In this paper, a design method of multi-tone signals for the measurement of adjacent-channel power-ratios on power amplifiers is suggested. Because most tests for power amplifiers in production are performed with single-tone signals, its testing accuracy is not guaranteed as the signal complexity increases. Therefore, the application of multi-tone signals to the testing is suggested by optimized complex coefficients of each tones for the best statistical similarity to the original modulated signal. From the verification, a 802.11a signal was replaced with a multi-tone signal of N=10, with the complex coefficients generated by the suggested method. The resulting measurements on the ACLR of 2.4 GHz power amplifier showed successful accuracy of less than 1 dB discrepancy.

Radio signal tracking has been developed especially in military as well as in other industries. It is necessary that an adaptive system trace the signal varying its PRI and frequency. In this paper we proposed a system to adapt various PRI and frequency using a neural network model named Error Back Propagation. Fist we prepared learning data by separating signal into time intervals and did some experiments with the teaming data. We found that the system had good effectiveness in tracing varying PRI and frequency signals.

A new BIST(Built-In Self-Test) scheme to test ADC(Analog-to-Digital Converter) with a transition detector is proposed. The proposed BIST is able to replaces histogram method, the most popular approach in static testing of ADC. With a ramp signal as an input test stimulus, the proposed BIST calculates ADC's static parameters such as offset, gain, INL(Integral Non-Linearity) and DNL(Differential Non-Linearity). The three detectors in the proposed BIST can deal with a transient zone problem, a phenomenon due to random noise in real test environments and are cost efficient at various acceptable ranges determined as a test spec. The simulation results validate that our method performs accurate static test and show the reduction of the hardware overhead.

항법분야에 있어서 위성항법시스템의 다양한 오차를 제거한 정밀한 위치 정보를 이용하여 이동체에 활용하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 실제 환경에서 이동체를 이용한 항법실험을 수행하기 전 실제 환경과 유사한 가상의 실시간 테스트베드를 구축하여 알고리즘 테스트 및 검증 실험을 수행하려 한다. 이를 위해 이동체의 운동을 시뮬레이션하는 운동궤적제어시스템과 실제의 항법신호를 시뮬레이션하는 GNSS 시뮬레이터 사이의 시각동기화는 실시간 시뮬레이션을 구현하기 위해 필수적으로 요구된다. 동기화 되지 않은 시각정보는 이동체 운동궤적제어시스템에 의해 생성된 실제의 궤적과 GNSS 시물레이터로부터 생성된 궤적사이의 오차를 유발하여 항법수신기의 부정확한 항법신호를 유발한다. 이 연구는 GNSS 시뮬레이터를 이용한 실시간 테스트베드의 구축에 있어 필요한 이동체 운동궤적의 시각동기화 기술 개발을 목표로 한다. GNSS 시뮬레이터는 Spirent 사의 GPS 시뮬레이터가 사용되었다. 이동체의 위치, 속도, 가속도와 같은 움직임을 나타내는 운동에 관한 명령은 적용되어야 하는 정확한 시각이 함께 전송되므로, 이는 그 시각 이전에 GPS 시뮬레이터에 도달해야 한다. 따라서 1초(1 Hz) 또는 0.1초(10 Hz) 사이에 원격제어시스템과 GPS 시뮬레이터사이의 시각 동기화를 구현하였다. 시뮬레이터와의 시각정보 동기화를 위해 Amplicon사의 PCI-215 타이머카드를 이용하였고, 그 결과, 이동체 운동궤적제어시스템과 시뮬레이터의 시각정보를 $10^{-3}$ 내의 위치오차를 가지는 정밀도로 동기화됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose a new overlap and add speech synthesis method which demonstrates improved continuity performance. The proposed method uses a weighted phase error function and minimizes the wave discontinuity of the synthesis signal, rather than the phase discontinuity, to estimate the mid-point phase. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves the continuity between the synthesized signals relative to the existing method.

This paper proposes a windowing method to reduce noise effect and bit synchronization error caused by tolerance of a tag-response signal for ISO/IEC 18000-6 type-B readers. A tag response signal has very weak power because of a back-scattering modulation scheme and thus may be sensitive to noise. In addition, bit tolerance admitted in a tag response signal requires robust timing synchronization because it affects readers' detection performance. To reduce the two undesirable effects in a tag signal, we acquire bit transition position by using variable windows from over-sampled data, and average whole data in one bit duration. With a hardware system adopting the proposed method, we tested and verified its performance.

Conventional RF signal-based indoor localization techniques such as BLE or Wi-Fi based fingerprinting method show considerable localization errors even in small-scale indoor environments due to unstable received signal strength(RSS) of RF signals. Therefore, it is difficult to apply the existing RF-based fingerprinting techniques to large-scale indoor environments such as airports and department stores. In this paper, instead of RF signal we use the geomagnetic sensor signal for indoor localization, whose signal strength is more stable than RF RSS. Although similar geomagnetic field values exist in indoor space, an object movement would experience a unique sequence of the geomagnetic field signals as the movement continues. We use a deep neural network model called the recurrent neural network (RNN), which is effective in recognizing time-varying sequences of sensor data, to track the user's location and movement path. To evaluate the performance of the proposed geomagnetic field based indoor positioning system (IPS), we constructed a magnetic field map for a campus testbed of about $94m{\times}26$ dimension and trained RNN using various potential movement paths and their location data extracted from the magnetic field map. By adjusting various hyperparameters, we could achieve an average localization error of 1.20 meters in the testbed.

This parer proposed the path mismatch detection and compensation algorithm with closed form for linear amplification with non-linear components(LINC) system implementation. The LINC system has a merit of using the high efficient amplifier by transferring the non-constant envelop signal which is high peak to average signal ratio into constant envelop signal. However, the performance degradation is very sensitive to the path mismatch such as an amplitude mismatch and a phase mismatch. In order to improve the path mismatch, the error detection and compensation method is introduced by the use of four test signals. Since the presented method has the closed form solution, the efficient and fast detection is available. The digital-IF structure of LINC system applied by the proposed error detection and compensation algorithm was implemented. The performance was evaluated with the IEEE 802.16 WiMAX baseband sinal which has 7 MHz channel bandwidth and 16-QAM. The Error Vector Magnitude(EVM) of -37.37 dB was obtained through performance test, which meets performance requirement of -24 dB EVM. As a result, the introduced error detection and compensation method was verified to improve the LINC system performance.
