This study is to explore the causes for weak signal areas and suggest solutions for the problem of weak signal areas through the experiments for location error of satellite navigation system depending on the characteristics of locations. For kinematic point positioning, a moving object can have different number of satellite navigation systems available depending on its location. It has to receive location data from at least four satellite navigation systems for precise point positioning. However, drastic urbanization and poor surroundings have caused greater location error and weak signal areas. To reduce location error and remove the occurrence of weak signal areas, it is necessary to verify the characteristics of metropolitan surroundings. Therefore, experiments were conducted to measure location error and discover the causes for the occurrence of weak signal areas in metropolitan area, residential area, woods, ocean area, and open ground. In addition, this study suggests a point positioning algorithm with high precision suitable for local surroundings and an algorithm to remove weak signal areas.

A new linearization technique for RF high-power amplifiers(HPAs) using n-th order error signal generator (ESGn) is proposed. The n-th order ESG generates an error signal based on the complex envelope transfer characteristics of the HPA, which is combined at the output of the HPA. Therefore, the higher-order nonlinearlities are not affected by the ESG$\_$n/ and the stability of the linearized system is guaranteed due to the inherent open-loop configuration. Moreover, the output delay loss can be avoided, because the error signal is generated with the input signal of the HPA. The IMD(intermodulation distortion) improvement obtained applying the ESG$\_$7/ to 5 W class A HPA in cellular band demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed postdistortion system.

The process of transmitting messages through a medium with a limited bandwidth or channel dispersion inevitably involves signal distortion and noise influxes, resulting in the degradation of transmission quality due to the inter-symbol interference and additional noise, which increases the error rate of the received symbols. The main role of the equalizer is to remove the channel distortion and noise from the received signal to recover the transmitted messages. A number of studies on the equalizer composed of a combination of linear filter and error control coding have shown that they played a key role in enhancing the transmission efficiency, which is essential for digital communication. This paper proposes a new algorithm to correct the residual symbol errors in the message signal. In general, equalizer performance improvement algorithms were developed to improve the initial convergence speed or steady-state error. In this paper, however, the equalizer input signal was reconstructed using the equalizer decision symbols and the channel estimates to directly correct the decision errors by analyzing the statistical characteristics of the difference signal between the actual received signal and the reconstructed signal.

This paper compare the performance of CM-MMA (Constellation Matching-MMA) and RMMA (Region-based MMA) blind equalization algorithm for improve the QoS by minimizing the intersymbol interference that is occurred in nonlinear communication channel when transmitting the QAM signal. In the tap coefficient update for adaptive, CM-MMA use the error of nonconstant modulus signal adding the current MMA cost fuction and constellation matching error terms of sinusoidal power function, and the RMMA use the error by transfoms the nonconstant modulus signal of equalizer output constellation to 4-QAM constant modulus signal. They has different equalization performance by these error signal, it were compared in this paper by simulation, and performance index such as output signal constellation of equalizer, residual isi, maximum distortion, SER curves are applied for this. As a result of computer simulation, the RMMA has more better performance in the every performance index, convergence speed, residual value, noise robustness compared to CM-MMA.

The EMG signal can be considered as a signal source that expresses the intention of man because it is a electrical signal generated when the man contracts muscles. For proportional control of prostheses, the control signal proportional to the mousle contraction level must be estimated. Typically a foul-wave rectifier and low-pass filter are used to estimate the proportional control signal from the EMG signal. In this paper, it is proposed to use a logarithmic transformation and a linear minimum mean square error estimator. A logarithmic transformation maps the myoelectric signal into an additive control signal-plus-noise domain and the Kalman filter is used to estimate the control signal as a linear minimum mean square error estimator. The performance of this estimator is verified by the computer simulation and the estimator is applied to the EMG obtained from the biceps brachii muscle of normal subjects.

This paper deals with the finite wordlength effect on the performance of digital PID controllers. The finite wordlength, one of the major limitation factors in digital controllers, results on two kinds of quantization error : the signal quantization error and the coefficient quantization error. This paper derives the variance of the plant output due to the signal quantization error. Using stability margins as performance criterion, the statistical wordlength concept is adopted for coefficient wordlength selection. Finally, the experimental results exhibit satisfactory performance of the digital PID controller with statistical coefficient wordlength.

In this paper, we have analyzed the block error probability of orthogonal multicarrier 16 QAM signal in a frequency selective Rician fading environment. The block error probability is evaluated with several parameters such as normalized propagation delay $(\gamma/T_S),$, bit energy to noise power ratio $(E_b/N_0),$ and desired signal to undesired signal power ratio (DUR) in fast fading and slow fading channels. In the fast fading channel, The result shows that the block error probability rather in the fast fading channel achieves better performance than in the slow fading channel, when the error correction capability is one or two.

Wireless channel exists interference by multipath a component. Adaptation array antenna that remove this interference a component forms null point about interference signal and maximizes gains about target signal. If target signal and correlative coherent interference signal are received, there is problem that is removed from arrangement output to target signal.

We propose an algorithm to update weight to use the mean square error method and mutual coupling matrix in a coherent channel. The algorithm proposed in this paper estimates the desired signal by using the updated weight. The updated weight is obtained by covariance matrix using mean square error and mutual coupling matrix. The MUSIC algorithm, which is direction of arrival estimation method, is mostly used in the desired signal estimation. The MUSIC algorithm has a good resolution because it uses subspace techniques. The proposed method estimates the desired signal by updating the weights using the mutual coupling matrix and mean square error method. Through simulation, we analyze the performance by comparing the classical MUSIC and the proposed algorithm in a coherent channel. In this case of the coherent channel for estimating at the three targets (-10o, 0o, 10o), the proposed algorithm estimates all the three targets (-10o, 0o, 10o). But the classical MUSIC algorithm estimates only one target (x, x, 10o). The simulation results indicate that the proposed method is superior to the classical MUSIC algorithm for desired signal estimation.
