MQASK 수신기에서 수신 심볼의 타이밍 동기에 사용되는 타이밍 복원 루프 Timing Error Detector(TED) 와 입력신호의 표본화율을 제어하는 VCO또는 NCO 및 루프 필터로 구성된다. 여기서 수신신호의 심볼율과 수신기의 표본화율의 시간 축에서의 위상차를 검출하는 TED는 심볼율과 표본화율의 주파수차가 클 경우 정상동작을 하지 못하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 PLL의 주파수 검출기와 같은 역할을 타이밍 복원 루프에서 수행하여 타이밍 복원 입력 신호의 주파수 차가 매우 큰 경우에도 타이밍 복원을 가능하게 할 수 있는 심볼율 변별기(Symbol Rate Discriminator SRD) 와 이를 사용한 타이밍 복원루프 구조를 제안 하였으며 이를 통해 심볼율이 가변되는 신호에 대한 타이밍 동기 획득이 가능함을 모의실험을 통해 입증하였다.

We compared two typical ensemble time scale algorithms; AT1 and Kalman filter. Four commercial atomic clocks composed of two hydrogen masers and two cesium atomic clocks provided measurement data to the algorithms. The allocation of relative weights to the clocks is important to generate a stable ensemble time. A 30 day-average-weight model, which was obtained from the average Allan variance of each clock, was applied to the AT1 algorithm. For the reduced Kalman filter (Kred) algorithm, we gave the same weights to the two hydrogen masers. We also compared the frequency stabilities of the outcome from the algorithms when the frequency offsets and/or the frequency drift offsets estimated by the algorithms were corrected or not corrected by the KRISS-made primary frequency standard, KRISS-F1. We found that the Kred algorithm is more effective to generate a stable ensemble time scale in the long-term, and the algorithm also generates much enhanced short-term stability when the frequency offset is used for the calculation of the Allan deviation instead of the phase offset.

In this paper a low power Spreading Code Authentication (SCA) sequence with a BPSK(1) modulation at a frequency offset of +7.161 MHz is tested for authentication purposes, the Galileo E1OS is used as base signal. The tested signals comprise a Galileo constellation with 5 satellites including the Galileo OS Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA) and a low power offset BPSK (OBPSK(7,1)) as SCA component. The signals are generated with the software based MuSNAT-Signal-Generator. The generated signals were transmitted Over-The-Air (OTA) using a Software-Defined-Radio (SDR) as pseudolite. With a real-environment-testbed the performance of the SCA in real channel conditions (fading and multipath) was tested. A new SCA evaluation scheme is proposed and was implemented. Under real channel conditions we derive experimental threshold values for the new SCA evaluation scheme which allow a robust authentication. A Security Code Estimation and Replay (SCER) spoofing attack was mimicked on the real-environment-testbed and analyzed with the SCA evaluation scheme. It was shown that the usage of an OBPSK is feasible as an authentication method and can be used in combination with the OSNMA to improve the authentication robustness against Security SCER attacks.

This article presents techniques for improved estimation of symbol timing offset (STO) and carrier frequency offset (CFO) for dual-polarization (DP) orthogonal frequency division multiplex (DP-OFDM) systems. Recently, quaternion multiple-input multiple-output OFDM has been proposed for high spectral efficiency communication systems, which can flexibly explore different types of diversities such as space, time, frequency, and polarization. This article focuses on synchronization techniques for DP-OFDM systems using a cyclic prefix, where the application of quaternion algebra leads to new improved estimators. Simulations performed for DP system methods show faster reduction of STO estimator variance with a double-slope line in the logvariance line versus signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) plot compared with singlepolarization (SP) counterparts, and simulations for CFO estimates show a 3-dB gain of DP over SP estimates for same SNR values defined, respectively, for quaternion-valued or complex-valued signals. Cramer-Rao bounds for STO and CFO are derived for the synchronization methods, correlating with the observed gains of DP over SP OFDM systems.

In this paper we describe the design of symbol timing and carrier synchronization algorithms for burst receiver. The demodulator consists of digital down converter, matched filter and synchronization circuits. For symbol timing recovery we use modified Gardner algorithm. And we use decision directed method for carrier phase recovery. For the sake of performance analysis, we compare simulation results with the board implemented by FPGA which is APEX20KE series chip for Alter. The performance results show it works quite well up to the condition that a frequency offset equal to 0.1% of symbol rate.

In the vehicle communication system, transferred information is needed to be detected as possible as fast in order to inform car status located in front and rear side. Through the moving vehicle information, we can avoid the crash caused by sudden break of front one or acquire to real time traffic data to check the detour road. To be connecting the wireless communication between the vehicles, fast timing synchronization can be a key factor. Finding out the sync point fast is able to have more marginal time to compensate the distorted signals caused by channel variance. Thus, we introduce the combination method which helps find out the start of frame quickly. It is executed by auto-correlation and cross-correlation simultaneously using only short preambles. With taking the absolute value at the implemented synch block output, the proposed method shows much better system performance to us.

In this paper, we described the timing-offset comparison results between various daily jump compensation methods for GPS carrier phase (CP) measurement data. For the performance comparison, we used about 70 days GPS measurement data obtained from two GPS geodetic receivers which share the reference 1 PPS and RF signals and closely located in each other within a few meters. From the experiment results, the followings were observed. First, daily jumps existed in CP measurements depend on not only the environment but also the receiver which will make a full compensation be very hard or impossible. Second, clock bias can be occurred in the case of using a simple compensation with accumulation of daily jumps but it could be used in a short-period frequency comparison campaign (less than about 7 days) despite of its drawback.

OFDMA 방식은 다중 사용자가 서로 다른 부반송파를 통해 동시에 신호를 전송하는 방식으로서, 주파수 효율이 높고, 간단한 단일 탭 등화기로 고속 전송 시 급격히 증가하는 인접 서브캐리어 간 간섭의 보상이 가능하며, FFT를 사용하여 고속으로 구현할 수 있기 때문에 최근 고속 데이터 무선 통신을 위한 전송방식으로 사용되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 OFDMA 시스템의 장점은 부반송파간의 직교성이 유지되는 경우에만 가능하며, 직교성이 깨지는 경우에는 인접 채널 간섭이 발생되어, 시스템 성능을 저하시키게 된다. 따라서 OFDM 시스템에서는 주파수 및 시간 동기의 중요성이 크게 강조된다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 동기 성능을 위하여 802.16d/e 및 WiBro 시스템에서 사용되는 프리앰블을 분석하여 기존에 사용되던 방식에 비해 정확도가 높은 Timing Metric 을 유도함으로써 보다 확실한 시간 동기 알고리즘을 제안하고, 시간영역에서 소수배 주파수 옵셋 추정만이 가능한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 정수배 주파수 옵셋 추정이 가능한 주파수 동기화 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 시간 및 주파수 동기 알고리즘을 적용한 시스템의 모의실험을 통하여 OFDMA 시스템에서의 인접 채널 간 간섭에 의한 성능 열화가 저하됨을 알 수 있다.
