A hybrid free-space-optical/radio-frequency (FSO/RF) communication system is considered, with the help of amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying. We consider various weather conditions to investigate their effects on the system's performance. We begin by obtaining the cumulative distribution function and probability density function of the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio for the AF dual-hop FSO communication system with RF backup link. Then, these results are used to derive closed-form expressions for the outage probability, average bit-error rate, and average ergodic capacity. The results show that the considered system efficiently employs the complementary nature of FSO and RF links, resulting in impressive performance improvements compared to non-hybrid systems.

This paper introduces the development of the iterative multiple signal classification (MUSIC)-based direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation system using a rotator that can control the direction of antenna for the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) interference. The system calculates the spatial spectrum according to the noise eigenvector of all dimensions to measure the number of signals (NOS). Also, to detect the false peak, the system adjusts the array antenna's direction and checks the change's peak angles. The phase delay and gain correction values for system calibration are calculated in consideration of the chamber's structure and the characteristics of radio waves. The developed system estimated DOAs of interferences located about 1km away. The field test results show that the developed system can estimate the DOA without NOS information and detect the false peak even though the inter-element spacing is longer than the half-wavelength of the interference.

Challenges in cognitive radio and tactical communications include recognizing anonymously received signals and estimating parameters in a blind or semi-blind manner. In this paper, we examine this issue for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signaling. There are several parameters in OFDM signaling, and the blind receiver must extract and consider the synchronization issue. We assume that the blind receiver is aware of modulation type, OFDM, and not aware of chip duration and the length of cyclic prefix. First, we present new criteria based on kurtosis to estimate these parameters and compare their performance at different levels of additive white Gaussian noise with methods based on correlation, kurtosis, maximum likelihood, and matched filter. Then, we perform synchronization and estimate the start time based on these criteria and several new criteria in two steps: fine and coarse synchronization. Finally, in a more practical setup, we present the idea of jointly estimating the mentioned parameters and the signal start time as coarse synchronization. We compare different criteria and show that one of the proposed criteria has the highest efficiency.

In this paper, self-oscillating mixer is designed by small signal S-parameter and series feedback circuit. The input-output matching circuit is accomplished from double stub and additional matching stub. The self-oscillating mixer is oscillating itself and amplifies without any external local oscillator and an intermediate frequency amplifier, so it has advantages in its economical and system simplification. The experimental results show the maximum conversion gain 1.5d B and the noise figure 6.5d B at RF center frequency 4GHz and IF 1.1GHz` output oscillating power 4d Bm, efficiency 13.4%, stability -10MHz/V and -0.5MHz/\ulcornerC at oscillating frequency 5.1GHz.The rejection band loss characteristics in band pass filter and low pass filter are -40d B and -30d B, respectively.

In this study, the Rayleigh fast fading simualtors encountered in channel modelling of mobile radio have been implemented and evaluated. Two models used for the fading environment were frequency composition of phase modulated signals and shaping spectrum of noise sources with filters. The spectrum chosen for our purpose is appropriate to an omnidirectional antenna. From results of the experiment with various parameters, we have obtained satisfying results which are closely agreed to theoretical values.

