In this paper, a turbo equalizer is proposed for the digital video broadcasting for terrestrial - 2nd generation (DVB-T2) system. The proposed turbo equalizer is consisted with the maximum a posteriori (MAP) and low density parity check (LDPC) decoder. The channel information for the soft-input-soft-output (SISO) MAP equalizer is based on the least square (LS) channel estimator. The performance is analyzed through computer simulations in terms of the iteration number.

In this paper, a blind decision feedback algorithm is proposed based on the ideas that the derivative of information potential for constant modulus errors stays relatively undisturbed even when large output differences are induced by severe channel distortions and this property can prevent the error propagation that is one of the main problems in decision feedback structures. From the simulation results of the steady state MSE, the proposed blind equalizer algorithm with decision feedback has yielded about 3 dB performance enhancement in the channel model without spectrum nulls and above 9 dB in severe channel characteristics with spectrum nulls.

지상파 디지털 방송신호의 방송구역 확장이나 난시청지역 해소를 위해 사용되는 동일채널중계기(On-Channel Repeater : OCR)는 수신신호와 송신신호의 주파수를 완벽히 일치시켜야한다. 송수신신호의 주파수가 일치하지 않을 경우 주 송신신호와 중계신호가 동시에 수신되는 중첩지역에서 수신기의 수신성능이 현저히 저하되기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 ATSC 지상파 디지털 방송신호를 중계하는 등화형 동일채널중계기(Equalization Digital On-Channel Repeater : EDOCR)에서 송수신신호의 주파수를 일치시키는 알고리즘에 대해 기술한다. 등화형 동일채널중계기는 주 송신신호를 수신하여 복조한 후 재 변조 하므로 송수신신호의 주파수를 일치시키기 위한 별도의 장치나 알고리즘이 반드시 사용되어야 한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 주 송신신호의 동기복원 과정에서 획득한 주파수 오차 정보를 재 변조 과정에 사용함으로써 GPS와 같은 별도의 장치 없이 송수신신호의 주파수를 일치시킨다. 반송파 복원과정에서 획득한 반송파 오차와 심볼타이밍 복원과정에서 획득한 심볼타이밍 오차를 재 변조 신호에 추가하면 수신신호와 송신신호가 같은 주파수 오차를 갖게 되어 두 신호의 중심주파수가 일치된다.

At the present time when the limits of the magnetic storage systems appear, the holographic data storage (HDS) devices with high data transfer rate and high recording density are emerging as attractive candidates for next-generation optical storage devices. In this paper, to effectively improve the detection performance that is degraded by the two-dimensional inter-symbol interference under the HDS channel environment and the pixel misalignment, an iterative two-dimensional equalization scheme is proposed based on the contraction mapping theorem. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, for various holographic channel environments we measure the BER performance using computer simulation and compare the proposed one with the conventional threshold detection scheme, which verifies the superiority of the proposed scheme.

The training sequence with the appropriate length for equalization and initial synchronization is necessary before sending the pure data in the burst transmission type DS-UWB system. The length of the training sequence is one of the factors which make throughput decreased. The noble structure with the variable length of the training sequence whose length can be adaptively tailored according to the channel conditions (CM1,CM2,CM3,CM4) in the DS-USB systems is proposed. This structure can increase the throughput without sacrificing the performance than the method with fixed length of training sequence considering the worst case channel conditions. Simulation results under IEEE 802.15.3a channel model show that the proposed scheme can achieve higher throughput than a conventional one with the slight loss of BER performance. And this structure can reduce the computation complexity and power consumption with selecting the short length of the training sequence.

This paper deals with the performance comparison of adaptive equalization algorithm, MMA and SCA, that is used for the minimization of the distortion and noise effect in the communication channel.. The transmitting signal will be distorted and received due to the nonlinearties of magnitude and phase transfer characteristics of communication channel, the compensation of it by using the self adaptive equalizer. The constant modulus has important metric in the self adaptive equalizer, the MMA uses the 2nd and 4th high order statistics of transmitting signal, the SCA uses the 2nd order statistics of transmitting signal only in order to the calculation of it. We compared to the compensation performance of the MMA and SCA by the computer simulation that are possible to the compensation of the two kinds of transfer characteristics at same times by the relatively simple arithmatic operation. We used to the recovered constellation, residual isi and MSE, SER that are the essential index for the comparison of the adaptive equalizer. The result of performance comparison of algorithms, the MMA which uses the high order statistics of transmitting signal has good performance in the MSE and SER compared to the SCA which is using the low order statistics. But in the recovered costellation and residual isi, the SCA has a good than the MMA.

