In this paper, we design and performance evaluate the equalizer for S-DMT table modem, which supports more channels and better quality symmetric mutimedia services over HFC network. We verified that both of the designed equalizers show good convergence characteristics and that the performance of the time domain equalizer is 1 dB better than that of the frequency domain equalizer overall range of Eb/No.

다중 반송파 변조의 일종인 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 방식은 기존의 주파수 분할 다중화 기법에 각 부 채널들 사이의 직교성까지 보장함으로써 사용 주파수 효율을 극대화시킬 수 있는 방식이다. 그러나 주파수 비 선택적 다중경로 채널에서 높은 데이터 율을 갖는 OFDM 신호의 전송은 주파수 영역에서 인접 심벌간 간섭과 동일한 형태를 갖는 승산성 왜곡에 의해 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 결정 궤환 시퀀스 등화기를 OFDM 시스템에 적용하여 신호를 등화하고, 등화를 통하여 주파수 영역에서의 인접 심벌간 간섭을 보상하는 방법을 제안한다. 결정 궤환 시퀀스 등화를 이용하여 최우 시퀀스 등화가 갖는 복잡도를 크게 줄이면서 주파수 오프셋이 추정될 수 있음을 설명하고 모의 실험을 통해 OFDM 시스템의 성능 개선을 보인다.

In this paper, the efficient equalization method for OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiflexing) System using the QAM(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) in multipath fading channel is proposed in order to faster and more efficiently equalize the received signals that are sent over real channel. In generally, the one-tap linear equalizers have been used in the frequency-domain as the existing equalization method for OFDM system. In this technique, if characteristics of the channel are changed fast, the one-tap linear equalizers cannot compensate for the distortion due to time variant multipath channels. Therefore, in this paper, we use one-tap non-linear equalizers instead of using one-tap linear equalizers in the frequency-domain, and also use the linear equalizer in the time-domain to compensate the rapid performance reduction at the low SNR(Signal-to-Noise Ratio) that is the disadvantage of the non-linear equalizer. In the frequency-domain, when QAM signals, consisting of in-phase components and quadrature (out-phase) components, are sent over the complex channel, the only in-phase and quadrature components of signals distorted by the multipath fading are changed the same as signals distorted by the noise. So the cross components are canceled in the frequency-domain equalizer. The time-domain equalizer and the adaptive algorithm that has lower-error probability and fast convergence speed are applied to compensate for the error that is caused by canceling the cross components in the frequency-domain equalizer. In the time-domain, To compensate for the performance of frequency-domain equalizer the time-domain equalizes the distorted signals at a frame by using the Gold-code as a training sequence in the receiver after the Gold-codes are inserted into the guard signal in the transmitter. By using the proposed equalization method, we can achieve faster and more efficient equalization method that has the reduced computational complexity and improved performance.

SC-FDMA(Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access) 방식은 다중경로의 영향을 제거할 수 있는 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 방식의 장점을 유지하면서 OFDM의 단점인 높은 PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio) 문제를 해결할 수 있어 차세대 멀티미디어용 이동통신 시스템인 3GPP LTE(3rd Generation Partnership Project Long Term Evolution)의 상향링크 전송방식으로 채택되었다. 또한 SC-FDMA 수신기는 주파수 영역에서 채널등화기를 구현함으로써 OFDM 수신기와 마찬가지로 기존의 단일반송파 방식에 비해 등화기의 복잡도를 크게 감소시킬 수 있다. 한편 주파수 영역 채널등화기와 더불어 시간영역의 판정궤환 등화기를 같이 사용하여 수신기의 성능을 향상 시킬수 있다. 이 논문에서는 예측형 판정궤환 등화기 구조를 적용하여 채널등화기의 성능을 더 향상시킬 수 있는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 또 모의실험을 통해 제안된 방법의 성능을 확인한다.

다중경로 채널의 시변 특성은 OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 신호의 직교성을 파괴시키며 이는 인접 채널간 간섭(ICI: interchannel interference)을 발생시켜 도플러 주파수에 비례하는 오류를 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 채널 시변의 원인을 주파수 옵셋과 도플러효과로 규정하고, 주파수 옵셋을 보정하기 위해 기존의 선형보간법(LI: linear interpolation method)대신 선형위상보간법(LPI: linear phase interpolation)과 도플러효과에 의한 ICI 를 제거하기 위해 기존의 주파수영역 등화기법보다 효과적인 시간영역 등화기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법이 주파수 옵셋이 있는 시변 다중경로 페이딩 환경에서 OFDM 시스템에 적합함을 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해 확인한다.

The 8-VSB modulation, the transmission standard for the terrestrial digital television(DTV) of the Advanced Television Systems Committee(ATSC), suffers from multipath fading because it conveys information on the amplitude. To solve this problem, decision feedback equalizers(DFE's) have been commonly used in terrestrial DTV receivers. However, under severe channels, such as a 0 dB ghost channel or a single frequency network (SFN) channel, the DFE shows unstable convergence due to the error propagation caused by decision errors. Instead of unstable time-domain DFE schemes, by proposing a frequency-domain direct-inversion equalization method, we try to guarantee stable equalization and achieve low symbol error rates. To secure the existence of a channel inverse, channel-matched filtering and noncausal filtering are carried out prior to equalization. Simulation results show that the proposed method performs much better than existing DFE schemes in terms of both the stability and the symbol error rate.

기존 ATSC 시스템의 시간영역 채널 추정은 많은 탭을 사용하고 복잡도가 높지만 OFDM과 같이 보호구간을 이용하여 주파수 영역 등화기를 사용하면 복잡도를 낮추면서 정확한 채널 보상이 가능하다. 본 논문은 ATSC 시스템의 프레임에 보호구간을 삽입하여 주파수 영역 채널 등화를 제안하였다. 또한 DTV수신기의 성능을 확인하기 위해 브라질 채널을 이용하여 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해 성능을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we describe the structure of the DWMT (discrete wavelet multitone) transceiver for VDSL system. The DWMT transceiver consists of the transmultiplexer using cosine modulation filter bank (CMFB), time domain equalizer (TEQ) and frequency domain equalizer (FEQ) minimizing the effects of the transmission channel. For FEQ, we have expanded the conventional l-D linear transversal equalizer into 2-dimensions, i.e. time and subchannel axes and we have implemented it using the 2-dimensional LMS methods. In order to qualify the performance of FEQ, we have applied it to the DWMT based VDSL transceiver and the equalizer's performance is verified by simulation using the VDSL line test model specified by the ANSI T1E1.4 requirements.

Frequency domain equalization is the most promising technology that has relatively low complexity in multipath channel. A frame of single carrier system with frequency domain equalization (SC-FDE) has cyclic prefix to mitigate effect of delay spread. After synchronization and equalization procedure on the SC-FDE system, common phase offset (CPO) that can introduce performance degradation caused by phase mismatch between transmitter and receiver oscillators is remained. In this paper, common phase offset tracking in frequency domain is proposed. To track CPO, constant amplitude zero autocorrelation code sequence as training sequence is adopted. By using numerical results, performance of mean square error is evaluated. The results show that MSE of CPO has similar performance compare to the time-domain estimation and there is no need of domain conversion.
