Abstract

This paper proposes a novel code tracking scheme to track the fine code synchronization for BOC(pn,n) modulated spreading signals. The correlation function of BOC(pn,n) modulated spreading signals has been several peaks. In this paper, we observe that the correlation function in the advanced offset region remains almost unchanged, due to the multipath signals being received later than a line-of-sight signal. Based on this observation, we propose a novel code tracking scheme which is called the advanced region correlation (ARC) method for BOC(n,n) modulated spreading signals. And, we compare with the code tracking accuracy between the conventional and proposed methods in the static multipath and land mobile satellite system channels through the Monte-Carlo simulation. Then, base on the proposed scheme, we propose the generalized-ARC (ARC) scheme for BOC(pn, n) modulated spreading signals.

본 논문에서는 이진천이반송파 (binary offset carrier, BOC) 변조된 확산신호의 부호동기추적에 적합한 기법을 제안한다. 이진천이반송파 변조된 확산신호의 상관함수는 정확한 상관옵셋에서 나타나는 주첨두와 여러 부첨두를 갖고 있다. 다중 경로 채널환경에서 가시신호에 비해 다중경로신호는 항상 지연되어 수신되기 때문에 여러 부침두 가운데 정확한 상관옵셋보다 이른 상관옵셋 영역에 있는 상관함수는 늦은 상관옵셋영역에 있는 상관함수에 비해 덜 왜곡된다. 본 논문에서는 이 특징을 활용해 BOC(n,n) 변조된 확산신호의 부호추적에 적합한 이른영역상관(advanced region correlation, ARC) 기법을 제안한다. 그리고 모의실험을 통해 안정된 다중경로 (static multipath) 채널과 지상이동체위성시스템 (land mobile satellite system) 채널에서 기존과 제안한 기법의 부호동기 추적성능을 비교한다. 또한 BOC(pn,n) 변조된 확산신호에 적합한 이른영역상관 기법의 확장 형태인 일반화된 이른영역상관기법 (generalized-ARC, G-ARC) 제안하고, 모의실험을 통해 그 성능을 보인다.
