현재 사용되고 있는 CDMA 시스템에서는 기지국 내에 사용되는 고출력 증폭기(high power. amplifier)의 비선형 특성으로 인해, 시스템의 송신 신호는 심각한 비선형 왜곡을 겪게되고 이는 결국 시스템의 성능을 크게 악화시키는 요인으로 작용한다. 이러한 고출력 증폭기의 비선형성은 출력 신호 레벨을 선형 영역으로 충분히 backing-off 시킴으로써 감소시킬 수 있으나, 이는 송신 신호의 출력을 과도하게 감소시키게 되어 결국 fade margin을 감소시키는 결과를 가져온다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 고출력 증폭기에서 발생하는 비선형 왜곡을 보상할 수 있는 디지털 사전왜곡기를 하드웨어적으로 직접 구현하여 고출력 증폭기의 특성이 변할 때,LMS 알고리듬을 이용하여 LUT의 값을 갱신함으로써 보다 효과적인 적응 사전왜곡기를 설계하는데 목적이 있다.

In fields of controlling acoustical noises, the overall adaptive control system is nonlinear due to the loudspeaker, amplifiers, converters, and microphones, etc. and the performance of noise control is decreased by the extent of nonlinearities, so an adaptive control system compensating nonlinear distortions is needed. In this paper, a new multi-channel adaptive noise controller was proposed, which was combined with the adaptive compensator to effectively linearize nonlinear distortions in the overall adaptive control system. Through computer simulations, the proposed adaptive compensator could linearize the nonlinear distortions and the proposed noise controller had better capability of controlling the noises than the conventional LMS controller.

In this paper, the effect of nonllinear distortion, caused by a high-power amplifier(HPA) in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, on the receiver part is analyzed. Since the HPA, which can be modeled by a memeoryless Volterra system, distorts OFDM signals in a nonlinear fashion, the received signal at each subchannel includes the multiplicative distortion of 1-st order as well as additive nonlinear distortion of high-order. the nonlinear distortion can be viewed as a nonlinear interchannel interference (NICI) since it consists of harmonic distortions and intermodulation distortions, produced by oother subchannels affecting the subchannel of interest. In this paper, we analytically derive the variance of NICI in terms of average input power using the volterra model for HPA, and then calculate the bit-effor rate(BER) performance of an OFDM system. Also, we propose a simple method to compensate for the phase distortion in OFDM system amplified by HPA, OFDM system employing 16-QAM constellation input.

고출력 증폭기(HPA)는 위성통신 등 무선통신 시스템의 송신단에서 필수적으로 요구되는 요소 중의 하나이다. 그러나, 대부분의 HPA들은 비선형적인 출력 특성을 가지고 있으므로 이로 인한 신호의 왜곡으로 전송 손실을 야기하게 된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 HPA를 선형화하는 가장 효율적인 방법으로 제안되어온 것이 사전왜곡(predistortion) 기법이다. 본 고에서는 고출력 증폭기의 비선형성을 보상하기 위한 사전왜곡 방식의 기본 개념과 다양한 사전왜곡 방식에는 어떤한 것들이 있는지 그 기본 원리 및 기술 개발 동향에 관하여 고찰한다.

As recording densities increase in digital magnetic recording channels, the performances of digital detection techniques such as PRML and DFE degrade significantly due to nonlinear distortion in recording channels. The primary impediments for hgih-density recording are generally classified as nonlinear transition shift, which can be reduced substantially by the precompensation technique, and partial erasure which usually requires sophisticated nonlinear equalization techniques. In order to acheieve the highest density recording, accurate estimation of the parameters associated with these two noninear distortions is crucial. In this paper, a new estimation technique to distinguish these two different nonlinear effect using a proposed adaptive algorithm in time domain is presented. The effectiveness of the proposed adaptive approach to identify uniquely the nonlinear parameter with bias is demonstrated by computer simulation.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is an attractive technique for achieving high-bit-rate wireless data transmission. However, multicarrier systems such as OFDM show great sensitivity to nonlinear distortion. The OFDM structure requires a summation of a large number of subcarriers for multicarrier modulation, and as a result of this summation large signal envelope fluctuations occur. These fluctuations make OFDM systems to be very sensitive to nonlinear distortion introduced by the high power amplifier (HPA) at the transmitter. In this paper, we propose a canonical piecewise-linear (CPWL) model based digital predistorter to compensate for nonlinear distortion introduced by the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and the HPA in OFDM systems. The performance of the new predistortion scheme for OFDM systems is evaluated in terms of total degradation (TD) and bit error rate (BER). The simulation results demonstrated that the proposed predistorter achieves significant performance improvement by effectively compensating for the nonlinear distortion introduced by the HPA.

