다중경로 채널의 시변 특성은 OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 신호의 직교성을 파괴시키며 이는 인접 채널간 간섭(ICI: inter channel interference)을 발생시켜 도플러 주파수에 비례하는 오류를 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 채널 시변의 원인을 주파수 옵셋과 도플러효과로 규정하고, 주파수 옵셋을 보정하기 위해 기존의 선형보간법(LI: linear interpolation method)대신 선형위상보간법(LPI: linear phase interpolation)과 도플러효과에 의한 ICI를 제거하기 위해 기존의 주파수영역 둥화기법보다 효과적인 시간영역 등화기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법이 주파수 옵셋이 있는 시변다중경로 페이딩 환경에서 OFDM 시스템에 적합함을 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해 확인한다.

본 논문에서는 빠르게 변화하는 이동 무선 채널 환경에서 심각한 성능 저하를 일으키는 인접 심볼 간섭(Inter-symbol interference: ISI)에 대처하기 위해 MLSE(Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimztion) 등화기의 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 기존의 MLSE 등화기는 비터비 알고리즘으로 어느 정도 계산량을 감소시켰지만, 정확한 채널 임펄스 응답을 필요로 하기 때문에, 시변 채널에서의 복잡한 채널 추정이 그 문제점으로 남아 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서, 간단하고 향상된 칼만 필터 기반의 채널 추정기를 새롭게 제안하여 MLSE의 복잡성을 줄였다. 또한, 복잡한 채널 추정을 대신하여 페이딩 채널을 거쳐 수신된 데이터를 클러스터로 매핑하여 클러스터 중심 추정을 이용한 1-D CBSE(1-Dimensional Clustering-based Sequence Equalizer) 알고리즘에, 최소 길이를 지닌 훈련 시퀀스를 제안하여 개선된 1-D CBSE을 이용한 MLSE 등화 성능을 보여주었다.

A 6-Gbps feed-forward equalizer having a 6.2-dB gain at 3GHz is designed in 0.13-um CMOS technology and the equalizer helps error-free data recovery over a 7-m SATA cable with 14.7dB loss. Based on a differentially-connected varactor, the proposed equalizer uses only a one-fourth varactor size of a conventional equalizer, which enables the equalizer's integration in a pad-frame, high operating frequency, and low power dissipation of 3.6mW.

This paper presents a half-rate current-integrating DFE receiver with sub-unit interval (sub-UI) inter-symbol interference (ISI) cancellation. By having a single additional DFE tap in each data path, the proposed DFE receiver can minimize BER degradation due to input pattern dependency and feedback tap latency problems in conventional current-integrating DFE receivers. The proposed DFE receiver was designed and fabricated in a 45 nm CMOS process, whose measurement results indicated that the BER bathtub width is increased from 0.235 UI to 0.315 UI (34% improvement) at $10^{-12}$ BER level.

In order to improve the performance and simplify the structure of the conventional detectors in high density magnetic channels, a new equalizer based on bilinear recursive polynomial (BRP) models, which uses the previously estimated sequence, is proposed. The performance is compared with the conventional equalizers and the maximum likelihood sequence detection (MLSD) bound.

This paper studied adaptive blind equalizer which belong to Bussgang type. It is well known that blind equalizer performs equalization without using a training sequence. Especially, this paper concentrated on real time processing of them. The channel characteristic was obtained from measurements taken in a real urban multipath environment. A T/2 fractionally-spaced equalizer was used at the receiving end. Our computer simulations demonstrated that Stop and Go, Benveniste-Goursat, and optimal Bussgang algorithms have relatively low MSE property. CMA shows faster convergence property than any other of Bussgang type algorithm.

This paper is concerned with the implementation of the equalization technique in a DCS 1800 system employing the soft-decision output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA), which makes the hardware complexity comparable to the hard decision MLSE and gives reliable performance. Also, the channel estimation technique with enhances the perfdormance of the soft-decision output equalizer is proposed, and the Viterbi decoder which operates effectively with the soft-decision output of the qualizer is implemented using the Very High Speed ICs Hardware Description Language (VHDL). From the simulation results, it is shown that the implemented Viterbi decoder operates effectively and the SOVA outperforms the hard-decision MLSE in terms of the frame erasure rate (FER) and bit error rate (BER).

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems with multiple transmit antennas can exploit space-time block coding on each subchannel for reliable data transmission. Spacetime coded OFDM systems, however, are very sensitive to time variant channels because the channels need to be static over multiple OFDM symbol periods. In this paper, we propose to mitigate the channel variations in the frequency domain using a linear filter in the frequency domain that exploits the sparse structure of the system matrix in the frequency domain. Our approach has reduced complexity compared with alternative approaches based on time domain block-linear filters. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed frequency domain block-linear filter reduces computational complexity by more than a factor of ten at the cost of small performance degradation, compared with a time domain block-linear filter.

현재 IEEE 802.11p 규격은 기존의 IEEE 802.11a 규격을 기반으로 하여 표준화가 진행되고 있다. 기존의 IEEE 802.11a 규격은 무선랜 (WLAN: Wireless Local Area Network) 규격으로서 고속으로 이동하는 차량 통신환경 즉 WAVE (Wireless Access for Vehicular Environment) 환경에 그대로 작용할 경우 수신 성능이 급격히 떨어지게 되 는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 긴 훈련 심볼 (LTS: Long Training Sequence)을 이용하는 기존의 채널 추정 기법을 기반으로 하되 WAVE 채널처럼 빠르게 변화하는 채널에 대응하기 위해 일정한 심볼 주기 마다 미드엠블 (Mid-Amble)을 삽입하는 전송구조를 제안한다. 또한, 미드엠블 사이의 심볼들의 위상과 크기를 3차원 스플라인 보간법을 적용하여 추정하는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리듬의 성능실험을 위해 WAVE 채널을 모델링하였으며 이러한 채널에서 성능실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 제안된 알고리듬은 빠른 시변 채널에서도 매우 우수한 성능을 나타냄을 알 수 있다.

Multicarrier modulation or orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) is a promising technique for mobile communications systems, since it has a strong immunity to multipath fading without employing complicated adaptive equalization. In this paper, performance of MC DS-CDMA/MPSK(multi-carrier direct sequence-code division multiple access/mary phase shift keying) and DS-CDMA/MPSK(direct sequence-code division multiple access/mary phase shift keying) with coherent detection for a CDMA system over Nakagami fading channel analysis. For a given bandwidth, it is shown that MC DS-CDMA/MPSK eventually outperforms DS-CDMA MPSK with random sequences.
