A signal system for improving the code acquisition complexity of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver is proposed and the receiving correlator scheme is presented accordingly. The proposed signal system is a hierarchical code type with a duplexing configuration which consists of the Zadoff-Chu (ZC) code having a good auto-correlation characteristic and the Pseudo Random Noise (PRN) code for distinguishing satellites. The receiving correlator has the scheme that consists of the primary correlator for the ZC code and the secondary correlator which uses the PRN code for the primary correlation results. The simulation results of code acquisition using the receiving correlator of the proposed signal system show that the proposed signal scheme improves the complexity of GNSS receiver and has the code acquisition performance comparable to the existing GNSS signal system using Coarse/Acquisition (C/A) code.

GPS L2C signal is a recently added civil signal to L2 frequency and is constructed by time division multiplexing of civil moderate (L2-CM) and civil long (L2-CL) code signals. While the L2-CM code is 20 ms-periodic and modulates satellite navigation message, the L2-CL code is 1.5s-periodic with 767,250 chips long code sequence and carries no data. Therefore, the L2-CL code signal allows receivers to perform a very long coherent integration. However, due to the length of the L2-CL code, the acquisition of the L2-CL code signal may take too long or require too much hardware resources. In this paper, we propose a three-step ultra-fast L2-CL code acquisition (TSCLA) technique for dual band GPS receivers. In the proposed TSCLA technique, a dual band GPS receiver sequentially acquires the coarse/acquisition (C/A) code signal at L1 frequency, the L2-CM code signal, and the L2-CL code signal to minimize mean acquisition time (MAT). The theoretical performance analysis and numerous Monte Carlo simulations show the significant advantage of the proposed TSCLA technique over conventional techniques introduced in the literature.

In fingerprint-based wireless positioning, it is necessary to establish a DB of the unmeasured area. To this end, a method of estimating the position of a base station based on a signal propagation model, and a method of estimating the information of the received signal in the unmeasured area based on the estimated position of the base station have been investigating. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the position of the base station using the measured information and to analyze the performance of the positioning. Vehicles equipped with a GPS receiver and signal measuring equipment travel the service area and acquire location-based Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) measurements. We propose a method of estimating the position of the base station using the measured information. And the performance of the proposed method is analyzed on a simulation basis. The simulation results confirm that the accuracy of the positioning is affected by the measured area and the Dilution of Precision (DOP), the accuracy of the position information obtained by the GPS receiver, and the errors of the signal included in the RSRP. Based on the results of this paper, we can expect that the position of the base station can be estimated and the DB of the unmeasured area can be constructed based on the estimated position of the base stations and the signal propagation model.

In this paper, various modulation techniques, including the legacy Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal modulation techniques, are introduced and the spectral characteristics and correlation characteristics of signals with various modulation techniques are analyzed based on numerical simulation. With the development of various GNSS services, the limited frequency band has become increasingly saturated, and issues of interoperability and compatibility have emerged in the new GNSS design. Since the efficient allocation of frequency resources is closely related to spectrum design, modulation techniques are one of the important signal design parameters of new signal design. Signal modulation techniques are closely related to various figure of merits (FoMs) as well as spectrum characteristic, and in some cases there is a complicated trade-off between FoMs. Thus, the FoMs associated with modulation technology should be analyzed and the best signal candidates should be chosen carefully via the trade-off analysis for FoMs. In this paper, we define the modulation technique based on Phase Shift Keying (PSK), Binary Offset Carrier (BOC) and Continuous Phase Modulation (CPM) for the design of KPS signals, and the FoMs of signals in terms of spectrum and correlation function are evaluated. Signals with various modulation techniques are implemented through a numerical simulation, and the relevant FoMs are analyzed.

The problem of classifying a non-line-of-sight (NLOS) signal in a multipath channel is important to improve global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positioning accuracy in urban areas. Conventional deep learning-based NLOS signal classifiers use GNSS satellite measurements such as the carrier-to-noise-density ratio (CN_0), pseudorange, and elevation angle as inputs. However, there is a computational inefficiency with use of these measurements and the NLOS signal features expressed by the measurements are limited. In this paper, we propose a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based NLOS signal classifier that receives successive Auto-correlation function (ACF) outputs according to a time-series, which is the most primitive output of GNSS signal processing. We compared the proposed classifier to other DL-based NLOS signal classifiers such as a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) to show the superiority of the proposed classifier. The results show the proposed classifier does not require the navigation data extraction stage to classify the NLOS signals, and it has been verified that it has the best detection performance among all compared classifiers, with an accuracy of up to 97%.

