Abstract

In this paepr, the distortion effects of impairments in CDMA transmitter system were analyzed. We considered not only linear distortion effects, for example, I/Q imbalance, quadrature offset and carrier leakage, but also nonlinear distortion effects such as AM-AM and AM-PM noise in power amplifier. To investigate how the impariments impact on the performance of CDMA transmitter, all effects represented as a function of CDMA modulation quality which is an important measure of the transmitted signal. These results show the limitation value of each impairment which is required to satisfy the IS-95 standard.

본 논문에서는 CDMA 송신기에서 I/Q 불균형, Quadrature offset, 누설반송파와 같은 선형 왜곡 효과와 전력증폭기에서의 AM-AM, AM-PM 잡음과 같은 비선형 왜곡 효과가 시스템에 미치는 성능에 대하여 분석하였다. 이러한 왜곡효과들이 CDMA 송신기의 성능에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위하여, 송신부의 특성을 나타내는 중요한 인자인 CDMA 변조지수(Modulation quality)를 왜곡 효과의 함수로 나타내었다. 본 논문의 결과로부터 IS-95 표준에서 요구되는 송신부의 성능을 만족하기 위한 각 왜곡효과들의 한계값을 선정할 수 있으며 이로부터 최적의 성능을 갖는 설계가 가능하다.
