In this paper, we propose an algorithm to improve the precision of initial carrier-frequency offset estimation for multiband-OFDM (MB-OFDM) UWB system which is considering the quantization-noise effect. In the general OFDM system, the two adjacent and repeated preamble symbols are used for the initial carrier-frequency synchronization while the performance of the frequency-offset estimation is bounded by quantization effect generated from analog-to-digital conversion at the receiver. This paper proposes a method in which one-symbol interval between two adjacent preamble symbols for the initial frequency synchronization is extended to multiple-symbol interval between non-adjacent symbols in an extent that phase ambiguity does not occur. In this paper, we also present '6' as optimal multiple symbol interval for the MB-OFDM system with 30 preamble symbols on 3-band hopping and with 4-bit A/D conversion at the receiver. Under the channel environments for the MB-OFDM UWB system, the simulation results show that the proposed estimation algorithm can achieve the initial estimation in offset precision less than 5 ppm.

The passive ranging estimation techniques using a focused beamformer have been studied under the water. It is well known that the passive ranging estimation method using a focused beamformer is excellently evaluated. Among these, the passive ranging sonar is known to have a good performance under low signal-to-noise. ratio. However, its performance is degraded in multi-source environments. In this paper, we proposed the technique using dual focused beamformers to estimate the range. And when the sampling frequency is low, it is very difficult to steer the focused beam to the desired direction, as a result of this, the low performance occurs because of a distorted beam pattern. In this paper, we study the effect of sampling rate on passive ranging by using focused beamformer. And we verified the performance of the proposed method via computer simulation.

The clock frequency difference of sensor nodes is one of main parameters in TOF estimation and affect to degrade ranging algorithms to estimate positions of mobile nodes in wireless sensor networks. The specification of IEEE802.15.4a describes asynchronous TWR and SDS-TWR insensitive to frequency difference without any additional network synchronization. But the TWR and SDS-TWR can not eliminate sufficiently the effect of frequency difference of node pair, packet processing delay and its difference. Especially use of low cost oscillator with wide range offset, sensor node with different hardware and software can make the positioning errors worse. We propose an estimation method of frequency differences, and apply the measured frequency differences to TWR and SDS-TWR. We evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm with simulation, and make certain that the proposed method enhances the performance of existing algorithms with positioning errors less than 25 cm.

In this paper, an $tan^{-1}$ circuit for the frequency synchronization of OFDM based IEEE 802.11a is presented. The proposed circuit consists of a divider, an $tan^{-1}$ ROM and a phase detector, which can detect frequency offset within 0.0491 rad. The circuit implemented with FPGA shows a pull-in range of under ${\pm}625KHz$ at 5dB AWGN. It may be useful for IEEE 802.11a WLAN standard.

In this paper. a new indirect feedback active noise control (ANC) scheme barred on the fundamental frequency estimation is proposed for systems with a harmonic noise. When reference signals necessary for feedforward ANC configuration are difficult to obtain, the conventional ANC algorithms for multi-tonal noise do not measure the reference signals but generate them with the estimated frequencies.$^{(4)}$ However, the beating phenomena, in which certain frequency components of the noise vanish intermittently, may make the adaptive frequency estimation difficult. The confusion in the estimated frequencies due to the beating phenomena makes the generated reference signals worthless. The proposed algorithm consists of two parts. The first part is a reference generator using the fundamental frequency estimation and the second one is the conventional feedforward control. We propose the fundamental frequency estimation algorithm using decision rules. which is insensitive to the beating phenomena. In addition, the proposed fundamental frequency estimation algorithm has good tracking capability and lower variance of frequency estimation error than that of the conventional cascade ANF method.$^{(4)}$ We are also able to control all interested modes of the noise, even which cannot be estimated by the conventional frequency estimation method because of the poor S/N ratio. We verify the performance of the proposed ANC method through simulations for the measured cabin noise of a passenger ship and the measured time-varying engine booming noise of a passenger vehicle.

본 논문에서는 속도검출기가 없는 표면부착형 영구자석 동기 전동기의 속도제어 기법을 제안한다. 표면부착형 영구자석 동기 전동기는 그 형상에 있어서는 자기적 돌극성을 가지지 않지만 기본 주파수에 비하여 높은 주파수를 가지는 전압을 전동기의 추정된 회전사의 위치와 같은 축에 인가함으로써 자속의 포화에 의한 고주파 임피던스의 차이를 관측할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이 고주파 임피던스의 차이를 이용하여 전동기회전자의 위치를 추정하고, 추정된 회전자의 위치를 이용하여 속도 및 위치 검출기가 없이도 벡터제어를 수행한다. 또한, 이 고주파 임피던스의 특성은 부하조건에 따라 변하기 때문에 추정하는 회전자의 위치가 부하조건에 따라서 왜곡된다. 본 논문에서는 회전자의 위치를 추정한 후 부하조건에 따라 회전자의 위치를 보정하는 기법도 제안한다. 마지막으로 실험을 통하여 제안된 기법의 타당성을 검증한다.

Carrier frequency offset (CFO) is one of the most important problems in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, which seriously degrades the performance of the systems due to its time-variant behavior. In this paper, the performance of a pilot-assisted fine CFO estimator in OFDM-based mobile WiMAX systems is analyzed. Analytical closed-form expression of the mean square error (MSE) of the post-FFT based CFO synchronization scheme is reported for time-variant fading channels. Taking into account the frame structure of the IEEE802.16e standard, simulation results are used to verify the theoretical analysis developed in this paper.

초음파 변환기의 정합을 위해서는 초음파 변환기의 등가회로 구성이 중요하다. 전통적인 등가회로의 경우 비교적 안정적인 등가회로를 예측하게 해 주지만 초음파변환기 구성에서 일어나는 초음파 변환기 외의 구성품 즉 Backing Material, Acoustic Window Material, Radiation Impedance 등에 의한 부가적인 효과를 모델링하는 데는 한계가 있다. 따라서 좀 더 일반적인 방법으로 초음파 변환기를 모델링하는 방법이 필요하다. 그런 방법의 하나로 주파수 영역 측정에 의한 초음파변환기 등가회로 추정법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 초음파 변환기 제작 시 많이 쓰는 임피던스 분석의 결과를 그대로 사용할 수 있고 또 그것이 없어도 일반 함수발생기와 오실로스코프만으로 측정할 수 있어서 랜덤함수를 발생시키고 이에 대한 출력을 저장해야 데이터를 얻을 수 있는 시간영역 추정법에 대해서 장점을 갖는다.
