Abstract

This paper describes what brings about DC offset and the impact or the DC offset on the performance or direct-conversion mobile receiver in WCDMA system. The performance degradation of $E_{b}/N_{o}$ due to the DC offset is presented through simulation result. Direct-conversion RF Transceiver which has the function of DC offset control is implemented and then applied to the WCDMA test-bed for the performance evaluation. The receiver performance degradation of $E_{c}/I_{o}$ is evaluated and analyzed by varying DC offset value. The practical test showed the minimum requirement of DC offset value to meet system performance.

본 논문에서는 WCDMA단말기 직접변환 수신기에서 DC 오프셋 발생원인과 DC 오프셋에 의한 시스템 성능열화에 대해 언급하고, QPSK(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying)변조 방식에서 DC오프셋 값에 의한 성능 열화를 시뮬레이션을 통해 확률 오류에 대한 $E_{b}/N_{o}$ 값으로 나타내었다. DC 오프셋 제어 회로를 추가한 단말기 직접변환 RF 트랜시버 보드를 구현하여 WCDMA(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) 테스트 베드를 구축하고, DC 오프셋 변화량에 따른 복조기 수신 성능을 $E_{c}/I_{o}$ 값을 이용하여 평가 및 분석하였다. 분석 및 시스템 시험 결과를 통해 시스템 성능열화 방지를 위한 DC 오프셋 관련 최소 성능 요구규격을 제시하였다.
