A new coding algorithm which has spectrum notches at the DC and Nyquist Frequency for maximizing the effect of the in-band pilot insertion in order to make the symbol timing or carrier recovery easy is proposed. It is shown that this algorithm uses one encoder and gives the similar spectrum characteristics to that of the existing OF00 code which uses two encoder. In this paper, the proposed new coding algorithm is explained andits spectrum characteristics is compared with the of OF00 code using computer simulation.

In this paper, we propose a modified CP-AFC(Cross-Product Automatic Frequency Control) algorithm to enhance coherent signal detection for WCDMA reverse link receiver. We introduce a moving average filter at the FDD(Frequency Difference Detector) input to increase the number of cross-products, since pilot symbol in WCDMA is not transmitted continuously. We also add normalization algorithm to overcome the conventional CP-FDD's sensitivity to the variance of input signal amplitude and to increase the linear range of S- curve. For rapid frequency acquisition and tracking, we adopt a multi-stage tracking mode. We applied the proposed algorithm in the implementation of WCDMA base station modem successfully.

In this paper, we analyzed the performance of OFDM system based on IEEE 802.11a specification. First, we modeled the transmitter and receiver of OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system. Then, we analyzed the performance of OFDM system through simulation over the JTC (Joint Technical Committee) realistic channel model. In addition we carried out the performance by using pilot training symbol, which is one of the channel estimation methods, over the same channel environments.

본 논문에서는 차세대 멀티미디어 통신인 IMT-2000의 억세스방식으로 제안되고 있는 비동기 W-CDMA(3GPP) System을 적용, 기존의 IS-95와는 달리 Pilot symbol을 이용하여 페이딩채널을 추정하여, 이를 통한 다중사용자 간섭제거 방법으로 PIC(Parallel Interference Cancellation)을 적용하고 DPCCH(Contorl)과 DPDCH(Data)의 Power Ratio에 따른 성능을 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 Hard decision 인 경우 사용자5명의 설정에서 C:D : 3:7 과 4:6에서 가장 좋은 성능을 보였으며, 사용자를 10명으로 늘렸을 경우 C:D = 4:6 보다는 3:7의 비율에서 가장 나은 성능을 보였다.

OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)은 하나의 데이터 열(data stream)을 낮은 데이터 전송률을 갖는 작은 데이터로 나누고, 이들을 부반송파(subcarrier)를 통해 동시에 전송한다. OFDM이 차세대 전송방식으로 채택된 이유는 주파수 선택적 페이딩(frequency selective fading)이나 협대역(narrow band)간 간섭에 받는 영향이 적어 고속 통신이 가능하기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 RS 부호(Reed-Solomon Code)를 사용하여 OFDM에서 대용량 데이터를 전송할 때 발생하기 쉬운 연집 오류(burst error)를 정정하도록 하였다. 또한 채널 사이에 파일롯 심볼(pilot symbol)을 삽입하여 채널 추정을 통한 신호의 타이밍 오류도 고려하였다.

I perform bit error rate(BER) analysis of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) systems impaired by both direct current(DC) offset and carrier frequency offset. By analyzing the BER performance for real OFDM systems employing 16-quadrature amplitude modulation(QAM) and pilot symbol estimation, the dependency of BER on the DC offset and carrier frequency offset is quantified and compared to ideal performance. Results show that the magnitude of frequency offset and DC offset are required to be less than 0.01 and 0.007, respectively.

In this paper, we propose a pilot based time-averaging channel estimation method and analyze error performances for efficient transmission of OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) in multipath fading environment. Frequency domain channel estimations have been used in OFDM systems to compensate signal distortions due to fading on each subcarrier. The frequency domain estimation scheme uses scattered pilot to estimate channel response by simple interpolation. This implies that the estimated channel response includes signal distortions due to the noise. In this paper, we propose time-averaged channel estimation method to remove the distortion by noise. The proposed scheme can effectively remove noise components by taking time-average of the estimated channel response after estimating frequency domain channel. The computer simulations were performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed channel estimator. For the Rician channel, we compared the performance of the proposed method to that of a conventional one using channel estimation by gaussian interpolation when SER(Symbol Error Rate) = $10^{-4}$, and compared to perfect channel estimation case. The proposed method showed differences of 0.07 dB, 0.6 dB compared to perfect channel estimation and improvements of 1.7 dB, 1.9 dB for 16 QAM, 64 QAM respectively compared to conventional method.

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.

The carrier frequency offset causes loss of orthogonality between sub-carriers, thus leads to inter-carrier interference (ICI) in the OFDM symbol. This ICI causes severe degradation of the BER performance of the OFDM receiver. In this paper, we propose a new ICI cancellation algorithm which estimates frequency offset at the time-domain by using CP-ICA method to the received sub-carriers phase rotation. This algorithm is based on a statistical blind estimation method, which mainly utilizes the EVD, rotating phase and the $4^{th}-cumulants$. Since our scheme does not need any training and pilot symbol in estimation, we can expect enhanced bandwidth efficiency in OFDM systems. Simulation results show that the proposed frequency offset estimator is more accurate than the other estimators in $0.0<\varepsilon<1.0$.
