In this paper, a high speed code synchronization circuit is proposed. for fast code synchronization, matched filler method is used for initial code acquisition with two channel correlators. Particular frequency patterns of the limited number having the information about PN code start time are composed and transmitted repeatedly to increase the probability of accurate initial synchronization. And digital frequency synthesizer is proposed. And it's performance is analyzed theoretically. The analysis show that fast frequency hopping is possible in frequency hopping system that use digital frequency synthesizer.

In frequency hopping spread spectrum(FHSS) communication systems, exact frequency synchronization is required due to the random hopping of carrier frequencies between transmitter and receiver even under harsh channel conditions. For synchronization of FHSS communications, multi-frequency hopping synchronization(MFHS) method has been used in which a small set of frequencies are repeatedly sent several times for long duration. But this long duration resulted in being easily detected by the unauthorized users as well as long duration of acquisition time. In this paper, motivated by these problems, an adaptive synchronization method(ASM) is proposed. ASM is technics to reduce the synchronization time where the number of synchronization frequencies and repetition numbers is adaptively changed (increased or decreased) according to the channel conditions. The performance analysis showed that the time duration of synchronization was reduced to 0.2sec, and the influence of jamming or interference was decreased to 46% in ASM.

This paper presents an automatic frequency control algorithm for RTLS DS-SS modem based on the standard of ISO/IEC 24730-2. The presented automatic frequency control algorithm consists of frequency acquisition mode and frequency tracking mode, and the frequency acquisition mode is divided into the angle estimation step for frequency offset estimation and the verification step for removing the angle ambiguity. In the angle estimation step, three different sub-bit angles are estimated according to the timing intervals, then the estimates are used to re move the angle ambiguity in the verification step. The theoretical analysis and the simulation results of the proposed frequency control algorithm are presented.

In this paper, we studied the frequency hopping(FH) performance on the FH radio communication system via M&S of initial synchronization architecture. It is difficult to test the synchronization performance on the real FH communication environment. Thus, we have modeled the synchronization system similar to the real radio communication structure, and simulated the optimum correlation value and the synchronization performance on AWGN channel. As the result, we could obtain the thresholds of correlation synchronization and the FH synchronization performance under the low SNR.

OFDM을 이용한 통신 시스템에서 주파수 옵셋은 부채널 간의 간섭을 유발하고, 수신 신호의 진폭과 위상을 왜곡시키며, 프레임 옵셋은 수신 신호의 위상을 변화시킨다. 본 논문에서는 2개의 첩 신호(chirp signal)를 이용하여 주파수 옵셋 추정 및 프레임 동기가 동시에 가능한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 방안은 프레임 동기를 위하여 1개의 첩 신호를 이용하는 Hazy 방안보다 주파수 옵셋이 발생할 경우 프레임 동기 성능을 훨씬 개선하였고, 동기에 주파수 옵셋 추정도 가능하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안한 알고리즘의 성능을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes an efficient frequency and symbol synchronization structure which could solve problems of the conventional methods to implement DVB-T receive modem which adopted OFDM transmission method. The main considerations of frequency synchronization algorithms are that the frequency tracking performance is not stable enough, and lots of symbols are required, especially when the decimal part of normalized frequency offset (which original frequency offset is divided by the subcarrier spacing) is around $\pm$0.5 to solve these problems, we propose an efficient frequency offset is divided by the subcarrier spacing) is around $\pm$0.5 by using the average of coarse synchronization over several symbol. Also, we suggest a new symbol synchronization structure which is easy to implement without performance degradation in multipath fading channel with only coarse symbol synchronization by making window offset to the range of guard interval in contrast to the conventional structure of dividing symbol synchronization in fine and coarse mode during synchronization. By extensive simulation, we have shown the superiority of the proposed schemes.

In this paper, we propose a receiver structure for frequency synchronization in OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) system which is considered as 3GPP LTE(Long Term Evolution) downlink. In general, OFDMA frequency synchronization consists of two parts: coarse synchronization and fine synchronization. We consider P-SCH (Primary-Synchronization Channel) and CP (Cyclic Prefix) of OFDMA symbol for coarse synchronization and fine synchronization, respectively. The P-SCH signal has two remarkable disadvantages that it does not have sufficiently many sub-carriers and its differential correlation characteristic is not good due to ZC (Zadoff Chu) sequence-specific property. Hence, conventional frequency synchronization algorithms cannot obtain satisfactory performance gain. In this paper, we propose a modified differential correlation algorithm to improve performance of the coarse frequency synchronization. Also, we introduce an effective PLL (Phase Locked Loop) structure to guarantee stable performance of the fine frequency synchronization. Simulation results verify that the proposed algorithm has superior performance to the conventional algorithms and the 2nd-order PLL is effective to track the fine frequency offset even in high mobility.
