In this paper, binary pulse-position modulation (2PPM) time-hoping (TH) ultra-wideband (UWB) system is applied to multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system using vertical bell lab layered space-time (V-BLAST) structure to achieve high-data-rate communications. This UWB-MIMO system and its receivers are analyzed, and its BER performances are evaluated. In the receiver, various MIMO detection algorithms such as zero-forcing (ZF), ZF-ordered successive interference cancellation (OSIC), minimum-mean-square-error (MMSE), MMSE-OSIC and maximum likelihood (ML) are comparatively studied.

This paper proposes a full wave mode ZVT-PWM boost converter. The converter with the auxiliary switch in a full wave mode makes possible soft switching operation of all switches including the auxiliary switch whereas the auxiliary switch is turned off with hard switching in the conventional converter. Therefore, the proposed converter reduces the turn-off switching loss and switching noise of the auxiliary switch without additional passive and/or active elements and high power density system can be realized.

3-레벨 ZVS PWM DC/DC 컨버터는 풀브리지 ZVS PWM DC/DC 컨버터와 같은 동작 특성을 가지면서 입력전압의 반을 스위칭 소자의 차단전압으로 갖기 때문에 높은 입력을 갖는 DC-DC 변환시스템에 적합한 구조라 할 것이다. 그러나 부유 인덕턴스의 영향으로 인한 내외측 소자간의 차단전압 불균형의 문제와 경부하에서 영전압 스위칭 동작을 하지 못하므로 부하범위가 작다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이와 같은 문제점들은 시스템의 신뢰도를 낮추며, 경부하로 갈수록 효율을 떨어뜨리게 된다. 철도 차량과 같은 고압, 대용량의 시스템에서 이러한 문제들은 더욱 두드러 진다. 본 논문에서는 내외측 소자간의 차단전압 불균형의 문제를 없애며, 무부하에서 전부하까지 모든 부하 영역에서 영전압 스위칭 동작을 할 수 있는 새로운 3-레벨 ZVS PWM DC/DC 컨버터를 제시한다. 제안한 회로의 동작 특성과 타당성을 시뮬레이션 및 실험 결과를 통하여 입증한다.

In this paper, a new active snubber circuit that overcomes most of the drawbacks of the normal "zero voltage transition pulse width modulation" (ZVT-PWM) converter is proposed to contrive a new family of ZVT- PWM converter. A converter with the proposed snubber circuit can also operate at light load conditions. A design procedure of the proposed active snubber circuit is also presented. Additionally, at full output power in the proposed soft switching converter, the main switch loss is about 27[%] and the total circuit loss is about 36[%] of that in its counterpart hard switching converter, and so the overall efficiency, which is about 91[%] in the hard switching case, increases to about 97[%].

A three-level inverter is widely used thanks to its excellent performances, but the voltage may fluctuate at the neutral point of the split DC-Link. Neutral point voltage fluctuations cause inverter performance degradation and switching element damage, so the neutral point voltage control is essential. However, the neutral point control can be also limited by modulation index and power factor. This paper analyzes the limitation of the neutral point voltage control due to the limitation of zero-sequence voltage, and suggests a method to determine the region where the PWM has to be changed for a better neutral point control.

TCM(Trellis-Coded Modulation)은 대역폭과 전력이 제한된 채널환경에서 채널부호화 기술과 변조기술을 결합시켜 대역폭의 증가없이 에러정정능력을 개선시키는 통신 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 TCM 신호의 복호시 사용되는 Viterbi decoder에서 traceback depth의 감소에 따른 BER(Bit Error Rate)의 증가를 개선하기 위해 수신부에서 설정하는 traceback depth를 주기로 blocking하여 TCM encoder의 입력시퀀스에 zero padding bits를 추가시키는 새로운 알고리듬을 제안한다. 모의실험결과, traceback depth가 50인 hard decision의 경우 약 2~2.5dB, 4-level soft decision과 8-level soft decision의 경우 약 0.3~2dB의 coding gain을 얻을 수 있었다.

An interleaved DC/DC converter with series-connected transformers is presented to implement the features of zero voltage switching (ZVS), load current sharing and ripple current reduction. The proposed converter includes two half-bridge converter cells connected in series to reduce the voltage stress of the switches at one-half of the input voltage. The output sides of the two converter cells with interleaved pulse-width modulation are connected in parallel to reduce the ripple current at the output capacitor and to achieve load current sharing. Therefore, the size of the output chokes and the capacitor can be reduced. The output capacitances of the MOSFETs and the resonant inductances are resonant at the transition instant to achieve ZVS turn-on. In addition, the switching losses on the power switches are reduced. Finally, experiments on a laboratory prototype (24V/40A) are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed converter.

This paper presents and analyses the closed-form expression of the average bit error rate (BER) for an asynchronous direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) system with coherent binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation scheme using a maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity over a Rician fading channel. In addition to the average BER, outage probability, and user capacity of system are estimated as performance measures. The results are general enough so that it includes Rayleigh fading and nonfading channel with zero and infinite Rician factor, respectively, as special cases. The effects of various channel models, processing gains, and diversity orders on the system performances are also considered for the typical multipath delay profiles characterized by Rician fading channel.

As a part of trajectory modulation to increase system survivability and terminal effectiveness, impact angle control is required in the terminal phase of tactical missile systems. The missile systems are not allowed to have high altitude to reduce probability of detection by sensors of missile defense systems. In this paper, an analytic form of a time-optimal control law is suggested in the case of constrained missile maneuverability and impact angle under the assumption of a zero-lag autopilot. The control law is obtained by establishing optimal missile-target engagement geometry in the vertical plane. Extension of the law for missiles with autopilot response lags requiring a numerical solution is studied by introducing an iterative algorithm for optimal switching time determination of which the initial switching instants are obtained from the analytic solution. Also suggested is a closed-form impact angle control law derived by an energy-optimal approach. The performances of the proposed guidance laws are evaluated by a series of computer runs.
