Frequency offset in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is known to cause the inter-channel interference (ICI), amplitude and phase distortion of a received signal, resulting in a severe performance degradation of the total system. In this paper, we propose an improved pilot-based masimum likelihood frequency offset estimation technique, which uses the predefined sync-subchannels, and derive the error performance of the proposed frequency offset estimator analytically. The proposed technique improves the performance of the frequency offset estimator by adding up the frequency offset caused by coherent phase changes and averaging out the effect caused by random phase error. It is confirmed by computer simulations that the upper bound of error variance for the proposed frequency offset estimator analytically derived in this paper is correct, and that the proposed estimator has better performance than the previous ones in terms of error variance, tracking range, and time-varying characteristics of a channel.

A new type of digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) that employs a multilevel quantified timing error detector (TED) is proposed and analyzed under the assumption of negligible quantizing effect and no noise. Since the timing error is quantized uniformly, the TED has a linear characteristic. From the linear characteristic of TED, a first order difference equation describing the behavior of the loop is derived. Using the system equation, the loop is analyzed mathematically for phase step and frequency step input. Desired locking condition for the loop to be locked and the lock range for the DPLL's to achieve exact locking independently of initial conditions are ob-tained. And these analyses are confirmed by timing error plane plots and computer simulation.

The Centimeter Level Augmentation Service (CLAS) is the Precise Point Positioning (PPP) - Real Time Kinematic (RTK) correction service utilizing the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) L6 (1278.65 MHz) signal to broadcast the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) error corrections. Compact State-Space Representation (CSSR) corrections for mitigating GNSS measurement error sources such as satellite orbit, clock, code and phase biases, tropospheric error, ionospheric error are estimated from the ground segment of QZSS CLAS using the code and carrier-phase measurements collected in the Japan's GNSS Earth Observation Network (GEONET). Since the CLAS service begun on November 1, 2018, users with dedicated receivers can perform cm-level precise positioning using CSSR corrections. In this paper, CLAS-based VRS-RTK performance evaluation was performed using Global Positioning System (GPS) observables collected from the refence station, TSK2, located in Japan. As a result of performing GPS-only RTK positioning using the open-source software CLASLIB and RTKLIB, it took about 15 minutes to resolve the carrier-phase ambiguities, and the RTK fix rate was only about 41%. Also, the Root Mean Squares (RMS) values of position errors (fixed only) are about 4cm horizontally and 7 cm vertically.

In this paper, we develop design procedures for carrier tracking loop for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems or other systems of blocked data. In such communication systems, phase error measurements are made infrequent enough to invalidate the traditional loop design methodology which is based on analog loop design. We analyze the degradation in the OFDM schemes caused by the tracking loop and show how the performance is dependent on the rms phase error, where we distinguished between the effect of the variance in the average phase over the symbol and the effect of the phase change over the symbol. We derive the optimal tracking loop including optional delay in the loop caused by processing time. Our solution is general and includes arbitrary phase noise apd additive noise spectrums. In order to guarantee a well behaved solution, we have to check the design against margin constraints subject to uncertainties. In case the optimal loop does not meet the required margin constraints subjected to uncertainties, it is shown how to apply a method taken from control theory to find a controller. Alternatively, if we restrict the solution to first or second order loops, we give a simple loop design procedure which may be sufficient in many cases. Extensions of the method are shown for using both pilot symbols and data symbols in the OFDM receiver for phase tracking. We compare our results to other methods commonly used in OFDM receivers and we show that a large improvement can be gained.

In this paper, A Vector Modulator based a wideband analog phase shifter is realized with four P-I-N diode attenuators, an asymmetric coupled line coupler, a symmetric coupled line coupler, and a power combiner. Simple configuration to have advantages in cost, size, power, and the number of passive circuits is presented. The phase variation due to phase and amplitude error of a P-I-N diode attenuator is derived and used to optimize the overall circuit. The phase shifter shows a total phase shift of 360$^{\circ}$, a 8.2$^{\circ}$maximum phase error, and a 16${\pm}$2.5 dB insertion loss over the wide frequency range of 1 GHz to 3 GHz.

In this paper, the design techniques required to design heterodyned OPLL such as frequency-phase deference detector, loop filter and phase noise of semiconductor laser are presented. Through the experiments with the calculated parameters, we confirmed that the frequency-phase difference detector simply develops an error component that is proportional to the frequency-phase difference between heterodyned optical signals. The achieved frequency-phase locking range of the input laser diode frequency is around ${\pm}150MHz$. This paper describes the details of the designed as well as experimental results.

A received signal in mobile communication environments exhibits variation in both amplitude and phase due to the multipath fading. Therefore we analyzed the performance of DS/CDMA(Direct Sequence/code Division Multiple Access) DPSK(Differential Phase Shift Keying) system for the variations of PLL(Phase Locked Loop) gain with Tikhonov probability density function, assuming that the phase difference between transmitter and receiver signals is phase error. As a result, it is discovered that the performance of system could be improved by the control of PLL gain in compared with the DPSK system which does not consider the phase error. If the PLL gain is 1dB, the difference of two systems is 4.8dB and 0.4dB at 7dB. and if 30dB, it coincides. From above, it

In this paper, we report phase noise effects on SER(Symbol Error Rate) of MQAM(M-ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), DPSK(Differential Phase Shift Keying), OFDM(Orthogonal frequency Division Multiplex)-MQAM and OFDM-DPSK. SER of each modulation method has been quantified at the various offset frequencies of the local oscillator and compared with phase noise effects with the ideal cases, which have no phase noise, through the MATLAB simulation. And the ratio of modulation bandwidths to the SERs at the various frequency offsets for the above modulation methods have been analyzed for the system requirement of minimum phase noise characteristics.

In this paper, we have studied the 8 YSB (8 Vestigial Side Band) method which is decided as the standard of modulators for next generation digital TV System. In developing digital TV System, one of the difficult problems is how digital signal can be transmitted to the receiver without any phase distortion. But, phase error is liable to occur by imperfect design, circumstance variation and device degradation. These characteristics result in distortion of 1,0 signal of modulator and interference in adjacent channels. In particular, the interference in modulator of a high power amplifier result in serious problems in adjacent channels. Here we analyzed problems of phase error which are occurred when 8 levels digital signals are modulated to If signal. And we suggested phase error compensation algorithm and discussed the results for adaptation of the algorithm
