In this paper, as one of countermeasure techniques for a frequency selective fading, a digital slope equalizer(DSE) for 64-QAM digital radio relay system is analyzed in terms of principle, channel modeling, and digital implementation. Also computer simulations have been performed for DSE with a complex 13-tap adaptive time domain equalizer chip. It is shown that about 4.5 dB improvement in system signature can be obtained at the channel edge, and a variety of simulated results are reviewed in view of DSE modeling limit, operating frequency, control coefficient, signal constellation, and system signature. Finally, the functions of DSE chip confirmed up to 61 MHz clock operation are illustrated.

본 논문에서는 비선형 왜곡이 있는 환경에서 QAM 신호의 수신 성능을 개선시키기 위한 비선형 왜곡 제거 알고리즘을 제안한다. 비선형 왜곡의 효과를 줄이기 위하여 MMSE-DFE 수신기의 역방향 필터에 비선형 탭을 포함시키고 등화기 출력에서 추가적인 처리를 통해 남아 있는 잔여 비선형 왜곡을 제거한다. 비선형 왜곡이 있는 환경에서 MMSE-DFE 수신기와 제안된 수신기의 성능을 분석하고 전산 모의 실험을 통해 검증한다. MMSE-DFE 수신기와 비교한 제안된 수신기의 SNR 이득은 QAM 신호의 신호점 수가 커지고 비선형 왜곡이 커질수록 증가한다.

This paper is concerned with a equalization technique for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems based on a block type pilot arrangement over slow fading channels. The bit rates obtained in underwater channels are relatively modest compared to some other communication channels such as cellular phones or indoor wireless systems. Consequently. the Doppler effect is the important parameter in tracking a channel. In case of a coherent demodulation scheme, the residual mean phase errors due to Doppler frequency may be fatal for the performance of the system. The equalizer could not solely handle mean Doppler shift. To account for the common Doppler effect a phase error tracking loop is used with the frequency equalizer. so that the rotation errors are avoided. Furthermore. simulations show that we can reduce the computational load of the tracking loop with negligible effect on performance.

본 논문에서는 지능형 교통망 시스템 서비스에 사용되는 5.8GHz 대역에서 OFDM을 이용한 단거리 전용 통신 시스템을 제안하고 제안 시스템의 성능을 평가하고 이를 분석하였다. 무선 다중경로 채널에서 데이터를 고속으로 전송할 경우, 신호는 페이딩, ISI(inter-symbol interference) 등의 영향으로 높은 에러율을 가지게 된다. OFDM 방식은 보호구간을 사용해 채널의 ISI를 제거하므로 일반적으로 등화가가 필요 없으나, OFDM 각 심볼 주기마다 보호구간의 사용은 채널 사용 면에서 매우 비효율적이 된다. 따라서 채널의 지연화산이 커질 경우, 보호구간만으로는 ISI를 완전히 제거할 수 없으며, 성능 개선을 위하여 등화기가 필요하게 된다. 본 논문에서 제안된 시스템에서는 ITS 권고 주파수 대역인 5.8GHz에서 국제 표준화 규격인 IEEE 802.11a 근거하여 OFDM 시스템을 모델링 하였으며, 단일 탭 등화기를 적용하여 제안 시스템을 시뮬레이터 기법에 의하여 성능을 비교 분석하였다.

We need to establish standard for the ICT based on train control system. In order to solve the ISI problem, this paper evaluate the performance of OFDM and FDE system. We seem that OFDM system is better than FDE system. In order to solve ISI problem, SC System is needed a equalizer. And another method is OFDM System. If system is used SC with a equalizer, It is better than OFDM in terms of PAPR, but this system is not easy to use Multi-Antenna technique, i.e., beam-forming and MIMO-multiplexing. And If system is used high-order modulation, BER performance is worse than OFDM. If we think about in terms of PAPR problem, considerations are considered not significant because the size of relays is not considered in the communication between trains and ground.

본 논문에서는 빠르게 변화하는 이동 무선 채널 환경에서 심각한 성능 저하를 일으키는 인접 심볼 간섭(Inter-symbol interference: ISI)에 대처하기 위해 MLSE(Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimztion) 등화기의 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 기존의 MLSE 등화기는 비터비 알고리즘으로 어느 정도 계산량을 감소시켰지만, 정확한 채널 임펄스 응답을 필요로 하기 때문에, 시변 채널에서의 복잡한 채널 추정이 그 문제점으로 남아 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서, 간단하고 향상된 칼만 필터 기반의 채널 추정기를 새롭게 제안하여 MLSE의 복잡성을 줄였다. 또한, 복잡한 채널 추정을 대신하여 페이딩 채널을 거쳐 수신된 데이터를 클러스터로 매핑하여 클러스터 중심 추정을 이용한 1-D CBSE(1-Dimensional Clustering-based Sequence Equalizer) 알고리즘에, 최소 길이를 지닌 훈련 시퀀스를 제안하여 개선된 1-D CBSE을 이용한 MLSE 등화 성능을 보여주었다.

In this paper we consider technological requirements to broadcast digital television signals using single frequency networks (SFN) in the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) transmission systems and propose equalization digital on-channel repeater (EDOCR) that overcomes the limitations of conventional digital on-channel repeaters (DOCRs). Since there are no forward error correction (FEC) decoder and encoder, the EDOCR does not have an ambiguity problem. In addition, since an adaptive equalizer in the EDOCR removes multi-path signals, additive white Gaussian noise (A WGN), and feedback signal due to low antenna isolation, the EDOCR may have good output signal quality with high power.

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.

본 논문에서는 T-DMB 시스템의 단일 주파수 망 구성을 위해 궤환신호 제거기를 가지는 등화형 OCR (Equalization On-Channel Repeater, E-OCR)을 제안한다. 제안된 OCR은 송/수신 안테나의 충분치 못한 분리도로 인해 야기된 궤환신호를 궤환간섭 제거기를 통해 제거하여 송신출력을 높일 뿐만 아니라, 송신기와 중계기 사이의 다중경로 신호를 등화기를 통해 제거하여 우수한 출력신호 품질을 보장한다. 또한, 본 논문에서는 전산실험을 통해 제안된 OCR의 성능을 살펴보고 실험실 테스트를 통해 실제 구현된 OCR의 성능을 검증한다.

In [1], it has been shown that the energy spreading transform (EST) based iterative equalizer (IE) could enhance its performance by improving the reliability of the decision feedback symbols without the help of the complicated channel decoder. In the matched filter (MF) based IE proposed in [1], however, its feedforward filter (FFF) has been designed in the frequency domain while its feedback filter (FBF) in the time domain. So its complexity increases proportional to the channel memory length. To solve this problem, in this paper, both FFF and FBF are designed in the frequency domain. This enables the proposed frequency domain IE (FD-IE) to achieve the lower complexity over the conventional method in the highly dispersive channel. In addition, simulation results demonstrate that the BER performance of the proposed method is the same as the conventional.
