This paper presents a novel gain control system composed of a feedback circuit, Two stage Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) using 0.18 um CMOS technology for 5.2 GHz. The feedback circuit consists of the seven function blocks: peak detector, comparator, ADC, IVE(Initial Voltage Elimination) circuit, switch, storage, and current controller. We focus on detecting signal and designing storage circuit that store the previous state. The power consumption of the feedback circuit in the system can be reduced without sacrificing the gain by inserting the storage circuit. The adaptive front-end system with the feedback circuit exhibits 11.39~22.74 dB gain, and has excellent noise performance at high gain mode. Variable gain LNA consumes 5.68~6.75 mW from a 1.8 V supply voltage.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive DFE (Decision Feedback Equalizer) based on LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) code for phase noise suppression and performance improvement. The proposed equalizer in this paper is applied for wireless repeater system. So as to meet ever increasing requirements on higher wireless access data rate and better quality of service (QoS), the wireless repeater system has been studied. The echo channel and RF impairments such as phase noise produce performance degradation. In order to remove echo channel and phase noise, we suggest a novel adaptive DFE equalizer based on LDPC code. The proposed equalizer helps to compensate RF impairments and improve the performance significantly better than used independently. In addition, proposed equalizer has less iteration number of LDPC code. So, the proposed equalizer system has low complexity.

In the paper, we propose a new CSS(Complex Signed-Signed) CMA(Constant Modulus Algorithm) algorithm for ICS(Interference Cancellation System). When the repeater get the feedback signal, the CSS CMA algorithm is proposed at the ICS repeater using DSP(Digital Signal Processing) for the removal of interfering signals from the feedback paths. The proposed CSS CMA algorithm improved performances and hardware complexity by adjusting step size values. the steady state MSE(Mean Square Error) performance of the proposed CSS CMA algorithm with step size of 0.00043 is about 4dB better than the conventional CMA algorithm. And the proposed Complex Signed Signed CMA algorithm requires 1950 ~ 2150 less iterations than the LMS(Least Mean Square) and Signed LMS(Normalized Least Mean Square) algorithms at MSE of -25dB.

디지털 기술의 발달로 인해 세계 각국에서 지상파 DTV 방송망을 핵심인프라로 활용하기 위한 노력이 지속되고 있다. 하지만 국내 지상파 DTV 표준인 ATSC방식은 주파수 이용관점에서 효율적이지 못한 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위해 그 동안 동일채널 중계기술이 많이 연구되어 왔다. 그러나 동일채널간섭으로 인한 신호품질 저하, 긴 처리시간, 송출전력 제한 등의 제약조건으로 인해 실제 방송망에서는 동일채널 중계기술이 활용되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 DAB용 간섭제거 기반 동일채널 중계기를 ATSC 시스템에 적용하였다. 제안하는 동일채널 중계기는 타이밍 옵셋 보상을 위한 위상 전 왜곡기법, 파일럿 성분 추정 및 제거를 위한 직류 제거기, 송/수신신호 간의 상관도를 기반으로 궤환신호의 지연시간을 추정하는 기법이 적용되었으며, 전산 모의실험을 통해 그 성능을 확인하였다. 전산 모의실험을 통해 주 송신신호보다 간섭신호가 큰 환경에서 제안한 동일채널 중계기의 간섭제거 능력을 확인하였고, 이에 따라 동일채널 중계기의 송출능력을 개선하는 동시에 짧은 처리 지연시간 및 양호한 신호품질을 얻을 수 있었다.

An acoustic feedback canceller has some problems that are difficult to remove the acoustic feedback through acoustic feedback path. In this paper, a new method of acoustic feedback cancellation scheme is proposed using spectral subtraction. Microphone input signals are subtracted by estimated feedback signals which are estimated by Wiener filter using the correlation between microphone input signals and output signals of receiver.

In this paper a novel method improving the accuracy of DTMF tone reception in ARS system is proposed. ARS system should allow users to generate DTMF signals while it is sending voice guidance. It is not unocmmon, in this case, that a portion of transmitting voice signals cross-talks to the receiving channel and it often results in interfering with the receiving DTMF signals. Serious degradations including DTMF tone missing, false alarm and so forth have been introduced for the above reason. To overcome this phenomena, we have proposed a way eliminating the frequency spectra representing DTMF signals bands from the transmitting voice signal by using notch filters. This method also employs bandpass filters of which the frequency responses are reciprocal to those of the notch filters incorporated with the DTMF receiver. It is shown that a drastic improvement has been achieved with respect to the DTMF tone detection with little deterioration of voice guidance quality.

In order to use limited frequency resources efficiently, a single frequency network using digital on-channel repeater(DOCR) has been studied and would be implemented. The DOCR generates strong pre-ghosts to ATSC DTV receivers. The forward filter of equalizer in ATSC DTV receivers compensates the distortion made by pre-ghosts. This process induces noise enhancement and colored noise, thereby results in the performance degradation. In this paper we propose to use a dual-feedback equalizer to combat strong pre-ghosts. The proposed equalizer has two feedback filters. One is the decision feedback filter and the other is non-decision feedback filter. The additional non-decision feedback filter decreases the noise by whitening the noise and preventing the generation of colored noise in pre-ghost channel. Thus the equalization technique of dual-feedback structure has performance enhancement in pre-ghost channel in comparison with conventional decision feedback equalizer(DFE). By simulation we analyzed the performance enhancements of DTV receiver using dual-feedback equalization structure.

In recent years, mobile communication service is used extensively as a larger service area for the maintenance of quality of service required by the expansion of service areas and As the ever-increasing role in relays, and the location is relatively easy to install and less constrained costs, operating cost savings in terms of ICS(Interference Cancellation System) repeaters are required. However, an adaptive algorithm that is applied when updating the filter due to the increase in volume of operations increase the complexity of hardware implementation is fraught with many difficulties. In this paper, if there is a path that feedback. ICS repeater utilizing baseband signal processing for the removal of interfering signals from the feedback operation, significantly reducing the amount of reducing hardware complexity Complex Singed Signed LMS adaption algorithm is proposed. Proposed algorithm for evaluating the performance of Static channel WCDMA signal environment for the ICS, the results of the simulation algorithm, convergence speed and better performance in therms of convergence errors that are required through the implementation of the operation greatly reduces the amount of hardware complexity able to reduce the effect was visible.

In this paper we consider technological requirements to broadcast digital television signals using single frequency networks (SFN) in the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) transmission systems and propose equalization digital on-channel repeater (EDOCR) that overcomes the limitations of conventional digital on-channel repeaters (DOCRs). Since there are no forward error correction (FEC) decoder and encoder, the EDOCR does not have an ambiguity problem. In addition, since an adaptive equalizer in the EDOCR removes multi-path signals, additive white Gaussian noise (A WGN), and feedback signal due to low antenna isolation, the EDOCR may have good output signal quality with high power.

For intersymbol interference (ISI) compensation from communication channels with multi-path fading and impulsive noise, a decision feedback equalizer algorithm that minimizes Euclidean distance of error probability is proposed. The Euclidean distance of error probability is defined as the quadratic distance between the probability error signal and Dirac-delta function. By minimizing the distance with respect to equalizer weight based on decision feedback structures, the proposed decision feedback algorithm has shown to have significant effect of residual ISI cancellation on severe multipath channels as well as robustness against impulsive noise.
