ATSC DTV system uses FPLL block for acquiring the frequency synchronization. Because the FPLL uses only the pilot signal, the frequency convergence range becomes narrower and it takes a more time to acquire the frequency synchronization as the pilot is distorted. And the spectrum shape around the pilot makes an asymmetric convergence range between the positive frequency offset and the negative frequency offset. This paper proposes the algorithm that requires the Installation of the fitters at the both edges of a VSB spectrum and uses the signal power that passes these filters. The proposed algorithm complements the problems of the asymmetric convergence range and overcomes the performance degradation due to the distortion of a pilot level.

In this paper, the frequency monitoring system for the small AC generator having two or more generator is designed and implemented to synchronize a voltage, phase and frequency for stable power supply. CT sensor is used to measure the amount of current flowing in the power line, and PT sensor is used to measure the amount of voltage across the power line. The experimental results show that the power frequency can be measured using the power frequency monitoring system developed in this paper. The frequency monitoring system proposed in this paper will be able to control the power generation system using two or more small generator efficiently.

Clock Synchronization is one of the most basic factors to be considered when we implement an indoor synchronization network for indoor positioning. In this paper, we present a new synchronization algorithm which does not employ time stamps in order to reduce the hardware complexity and data overhead. In addition to that, we describe an algorithm that is designed to compensate the frequency drift giving an serious impact on the synchronization performance. The performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm is achieved by investigating MTIE (Maximum Time Interval Error) values through simulations. In the simulations, the frequency drift values of the practical oscillators are used. From the simulation results, it is investigated that we can achieve the synchronization performance under 10 ns when we use 1 second synchronization interval with 1 ns resolution and TCXOs (Tmperature Compensated Cristal Oscillators) both in the master clock and the slave clock.

본 논문은 차등 위상 편이 변조(DPSK) 시스템에서 파일럿 없이 주파수 추정하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 주파수 동기오차 추정 방식은 파일럿을 사용하지 않고 DPSK 변조 방식에서 연속되는 신호의 차등 위상신호를 전송하는 특성을 사용하는 블라인드 기법이다. DPSK 신호의 위상 차분은 주파수 오차 추정을 실행 할 때 페이즈를 증가시켜 왜곡으로 작용하게 되는데, 본 논문에서는 간단한 상관기와 제곱기로 이러한 특성을 제거하여 주파수 추정 성능을 증가 시킨다. 알고리즘의 검증은 수식과 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션으로 수행한다.

In OFDM-based Full Duplex Relays (FDR) with Decode and Forward (DF) scheme, an interference cancellation technique in the frequency domain is more efficient than the one in the time domain. However, an Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) and Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) may occur due to the timing mismatch between the feedback interference signal and the desired signal from Base Station (BS) when the feedback interference cancellation and demodulation are performed in the frequency domain. In this paper, the effects of timing mismatch on the synchronous type and asynchronous type of OFDM-based FDR are analyzed for uplink and downlink cases. Then, synchronization procedure and methods for reducing ISI and ICI in OFDM-based FDR with frequency-domain feedback interference canceller are proposed and verified by computer simulation.

In this paper, we propose the algorithm to reduce guard time of UWB MAC time slot for throughput gain. In the proposed draft by multiband ofdm alliance (MBOA), Guard time of each medium access slot (MAS) is composed of shortest inter-frame space (SIFS) and MaxDrift which is the time caused by maximum frequency offset among devices. In this paper, to reduceguard time means that we nearly eliminate MaxDrift term from guard time. Each device of a piconet computes relative frequency offset from the device initiating piconet using periodically consecutive transferred beacon frames. Each device add or subtract the calculated relative frequency offset to the estimated each MAS starting point in order to synchronize with calculated MAS starting point of the device initiating piconet. According to verification of simulations, if the frequency offset estimator is implemented with 8 decimal bit, the ratio of the wasted time to Superframe is always less than 0.0001.

A doppler shift is generated by moving a transmitter or receiver operated in communication systems. The doppler frequency shift between a transmitter and a receiver or the frequency offset present in transceivers must be removed to get the wanted system performance. FTS is used for preventing an accident from operating abnormally and for guaranteeing public protection. A launching vehicle's initial velocity is very fast in order to escape the earth and the amount of doppler shift is large. Recently many studies to adopt the next generation FTS are ongoing. To introduce new FTS, the effects of doppler shift on the performance of the new FTS must be studied. In this paper the doppler effect caused by launching vehicle's velocity affecting the performance of FTS receiver is investigated into two cases, one is for EFTS as a digital FTS and the other is for FTS using a tone signal. Noncoherent DPSK and noncoherent CPFSK are considered as the modulation methods of EFTS. In the cases of the doppler frequency shift of 200Hz present in EFTS using noncoherent DPSK and noncoherent CPFSK are simulated. Simulation results show that $E_b/N_o$ of 0.5dB deteriorates in the region of near BER of about $10^{-5}$ in RS coding. And there is no performance variation in $E_b/N_o$ or $E_b/N_o$ is worsened about 0.1dB in the same BER region for the case of using convolutional and BCH coding. Quadrature detector used in FTS using tone signals is not influenced by the doppler frequency shift.

본문에서 주파수hopping과 이동통신에서 요구되는 고속 주파수 전환이 가능한 새로운 주파수 신시사이저 (Synthesizer)를 제안한다. 종래의 PLL 주파수 신시사이저는 기준 주파수와 출력의 채널 주파수 간격이 동일하기 때문에 기준 주파수를 낮게 하면 매우 긴 동기 시간이 소요된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 주파수 신시사이저는 새로운 제어 방법을 이용한 다단 펄스 제거 회로를 사용하여 기준 주파수와 채널 간격 주파수를 독립적으로 설정할 수 있기 때문에 종래의 신시사이저와 동일한 채널 간격의 주파수를 유지시키면서 기준 주파수를 높일 수 있고, 또한 루프(loop)이득을 크게 할 수 있다. 따라서 종래의 주파수 신시사이저보다 주파수 절환시간을 크게 단축할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 주파수 절환시간을 1/100 정도 단축시킬 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.

In the paper, the product-type PLL system, which is so suitable for synchronizing a single phase grid voltage is designed. The PLL system is modelled with the small signal analysis. Both the cut-off frequency of low pass filter and the optimal gain are derived by considering the transient response for synchronization as well as a distortion of synchronization signal. Through the simulation studies and experimental results, the transient response and ripple component of synchronization signal are investigated with a variation of both the cut-off frequency and gain in order to verify the performance of design.

Three synchronization issues, i.e., symbol time, phase, and frequency, have to be properly controlled to achieve distributed beamforming gain. In this paper, the impacts of synchronization errors in distributed beamforming are analyzed for OFDM systems. For symbol timing error of cooperating signals, high frequency subcarriers are more susceptible as compared to low frequency ones. The desired signal loss due to phase and frequency offset is independent of subcarrier number. However, frequency offset is critical in OFDM systems since it leads to interference from the other subcarriers as well as power loss in the desired signal. Performance degradation due to three synchronization errors is shown with various numbers of cooperating signals and offset values. It shows that the performance analysis is well matched with simulation results.
