OFDM을 이용한 통신 시스템에서 주파수 옵셋은 부채널 간의 간섭을 유발하고, 수신 신호의 진폭과 위상을 왜곡시키며, 프레임 옵셋은 수신 신호의 위상을 변화시킨다. 본 논문에서는 2개의 첩 신호(chirp signal)를 이용하여 주파수 옵셋 추정 및 프레임 동기가 동시에 가능한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 방안은 프레임 동기를 위하여 1개의 첩 신호를 이용하는 Hazy 방안보다 주파수 옵셋이 발생할 경우 프레임 동기 성능을 훨씬 개선하였고, 동기에 주파수 옵셋 추정도 가능하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안한 알고리즘의 성능을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 주파수 오차가 큰 IEEE 802.15.4 시스템에서의 프레임 동기 및 주파수 추정기법을 제안한다. 주파수 오차의 영향을 제거하기 위해 coherent 방식이 아닌 non-coherent 방식의 프레임 동기가 요구된다. 차등 신호와 절대값을 이용하여 주파수 옵셋의 영향을 완벽히 제거한 프레임 동기를 제안하였다. 그리고 주파수 옵셋 추정의 분산을 줄이기 위한 over-sampling 주기의 주파수 옵셋 검출 기법을 제안하였다.

Sample timing offset (STO) and carrier frequency offset (CFO) are caused by inter-symbol interference (ISI), inter-carrier interference (ICI) and phase error in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. OFDM characteristic is sensitive about STO and CFO. So when ICI occurs, compensation is hard and complex equalizer is needed. In this paper, we propose an effective correction method using feedback process with pilot and synchronization symbol. After feedback with estimated value in frequency domain, STO and CFO are corrected by control sample & and holder and oscillator. As a result of simulation, we confirm that STO and CFO can be corrected without equalizer through feedback.

It is required for correct signal detection to accurately maintain the synchronization of frequency and timing in a TDMA system. In this paper, we consider nondecision-aided estimation of frequency offset for the transmission of QPSK signal in a TDMA-based satellite system. The proposed scheme estimates the phases of two parts in the burst and then estimates the frequency offset based on the difference between the two estimated phases. Thus, it can provides performance comparable to that of conventional schemes, while significantly reducing the implementation complexity, The performance of the proposed scheme is analyzed and verified by computer simulation, when applied to a GSM based geostationary earth orbit mobile radio(GMR) system.

This paper presents an accurate recovery method of the reference clock which is needed for network synchronization in two-way satellite multimedia systems compliant with DVB-RCS specification and which use closed loop method for burst synchronization. In these systems, the remote station transmits TDMA burst via return link. For burst synchronization, it obtains reference clock from program clock reference (PCR) defined by MPEG-2 system specification. The PCR is generated periodically at the hub system by sampling system clock which runs at 27MHz $\pm$ 30ppm. Since the reference clock is recovered by means of digital PLL(DPLL) using imprecise PCR values due to variable random jitter, the recovered clock frequency of remote station doesn't exactly match reference clock of hub station. We propose a robust recovery method of reference clock against random delay jitter The simulation results show that the recovery error is remarkably decreased from 5 clocks to 1 clock of 27MHz relative to the general DPLL recovery method.

We analyze the performances of MC-CDMA and MC-DS/CDMA systems on quasi-synchronized mobile satellite return link. Quasi-synchronization is considered that chip offset between user terminals is within a few chips. Since the transmitted signals of MC-CDMA and MC-DS/CDMA systems have non-constant envelop, they are easily distorted by nonlinearity of transmit amplifier. Since the nonlinear amplifier input signal level of MC-CDMA system using Walsh code to employ frequency domain spreading is lower than that of MC-DS/CDMA system, performance of single user in MC-CDMA system is respectively 2.3dB and 1dB better than that of MC-DS/CDMA system when amplifier input backoff is 0dB and 6dB. However, since interference of MC-DS/CDMA is less than that of MC-CDMA with many subcarriers in quasi-synchronization and AWGN channel, MC-DS/CDMA system is much better than MC-CDMA system as the number of users increases.

Frame synchronization is achieved by correlation between received symbols and a preamble pattern which is periodically appended at a frame header. In this paper, we deal with a frame detection method complaint with satellite-based DVB-S2 system. In DVB-S2, frame synchronization is performed under the low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR), a large frequency offset which can be up to 20% of a symbol transmission rate and unknown modulation schemes ranging from QPSK to 32-APSK. In this environment, we propose a method combining differential correlation based on SOF and PLSC with an accumulated correlation method for the detection of frame structures. In addition, detection performances about mean acquisition time(MAT) and detection error probability are evaluated via computer simulations.

In this paper, we propose the hierarchical network synchronization scheme that is backward compatible for the existing commercial system, efficient for total system performance, and whose hardware modification is minimized. This system performance is, the relationship among bandwidth efficiency, complexity and MODEM performance, and superiority of network system applicability. The proposed structure can remedy the high hardware complexity and the lower accuracy of network sychronization that the existing satellite communication terminal system in the star network based on TDM/MF-TDMA of DVB-S2/RCS standards has. Besides, It has high efficiency in view of cost and system performance if the system designed for satellite broadcast requires system upgrade. In the body section, its hardware complexity and system performance of the proposed algorithm is analysed theoretically and treated with the related parameters(symbol rate, spreading factor, etc.) and the BER performance of control channel through the computer simulation for its verification that it can be applied for communications system.

The harmonic components of grid voltage result in oscillations of the calculated phase obtained via phase synchronization. This affects the security and stability of grid-connected converters. Moving average filter, delayed signal cancellation and their related harmonic elimination algorithms are major methods for such issues. However, all of the existing methods have their limitations in dealing with multiple harmonics issues. Furthermore, few studies have focused on a comparison and evaluation of these algorithms to achieve optimal algorithm selections in specific applications. In this paper, these algorithms are quantitatively analyzed based on the derived mathematical models. Moreover, an enhanced moving average filter and enhanced delayed signal cancellation algorithms, which are applicable for eliminating a group of selective harmonics with only one calculation block, are proposed. On this basis, both a comprehensive comparison and a quantitative evaluation of all of the aforementioned algorithms are made from several aspects, including response speed, required data storage size, sensitivity to sampling frequency, and elimination of random noise and harmonics. With the conclusions derived in this paper, better overall performance in terms of harmonic elimination can be achieved. In addition, experimental results under different conditions demonstrate the validity of this study.

In this paper, we have identified the system instability factors in a bistatic radar system using pulse chasing and considered their effects on the bistatic receiver's MTI(Moving Target Indication) improvement performance. The pulse chasing is a scan method that searchs a restricted area on the transmit pulse-to-pulse basis and the MTI filter is a signal processing that separates a target from some kinds of interferences such as clutter using small number of transmit pulses. Ideal MTI processing performance, e.g., clutter attenuation and improvement, has been limited by the property of the clutter itself, however, the MTI performance in a proposed bistatic receiver configuration could be affected by the receiving beam pointing error during pulse chasing scanning. Also, for the bistatic receiver, we have defined other system instability factors, which result from the time synchronization error, COHO's phase error, the frequency/phase synchronization error, and have analyzed their effects on the system performance improvement.
