Abstract

The SOQPSK-TG is a modulated signal for aeronautical telemetry with a very good bandwidth efficiency. In this paper, the frequency waveform filter of the SOQPSK-TG is linearly approximated and modeled with a duobinary precoder and a modified frequency waveform filter having a phase transition period of about 1Tb. In combination with the existing precoder, the SOQPSK-TG is modeled by a double duobinary MSK. Comparing the SOQPSK-TG signal and the newly modeled double duobinary MSK signal in time domain and frequency domain, it is confirmed that the two signals are almost identical and there is virtually no performance difference. Moreover, we can attain 0.1 dB BER performance improvement compared to the existing cosine filter when the filter of the IQ-detector is implemented with a cosine sum filter taking into account the change in the modulation index by the new double doubinary precoder.

SOQPSK-TG는 대역폭 효율이 매우 우수한 항공기 텔레메트리용 변조신호이다. 본 논문에서는 SOQPSK-TG 변조방식의 주파수 파형 필터를 선형 근사하여 듀오바이너리 프리코더와 약 1Tb 구간의 위상천이 구간을 갖는 수정 주파수 파형 필터로 모델링하였다. 그리고 기존의 프리코더와 결합하여 이중 듀오바이너리 MSK로 SOQPSK-TG를 모델링하였다. SOQPSK-TG 신호와 새롭게 모델링한 이중 듀오바이너리 MSK 신호를 시간 영역, 주파수 영역에서 비교하여, 두 신호가 거의 일치하고 실질적인 성능 차이가 없음을 확인하였다. 또한 새로 모델링한 이중 듀오바이너리 프리코더에 의한 변조지수 변화를 고려하여 IQ-검출기의 검출 필터를 코사인 합 필터로 구현하였을 때 기존 코사인 필터 대비 약 0.1 dB 수신성능이 개선됨을 확인하였다.
