Abstract

In order to increase the robustness of the uplink for UAS(Unmanned Aerial System), we propose a jamming signal rejection algorithm. In the UAS datalink system, DSSS (direct sequence spread spectrum) is used to reduce the radio noise or jamming signal. In general, jamming signals below the spreading gain are recoverable but the signals beyond the spreading gain can not be recovered. In this paper, these jamming signals beyond spreading gain are detected using the threshold detector in the spectrum area then, generate the estimated signals from the sine wave generator. Finally, we obtain the desired signal to remove jamming signals from the received signals. The proposed scheme can eliminate jamming signals while minimizing the hardware complexity and the original signal loss.

본 논문에서는 무인비행체를 실시간으로 제어 및 통제하는 무인항공시스템(Unmanned Aerial System, UAS)에서 상향링크의 강건성을 강화하기 위하여 재밍신호를 제거하는 기법을 제안한다. 일반적인 통신시스템에서는 노이즈 및 재밍신호의 영향을 최소화하기 위하여 대역확산기법을 적용하고 있으며 이러한 대역확산기법을 적용한 시스템에서는 확산이득으로 인한 재밍신호에 강인한 특성을 보인다. 그러나 확산이득을 넘어서는 재밍 및 잡음 신호에 대해서는 성능이 급격히 나빠지는 특성이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 확산이득을 넘어서는 재밍신호를 FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)변환을 통하여 주파수 영역에서 검출하고 시간영역에서 사인파 생성기로 추정된 재밍신호를 생성하여 원신호에서 재밍신호를 제거하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 하드웨어 복잡도가 낮으면서 원신호의 왜곡을 최소화하면서 재밍신호를 제거할 수 있다.
