가스절연개폐장치(Gas-Insulated Switchgear, GIS) 내부에서 발생하는 부분방전(Partial Discharge, PD) 신호는 1ns이하의 상승시간(rising time)을 가지므로, 이 신호를 효과적으로 측정하기 위해서는 초광대역(Ultra Wide Band, UWB)특성을 갖는 커플러가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 UWB 특성을 구현하기 위해, 대수주기 톱니형 평면 안테나(log-periodic toothed planar antenna)와 등각 스파이럴 패치안테나(equi-angular spiral patch antenna)형태의 두 가지 초광대역 UHF 커플러를 설계 제작하였다. 제작한 커플러들의 특성을 파악하기 위해 안테나의 급전부에, 자체 설계한 매칭 회로인 발룬(balun, balance to unbalance)을 장착하여, 반사계수, 모의펄스에 의한 검출신호, 스펙트럼 둥을 측정하였다.

수십 센티미터 이내의 오차를 만족시키는 거리/위치판별 기능 및 저속 데이터 송수신 기능 구현을 주목적으로 발족된 저속 무선 개인영역 네트워크(LR-WPAN: Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Network)의 표준인 IEEE802.15.4a는 간단하고 경제적이며 전력 소모가 적은 송수신기 구조를 요구한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 PEWB(Parallel Energy Window Banks)를 이용한 독창적인 비동기(noncoherent) OOK(On-Off Keying) UWB(Ultra-Wide Band) 송수신기 구조를 제안한다. 또한 무선 다중경로 채널상황을 다소 극복할 수 있는 펄스와 비트 반복 기법을 사용한다. 제안된 송수신기의 잡음 특성 분석을 위해 chi-square 분포가 사용되며, 반복적 계산을 통해 얻어진 임계값을 적용하여 BER(Bit Error Rate) 성능을 분석한다.

IEEE 802.15.4a의 UWB(ultra-wide band) 방식에서 PHY(physical layer) 시스템에 사용되는 FEC(forward error correction)는 RS(Reed-Solomon) 조직적(systematic) 블록 부호와 1/2의 부호율을 가진 조직적 길쌈 부호의 연접 형태로 이루어져 있다.[1] UWB 신호를 이용한 시스템은 연속적이지 않은 임펄스(impulse) 기반의 신호를 사용하기 때문에 정밀도 면에서 뛰어난 장점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE P802.15.4a 표준에 명시되어 있는 FEC를 구현하여 AWG(adaptive white gaussian noise) 채널에서의 SNR(signal to noise ratio)에 따른 BER(bit error rate)을 구함으로써 성능을 분석하였다. 실험에서의 정확한 결과를 얻기 위해 15.4a의 UWB에서의 변조 방식에 따라 신호를 변조한 후 잡음을 삽입하여 결과를 도출하였다.

In this paper, a conflict-avoided resource reservation scheme for UWB (Ultra Wide Band) WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network) with D-MAC (Distributed Medium Access Control) is proposed. Since distributed characteristic of the WiMedia D-MAC supporting DRP (Distributed Reservation Protocol) scheme may cause lots of conflicts, overall performances of the WiMedia D-MAC can be deteriorated. In addition, once a DRP conflict occurs, only one of the DRP reservations involved in that DRP conflict maintains the reserved MASs, while the other DRP reservation must be terminated and DRP negotiations for them have to be re-started. Such DRP termination and renegotiation time delays due to the DRP conflicts can be a critical problem to the mobile devices transceiving real-time QoS traffic streams. Therefore, we propose a mechanism to avoid DRP conflicts by providing a kind of path diversity using relay transmission scheme and demonstrate its performance improvements via simulation results.

In conventional Ultra Wide Band(UWB) system, it uses Pulse Positioning Modulation Method to modulate data signal. In this paper, however, we derive power spectral density characteristic of time hopped antipodal signal using stochastic process. UWB signal employes Gaussian monopulse and Rayleigh monopulse which pulse width is 0.5 nsec and interval is 5 nsec. But comb line which produces unintentionally could be evidently reduced by the time hopped code, so this code be used to channelize for multiple access and minimize to different communication system.

We studied the partial discharge detecting by sensing electromagnetic pulse emitted from the partial discharge source in the stator winding of HV Rotating Machine with UWB sensor. In this study, we designed new type of compact low frequency UWB sensor based on micro-strip technology and made experiments of offline dismantled testing compare with the traditional HFCT as a reference sensor in the laboratory. We investigated internal discharge, surface discharge, corona discharge and non-defected state normal stator on pre-made stator winding by using UWB patch sensor.

This paper investigates the link margin of MB-OFDM UWB system quantitatively. Various simulations are performed considering the implementation loss by imperfect synchronization unit and the effect of multi-path fading channels. MB-OFDM UWB system uses ZP(Zero Padding) instead of CP(Cyclic Prefix) and supports two transmission modes; one is TFI(Time Frequency Interleaving) mode that transmits OFDM symbols using different carrier frequency from symbol to symbol according to Time Frequency(TF) codes, the other is FFI(Fixed Frequency Interleaving) mode that transmits OFDM symbols using a specific carrier frequency. The advantage of if and TFI is to be able to increase the transmitting power effectively compared to the existed OFDM systems that transmit the signal continuously at the same average transmitting power. From the analysis results of Ink margin, to guarantee the service range of 4m in 200Mbps mode, TFI mode must necessarily be implemented and the service range of 480Mbps mode is estimated about 1-2m in the line-of-sight multi-path channel (CMI).

In this paper, we propose the algorithm to reduce guard time of UWB MAC time slot for throughput gain. In the proposed draft by multiband ofdm alliance (MBOA), Guard time of each medium access slot (MAS) is composed of shortest inter-frame space (SIFS) and MaxDrift which is the time caused by maximum frequency offset among devices. In this paper, to reduceguard time means that we nearly eliminate MaxDrift term from guard time. Each device of a piconet computes relative frequency offset from the device initiating piconet using periodically consecutive transferred beacon frames. Each device add or subtract the calculated relative frequency offset to the estimated each MAS starting point in order to synchronize with calculated MAS starting point of the device initiating piconet. According to verification of simulations, if the frequency offset estimator is implemented with 8 decimal bit, the ratio of the wasted time to Superframe is always less than 0.0001.

Symbol timing error amounts to a major degradation in the system performance. Conventionally, timing error is estimated by predefined preamble on both transmitter and receiver. The maximum of the correlation result is considered the start of the OFDM symbol. Problem arises when the prime path is not the strongest one. In this paper, we propose a new combined time and channel estimation method for multi-band OFDM ultra wide-band (MB-OFDM UWB) systems. It is assumed that a coarse timing has been obtained at a stage before the proposed scheme. Based on the coarse timing, search interval is set (or time candidates). Exploiting channel statistics that are assumed to be known by the receiver, we derive a maximum a posteriori estimate (MAP) of the channel impulse response. Based on this estimate, we discern for the timing error. Timing estimation performance is compared with the least squares (LS) channel estimate in terms of mean squared error (MSE). It is shown that the proposed timing scheme is lower in MSE than the LS method.
