본 논문은 CMA 적응등화기에서 최소 disturbance 기법을 적용하여 진폭과 위상의 동시 보상이 가능한 ECMA (Enchanced CMA) 알고리즘의 성능에 관한 것이다. ECMA는 적응등화기 탭 계수의 변화량을 squared euclidean norm 관점에서 최소화하는 최소 disturbance 기법과 decision directed mode에 의한 gradient noise amplification 문제와 안정도 및 roburstness 성능을 알고리즘 연산량의 큰 증가없이 개선할 수 있고, 수신신호에서 진폭과 위상의 동시 보상이 가능하도록 새로운 비용함수를 제안하였다. 논문에서는 ECMA 알고리즘의 성능을 MCMA와 비교하기 위하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 수신측에서의 등화기 출력신호인 복원된 신호 성상도, 수렴 성능을 나타내는 성능지수인 잔류 isi 및 MD (Maximum Distortion), MSE 특성곡선과 채널과 등화기의 종합 주파수 특성을 성능 비교 지수로 사용하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 ECMA가 복원성상도에서 진폭과 위상보상 능력 및 적응등화를 위한 수렴시간에서 MCMA보다 우월함을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문은 다중 경로 페이딩과 대역폭 제한 특성을 갖는 채널에서 부호간 간섭을 제거시킬 수 있는 CMA 적응 등화기에서 위상 보상이 가능한 I-CMA (Improved-CMA) 알고리즘에 관한 것이다. 기존 CMA 알고리즘의 오차신호를 얻기 위한 비용 함수를 개량하여 진폭과 위상의 동시 제거가 가능토록 새로운 비용 함수가 제안되며 이의 성능을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 확인하였다. 알고리즘의 단순성과 등화 후 위상 보상을 위한 별도의 PLL을 제거할 수 있는 장점을 가지며, 이를 위해 수신측에서의 등화기 출력 신호인 복원된 신호 성상도, 수렴 성능을 나타내는 성능 지수인 잔류 isi 및 MD (Maximum Distortion) 특성 곡선과 채널과 등화기의 종합 주파수 특성을 사용하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 I-CMA가 복원 성상도에서 진폭과 위상 보상 능력이 CMA보다 우월하였지만, 수렴 시간에서는 동시 위상 보상으로 인하여 CMA보다 늦어짐을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문은 QAM 신호 전송시 부가 잡음, 부호간 간섭 및 페이딩등 비선형 통신 채널에서 발생되는 찌그러짐을 줄일 수 있는 mDSE-MMA (modified Dithered Signed Error-MMA) 적응 등화 알고리즘의 성능 평가에 관한 것이다. DSE-MMA 적응 등화 알고리즘은 기존 MMA의 연산량을 줄일 수 있지만, 이로 인하여 등화 성능의 열화되는 문제점이 있다. 이런 DSE-MMA의 성능 열화를 개선하기 위하여 mDSE-MMA는 적응을 위한 스텝 크기를 등화기의 출력이 송신 신호점을 중심으로 임의 반경내의 존재 여부에 따라 조절하게 된다. 제안 mDSE-MMA 알고리즘의 성능을 기존 DSE-MMA 알고리즘의 성능 평가를 위하여 동일한 채널과 잡음 환경하에서 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 이를 위한 지수로는 수신측에서의 등화기 출력 신호인 복원된 신호 성상도, 수렴 성능을 나타내는 잔류 isi, MD 및 MSE learning 곡선과 SER을 사용하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 모든 성능 지수에서 mDSE-MMA가 DSE-MMA 보다 우월함을 확인하였다.

Due to the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) modernization, recently launched GNSS satellites transmit signals at various frequency bands such as L1, L2 and L5. Considering the Korean Positioning System (KPS) signal and other GNSS augmentation signals in the future, there is a high probability of applying more complex communication techniques to the new GNSS signals. For the reason, GNSS receivers based on flexible Software Defined Radio (SDR) concept needs to be developed to evaluate various experimental communication techniques by accessing each signal processing module in detail. This paper proposes a novel SDR-based A-GNSS receiver capable of processing multi-GNSS/RNSS signals at multi-frequency bands. Due to the modular structure, the proposed receiver has high flexibility and expandability. For real-time implementation, A-GNSS server software is designed to provide immediate delivery of satellite ephemeris data on demand. Due to the sampling bandwidth limitation of RF front-ends, multiple SDRs are considered to process the multi-GNSS/RNSS multi-frequency signals simultaneously. To avoid the overflow problem of sampled RF data, an efficient memory buffer management strategy was considered. To collect and process the multi-GNSS/RNSS multi-frequency signals in real-time, the proposed SDR A-GNSS receiver utilizes multiple threads implemented on a CPU and multiple NVIDIA CUDA GPGPUs for parallel processing. To evaluate the performance of the proposed SDR A-GNSS receiver, several experiments were performed with field collected data. By the experiments, it was shown that A-GNSS requirements can be satisfied sufficiently utilizing only milliseconds samples. The continuous signal tracking performance was also confirmed with the hundreds of milliseconds data for multi-GNSS/RNSS multi-frequency signals and with the ten-seconds data for multi-GNSS/RNSS single-frequency 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.

