To achieve a goal of minimum output power, the beamformer tends to cancel the desired signal if there exists correlated interference sources such as multipaths of the desired signal. In this paper, we propose a new method which overcomes the signal cancellation problem for correlated interferences. Instead of decorrelating the correlated interferences, the proposed bramformer regards them as replicas of the desired signal and coherently combines them with desired signal. This method uses an eigenvector constraint that suppresses a noise and uncorrelated interferences but keeps the desired signal and correlated interferences. Indisputably, the beamformer does not require any preliminary information on correlated interferences. Simulation results show that the proposed beamformer overcomes the signal cancellation problem and improves signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the array output when the correlated interferences exist.

In this paper, we propose new beamforming algorithm which overcomes signal cancellation effect even high cross correlation existing between target and interfering signal. Using the proposed method, we show that direction of arrival (DOA) of interfering signal can be estimated using correlation matrix and the cross-correlation can be eliminated in the correlation matrix of input signal. The proposed method gives high performance enhancement compared with the spatial averaging method in our computer simulation results.

A new lattice structure using decision feedback and augmented prediction for estimating and suppressing the narrowband interference is presented. The performance of the proposed interference canceller is compared to the conventional interference cancellation filter. The reference signal of the interference canceller is formed by using the chip decisions, which is correlated with the narrowband interference components of the received signal. The decision feedback technique reduce the distortion of the desired signal which is introduced by the interference canceller through the use of feedback chip decisions. And by linear prediction of the error signal, the residual interference component of can be eliminated, Using this unconteminated error signal to update the adaptive filter coefficients, the performance of the rejection can be improved. In the simulation, it is assumed that the processing gains are 7 and 15, signal to interference ratio is -10[dB], and 5% interference band. The results show that the BER performance of the proposed filter structure is improved by 1~3dB.

DS/CDMA 이동통신 환경에서 채널의 용량을 제한하는 가장 큰 요인은 다중 사용자 간섭 신호의 영향이다. 본 논문에서는 어레이 안테나와 적응 혼합 다중 사용자 검파기 구조 (MUD: Multi-User Detection)를 이용하여 이러한 문제를 제거한다. 어레이 안테나의 각각의 빔 형성기는 MUD에서 궤환되는 기준 신호를 이용하여 원하는 사용자의 방향으로 빔을 형성하고 간섭 신호 방향으로는 널을 형성하여 제거하게 된다. 수신 신호의 전력이 제어되지 못하여 원근 문제(near-far problem)가 발생할 경우, 제안한 MUD는 적응적으로 지배적인 상관 값에 대해서는 직렬형, 비슷한 크기의 신호들은 병렬형 간섭 제거기를 통하여 제거함으로써 기존의 고정형 간섭 제거기보다 우수한 성능을 나타내었다.

We propose two feedback interference cancellers(FICs) to improve the performance of the equalization digital on-channel repeater(EDOCR) with the FIC for the ATSC DTV broadcasting system. The FIC estimates the feedback channel between Tx. and Rx. antennas of the repeater by cross-correlating the reference signal and the feedback signal. Since there is a DC pilot which ruins the white property of the ATSC DTV signals, the FIC cannot estimate the feedback channel accurately. To solve the problem, the structural method which uses an additional DC pilot free reference for feedback channel estimation and the algorithmic method based on the digital signal processing which whitens the ATSC DTV signals and performs the feedback cancellation in the whitened signal domain. Simulation results show that the proposed two FICs show better feedback cancellation performance than the conventional FIC.

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.

As the mobile communication service is widely used and the demand for wireless repeaters is rapidly increasing because of the easiness of extending service areas. But a wireless repeater has a problem that the output of the transmit antenna is partially fed back to the receive antenna, which results in feedback interference. In this paper, we propose a new varable step-size LMS algorithm which utilizes correlation between reference and error signals to adjust the step sizes, for cancelling the feedback interference signals in the WCDMA repeater under time-varying multi-path channels. The proposed algorithm was evaluated through computer simualation by being applied to the feedback canceling filter of the WCDMA repeater. The simulation results demonstrated that the proposed one is superior to the conventional ones in terms of the cancelation perormance.

An FM radio based PCL system is a passive radar technique for detecting the multiple moving targets from FM radio signals and tracking the trajectories of the targets by calculating the cross-correlation function of direct-path signal and target echo signals. However, the interference signals are received from a surveillance channel, which is designed to receive the target echo signals. Because of this problem, the target echo signals are masked by the strong interference signals and this makes it difficult to detect the true targets from the cross-correlation function. Adaptive filters are known as effective methods for suppressing the interference signals but there is a problem to present their accurate performances in the PCL system because many literatures used the cross-correlation function and the ratio of input and output power as a measure of the performance analysis. In this paper, a performance analysis method is proposed to evaluate the performance of interference cancellation algorithms. By using the property that each component of the filter weight vector is adjusted to suppress the specific interference signal, a performance measure of the interference signal suppression is defined by a function of adaptive filter weights. Based on the proposed method, we compare the performance of the adaptive filters used in the PCL system. Simulation results show that the proposed method can be very effective for evaluating the performance of interference cancellation algorithms.
