This paper proposes pre-distorter combined LUT with 2ιpartition interpolation method to reduce nonlinear distortion which was caused by high PAPR and to update LUT quickly. Pre-distorted gain and phase can be found by using LUT which consisted of AM/AM and AM/PM value, and OFDM signal amplitude. The proposed 2ιpartition interpolation can accurately find predistorted gain and phase using bit shift and add component instead of increasing size of LUT which requires increasing the amount of computation. The performance of the proposed method was measured by the difference between HPA input and output characteristics by the LUT size, constellation, SER performance by the HPA, and LUT update error by the HPA characteristic changes. As a result, it is shown that when the size of the LUT is 32 and 64 for 16-QAM and 64-QAM, nonlinear distortion nearly didn't occurred.

In this paper, we propose a wireless modem, which used OFDM/64QAM method and the ISM band with 2.4GHz radio frequency. In this paper proposed the case of a modem, the main program to process the baseband processor, processing speed, operating voltage, and reliability should be ensured. So we have designed with Ralink's RT2870, witch was used for Wi-Fi solution. The RT2870 provides full support for wireless LAN standard, and supports various modulation formats, 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, both of which support chip. In this paper, we also output the modulated signal transmitted wirelessly to the 2.4GHz band RF RT2850 chip processing was applied and using 40MHz band 2.422 ~ 2.462GHz wireless bands were designed to occupy. By applying bi-directional transmission between wireless transmitter and receiver, it can be effectively connected with any kinds of wireless LAN with 2.4GHz ISM band. Therefore it could economically be used as peripheral equipments for POS system or personal wireless device based on Android platform.

This paper proposes Minimum Distance Searching Algorithm (MDSA) which reduces the computational complexity (CC) of the ML, the kind of Spatial Multiplexing (SM) MIMO system. The MDSA searchs candidate symbols with a starting symbol, which is called reference bits. We used the linear receiver of MIMO techniques to find a starting symbol. The MDSA searchs the shortest path to a transmitted symbol using reference bits and Minimum Distance(MD) concept. The CC of MDSA is reduced to the 0.21% to the ML as the transmit antennas is 4 in 16QAM. The simulation result shows the BER of MDSA is nearly same to the BER of ML as the transmit antennas is 2 and the receive antennas is 3 in 16QAM and slightly degraded to the BER of ML as the transmit antennas is 4 and the receive antennas is 6 in QPSK.

In this paper, various power delay profiles (PDP) are simulated to study the influence of the PDP shape on the bit error rate (BER) performance of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communication systems. Assuming Rayleigh fading with 16-QAM modulation scheme, the simulation focuses on the investigation of the various shapes of the PDP which are often characterized by peaks, slope, attenuation and distance of an echo profile of waves. This yields information about the properties of the channel, and can be applied to decide the performance of the systems according to the channel.

We investigate the OFDM-based wireless LAN systems operating in the 60 GHz frequency band as part of the fourth-generation (4G) systems. The 60 GHz band is of much interest since this is the band in which a massive amount of spectral space has been allocated worldwide for dense wireless local communications. This paper gives an overview of 60 GHz bandchannel characteristics and an effect on phase noise. The performance of OFDM system is severely degraded by the local oscillator phase noise, which causes both common phase error and inter-carrier interference. In this paper, we apply phase noise suppression (PNS) algorithm that is easy for implementation to OFDM based 60 GHz wireless LAM system and analyze the SER performance. In case of using the PNS algorithm, SER performance is improved about 6dB, 7.5dB, respectively in 16, 64-QAM.

최근 무선전송에서 SISO(single input singe output) 시스템의 전송률이 샤논 한계(Shannon limit)에 근접함에 따라, 이것을 극복하여 더 높은 데이터 전송률을 얻기 위해 MIMO(multiple input multiple output) 시스템에 대한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 현재 진행 중인 DVB-NGH 시스템 표준화에도 전송률 개선을 위해 MIMO SM(Spatial Multiplexing) 기술에 대해 고려하고 있으며, 방송 시스템 내 송수신 안테나들 간 상관(correlation)이 발생하는 경우에 성능 개선을 위해 Precoding과 MIMO SM을 결합한 $2{\times}2$ 구조의 MIMO SM 방법이 제안되었다. 이 방법은 두 개의 송신안테나에 모두 16QAM 신호가 전송되는 경우와 두 송신안테나에 각각 16QAM, QPSK 신호가 전송되는 경우를 포함하고 있다. 이때 고출력 증폭기(high power amplifier) 전단에서 두 송신 안테나에 서로 다른 변조가 적용되는 경우에 PAPR(peak-to-average power ratio)이 달라서 고출력 증폭기 출력단의 송신전력 차이로 인해 각 신호의 방송권역(coverage)이 같지 않은 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 $2{\times}2$ MIMO SM 방식에서 송신 안테나별로 신호의 변조방식이 서로 다른 경우에 송신신호의 PAPR을 같게 하여 증폭기 출력단에서 각 송신신호의 전력이 동일하게 할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 수신기의 복잡도를 증가시키지 않으면서 두 송신 신호의 방송권역을 동일하게 한다.

