A wideband power amplifier for a frequency hopping radio unit is designed. To obtain higher efficiency, it is designed for the Class B mode overdrived. The broadband transformer and feedback circuits are adapted to obtain broadband characteristics. The designed amplifier is simulated using the ADS, which is a CAD software from HPEEsof, Simulation results of the designed amplifier are well suited for the design specifications. The designed amplifier are fabricated. Measured results of the fabricated amplifier well agreed with the simulation results and are in good agreement with the predicted performance.

In this paper we propose three methods to generate short hopping sequences for the frequency hopping system. First, we explain the one coincidence set of sequences and the polyphase power residue seqences which have been known previously, and we suggest a method by modifying the one coincidence sequence and two methods by using the power residue sequences. We verify that the optimal position deleted-power residue sequences have the best Hamming autocorrelation property and the first position deleted-power residue sequences and the modified one coincidence sequences follows with respect to Hamming autocorrelation. We also explain that these sequences have the good balance property and can be implemented with low complexity.

In this paper, we propose a new channel hopping scheme based on IEEE 802.11h as a good countermeasure against jamming attacks in IEEE 802.11 wireless networks. 802.11h Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is a mechanism which enables hopping to a best channel with full channel measurement, not a randomly chosen channel, when the current link quality degradation occurs due to interferers such as military radars. However, under jammer attacks, this needs a time for full channel measurement before a new channel hopping and due to link disconnection during the time network performance degradation is inevitable. In contrast, our proposed schemes make an immediate response right after a jammer detection since every device is aware of next hopping channel in advance. To do this, a next hopping channel is announced by Beacon frames and the channel is selected by full channel measurement within Beacon intervals. Simulation results show that proposed scheme minimizes throughput degradation and keeps the advantages of DFS.

In this paper, a different type of pulse width modulation (PWM) control scheme for a buck converter is introduced. The proposed buck converter uses PWM with frequency hopping and a low quiescent.current low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator with a power supply rejection ratio enhancer to reduce high spurs, harmonics and output voltage ripples. The low quiescent.current LDO voltage regulator is not described in this paper. A three-bit binary-to-thermometer decoder scheme and voltage ripple controller (VRC) is implemented to achieve low voltage ripple less than 3mV to increase the efficiency of the buck converter. An internal clock that is synchronized to the internal switching frequency is used to set the hopping rate. A center frequency of 2.5MHz was chosen because of the bluetooth low energy (BLE) application. This proposed DC-DC buck converter is available for low-current noise-sensitive loads such as BLE and radio frequency loads in portable communications devices. Thus, a high-efficiency and low-voltage ripple is required. This results in a less than 2% drop in the regulator's efficiency, and a less than 3mV voltage ripple, with -26 dBm peak spur reduction operating in the buck converter.

In this paper, downlink capacity of time duplex division (TDD) based cellular wireless networks utilizing fixed hopping stations is investigated. In the network, a number of fixed subscriber stations act as hopping transmission stations between base stations and far away subscribers, forming a cellular and ad hoc mobile network model. At the radio layer, TDD code division multiple access (CDMA) is selected as the radio interface due to high efficiency of frequency usage. In order to improve the system performance in terms of downlink capacity, we propose different time slot allocation schemes with the usage of fixed hopping stations, which can be selected by either random or distanced dependent schemes. Performance results obtained by computer simulation demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed network to improve downlink system capacity.

In this paper, we present an analysis of the throughput when there are multiple piconets and WLAN sharing the ISM bands. The analysis takes channel propagation characteristics and the capture effect. We also propose an algorithm which can be used to reduce the amount of channel scanning. By using traffic prediction of the interfering WLAN, we are able to maintain a reasonable performance in terms of fraction of time channel is wasted due to collisions or unused channel. Through computer simulation, we demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves reduced scanning frequency.

In this paper, we studied a technique of extracting a Frequency Hopping(FH) signal for analysis using high-speed parallel processing structure. Unlike fixed frequency signal, FH signal is difficult to detect and analyze because FH systems use many random frequencies instead of a single carrier frequency. To solve this problem we designed a method that analyze FH signal using high-speed parallel processing. In order to apply parallel processing, we use CUDA using GPU and compare single processing with prarallel processing. As a result, using CUDA on a GPU is about 8.53 times faster than single processing.

In this paper, a FFH-SS hybrid communication method using digital frequency synthesizer is proposed. This can simultaneously share the same frequency band with conventional band limited communication method without interference. In the experiment the selective hopping pattern is attained by some conbination of serial to parallel conversion of maximal code from pseudo random noise generater, and it is observed that the selective hopping band transition can be more easily achieved when the hop interval is nonuniform than it is uniform. Digital frequency synthesizer is now reported to have very poor spurious suppression ability below 50~60dB, the reason of this is observed from the experimental result, and the way of how to solve this problem is presneted.

2.4Ghz ISM 대역에서 동작하는 Bluetooth는 동일한 대역에서 동작하는 WLAN(802.11.b), Cordless phone, microwave oven등의 신호가 interference로 작용하여, 성능이 크게 저하된다. 특히 Bluetooth과 WLAN은 상호간 interference로 작용하여 상호 성능 저하를 초래한다. 따라서, 두 장치간의 coexistence를 위한 방안으로 adaptive hopping frequency(AFH)이 제안되었다. 이 논문에서는 3 channel status를 이용한 AFH 방식을 제안하고, 그 성능을 검증하였다.

In this paper, a new Open and Closed Loop Alternation(OCLA) frequency synthesizer is developed to eliminate a frequency error occurring in the transition state of a frequency hopping. This frequency synthesizer consists of a phase comparator(PC), two low pass filters(LPF), two voltage controlled oscillators(VCO), switching elements, a programmable divider and frequency hopping controller, and the stabilized output frequency can be obtained by switching performance. In addigion, it can be found that the characteristic of its circuit construction makes it easy to attach an external circuitry to the open loop.
