이동통신 시스템에서 지하 주차장, 지하상가, 터널, 빌딩내부등과 같이 기지국에 의한 신호의 커버리지가 충분하지 못한 지역들이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 영역의 경제적인 해결 방안으로 중계기가 널리 사용된다. 그러나, 중계기의 수가 증가할수록 역방향 링크의 기지국으로 유입되는 잡음 전력이 중계기의 숫자에 비례하여 증가하기 때문에 채널 용량이 감소하게 된다. 수십, 수백개의 중계기가 하나의 기지국에 연결되는 상황에서 이러한 채널 용량의 감소는 더 이상 무시할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 커버리지 내에 통화중인 사용자가 없을 때에 자동적으로 동작하지 않는 스위칭 중계기를 제안하였다. 스위칭 중계기를 사용하면 중계기의 커버리지 내에 통화중인 사용자가 없을 때 불필요한 잡음 레벨을 줄일 수 있다. 스위칭 중계기를 사용한 이동통신 시스템의 역방향 링크 채널 용량을 수학적으로 분석하여 스위칭 중계기를 사용하지 않는 상황과 비교하였다. 그 결과 스위칭 중계기를 사용할 때 충분히 채널용량이 개선되었음을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, a dual polarized broadband antenna fed by L-shaped strip for the Korea PCS band and W-CDMA band is presented. To analyze the characteristics of the designed antenna, we used commercial simulation tool(HFSS). The designed antenna was fabricated and measured using HP8753D vector network analyzer. The measured impedance bandwidth(VSWR<1.5) is 560 MHz and the measured average gain is 6.56 dBi. The measured isolation characteristic between two ports is -14 dB(min.) $\sim$ -40 dB(max.). These results are proper for the mobile communication application and repeater antenna.

In addition to individual calls and group calls, the Trunked Radio System (TRS), which belongs to a group, can make calls simultaneously, and many users can use it within a limited time by adjusting the call time. Also, the LCX infrastructure network of the subway Most of the FM, firefighting radio, TRS of the National Police Agency and the terrestrial DMB service built in 2005 are commonly connected to the network for service and operation. In connection with the analysis, call reception sensitivity, handoff, interference with other signals, time delay, etc. were analyzed, and tests such as reception field strength for each output of the repeater and the success rate of the call terminal were conducted and the test results were analyzed. In addition, it will help TRS cell design and network construction by predicting equipment output capacity and service coverage based on test results.

Field data monitoring systems such as renewable energy generation and smart farm integrated control are developing from PC and server to mobile first, and various wireless communication and application services have emerged with the development of IoT technology. Low-power wide-area networks are services optimized for low-power, low-capacity, and low-speed data transmission, and data collected in the field is transmitted to designated storage servers or cloud-based data platforms, enabling data monitoring. In this paper, we implement an IoT repeater that collects field data with a single device and transmits it to a wireless carrier cloud data flat using a low-power wide-area network, and a monitoring app using it. Using this, the system configuration is simpler, the cost of deployment and operation is lower, and effective data accumulation is possible.

