Abstract

ISI is caused by delay spread in the multipath channel environment. There are two kinds of channel equalizer: Linear and Non-Linear type according to the structures. In this paper, we propose an improved adaptive linear equalizer to mitigate ISI. The proposed adaptive equalizer is constructed by using asymmetrical Dsmvenu filter based on USE sub-optimal receiver. Asymmetrical structure of the transversal filter is realized by moving the main tap position from center to side. If this structure is used, we can divide ISI to precusor and postcusor. As a result the proposed equalizer has a larger extended compensation range than conventional adaptive linear equalizer. In computer simulation, we compare the bit error rate performance of the proposed linear equalizer with the conventional one on the S-V channel which is modeled for WB systems.

다중경로 무선 채널 환경에서 지연확산에 따른 ISI를 제거하기 위한 등화기는 그 구조에 따라 선형과 비선형 구조로 구분할 수 있다. 본 논문은 ISI제거 성능이 개선된 적응형 선형 등화기를 제안한다. 제안된 등화기는 준 최적의 수신기인 MMSE 기반의 적응 등화기로써, 비대칭적인 구조의 등화 필터로 구성된다. 등화 필터의 비대칭적인 구조는 기준 탭을 필터 중앙으로부터 측면으로 이동시켜 구현하며, 이러한 구조는 precusor ISI와 postcusor ISI의 분리 제거를 가능하게 하여 기존의 선형 적응 등화기에 비해 향상된 ISI 제거 범위를 갖게 된다. UWB 시스템의 채널 모델인 S-V 채널에서 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해 기존의 선형 적응 등화기와 제안된 등화기의 비튜오류율 성능을 비교한다.
