A new design of RF automatic gain control amplifier with low phase shift attenuator is proposed. By using the RF AGC amplifier, the output level of amplifier becomes to be constant. The error is 0.1dB. In addition, for arbitrary RF input power, it is possible to design the gain of amplifier to be fixed. If the constant gain is maintained, it is more reliable to make wanted IMD(Intermodulation Distortion) characteeristic amplifier.

This paper relates with the performance improvement of CCA (Compact Constellation Algorithm) equalization algorithm by adding the adaptive step size control in order to the minimization of intersymbol interference and additive noise effects that is occurs in the channel for digital radio transmissionl. In general, the fixed step size was used in order to adaptation in equalizer algorithm. But in proposed algorithm, the variable step size were adapted that is proposional to the nonlinear function of error signal for equalization. In order to show the improved equalizatation performance, the output signal constellation of equalizer, residual isi, maximum distortion, MSE and SER were used, then it were compared with the present CCA algorithm. As a result of computer simulation, the adaptive step size CCA has more better performance in the every performance index compared to the fixed step size CCA after in the steay state.

In this paper, a new technique and cost function which can be to classify jamming signal and target signal from the spectral distribution of received signal in order to minimize the main beam distortion of target signal and to form nulls in the direction of jamming signal in array antennas of single port system is proposed. The proposed cost function is applied to the adaptive algorithm which has the fast convergence and stable nulling performance through the combination of the PSO(Particle Swam Optimization) algorithm and the gradient-based perturbation algorithm, which shows stable nulling performance adaptively even under the moving jamming signal where the incident direction of the jamming signal is changing with time.

압축된 영상의 비트스트림에 오류가 발생할 경우 영상을 원할 때 심각한 왜곡이 발생하고, 이 때문에 멀티미디어 서비스에서 오류 보상 방법은 더욱 중요한 기술로 대두되고 있다. 기존의 연속된 블록을 복원하는 Hsia방법에서는 상하에 인접한 블록의 경계면에 따라 화소 값을 비교하고 정합벡터를 구하였다. 이와 같이 구해지 정합벡터는 주변 블록의 에지 분포에 대한 고려가 배제되기 때문에 정확한 블록의 복원을 이루어낼 수 없다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 주변 블록의 에지 분포를 고려한다. 오류 블록을 중심으로 상단과 하단의 에지 분포를 고려하여 에지 방향으로 보간한다. 이때 에지 검출을 위해 Sobel 연산자를 이용하고 그 임계값은(Just-Noticeable-Distortion)/MND(Minimally- Noticeable Distortion)로 한다. 에지의 뭉개짐 현상을 막기 위하여 상단 블록과 하단 블록에 에지가 존재 하지 않을 때와 존재할 때를 구분해서 보간한다. 연속된 블록에 발생한 오류를 제안하는 방법으로 보상 할 경우 PSNR이 최대 2dB이상 향상된다.

This paper presents a novel linearization scheme for a nonlinear RF amplifier It is based on the amplitude modulation with envelope signal. The 3rd order distortion generator is composed of two FETs and it adopts a balanced structure for the purpose of main carrier cancellation. The amplitude and phase of the IM3 component can be controlled at RF band. This predistorter is implemented and tested at the KOREA PCS Tx. band (1840∼1870MHz). Experimental results of two-tone test show that the IM3 cancellation is achieved about 30-40 ㏈ for the wide dynamic range. The adjacent channel power ratio is improved by over 10 ㏈ at the broad-band CDMA signal with a peak to average power ratio of l0㏈, and this improvement is maintained through a wide range of output power levels.

Recently location based services is being expanded into the indoor service that can not access to the outdoor location informations, such as GPS. Thus, the research and development of an indoor positioning system with BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) iBeacon technology has expanded. However, RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) that is used as the distance information between the terminal and for positioning iBeacon signal has a problem in that distortion occurs, information such as the signal attenuation and the delay due to the characteristics of radio waves. In this paper, we propose a reliable method of verifying iBeacon signal with the signal distortion problems for reliable indoor positioning systems.

This paper presents high power and high efficiency Doherty amplifiers for 2.345 GHz wireless broadband (WiBro) applications that use a Nitronex 125-W ($P_{3dB}$) GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT). Two- and three-way Doherty amplifiers and a saturated Doherty amplifier using Class-F circuitry are implemented. The measured result for a center frequency of 2.345 GHz shows that the two-way Doherty amplifier attains a high $P_{3dB}$ of 51.5 dBm, a gain of 12.5 dB, and a power-added efficiency (PAE) improvement of about 16 % compared to a single class AB amplifier at 6-dB back-off power region from $P_{3dB}$. For a WiBro OFDMA signal, the Doherty amplifier provides an adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR) at 4.77 MHz offset that is -33 dBc at an output power of 42 dBm, which is a 9.5 dB back-off power region from $P_{3dB}$. By employing a digital pre-distortion (DPD) technique, the ACLR of the Doherty amplifier is improved from -33 dBc to -48 dBc. The measured result for the same frequency shows that the three-way Doherty amplifier, which has a $P_{3dB}$ of 53.16 dBm and a gain of 10.3 dB, and the saturated Doherty amplifier, which has a $P_{3dB}$ of 51.1 dBm and a gain of 10.3 dB, provide a PAE improvement of 11 % at the 9-dB back-off power region and 7.5 % at the 6-dB back-off region, respectively, compared to the two-way Doherty amplifier.

In low earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication systems, more severe phase distortion due to Doppler shift is frequently detected in the received signal than in cases of geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellite systems or terrestrial mobile systems. Therefore, an estimation of Doppler shift would be one of the most important factors to enhance performance of LEO satellite communication system. In this paper, a new adaptive Doppler compensation scheme using location information of a user terminal and satellite, as well as a weighting factor for the reduction of prediction error is proposed. The prediction performance of the proposed scheme is simulated in terms of the prediction accuracy and the cumulative density function of the prediction error, with considering the offset variation range of the initial input parameters in LEO satellite system. The simulation results showed that the proposed adaptive compensation algorithm has the better performance accuracy than Ali's method. From the simulation results, it is concluded the adaptive compensation algorithm is the most applicable method that can be applied to LEO satellite systems of a range of altitude between 1,000 km and 2,000 km for the general error tolerance level, M = 250 Hz.

To improve the bandwidth efficiency of conventional orthogonal modulation, the MCTO(Multi-Code Trans-Orthogonal) modulation, which is modified orthogonal modulation, was proposed. However, the RF(Radio Frequency) power amplifier for the MCTO modulation is too complex to reject the amplitude distortion due to the non-constant amplitude property of the MCTO. Therefore, in this paper, CAMCTO(constant-amplitude multi-code trans-orthogonal) modulation is proposed by using the constant-amplitude encoding algorithm for multi-code signal. Additionally, the performance of the proposed CAMCTO modulation is compared with those of the orthogonal modulation and the MCTO modulation by using the computer simulation. The computer simulations show that the bandwidth efficiency of the proposed CAMCTO modulation is better than that of the conventional orthogonal modulation.
