In the impulse radio ultra-wideband communication systems, the residual timing offset exists when the acquisition and tracking of the timing synchronization is well done. And the offset affects the performance of the system dramatically. In order to compensate the offset, we present the digital phase-locked loop that uses the reference signal in the correlation detection receiver. First, we show the degradation of BER performance that is caused by the offset, and then compensation process of the timing tracker and performance improvement. In this paper, the timing detector in the tracker operates at the sampling period of frame level uses the correlation between received and reference signal. Also, we present the performance comparison by using the computer simulation results for different Gaussian monocycle pulses.

The binary offset carrier (BOC) modulation has attracted much attention as a new physical layer implementation for satellite communication and global navigation satellite systems. In this paper, we propose a new correlation function for sine-phased BOC signals. Specifically, we separate a sub-carrier pulse into several rectangular pulses, and then, generate a number of partial correlation functions. Finally we combine the partial correlation functions to yield an unambiguous correlation function with no side-peak. From numerical results, it is demonstrated that the proposed correlation function provides a significant tracking performance improvement over the conventional correlation functions.

The train travels on the track and, thus, the rear wheels precisely follow the paths of the front wheels. On the contrary, in the vehicles running on the road like automobiles, buses and trucks, the front wheels try to drag the rear ones toward them and across the inside of the curve. Off-tracking is defined as the radial offset between the path of the centerline of the front axle and the path of the centerline of the following axle. In the case of the bimodal tram with AWS(all wheel steering), the off-tracking decrease but the rear swing-out values increase because of the rear steering at the reverse phase angle. Thus, in order to determine the swept path width, maximum road width at the minimum turning radius, off-tracking and swing-out should be considered for the bimodal tram. In this paper, trajectory simulations were carried out for the various condition such as front steering, front and rear steering and suppression of swing-out to optimize the swept path width.

Video surveillance is widely used in security surveillance, military navigation, intelligent transportation, etc. Its main research fields are pattern recognition, computer vision and artificial intelligence. This article uses OpenCV to detect and track vehicles, and monitors by establishing an adaptive model on a stationary background. Compared with traditional vehicle detection, it not only has the advantages of low price, convenient installation and maintenance, and wide monitoring range, but also can be used on the road. The intelligent analysis and processing of the scene image using CAMSHIFT tracking algorithm can collect all kinds of traffic flow parameters (including the number of vehicles in a period of time) and the specific position of vehicles at the same time, so as to solve the vehicle offset. It is reliable in operation and has high practical value.

In this paper, the performances of two noncoherent code tracking loops, i. e., traditional code tracking loop(TCTL) and modified code tracking loop(MCTL) are analyzed and compared in a CDMA mobile environment. Closed-form formulas for steady-state jitter variance are derived analytically for the two schemes as a function of the pulse shaping filter, timing offset, signal-to-interference ratio, and loop bandwidth. The design issues of the loop filter are also addressed with emphasis on the second-order tracking loop. Finally, the degradation of BER performance due to timing errors is examined in a CDMA reverse link for IMT-2000 designed by ETRI.

In this study, we constructed a preview-sensing visual sensor system for weld seam tracking in GMA welding. The visual sensor consists of a CCD camera, a diode laser system with a cylindrical lens and a band-pass-filter to overcome the degrading of image due to spatters and/or arc light. To obtain weld joint position and edge points accurately from the captured image, we compared Hough transform method with central difference method. As a result, we present Hough transform method can more accurately extract the points and it can be applied to real time weld seam tracking. Image processing is carried out to extract straight lines that express laser stripe. After extracting the lines, weld joint position and edge points is determined by intersecting points of the lines. Although a spatter trace is in the image, it is possible to recognize the position of weld joint. Weld seam tracking was precisely implemented with adopting Hough transform method, and it is possible to track the weld seam in the case of offset angle is in the region of $\pm15^{\circ}$.

In this study, a preview-sensing visual sensor system is constructed far weld seam tracking in GMA welding. The visual sensor system consists of a CCD camera, a diode laser system with a cylindrical lens, and a band-pass-filter to overcome the degrading of image due to spatters and/or arc light. Among the image processing methods, Hough transform method is compared with the central difference method from a viewpoint of the capability for extracting the accurate feature position. As a result, it was revealed that Hough transform method can more accurately extract the feature positions and it can be applied to real time weld seam tracking. Image processing which includes Hough transform method is carried out to extract straight lines that express laser stripe. After extracting the lines, weld joint position and edge points are determined by intersecting the lines. Even though the image includes a spatter trace on it, it is possible to recognize the position of weld joint. Weld seam tracking was precisely implemented with adopting Hough transform method, and it is possible to track the weld seam in the case of offset angle is in the region of $\pm$ $15^{\circ}$.

This paper proposes the specific code synchronization technique for DS-SS(Direct Sequence-Spread Spectrum transmission in the DVB-RCS +M standard. DS-SS is better than multi-carrier transmission method under nonlinear channel but imposes a long acquisition time. To improve the synchronization aspect, the robust correlation structure is introduced for acquisition and the nonlinear delay lock loop is done for tracking. MAT(Mean Acquisition Time) performances is shown to validate its superiority. In addition, code tracking and jitter performances are done when code tracking algorithm based on 2 oversamples which is not influenced by sampling clock timing offset and carrier freq. offset is used.

In this paper, we propose a phase offset estimation algorithm which is based on turbo coded digital broadcasting system. The phase estimator is an estimator outside turbo code decoder using LMS (Least Mean Square) algorithm to estimate the phase of next state. While the conventional LMS algorithm with a fixed step size is easy implemented, it has weak points that are difficult the channel estimation and tracking in the multipath environment. To resolve this problem, we propose new phase offset estimation method with a variable step size LMS (VS-LMS). Additionally, we propose a scheme which consists of a conventional LMS. The performance is verified by computer simulation according to a fixed phase offset and a increased phase offset, the proposed algorithm improve the bit error rate performance than the conventional algorithm.

In this paper, we have analyzed the performance of synchronization of CCK(Complementary Code Keying) modulation scheme used for IEEE 802.11g wireless LAM system supporting 54 Mbps of high speed data rate over 2.4 GHz. At receiver, the clock frequency offset is caused by noise or fading. This frequency error occurs the offset of clock timing and causes ISI. Therefore the tracking is required to reduce the clock timing offset. The DLL(Delay Lock Loop), asychronization mode, performing tacking the clock is used for the simulation. The simulation result shows jitter variance and BER performance in the AWGN and multipath fading channel environment.
