본 논문에서는 무선통신로 채널상에 존재하는 가우스 잡음을 포함한 협대역 A급 임펄스 잡음과 나카가미 페이딩 환경에서 하이브리드 DS/FH-CDMA MFSK 시스템의 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 DS/FH-CDMA 시스템에서는 성능이 더욱 열화됨을 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 경우 시스템 성능이 우수하였지만, 페이딩 영향이 감소할수록 BCH 부호화 기법을 채용하였을 경우 시스템 성능이 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 레일리 페이딩 환경에서 각각의 성능개선 기법을 단독으로 채용하였을 경우, 음성서비스 품질($10^{-3}$)에 도달할 수 없지만, BCH 부호화 기법과 MRC 다이버시티를 동시에 채용함으로써 강한 임펄스 잡음 하에서도 24dB 이상에서 음성서비스 기준 오율을 만족하는 성능 개선 효과를 얻을 수 있었고, 페이딩 지수가( $m_{i}$=3) 이상에서는 강한 임펄스 잡음이 부가되어도 21dB에서 $10^{-3}$을 만족하고 28dB 이상에서는 데이터 서비스 기준($10^{-5}$) 오율을 만족하는 우수한 성능 개선 효과를 보임으로써 다이버시티 가지수와 부호화의 이득에 의한 에러 성능이 향상되었다.

This paper presents the experimental results of a low-power low-cost RF transceiver for the 915 MHz band IEEE 802.15.4b standard. Low power and low cost are achieved by optimizing the transceiver architecture and circuit design techniques. The proposed transceiver shares the analog baseband section for both receive and transmit modes to reduce the silicon area. The RF transceiver consumes 11.2 mA in receive mode and 22.5 mA in transmit mode under a supply voltage of 1.8 V, in which 5 mA of quadrature voltage controlled oscillator is included. The proposed transceiver is implemented in a 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process and occupies 10 $mm^2$ of silicon area.

More than 42 000 fires occur nationwide and cause over 2500 casualties every year. There is a lack of specialized equipment, and rescue operations are conducted with a minimal number of apparatuses. Through-the-wall radars (TTWRs) can improve the rescue efficiency, particularly under limited visibility due to smoke, walls, and collapsed debris. To overcome detection challenges and maintain a small-form factor, a TTWR system-on-chip (SoC) and its architecture have been proposed. Additive reception based on coherent clocks and reconfigurability can fulfill the TTWR demands. A clock-based single-chip infrared radar transceiver with embedded control logic is implemented using a 130-nm complementary metal oxide semiconductor. Clock signals drive the radar operation. Signal-to-noise ratio enhancements are achieved using the repetitive coherent clock schemes. The hand-held prototype radar that uses the TTWR SoC operates in real time, allowing seamless data capture, processing, and display of the target information. The prototype is tested under various pseudo-disaster conditions. The test standards and methods, developed along with the system, are also presented.

This paper describes the RF performance issues of UE for W-CDMA system based on 3 GPP specifications. The parameters of transmitter and receiver are derived from the viewpoint of RF performance. In order for UE to achieve high performance, the transceiver performance requirements such as ACLR, EVM, Peak Code Domain Error, spectrum emission mask, frequency error stability and TX power control dynamic range for transmitter and reference sensitivity level, blocking characteristics, noise figure, ACS, AGC dynamic range for receiver are considered. On the basis of the required parameters, the UE RF transceiver is implemented and then the evaluation of RF performance is accomplished through practical test scenarios.

