본 논문에서는 STBC (space tine block codes)의 채널 정보를 이용하여 TCM(Trellis Coded Modulation) 복호기의 연산량을 감소시키는 복호 방법을 제안하였고 이를 하드웨어로 설계 및 검증한 결과를 제시한다. 제안한 방법은 바이어스 포인트 설정을 이용하여 부집합에 n개의 시그널 포인트가 존재할 경우 실제 TCM 복호기에서 연산되는 가지 값을 부집합에서 1개의 시그널 포인트만 필요로 한다. 그러므로 바이어스 포인트 설정을 사용하여 가장 가까운 시그널 포인트를 미리 찾아내어 연산량을 l/n로 줄일 수 있다. 16QAM 8subset 경우에 AED (absolute euclidean distance)연산을 하게 되면 곱셈은 37％, 가감산 41％, 비교는 25％의 연산량 감소 효과가 있다. 또한 본 논문에서는 제안된 STBC와 TCM이 결합된 복호기의 하드웨어 합성 결과를 제시한다. 논리 합성 결과 약 87.6K개의 게이트가 요구됨을 확인하였다.

In this paper, authors have been evaluated the Frame Error Rate (FER) performance of IEEE 802.11 a/g/p standard 5 GHz frequency band WLAN over Rayleigh and Rician distributed fading channels in presence of Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN). Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based transceiver is implemented by using real-time signal processing frameworks (IEEE 802.11 Blocks) in GNU Radio Companion (GRC) and Ettus USRP N200 is used to process the symbol over the wireless radio channel. The FER is calculated for each sub-carrier conventional modulation schemes used by OFDM such as BPSK, QPSK, 16, 64-QAM with different punctuated coding rates. More precise SNR is computed by modifying the SNR calculation process of YANS and NIST error rate model to estimate more accurate FER. Here, real-time signal constellations, OFDM signal spectrums etc. are also observed to find the effect of multipath propagation of signals through flat and frequency selective fading channels. To reduce the error rate due to the multipath fading effect and Doppler shifting, channel estimation (CE) and equalization techniques such as Least Square (LS) and training based adaptive Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm are applied in the receiver. The simulation work is practically verified at GRC by turning into a pair of Software Define Radio (SDR) as a simultaneous transceiver.

본 논문에서는 이동 통신 환경에서 데이터율을 높이기 위해 현재 사용되는 변조 방식보다 고차원의 변조방식에 대한 성능을 비교 분석하였다. 기존에 주로 사용되던 정사각형 형태의 QAM은 BER 성능 면에서는 다른 변조 방식에 비해 우수한 특성을 보이나 진폭의 수가 증가함에 따라 송수신 신호의 다이나믹 레인지가 증가하여 증폭기의 선택에 제한이 생기고, 증폭 과정에서의 에러 발생률이 증가하게 된다. 그러나 본 논문에서 제안하는 APSK 방식의 변조 방식은 기존의 QAM에 비해 미미한 성능 저하를 보이지만 송수신 신호의 다이나믹 레인지 면에서 이득을 얻을 수 있기 때문에 특히 CDMA나 OFDM과 같이 여러 신호가 합의 형태로 송수신되는 시스템에 제한된 범위의 고차원의 변조 방식으로 성능의 유효성이 있다. 또한 이 경우 저력 효율이 좋은 비선형성 증폭기의 사용이 가능하기 때문에 시스템 면에서도 큰 이득이 예상된다.

This paper proposes a method to extend Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) canceling Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) receivers for 5G mobile systems to spatial multiplexing 2×2 MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems to support high-speed ground transportation services by linear motor cars traveling at 500 km/h. In Japan, linear-motor high-speed ground transportation service is scheduled to begin in 2027. To expand the coverage area of base stations, 5G mobile systems in high-speed moving trains will have multiple base station antennas transmitting the same downlink (DL) signal, forming an expanded cell size along the train rails. 5G terminals in a fast-moving train can cause the forward and backward antenna signals to be Doppler-shifted in opposite directions, so the receiver in the train may have trouble estimating the exact channel transfer function (CTF) for demodulation. A receiver in such high-speed train sees the transmission channel which is composed of multiple Doppler-shifted propagation paths. Then, a loss of sub-carrier orthogonality due to Doppler-spread channels causes ICI. The ICI Canceller is realized by the following three steps. First, using the Demodulation Reference Symbol (DMRS) pilot signals, it analyzes three parameters such as attenuation, relative delay, and Doppler-shift of each multi-path component. Secondly, based on the sets of three parameters, Channel Transfer Function (CTF) of sender sub-carrier number n to receiver sub-carrier number l is generated. In case of n≠l, the CTF corresponds to ICI factor. Thirdly, since ICI factor is obtained, by applying ICI reverse operation by Multi-Tap Equalizer, ICI canceling can be realized. ICI canceling performance has been simulated assuming severe channel condition such as 500 km/h, 8 path reverse Doppler Shift for QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM and 256QAM modulations. In particular, 2×2MIMO QPSK and 16QAM modulation schemes, BER (Bit Error Rate) improvement was observed when the number of taps in the multi-tap equalizer was set to 31 or more taps, at a moving speed of 500 km/h and in an 8-pass reverse doppler shift environment.

A fully integrated 5-GHz CMOS power amplifier for IEEE 802.11a WLAN applications is implemented using $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. An on-chip transmission-line transformer is used for output matching network and voltage combining. Input balun, inter-stage matching components, output transmission line transformer and RF chokes are fully integrated in the designed amplifier so that no external components are required. The power amplifier occupies a total area of $1.7mm{\times}1.2mm$. At a 3.3-V supply voltage, the amplifier exhibits a 22.6-dBm output 1-dB compression point, 23.8-dBm saturated output power, 25-dB power gain. The measured power added efficiency (PAE) is 20.1 % at max. peak, 18.8% at P1dB. When 54 Mbps/64 QAM OFDM signal is applied, the PA delivers 12dBm of average power at the EVM of -25dB.
