We have designed and fabricated a low power and high linearity up down convertor for wireless repeaters using $0.35{\mu}m$ SiGe Bipolar CMOS technology. Repeater is composed of a wideband up/down converting mixer, programmable gain amplifiers (PGA), input buffer, LO buffer, filter driver amplifier and integer-N phase locked loop (PLL). As of the measurement results, OIP3 of the down conversion mixer and up conversion mixer are 32 dBm and 17.8 dBm, respectively. The total dynamic gain range is 31 dB with 1 dB gain step resolution. The adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR) is 59.9 dBc. The total power consumption is 240 mA at 3.3 V.

In the paper, we propose a new CMF(Constant Modulus Fourth) algorithm for WCDMA(Wideband Code Multiple Access) RF(Radio Frequency) Repeater. CMF algorithm is proposed by modifying the CMA(Constant Modulus Algorithm) algorithm and improved performances are achieved by properly adjusting step size values. The steady state MSE(Mean Square Error) performance of the proposed CMF algorithm with step size of 0.35 is about 4dB better than that of the conventional CMA algorithm. And the proposed CMF algorithm requires 400~1100 less iterations than the LMS(Least Mean Square) and NLMS(Normalized Least Mean Square) algorithms at MSE of -25dB.

Attenuation losses and repeater spans of single-mode optical fibers installed in the long hual optical transmission line were measured and analyzed. The average loss including splicing points was appeared to be 0.55 0.05dB/km and 0.59 0.01dB/km at 1300nm and 1550nm, respectively, and showed lager value at 1550nm window, The cause of loss increase at 1550nm range from the OTDR measurement was due to the inappropriate treatment of extra length of fiber at the splicing points. And average repeater span of domestic long haul line was 24 7km and 90% of total sampled repeater spans was within 31 km.

The paper contributes to a traffic analysis for the CDMA cellular base station with repeater which are operated in a cell site. Usually the repeaters' traffic of the CDMA cellular system hardly could be separated from that of the base station because the links of the repeaters are divided from RF circuits of the base station. The paper introduces a traffic measuring method that separates the traffic of repeaters from that of the base station using time delay device. To get general results we use a single BTS(Base station Transceiver Subsystem) with three repeater as well as a single BTS with a single repeater. Then we proved that the traffic of the repeaters could separate from that of the base station clearly.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm which makes the frequency of output signal synchronize with frequency of input signal in Equalization Digital On-channel Repeater (EDOCR) system which was proposed to overcome the disadvantage of conventional Digital On-Channel Repeater (DOCR). Also, we verify the algorithm by using the mathematical equivalent model and analysis the performance by implying the algorithm to EDOCR. The main idea is to use the frequency offset information, which comes from carrier recovery in the receiving part of EDOCR, when the demodulated symbol is re-modulated in transmitting part. Based on the proposed algorithm, EDOCR not only makes the output signal synchronized with input signal in frequency but also emit the output signal which satisfies the ATSC transmission standard without additional equipments such as Global Positioning System (GSP).

In this paper, we introduce a newly developed DSP module and Software which Is applicable to DTV-OCR and is designed to cancel the interference signal. In general, RF repeater has problems of system oscillation and signal Quality degradation due to feedback interference signal coming from transmit antenna. In this paper, we demonstrate newly developed DSP HW and SW module for cancelling the interference signal by investigating the field data measured through a RF repeater. Also, the structure and signal processing method for non-regenerative repeater system based on the newly developed DSP HW and SW module is illustrated as well.

The Minisoy of Information and Communication(MIC) requires telecompanys to share base stations in order to prevent the duplicated investment and environmental destruction which would be caused by the indiscreet construction of basestations for enlarging their own service area among telecompanys. This paper discusses' the problems of mobile communication services that have been generated in common-repeater at the Metropolitan subway. These problem include factors of power obstacles, communication equipment and establishment obstacles. The content of this paper is helpful in organizing the basestation sharing of IMT-2000 and the 4th generation mobile system, and provides the basics of a higher quality service for common-service communication.

Recently, a majority of 4G mobile telecommunication manufacturers prefer repeaters with good adaptability. In this paper, we propose a new LMF(: Least Means Fourth) algorithm for LTE(: Long Term Evolution) RF(: Radio Frequency) Repeater. The proposed algorithm is a modification of the LMF, which appropriately adjusts the step size and improves performance according to the Sign function. The steady state MSE(: Mean Square Error) performance of the proposed LMF algorithm with step size of 0.009 is low level at about -25dB, and the proposed LMF algorithm requires 500 less iterations than the conventional algorithms at MSE of -25dB.

Despite the successful launch of Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 broadcasting worldwide, broadcasters are facing obstacles in constructing void-less large-scale single-frequency networks (SFNs). The bottleneck is the absence of decent on-channel repeater (OCR) solutions necessary for SFNs. In the real world, OCRs suffer from the maleficent feedback interference (FI) problem, which overwhelms the desired input signal. Moreover, the undesired multipaths between studio-linked transmitters and the OCR deteriorate the forward signals' quality as well. These problems crucially restrict the feasibility of conventional OCR systems, arousing the strong need for cost-worthy advanced OCR solutions. This paper presents an ATSC 3.0-specific solution of advanced OCR that solves the FI problem and refines the input signal. To this end, the FI canceler and channel equalizer functionalities are carefully implemented into the OCR system. The presented OCR system is designed to be fully compliant with the ATSC 3.0 specifications and performs a fast and efficient signal processing by exploiting the specific frame structure. The real product of ATSC 3.0 OCR is fabricated as well, and its feasibility is verified via field and laboratory experiments. The implemented solution is installed at a commercial on-air site and shown to provide substantial coverage gain in practice.

This article is written to make a foundation for effective radio network engineering by enabling the accurate traffic assumption between Base Station (BTS : Base Station Transceiver Subsystem) md Repeater through the scientific and systematic analysis of mobile traffic dealt within CDMA Base Station. Among these, Repeater, having direct physical connection with BTS, simply does the remote relay function but the volume of the traffic flowed into the repeater is not accountable. The total BTS traffic is the sum of traffic dealt by the BTS and multiple Repeaters. In this article, we tried traffic analysis of this kind by adopting RTD (Round Trip Delay) which is specially designed to measure distribution of the distance between the Base Station and the Mobile station by differentiating the traffic dealt by BTS from traffic dealt by Repeaters. The fact that the connection between mobile station and BTS via Repeater (which is located remotely) yields far more delay than the direct connection between mobile station and BTS is the clue of this article. Based on this fact, Time Delay equipment was put at the receiving side of the Repeater to add certain amount of delay to the traffic to BTS and the result showed that the 99.78% of the traffic can be identified.