라우드스피커의 비선형 음향특성을 해석하기 위하여 라우드스피커 다이아프램의 비 선형특성을 실험적으로 분석하였다. 라우드스피커를 집중질량계로 모델링하고, 출력소음이 없을 때 적용이 가능한 하모닉 발란스법과 출력소음이 있을 때도 적용할 수 있는 통계적 방 법인 라그란지 배수법을 사용하여 비선형 매개변수를 규명하였다. 70Hz 이하의 주파수 영역 에서는 라그란지 배수법이 2차 하모닉 왜곡특성에서 상대적으로 좋은 결과를 보였으며, 3차 하모닉 왜곡특성에서는 하모닉 발란스법이 실험결과와 잘 일치하였다. 전압가진 및 전류 가 진실험을 통하여, 일반화된 주파수 응답함수를 유도하였고 하모닉 왜곡 및 상호변조 특성을 고찰하였다. 고차 주파수 응답특성은 라우드스피커 비선형 매개변수의 변동에 따른 다이아 프램의 비선형특성을 해석하는데 유용한 수단이 될 수 있음도 확인하였다.

차세대 이동통신 시스템을 위해 활발히 연구되고 있는 MC-CDMA 방식은 OFDM과 DS-CDMA의 장점을 결합하여 심벌간 간섭과 페이딩에 강하고 IFFT/FFT를 이용하여 효과적으로 변조/복조부를 구현할 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다. 하지만, 송신 신호가 다중 레벨 진폭 특성을 갖기 때문에 손신기에서 사용되는 고출력 증폭기의 포화 특성으로 인해 심각한 비선형 왜곡이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 OFDM에서 이러한 비선형 왜곡의 보상을 위해 우리가 제안한 고정점 반복 기반의 사전왜곡기를 MC-CDMA 시스템에 적용하고, 이의 우수한 성능을 부가성 백색 가우시안 잡음 채널에서 64-FFT/IFFT을 이용하여 변조 및 복조를 수행하는 MC-CDMA 시스템에 대한 모의실험을 통해 확인하였다.

An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is a special case of multicarrier transmission, where a single data stream is transmitted over a number of lower-rate subcarriers. One of the main reasons to use OFDM is to increase robustness against frequency-selective fading or narrowband interference. However, in the radio systems the distortion introduced by high power amplifiers (HPA's) such as traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA) considered in this paper, is also critical. Since the signal amplitude of the OFDM system is Rayleigh-distributed, the performance of the OFDM system is significantly degraded by the nonlinearity of the HPA in the OFDM transmitter. In this paper, we propose a simplicial canonical piecewise-linear (SCPWL) model based digital predistorter to compensate for nonlinear distortion introduced by an HPA in an OFDM system. Computer simulation is carried on an OFDM system under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels with 16-QAM and 64-QAM modulation schemes and modulator/demodulator implemented with 1024-point FFT/IFFT. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed predistorter achieves significant performance improvement by effectively compensating for the nonlinearity introduced by the HPA.

In this paper, a new approach to estimate nonmlinear distortions (second-harmonic, second-intermodulation, third-harmonic, and third-intermodulation) in digital communication systems is proposed. In contrast to the relatively common sine-wave input approach which requires repetition of the same experiments by changing frequencies of oscillators and filters over the band of frequencies of interest, the proposed approach uses digital random input (transmitted signal in digital communication system) to adaptively estimate parameters of a nonlinear channel in time-domain. Nonlinear distortion of the channel is estimated on line by transforming the estimated parameters into frequency-domain. Comparison between the classical two-tone input approach and the proposed approach is made through computer simulation.
