A timing signal board which can be used to analyze EA effect for coherent radar systems is introduced. It is capable of generating the timing signals that are needed for EA test about radar systems in real time. Its function to generate baseband target signal makes it easy to analyze EA effect. Because all parameters of timing signals can be changed by software, it is very easy to configure many kinds of test scenarios.

In this paper, we propose the measurement techniques of mixed waveform. Mixed waveform has phase-continuous periodic waveform with fixed frequency signal and Linear Frequency Modulation(LFM) signal. This waveform is generated from a compact radar transmitter with frequency synthesizer and high power amplifier. Frequency synthesizer generates various signal waveform with continuos phase and high power amplifier amplify transmitting signal. First, we describe a compact radar transmitter with the phase-continuos signal and then verify the distortion characteristic of pulse compression by the mismatch of LFM waveform. Second, we describe three kinds of measurement techniques for measuring LFM waveform. These techniques include methods using signal analyzer, signal source analyzer and new methods using RF mixer and phase shifter. Finally, we verify the accuracy of the measurement technique from the pulse compression result of receiving signal.

In this paper, an ultra small phase locked loop (PLL) with a single capacitor loop filter has been proposed by adding a signal sensing circuit (SSC). In order to extremely reduce the size of the PLL, the passive element loop filter, which occupies the largest area, is designed with a very small single capacitor (2pF). The proposed PLL is designed to operate stably by the output of the internal negative feedback loop including the SSC acting as a negative feedback to the output of the single capacitor loop filter of the external negative feedback loop. The SSC that detects the PLL output signal change reduces the excess phase shift of the PLL output frequency by adjusting the capacitance charge of the loop filter. Although the proposed structure has a capacitor that is 1/78 smaller than that of the existing structure, the jitter size differs by about 10%. The PLL is designed using a 1.8V 180nm CMOS process and the Spice simulation results show that it works stably.

Phase coherent modulation techniques in underwater acoustic channel can improve bandwidth efficiency and data reliability, but they are made difficult by time-varying intersymbol interference. This paper proposes an adaptive equalizer combined with phase estimator which compensates distortions caused by time-varying multipath and phase variation. The experiment in the East sea demonstrates phase coherent signals are distorted by time-varying multipath propagation and the proposed scheme equalizes them. Bit error rate of BPSK and QPSK are 0.0078 and 0.0376 at 300 meter horizontal distance and 0.0146 and 0.0293 at 1000 meter respectively.

MRI 스캔시 화상평면내에서 촬상대상물체의 회전은 MRI 신호에 위상오차와 불균일 표본화를 일으킨다. MRI 신호의 위상오차와 불균일 표본화에 대한 문제의 모델은 화상평면내 임의 중심과 원점에 관한 회전운동에 의해 열화된 MRI 신호들사이에 위상차가 존재함을 나타낸다. 이에 아티팩트가 포함된 MR 화상의 화질을 개선하기위해서 다음과 같은 방법을 제안한다. 우선, 2차원 회전운동의 회전각은 이미 알려져 있고, 회전중심의 위치가 미지인 경우에 대해 위상보정에 기초한 아티팩트를 보정하는 알고리즘과, 다음으로, 회전중심과 각도가 모두 미지인 2차원 회전운동에 대해 아티팩트를 보정하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이때, 미지 운동 파라메타를 예측하기위해 촬상대상물체의 경계바깥쪽에서 이상적인 MR 화상의 에너지는 최소가 되고, 촬상대상물체의 회전이 존재할 때 측정된 에너지는 증가한다는 성질을 이용한다. 이러한 성질을 이용해서 각 위상부호화 단계에서 미지의 회전각 크기를 추정하기위한 평가함수가 도입된다. 최종적으로 시뮬레이션 화상 및 실제화상에 적용해서 제안한 본 방법의 유효성을 확인한다.

We proposed a hopping phase estimator to demodulate the received signals without any hopping information in frequency hopping spread spectrum systems. The demodulation process in this paper is as follows: hopped frequency tracking is accomplished by choosing a frequency component with maximum amplitude after taking discrete Fourier transform and a hopping frequency estimator which estimates the phase generated by hopped frequency is established through difference product and down-sampling. We obtained the probability density function and variance performance of the proposed estimator and confirmed that the analysis and the simulation results were agreed with each other.

본 연구에서는 마이크로폰 어레이를 이용하여 화자의 음성신호로부터 화자의 위치를 추정하는 기존의 대표적인 알고리듬인 CPSP(Cross Power Spectrum Phase)로부터 보다 반향에 강인한 알고리듬인 저주파 위상 복원 알고리듬을 제안한다. CPSP 함수는 상호 상관관계(Cross Correlation)가 정규화 되어있는 형태를 갖는데, CPSP 함수의 최대 값 인덱스로부터 화자의 공간정보인 TDOA(Time Difference Of Arrival)를 추출한다. 그러나 CPSP 함수를 이용한 공간정보 추정 알고리듬은 실내환경에서 심각하게 일어나는 반향신호에 대해서 취약한 단점을 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 저주파 위상복원 알고리듬은 주파수 측면에서 반향신호가 CPSP 함수에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 반향으로 인하여 왜곡된 위상 성분을 복원함으로써 보다 신뢰도 있는 TDOA 추정을 가능하게 한다. 반향신호로 인한 CPSP의 위상은 저주파보다 고주파에서 심하게 왜곡되는데, 각각의 반향신호의 도달 시간을 기하학적 분포를 갖는 확률변수로 모델링하여 이를 수학적으로 증명하였다. 또한 실제 환경에서 채집한 음성신호를 이용한 모의 실험을 통해 개선된 알고리듬의 성능 개선을 확인하였다.

In this paper amplitude and phase distortion of the received signal through a fading channel results in a severe performance degradation of the communication system, Therefore we consider the variance of the maximum a posteriori phase estimate of sinusoidal signal by the Cramer-Rao bound in wireless fading channel. To find the Cramer-Rao lower bound for the variance of the phase, We use the derived probability density function(pdf) of the phase in Nakagami fading channel. We analyze the error performance of modulation signals using order statistics on generalized combining reception and find adequate diversity branch number.

Recently, HSRC (Half-Symbol-Rate-Carrier) OQPSK (Offset Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) signaling which reduces the bandwidth of transmitted signal for high-speed data communications has been introduced. Since the signal is based on QPSK modulation, it also has the characteristics of QPSK signal. This paper introduces architectures of the transceiver using differential coding to resolve the 4-phase ambiguity problem of the HSRC-QOPSK signaling for high-speed data communications. In addition, this paper proves the functionality of the transceiver with differential coding and shows the BER (bit-error-rate) performance of the transceiver by simulations.

In this paper, we design local signals to remove side-peaks in the binary offset carrier (BOC) autocorrelation. Specifically, we first investigate why local signals of the conventional schemes are applicable to either sine or cosine-phased BOC signals, and then, design local signals applicable to both sine and cosine-phased BOC signals. Finally, we obtain two partial correlations and propose a correlation function with no side-peak via a combination of the partial correlations. From numerical results, we demonstrate that the designed local signals are applicable to both sine and cosine-phased BOC signals and can remove side-peaks completely.
