초록

본 논문에서 는 DS-CDMA(direct sequence code division multiple access) 통신시스템에서 다중안테나를 이용한 송신 빔 형성이 하향 링크의 성능에 미치는 영향을 빔 패턴을 통하여 연구하고자 한다. FDD(frequency division duplex) 시스템에서 상향 링크와 하향 링크는 반송파 주파수를 다르게 사용한다. 하향 링크가 상향 링크와 일치하는 빔 형성 가중치들을 사용한다면, 하향 링크의 안테나 빔은 다소의 DOA(direction of arrival)차이 때문에 빔형성 이득에 있어서 영향을 받게 된다. 따라서 서로 다른 반송파 주파수가 하향 링크의 빔 형성 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 주파수 조정 처리 방법은 상향 링크의 빔형성 가중치로부터 하향 링크의 가중치로 변환을 가능하게 한다. 이 방법을 이용하여 상향 링크와 하향 링크의 주파수 차이에 의한 하향 링크의 성능 저하를 감소시킬 수 있다. 주파수 선택적 채널에서 상향 링크는 경로마다 하나의 가중치를 이용하여 PPPW(per path per weight) 빔형성을 만들고, 반면에 하향 링크는 사용자당 가중치를 한 개만 사용하는 PUPW(per user per weight) 벡터를 이용한다. 상향 링크 PPPW 가중치들로부터 하향 링크 PUPW를 위한 하나의 빔 패턴을 형성하기 위해서 세 가지 방법을 고려한다. 첫째는 신호의 세기가 가장 큰 경로만을 이용한다. 둘째는 모든 경로들에게 각각의 크기에 비례하는 가중치를 할당하여 다중 빔들을 결합하여 하나의 빔을 형성한다. 셋째는 모든 경로들에게 같은 크기의 가중치를 할당하여 다중 빔들을 결합한다.

In this paper, the effects of transmit beamforming on downlink performance in DS-CDMA communication systems are investigated. The uplink and downlink in FDD systems use different carrier frequencies. If the downlink uses the same weighting vectors as the uplink, the antenna beam for downlink is formed with certain DOA shift and it thus affects the beamforming gain. So, the impacts of different frequencies on the downlink beam patterns are studied. One possible algorithm to convert uplink beamforming weights to downlink, which is called frequency-calibrated processing, is also evaluated to reduce the degradation of downlink performance due to different frequencies. Under frequency selective channels, the downlink chooses a PUPW beamforming scheme when the uplink employs a PPPW vectors. To form a beam pattern for a PUPW after combining the downlink PPPWs converted from the uplink PPPWs, three approaches are studied. One method is to consider only one dominant path and thus obtain a single main-beam. In the others, multiple-beams weighted with the magnitudes of all paths and equally weighted with all paths are constructed.
