This paper presents a simple gain/phase blind compensation algorithm with an automatic gain control (AGC) function for the adoption of the AGC function and compensation for gain/phase imbalances in quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) direct conversion receivers (DCRs). The AGC function is interactively operated with the compensation algorithm for gain/phase imbalances. By detecting the gain sum and difference values between the I-channel and Q-channel, the combined AGC and gain imbalance compensation algorithm provides a simpler DCR architecture.

This paper presents a 6 Gb/s 4-channel arrayed transimpedance amplifiers (TIA) with the gain control for 4-channel passive optical network in $0.13{\mu}m$ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. A regulated cascode input stage and inductive-series peaking are proposed in order to increase the bandwidth. Also, a variable gain control is implemented to provide flexibility to the overall system. The TIA has a maximum $98.1dB{\Omega}$ gain and an input current noise level of about 37.8 pA/Hz. The die area of the fabricated TIA is $1.9mm{\times}2.2mm$ for 4-channel. The power dissipation is 47.64 mW/1ch.

We propose a 10-GHz 2 × 2 phased-array radio frequency (RF) receiver with an 8-bit linear phase and 15-dB gain control range using 65-nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology. An 8 × 8 phased-array receiver module is implemented using 16 2 × 2 RF phased-array integrated circuits. The receiver chip has four single-to-differential low-noise amplifier and gain-controlled phase-shifter (GCPS) channels, four channel combiners, and a 50-Ω driver. Using a novel complementary bias technique in a phase-shifting core circuit and an equivalent resistance-controlled resistor-inductor-capacitor load, the GCPS based on vector-sum structure increases the phase resolution with weighting-factor controllability, enabling the vector-sum phase-shifting circuit to require a low current and small area due to its small 1.2-V supply. The 2 × 2 phased-array RF receiver chip has a power gain of 21 dB per channel and a 5.7-dB maximum single-channel noise-figure gain. The chip shows 8-bit phase states with a 2.39° root mean-square (RMS) phase error and a 0.4-dB RMS gain error with a 15-dB gain control range for a 2.5° RMS phase error over the 10 to10.5-GHz band.

본 논문은 IEEE802.15.4a low-rate ultra-wideband (LR-UWB) 시스템을 위한 효율적인 채널 추정 방법을 제안한다. LR-UWB 시스템을 위한 채널추정은 기준신호와 수신된 신호의 상호 상관에 기반 하여 채널 이득 (gain)과 지연 (delay) 값 같은 채널 파라메타를 추출하는 sliding window (SW) 방식이 일반적이다. 하지만, SW방식은 모든 채널을 한번만 상호 상관하므로 성능 열화가 큰 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 SW 방식의 단점을 극복하기 위해 반복된 수신신호를 이용하여 상호상관한 후 결과 값을 누적함으로써 성능 이득을 얻을 수 있는 효율적인 채널 추정 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법의 성능 이득을 확인하기 위해 Saleh-Valenzuela (S-V) 채널 환경에서 모의실험을 수행하였고, 그 결과 기존의 SW 방식에 비해 제안된 방식이 약 4dB의 성능 이득을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

