As a sequel to Part 1, the performance characteristics of the cell averaging (CA), greatest of (GO), and smallest of (SO) constant false alarm rate (CFAR) processors in nonhomogeneous environment are obtained and compared when receiving antenna diversity is employed in the pseudonoise (PN) code acquisition of direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) systems. Unlike in homogeneous environment, the GO CFAR processor is observed to exhibit the best performance in nonhomogeneous environment, with the CA CFAR processor performing the second best.

This paper proposes the signal design techniques of quasi-orthogonal space time block codes (QO-STBCS) on the multi-dimensional signal space. In the multiple antenna system(MIMO), QO-STBC achieves the full-diversity and full-rate by grouping two based-symbols. We study the condition for the full-diversity of the grouping QO-STBC geometrically and the performance analysis of codes on the multi-dimensional signal space regarding the various signal constellations. Simulation results show that the way of the performance analysis is validity.

In this paper, STBC (Space Time Block Code) is applied to the WB system and frequency repeated diversity is used to get the 4-th order space time diversity gain. The performance of が STDB-OFDM system is analyzed by computer simulation. As a result of simulation, proposed W system can reduce the complexity that is introduced by increasing number of transmit antenna and show the same performance of 4 antennas with only using 2. Proposed system shows the enhancement of 7.1 dB compared to the general UWB OFDM and 1.9 dB compared to UWB STBC-OFDM.

The performance characteristics of the cell averaging(CA), greatest of(GO), and smallest of(SO) constant false alarm rate(CFAR) processors in homogeneous environment are obtained and compared when receiving antenna diversity is employed in the pseudonoise code acquisition of direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) systems. From the simulation results, it is observed that the CA CFAR scheme has the best performance and the GO CFAR scheme has almost the same performance as the CA CFAR scheme in homogeneous environment. In Part 2 of this paper, the CA, GO, and SO CFAR processors for code acquisition in nonhomogeneous environment are addressed.

In non-selective frequency environment, it is difficult to take the advantage of path diversity. In the literature, some methods have been proposed to solve the issue. This paper presents a new method to obtain the resolvable path in Indoor Multi-carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) system by using downlink beam forming. With the aid of downlink beamforming, the most reliable path is found and chosen for the communication link. The new approach is evaluated in term of bit error rate (BER) and power consumption. The simulation results show that the new approach can get better BER performance. However, the cost of BER improvement is a small degradation in power reservation.

In this paper, we designed a decision feedback based diversity modem hardware architecture for IEEE802.11p WAVE and tested the modem on the road with car attached shark antenna. One of the dual channel modem and the diversity single modem with maximum ratio combining algorithm can be selected on the designed architecture. The designed modem have been implemented on the Xillinx Kintex7 FPGA. We tested the modem performance on the smart highway experience road. As experimental results, we can verify the performance of the diversity modem on real road and the enlarged communication range by more than 100%.

In this letter, a compact multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) antenna design for a 2.4 GHz wireless local area network(WLAN) band is proposed for use in smart glasses. To miniaturize the MIMO antenna system, a ground plane is employed within the antenna and a T-shaped ground is proposed. To achieve wideband isolation, dual resonance is formed by the ground mode. One resonance is created by the T-shaped ground and the second resonance is created by adding a slot and a capacitor between the two feed lines. The measurements show that the reflection coefficient characteristic was less than -5.1 dB, whereas the isolation obtained was less than -20 dB. The diversity performance was evaluated using the measured two-dimensional radiation patterns, and the envelope correlation coefficient(ECC) values achieved in the target band(2.4~2.5 GHz) were less than 0.1.

In this paper, we derive the probability density function (PDF) of end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for t he dual-hop MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) DCF (Decouple-and-Forward) system. We also provide the end-to-end bit error ratio (BER) with M-ary PSK constellations for four antenna combinations. These are (1,8,1), (8,1,8), (2,4,2), and (4,2,4). Each number in the parentheses is the number of the transmit antenna at the source, the transmit and receive antenna at the relay and the receive antenna at the destination, respectively. We show t hat the end-to-end BER expression with M-ary PSK constellations makes an exact match with numerical results. We also show that MIMO DCF relay system achieves spatial diversity.

In this paper, we analyzed the communication distances in the flat and spherical earth model using the main specifications of the wireless communication device under development to be installed in the unmanned surface vehicle(USV). We installed the wireless communication device on the test ship and the actual communication test was performed in the South Sea of Korea, it compared the experimental result with the simulated results. If the installation altitude of the transmitting and receiving antennas is low, there is not the big difference between the two models. However, when the altitude of one of the two antennas is high, the spherical earth model has similar results to the experimental data. As the altitude of the antenna installation increases, fading occurs in a certain section. We expect that this fading can be overcome through antenna technologies such as space diversity.

We propose a timing-offset resilient OFDMA with achieving full diversity for uplink cooparative base station (BS) systems. In uplink OFDMA, timing offset (TO) among multiple users destroys subcarrier orthogonality and thus, it degrades the performance. In order to avoid this performance degradation, the accurate processing, so called 'ranging', is required to synchronize. However, in cooparative BS systems, it is difficult to perform ranging scheme. This is because if the ranging scheme is performed for a specific BS, timing offset has to occur for other BSs. Thus, the conventional ranging method cannot achieve full diversity gain in cooperative BS systems. By employing TO resilient OFDMA, so called, 'ZCZ time-spread OFDMA'. we achieve full diversity gain even with TO among multiple users. We show that the proposed scheme achieves the same performance with case of no multiple acces interference.
