In this paper, we presented the synchronization module between RF shower system and RFID Reader to extend interrogating range on Mobile RFID system, Costas Loop and FPLL(Frequency/phase Lock Loop) were used. We achieved compromised range of 3MHz locking frequency, 1ms locking time and figured out remarkable Hopping frequency of the Reader. The prototype of the new designed RFID system has been tested with ISO18000-6 type-B Tag. The read range between designed RFID Reader and Tag has been measured, it increased triple times by adjusting the Shower system output level.

This paper proposes a new measurement method using virtual power concept to measure the effective value of 3-phase voltage with variable frequency. The conventional effective value measurement method uses a method of integrating data sampled during one or half cycle of the power voltage and averaging it. In this method, since the effective voltage is calculated every cycle, a time delay occurs in the measured effective voltage and it is s a problem to measure the effective value of a device whose frequency varies from time to time, such as a generator. The proposed 3-phase voltage rms measurement method has an advantage that it can measure accurate voltage RMS value regardless of measurement frequency variation. In particular, there is an advantage in that it is possible to measure a 3-phase effective voltage rather than an average value of the effective voltage of each phase in a 3-phase unbalance voltage. In addition, the validity of the proposed method is verified by using the Psim simulation tool and the experimental results are analyzed by applying the proposed measurement algorithm to the actual three phase synchronous generator voltage measurement experiment.

In this paper, we propose and evaluate joint carrier and sampling frequency offset estimation schemes based on the channel estimation sequences in PLCP (Physical Layer Convergence Procedure) preamble for the proper and effcient synchronization of the MB-OFDM WB (Multi-Band Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Ultra Wide Band) systems which have recently drawn explosive attention for future W-PAN (Wireless Personal Area Network) applications. In the joint estimation schemes, we first estimate the sampling frequency offset, and then estimate the carrier frequency offset using the estimated sampling frequency offset. Moreover, to improve the reliability of the estimated offset values, each process uses a combination scheme based on weighting factors. Simulation results using IEEE 802.15 Task Group 3a UWB channel models reveal that the estimation scheme using the simple weighting factors based on easily-measurable received signal power of each sub-channel shows favorably comparable performance to the ideal scheme using the weighting factors based on the perfectly-estimated frequency response of the channel.

A new frequency offset estimation algorithm for chirp spread spectrum based on matched filter is proposed. Generally, the differential phase between successive symbols is used for the conventional frequency offset estimation algorithm. However, if the conventional frequency offset estimation algorithm is used for CSS, phase ambiguity arises because of long symbol duration and guard time. The phase ambiguity causes performance degradation of matched filter since the received signal is corrupted by the integer frequency offset. In this paper, we propose a new frequency offset estimation algorithm which separates integer and fractional frequency offset estimation for removing the phase ambiguity. The proposed algorithm estimates the integer frequency offset by using differential phase between matched filtering results of sub-chirps and successive symbols. Then, the fractional frequency offset is estimated by using the differential phase between successive symbols Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm well removes the phase ambiguity, and have almost same estimation performance compared with conventional one when there is not the phase ambiguity.

In a parallel operation of UPS, there are two types of circulating currents between UPS. One is the low order circulating current with a fundamental frequency caused by the amplitude and phase differences of UPS output voltages, and the other is the harmonic circulating current with PWM switching frequency caused by non-synchronized PWM waveforms among UPS. The elimination of the low order circulating current is essential for optimal load sharing in parallel operations of UPS, which can be accomplished by the phase and magnitude control at each UPS. The harmonic circulating current may cause troubles and deteriorate in performance of the controller for optimal load sharing in parallel operation of UPS. This paper presents a PWM synchronizing method to eliminate the harmonic circulation current in parallel operation of UPS. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme has been investigated and verified through experiments by a 50kVA UPS.

본 논문에서는 제한된 통신 채널의 대역에서 주파수 효율이 높은 OFDM 시스템을 위한 반송파 주파수 동기 알고리즘을 제안한다. OFDM 시스템에서의 반송파 주파수 옵셋은 부반송파 간격의 정수배와 소수배로 나누어진다 소수배 주파수 옵셋이 ± 0.5 근처의 값을 가질 경우에는 정확한 정수배 주파수 옵셋 추정이 어렵고 반송파 동기 PLL이 소수배 주파수 옵셋을 추적하는데 많은 시간이 소요된다. 제안한 알고리즘은 정수배 주파수 옵셋을 제거하기 위해 2개의 심볼 만을 이용하고 다중경로 패널에서도 정확한 정수배 주파수 옵셋의 추정이 가능하다 또한, 소수배 주파수 옵셋이 ± 0.5 근처의 값을 가질 경우 적은 계산량으로 주파수 옵셋을 ± 0.1 이내로 보상할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 단일주파수망에서 다수의 송신기로부터 전송되는 방송신호 간의 주파수를 일치시키기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 다수의 송신기로 동일한 송신채널을 통해 콘텐츠를 전송하는 경우 신호가 중첩되는 지역에서 주파수를 정확히 일치시키지 않으면 도플러효과가 야기되어 수신성능이 현저히 저하된다. 일반적으로 GPS 기준신호를 송신시스템의 참조주파수로 사용함으로써 방송신호 간의 주파수를 일치시킨다. 이 경우 GPS 기준신호로부터 복원된 참조주파수를 주파수 상하향 변환에 사용하면 위상지터가 증폭되어 방송신호 간의 순간적인 주파수 차이가 크게 발생할 수 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 GPS 참조주파수보다 위상지터가 작은 송신기 자체의 국부발진기 주파수를 주파수 상하향 변환에 사용하는 한편 국부발진기 자체의 주파수 오차를 상쇄함으로써 방송신호 간의 주파수를 일치시킨다.

A global ultrasonic sensor system for self-localization of a mobile robot is proposed in this paper. The global ultrasonic sensor system consists of three or more ultrasonic transmitters fixed at some positions in the world coordinate and receivers in the moving coordinate of a mobile robot. In this global sensor system it is easy to get state vector of the mobile robot in the world coordinate from the distance information between each ultrasonic transmitter and receiver. An extended kalman filter algorithm is used to process the noisy ultrasonic signal and to estimate the state vector. In case of using several independent ultrasonic transmitters, it is necessary to avoid the cross talk among the ultrasonic waves and to synchronize between each ultrasonic transmitter and receiver. The small sized radio frequency modules are adopted to solve the cross talk and the synchronization problem Computer simulation and experiments are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed ultrasonic sensor system.

CMMB(China Multimedia Mobile Broadcasting) 방식은 중국의 휴대이동방송 표준으로서 프레임에 하나의 ID 신호와 두개의 동기 신호 40개의 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 데이터 심볼을 포함하고 있다. 다른 OFDM 시스템의 모바일 방송과는 달리 CMMB는 별도의 동기 심볼을 두고 있다. 또한 BPSK 성상으로 전송되는 OFDM 심볼내의 연속 파일럿은 CMMB의 시스템 정보를 전송하고 있어 이미 수신기에서 송신 연속 파일럿을 알고있는 유럽의 DVB-H나 일본의 원세그와는 다르다. 그러므로 CMMB의 프레임 구조에 특화를 시킨 동기 알고리듬이 필요하다. 본 논문은 CMMB 동기신호를 이용한 정수배 주파수 동기, OFDM 심볼을 이용한 소수배 동기 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리듬은 각각 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션으로 검증하였다.
