In this paper, we described the timing-offset comparison results between various daily jump compensation methods for GPS carrier phase (CP) measurement data. For the performance comparison, we used about 70 days GPS measurement data obtained from two GPS geodetic receivers which share the reference 1 PPS and RF signals and closely located in each other within a few meters. From the experiment results, the followings were observed. First, daily jumps existed in CP measurements depend on not only the environment but also the receiver which will make a full compensation be very hard or impossible. Second, clock bias can be occurred in the case of using a simple compensation with accumulation of daily jumps but it could be used in a short-period frequency comparison campaign (less than about 7 days) despite of its drawback.

This paper presents the design of a QPSK/16-QAM downstreams receiver chip. The proposed chip consists of a blind equalizer, a timing recovery block and a carrier recovery block. The blind equalizer uses a DFE sturucture using CMA(Constant Module Algorithm). The symbol timing recovery uses the modified parabolic interpolator. The decision-directed carrier recovery is used to remove the carrier frequency offset, phase offset and phase jitter. The implemented LMDS receiver can support four data rates, 10, 20, 30 and 40 Mbps and can accommodate the symbol rate up to 10 Mbaud. This symbol rate is faster than existing QAM receivers.

In this paper, a recursive intercarrier interference (ICI) cancellation technique for cooperative space-time block coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (STBC-OFDM) with different carrier frequency offsets (CFOs) is proposed. Also, different CFOs existing in a cooperative STBC-OFDM system is shown to produce phase difference in the received signal, causing noise enhancement effect in the STBC decoding process. The performance degradation caused by the noise enhancement effect can be effectively reduced by a proposed ML-based recursive ICI cancellation technique. It is shown by computer simulation that the proposed recursive ICI cancellation technique is effective in reducing ICI, especially for STBC-OFDM systems with a large FFT size and large CFOs.

In this paper, we proposed and implemented a quality measurement algorithm for IS-95 reverse-link signal. To measure the quality of the received signal, equalization, carrier frequency/phase offset estimation, and timing synchronization are essential. And, all signal processing are carried out with baseband signal. The equalizer works with 4-oversampled samples to remove ICI(InterChip Interference). The frequency/phase offset estimator is followed by timing synchronizer since it can work without aid of data and timing information. As the number of interpolation in timing synchronization increases, the measurement accuracy improves, but computation load increases simultaneously. Therefore, one need to choose adequately the number of interpolation regarding to the platform performance to be used for the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we propose mitigation techniques using time-domain shortening filter (TSF) and frequency-domain shortening filter (FSF) to overcome inter-block interference (IBn and inter-carrier interference (ICn due to the time difference of arrival (TDoA) and carrier frequency offset (CFO) between downlink and uplink signals from access point (AP) and subscriber station (SS) in synchronous digital duplexing (SDD)/orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems for indoor wireless communication. The proposed TSF and FSF maximize SIR for shortening in time (SIRST) and SINR for shortening in frequency (SINRSF), respectively, by using channel impulse responses and timing information among stations, obtained from mutual ranging procedure. It is verified by computer simulation that the proposed TSF and FSF reduce effectively the effects of IBI and ICI in the SDD/OFDMA systems.

Photomixing techniques beating two optical signals with different wavelengths and strong correlations are also very useful techniques to make a continuous wave(CW) signals in the range of millimeter(mm) and terahertz(THz) frequencies. An optical double sideband-suppressed carrier(DSB-SC) technique is one of the popular techniques to generate two optical signals with different wavelengths and strong correlations. DSB-SC signals with strong correlations are generated by a CW modulation of an optical carrier with a local oscillator and an optical modulator. In the previous parers related the DSB-SC for producing the CW signals within the range of mm and THz frequencies, there have been no reports why the optical carrier should suppress. In order to clear that, we have analyzed and measured the characteristics of the mm-wave CW signals made by the DSB-SC photomixing in this paper. From our analysis and measurement results, compared with the case of the DSB with the maximized optical carrier, the power and phase noise have improved about 23.9 dB and 21 dBc/Hz(@ 1 MHz offset frequency) in the case of the DSB with the minimized optical carrier (that is to say, the DSB-SC). Consequently, it is evident reason that the optical carrier should sufficiently suppress to obtain the mm-wave CW signals with the high power and low noise. This paper has given very helpful data to make mm- and THz-wave CW signals using photomixing techniques with the DSB-SC because the reason why the optical carrier should be suppressed is reported in this paper based on the numerical and experimental results.

In this paper, a 120 GHz local oscillator(LO) for the sub-harmonic mixer in the THz transceiver with a carrier frequency of 240 GHz was designed and fabricated. A 120 GHz local oscillator was composed of 40 GHz PLL(Phase Locked Loop), 40 GHz BPF(Band Pass Filter), frequency tripler and 120 GHz BPF. The commercial model of the frequency tripler was used. The measured result of the 40 GHz PLL showed the phase noise of -105 dBc/Hz at the 100 kHz offset frequency. The measured result of 120 GHz BPF showed the insertion loss of 1.3 dB at center frequency of 119 GHz with bandwidth of 5 GHz. The output power of 120 GHz LO was measured to 6.6 dBm.

A signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) enhancement algorithm using multiple chirp symbols with clock drift is proposed for accurate ranging. Improvement of the ranging performance can be achieved by using the multiple chirp symbols according to Cramer-Rao lower bound; however, distortion caused by clock drift is inevitable practically. The distortion induced by the clock drift is approximated as a linear phase term, caused by carrier frequency offset, sampling time offset, and symbol time offset. SNR of the averaged chirp symbol obtained from the proposed algorithm based on the phase derotation and the symbol averaging is enhanced. Hence, the ranging performance is improved. The mathematical analysis of the SNR enhancement agrees with the simulations.

In this paper, the Bit Error Ratio (BER) performances of the D8PSK modulation schemes for VDL Mode-2 are analyzed according to the matched and unmatched cases of the channel filters. The carrier frequency and phase offset effects are analyzed with unmatched case. Generally in digital transmission techniques, the Root Raised Cosine filters which are used as channel filters are applied to both sides at transmitter and receiver in order to achieve no ISI, but in VDL Mode-2, the Raised Cosine Filter is used only in transmission section and the receiver section uses general low pass filter, therefore we could not achieve ISI reduction effects but can have better spectrum quality. From the simulation results, the error probability is increased slightly (1~2dB) with use of un-matched channel filter, we got the conclusions that carrier phase offset do not effect to bit error ratio, but the frequency offset effect is so serious. Finally, narrow band D8PSK modulation signals are generated by the use of Digital Up-Converter and then its features are compared with analog modulator.

Cognitive radio (CR) systems have received significant interest as a promising solution to the spectral shortage problem through efficient use of the frequency spectrum by opportunistically exploiting unlicensed frequency bands. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is widely regarded as a highly promising candidate for CR systems. However, the frequency bands used by CR systems are expected to suffer from non-Gaussian noise, which considerably degrades the performance of the conventional OFDM carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation schemes. In this paper, robust CFO estimation schemes for OFDM-based CR systems in non-Gaussian channels are proposed. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed estimators offer robustness and substantial performance improvement over the conventional estimator.