This paper related with the performance evaluation of mSE-MMA (modified Signed Error-Multi Modulus Algorithm) adaptive equalization algorithm which is possible to reduce the distortion that is occurs in nonlinear communication channel like as additive noise, intersymbol interference and fading. The SE-MMA algorithm are emerged in order to reducing the computational load compared to the presently MMA algorithm, it has the degraded equalization performance by this. In order to improve the performance degradation of SE-MMA, the mSE-MMA controls the step size according to the existence of arbitrary radius circle of equalizer output is centered at transmitted symbol point. The performance of proposed mSE-MMA algorithm were compared to present SE-MMA using the same channel and noise environment by computer simulation. For this, the recoverd signal constellation which is the output of equalizer, residual isi and MD (Maximum Distortion), MSE learning curve which is represents the convergence performance and SER which is represents the roburstness of noise were used as performance index. As a result of simulation, the mSE-MMA has more superior to the SE-MMA in every performance index, and was confirmed that mSE-MMA has roburstness to the noise in the SER performance than SE-MMA especially.

In this paper, as a basic study for combination of turbo equalizer and 4D-8PSK-TCM(4 Dimensional 8 Phase Shift Keying Trellis Coded Modulation) system, which is recommended for X-band band satellite communication in CCSDS, a system combining 8PSK-TCM system and turbo equalizer has designed and performance evaluation of the system has performed. BER performance of 8PSK and 8PSK-TCM systems has evaluated and analyzed in AWGN, Proakis B and Proakis C channels in detail. As results of simulation, BER performance of 8PSK-TCM system is better than 8PSK system in AWGN environment. Furthermore, it can be confirmed that the system combining the 8PSK-TCM system with the turbo equalizer can further improve the BER performance through iterative equalization in the ISI channel environment. The 8PSK-TCM system combined with the turbo equalizer requires SNR of 5.9 dB for BER performance of $10^{-3}$ with 5 iterative equalization in Proakis B and SNR of 9.1 dB for BER of $10^{-2}$ with 5 iterative equalization in Proakis C.

In this paper, a 4-channel common-cathode VCSEL diode driver array with 3.125 Gb/s per channel operation speed is realized. In order to achieve faster speed of the switching main driver with relatively large transistors, the transmitter array chip consists of a pre-amplifier with active inductor stage and also an input buffer with modified equalizer, which leads to bandwidth extension and reduced current consumption. The utilized VCSEL diode provides inherently 2.2 V forward bias voltage, $50{\Omega}$ resistance, and 850 fF capacitance. In addition, the main driver based upon current steering technique is designed, so that two individual current sources can provide bias currents of 3.0 mA and modulation currents of 3.3 mA to VCSEL diodes. The proposed 4-channel VCSEL driver array has been implemented by using a $0.11-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology, and the chip core occupies the area of $0.15{\times}0.18{\mu}m^2$ and dissipates 22.3 mW per channel.

This paper introduces the complex-version of an Euclidean distance minimization algorithm based on a set of delta functions. The algorithm is analyzed to be able to compensate inherently the channel phase distortion caused by inferior complex channels. Also this algorithm has a relatively small size of Gaussian kernel compared to the conventional method of using a randomly generated symbol set. This characteristic implies that the information potential between desired symbol and output is higher so that the algorithm forces output more strongly to gather close to the desired symbol. Based on 16 QAM system and phase distorted complex-channel models, mean squared error (MSE) performance and concentration performance of output symbol points are evaluated. Simulation results show that the algorithm compensates channel phase distortion effectively in constellation performance and about 5 dB enhancement in steady state MSE performance.
