W-CDMA 하향 링크에서 다수의 송신 안테나가 있을 때, 레일리 페이딩 채널에서 단말기 다중 경로 검색기의 설계 및 성능을 분석한다. 송신 안테나가 1개, 2개, 그리고 4개일 경우 송신기 및 수신기 구조를 제시하고, 이론적 분석을 확증하기 위해 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션으로 수신동작특성(ROC, receiver operating characteristics)을 구하여 이론값과 비교 및 분석을 한다. 또한 double-dwell 직렬 검색기의 파라미터들을 송신 안테나 수에 따라 최적화하는 절차를 제안한다. 이론적 성능 분석 및 시뮬레이션 결과는 송신 안테나가 4개 이상일 경우 post-detection 적분이 필요 없으며, 송신 다이버시티 차수가 증가한다고 항상 검출(detection) 성능이 향상되는 것은 아니고, 오히려 수신 파일럿의 수신 세기가 상대적으로 작을 때는 송신 안테나 수가 증가할 때 검출 성능이 저하되기도 함을 보인다. 본 논문의 성능 분석 결과는 송신 다이버시티 차수를 증가시키는데 매우 실제적인 기준을 제공한다.

최근에 인지무선시스템에서 부사용자의 성능을 향상시키기 위해서 다중 안테나 기술을 사용하는 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 이런 다중 안테나 시스템에서는 안테나 수가 증가할수록 복잡성이나 시스템 가격 등의 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위해 이용 가능한 안테나의 부분집합을 찾아 일부 안테나만 사용하는 안테나 선택기법이 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11n을 기반으로 시스템을 구축하였으며 인지무선 시스템의 상관채널에서의 안테나 선택기법을 제안한다. 수신 안테나보다 송신안테나가 많은 다중안테나 시스템을 고려하여 송신 안테나를 수신안테나와 같은 수로 선택하여 준다. 안테나 선택에서 모든 안테나 조합을 고려하는 것은 비현실적이다. 따라서 채널 상관 행렬의 벡터 사영 값을 이용한 크기 값을 안테나 선택 기준으로 해준다. 이 알고리즘은 우선사용자에게 미치는 간섭은 줄여주면서 부사용자의 통신 성능은 향상시켜준다.

We consider transmit antenna selection combined with power allocation for quadrature spatial modulation (QSM) systems to improve the error rate performance. The Euclidean distance-based joint optimization criterion is presented for transmit antenna selection and power allocation in QSM. It requires an exhaustive search and thus high computational complexity. Thus its reduced-complexity algorithm is proposed with a strategy of decoupling, which is employed to successively find transmit antennas and power allocation factors. First, transmit antennas are selected without considering power allocation. After selecting transmit antennas, power allocation factors are determined. Simulation results demonstrate considerable performance gains with lower complexity for transmit antenna selected QSM systems with power allocation, which can be achieved with limited rate feedback.

We propose a structure for a multiple input multiple output antenna which has no space for isolation. The antenna operates in a frequency range of 2.4-2.48 GHz and can achieve a high channel capability as a Bluetooth antenna. The MIMO antenna consists of two planar inverted F antennas with symmetric structure. We designed the proposed antenna using HFSS simulator, and we designed the fabricated antenna using PCB fabricator. The MIMO antenna's isolation $S_{21}{\leq}-10dB$ and reflection coefficient $S_{11}{\leq}-20dB$. The proposed antenna's specification satisfies Bluetooth antenna's criteria and has more space than the existing MIMO antennas, which have space for isolation.

A worst-case estimate of an envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) is obtained for small multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) mobile antennas operating below 1 GHz. The worst-case estimate is numerically derived in this paper using spherical and exponential wave functions. The derived result confirms that the worst-case ECC can be easily obtained from the rotation angle between the radiation patterns of two MIMO elements, which are attained directly from the amplitude of 2D electric field patterns without any additional phase and polarization information. As a practical example, MIMO mobile antennas with different antenna element arrangements are compared to verify the validity of the proposed worst-case estimate. Moreover, based on these analyses, we also suggest an effective approach to reduce the ECC of a small MIMO mobile antenna operating below 1 GHz by properly locating the antenna elements to make the radiation patterns perpendicular to each other.

In cognitive radio networks where unlicensed secondary users opportunistically access to licensed spectrum unused by licensed primary users, spectrum sensing is one of the key issues in order to effectively use the frequency resource. For enhancing the sensing performance in energy detection-based spectrum sensing, spatial diversity based on multiple antennas is utilized. However, the sensing performance can be degraded when antennas are spatially correlated, resulting in inducing the harmful interference to primary users. To overcome this problem, in this paper, an advanced energy detector is proposed. In the proposed sensing method, a weight matrix based on the eigenvalues of the spatial channels without any prior information on the primary signals is defined and utilized. In numerical simulations, it is shown that the proposed detector outperforms the conventional detector with regard to false-alarm and detection probabilities when antenna are spatially correlated.

The transmission capacity of wireless communication systems may become dramatically high by employ multiple transmit and receive antennas with space-time coding techniques appropriate to multiple transmit antennas. For large number of transmit antennas and at high bandwidth efficiencies, the receiver may become too complex whenever correlation across transmit antennas is introduced. Reducing decoding complexity at receiver by combining array processing and space-time codes (STC) helps a communication system using STC to overcome the big obstacle that prevents it from achieving a desired high transmission rate. Multi-carrier CDMA (MC-CDMA) allows providing good performance in a channel with high inter-symbol interference. Antenna array, STC and MC-CDMA system have a similar characteristic that transmit-receive data streams are divided into sub-streams. Thus, there may be a noticeable reduction of receiver complexity when we combine them together. In this paper, the combination of array processing and STC in MC-CDMA system over slow selective-fading channel is investigated and compared with corresponding existing MC-CDMA system using STC. A refinement of this basic structure leads to a system design principle in which we have to make a trade off between transmission rate, decoding complexity, and length of spreading code to reach a given desired design goal.

In this paper, a compact planar ultra wideband (UWB, 3.1~10.6GHz) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna is proposed. This antenna consists of two monopole planar UWB antennas and T-shaped stub decoupling between two antennas. The T-shaped stub improve the isolation characteristic at the wide band. The evolution strategy(ES) algorithm is employed to optimized design. As a result, optimized antenna has a return loss less than -10dB and the isolation less than -15dB from 3.1GHz to 10.6GHz. During the optimization process, the antenna gain is enhanced at lower band and the envelope correlation coefficient(ECC) is lower than 0.003.

This paper considers a channel estimation scheme for millimeter-wave multiuser multiple-input multiple-output systems. According to the proposed method, parts of the beams are selected and the channel parameters are estimated according to the sparsity of channels and the orthogonality of the beams. Since the beams for each channel become distinct and the signal power increases with the increased number of antennas, the proposed approach is able to achieve good estimation performance. As a result, the sum rate can be increased in comparison with traditional approaches, and channels can be estimated with fewer pilot symbols. Numerical results verify that the proposed approach outperforms traditional approaches in cases with large numbers of antennas.