Radio occultation (RO) technique has been used in planetary science since 1960s. When signal goes through atmosphere, it is refracted due to the gradient of atmospheric refractivity. In 1995, the first low earth orbit (LEO) satellite, MicroLab-1, was launched to conduct RO mission. It receives the signal from global positioning system (GPS) satellites. After MicroLab-1, other RO missions, such as CHAMP, SAC-C, and GRACE, are executed in several years later. In 2006, Taiwan launched six LEO satellites for RO mission. The mission name is Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate (COSMIC). Under some abnormal situations, multipath and strong fluctuation in phase and amplitude of the signal appear in moist troposphere. Therefore, open loop (OL) technique has been applied to replace traditional phase lock loop (PLL) technique. In this paper, we will summarize the retrieval processing procedure and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of OL technique.

Multi-code CDMA is an appropriate scheme for transmitting high rate data. However, dynamic range of the signal is large, and power amplifier with good linearity is required. Code select CDMA (CS/CDMA) is a variation of multi-code CDMA scheme that ensures constant amplitude transmission. In CS/CDMA input data selects multiple orthogonal codes, and sum of these selected codes are MPSK modulated to convert multi-level symbol into different carrier phases. CS/CDMA system employs level clipping to limit the number of levels at the output symbol to avoid hish density of signal constellation. In our previous work we showed that by encoding input data of CS/CDMA amplitude of the output symbol can be made constant. With this coding scheme, level clipping is not necessary and the output signal can be BPSK modulated for transmission. In this paper we show that the constant amplitude coded(CA-) CS/CDMA transmitter can be implemented using only logic gates, and the hardware complexity is very low. In the proposed transmitter architecture there is no apparent redundant encoder block which plays a major role in the constant amplitude coded CS/CDMA.

In the case of satellite navigation positioning, the shielding of satellite signals is determined by the environment of the region at which a user is located, and the navigation performance is determined accordingly. The accuracy of user position determination varies depending on the dilution of precision (DOP) which is a measuring index for the geometric characteristics of visible satellites; and if the minimum visible satellites are not secured, position determination is impossible. Currently, the GLObal NAvigation Satellite system (GLONASS) of Russia is used to supplement the navigation performance of the Global Positioning System (GPS) in regions where GPS cannot be used. In addition, the European Satellite Navigation System (Galileo) of the European Union, the Chinese Satellite Navigation System (BeiDou) of China, the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) of Japan, and the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) of India are aimed to achieve the full operational capability (FOC) operation of the navigation system. Thus, the number of satellites available for navigation would rapidly increase, particularly in the Asian region; and when integrated navigation is performed, the improvement of navigation performance is expected to be much larger than that in other regions. To secure a stable and prompt position solution, GPS-GLONASS integrated navigation is generally performed at present. However, as available satellite navigation systems have been diversified, finding the minimum satellite constellation combination to obtain the best navigation performance has recently become an issue. For this purpose, it is necessary to examine and predict the navigation performance that could be obtained by the addition of the third satellite navigation system in addition to GPS-GLONASS. In this study, the current status of the integrated navigation performance for various satellite constellation combinations was analyzed based on 2014, and the navigation performance in 2020 was predicted based on the FOC plan of the satellite navigation system for each country. For this prediction, the orbital elements and nominal almanac data of satellite navigation systems that can be observed in the Korean Peninsula were organized, and the minimum elevation angle expecting signal shielding was established based on Matlab and the performance was predicted in terms of DOP. In the case of integrated navigation, a time offset determination algorithm needs to be considered in order to estimate the clock error between navigation systems, and it was analyzed using two kinds of methods: a satellite navigation message based estimation method and a receiver based method where a user directly performs estimation. This simulation is expected to be used as an index for the establishment of the minimum satellite constellation for obtaining the best navigation performance.

The Nakagami m-distribution is used to model different fading environments and shown to fit experimental resutls more accurately than other distributions. In this paper, the probability of symbol error for M-ary QAM with square signal constellation in frequency-nonselective shlow Nakagami fading and additive white Gaussian noise is derived. When Nakagami fading index is integer, the derived resutls leads to the closed-form of a finite series.
