Since the muiltipath signal arrives at the GPS receiver later than the line-of-sight signal, the multipath signal makes the shape of the correlation function asymmetric. This paper proposes a multipath mitigation method through asymmetry estimation of the correlation function, in which multiple correlators are utilized. The asymmetry is estimated from correlation values of correlators which have different chip spacings. Based on the estimated asymmetry, the correlation function is modified in order to get a better code tracking performance. Even through the proposed method uses multiple correlators including the narrow correlator, the acquisition performance is not degraded since the number of search cell of the narrow correlator part can be reduced in the algorithm of the proposed method. The simulation results show that the proposed method gives better performance than the generic correlator in multipath environment.

This paper proposes a novel two-stage detection scheme based on combining multiple correlator outputs to enhance the detection performance in ultra-wideband (UWB) signal acquisition. Due to the rich multipath of UWB channels, the signal energy spreads over multiple correlator outputs, which makes each correlator output have only a portion of the signal energy, and thus, degrades the detection performance of the conventional scheme where a single correlator output is used as the decision variable for detection. In the proposed two-stage detection scheme, the decision variable is formed by combining multiple correlator outputs, making it possible to collect the signal energy spread by the multipath. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can provide a better detection performance over the conventional scheme in various UWB channel environments.

A 2-dimensional search process in the time and frequency domain is required to acquire the GPS signal, when the code phase and the carrier Doppler for the specified GPS satellite signal are unknown. This paper proposes a new scheme, called Squared-D Searching Method, which can reduce the number of carrier frequency candidates, and a new scheme, named extended Multiple Correlator(XMC), which can reduce the number of code phase candidates. The Squared-D Searching Method can take the twice of Doppler frequency, therefore it can find carrier frequency candidates. The XMC is different from the general multiple correlator in that a combined form of the locally generated codes is used for despreading. Also, this paper tries to analyze a signal detection probability of a GPS receiver under more realistic environments. The result shows that lower detection probability can be obtained when the phase differences among the codes are larger in the correlation arms of a multiple correlator. This phenomenon is not easy to explain with the previous results. And besides, the result shows that proposed acquisition schemes give better performance than a conventional acquisition scheme.

In this paper, a new hybrid opto-digital multiple information hiding and real-time extracting system was suggested and implemented using a volume holographic optical correlator. The multiple information hiding system in which the multiple information can be hided in an arbitrary cover image was digitally implemented by using the combination of pseudo random sequence and Hadamard matrix. In addition, a real-time optical extraction system in which the hided multiple information in a cover image can be extracted in real-time was implemented by using a volume holographic optical correlator. In the VanderLugt-type holographic optical correlator used in this experiment, the multiful matched spatial filters corresponding each of the hided informations were recorded in a photorefractive crystal by using the moving window-based angular multiplexing scheme.

Ultra-wideband (UWB) signal energy spreads over multiple correlator outputs due to rich multipaths, making the output of each correlator have only a small portion of the total energy. Thus, in the proposed two-stage UWB signal detection scheme for cognitive radio communication systems, the decision variable is formed by combining multiple correlator outputs, making it possible to collect the signal energy spread by the multipaths, Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can provide a gain of about 0.6 dB over the conventional schemes in various UWB channel environments.

A method for joint-transform correlator (JTC) multiple-image encryption based on a quick-response (QR) code key is proposed. The QR codes converted from different texts are used as key masks to encrypt and decrypt multiple images. Not only can Chinese text and English text be used as key text, but also symbols can be used. With this method, users have no need to transmit the whole key mask; they only need to transmit the text that is used to generate the key. The correlation coefficient is introduced to evaluate the decryption performance of our proposed cryptosystem, and we explore the sensitivity of the key mask and the capability for multiple-image encryption. Robustness analysis is also conducted in this paper. Computer simulations and experimental results verify the correctness of this method.

In this paper, we propose an optical correlator system using volume holograms for database of matched filters. Optical correlator has high speed and parallel processing characteristics of optics. Matched filters are recorded into a volume hologram that can store data with high density, transfer them with high speed, and select a randomly chosen data element. The multiple reference images of database are prerecorded in a photorefractive crystal in the form of Fourier transform images, simply by passing the image displayed in a spatial light modulator through a Fourier transform lens. The angular multiplexing method for multiple holograms of database can be achieved by rotating the crystal by use of a step motor. Experimental results show that the proposed system can be used for the fingerprint recognition.

In this paper, the tracking of SFH/MFSK signals by using a paeallel correlator and a bank of BPF which is implemented by DFT recursively is studied. During symbol period, M-ary signal`s spectrum is analyzed by the step of n multiple of sampling period. The bank of BPF output which is stored for hop duration input to the parallel correlator. The time difference of the receiver and the transmitter is corrected by using sampling position and correlation time at which the largest output of correlator is generated. Syncronization signal detection rate and distribution of the largest output of correlator are evaluated by computer simulation in HF channel evironments for the performance analysis of proposed tracking method.

본 논문에서는 유도 무기와 같이 고속으로 운동하는 항체에서 GPS 신호 탐색 시간을 줄이기 위하여 INS와 다중 상관기를 이용한 신호 획득 기법을 제안한다. 신호의 코드위상을 여러 개의 상관기에서 동시에 탐색하도륵 다중 상관기를 구성하여 코드위상 검색에 소요되는 시간을 단축시키며 INS로부터의 속도와 위치를 이용하여 도플러 주파수를 추정하고 이것을 도플러 검색 초기 값으로 사용하여 검색시간을 줄인다. 제안한 기법을 검증하기 위하여 GPS와 IMU 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 INS와 다중 상관기를 이용하였을 때 TTFF가 매우 크게 단축되는 것을 알 수 있다.
