In this paper, the performance of pre-equalization technique which can be applicable for the B-WLL uplink is evaluated and compared to post-equalization technique under three kinds of rain attenuation channels such as rain, intermittent light rain and thundershower. The BER performance comparisons of two algorithms (LMS and RLS) are investigated in the context of channel models and the length of training sequence. From the simulation results, it is shown that the post-equalization outperforms only at quite good channel conditions such as AWGN, while the pre-equalization can guarantee better BER performance at every channel conditions, especially performance gain increases as the severity of channel increases. It is concluded that the pre-equalizer using LMS algorithm is preferable at delay-tolerant situation where the complexity of algorithm is not a strict factor, while one using RLS is suitable for fast burst transmission with a relatively short training sequence.

This paper describes a synthesis method for a self-equalized dual-passband filter. Compared to conventional dual-passband filter, a self-equalized dual-passband filter can reduce BER(bit error rate) in digital data communications and does not need an external equalizer for group-delay equalization. To validate the synthesis technique, a 10-pole dual-mode dual-passband filter which has two self-equalized 5-pole elliptic response passband is synthesized.

A novel pre-equalization method for terrestrial DTV transmitters is presented. A pre-equalizer has been used in transmitters to correct group delay and amplitude distortions caused by a channel filter. In the proposed pre-equalizer, an equation-error adaptive IIR filtering scheme is adopted unlike the conventional pre-equalization using FIR filtering schemes. The pole-zero modelling property of IIR filters improves the signal-to-noise ratio and may deal with diverse linear distortions existing in DTV transmitters as well as the channel filter distortion. Simulation results show that the proposed IIR pre-equalizer performs better than the FIR pre-equalizer in terms of the residual mean-square error.

This paper presents the results of Ka band qualification model multiplexers for COMS Payload to be launched in 2008. These are the input and output multiplexers of the satellite transponder to use available frequency resources effectively and the diplexer of the satellite antenna to use the same reflector for both transmitting and receiving frequency bands, respectively. The input multiplexer with four frequency channels has four(4) independent channel filters which consist of an 8-pole elliptic band-pass filter for high frequency selectivity and a 2-pole equalizer for group delay equalization. For low insertion loss, mass and volume reduction, manifold type os employed for output multiplexer. E-plane T-junction is used for either splitting or combining a frequency band into two sub-bands. Asymmetric inductive irises are used to tune the receiving filter easily. The electrical performance and environmental test such as vibration test, mechanical shock test, thermal vacuum test and EMC test are performed and the results of all qualification model multiplexers are compliant to the requirement of each multiplexer. Followed by this qualification, the flight model equipment will be developed.
