The 8-VSB modulation, the transmission standard for the terrestrial digital television(DTV) of the Advanced Television Systems Committee(ATSC), suffers from multipath fading because it conveys information on the amplitude. To solve this problem, decision feedback equalizers(DFE's) have been commonly used in terrestrial DTV receivers. However, under severe channels, such as a 0 dB ghost channel or a single frequency network (SFN) channel, the DFE shows unstable convergence due to the error propagation caused by decision errors. Instead of unstable time-domain DFE schemes, by proposing a frequency-domain direct-inversion equalization method, we try to guarantee stable equalization and achieve low symbol error rates. To secure the existence of a channel inverse, channel-matched filtering and noncausal filtering are carried out prior to equalization. Simulation results show that the proposed method performs much better than existing DFE schemes in terms of both the stability and the symbol error rate.

통신 채널에서 블라인드 채널 등화는 훈련신호나 채널의 사전 정보가 필요하지 않기 때문에 전송 효율을 높일 수 있는 매우 중요한 문제이다. 선형 예측 오차 방법은 블라인드 등화기의 차수 추정 오차에 대하여 강인하며 적응 알고리듬을 이용하여 효율적으로 구현할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 시스템 지연은 등화기의 성능에 많은 영향을 끼치지만 기존의 one-step 선형 예측은 등화기의 임의의 시스템 지연에 대해서는 구현할 수 없는 단점이 있다. 순방향 선형 예측과 역방향 선형 예측은 각각 시스템 지연이 0과 최대인 블라인드 등화와 관련이 있다. 그러나 Multistep 예측은 임의의 시스템 지연을 갖는 블라인드 등화기를 구현할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 최적의 시스템 지연을 구한 후 RLS 알고리듬과 LMS 알고리듬을 이용한 multistep 선형 예측을 이용한 블라인드 채널 등화기를 제안하였다. 그리고 기존의 알고리듬들과 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리듬의 성능을 모의실험을 통하여 기존의 알고리듬들과 비교·평가하였다.

In this paper, channel equalization techniques for full-digital HDTV systems are investigated Conventional equalization methods are surveyed and several channel are modeled for computer simulation.

In this paper, fuzzy-ARTMAP equalizer is developed mainly for overcoming the obstacles, such as complexity and long training, in implementing the previously developed neural-basis equalizers. The proposed fuzzy-ARTMAP equalizer is fast and easy to train and includes capabilities not found in other neural network approaches a small number of parameters, no requirements for the choice of initial weights, no risk of getting trapped in local minima, and capability of adding new data without retraining previously trained data. In simulation studies, binary signals were generated at random from linear channel with Gaussian noise. The performance of the proposed equalizer is compared with other neural net basis equalizers, such as MLP and RBF equalizers. The fuzzy ARTMAP equalizer combines relatively simple structure and fast processing speed; it gives accurate results for nonlinear problems that cannot be solved with a linear equalizer.

An equalization technique for OFDM systems in tine variant fading environment is described. Time variant channels lead to interchannel interference which increases the bit mr rate. A frequency domain equalizer using pilot symbols is proposed. The equalizer decreases the interchannel interference affecting the error performance. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is analyzed via computer simulation.

본 논문에서는 빠르게 변화하는 이동 무선 채널 환경에서 심각한 성능 저하를 일으키는 인접 심볼 간섭(Inter-symbol interference: ISI)에 대처하기 위해 MLSE(Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimztion) 등화기의 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 기존의 MLSE 등화기는 비터비 알고리즘으로 어느 정도 계산량을 감소시켰지만, 정확한 채널 임펄스 응답을 필요로 하기 때문에, 시변 채널에서의 복잡한 채널 추정이 그 문제점으로 남아 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서, 간단하고 향상된 칼만 필터 기반의 채널 추정기를 새롭게 제안하여 MLSE의 복잡성을 줄였다. 또한, 복잡한 채널 추정을 대신하여 페이딩 채널을 거쳐 수신된 데이터를 클러스터로 매핑하여 클러스터 중심 추정을 이용한 1-D CBSE(1-Dimensional Clustering-based Sequence Equalizer) 알고리즘에, 최소 길이를 지닌 훈련 시퀀스를 제안하여 개선된 1-D CBSE을 이용한 MLSE 등화 성능을 보여주었다.

지상파 DTV 전송 시스템은 "training sequence"를 이용한 결정 궤환 등화기(DFE)를 사용한다. 이 등화기는 정적 다중경로 환경에서는 심볼 간의 간섭을 적절히 제거하는 반면, 동적 다중경로 환경에서는 "training sequence" 의 주기가 채널 효율 문제로 충분히 짧지 않기 때문에 충분히 제거하지 못하는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 이 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 "training sequence" 를 이용한 DFE와 선형 등화기, 블라인드 DFE와 선형 등화기 및 혼합형 DFE를 구현하여 정적 채널과 동적 채널에 대한 성능을 분석하였다.

In this paper, the efficient equalization method for OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiflexing) System using the QAM(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) in multipath fading channel is proposed in order to faster and more efficiently equalize the received signals that are sent over real channel. In generally, the one-tap linear equalizers have been used in the frequency-domain as the existing equalization method for OFDM system. In this technique, if characteristics of the channel are changed fast, the one-tap linear equalizers cannot compensate for the distortion due to time variant multipath channels. Therefore, in this paper, we use one-tap non-linear equalizers instead of using one-tap linear equalizers in the frequency-domain, and also use the linear equalizer in the time-domain to compensate the rapid performance reduction at the low SNR(Signal-to-Noise Ratio) that is the disadvantage of the non-linear equalizer. In the frequency-domain, when QAM signals, consisting of in-phase components and quadrature (out-phase) components, are sent over the complex channel, the only in-phase and quadrature components of signals distorted by the multipath fading are changed the same as signals distorted by the noise. So the cross components are canceled in the frequency-domain equalizer. The time-domain equalizer and the adaptive algorithm that has lower-error probability and fast convergence speed are applied to compensate for the error that is caused by canceling the cross components in the frequency-domain equalizer. In the time-domain, To compensate for the performance of frequency-domain equalizer the time-domain equalizes the distorted signals at a frame by using the Gold-code as a training sequence in the receiver after the Gold-codes are inserted into the guard signal in the transmitter. By using the proposed equalization method, we can achieve faster and more efficient equalization method that has the reduced computational complexity and improved performance.

Based on this article, I have analyzed the OFDM system which applies three types of equalizer forms in the two-path channel of the microwave baseband. The Two-path channel of microwave baseband had been simulated through the Rummler channel. In the Two-path channel, the OFDM system which has three forms of equalizer has been analyzed and the result is, equalizer 1-tab has great improvement in efficiency compared with Pre-FFT 11-tab which has noise power ratio less than 18dB. On the contrary, if the symbol energy to the noise ratio is more than 18dB, the equalizer which applies Pre-FFT 11-tab has greater efficiency compared to the equalizer which applies 1-tab frequency. Last but not least, the OFDM system which applies Dual equalizer has better efficiency compared to the system which has 1-tab frequency and equalizer which applies Pre-FFT 11-tab.
