In this paper, the performance of W-CDMA system with smart antenna is analyzed for angular spread in spatio-temporal wideband vector channel. We consider correlation between any two elements of antenna array, the angle spread of multipath, and structure of antenna array in this channel model. And each multipath is assumed as a reflective wave from only one direction. Several multipaths within one chip are distinguished into each one and the strongest signal is selected. As a result, the performance of the W-CDMA system with smart antenna in spatio-temporal wideband vector channel has been considerably improved in proportion to the increase of angular spread.

차세대 이동통신 서비스나 Beyond 4G 이동통신 서비스의 단말기는 유비쿼터스 정보화 사회의 도래에 발맞춰 기존의 single mode 시스템에서 탈피하여 3G LTE, Mobile WiMAX(WiBro), DMB, IEEE 802.11b/g/n 등의 다중 이동통신 서비스를 지원하는 단말기로 발전하는 추세이다. 또한 고속 데이터 전송을 위한 MIMO 및 스마트 안테나 등의 다중 접속 기능은 다중 밴드/다중 모드/다중 경로 처리 구조의 RF transceiver를 요구하고 있다. 이러한 융합 universal 단말기를 구현하기 위해서는 여러 이동통신 서비스를 지원하는 "Reconfigurability and Convergence" RF transceiver가 필요하지만 현재의 집적 기술로는 0-수 GHz에 할당되어 있는 모든 이동통신 서비스를 지원하는 단말기 구현에 제약사항이 많기 때문에 미국 및 유럽의 국외 연구기관과 기업에서는 2-3개의 선택적인 이동통신 서비스를 지원하는 RF transceiver를 개발하여 세계 시장에서 경쟁 준비를 하고 있다. 본 고에서는 차세대 이동통신 단말기의 RF transceiver 칩 셋 기술과 국내외 개발 동향에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

We propose two new blind LMS and MMSE algorithms called projection-based least mean square (PB-LMS) and projection-based minimum mean square error (PB-MMSE) for smart antennas. Both algorithms employ the finite constellation property of digital signal to transform the conventional LMS and MMSE algorithms into blind algorithms. Computer simulations were carried out in the AWGN channel and Rayleigh fading channel with AWGN in CDMA environment to verify the performance of the two proposed algorithms.

We propose a new MUD adaptive beamforming algorithm. It requires no reference signal and consists of two Processing stages. The first stage performs a scan function, and the second stage performs an adaptive beamforming algorithm. Computer simulations, considering multi-path Rayleigh Fading Channel in CUMA, are presented to verify the performance.

In this paper, we propose two novel blind LMS algorithms, called exponential step sire LMS algorithms (ES-LMS), for adaptive array antennas whose convergence speed is increased, hence they are much more capable of tracking the desired signal than the conventional LMS algorithms. Both of the algorithms require neither spatial knowledge nor reference signals since they use the finite symbol property of digital signal. Computer simulations were carried cot in CDMA environment affected by multi-path Rayleigh fading to verify the performance of the two proposed algorithms.

Multiple antenna technology, such as multiple input multiple output (MIMO), beamforming is one of the most promising technology for broadband wireless communication. In OFDM environment, we found that as the number of paths is increased, smart antenna system cannot fully exploit beamforming gain. In this paper, we propose a beamforming scheme and analyze the performance of the proposed beamforming scheme in WiBro smart antenna system. WiBro is an OFDMA-based multiple access service for wireless broadband multimedia environment. The proposed beamforming technique for WiBro smart antenna system can effectively improve the performance of the systems in multipath fading environment.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive beamforming algorithm for array antenna. The proposed beamforming algorithm, based on Block LMS (Block - Least Mean Squares) algorithm, has a variable step size from coefficient update. This method shows some advantages that the convergence speed is fast and the calculation time can reduced using a block LMS algorithm from frequency domain. As the adaptive parameter approaches a stationary state, it could reduce the number of filter coefficient update with the help of various step size. In this paper we compared the efficiency of the proposed algorithm with a standard LMS algorithm which is a representative method of adaptive beamforming.

As the wireless communication technique is developing rapidly, the use of smart devices is increasing. Due to gradually increasing data traffic, a new area, more than 6GHz of bandwidth to increase capacity of the network, has been studied. Millimeter Wave(MmWave) communications utilizes the bandwidth above 6GHz, which makes it possible to achieve one gigabit per second data rate. To overcome the path loss due to the smaller wavelength, the mass of the antenna arrangement is used. This paper presents an algorithm that maximizes the spectral efficiency of the system in the pre-coding process using a hybrid beamforming. Also it is suggested with the optimization of the number of beams that maximizes the spectral efficiency was maximized by the propose method.

This paper proposes a novel blind adaptive algorithm for computing the weight vector of an antenna array system. The new technique utilizes a Generalized On-Off algorithm to obtain the weight vector maximizing the SINR(Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio) of the received signal. It is observed that the proposed algorithm generates a suboptimal weight vector with a linear computational load(O(6N+8)). From the various simulations, it is confirmed that, when the signal environment becomes adverse, e.g., low Processing Gain, and/or wide angular spread. the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional one in terms of the communication capacity by about 3 times. Applying the proposed algorithm to satellite tracking systems as well as IS2000 1X mobile communication system, we have found that both communication capacity and communication quality are significantly improved.
