Abstract

In this paper, a noncoherent code tracking loop is designed for 3GPP MODEM and its performance is analyzed in terms of steady-state jitter variance and transient response characteristics. An analytical closed-form formula for steady-state jitter variance is Int derived for AWGN environments as a general function of a pulse-shaping filter, timing offset, signal-to-interference ratio, and loop bandwidth, together with the analysis on the transient response characteristic of a tracking loop. Based on the analysis, the code tracking loop with variable loop bandwidth that is efficient for full digital H/W implementation is designed and its performance is compared with that of the code tracking loop with fixed loop bandwidth, along with the verification by computer simulations.

본 논문에서는 3GPP 모뎀용 비동기식 동기추적회로(noncoherent code tracking loop)를 설계하고 설계된 회로의 정상상태 지터 분산(steady-state jitter variance)과 과도응답 특성(transient response characterisitc)을 해석한다. 먼저, AWGN 환경에서의 지터 분산을 펄스성형 필터(pulse-shaping filter), 타이밍 오프셋(timing offset), 신호 대잡음비(signal-to-interference ratio), 루우프 대역폭(loop bandwidth)에 대한 일반식으로 유도하고, 과도응답 특성을 이론적으로 해석한다. 이를 바탕으로, 디지털 하드웨어 구현이 용이한 가변 대역폭 동기추적회로를 설계하며 설계된 회로와 고정 대역폭 시스템의 성능을 이론적으로 비교, 분석하고 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한다.
