The synthetic aperture radar(SAR) is an equipment that can acquire images in all weathers day and night based on radar signals. The on-board processor of satellite SAR generates transmission signal by digital signal processing, converts it into an analog signal and transmits to antenna. Until the transmission signal generated by on-board processor is output, the signal passes the transmission cables and analog devices. At this time, these hardware distort the signal and makes SAR performance worse. To improve the performance, pre-distortion technique is used. But, general pre-distortion using taylor series is not sufficient to compensate for the distortion. This paper suggests transmit signal design method with improved pre-distortion. This paper uses envelop sampling method and interpolation filter for frequency domain compensation. The proposed method accurately compensates the hardware distortion and reduces resource usage of FPGA. To analyze proposed method's performance, IRF characteristics are compared when the proposed method applies to signal with errors.

OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) signals sutler serious nonlinear distortion in the nonlinear HPA(High Power Amplifier) because of high PAPR(Peak Average Power Ratio). Nonlinear distortion can be improved by a pre-distorter, but this pre-distorter is insufficient when the PAPR is very high in an OPFDM system. In this paper, a DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform) transform technique is introduced for PAPR reduction. It is especially important to consider the memory effect of HPA for more precise predistortion. Therefore, in this paper, we consider two models, the TWTA(Traveling-Wave Tube Amplifier) model of Saleh without a memory effect and the HPA memory polynomial model that has a memory effect. We design a pre-distorter and an adaptive pre-distorter that uses the NLMS(Normalized Least Mean Square) algorithm for the compensation of this nonlinear distortion. Without the consideration of a memory effect, the system performance would be degraded, even if the pre-distorter is used for the compensation of the nonlinear distortion. From the simulation results, we can confirm that the proposed system shows an improvement in performance.

We propose a method for driving loudspeakers from class D audio power amplifiers in current mode, instead of in conventional voltage mode, which was impossible with the feedback circuitry. Unlike analog audio amplifiers, Class D audio power amplifiers have signal delay between the input and output signals, which makes it difficult to apply the feedback circuitry for current-mode driving. The idea of the pre-distortion scheme used for the compensation of the non-linearity of RF power amplifiers is adapted to remedy the impedance variation effect of the loudspeakers for current driving. The method uses the speaker model for the pre-distorter to compensate for the speaker impedance variation with frequency. The simulation and test results confirms the validity of the proposed method.

OFDM (직교 주파수 분할 다중화) 신호의 높은 PAPR은 시스템의 송신단에서 전력증폭기의 비선형적 특성으로 인해 비선형 왜곡이 불가피하게 발생한다. 이 현상은 대역 내 왜곡과 대역 외 방사를 초래한다. 본 논문에서는 다항식 (polynomial) 모델에 기반한 사전왜곡(pre-distortion) 기법으로 이러한 문제를 보상하는 기법을 제안한다. 비선형 및 역비선형 다항식 모델 추정은 LSE(Least Square Error) 알고리즘으로 수행한다. 또한 시스템의 성능 향상을 위해 피크제거와 클리핑 결합기법을 이용해 OFDM 신호가 전력증폭기의 포화 영역 근처에서 동작함으로써 발생하는 왜곡된 신호의 진폭을 제거한다.

Doherty 전력증폭기는 일반전력증폭기보다 효율은 뛰어나지만 많은 왜곡성분이 발생한다. 이러한 왜곡성분은 일반적인 진폭왜곡과 위상왜곡, 그리고 메모리 효과에 의한 왜곡성분으로 구분할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 전기적인 비선형성을 정확히 모델링하고 열 메모리 효과가 Doherty 증폭기에 미치는 영향을 연구함으로써, 전치왜곡기에 적용할 수 있는 열 메모리 효과 보상기를 제안하였다. Doherty 증폭기의 열 메모리 특성을 모델링하기 위하여 순시적으로 소모되는 전력과 순시 접합온도의 정확한 관계식을 정립하여 제안하였다. 제안된 모델의 파라미터는 전치왜곡기를 사용한 Doherty 증폭기의 열 메모리효과를 효율적으로 억제한다. 이러한 열 메모리 보상기를 가진 전치왜곡기는 선형화된 전력증폭기의 출력스펙트럼에서 약 22 dB정도의 ACLR 개선효과를 보인다. 측정결과는 50W급 LDMOS Doherty 전력증폭기로 측정하였으며, 열 메모리 보상기를 가진 전치왜곡기는 ADS로 검증하였다.

