This paper presents a design of a real-time software GPS receiver which runs on a PC. The software GPS receiver has advantages over conventional hardware based receivers in terms of flexibility and efficiency in application oriented system design and modification. In odor to reduce the processing time of the software operations in the receiver, a shared memory structure is used with a dynamic data control, and the byte-type IF data is processed through an Open Multi-Processing technique in the mixer and integrator which requires the most computational load. A high speed data acquisition device is used to capture the incoming high-rate IF signals. The FFT-IFFT correlation technique is used for initial acquisition and FLL assisted PLL is used for carrier tracking. All software modules are operated in sequence and are synchronized with pre-defined time scheduling. The performance of the designed software GPS receiver is evaluated by running it in real-time using the real GPS signals.

In this paper, design and applications of a generalized, versatile and customizable IF signal generator that can model the modernized GPS and Galileo signal is given. It generates IF sampled data that can be directly used by a software receiver. Entire constellation of satellites which is independent of satellite-user geometry is easily determined using a real or simulated ephemeris data. Since the IF center frequency, sampling frequency and quantization bit number are user location dependent parameters, their effects are also considered in IF signal generator. The generalized IF signal generator will be very well suited for the development phase of a software receiver due to its versatility. The full access to the sampling frequency, front-end filter definition and ADC parameters also offers a great opportunity for cost-effective analysis of tracking loops and error mitigation techniques at the receiver level. Interference sources can be easily added to the generator to simulate specific environments. This software IF signal generator can also be used to feed a multi-frequency multi-system software receiver for the prototyping of a combined GPS/Galileo receiver. The test result using the generated signals and a real software receiver shows the effectiveness of the implemented IF signal generator.

Recently, 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has developed sidehaul system to cope with the explosively increasing mobile data traffic. The sidehaul system is based on single carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC-FMDA) due to its low peak to average power ratio (PAPR). Also, antenna array is designed to support multiple input multiple output (MIMO) in a restricted space. In this paper, we design the antenna array about uniform linear array (ULA), uniform circular array (UCA) and uniform planar array (UPA), and analysis the performance in sidehaul system. In addition, we propose the novel hybrid receiver full suppression cancellation (FSC) to reduce the interference from neighbor cell in sidehaul system. The proposed receiver can suppress and cancel the interference by combining interference rejection combining (IRC) with successive interference cancellation (SIC).

The typical Differential Global Navigation Satellite System service of South Korea is the Ground Based Differential GNSS service. South Korea building the Satellite-Based Augmentation System for GNSS to expand the Differential GNSS service. The satellite-based differential GNSS serive is called the SBAS(Satellite Based Augmentation System). The SBAS reference station on ground should be installed to operate the SBAS service alike the ground based augmentation system. That SBAS reference station can be installed with ground based DGNSS reference station. To make the SBAS reference station combined with the ground based DGNSS reference station, DGNSS system should be connected to NovAtel's G-III receiver. In this paper, the DGNSS software reference station's software module architecture was changed and G-III interface module was designed to use the G-III receiver.

This paper describes the optimization of the spectrum sensing in terms of the throughput of the cognitive radio (CR)system. The conventional rapers do not describe the optimization problem of the spectrum sensing by considering the channel search and channel move of the CR system to be caused by the appearance of the incumbent user. However this paper evaluates the throughput of the CR user by considering the situations such as the channel search and channel move additionally. Also, this paper suggests the sensing structure being separated the data receiver from sensing receiver, and compares the sensing performance for the same receiver structure of sensing and communication with that for the separated sensing receiver in terms of the throughput of the CR user. The numerical result demonstrates that the performance of the throughput efficiency is improved by the proposed sensing receiver to be separated from the data communication path.

We have implemented receiver for a 3 Dimensional Phased-Array Radar detecting the azimuth angle, the altitude, the range of a target on real time. This system consists of high frequency module, which protects receiver and controls sensitivity, intermediate frequency module, monopulse detector, IQ phase detector, AGC controller. A two-channel receiver with same function is implemented for increasing accuracy of target altitude data by amplitude comparison monopulse method. The TSS sensitivity of the receiver is -98dBm. The bandwidth of the receiver is 500 MHz. We can control the system gain manually by 100 dB when be AGC off. The gain and phase unbalance of two channels is 5 dB and 30 degree, respectively. The image rejection rate of the IQ detector is 30 dB. We used duroid substrate and package- type device.

In this paper, it is derived the system design parameters for the J-STD-018 of the PCS mobile station(MS) minimum performance using DS/CDMA analyzed the system performance due to the receiver components. The simulation shows the selectivity is -70.96dB at 1.25MHz frequency offset from the carrier frequency while the MS noise figure to satisfy J-STD-018 is 10dB and the input 3rd harmonics intercept point of the MS class I and MS class II-V is -9.5dBm and -14dBm respectively. When the interference power level at the receiver is small, the receiver has better performance as we increase the gain of LNA. However, when the interference level at the receiver is large, the receiver performance is decreased by the effect of the spurious. Thus, the effectiveness of LNA On/Off switching technique is proved as to reduce the effect of the spurious.

In the Internet of Things (IoT) era, objects are connected to each other by wired and wireless networks, and information is exchanged whenever necessary. Channel and network environments change over time; thus, a carrier sensing function that identifies whether signals containing information are present in the channel is essential. The carrier sensing circuit of a wireless communication system determines the receiver sensitivity, and the receiver sensitivity is closely related to the service coverage and service quality of the system. As the receiver sensitivity decreases, the service coverage increases but it becomes sensitive to noise. However, as the receiver sensitivity increases, the service coverage decreases but it becomes insensitive to the noise. Therefore, carrier sensing design and optimization are very important from the viewpoint of the receiver sensitivity and noise sensitivity. This paper proposes an effective carrier sensing technique from the viewpoint of the receiver sensitivity for the long range IoT.

Thickness of concrete lining, voids at the back of lining or shotcrete are very important elements for inspecting the safety of tunnels. Therefore, the inspection of tunnel lining structure means to investigate the inner layer boundaries of the structure. For this purpose, seismic reflection survey is the most desirable method if it works in good conditions. However, the conventional seismic reflection method can not be properly used for investigating thin layers in the lining structure. In other words, to detect the inner boundaries, it is desirable for the wavelength of source to be less than the thickness of each layer and for the receiver to be capable of detecting high frequency(ultrasonic) signals. To this end, new appropriate source and receiver devices should be developed above all for the ultrasonic reflection survey. This paper deals primarily with the development of source and receiver devices which are essential parts of field measuring system. Interests are above all centered in both the radiation pattern, energy, frequency content of the source and the directional sensitivity of the receiver. With these newly devised ones, ultrasonic physical modeling has been performed on 3-D physical model composed of bakelite, water-proof and concrete, The measured seismograms showed a clear separation of wave arrivals reflected from each layer boundary. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that reflection events from the bottom of concrete below water-proof could be also observed. This result demonstrates the usefulness of the both devices that can be applied to benefit the ultrasonic reflection survey. Future research is being focus on dealing with at first an optimal configuration of source and receiver devices well coupled to tunnel wall, and further an efficient data control system of practical use.
