A numerical and experimental studies are carried out to investigate the transient heat transfer characteristics of 5kWth dish type solar air receiver. Measured solar radiation and temperatures at several different locations are used as boundary conditions for numerical simulation. Many parameters' effects (reflectivity of the reflector, the thermal conductivity of the receiver body, transmissivity of the quartz window, etc.) on the thermal performance are investigated. Discrete Transfer Method is used to calculate the radiation heat exchange in the receiver. A transient heat transfer model is developed and the rate of radiation, convection and conduction heat transfer are calculated. Comparing the experimental and numerical results, good agreement is obtained. Using the numerical model, the transient heat transfer characteristics of volumetric air receiver for dish type solar thermal systems are known and the transient thermal performance of the receiver can be estimated.

DAHAN, the first 1 MWe Solar Power Tower system locates north to Beijing where nearby The Great Wall is now under construction with cooperation between China and Korea. Results in predicting the preliminary performance of this central receiver system are presented in this paper. Operating cycles under some typical weather condition days are simulated and commented. These results can be used to assess the impact of alternative plant designs or operating strategies on annual energy production, with the final objective being to optimize the design of central receiver power plants. Two subsystems are considered in the system simulation: the solar field and the power block. Mathematic models are used to represent physical phenomena and relationships so that the characteristics of physical processes involving these phenomena can be predicted. Decisions regarding the best position for locating heliostats relative to the receiver and how high to place the receiver above the field constitute a multifaceted problem. Four different kinds of field layout are designed and analyzed by the use of ray tracing and mathematical simulation techniques to determine the overall optical performance ${\eta}_{field}$ and the spillage ${\eta}_{spill}$.The power block including a Rankine cycle is analyzed by conventional energy balance methods.

In this paper, a new spectrum sensing method based on energy detection is proposed and analyzed in a cognitive radio(CR) system. We employ a delay diversity receiver for sensing the primary user's spectrum with reasonable cost and complexity. Conventional CR with the receiver equipping multiple antennas requires additional hardware and space for installing multiple antennas in accordance with increase in the number of antennas. If the number of antennas increases, detection probability as well as hardware complexity and cost rise. Then, it is difficult to make a primary user detector practically. Therefore, we adopt a delay diversity receiver for solving problems of the conventional spectrum detector utilizing multiple antennas. We derive analytical expressions for the spectrum sensing performance of the proposed system. From the simulation results, it is demonstrated that the primary user detector with the delay diversity receiver has almost half the complexity and shows similar or improved performance as compared with that employing multiple antennas. Therefore, the proposed spectrum sensing structure can be a practical solution for enhancing the detection capacity in CR system operations. The results of this paper can be applied to legacy CR systems with simple modifications.

The ATS system is used to provide wayside signaling. Currently, the oscillation frequency is set at 78[kHz] in the normal state. As the on-board receiver crosses over the wayside transmitter, the oscillation frequency is changed by capacitors of the wayside transmitter in a manner dependent on the train speed. As the oscillation frequency is changed, the waveform is modified in the wayside transmitter as well as in the on-board receiver. When there are other signal systems such as a ATO system present near the wayside transmitter, frequency interference occurs. This phenomenon arises since other signals or communication frequencies present will be included in the waveform. Trains often stop due to these other frequencies included in the waveform. In this paper, a model of the interaction between the wayside transmitter and on-board receiver is suggested and frequency response in the wayside transmitter and on-board receiver in the presence of the other signals are estimated by the coupling coefficient. Also, the coupling coefficients are estimated, and the optimal value is proposed.

가시광 무선 통신은 반도체로 제조된 LED (light emitted diode)의 발광을 제어하여 데이터를 송신하고, 수광 소자인 PD (photo diode)를 통하여 데이터를 수신하는 차세대 무선통신 기술이다. 가시광 무선 통신 시스템의 전송 능력은 LED의 발광 세기, PD의 수신 감도, 송수신기 간의 거리 및 송수신기가 이루는 수신각에 의해 결정된다. 특히, 수신기의 수직적 및 수평적 이동에 따라 송수신기가 거리와 수신각의 변화가 발생하고, 이러한 변화는 수신기의 수신 감도에 영향을 주어 시스템의 전송 능력이 저하될 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 실내 가시광 무선 통신 시스템에서 LED AP (access point)의 통신 영역 내 수신 광도에 따른 위치별 수신 광도 특성화 곡선과 주기적으로 측정된 단말기의 수신 광도 변화를 비교하는 특징을 가진 단말기의 위치와 수신각 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 알고리즘에 대한 성능 분석을 위해 모의실험을 수행하였고, 그 결과 수신 광도 정보를 이용한 위치 및 수신각 추정이 가시광 무선통신 시스템의 성능을 향상 시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a system that can collect GPS L1 C/A, GLONASS G1, and BDS B1I signals with single front-end receiver was implemented using a universal software radio peripheral (USRP) and its performance was verified. To acquire the global navigation satellite system signals, hardware was configured using USRP, antenna, external low-noise amplifier, and external oscillator. In addition, a value of optimum local oscillator frequency was selected to sample signals from three systems with L1-band with a low sampling rate as much as possible. The comparison result of C/N0 between the signal collection system using the proposed method and commercial receiver using double front-end showed that the proposed system had 0.7 ~ 0.8dB higher than that of commercial receiver for GPS L1 C/A signals and 1 ~ 2 dB lower than that of commercial receiver for GLONASS G1 and BDS B1I. Through the above results, it was verified that signals collected using the three systems with a single USRP had no significant error with that of commercial receiver. In the future, it is expected that the proposed system will be combined with software-defined radio (SDR) and advanced to a receiver that has a re-configuration channel.

We treat the problem of channel estimation and interference cancellation in multiuser ultra-wide-band (UWB) communication systems over multipath fading channels. The UWB system under consideration employs a random time-hopping impulse radio format. We develop a channel estimation method based on linear weighted algorithm. An iterative channel estimation and interference cancellation scheme is proposed to successively improve the receiver performance. We also consider systems employing multiple transmit and/or receive antennas. For systems with multiple receive antennas, we develop a diversity receiver for the wellseparated antennas. For systems with multiple transmit antennas, we propose to make use of Alamouti’s space-time transmission scheme, and develop the corresponding channel estimation and interference cancellation receiver techniques. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the performance of various UWB receiver techniques developed in this paper.

The DAB system assures high quality audio services even when the reception is through portable and mobile receivers. In this paper, USB-DAB receiver and PCI-DMB receiver are designed and implemented. The DAB receiver and the DMB receiver incorporate with PC to make use of computational power and application software of Pc. This enables the developed system to be more flexible and to meet various applications easier.

단시간의 관측으로 해석이 가능한 고속스테틱 측량을 실시할 때에는 고가의 2주파 수신기가 필수적이었으나 최근에 이 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 GPS 측량기와 해석 소프트웨어가 개발되어 1주파형 GPS측량기를 이용한 고속스테틱 관측을 해석할 수 있게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 실제 현장실험을 통하여 단축스테틱 측량의 정밀도와 작업효율 등을 비교, 검토하여 공공기준점 측량에의 적용가능성을 제시하였다.
