We propose an optimal number of transmit antennas which maximizes energy-efficiency (EE) in multi-user massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) downlink system with the maximal ratio transmission (MRT) precoding. With full channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT), we find a closed form solution by partial differential function with proper approximations using average channel gain, independence of individual channels, and average path loss. With limited feedback, we get a solution numerically by the bisection with approximations in the same manner, and analyze an effect of feedback bits on the optimal number of transmit antennas. Simulation results show that the optimal numbers of transmit antenna getting from proposed closed form solution and exhaustive search are nearly same.

Unitary matrix modulation (UMM) is investigated in multiple antennas system that is called unitary space-time modulation (USTM). When we consider only diagonal components of UMM with splitting over the coherence bandwidth, the system can obtain frequency diversity in a single antenna system. In Rayleigh fading channel, we compared USTM/OFDM with 2Tx-antenna with UMM-S/OFDM with 1Tx-antenna, conventional multi-level OFDM and UMM-S/OFDM with changing bit rate per Hz. Also, we analyzed SNR for between multi-level modulation STBC/OFDM and multi-level modulation UMM-S/OFDM with changing transmission rate. When it was adaptive multi-level modulation to improve SNR, we did the UMM-S/OFDM system performance analysis of N-ary PSK and M-ary QAM.

차세대 이동통신 무선 채널모델이란 무선 인터페이스 구간 내에서의 신호 처리 모델로서 이동통신 시스템 개발에 필요한 알고리듬 구현 기술의 검증에 사용된다. 다중 안테나 사용의 중요성이 제기되기 이전에는 주로 전파 채널(propagation channel)에 관한 물리 현상의 분석이 무선 채널 모델의 주류를 이루었으나 전송속도의 증가 및 전송용량 증가를 위한 다중안테나사용이 본격화 되면서 안테나를 포함한 공간 채널(spatial channel)의 수학적 표현 및 전파현상 분석이 이동통신 시스템 개발에 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 본 고에서는 최근 WINNER 등에서 제시하는 B3G(Beyond 3G) 시스템 개발을 위한 채널 모델링 과정과 대표적인 다중 안테나 무선공간 채널모델 연구의 현황을 소개하며, 또한 차세대 이동통신을 위한 채널 모델링의 주요 연구 이슈를 소개한다.

This paper proposes a packet detection algorithm for IEEE802.11n system. IEEE802.11n is a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system and we have to consider several combining techniques which are used in multiple receive antenna system. In this paper, we propose a hybrid packet detection algorithm which combines double sliding window algorithm or delay and correlation algorithm, that is used in single input single output (SISO) system, and multiple receive antenna combining algorithms, and simulated their performances in Iin system environments and shows the results.

최근 채널 효율을 향상시키기 위하여 다중안테나(MIMO, multi-input multi-output) 기술이 연구되고 있다. 다중안테나 기술은 송 수신 안테나 개수를 증가시켜 수신 성능을 향상시키고 대역 효율을 향상시키지만 송신 안테나 개수를 늘려야만 대역 효율을 증가시킬 수 있으므로 기존 방송 시스템에 적용하기에는 비용이 많이 드는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 논문은 방송 시스템에 적합한 SIMO(single-input multi-output) 시스템에 FTN(faster than Nyquist)을 적용하여 대역 효율을 증가시키고 수신 성능을 향상시키고자 한다. 또한 MRC(maximum ratio combining) 및 경판정(hard decision)을 적용하여 수신 안테나 개수에 따른 수신 성능을 컴퓨터 실험을 통하여 알아본다.

This paper proposes a hybrid symbol offset estimation algorithm for MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) OFDM system. As MIMO OFDM systems are multiple transmitter and receiver antenna systems, apart from SISO(Single Input Single Output) system, it is possible to use several combining techniques which are used in multiple receive antenna system. In this paper, we propose hybrid symbol offset estimation algorithms using combining techniques in multiple receive antenna systems, simulate and show the performances in MIMO system environments. The proposed equal gain combining correlation algorithm has better performance 1.8 times in searching the ideal symbol offset rather than the conventional early symbol offset algorithm in severe ISI channel.

In this paper, we propose a multiple dual-polarized antenna system for multi-user transmission in line-of-sight (LoS) dominant channel environments. By exploiting space and polarization resources efficiently, the proposed system achieves a higher sum rate than the existing multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) system with uni-polarized antennas.

MC-CDMA and OFDM are digital modulation techniques where a single data symbol is transmitted at multiple subcarriers which we orthogonal to each other. With this technique, frequency diversity can be achieved. The performance of multi currier systems is analyzed. when data is transmitted over multi-path Rayleigh fading channel. The performance of this technique, gauged by the average bit error rate, is numerically analyzed for the system with the application of antenna diversity.

In this paper, a multimode feed horn antenna is suggested for a high power microwave(HPM) antenna system. The proposed HPM feed horn antenna which is connected with a mode converter is located between source and reflector antenna. A multimode feed horn antenna which has reduced -25 dB beamwidth is designed and fabricated for miniaturization of reflector antenna because -25 dB beamwidth which is determined by considering spillover of feed horn antenna decides a size of reflector in case of HPM. As a result, feed system which uses the multimode feed horn antenna has high gain about 27 dBi and return loss is less than -22 dB at 10 GHz. The measured -25 dB beamwidths of the radiation pattern at vertical, horizontal-plane equal to $20.24^{\circ},\;28.92^{\circ}$ which is less than about $10^{\circ}$ beamwidth of conventional feed system. Thus the suggested feed hem antenna is suitable to feed horn for miniaturization of HPM antenna system.
