Spread Spectrum Communication is a core technique in CDMA system, but the problem for SS Communication schemes is synchronous method. There are DLL, Tau-dither, SO etc, in the synchronous method. But since there are analog operations, the settling is difficult and size is large. In this paper we realized Digital Delay Lock Loop (DDLL) and estimated it's performance through the Power line experiment.

We have proposed an objective evaluation method using ESNR as the measure of approximation by the visual model, which coincides with MOS, a subjective evaluation method. For two-value images, we have used five kinds of modulation methods: 1) ordered dither, 2) least mean error, 3) pulse density low division, 4) simple two-value, and 5) random dither methods. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the validity of ESNR, by comparing the proposed method together with the existing representative methods such as PSNR and WSNR, with the subjective method MOS. The results of a series of experiments show that the ranking by MOS coincides with ESNR, though does not coincides with PSNR and WSNR.

Spatial dithering techniques are the method of rendering the illusion of continuous-tone pictures on displays that are capable of producing only binary picture elements. In this paper, we propose a new dithering algorithm which diffuses error into nearby pixels symmetrically. This method complements the artifacts of the error diffusion dither for the graphic images and the short-comings of the ordered dither that can't display some intensity level. We applied this method to graphic images and obtained results that complement the short-comings of conventional method.

Gyroscope's deadzone is a region where can not detect the rate even though the actual rotation is applied. This paper analyzed the cause of deadzone by modeling/simulation and introduced pulse dithering method to overcome. From the testing of 3-axis fiber optic gyro system using 900m fiber, it confirmed deadzone could be effectively eliminated by combination of three factors, dither amplitude, dither frequency, and gyro loop gain.

RLG(Ring Laser Gyroscope) is a main device of LINS(Laser Inertial Navigation System). RLG has the lock-in region in which there is no output signal. To alleviate the lock-in problem, a mechanical oscillation, the dither motion, is applied on RLG. A LPF(Low Pass Filter) is usually used on the output of RLG and accelerometer to remove the noise that is made by the dither motion. When the LINS is induced the disturbance during the initial alignment, it takes more time on alignment due to the use of the LPF and a fixed gain controller. In this paper, an initial alignment using UKF(Unscented Kalman Filter) is designed and analysed. Analysis include comparison between conventional initial alignment loop using fixed gain type controller and proposed initial alignment using UKF. Moreover, Disturbance inducing test results are demonstrated.

The amplitude error of phase modulator used in closed-loop fiber optic gyroscope has occurred by the temperature dependency of the electro-optic coefficient, and also can be due to the square-wave dither signal which is generally applied for eliminating the deadzone. This error can cause bias drift and scale factor error. This paper analyzes the temperature dependency of the modulation amplitude and the relationship with the scale factor of the gyroscope, and deals with an amplitude control method. The error calculation logic considering the dither signal is implemented on the signal processing module. The result of experiments from a prototype gyroscope shows the effect of the modulation amplitude control and a considerable improvement on performances.

Generally, the sinusoidal cavity dither is adopted to ring laser gyroscope for eliminating the lock-in which is non-linear effect at the small rotation input. Despite this method, there are some remained errors which are generated at the dither turnaround, and those errors produce random walk which is a general character of a ring laser gyroscope. As one of the numerous research results for compensating these errors, there is a special lock-in compensation method which is the method of error estimation and compensation by comparing the beat signal periods of before and after the dither turnarounds. In this paper, by ring laser gyroscope modeling and numerical analysis, we verified the theoretical validity and confirmed the effectiveness of this method in expectation of the possible beat signal measurement time resolution. As a result, we confirmed the random walk decreases from a-half to a-third by this lock-in compensation method. So, it is expected to be a remarkable method for reducing the INS alignment time.

In this paper, we propose the new method to decrease the navigation error by measurement time synchronization error in RLG Trapping signal processing. There are two methods to eliminate the dither motion in RLG. One is the stripping signal processing method. Another is the trapping signal processing method. This two methods have various error sources in measurement output. We perform the error modelling and analysis for the measurement time synchronization error between angular rate from RLG and acceleration from accelerometer in the trapping signal processing method. And we verify the navigation performance through simulation and experiment. Results of simulation and experiment show that the proposed method is very effective in decreasing the navigation error.

This paper proposes the 2nd-order SDSDM (Space Dithered Sigma-Delta Modulation) for performance improvement of a buck converter. The PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) has a drawback in that power spectrum tends to be concentrated around the switching frequency. The resulting harmonic spikes cause a EMI(Electromagnetic Interference) and switching loss in semiconductor, etc. The 1st-order SDSDM scheme is a kind of DSDM for reducing these harmonic spikes. In this scheme, a switching frequency is spread through random dither generator placed on input part. In experimental result, the proposed 2nd-order SDSDM is confirmed by applying to a buck converter.
