In this paper, we propose the adaptive multibeamforming algorithm to remove the same subcarrier interference and multipath signals in the MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Out)-OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Access)system allocated the same subcarrier partially in order to improve spectrum efficiency. In addition to removing the interference, we can get diversity gain and combat the detriment of the performance according to time delay by the proposed approach. BER performance improvement and combating the delay spread detrimental effects of the proposed approach is investigated through computer simulation by applying it to MIMO-OFDMA.

This paper proposes a selection combined hybrid sequential deconvolution and single carrier modulation with a zero forcing frequency domain equalizer for single carrier transmission system in order to enhance performance. Selection combining method is an algorithm of antenna space diversities, the receiver can choose the best channel environment only with the increase of the number of antennas, but a baseband structure is the same as the traditional receiver architecture. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has a better performance rather than the traditional single carrier transmission with a frequency domain equalizer.

In this paper, we have proposed and experimentally performed a polarization and phase control method of an optical signal which has same wavelength with the optical carrier to improve phase characteristics of a continuous wave(CW) generated by the double sideband-suppressed carrier(DSB-SC) as one of the famous photomixing technique for making sub-millimeter and terahertz waves. A polarization and phase controlled optical signal has been coupled with the general DSB-SC on an optical coupler. The output of the optical coupler is then photomixed by a photomixer. From our analysis and measurement results, we have found that the amplitude of the generated sub-mm and terahertz CW signal is higher 1.5 dB and the phase noise is lower about 3 dB@10 kHz offset frequency than the general DSBSC. Consequently, since our proposed method has improved the amplitude and phase noise of CW signals in the sub-mm and terahertz bands, it can be helpful results to make low cost CW generator in sub-millimeter and subterahertz bands.

최근 들어 무선 ATM, 무선 LAN 및 디지털 지상 방송 시스템 등을 위한 고속 전송 방식으로 큰 관심을 받고 있는 OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 방식은 다중 직교 부반송파를 이용하여 신호를 전송함으로써 전송 신호 진폭의 변화가 매우 심하여 고출력 증폭기의 비선형 특성으로 인한 심각한 왜곡이 발생된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 비선형 왜곡의 보상을 위한 기저대역 사전왜곡기 (baseband predistorter)를 실제 구현할 때 계산 복잡도를 크게 감소할 수 있는 효율적인 구조를 제안하였다. 또한, 이러한 구조에 기반하여 수십 Mbps급 고속 무선 ATM 등에 사용 가능한 사전왜곡기를 VHDL을 이용하여 설계하고 ASIC화를 위하여 Synopsys tool을 통해 합성하였으며 실제 Altera FPGA에 구현하여 이의 성능을 검증하였다.

In time-varying multipath fading channels, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) uplink systems suffer severe performance degradation caused by inter-channel interference (ICI). In this paper, we propose a hybrid interference cancellation (HIC) for suppressing the degradation effect of ICI. The proposed HIC can achieve both exact interference cancellation and low detection complexity through efficient combination of parallel detection and serial cancellation. Simulation results show that, as the effect of Doppler increases, the proposed HIC achieves bit error rate (BER) performance enhancement in compared with severe performance degradation of conventional OFDMA receivers. In addition, both the computational complexity and total detection time are reduced.

Adaptive OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) improves data capacity and system performance over multipath fading by adaptively changing modulation schemes according to channel state information(CSI). To achieve a good performance in adaptive OFDM systems, CSI should be transmitted from receiver to transmitter in real time through feedback channel. However, practically, the CSI feedback delay d which is the sum of the data processing delay and the propagation delay is not negligible and damages to the reliability of CSI such that the performance of adaptive OFDM is degraded. This paper presents an adaptive OFDM system with a multistep predictor on the frequency axis to effectively compensate the multiple feedback delays $d(\geq2)$. Via computer simulation we compare the proposed scheme and existing adaptive OFDM schemes with respect to data capacity and system performance.

In this paper, the timing estimator based on the principle of the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) is proposed in OFDMA uplink systems. The proposed timing estimator exploits the phase information of the differential correlation between adjacent subcarriers. The differential correlation can extract the information about timing offset and mitigate the distortion of the signal caused by the frequency selectivity of channel. Compared with conventional methods, the proposed estimator shows more accurate capability in estimation. In addition, the estimator is hardly affected by the distortion caused by the frequency selectivity of channel. Simulation results confirm that the proposed estimator shows a small error mean and a relatively small error variance. In addition, the performance of the estimator is evaluated by means of SNR loss. It is shown by simulations that the SNR loss of the proposed estimator by estimation errors is less than 0.4 dB for the SNR values between 0 and 20 dB. This might indicate that the proposed estimator is suitable for the timing synchronization of multiple users in OFDMA uplink systems.

The broadband ultrasonic transducers have been designed to use in obtaining the broadband echo signals from fish schools in relation to the identification of fish species. The broadening of bandwidth was achieved by attaching double acoustic matching layers on the front face of a Tonpilz transducer consisted of an aluminum head, a piezoelectric ring, a brass tail and to evaluate the performance characteristics, such as the transmitting voltage response(TVR) of transducers. The constructed transducers were tested experimentally and numerically by changing the parameters such as impedances and thicknesses of the head, tail and matching layers, in the water tank. Also, the developed transducer was excited by a chirp signal and the received chirp waveforms were analyzed. According to the measured TVR results, the available 3 dB bandwidth of the transducer with double matching layers of an $Al_O_3/epoxy$ composite of 7 mm thick and a polyurethane window of 18 mm thick was 7.3 kHz with a center frequency of 38.8 kHz, and the maximum and the minimum values of the TVR in this frequency region were 135.7 dB and 132.7 dB re $1\;{\mu}Pa/V$ at 1 m, respectively. Also, the available 3 dB bandwidth of the transducer with double matching layers of an $Al_O_3/epoxy$ composite of 11 mm thick and a polyurethane window of 15 mm thick was 6.2 kHz with a center frequency of 38.6 kHz, and the maximum TVR value in the frequency region was 136.3 dB re $1\;{\mu}Pa/V$ at 1 m. Reasonable agreement between the experimental results and the numerical results for the TVR of the developed transducers was achieved. The frequency dependant characteristics of experimentally observed chirp signals closely matched to the measured TVR results. These results suggest that there is potential for increasing the bandwidth by varying other parameters in the transducer design and the material of the acoustic matching layers.
