In this Paper, the channel characteristics of the medium voltage(22.9kV) power line to analysis the broadband power line communication in the frequency range up to 30MHz was measured. With the sideband electrical coupler in the operating frequency range from DC to 30MHz, we measured characteristic impedance, noise and attenuation of the medium voltage power line, and then characteristic impedance was measured at the state of unloaded medium voltage power line by Scattering parameter method of Vector Network Analyzer. As a measurement result, Channel impedance shows 100~380$\Omega$ at the less than 15MHz and 70~230$\Omega$ at the more than 15 MHz. Noise characteristics of power line shows -75dBm at 20MHz and Narrowband interference noise was from 3 MHz to 7MHz.

Recent premium smartphones commonly employ a metal frame and this trend is currently spreading over mid-range smartphones. However, the metal frame becomes a good coupling path of electromagnetic noises emitted from digital components in smartphones and then increases radio-frequency interference(RFI) to RF antennas located at top and bottom sides of smartphones. This paper proposed a metal frame with EBG(Electromagnetic Band Gap) structure to reduce the noise coupling to antenna by suppressing surface wave on the metal frame. By simulation, it is confirmed that the proposed metal frame with $7{\times}6$ mushroom-type EBG array pattern with multi-via can reduce the noise coupling to RF antenna by about 20 dB.

To operate Platform Screen Door (PSD) automatically, the operational data of PSD and the train must be interfaced properly. PSD and train are operated together by the signaling system in Automatic Train Operation (ATO) signaling system zone where interfaces are provided between PSD and train. However, the additional PSD interface system with train is required in train operating zone without the interface between PSD and train. For the PSD interface, the wireless communication system or the train status (train correct stop status / train door status) detection system has been used. Seoul Metro line No.2. has the PSD wireless communication system using 447MHz band RF. For the safety of PSD operation, it is required to prevent RF interference in the subway environment where many frequencies exist. In this paper, the PSD wireless communication system is developed using 2.4GHz band RF to prevent the interference of the wireless communication and increase the traffic of the PSD interface. Furthermore, the improved system can store, manage and display the PSD and train operational data using Human Machine Interface (HMI) in the train's driver cab.

In order to use more efficiently limited frequency resources at the broadcasting band and to eliminate blanket area of the terrestrial broadcasting and to improve broadcasting quality. The importance of repeaters has increasing continuously. However, in case of T-DMB digital on channel repeater in OFDM systems, some of the signal radiated feedback again at the receiver antenna. So it generates feedback signal interference in repeater system. Also phase noise increases ICI(Inter Carrier Interference). It affects seriously the frequency domain equalizer. In this paper, we remove the feedback signal interference by LMS with correlation. Also we propose an effective equalizer algorithm that can remove ICI caused by phase noise and the power amplifier's back-off. In this simulation results, this system is satisfied the performance of BER=$10^{-4}$ at less than SNR=14 dB after compensation of phase noise.

In this paper, we propose a SSD (simultaneous single-band duplex) system using Digital Cancellation. Also, we propose a method for Digital Cancellation when RF Cancellation is effectively performed. The proposed system has estimation frame for effective self-interference channel estimation in time-domain. The proposed system calculates signal power for selection of optimal coefficient after digital cancellation. Then, the proposed system selects coefficient of minimum signal power. Further, the proposed system uses LDPC code to minimize the effects of remaining self-interference signal. The proposed system shows BER performance of at 20dB by cancelling self-interference and iterating LDPC code. That is, the proposed system shows that the SSD communication is possible in static self-interference channel.

In this paper, we propose a RF front-end developments for vehicle UWB radar systems. UWB systems have a very narrow pulse width that is below 1ns. Therefore, UWB is designed to have broadband quality of low power several GHz and must coexist with the radio communication system. UWB's advantages include high channel capacity and data rate, because precise resolution for multi-path can easily position estimate and Rake receiver. Also, UWB has low interference because it displays broadband quality of low power. Positioning is made possible by short range accuracy, which can reduce the expense of system design. An RF front-end module is designed using the DCR(Direct ConveRsion) method and is composed in RF for vehicles at a low-cost.

In this article, we proposed a new interference canceller using the adaptive algorithm. We designed constant modulus algorithm-correlation normailized least mean square (CMA-CNLMS) for wireless system. This structure is normalized LMS algorithm using correlation between the desired and input signal for cancelling the interference signals in the wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) system. We showed that the proposed algorithm could improve the Mean Square Error (MSE) performance of LMS algorithm. MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory) is employed to analyze the proposed algorithm and to compare it with the experimental results. The MSE value of the LMS with mu=0.0001 was measured as - 12.5 dB, and that of the proposed algorithm was -19.5 dB which showed an improvement of 7dB.

Whether it is crosstalk, harmonics, or in-band operation of wireless technologies, interference between a reference system and a host of offenders is virtually unavoidable. In past contributions, a benchmark has been established and considered for coexistence analysis with a number of technologies including FWA, UMTS, and WiMAX. However, the previously presented model does not take into account the mobility factor of the reference node in addition to a number of interdependent requirements regarding the link direction, channel state, data rate and system factors; hence limiting its applicability for the MBWA (IEEE 802.20) standard. Thus, over diverse modes, in this correspondence we analytically derived the greatest aggregate interference level tolerated for high-fidelity transmission tailored specifically for the MBWA standard. Our results, in the form of benchmark indicators, should be of particular interest to peers analyzing and researching RF coexistence scenarios with this new protocol.

In this paper, we studied a spectrum sensing algorithm for the efficient use of available spectrum in RF energy harvesting system combined with backscatter communication. We first looked for white spaces and then, selected low fading channel among white spaces using spectrum sensing algorithm at a transmitter. The transmitter employing the algorithm alleviates signal interference and improves the received signal strength indication through signals transmitted by low fading channel. The proposed RF energy harvesting system combined with backscatter communication is used the transmitter employing the algorithm. As a result of computer simulations, we can find the performance improvements of RF energy harvesting, BER of backscatter communication, and the received signal strength per distance of backscatter tag.
