In this paper, we propose a correlation function using newly designed local signals for cosine-phased binary offset carrier (BOC) signal tracking. First, we divide a sub-carrier pulse over one pseudo random noise code period into multiple rectangular pulses, and subsequently, design novel local signals. Then, we obtain a correlation function with no side-peak based on a combination of correlations between the newly generated local signals and received cosine-phased BOC signal. From numerical results, it is confirmed that the proposed correlation function provides a tracking performance improvement over the conventional correlation functions in terms of the tracking error standard deviation.

본 연구에서는 화자의 음성신호를 이용하여 추출된 공간정보를 통해 화자의 위치를 실시간으로 추적하는 시스템을 제안하고 실시간 구현하였다. 기존의 대표적인 화자 위치 추출 알고리듬인 CPSP(Cross Power Spectrum Phase)는 실내환경에서 심각하게 일어나는 반향신호에 취약한 단점을 갖고 있으므로 구현된 시스템에서는 위치 추적 성능 개선을 위하여 반향신호에 강인한 hybrid window 알고리듬을 제안하여 적용하였다. Hybrid window 알고리듬은 실내 환경에 적합한 hybrid window를 설계하여 수신된 음성신호에 적용함으로써 반향신호에 의한 상호 상관관계를 줄이고 직접 경로에 의한 신호들의 상관관계를 높임으로써 보다 정확한 시간 지연 추정을 가능하게 한다. 제안된 시스템의 성능분석을 위해 DSP를 이용해 실시간 구현된 하드웨어를 이용해 기존의 CPSP 알고리듬과 제안된 hybrid window를 적용한 시스템을 실제 환경에서의 실험하였고 제안한 알고리듬을 적용한 시스템이 $22\%$ 이상 성공적으로 화자의 위치를 추적하였다.

The target such as aircraft operates flares to protect itself from the missile. In general, Infra-red(IR) flares that are hot bodies radiating energy considerably greater than it does, so cause the missile to guide the flare instead of the target. For a precise target tracking in spite of a presence of flares, therefore, the seeker should discriminate the target signal from various clutters including the flare and the background. In this paper, we simulated 2-color rosette scan seeker using IR and UV(UltraViolet) bands. In each wave band, we analyzed the radiant distributions of the target, the flare, and background. These results showed that a simultaneous process in two bands can detect precisely the target.

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.

Position determination accuracy is strongly depending on how much precisely and frequently satellite receiver measures transmitted signals from terminals on target animals when Doppler effect is applied for position determination. ARGOS satellite system has shown relatively high position determination accuracy by operating multiple satellites, which enable operator to get more Doppler shift data from terminals. In case of animal tracking mission with single satellite, however, it is difficult for the satellite receiver to receive transmitted signals from terminals frequently during short period that satellite passes over ground terminals. This is one of the main sources to decrease position accuracy on target animals. In this paper, the Doppler rate estimation is implemented to increase the number of Doppler shift data received by single satellite. It is proved that the relatively high position determination accuracy with increased number of estimated data can be obtained. We also suggest that the Doppler rate estimation is applicable for position determination system with single satellite.

In this study, the tracking of the temporal variation of the frequency and the amplitude in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise is considered using the Extended Kalman filter (EKF. The EKF has many applications and it has been applied to the problem of tracking the time-variable frequency. However the existing EKF frequency trackers could was driven in the small time-variable amplitude or required the additional amplitude tracker in the large time-variable amplitude. In this study, the EKF frequency-amplitude tracker, which could track both frequency and amplitude simultaneously from the measured signal in the relatively large time-variable amplitude environment, is proposed for improving the performance of the time-variable frequency tracking and its performance is verified by the simulation and the experimental work.

In this paper we propose a new two-color signal processing algorithm for efficient target tracking under complicated condition including interfernces such as background noises and countermeasures. For the efficient target tracking, we adopt two detection bands, and define the ratio between two band signals which represents the spectral distribution characteristics of a target or interference. The proposed algorithm detects the ratio of interference, and extracts only the target signal from the target and the interference mixed signal by using it. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we apply it to a rosette tracker and perform various simulations. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm extracts the target signal from the mixed signal well. The proposed algorithm is also ready to be applied to a real system since it is simple and adaptive for environment change.

In this paper, we analyzed linkbudget with comparing actual received level of telemetry system at Palau Tracking Station. Because Palau Tracking Station participated in the launch mission for the first time and lack of verification tests for antenna tracking and signal reception performance, we analyzed the linkbudget more accurately by predicting transmit antenna polarization gain according to the trajectory and attitude of launch vehicle. The analysis results were used to analyze signal reception range, antenna operation angle and LHCP/RHCP received level. The actual received level of the antenna was similar to the linkbudget result as a result of the launch mission operation.

In this paper, we propose a performance enhancement method of the target tracking system for communication signal using the monopulse and the ${\alpha}{\beta}$ filter to keep the connection of the communication system between the airplane and the ground. We suggest the minimum distance measurement method for tracking error angle of the monopulse signal instead of the generally used method of MR(Monopulse Ratio) curve, and the ${\alpha}{\beta}$ filter with variable gain for enhancement of the tracking accuracy and the probability of re-tracking the monopulse signal under the disconnection of link. We show the performance enhancement of the proposed method of monopulse system using the measured MR Curve results of the prototype system. And also, the comparison of simulation results between the ${\alpha}{\beta}$ filter with variable gain and the ${\alpha}{\beta}$ filter with fixed gain shows the performance enhancement of the proposed ${\alpha}{\beta}$ filter. Using the proposed methods, we expect the enhanced performance of the existing target tracking system for communication signal only by changing the algorithm without hardware changes.

본 논문은 특징 가중치 벡터를 적용하여 능동형태 모델(Active Shape Model)기반에서 눈동자의 움직임 추적 속도를 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. 일반적인 능동형태 모델에서는 객체 추적을 위한 PDM 구성을 위해 각 특징점 구성 벡터의 유클리디안 거리의 최소 값으로 Training Set정렬 과정을 수행한다. 이 과정에서 적절하지 못한 샘플 영상으로 인해 안정된 PDM을 구성하지 못하는 문제점이 발생한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에 서는 형태를 구성하는 특징점마다 가중치를 부여하는 벡터를 작성하고, 최소자승근사법으로 최유사 특징점 벡터를 산출하기 위한 선형방정식을 구상하였다. 이로 인해 안정된 PDM을 구성할 수 있었으며, 눈동자 추적실험을 통해 형태적 움직임을 보정하는 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 기존의 능동형태 모델에 비해 반복연산의 횟수가 줄어들고, 다양한 형태로 나타나는 눈동자의 움직임 추적에 보다 안정적인 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
