This paper presents a new satellite radio interface, satellite code division multiple access (SAT-CDMA), for the satellite component of IMT-2000. The SAT-CDMA was proposed by Korea and was based on wideband CDMA (WCDMA) for a high degree of commonality with the terrestrial component of IMT-2000. Because a satellite link has a longer round trip delay and a higher Doppler shift than a terrestrial link, we developed new technologies that would make the satellite component especially efficient. We present the main features of the SAT-CDMA radio interface by focusing on satellite-specific schemes. We also demonstrate with extensive comparison results the performance of the main technologies in the SAT-CDMA radio interface.

최근 동일본 대지진 또는 중국 쓰촨성 대지진 등 국가적인 재해 재난이 한반도 주변에서 자주 일어나고 있다. 대한민국도 마찬가지로 집중호우로 인한 인명피해가 발생되기도 했다. 이러한 경우 해당 재난지역 내의 주민들이 지역상황을 인지하고 대피하게 할 수 있다면, 인명피해를 크게 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 이러한 문제의 해결책으로 보급률이 뛰어나고 개인 휴대형 기기인 휴대전화기를 통한 재난방송 기능이 제안되었다. 여기에는 재난 방송의 특성상 지연시간과 수신율에 문제점이 있을 수 있다. 그러므로 방송 (broadcasting)개념이 도입되어 다수의 사용자가 한 번에 수신할 수 있도록 CBS (Cell Broadcasting Service) 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 하지만 이 또한 현실적으로 LTE (Long Term Evolution) 망에서만 가능하며 3세대 통신, WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) 에서는 대기전력 소모에 의한 배터리 소요로 제외되었다. 본 지에서는 CBS를 이용하여 WCDMA 단말을 소지한 사용자에게도 DMB를 통해 재난상황을 인지 할 수 있는 새로운 게이트웨이를 제안한다.

A new frame synchronization confirmation technique using a pilot pattern of both uplink and downlink channels is proposed for W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) system. It is shown that by using this technique, we can cancel the side lobe for autocorrelation functions of the frame synchronization words of pilot pattern have the maximum to-of-phase autocorrelation value "4" with two peak values equal in magnitude and opposite in polarity at zero and middle shifts. Due to this side lobe cancellation effect, therefore, the autocorrelation function of the frame synchronization words becomes ideal for the frame synchronization confirmation since double maximum correlation values equal in magnitude and opposite polarity at zero ad middle shifts can be achieved. This property can be used to double check frame synchronization timing and thus. improve the frame synchronization confirmation performance.

In this paper, we propose a new architecture of digital automatic gain control (AGC) for a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) receiver. The feature of the proposed architecture is simplicity, in that it does not utilize complicated mathematical functions such as log and its inverse. When the proposed algorithm is implemented using a field programmable gate array (FPGA) device, the number of slices used to implement is 130 over the total of 5120 slices (less than 3%) with 61.44 ㎒ clock. This algorithm has been successfully applied to commercial WCDMA base stations.

This paper presents implementation of Air protocol analyzer and physical layer design algorithm. The analyzer is a measurement system providing real-time analysis of wireless signals between User Equipment (UE) and Node-B. The implemented system proposed in this paper consists of Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). The waveform of Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) has been selected for verification of the proposed system. We designed the analyzer using equalizer algorithm and rake-receiver algorithm. Among various algorithms of designing the equalizer, we have chosen Linear Minimum Mean Square Error (LMMSE) equalizer that uses the inverse of channel matrix. Since the LMMSE equalizer uses the inverse channel matrix, it suffers from a large amount of computational load, while it outperforms most conventional equalizers. In this paper, we introduce an efficient procedure of reducing the computational load required by LMMSE equalizer-based receiver.

In this paper, a group delay time controller (GDTC) is proposed based on a reflection topology employing a parallel resonator as the reflection termination. The design equations of the proposed GDTC have been derived and validated by simulation and experimental results. The group delay time can be varied by varying the capacitance and inductance at an operating frequency. To show the validity of the proposed circuit, an experiment was performed for a wideband code division multiple access downlink band operating at 2.11 GHz to 2.17 GHz. According to the experiment, a group delay time variation of $3{\pm}0.17$ ns over bandwidth of 60 MHz with excellent flatness is obtained.

A highly efficient linear and compactly integrated series-type Doherty power amplifier (PA) has been developed for wideband code-division multiple access handset applications. To overcome the size limit of a typical Doherty amplifier, all circuit elements, such as matching circuits and impedance transformers, are fully integrated into a single monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC). The implemented PA shows a very low idle current of 25 mA and an excellent power-added efficiency of 25.1% at an output power of 19 dBm by using an extended Doherty concept. Accordingly, its average current consumption was reduced by 51% and 41% in urban and suburban environments, respectively, when compared with a class-AB PA. By adding a simple predistorter to the PA, the PA showed an adjacent channel leakage ratio better than -42 dBc over the whole output power range.

In this paper, we present a new specific and customized interface tool with parameter identification of Modified Butterworth-Van Dyke models for ladder bulk acoustic wave filters. The aforementioned tool is easy to use and flexible because it allows simulations and reengineering to be conducted in an application. A modular design approach is applied to simplify the extension of the proposed tool for different topologies. The proposed tool was validated using measurements from an aluminum-nitride based ladder BAW filter dedicated to the frequency ranges of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service and standards and Wideband Code Division Multiple Access.

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.