최근 ATSC방식의 디지털 방송에서 HD급의 3D 방송 서비스에 대한 관심이 증가 되고 있는 추세이다. HD급의 3D 방송 서비스(이하 3D HDTV)를 제공하기 위해 [2]에서는 ATSC 전송 시스템을 확장하고 BCH 부호와 IRA 타입의 LDPC를 사용하는 수정된 ATSC 전송 시스템을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 BCH와 IRA 타입의 LDPC 부호 대신 Reed Solomon 부호와 Block LDPC 부호를 사용하고 16QAM 변조를 사용하여 전송 용량을 증대할 수 있다는 사실을 확인하였다. AWGN 채널에서 모의 실험한 결과 BCH부호와 LDPC부호 및 4PAM을 적용한 수정된 ATSC 전송시스템의 TOV는 약 7dB로 19.33Mbps로 전송되지만[2] 본 논문에서 제안한 RS(207, 187)과 부호율 3/4인 Block LDPC 및 16QAM의 TOV는 약 5.4dB로 29Mbps로 전송되어 기존시스템에 비해 약1.5배의 전송 용량 증대가 가능한 것으로 확인되었다. 이로서 6MHz의 한정된 대역에서 HD급의 3D 방송서비스 실현이 한층 더 가까워지게 될 것으로 예상된다.

본 논문에서는 COFDM(Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템에서 각 부채널이 갖는 신호대 잡음의 양을 수신단이 측정할 수 있는 특징을 이용하여 콘볼루셔널 디코더 메트릭 계산에 반영함으로서 콘볼루셔널 디코더의 성능이 향상될 수 있는 방안을 제안한다. 이를 위하여 먼저 OFDM 시스템에서 각 부채널이 갖는 신호대 잡음의 양은 부채널에서의 수신신호 전력에 비례함을 보인다. 또한, 콘볼루셔널 디코더의 메트릭 계산방법으로는 연판정 방법을 사용한다. 이때 부채널에서 수신된 신호의 신뢰도로 하여 신뢰도가 떨어지는 수신신호에 대하여는 메트릭 계산 과정에서 영향을 감쇄시키고 신뢰도가 높은 수신신호는 영향을 증대시키도록 한다. 제안된 방법을 경수로 20이고 직접파가 없는 다중경로채널에 적용하여 모의실험한 결과 coherent QPSK 매핑방법을 사용한 COFDM 시스템에서 10-4 BER을 기준으로 할 때 약 1.1dB의 SNR 성능향상을 얻었으며 16-QAM 매핑방법에서는 약 3.1dB 그리고 64-QAM 매핑방법을 사용한 경우 약 6.0dB의 성능향상을 얻었다.

Recently, studies of 3D HDTV broadcasting technology have been processed actively. Korea is making efforts to modify Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 8-Vestigial Side Band (8-VSB) systems for terrestrial 3D HDTV broadcasting services. We intend to adopt a new frame structure to use PN (Pseudo-Noise) sequence as frame header, and VSB modulation. PN sequence is used to recover carrier freqeuncy offset, carrier phase error. In this paper, we will describe this system as the modified ATSC systems. The receiver of the modified ATSC system should be able to estimate and recover carrier frequency offset exactly. A existing ATSC systems inserts pilot to recover carrier frequency offset, on the other hand the modified ATSC systems use PN sequence to recovery carrier frequency offset without the use of pilot. In this paper, we introduce carrier frequency recovery (CFR) scheme for the modified ATSC systems. The proposed CFR scheme is composed of coarse CFR scheme using Fitz algorithm and fine CFR scheme using a simple PN sequence correlation algorithm. And, the symbol information of QAM modulated signal is contained in both In-phase (I)channel and Quadrature-phase (Q)channel. However the symbol information of VSB modulated signal is contained in I channel, and Q channel is just Hilbert transform of I channel. For the reason, VSB modulated symbols can not have fixed phase like QAM modulated symbols, and VSB modulated symbols is more sensitive to carrier frequency offset. Therefore we perform phase correction of received PN sequence to improve performance.

Pilot symbol aided modulation (PSAM) using the conventional sinc interpolation (CSI) achieves nearly the same BER performance as Caver' optimal Wiener interpolation but with much less complexity. The CSI, however, has to use a non-rectangular window function that is applied to the sinc function to smooth out the abrupt truncation of rectangular window. In this paper, we propose the modified sinc interpolation (MSI). With the weighting factor the MSI scheme with no window has almost the same BER performance as the CSI scheme using window, In addition, if we use the MSI with a window its BER performance gets close to that of the theoretical one. We assume the multicarrier QAM system and an optimal frame structure for performance evaluation.
