The OFDM system has better characteristics in transmission rate, power efficiency, bandwidth efficiency, impulse-noise immunity, and narrow band interference immunity etc. in comparison with other conventional systems. However, high PAPR of an OFDM signals causes some serious non-linear processing of RF amplifier. And performance of the communication system gets worse. Therefore, various methods reducing PAPR of an OFDM skills such as the clipping method, block coding method, and phase rotation method etc. have been researched. In this paper, we propose a high-speed adaptive PTS method which eliminates high PAPR. And we compare the proposed method with other conventional methods. The proposed method has decreased quantity of calculation compare with an adaptive PTS method. Of course, The more its calculation amount is decreased, the more its BER characteristic is not better than an adaptive PTS method. However, keeping up satisfactory BER performance, we highly improved calculation amount of a PTS method.

본 연구는 기초기술연구회의 위성정보 활용 지원 운영사업(과제명: 위성영상을 이용한 하천정보 생산 및 활용에 관한 연구)의 연구비 지원에 의해 수행되었습니다. 지난 2010년 6월 발사된 천리안 위성이 약 9개월간의 정지궤도 시험운행을 마치고 본격적으로 위성자료 서비스를 시작함에 따라 한반도 악기상 관측 및 예측 정확도 향상에 기여할 것으로 예상된다. 최근 기후분야 외에도 수자원, 방재, 농업, 해양 등 다양한 응용분야에서 기상위성을 활용하고자 하는 연구가 수행되고 있으며 자료제공 시간의 단축과 기상자료 산출물의 제공으로 천리안 위성은 향후 광범위하게 활용 될 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구는 천리안 위성의 수자원 분야 활용을 위한 기반연구로 천리안 위성과 동일한 채널 특성을 보유한 MTSAT-1R 기상위성을 이용하여 면적강우량을 추정하고 이를 지상관측소를 이용하는 강우보정기법에 적용하며 강우산정 결과를 레이더 및 티센, 크리깅 등과 비교하였다. 강우추정은 NOAA NESDIS의 Power-law 공식을 이용하였으며 지상관측소를 이용한 강우보정은 조건부 합성기법을 적용하였다. 연구대상 유역은 충주댐 유역과 충주댐 유역 상류에 위치한 영월수위표 지점 상류유역을 대상으로 하였으며 레이더 차폐에 따른 레이더 강우량의 감쇄 효과를 분석하고 지형적 특성에 영향 받지 않는 기상위성을 이용한 강우량 산정 기법의 활용성을 제시하였다. 연구결과 레이더 차폐에 영향 받지 않는 영월 수위표 상류유역의 경우 레이더를 이용한 강우량 산정결과와 기상위성을 이용한 결과가 큰 차이가 없으나 전체 유역면적의 절반 정도가 레이더 차폐 지역에 포함되는 충주댐 유역의 경우 레이더를 이용할 경우 20%~35% 가량 강우량이 과소 추정되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 토대로 산악지형에 의해 레이더 차폐가 발생되는 유역에 대해 기상위성의 활용을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

FCC of U.S. permitted usage of unlicensed system on unused spectrum in TV white space after DTV transition. The unlicensed systems are required to avoid harmful interference to licensed users by employing geo-location database and spectrum sensing. The conventional spectrum sensing algorithms for ATSC signal were focused on detection of pilot signal. However, they can not guarantee detection of ATSC signal when pilot signal is attenuated by channel environment such as fading. To overcome drawbacks of conventional schemes, in this paper, we propose a signal detection and data fusion algorithm using cyclo-stationary feature weighted by signal energy. Simulation results verify that the proposed algorithm can provide 2dB SNR gain for 90% detection probability compare with the conventional scheme. We can reduce quiet period for spectrum sensing and improve signal detection probability by employing the proposed algorithm.

NiZn-ferrites were synthesized from the waste catalysts. which were by product of styrene monomer process and buried underground as an industrial wastes, and their magnetic properties were investigated. Nickel oxide and zinc oxide powders were mixed with finely ground waste catalysts, and spinel type ferrite was obtained by calcination at 900℃ and sintering at 1325℃ for 5 hours. The initial permeabilities were measured and reflection losses were calculated from S-parameters for the composition of Ni/sub x/Zn/sub 1-x/Fe₂O₄(x=0.36, 0.50, 0.66) and (Ni/sub 0.5/Zn/sub 0.5)/sub 1-y/Fe/sub 2+y/O₄(y=-0.02, 0, 0.02).

Source consislency filtering (SCF) is very effective at removing nOIse when only one or a few leads among multi-lead ECG signals are contaminated. When the noise at one or only a few leads are statistically uncorrelated with signals at other leads, SCF seleclIvely removes the noise with a neglIgIble amount of distortion in the original signal waveform. In order to enhance the understanding of this new method, we describe the lheory and implementational details of SCF in this paper. Numerical implementation and test results of SCF on a multi-lead ECG dalabase show that SCF is a new kind of adaptive filters utilizmg spatial as well as temporal information in multi-c.hannel signals origmatmg from a single source. We also describe the limitations and future improvements in using SCF.

We investigate the OFDM-based wireless LAN systems operating in the 60 GHz frequency band as part of the fourth-generation (4G) systems. The 60 GHz band is of much interest since this is the band in which a massive amount of spectral space has been allocated worldwide for dense wireless local communications. This paper gives an overview of 60 GHz bandchannel characteristics and an effect on phase noise. The performance of OFDM system is severely degraded by the local oscillator phase noise, which causes both common phase error and inter-carrier interference. In this paper, we apply phase noise suppression (PNS) algorithm that is easy for implementation to OFDM based 60 GHz wireless LAM system and analyze the SER performance. In case of using the PNS algorithm, SER performance is improved about 6dB, 7.5dB, respectively in 16, 64-QAM.

In this paper, we introduce a novel model to analyze the linearity of a TW-EAM (traveling-wave electroabsorption modulator). The device length, microwave loss (ML), and internal reflection (IR) due to impedance mismatch have effect on the linearity of a TW-EAM. The longer devices have characteristics of lower biases with minimum IMDS (intermodulation distortions). ML decreases the output power as well as the IMD value. Internal reflection has different nonlinear characteristics according to the wavelength of the input frequency and the device length. There is little change in SFDR (spurious-free dynamic range) due to ML or IR. As a result, for a 50 GHz band RF-optical communication system, a 0.8 mm-long TW-EAM with the lowest ML would have better properties by using n, which is caused by impedance, mismatch at the output port.

A RF limiter is a component to protect the receiver front end from undesired signal. A RF limiter is a key component whose output is constant level for all inputs above a critical value. A RF limiter use a diode to pass signals of low power while attenuating those above some threshold. A RF limiter for receiver protection in modern radar systems is playing a vital role in order to meet challenges of new interference threats and complicated electromagnetic environments. This paper proposed a new circuit for high power RF limiter whose structure is the combination of the PIN diode and Limit diode. PIN diode take a use of its isolation characteristics which act as a switch does. A 2 kW RF limiter with 200 us pulse width at S-band was developed. It shows good agreements between estimated value and measured results.