This letter deals with non-pilot-aided symbol timing estimation methods in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. To do this, OFDM system uses a frequency diversity scheme over two consecutive data symbols. Our approach can be viewed as an expansion of Schmidl's and Minn's correlation methods. Using the OFDM signal equipped with frequency diversity, however, symbol timing is accurately estimated without additional training symbol and a second-order diversity gain is achieved.

본 논문에서는 x-ray 영상시스템의 영상을 획득하기 위하여 x-ray 발생기와 영상획득시스템 사이의 동기를 맞추어 주는 트리거 발생기를 연구분석 하였다. 무선 트리거 발생기는 디지털영상 획득시스템으로부터 영상획득의 시작을 지시할 수 있는 ACQ_START 신호와 영상획득의 끝을 알리는 ACC_END 신호를 발생시킬 수 있도록 설계하였다. 디지털 영상의 획득은 ACQ_START 신호와 ACQ_END 신호 사이의 시간동안에만 정확하게 이루어지며 무선 원격 x-ray 신호의 검출을 통하여 유선통신 프로토콜 없이 정확한 x-ray 영상의 획득이 가능하고 20 mAs 의 x-ray 레벨에서 3.5 line pair /mm 분해능을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 시간 제한 조건을 가진 자유 선택 신호 전이 그래프로부터 비동기 회로를 합성하는 방법을 기술한다. 이 방법에서는 상태 그래프를 생성하지 않고 신호 전이 그래프로부터 직접 신호 전이들간의 관계를 구하여 비동기 회로를 합성한다. 본 논문의 합성 방법에서는 자유 선택 신호 전이 그래프를 선택 행위가 없는 결정성 신호 전이 그래프에 대하여 타이밍 분석을 수행하여 임의의 두 신호 전이 사이의 시간 제약 병렬 관계와 시간 제약 인과 관계를 구한다. 다음에는 이 관계들을 이용하여 각 결정성 신호 전이 그래프에 대한 합성을 수행하고 그 결과를 합병함으로써 전체 회로를 합성한다. 실험 결과에 의하면 본 논문에서 제안한 합성 방법은 상태 공간이 큰 회로에 대하여 현저하게 합성시간을 단축시킬 수 있을 뿐 만 아니라 기존의 상태 그래프 기반 합성 방법과 비교하여 거의 같은 면적의 회로를 합성한다.

교통상황 분류는 신호연동그룹 단위의 정주기식 제어 기법을 효율적으로 적용하기 위하여 TOD 계획을 수립하는데 핵심적인 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 신호연동그룹에 속하는 모든 교차로의 교통 자료 즉, 속도-교통량-밀도를 활용할 수 있는 딥 임베디드 클러스터링(Deep-Embedded Clustering:DEC) 기반 교통상황 분류 방법론을 제시하였다. 기존의 신호계획의 경우 교통량 기반으로 주요 교차로를 선정하고 해당 교차로의 교통자료를 이용하여 단편적인 신호계획을 하였으나, 본 논문에서 제시된 방법론의 경우 신호연동 그룹내 다수 교차로의 종합적인 교통특성에 따라 교통상황을 유연하게 분류하여 신호계획을 할 수 있는 기반을 제공하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 방법론은 일반적인 군집화 방법론이 입력 자료의 차원이 증가함에 따라 겪는 차원의 저주 (Curse of dimensionality) 문제를 완화함으로써 신호연동그룹에 속하는 모든 신호교차로의 교통자료를 고려한 신호시간 계획 수립이 가능하며 기존의 특정교차로 및 교통량만을 이용한 교통상황 분류방법론의 단점을 극복할 수 있음을 보였다.

By using the clock timing control at transmitter (TX), the crosstalk-induced jitter (CIJ) is compensated for in the 2-bit parallel data transmission through the coupled microstrip lines on printed circuit board (PCB). Compared to the authors' prior work, the delay block circuit is simplified by combining a delay block with a minimal number of stages and a 3-to-1 multiplexer. The delay block generates three clock signals with different delays corresponding to the channel delay of three different signal modes. The 3-to-1 multiplexer selects one of the three clock signals for TX timing depending on the signal mode. The TX is implemented by using a $0.18\;{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The measurement shows that the TX reduces the RX jitters by about 38 ps at the data rates from 2.6 Gbps to 3.8 Gbps. Compared to the authors' prior work, the amount of RX Jitter reduction increases from 28 ps to 38 ps by using the improved implementation.
