Abstract

As an FMT (Filtered Multi-Tone) transmission method of Wideband VHF communication system specified by the ETS (European Telecommunications Standards) EN 300 392-2, this paper introduces three existing realization methods, i.e., the direct filtering method using different band SRRC (Square-Root Raised Cosine) filters for each subcarrier, the PPN-DFT method using the IDFT-PPN (Poly-Phase Network) and PPN-DFT at the transmitter and receiver, respectively, and the Extended DFT method. Then, it proposes the extended IDFT-SDFT (Sliding Discrete Fourier Transform) that computes the DFT values only for interested subcarriers every sample time, and shows that it has an advantage of blind symbol timing (using no training symbol) individually for each user signal (independently of other users' signals) in the multi-user environment where the subcarriers are assigned in contiguous or interleaved blocks to each user and each user signal possibly experiences different channels.

본 논문에서는 ETS EN 300 392-2에 기반을 둔 Wideband VHF 통신시스템의 FMT (Filtered Multi-Tone) 전송방식으로서, 기존의 세 가지 구현 방법, 즉 각 부반송파 별로 대역이 다른 SRRC (Square-Root Raised Cosine) 필터를 사용하는 direct filtering 방식과, 송 수신측에서 각각 IDFT-PPN (Poly-Phase Network)와 PPN-DFT를 사용하는 PPN-DFT 방식, 그리고 이 두 가지 방식처럼 시간영역에서 필터링하는 대신 주파수영역에서 필터링하는 Extended IDFT-DFT 방식을 기술한다. 그리고, 수신측에서 관심있는 부반송파들만에 대한 DFT값들을 매 샘플시점마다 계산하는 Extended DFT-SDFT (Sliding Discrete Fourier Transform) 방식을 제안하고, 다중 사용자에게 부반송파가 할당되고 각 사용자 신호가 서로 다른 채널을 통해 전송되는 환경에서 이 방식이 각 사용자 신호에 대해 개별적으로 (다른 사용자 신호들에 상관없이) 훈련 심볼을 사용하지 않는 블라인드 심볼 타이밍의 강점이 있다는 것을 보여준다.
