The performance of iterative multiuser detector and turbo decoder is presented to provide high quality multimedia services in WCDMA (wideband code division multiple access) system in this paper. Especially the relationship between the local iteration of turbo decoder and the global iteration of multiuser detector including the turbo decoder is analyzed. As a result, three local iterations and three global iterations are considered to be sufficient to provide satisfactory error performance with resonable complexity. The interference cancellation capability of global iteration is improved when the number of users is increased.

Ultra wideband (UWB) technologies have been developed to exploit a new spectrum resource in substances and to realize ultra-high-speed communication, high precision geolocation, and other applications. The energy of UWB signal is extremely spread from near DC to a few GHz. This means that the interference between conventional narrowband systems and UWB systems is inevitable. However, the interference effects had not previously been studied from UWB wireless systems to conventional mobile wireless systems sharing the frequency bands such as WCDMA system. This paper experimentally evaluates the interference from two kinds of UWB sources, namely a direct-sequence spread-spectrum UWB source and an impulse radio UWB source, to a WCDMA digital transmission system. The average frame error rate degradations are presented. From these experimental results, we show that in all practical cases UWB system can coexist with WCDMA terminal without causing any dangerous interference.

This article presents the performance evaluation case study of circuit-switched WCDMA R5MSC(Mobile Switching Center) Server and CS-MGW(Circuit Switched Media Gateway) in 3'rd generation mobile telecommunication (UMTS : Universal Mobile Telecommunication System). The presented work adopted circuit switching scenarios recommended by 3GPP(Third Generation Partnership Project) and terrestrial spectrum calculation parameters and its values defined in ITU-R M.2023 and M.1390 to do the case study on performance evaluation of circuit switched system (R5 MSC Server and CS-MGW) in WCDMA core network. This paper describes test results by using simulator which substitutes for wireless section (MS, Node-B, RNC).

In this paper, a current-mode integrator for low-voltage, low-power analog integrated circuits is presented. Using the proposed current-mode integrator, the baseband analog filter is designed for WCDMA wireless communication. To verify the proposed current-mode integrator circuit, Hspice simulation using 1.8V TSMC $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS parameter is performed and achieved 44.9dB gain, 15.7MHz unity gain frequency. The described 3rd-order current-mode baseband analog filter is composed of the proposed current-mode integrator, and SFG(Signal Flow Graph) method is used to realize the baseband filter. The simulated results show 2.12MHz cutoff frequency which is suitable for WCDMA baseband block.

본 논문에서는 WCDMA 환경에서의 수신기 Filter에 의한 SNR개선에 대해 연구하였다 WCDMA환경에서 여러 사용자의 다중경로 신호들이 더해져서 수신되는데 원하는 사용자에 동기를 맞춰 chip rate의 정수배로 sampling하고 수신기 필터를 통과시킴으로써 배율 정도에 따른 이득을 얻게 된다. 하지만 송신 신호의 pulse shape에 따라 이득이 달라진다. pulse shape에 따라 필터에 대한 윈하는 사용자 신호와 AWCN의 아득이 서로 달라지고 SNR이득이 포화되는 시점도 다르기 때문이다. 따라서 pulse shape에 따라 최적의 SNR이득을 얻기 위한 최적의 sampling 배출을 구할 수 있다. 분 논문에서는 signal shape에 따른 SNR 이득에 대해 해석식 도출 및simulation을 통해 최적 수신기 구조를 도출하였다.

In this paper, we implement measurement functionality for the 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) modem. Generally speaking, the receiving algorithms in normal modems cannot be used directly to the measurement system due to the lack of the measurement accuracy. In this paper, we propose the new measurement algorithm for precise 3GPP WCDMA signal measurements. In the measurement algorithm, 4-stage parameters estimation scheme is used. To improve the measurement accuracy, we increase the number of the received signal samples by interpolation. The proposed 3GPP WCDMA signal measurement algorithm can be used for verifying and implementing SoC/FPGA modem measurement systems.

This paper proposes a novel design for a compact, high-isolation WCDMA indoor repeater antenna. The proposed antenna consists of a patch antenna and metamaterial absorber. The required WCDMA bandwidth is obtained by utilizing the coupling between the main and the parasitic patches. In addition, high isolation is achieved using the metamaterial absorber, which has an absorption of about 98% at 2.1 GHz. Overall, the proposed antenna has a gain of over 7 dBi, a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of less than 2, more than 85 dB of isolation between the service and donor antennas over the WCDMA band and a total volume of the proposed antenna only $70mm{\times}70mm{\times}43.8mm$.

In this paper, a novel compact broadband dual frequency microstrip antenna is presented. The meander type patch has been designed to have dual resonant frequencies, and the ground with slot was employed to expand the bandwidth in WCDMA band. The simulated results were obtained using HFSS, and the measurement on the proposed antenna was conducted in an anechoic chamber equipped with a network analyzer and a far field measurement system. As a result, measured maximum gain of antenna is 2.07$\sim$2.87 dBi in the GSM band and 3.91$\sim$5.61 dBi in the WCDMA band.

WCDMA서비스가 본격적으로 활성화됨에 따라 WCDMA와 WLAN을 동시에 연결할 수 있는 단말들의 출시도 늘어나고 있다. Multi-home은 Transport Layer에서 이러한 연동을 지원하게 해주는 기능이다. 본 논문에서는 Multi-home을 지원하는 TCP-MH와 SCTP 프로토콜을 WCDMA-WLAN 연동 시나리오에 적용시켜 분석하였다. SCTP는 TCP-MH에 비해 폭넓은 활용도를 보여주었다.

The down-converter of the WCDMA Digital Optic Repeater is developed. Based on the system specifications, the structure of the down-converter is accomplished and its block diagram is drawn. The down-converter is implemented according to these block diagrams. Subsequently a low pass filter, an automatic level controlled attenuator, a frequency synthesizer and other components for the down-converter are designed and implemented, and a main board to integrate these modules is also manufactured. To reduce the noise floor of system and suppress the RF spurious noise, a PCB layout is performed carefully. For each module consisting of the down-converter and the entire system, the performance tests are accomplished to check the performance about the specifications.
