Abstract

In this paper, ${\pi}/4$-DQPSK modem according to ITU-R M.1842-1 recommendation Annex1 is investigated and simulated. At first, standardization and technical trend of VHF maritime mobile communication are introduced. The ${\pi}/4$-DQPSK modem defined in the Annex1 should support 28.8Kbps bit transmission rate within 25KHz frequency bandwidth. We describe the system model and simulation process of ${\pi}/4$-DQPSK modem transmitter and receiver design with RRC(Root Raised Cosine) transmitter and receiver filter. Then we suggest various graphical simulation results(time domain signals, constellation, power spectral density according to roll-off factor, eye diagram), and show simulated BER performance of the modem. From the simulation results, it is shown that roll-off factor of RRC filter affects to BER performance according to SNR and the designed simulation model meets the spectrum mask requirement suggested in ITU-R M.1842-1 recommendation.

본 논문에서는 ITU-R M.1842-1 표준 권고안 Annex1에 따르는 ${\pi}/4$-DQPSK 모뎀에 대해 분석하고 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 우선 VHF 대역의 해상 이동통신에 대한 표준 및 기술동향을 소개하였다. Annex1에 제시된 ${\pi}/4$-DQPSK 모뎀은 25KHz의 대역폭에서 28.8Kbps 비트전송률을 제공하도록 제시되어 있다. 송수신기에서 RRC필터를 채용하는 ${\pi}/4$-DQPSK 모뎀의 시뮬레이션 프로세스에 대해 설명하고, 다양한 시뮬레이션 결과(시간영영 신호파형, 성좌도, 롤오프 팩터에 따른 전력스펙트럼밀도, Eye 다이어그램)들과 모뎀의 BER 성능을 제시하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과로부터, RRC 필터의 롤오프 팩터에 의해서 SNR에 따른 BER 성능에 미치는 영향이 다름을 확인하였고, 설계한 시뮬레이션 모델이 ITU-R M.1842-1 권고안에 제시된 스펙트럼 마스크 요구사항을 만족함을 알 수 있었다.
