In this paper, we introduce an edge-spike modulation method for visible light communication (VLC). This method is effective in preventing LED flicker and 120 Hz noise interference in base-band VLC. In the VLC transmitter, edge-spikes are generated by passing the digital data through a simple RC-high pass filter (HPF). The LED modulation of the edge-spikes does not change the average power of the LED light; thus it prevents LED flicker. In the VLC receiver, the 120 Hz noise from other lighting lamps is easily eliminated by RC-HPF, while the edge-spike signal is detected normally. In our experiment, the message of an air-quality sensor was successfully transmitted using edge-spike modulation. This structure is useful in constructing, e.g., wireless gas monitoring sensor systems to warn and prevent harmful gas leakage accidents in buildings using LED light.

In this paper, we propose a new frequency offset estimation algorithm for DBO-CSS which is a standard for wireless personal area network (WPAN). In DBO-CSS, there can be several integer multiples of $2{\pi}$ in the phase rotation caused by the frequency offset because of the long time difference between the samples of differential relation and the high permissible frequency offset of the crystal oscillators between the transmitter and the receiver. In this paper, we propose an estimation algorithm by using the relationships of each sub-chirp signals to find the integer part without phase ambiguity.

최근 무선통신의 활성화에 따라, V/UHF(very/ultra high Frequency) 대역에서 한정된 주파수를 효율적으로 이용하기 위한 방법의 하나로서, 점차 점유 주파수 대역의 폭을 축소하여 보다 많은 이용자를 수용하도록 무선 채널의 협대역화가 추진되고 있다. 본 고에서는 먼저 V/UHF 대역 무선 통신에서 채널의 협대역화에 관련된 기술 중에서 현재까지 사용되고 있는 FM(frequency modulation), AM(amplitude modulation) 변조 방식의 장,단점을 살펴본후, 새로운 LM(linear modulation) 변조 방식에 대한 기술적 배경 및 특성을 알아보았다. LM은 SSR(single side band)-AM이 발전한 것으로서, TTIB(transparent tone-in-band), CLT(Cartesian loop transmitter), FFSR(feed-forward signal regeneration), DSP(digital signal processing)등 4가지의 기술이 결합하여 만들어진 것이다. LM 방식에 사용된 4가지 기술을 소개하고, 기존의 변조 방식에 비해 개선된 사항에 대해 서술한다.

본 논문에서는 PLL 주파수 합성기를 이용한 900 MHz 대역의 무선 마이크용 송신기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 위상잡음을 고려한 주파수 합성기는 VCO, Loop Filter 및 RF 중폭부로 구성한 후 HP EEsof ADS ver. 1.3을 이용하여 설계하였다. VCO는 구조가 간단하며 변조가 용이한 직접변조방식을 사용하였으며 Loop Filter는 주파수 합성기의 기준 고조파 성분을 낮추기 위해 수동 3차 필터를 사용하였다. 주파수 대역 928.125 MHz～929.875 MHz 내에서 채널간격 125 kHz를 갖으며 15개의 채널이 되도록 분주비를 설정한 주파수 합성기는 제작 결과, 송신기 출력 9.3 dBm과 위상잡음이 100 kHz에서 -113 dBc/Hz 이하의 위상잡음 특성을 나타내었고 불요주파수 특성은 -80 dBc 이하의 특성을 나타내었다.

For combating multipath fading in wireless radio environment, diversity schemes is useful. In this paper, for performance improvement of polarization diversity system, we analyzed a two-branch polarization diversity at the receiving end of a mobile link when the transmitter emits a circularly polarized wave. And In order to calculate the correlation coefficient considering the XPD(cross polarization discrimination) between the received signals for the two diversity branches, a simple theoretical model of circular polarization diversity is adopted and calculate correlation coefficient. From the analysis results, it is seen that the correlation coefficient of circular polarization diversity evaluated by the XPD is less than that of vertical polarization diversity. And also, we designed and fabricated circular polarization diversity system with microstrip antenna. we analyzed data measured in indoor NLOS environment using fabricated circular polarization diversity system. From the measurement results, it is clearly seen that the diversity effect of circular polarization diversity system is higher 3dB than vertical polarization diversity system.

In this paper, we analyze and simulate performance of space time block coded (STBC) binary pulse amplitude modulation-direct sequence (BPAM-DS) ultra-wideband (UWB) systems with double binary turbo code in indoor environments for various ubiquitous healthcare (u-healthcare) applications. Indoor wireless channel is modeled as a modified Saleh and Valenzuela (SV) model proposed as a UWB indoor channel model by the IEEE 802.15.SG3a in July 2003. In the STBC encoding process, an Alamouti algorithm for real-valued signals is employed because UWB signals have the type of real signal constellation. It is assumed that the transmitter has knowledge about channel state information. From simulation results, it is shown that the STBC scheme does not have an influence on improving bit error probability performance of the BPAM-DS UWB systems. It is also confirmed that the results of this paper can be applicable for u-healthcare applications.

In this paper, we realized a transceiver system for short distance communication with a commercial RF module working in ISM band and a microprocessor. Also we measured system performance by transmitting baseband data in a building and then we compared the demodulated 긴ta bits with stored data bits in a PC connected with demodulator. The RF module in the experiments works oかy in the bandwidth, 424MHz - 429MHz. with FM mode. The signal level degrades as the distance between transmitter and receiver increases we measured the signal level and bit error in the building of engineering college of our university. we present the measured data with various locations in the building. and the data may be used in design short distance network in a building.

We studied the prototypal developments of Plastic Cortex Stimulator (PCS) for stroke patients. The PC sends the stimulation parameters (amplitude, pulse width, cycle, etc.) to the transmitter ZigBee module through serial port. The receiver ZigBee module generates stimulation waveform. The generated output can be controlled by the PC program. Further study can be expanded to portable handset such as PDA using ZigBee. The wireless control of PCS with the handset can help the tele-rehabilitation.

In this paper, a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) full-duplex system is addressed, where both the transmitter and receiver have multiple antennas. Fundamental problems of the MIMO full-duplex technique are discussed, and possible solutions are presented. In particular, the transceiver designs that have been reported in the literature are technically reviewed, and their problems are discussed investigating the feasibility of the full-duplex technique in commercialized systems such as LTE and WiFi.

In this paper, we propose the precoder with superimposed pilots for orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) systems in order to enhance the transmission efficiency of the system and reduce peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) which is the problem in OFDMA uplink. In wireless communication systems, the way to improve transmission efficiency is 1) to reduce bit error rate (BER) or 2) to increase data rate. In the proposed scheme, we design the precoder and superimposed pilots in the transmitter and use them in the receiver for increasing data rate, caused by the saved transmission bandwidth thanks to the superimposed pilots. In addition, we improve BER performance with the help of the frequency diversity gain caused by precoding. Also using superimposed pilots, we enhance the PAPR performance by increasing the average output power of the signal.