Underwater photographing and image recording are essential for pre-excavation survey and during excavation in underwater archaeology. Unlike photographing on land, all underwater images suffer various quality degradations such as shape distortions, color shift, blur, low contrast, high noise levels and so on. Outcome is very often heavily photographing equipment and photographer dependent. Excavation schedule, weather conditions, and water conditions can put burdens on divers. Usable images are very limited compared to the efforts. In underwater archaeological study in very turbid water such as in the Yellow Sea (between mainland China and the Korean peninsula), underwater photographing is very challenging. In this study, off-site image distortion and color compensation techniques using an image processing/analysis software is investigated as an alternative image quality enhancement method. As sample images, photographs taken during the excavation of 800-year-old Taean Mado Shipwrecks in the Yellow Sea in 2008-2010 were mainly used. Significant enhancement in distortion and color compensation of archived images were obtained by simple post image processing using image processing/analysis software (PicMan) customized for given view ports, lenses and cameras with and without optical axis offsets. Post image processing is found to be very effective in distortion and color compensation of both recent and archived images from various photographing equipment models and configurations. Merits and demerit of in-situ, distortion and color compensated photographing with sophisticated equipment and conventional photographing equipment, which requires post image processing, are compared.

In this paper, we designed and manufactured the distortion-cancellation module which is able to compensate thermal-noise distortion by software. The distortion-cancellation algorithm not only bring forth system non-linear distortion by input level but also bring compensate component of distortion by thermal to get rid off distortion from now on. After TMS 320C6711 DSP to recognize our algorithm, we manufactured the module for every kinds of system. To evaluate efficiency of the distortion-cancellation module, we designed and manufactured communication system. By measured result, if system output power is -3dBm equally, 12dB of ACLR has improved in 1MHz away from a center frequency, and also gain has increased up to 0.5dB.

In this paper, it is attempted to apply the adaptive digital signal processing to compensate for a linear distortion of a loudspeaker and implement a real time hardware for that purpose. The real time system is implemented by using the DSP56001, a general purpose signal processor, as a host processor and the DSP56200, a cascadable adaptive FIR filter peripheral chip, as an adaptive digital filter. The system has 1000 taps at a 44.1kHz. After inverse modeling of under_compensation_speaker, the system reduces loudspeaker's linear distortions by pre-processing an input audio signal to loudspeaker. The experiment shows satisfactory results; after adaption with white noise as input signal for 60sec, the flat amplitude and linear phase frequency characteristics is found to lie over a wide frequency range of 100Hz to 20kHz.

본 논문에서는 OFDM 통신 시스템에서 발생하는 높은 PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio) 문제를 해결하기 위해 NLMS(Normalized Least Mean Square) 알고리즘을 이용한 전치왜곡 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 기본적으로, HPA(High Power Amplifier)치 비선형 왜곡 특성을 추정하고, HPA에 그와 반대되는 특성으로 신호를 변환하여 입력함으로써 비선형 왜곡에 대한 보상이 이루어진다. 뿐만 아니라, NLMS 알고리즘을 통하여 전치 왜곡기의 특성이 자동적으로 갱신되므로 HPA의 비선형 왜곡 특성의 변화에도 그에 맞는 정확한 보상이 이루어질 수 있다. 성능분석 결과, 제안된 NLMS 전치 왜곡기는 IBO(Input Back Off)가 $0\;\cal{dB}$일 경우, 기존의 적응성이 없는 수식적인 전치 왜곡기보다 약 $0.5\;\cal{dB}$의 SNR 손실을 보인다. 하지만 IBO가 $3\;\cal{dB}$ 이상에서 이들의 성능의 거의 같아지며, 제안된 전치 왜곡기는 HPA의 특성 변화에 적응성을 가지므로 실제 시스템에서 기존의 수식적인 전치 왜곡기보다 매우 효과적이라 할 수 있다.

We propose a diode-based RF pre-distorter with various gain and phase characteristics, for non-linearity compensation of RF power amplifiers. This pre-distorter results in the removal of the diode- and configuration-dependent characteristics in the conventional diode-based RF pre-distorters. We have analyzed the operation principle of the proposed pre-distorter. The results show that gain and phase characteristics of the pre-distorter in all four quadrants are achieved. Several power amplifiers and test signals are used for verifying the performance of the proposed diode-based RF pre-distorter.