본 논문에서는 무선통신로 채널상에 존재하는 가우스 잡음을 포함한 협대역 A급 임펄스 잡음과 나카가미페이딩 환경에서 하이브리드 CDMA MFSK시스템의 성능을 비교 분석하고, 성능 개선 기법으로 MRC 다이버시티 수신 기법과 부호화 기법을 동시에 채용함으로써 고려되어진 시스템의 성능을 개선시켰다. 결과에 의하면 임펄스 지수가 강할수록 또한. 페이딩 지수가 작을수록 하이브리드 CDMA 시스템에서는 성능이 더욱 열화 됨을 알 수 있었고, 성능 개선 기법으로 BCH 부호화 기법을 채용했을 경우 페이딩 지수가 증가할수록 성능개선의 폭이 큼을 알 수 있었다. 페이딩 지수가 작은 열악한 환경에서는 MRC 다이버시티 수신 기법을 채용하였을 경우가 BCH 부호화 기법을 채용하였을 경우 보다 시스템 성능이 우수하였지만, 페이딩 영향이 감소할수록 BCH 부호화 기법을 채용하였을 경우 시스템 성능이 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 반가우시안 분포와 레일리 페이딩 환경에서 각각의 성능 개선 기법을 단독으로 채용하였을 경우, 음성서비스 품질$(10^{-3})$에 도달할 수 없지만, BCH 부호화 기법과 MRC 다이버시티를 동시에 채용함으로써 강한 임펄스 잡음하에서도 24dB 이상에서 음성서비스 기준 오율을 만족하는 성능 개선 효과를 얻을 수 있었고, 페이딩 지수가(m=3) 이상에서는 강한 임펄스 잡음이 부가되어도 22dB에서 $(10^{-3})$을 만족하고 24㏈ 이상에서는 데이터 서비스 기준$(10^{-5})$ 오율을 만족하는 우수한 성능 개선 효과를 보임으로써 다이버시티 가지수와 부호화의 이득에 의한 에러 성능이 향상되었다.

This paper reports on our development of a dual-mode transceiver for a CMOS high-rate Bluetooth system-onchip solution. The transceiver includes most of the radio building blocks such as an active complex filter, a Gaussian frequency shift keying (GFSK) demodulator, a variable gain amplifier (VGA), a dc offset cancellation circuit, a quadrature local oscillator (LO) generator, and an RF front-end. It is designed for both the normal-rate Bluetooth with an instantaneous bit rate of 1 Mb/s and the high-rate Bluetooth of up to 12 Mb/s. The receiver employs a dualconversion combined with a baseband dual-path architecture for resolving many problems such as flicker noise, dc offset, and power consumption of the dual-mode system. The transceiver requires none of the external image-rejection and intermediate frequency (IF) channel filters by using an LO of 1.6 GHz and the fifth order onchip filters. The chip is fabricated on a $6.5-mm^{2}$ die using a standard $0.25-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. Experimental results show an in-band image-rejection ratio of 40 dB, an IIP3 of -5 dBm, and a sensitivity of -77 dBm for the Bluetooth mode when the losses from the external components are compensated. It consumes 42 mA in receive ${\pi}/4-diffrential$ quadrature phase-shift keying $({\pi}/4-DQPSK)$ mode of 8 Mb/s, 35 mA in receive GFSK mode of 1 Mb/s, and 32 mA in transmit mode from a 2.5-V supply. These results indicate that the architecture and circuits are adaptable to the implementation of a low-cost, multi-mode, high-speed wireless personal area network.

This paper investigates the spectrum hole utilization of cooperative schemes for the two-way relaying model in order to improve the utilization efficiency of limited spectrum holes in cognitive radio networks with imperfect spectrum sensing. We propose two specific bidirectional secondary data transmission (BSDT) schemes with two-step and three-step two-way relaying models, i.e., two-BSDT and three-BSDT schemes, where the spectrum sensing and the secondary data transmission are jointly designed. In the proposed cooperative schemes, the best two-way relay channel between two secondary users is selected from a group of secondary users serving as cognitive relays and assists the bi-directional communication between the two secondary users without a direct link. The closed-form asymptotic expressions for outage probabilities of the two schemes are derived with a primary user protection constraint over Rayleigh fading channels. Based on the derived outage probabilities, the spectrum hole utilization is calculated to evaluate the percentage of spectrum holes used by the two secondary users for their successful information exchange without channel outage. Numerical results show that the spectrum hole utilization depends on the spectrum sensing overhead and the channel gain from a primary user to secondary users. Additionally, we compare the spectrum hole utilization of the two schemes as the varying of secondary signal to noise ratio, the number of cognitive relays, and symmetric and asymmetric channels.