In this paper, we propose a digital transceiver unit design for in-building of 5G optical repeaters that extends the coverage of 5G mobile communication network services and connects to a stable wireless network in a building. The digital transceiver unit for driving the proposed 5G optical repeater is composed of 4 blocks: a signal processing unit, an RF transceiver unit, an optical input/output unit, and a clock generation unit. The signal processing unit plays an important role, such as a combination of a basic operation of the CPRI interface, a 4-channel antenna signal, and response to external control commands. It also transmits and receives high-quality IQ data through the JESD204B interface. CFR and DPD blocks operate to protect the power amplifier. The RF transmitter/receiver converts the RF signal received from the antenna to AD, is transmitted to the signal processing unit through the JESD204B interface, and DA converts the digital signal transmitted from the signal processing unit to the JESD204B interface and transmits the RF signal to the antenna. The optical input/output unit converts an electric signal into an optical signal and transmits it, and converts the optical signal into an electric signal and receives it. The clock generator suppresses jitter of the synchronous clock supplied from the CPRI interface of the optical input/output unit, and supplies a stable synchronous clock to the signal processing unit and the RF transceiver. Before CPRI connection, a local clock is supplied to operate in a CPRI connection ready state. XCZU9CG-2FFVC900I of Xilinx's MPSoC series was used to evaluate the accuracy of the digital transceiver unit for driving the 5G optical repeater proposed in this paper, and Vivado 2018.3 was used as the design tool. The 5G optical repeater digital transceiver unit proposed in this paper converts the 5G RF signal input to the ADC into digital and transmits it to the JIG through CPRI and outputs the downlink data signal received from the JIG through the CPRI to the DAC. And evaluated the performance. The experimental results showed that flatness, Return Loss, Channel Power, ACLR, EVM, Frequency Error, etc. exceeded the target set value.

In this paper, we will design a 800MHz broadband antenna after a problem of the narrow bandwidth is improved. This multiple band antenna unifies the CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access), GSM(Global System for Mobile Telecommunication) and TRS(Trunked Radio System) band in the UHF band, and then it is possible at the shore base station or repeater as the commercial use. It used the duplex resonance effect it had the L-shared feeding structure which adds the U-slot. And it improved profit using stack structure. It was measured that the frequency bandwidth of the designed antenna which is planed $792{\sim}1040MHz$ with 248MHz(33%). And the antenna gain is 9.4dBi, 3dB beam width $60^{\circ}$ in radiation pattern.

In this paper, the frequency reconfigurable antenna is proposed and designed. The proposed antenna is designed using the vertically stacked dipole structures and have the operating band for Cellular, PCS/WCDMA/Wibro/WiFi and WiMAX. The operating frequency band is selected by three pair of PIN diodes using the voltage difference between each dipole antenna and feeding transmission lines. The proposed antenna meets the required operating bandwidth and the maximum gain for each frequency band are measured as 6.3 dBi, 5.4 dBi and 5.8 dBi, respectively. The proposed antenna in this paper can be applied for the future mobile small base station or repeater antenna because this antenna can provide the small size and high gain features.

In this paper, using newly proposed size reduction technique, the aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna for a repeater system in a mobile communication cellular band (824~849 MHz) is developed with a wide bandwidth, small size, light weight, and low cost. The resonant frequency of microstrip antennas is related to the electric field distribution of the radiating patch. The field strength of $TM_{01}$ mode of a rectangular patch antenna is strongest at each of the extremities of the radiating patch, but negligible at center. Therefore, the size of a patch antenna can be effectively minimized by inserting the narrow rectangular dielectric into just under the edges of the resonant Patch. This Paper also proposes the bandwidth improvement technique by using under-coupling technique with a tuning stub. The VSWR is less than 1.5 : 1 for the whole cellular band. The simulation tool was HFSS, Agilent Technologies, Inc.

Currently, positioning methods for LBS(Location Based Service) are GPS and network-based positioning techniques that use mobile communication networks. In these methods, however, the accuracy of positioning decreases due to the propagation delay caused by the non-line-of-sight(NLOS) effect and the repeater. To address this disadvantage, the CDMA system uses Pattern Matching algorithm. The Pattern Matching algorithm constructs a database of the propagation characteristics of the RF signals measured during the GPS positioning along with the positioned locations, so that the location can be provided by comparing the propagation characteristics of the received signals and the database, upon a user's request. In the area where GPS signals are not received, however, a database cannot be constructed. There are problem that the accuracy of positioning decreases due to the area without a database Because Pattern Matching algorithm depend on database existence. Therefore, this paper proposed a pilot signal strength prediction algorithm to enable construction of databases for areas without databases, so as to improve the performance of the Pattern Matching algorithm. The database was constructed by predicting the pilot signals in the area without a database using the proposed algorithm, and the Pattern Matching algorithm analysed positioning performance.
