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.

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.

Single-Carrier Frequency division multiplexing (SC-FDM) has been selected for the uplink transmission technique in 3GPP-LTE since it has an advantage of low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in user's perspective. The receiver typically uses a frequency domain equalizer, which, however, suffers from noise boost and/or residual ISI especially when the channel has deep nulls. In this paper, we propose using turbo equalizer to mitigate such a problem. We provide link level performance comparison and an insight into how many iteration is needed for reasonable performance and complexity.

In this paper, as one of countermeasure techniques for a frequency selective fading, an adaptive analog slope equalizer(ASE) applicable to 64-QAM digital radio relay system is presented in terms of principle, implementation, and its performance. Also interference of cross-talk between I- and Q-channel caused by a fiequency selective lading has been analyzed by doing channel model in the baseband, which make it possible to derive the solution for implementing ASE in If-band. The effects of signal for the faded channel are investigated in the time and the frequency domains, respectively, with/without ASE. As system performance, it is shown that the signature is improved up to 6.2 dB at the edge of signal bandwidth for a given BER 10$\^$-3/.

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.

본 논문에서는 열악한 주파수 선택적 페이딩이나 고속 페이딩 채널 환경에서 ATSC(Advanced Television System Committee) DTV 수신기의 등화 성능 향상을 위해 필터 탭을 선택적으로 사용하는 스파스 적응 등화기 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 등화기는 채널 추정을 수행한 후 등화기 초기화를 위한 탭 계수를 찾는다. 구해진 등화기 탭의 초기화 계수에 대해 특정 임계값을 적용하여 유효한 탭을 선택하여 활성화시킨다. 그리고 활성화 된 탭만을 이용하여 채널 등화를 수행한다. 결과적으로 기존 등화기와 동일한 탭 길이를 가지 고 있지만, 실제 사용하는 탭 수가 작아지므로 등화기의 단계상수를 크게 만들어 고속 페이딩 채널의 변화를 빠르게 추적할 수 있게 된다. 제안된 등화기 알고리듬의 성능 개선을 확인하기 위한 실험으로 ATSC DTV 성능분석 시 일반적으로 사용되는 브라질 채널 및 ATSC등화 성능 요구 조건에 대해 기존의 등화기와 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 기존의 등화기와 같은 안정성을 가지면서 빠른 수렴 속도를 가지고 고속 페이딩 채널 보상 능력의 큰 향상을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 주파수 영역에서 구현되는 안테나 배열을 이용한 적응형 등화기의 구조를 제안하였다. 제안된 방식은 주파수 영역에서 블록 LMS (least mean squares) 방식을 사용하기 때문에 수렴 속도가 빠르고 계산량이 적다. 또한 안테나 배열을 사용함으로서 다중경로 환경에서 한 개의 안테나를 사용한 경우에 비해 특히 우수한 성능을 지닌다. 다중 경로를 통한 신호들을 분리하기 위해 학습신호를 사용하여 반복적으로 출력신호와의 오차를 최소화하는 방법을 사용하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 안테나의 개수, 신호의 입사각, 세기 등에 따른 성능을 분석하고, 제안된 방식이 다이버시티 시스템에 사용되는 경우에 대하여도 성능을 분석하였다.

In this paper, a narrow-band waveguide channel fitter has been designed and realized for Ku band satellite transponder. Group-delay and amplitude variations of the channel filter have been minimized using a 2-pole reflection type equalizer. The channel filter has been designed to have the 8-pole elliptic response for high frequency selectivity. Dual-mode technique has been adopted for reducing mass and volume of the channel filter and equalizer. The channel filter and equalizer have shown good performance for satellite transponder.
