In this paper, a supervised adaptive equalization algorithm based on probability density function (PDF) matching method is introduced and its decision-feedback version is proposed for underwater communication channels with strong impulsive noise and severe multipath characteristics. The conventional least mean square (LMS) algorithm based on mean squared error (MSE) criterion has shown to be incapable of coping with impulsive noise and multipath effects commonly shown in underwater communications. The linear PDF matching algorithm, which shows immunity to impulsive noise, however, has revealed to yield unsatisfying performance under severe multipath environments with impulsive noise. On the other hand, the proposed nonlinear PDF matching algorithm with decision feedback proves in the simulation to possess superior robustness against impulsive noise and multipath characteristics of underwater communication channels.

Analog communication systems using AM, FM modem have been developed. Digital communication systems using digital modems, which is by expansion of digital hardware skill have been recently developed. In order to accomplish a reliable communication it is important to overcome ocean environmental channel characteristics such as transmission loss, ambient noise and multipath effect etc. Specially, the effect of multipath is the most important element that determines the performance of underwater communication system in shallow water. Multipath channel can be divided a vertical and horizontal channel. the former is defined the channel to have large path-delay times between a direct wave and reflected waves. The latter shows relatively small path-delay times between a direct and reflected waves in compared with a vertical channel. In this paper, The performance of FSK, PSK and DPSK modem with respect to the vertical and horizontal multipath communication channels it described and compared.

본 논문에서는 다중 경로 페이딩 채널에서 최대 다중 경로 지연폭이 한 비트 폭보다 큰 경우 발생할 수 있는 심볼간 간섭을 극복하기 위해 M-ary 신호 방식과 절환 신호 방식을 채용한 다중 경로 다이버시티 수신 noncoherent F나 ds / SSMA 통신 시스템의 평균 오율을 평가하였다. 시스템의 평균 오율은 가우스 근사법을 이용해 채널 파라메타와 PN 시퀀스의 길이와 같은 시스템 파라메타에 대한 식으로 표현하였고, 이러한 결과식을 이용해 M-ary FSK 시스템과 두 종류의 절환 수신기에 대한 FSK시스템의 평균 오율을 수치적으로 분석하였다.

다중경로 채널의 시변 특성은 OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 신호의 직교성을 파괴시키며 이는 인접 채널간 간섭(ICI: interchannel interference)을 발생시켜 도플러 주파수에 비례하는 오류를 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 채널 시변의 원인을 주파수 옵셋과 도플러효과로 규정하고, 주파수 옵셋을 보정하기 위해 기존의 선형보간법(LI: linear interpolation method)대신 선형위상보간법(LPI: linear phase interpolation)과 도플러효과에 의한 ICI 를 제거하기 위해 기존의 주파수영역 등화기법보다 효과적인 시간영역 등화기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법이 주파수 옵셋이 있는 시변 다중경로 페이딩 환경에서 OFDM 시스템에 적합함을 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해 확인한다.

In this paper, the bit error ratio(BER) performance of multi-carrier CDMA system in multi-user/multi-path environment is analytically derived, and effect of interferences due to multi-user, multi-carrier, multi-path is analyzed. A multi-carrier/multi-user/multi-path joint detection scheme incorporating a decorrelating detector is proposed, and its performance as well as the enhancement of noise due to decorrelating process are analyzed. BER of the proposed joint detection scheme is only slightly degraded compared to the ideal case of single user environment.

In this paper, the multipath effect on underwater acoustic channel bandwidth and BFSK and BPSK bit error dependancy on channel bandwidth are analyzed. The multipath is modeled as a discrete multipath and a continuous multipath and the channel bandwidth is expressed as a function of multipath delay spread constant. Bit error characteristics on the channel bandwidth and the criteria of the multipath delay spread constant are found through the numerical simulation. The transmission bit rate of less than 100bps in the water tank which has a channel bandwidth of 100Hz, is a consistent result with the numerical simulation.

In this paper, we compare the performance of asynchronous W-CDMA system with different bandwidth. We take into consideration of wideband multipath channel environment which consists of discrete multipath components whose strength is Rayleigh distributed. Each CDMA system different bandwidth experience different effects of multipath because there are different number of multipath within one chip duration according to the spreading bandwidth. We derive the average error probability versus the capacity, and compare the capacity of W-CDMA systems using the RAKE receiver with EGC diversity.

Generally, multi-path is viewed as an undesirable feature of wireless communications. Therefore, diversity reception and adaptive array schemes are proposed to mitigate its effects. Recently, to increase the spectrum efficiency and the link reliability, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) scheme is devised to exploit multi-path in a scattering wireless channel. In this paper, we have evaluated the channel capacity of MIMO Multi-Carrier CDMA system in path correlation fading channel. And, the channel capacity of MIMO system is compared with single-input single-output (SISO) system. From the results, the MIMO multi-carrier CDMA system with path correlation yields better performance with respect to channel capacity than a SISO system.

ATSC 방식을 사용하는 DTV 수신기는 심볼 타이밍 동기를 맞추기 위해 77.3㎲마다 존재하는 세그먼트 싱크를 이용한 방법 또는 가드너 알고리즘을 사용한다. 이 중 가드너 알고리즘을 사용하는 방법은 다중 경로 채널 환경으로 인해 타이밍 옵셋이 발생한다. DTV 수신 채널 환경이 많은 수의 다중 경로 신호를 포함하고 있기 때문에 가드너 알고리즘을 사용한 DTV 수신기는 타이밍 옵셋이 발생한다. 이 타이밍 옵셋은 샘플링 순간을 잘못된 시점으로 옮기기 때문에 등화기의 성능이 열화된다. 다중 경로 채널 환경에서 등화기의 성능을 최적화하는 샘플링 순간은 주 경로 신호의 크기가 최대가 되는 점이다. 본 논문에서는 타이밍 옵셋 보상기를 사용하여 샘플링 순간을 주 경로 신호의 최대점으로 옮겨 타이밍 옵셋을 보상하고 등화기로 입력되도록 하여 DTV 수신 성능을 개선하였다. 타이밍 옵셋 보상기는 채널 상관기, 최대점 탐색기, 타이밍 보상용 보간 필터로 구성되어 있다. 타이밍 옵셋 보상기와 등화기를 연계 실험하여 성능 향상을 분석하였다.

Increasing throughput using high order data modulations in the WCDMA downlink requires the elimination of multipath interferences. For this reason, Kenichi Higuchi proposed a multipath interference canceller in WCDMA downlink. However, this paper considers the downlink signal models that only contains code channels for which code information is known to the receiver. WCDMA systems contain code channels for other active users whose code information is unknown to the receiver and these code channels degrade the performance of the multipath interference canceller. Thus, this paper proposes a multipath interference mitigation scheme which removes multipath interference induced by all the code channels within a cell. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms both the RAKE receiver and the multipath interference canceller in the WCDMA downlink.