This paper suggests an efficient method of protection ratio calculation and shows some calculated results applicable to frequency coordination in microwave relay system networks, and the net filter discrimination (NFD) associated with Tx spectrum mask and overall Rx filter characteristics has been examined to obtain the adjacent channel protection ratio. The protection ratio comprises several factors such as C/N of modulation scheme, noise-to-interference ratio, multiple interference allowance, fade margins of multi-path and rain attenuation, and NFD. According to computed results for 6.7 GHz, 64-QAM, and 60 km at BER $10^{-6}$, fade margin and co-channel protection ratio are 41.1 and 75.2 dB, respectively, In addition, NFD for channel bandwidth of 40 MHz reveals 28.9 dB at the first adjacent channel, which results in adjacent channel protection ratio of 46.3 dB. The proposed method provides some merits of an easy calculation, systematic extension, and applying the same concept to frequency coordination in millimeter wave relay system networks.

In this paper, we consider an amplify-and-forward (AF) full-duplex relay network (FDRN) using simultaneous wireless information and power transfer, where a battery-free relay node harvests energy from the received radio frequency (RF) signals from a source node and uses the harvested energy to forward the source information to destination node. The time-switching relaying (TSR) protocol is studied, with the assumption that the channel state information (CSI) at the relay node is imperfect. We deliver a rigorous analysis of the outage probability of the proposed system. Based on the outage probability expressions, the optimal time switching factor are obtained via the numerical search method. The simulation and numerical results provide practical insights into the effect of various system parameters, such as the time switching factor, the noise power, the energy harvesting efficiency, and the channel estimation error on the performance of this network. It is also observed that for the imperfect CSI case, the proposed scheme still can provide acceptable outage performance given that the channel estimation error is bounded in a permissible interval.

Ultra Wideband is a new technology from commercial or civilian application viewpoint. It uses already allocated radio spectrum without causing significant interference to other users. It uses very low power, which is below the thermal noise of the receiver and is inherently difficult to detect by un-intentional users. Since, FCC approved the regulation for the commercial use of UWB in February 2002, the development of UWB technology is drastically gaining momentum. However, the technology itself is not new. It has already been used in military applications. UWB has three basic areas of applications, which are communication, positioning and imaging (UWB Microwave). The main commercial application will be for communication since it has very high data transfer rate for short distance. It can also be used for both indoor and outdoor 3-D positioning. Another important application is imaging like microwave remote sensing. An UWB sensor can pass through doors and walls and hence detect the objects inside the room. In this paper, we will introduce about UWB technology along with it’s various possible applications. We will also present some models to generate UWB signal and it’s analysis using signal-processing tools.

Electricity meters using in Korea are about 1.8 million units. From among these, electronic meters for high voltage, about 170 thousand units were installed to the digital type meter and ones for low voltage installed hundreds of thou-sands of meters through a model project. Recently, low voltage meter are expected to complete the installation within several years. Domestic power metering technology is being beyond a simple framework with an electronic type and is rapidly evolving to intelligent smart metering systems in conjunction with promotion of a national smart grid project. Accordingly, it is important to ensure an immunity of meter for electromagnetic field and environmental noise at the installation site. In this paper, we are going to check the validity of international standard that focusing on RF electromagnetic field immunity of meter to secure the quality and improve the reliability in field operation of meter. And we will verify the validity of test specification focused on actual installation environment and are going to offer the improvement plan of test standard.

This paper introduces an efficient voltage multiplier circuit for improved voltage gain and power efficiency of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. The multiplier is fully integratable and takes advantage of both passive and active circuits to reduce the required input power while yielding the desired DC voltage. A six-stage voltage multiplier and an ultralow power voltage regulator are designed in a 0.13 ${\mu}m$ complementary metal-oxide semiconductor process for 2.45 GHz RFID applications. The minimum required input power for a 1.2 V supply voltage in the case of a 50 ${\Omega}$ antenna is -20.45 dBm. The efficiency is 15.95% for a 1 $M{\Omega}$ load. The regulator consumes 129 nW DC power and maintains the reference voltage in a 1.1% range with $V_{dd}$ varying from 0.8 to 2 V. The power supply noise rejection of the regulator is 42 dB near a 2.45 GHz frequency and performs better than -32 dB from 100 Hz to 10 GHz frequencies.
