Acoustic communication system is a transmission technology sending sound and data simultaneously. However, data signal can be audible in this system when data is transmitted with high transmission power. The more transmission power is reduced, the more distance that can transmit data is shortened. Therefore, the study that increase the transmission distance is needed. In this paper, we would like to increase transmission distance by adapting receive diversity in acoustic communication system. We measure received performance of both proposed system and Single Input Sing Output (SISO) system according to distance with same transmission power. When SISO satisfies Bit Error Rate (BER) of $7{\times}10^{-3}$ at about 2m, Selection Combining (SC) technique satisfies 2 meters, and Equal Gain Combining (EGC) technique satisfies 4 meters.

In this paper, the performance of the selective combining according to the channel selection decision method of frequency diversity is evaluated in the underwater frequency selective channel. The underwater acoustic channel in the shallow sea has a complex multipath characteristic by combining various environmental factors such as boundary surface reflection and sound wave refraction according to the water temperature layer. In particular, frequency selectivity due to multipath causes energy fluctuation in a communication channel, which reduces SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) and deteriorates communication performance. In this paper, we applied the frequency diversity technique using multiple channels to secure the communication performance according to the frequency selectivity by multipath. For each channel, 4-FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) and selective combining were applied, the performance was evaluated by applying the maximum value, average value, and majority decision of the signal in order to decide the demodulation channel selection of the selective combining.

In this paper, we present a hybrid multi-antenna technique that can minimize the outage probability by combining the diversity and beamforming techniques. The hybrid technique clusters the transmission antennas into multiple groups and exploit diversity among different groups and beamforming within each group. We analyze the performance of the resulting hybrid technique for an arbitrary correlation among the transmission antennas. Through the performance analysis, we derive a closed-form expression of the outage probability for the hybrid technique. This enables to optimize the antenna grouping for the given spatial correlation. We show through numerical results that the hybrid technique can balance the trade-offs between diversity and beamforming according to the spatial correlation and that the optimally designed hybrid technique yields a much lower outage probability than the diversity or beamforming technique does in partially correlated fading channels.

Multucarrier code-division multiple access(MC-CDMA) is one of the promising technique for high capacity wireless communication. Hower the carrier phase error and frequency offest cause the performance degradation of MC-CDMA due to the inter-carrier interference. In this work, downlink performance of the partially coherent MC-CDMA is analytically derived in Rayleigh fading channels. The bit error rate sensitivity by combining method, Maxiaml ratio combining (MRC)and Equal gain combining(EGC), is compared as functions of phase errors. multi-user interference, and received signal-to-noise ratio. The results show that the susceptibility for the performance degradation of EGc and MRC is negligible for loop SNR's of above 15 dB and above 10 dB, respectivtely.

In this paper, the bit error rate (BER) performance of the fast frequency hopping/M-ary frequency shift keying system using the clipper receiver is analyzed by using the characteristic function (CF) technique in the presence of n=1 band multitone jamming and additive white Gaussian noise environment. The CFs of the clipper receiver outputs are derived as a infinite series representation using Gamma function and Marcum's Q -function. The analytical results are validated with various simulation results. Performance comparisons with linear combining receiver are shown that the BER performance of the clipper receiver is much better than that of the linear combining receiver In addition, as the clipping level approaches to infinity, it is shown that the clipper receiver simply performs a linear combining without clipping and there exists an optimum value of diversity level (the number of hops per symbol) that maximizes the worst case BER performance of the clipper receiver.

We investigate BER (Bit Error Ratio) performance according to the gain of spatial and frequency diversities in uplink SC-FDMA of SIMO (Single Input Multiple Output) systems. The main results of the analysis in this paper are as follows. First, we prove that performance of integrated system for considering spatial and frequency diversity combining in parallel is equivalent with the performance of sequential system for performing diversity combining in sequence. By signal modeling, it is demonstrated that the performances of both systems are the same when the frequency diversity combining technique of the sequential system is equal to diversity combining technique of the integrated system, and spatial diversity combining technique of the sequential system is performed as MRC in advance of frequency diversity combining. Secondly, it is found that effect on the BER performance is different according to the gain of spatial and frequency diversities, respectively. The frequency diversity gain increases by increasing the number of subcarrier. It might affect the performance improvement of high SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) while it maintains gap between performances of ZF(Zero Forcing) and MMSE(Minimum Mean Square Error) in frequency diversity combining schemes. Also, spatial diversity gain increases as the number of receiving antennas increases. It means that it can reduce performance gap between ZF and MMSE in frequency diversity combining schemes by increasing the number of receiving antennas. In addition, it might affect the performance improvement of the whole SNR. Finally, through the analysis of performance according to the spatial diversity gain, the performance of ZF in frequency diversity combining is equal to the MMSE if the number of receiving antennas is 6 or more.

We propose a new technique for sidelobe suppression in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Sidelobe suppression is an essential technique to design OFDM based overlay system. The proposed technique is based on the combination of the multiple choice sequence (MCS) with the conventional windowing of OFDM signal in time domain. The MCS is choosing the one sequence which has lowest power in sidelobes from the produced set of sequences. The main advantage of proposed technique is that it fully utilizes the available bandwidth to transmit data. Simulation results show that by combining MCS with conventional windowing technique, the sidelobes in OFDM system can be significantly reduced

Most works on importance sampling (IS) as an efficient evaluation technique havd been done in an additibe white gaussian noise channel (Awgn). In this paper we propose a CQ(conventional importance sampling and quasi-translantion) IS technique for the mobile radio channel modeled as Rician fading, and analyze the IS estimator's variance to determine optimum IS parameters and the minimum number of run times. Reference showed that CIS technique has a poor performance for systems with meories, but it is shown that the CIS technique can be improved by combining with quasi-translation technique even for systems with memories. Here the CQ IS technique modifies the variance of additive noise and also performs quasi-translation for the fading distribution. We determine the optimum IS parameters of the proposed CQ IS estimator and whow that the simulation gains are about 10$^{3}$~10$^{6}$ for the mobile communication systems with memories in case of the expected BERs 10$^{-5}$ ~10$^{-8}$ .

In this paper, we provide an embedded type non-contact bio-radar heart and respiration rate monitoring system. We implemented the rate finding algorithm into the embedded system. The high-speed and reliable real-time signal processor is then tested. To avoid null-point data loss problem, we applied quadrature demodulation. Among several other combining techniques, we suggest arctangent demodulation for quadrature channel combining and DSP is used for real-time signal processing. We also suggest DC-offset compensation technique to preserve the wanted DC components of the IQ signals for accurate demodulation while keeping the dynamic range of the ADC lower. Using Texas Instrument C6711 series DSP and external 12Bit ADC, we implemented proper elliptic digital filter and autocorrelation detection algorithm for robust commercial hand held device.

Terrestrial LiDAR is a high precision positioning technique to monitor the behavior and change of structures and natural slopes, but it has depended on subjective hand intensive tasks for the classification(surface and vegetation or structure and vegetation) of positioning data. Thus it has a couple of problems including lower reliability of data classification and longer operation hours due to the surface characteristics of various geographical and natural features. In order to solve those problems, the investigator developed a technique of using the NDVI, which is a major index to monitor the changes on the surface(including vegetation), to categorize land covers, combining the results with the terrestrial LiDAR data, and classifying the results according to items. The application results of the developed technique show that the accuracy of convergence was 94% even though there was a problem with partial misclassification of 0.003% along the boundaries between items. The technique took less time for data processing than the old hand intensive task and improved in accuracy, thus increasing its utilization across a range of fields.
