In this paper, we designed a multiband monopole antenna for next-generation WLAN system. In conventional WLAN system, UWB antennas were used together, and, because the radiation occurs in different parts depending on the antenna structure, it has the disadvantage of having an unstable impulse response characteristic due to dispersion characteristics. Although a UWB antenna that has suitable radiation pattern for WLAN band, it does not have good impedance matching and has severe echo. Therefore, in this paper, a monopole antenna was designed by using CPW power feed so that various impedances can be easily implemented when designing an antenna and more parameters can be derived that can be used for design for optimal performance.

본 논문에서 하지 정맥 지료를 위한 마이크로파 시스템에서 사용될 가열 안테나의 전계 분포를 균일하게 형성시키기 위해 철사 도파관 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 일반적인 도파관 안테나에 경우 안테나 중심 부분에 전계가 가장 세게 분포되어 온도가 다른 곳에 비해 차이가 많이 나므로 인체 피부가 회상을 입힐 위험이 있다. 제안된 철사 도파관 안테나는 끝단에 가느다란 철을 이용하여 전기장을 철사 부분에 집중시켜 안테나 중앙 부분에 집중된 전기장을 분산되도록 설계하였다. 따라서 전기장을 소스로 하는 온도도 균일하게 분포하게 된다. 제안된 철사 도파관 안테나 내부의 전계 분포는 Ansoft 사의 HFSS, 온도 분포는 CST 사의 MWS(Microwave Studio)를 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 하였고, 일반적인 안테나 경우보다 더 균일한 전계와 온도 분포 특성을 보임을 확인하였다. 제작된 철사 안테나는 사용주파수 15GHz에서 -10dB 이하의 반사 손실을 보였다. 또한 안테나 타당성을 검증하기 위해 개구면 앞에 돼지 껍데기를 두고 일정시간 가열하여 일반 안테나와 제안된 철사 도파관 안테나 온도 분포를 비교하였다. 열화상 카메라를 이용한 실험결과 일반 안테나에 경우 중앙과 가장 자리부분 사이에 약 $29^{\circ}C$, 제안된 철사 도파관 안테나에 경우에는 약 $12.5^{\circ}C$의 차이를 보였다. 이를 통해 제안된 철사 도파관 안테나가 전계 분포 균일성 향상에 기여함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the performance of an adaptive array antenna using Constant Modulus Algorithm (CMA) based on the signal structure for the IMT-2000 3GPP specification reverse link of an asynchronous direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) system are evaluated. In addition, the performance is compared with the array antenna using Least Mean Square (LMS) based on the training signal. The simulation parameters such as the number of multipath, mu10pa1h intensity profiles between path, spreading gain and multiuser etc., are considered in the Monte Carlo simulation. Simulation results demonstrate an adaptive array antenna using CMA may give more capacity gain than the amy antenna using LMS in the case of multipath fading channel.

We propose the Optimum Power Allocation (OPA) scheme for Distributed Antenna Systems(DAS) in the time-varying Rayleigh fading channel. Recently, the OPA schemes which uses the Channel State Information (CSI) including a small scale (fast) fading have been proposed. However, the channel is changing vary fast over time due to small scale fading, therefore Bit Error Rate (BER) increases. Because of this reason, we derive the OPA for minimizing BER in DAS, which only uses a large scale fading to CSI and excepts a small scale fading. The simulation results show that the proposed OPA achieves better BER performance than conventional OPA considering a small scale fading in time-varying Rayleigh fading channel, and also has similar performance in Rayleigh flat-fading environment. The BER performance of proposed OPA which derived in Rayleigh fading channel is similar to minimum BER of Ricean fading channel which has small Line-of-Sight (LOS).

In this paper, we consider a precoder design for downlink multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) in distributed antenna systems (DAS). In DAS, remote radio heads (RRHs) are placed at geographically different locations within a cell area. Three different precoder design schemes are proposed to maximize the separate or joint signal-to-leakage-plus-noise ratio (SLNR) metrics by considering RRH sum power or per-RRH power constraints. The analytical closed-form form solution for each optimization problem is presented. Through computer simulation, we show that the joint SLNR based precoding schemes have better signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and bit error rate (BER) performances than the separate SLNR based schemes. Also, it is shown that the precoding scheme with RRH sum power constraint has better performance than the precoding scheme with per-RRH power constraint.

The 5G communication system employs the millimeter wave with the extremely high frequency. Since the high frequency signal has the strong straightness, the beamforming technology based on the multiple base stations is required for services covering wide range. The beamformer needs the angle-of-arrival(AOA) information of the signal incident to the antenna, and it is generally estimated through the high resolution AOA estimation algorithm such as Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) or Estimation of Signal Parameters via Rotational Invariacne Technique (ESPRIT). Although various antenna array shapes can be employed for the beamformer, a single shape (square, circle, or hexagonal) is typically utilized. In this paper, we introduce a transmitting/receiving beamforming system based on the combined array antenna with square and circular shapes, which is proper to various frequency signals, and evaluate its performance. For evaluating the performance of the proposed beamforming system based on the combined array antenna, we implement the computer simulation employing various scenarios.

The BLAST-OFDM system is an efficient method for high data rate multimedia transmission in futurewireless communication system. In this paper, a linear preceding mechanism and an efficient antenna-subcarrier assignment algorithm are proposed for the conventional BLAST-OFDM system, in order to utilize the full spatial diversity and the interleaved frequency diversity. By computer simulation, the proposed system has proved to achieve 4-5㏈ gain over the conventional BLAST-OFDM system.
