Abstract

To overcome the limit of the time-domain based channel estimation caused by the ADC speed, this paper present a new BPM-UWB receiver where the channel estimations and the compensations are digitally performed in the frequency domain. We theoretically show that the channel estimation can be accomplished by exploiting the periodicity of a training sequence consisting of finite number of pulses. We also present the digital receiver structure to implement the proposed system and derive its BER performances. Through computer simulations, we show the proposed receiver can dramatically improve the BER performances due to the incorporation of the estimated channel frequency response.

본 논문은 ADC(analog-to-digital converter)의 속도에 의한 시간 영역에서 채널 추정 한계를 극복하기 위해서 트레이닝(training) 신호의 주파수 성분을 이용해서 다중경로 채널을 추정하고 이를 이용해서 채널 왜곡을 보상하는 BPM(biphase modulation)-UWB 수신기를 제안한다. 여러 개의 펄스로 구성된 펄스열의 주기적인 특성을 이용해서 효과적으로 채널 추정이 가능함을 수학적으로 보인다. 또한 추정된 채널 주파수 응답 정보를 이용해서 시스템 성능을 최적화시킬 수 있는 디지털 수신부 구조를 제시하며 BER성능을 유도한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제시된 방법이 다중경로 채널을 보상함으로써 수신기의 BER성능이 획기적으로 개선됨을 보인다.
