In this paper we propose a new fast peak searching method using the gradient and present simulation results. The proposed method is a solution to the problem that finds the peak(maximum) of the unimodal function on a finite interval with minimum searching steps. Its main application is the auto-focus in the mobile phone. We propose the three steps to find the peak; periodic search, gradient-based search and detail search. In simulation we generated the Gaussian functions with white noise and have the result of about 8 searching steps and 1.04 errors on average.

In this paper, we propose an efficient method to broadcast digital television signals using single frequency networks (SFNs) within the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) transmission systems. In implementing the SFNs of an 8-vestigial side band (8-VSB) Digital Television (DTV) system, the ambiguity problem of the trellis coder is unavoidable in a conventional ATSC transmission system. We propose a memory initialization of the trellis coder to resolve this ambiguity problem. Since the proposed scheme to synchronize multiple transmitters minimizes the changes from the conventional ATSC system, the hardware complexity for these changes is very low. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme makes a less than 0.1 dB degradation at the threshold of visibility with a bit error rate of $3{\times}10^{-6}$ in the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. It is possible to reduce the performance degradation by increasing the initialization period of the proposed scheme.

It is well known that the OFDM system is weak against the frequency offset. The frequency offset attenuates the received signal power and makes the performance bound in the OFDM transmission. We show the performance bound of the OFDM transmission with the frequency offset under the additive white Gaussian noise channel by the numerical method. According to the results, increasing the transmitting power is not useful to improve the performance, when the frequency offset exits. The performance degradation is very severe as the frequency offset increases.

In order to analyze the rolling motion of a ship in random beam waves we have used the equivalent linearization method. The quadratic nonlinear damping, the cubic and quintic nonlinear restoring moments were added to a single degree of freedom linear equation of roll motion. The irregular excitation moment was assumed to be the Gaussian white noise. The statistical characteristic of the response by the equivalent linearization method was compared with the simulation result.

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.

In this paper, we investigate the performance of convolutional coded DS/CDMA system equipped with a noncoherent M-ary orthogonal modulation scheme, and operating in multi-user environments over slow and freuency nonselective Nakagami-m fading channels with an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). An expression for the pariwise error probability that can be used to compute the upper bound of coded system is first derived. performance of the DS/CDMA system with and without the convolutional codes are then compared. We have obsered that the convolutional coded can compensate the degradation quite well in multi-user situations over the Nakagami fading channels with the AWGN. For the case of an extreme fading, however, it has been seen that the convolutional code reaches its limit to improve the overall system performance as the number of users increse.

In general, the communication channel can be modeled as inter-symbol interference(ISI) and additive white gaussian noise channel. Viterbi algorithm is optimum detector for transmitted data at transmitter, but it needs large computational complexity. For the sake of this problem, adaptive equalizers are employed for channel equalization which is not attractive for mixed phase channel. In this paper, we propose the effective new channel equalizer for mixed phase channel and show the better performance than previous equalizers.

In this paper, we propose the modified uniformly most powerful (UMP) belief-propagation (BP)-based decoding algorithm which utilizes multiplicative and additive factors to diminish the errors introduced by the approximation of the soft values given by a previously proposed UMP BP-based algorithm. This modified UMP BP-based algorithm shows better performance than that of the normalized UMP BP-based algorithm, i.e., it has an error performance closer to BP than that of the normalized UMP BP-based algorithm on the additive white Gaussian noise channel for low density parity check codes. Also, this algorithm has the same complexity in its implementation as the normalized UMP BP-based algorithm.

In this paper, we study the improved bounds on the performance of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes over binary-input additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels with belief propagation (BP) decoding in log domain. We define an extended Gallager ensemble based on a new method of constructing parity check matrix and make use of this way to improve upper bound of LDPC codes. At the same time, many simulation results are presented in this paper. These results indicate the extended Gallager ensembles based on Hamming codes have typical minimum distance ratio, which is very close to the asymptotic Gilbert Varshamov bound and the superior performance which is better than the original Gallager ensembles.

In order to remove the intersymbol interference(ISI) phenomenon in data transmission channel, the structure and convergence analysis of the improved multiplication free adaptive digital filter(IMADF) is presented. Under conditions of zero-mean, wide-sense stationary and white Gaussian noise, it is shown that this paper analyze the convergence characteristics of the IMADF with a fractionally-spaced equalizer(FSE). In the experimental results, the convergence characteristics of the IMADF algorithm is almost same as the sign algorithm, but is better than the MADF algorithm. Here, this algorithm has useful characteristics when the correlation of the input signal is highly.
