Abstract

The symbol rate which is the main feature of NRZ information signal is detected by DAM (Delay-And-Multiplier) receiver. It is important for secure communication to reduce the normalized output SNR which is calculated at the DAM output as a measure of detectability. In this paper, we use the signal which is modulated by the class of MSK modulation schemes as the input signal of the DAM receiver for analyzing LPI performance and the GMSK(BT=0.3) used in GSM system is highlighted. Consequently, GMSK which has better bandwidth efficiency than other modulation schemes(BPSK, QPSK, OQPSK, and MSK) has better LPI performance compared with other ones. To compare the performances of each modulation scheme fairly, the transmitted powers of each system are set to be same within useful bandwidth.

NRAZ 정보 신호의 기본적인 특징인 symbol rate를 검출하기 위해서는 비선형 특성을 가는 DAM (Delay-And-Multiplier) 수신시를 이용한다. 검출 성능의 척도는 DAM 수신기 출력단에서 얻어지는 rate-line 의 정규화된 SNR 이 주로 사용되며, 비화 통신에서는 LPI(Low Probability of Intercept)를 위하여 이를 낮추어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 DAM 수신기에 대한 LPI 성능을 분석하기 위해 입력 신호로 MSK 계열의 변조된 신호를 사용하였다. 특히, GSM 시스템에 사용되는 GMSK(BT=0.3)을 중심으로 분석하였다. 결과적으로, 대역 효율이 우수한 GMSK 변조 방식이 BPSK, QPSK, OQPSK , 그릭 MSK 변조 방식과 비교하여 좋은 LPI 성능을 갖는다. 분석의 공정성을 위하여 사용대역 내에서의 송신전력을 같게 하였다.