간섭 채널에 대한 연구는 정보 이론적으로 매우 중요한 문제로써 이에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 하지만 가장 간단한 경우인 두 사용자 간섭 채널에서조차 특별한 경우를 제외하고는 채널 용량이 아직까지 밝혀져 있지 않다. 따라서 최근에는 채널 용량을 정확히 알아보는 대신, 높은 신호 대 잡음 비(SNR: Signal to noise power ratio) 대역에서의 전송률의 경향을 보는 다중화 이득에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최적의 다중화 이득을 얻으면 높은 신호 대 잡음 비 대역에서 채널 용량의 경향을 알 수 있다. 두 명의 사용자가 존재하는 간섭 채널에서는 간섭을 제거하면 최적의 다중화 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 하지만 사용자 수가 셋 이상인 경우에는 간섭 제거(Zero Forcing)만으로 최적의 다중화 이득을 얻을 수 없고, 간섭 정렬이라는 새로운 기법이 필요하다는 것이 최근 연구에서 밝혀졌다. 간섭정렬 기법은 크게 두 종류로 나눌 수 있다. 송수신 빔 형성(Beamforming) 행렬을 적절하게 골라서 신호와 간섭을 효과적으로 분리하는 방법과 유리수와 무리수의 성질을 이용하여 구조화된 코드(Structured code)를 구성하는 방법이다. 간섭 정렬 기법은 간섭 채널, X 채널, 복합 방송 채널(Compound broadcast channel), 다중 송수신처(Multi source multi destination)를 위한 다중 홉(Multi hop) 네트워크 등의 다양한 환경에서 최적의 다중화 이득을 달성할 수 있으며, 최근에는 데이터 분산 저장(distributed storage)에도 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 지연된 채널 정보의 DoF를 구했다.

In this paper, we propose a singular perturbation-like approach to EDFA gain controller design and analysis. Considering a three-level model of EDFA, a gain controller containing a state observer and a channel add/drop estimator is designed based on a singular perturbation - like concept. The proposed design methodology is shown to be effective and advantageous not only in theoretically verifying the asymptotic stability of systems with multi-time scales such as EDFA but also in designing an asymptotic estimator for channel add/drops which does not satisfy the matching condition.

We propose a novel opportunistic access scheme for cognitive radios in an interweave cognitive system, that considers the channel gain as well as the predicted idle channel probability (primary user occupancy: Busy/idle). In contrast to previous work where a cognitive user vacates a channel only when that channel becomes busy, the proposed scheme requires the cognitive user to switch to the channel with the next highest idle probability if the current channel's gain is below a certain threshold. We derive the threshold values that maximize the long term throughput for various primary user transition probabilities and cognitive user's relative movement.

This paper introduces the downlink Eigen-beamformer with Space-Time Block Code (STBC)[1,2] employed on the MISO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems. The proposed scheme is acquired both transmit diversity gain from STBC and beamforming gain from Eigen-beamformer. In general, it is well described that the diversity gain be maximized when channel parameters associated to fingers are mutually independent. Major role of utilizing Eigen-beamformer is to enforce channel parameters being uncorrelated. According to this, the proposed STBC combined with Eigen-beamformer on the downlink significantly improves its performance under the spatially correlated channel. Simulation results are accomplished under three distinct channels conditioned with varying the degree of their correlations. The result indicates that our proposed scheme is good performance in spatially correlated channel.

High-performance full swing logic inverters were fabricated using amorphous 1 wt% Si doped indium-zinc-oxide (a-SIZO) thin films with different channel layer thicknesses. In the inverter configuration, the threshold voltage was adjusted by varying the thickness of the channel layer. The depletion mode (D-mode) device used a TFT with a channel layer thickness of 60 nm as it exhibited the most negative threshold voltage (-1.67 V). Inverters using enhancement mode (E-mode) devices were fabricated using TFTs with channel layer thicknesses of 20 or 40 nm with excellent subthreshold slope (S.S). Both the inverters exhibited high voltage gain values of 30.74 and 28.56, respectively at $V_{DD}=15V$. It was confirmed that the voltage gain can be improved by increasing the S.S value.

In this paper, we propose a new joint precoder and postcoder design strategy to support multiple streams per user in multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. We propose two step precoding strategies using equal channel gain decomposition and block diagonalization at the transmitter. With the proposed precoder, the multiuser MIMO channel can be decomposed into multiple parallel channels with equal channel gain per user. After applying receive postcoder which is generated and sent by the transmitter, we can use ML based decoder per stream to achieve full receive diversity. Achievable sum rate bound and diversity performance of the proposed algorithm are presented with feedback signaling design and quantitative complexity analysis. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm asymptotically approaches to the sum rate capacity of the MIMO broadcast channel while maintaining full diversity order.
