Abstract

8SQAM(8-state Superposed Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) being a new modem technique for use in power and bandwidth limited digital communication system generates output signals which have a mか and continuous phase transition and a reduced envelope fluctuation by keeping correlation between amplitudes and phases of two subsequent symbols. Also, 8SQAM signal is free of inter-symbol interference(ISI), and has a compact power spectrum. Accordingly 8SQAM, as compared with a conventional 8PSK, is influenced a little by inter-modulation(IM), inter-symbol interference(ISI) and adjacent channel interference(ACI) in a nonlinearly amplified multi-channel(SCPC-FDMA) environment. In this paper, the performance of 8SQAM system in a nonlinearly amplified multi-channel interference environment is analyzed via computer simulation The simulation result shows that 8SQAM outperforms 8PSK with roll-off value of $\alpha$ = 0.3 by 2.7dB in CNR to maintain BER=1$\times$10$^{-4}$ when input back-off(IBO) of HPA is 1dB and channel space is 41.7% of the data bit rate(i.e., spectral efficiency = 2.40b/s/Hz).

전력 및 대역폭 제한적인 디지털 통신 시스템을 위한 새로운 변복조 기술인 8SQAM(8-state Superposed Quadrature Amplitude Modulation)은 인접하는 두 심볼간에 진폭과 위상이 상관관계를 유지함으로써 부드럽고 연속적인 위상천이와 함께 적은 포락선 변동을 갖는 출력신호를 생성한다. 또한 8SQAM신호는 심볼간 간섭이 없으며 compact한 스펙트럼 특성을 갖는다. 따라서 8SQAM은 기존의 8PSK와 비교하여 비선형 왜곡에 의한 혼변조(IM)와 인접 심볼 간섭(ISI) 그리고 다중채널(SCPC-FDMA) 환경에서의 인접 채널 간섭(ACI) 영향을 적게 받는다. 본 논문에서는 비선형 증폭 다중채널 간섭 환경에서 8SQAM 시스템의 수신 성능을 전산모의 실험을 통해서 분석하였다. 전산모의 실험 결과 8SQAM은 고출력증폭기(HPA)의 Input back-off(IBO)가 1dB이고 채널 간격이 데이터 비트 율의 41.7%(즉, 스펙트럼 효율 =2.40b/s/Hz)일 때, BER=1$\times$$10^{-4}$ 을 유지하기 위해 요구되는 CNR이 $\alpha$= 0.3의 roll-off 값을 갖는 8PSK 보다 2.7dB 우수한 성능을 보였다.
