary to the conventional SLM which rotates the phases of QAM symbols in the frequency domain, the proposed scheme changes the magnitudes as well as the phases of QAM symbols by applying binary sequences to the binary data sequence before mapped to QAM symbols. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has better PAPR reduction performance than the conventional SLM scheme for the QAM modulated OFDM signals, especially for the small number of subcarriers.

The radar interferogram represents phase differences between the two synthetic aperture radar observations acquired in slightly different angle. The success of the radar interferometric application largely depends on the quality of the interferogram generated from two or more synthetic aperture radar data sets. We propose here to apply the wavenumber correlation analysis to the in-phase and quadrature phase of the radar interferogram. The wavenumber correlation analysis is to resolve the highly correlated components from the low correlation components by estimating correlation coefficients for each wavenumber component. Through this approach, one can easily distinguish the signal components from the noise components in the wavenumber domain. Therefore, the wavenumber correlation analysis of the radar interferogram can be utilized to design post filter and to estimate the quality of interferogram. We have tested the wavenumber correlation analysis using a Radarsat SAR data pair to demonstrated the effectiveness of

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.

The main goal of this paper is to study the vibration of damaged core laminated annular plates with FG face sheets based on a three-dimensional theory of elasticity. The structures are made of a damaged isotropic core and two external face sheets. These skins are strengthened at the nanoscale level by randomly oriented Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and are reinforced at the microscale stage by oriented straight fibers. These reinforcing phases are included in a polymer matrix and a three-phase approach based on the Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka scheme and on the Halpin-Tsai approach, which is developed to compute the overall mechanical properties of the composite material. In this study the effect of microcracks on the vibrational characteristic of the sandwich plate is considered. In particular, the structures are made by an isotropic core that undergoes a progressive uniform damage, which is modeled as a decay of the mechanical properties expressed in terms of engineering constants. These defects are uniformly distributed and affect the central layer of the plates independently from the direction, this phenomenon is known as "isotropic damage" and it is fully described by a scalar parameter. Three complicated equations of motion for the sectorial plates under consideration are semi-analytically solved by using 2-D differential quadrature method. Using the 2-D differential quadrature method in the r- and z-directions, allows one to deal with sandwich annular plate with arbitrary thickness distribution of material properties and also to implement the effects of different boundary conditions of the structure efficiently and in an exact manner. The fast rate of convergence and accuracy of the method are investigated through the different solved examples. The sandwich annular plate is assumed to have any arbitrary boundary conditions at the circular edges including simply supported, clamped and, free. Several parametric analyses are carried out to investigate the mechanical behavior of these multi-layered structures depending on the damage features, through-the-thickness distribution, and boundary conditions.
