A novel pre-equalization method for terrestrial DTV transmitters is presented. A pre-equalizer has been used in transmitters to correct group delay and amplitude distortions caused by a channel filter. In the proposed pre-equalizer, an equation-error adaptive IIR filtering scheme is adopted unlike the conventional pre-equalization using FIR filtering schemes. The pole-zero modelling property of IIR filters improves the signal-to-noise ratio and may deal with diverse linear distortions existing in DTV transmitters as well as the channel filter distortion. Simulation results show that the proposed IIR pre-equalizer performs better than the FIR pre-equalizer in terms of the residual mean-square error.

본 논문에서는 비선형 블라인드 채널등화기의 구현을 위하여 가우시안 가중치(gaussian weights)를 이용한 개선된 퍼지 클러스터(Modified Fuzzy C-Means with Gaussian Weights: MFCM_GW) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 기존 FCM 알고리즘의 유클리디언 거리(Euclidean distance) 값 대신 Bayesian Likelihood 목적함수(fitness function)와 가우시안 가중치가 적용된 멤버쉽 매트릭스(partition matrix)를 이용하여, 비선형 채널의 출력으로 수신된 데이터들로부터 최적의 채널 출력 상태 값(optimal channel output states)들을 직접 추정한다. 이렇게 추정된 채널 출력 상태 값들로 비선형 채널의 이상적 채널 상태(desired channel states) 벡터들을 구성하고, 이를 Radial Basis Function(RBF) 등화기의 중심(center)으로 활용함으로써 송신된 데이터 심볼을 찾아낸다. 실험에서는 무작위 이진 신호에 가우시안 잡음이 추가된 데이터를 사용하여 기존의 Simplex Genetic Algorithm(GA), 하이브리드 형태의 GASA(GA merged with simulated annealing (SA)), 그리고 과거에 발표되었던 MFCM 등과 그 성능을 비교 분석하였으며, 가우시안 가중치가 적용된 MFCM_GW를 이용한 채널등화기가 상대적으로 정확도와 속도 면에서 우수함을 보였다.

In this paper, the characteristic of the equalizer using Lattice filter was investigated in channel ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference) in OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) system. The equalizer using lattice filter has more fast convergence and little equalization error characteristic in two number of tap by orthogonal effect of each tap than another equalizers. The filter coefficient convergency and static BER (bit error ratio) characteristic was analysed by computer simulation. In this paper, it is shown that the equalizer using lattice filter has the better performance than a equalizer which makes use of another equalization method.

The signal in wireless multi-path channel is affected by fading and ISI because of high data rate transmission, so the signal has the high error rate. The present modulation and demodulation method of DSRC system can not expect sufficient for providing data service over 1 Mbps, so the channel equalization and advanced modulation and demodulation methods are required. OFDM method is generally Inon as an effective technique for high data rate transmission system, since it can prevent ISI by inserting a guard interval. However, a guard interval longer than channel delay spread has to be used in each OFDM symbol period, thus resulting a considerable loss in the efficiency of channel utilization. Therefore the equalizer is necessary to cancel ISI to accommodate advanced ISI service with higher bit rate and longer channel delay spread condition. In this thesis, the channel equalizer for the OFDM-DSRC system was designed and its performance in a multi-path fading environment was evaluated with computer simulation. As a result, the performance of Pseudo LMMSE equalizer for the OFDM-DSRC has been improved comparing with LS equalizer at higher bit rate transmission system.

This paper investigates the performance of Turbo equalization in wireless multipath channels. Turbo equalization mainly consists of a SISO(soft-in soft-out) equalizer and a SISO decoder. Iterative channel estimators can improve the accuracy of channel estimates by soft information fed back from the SISO decoder. Comparing iterative channel estimators with LMS(least mean square) and RLS(recursive least squares) algorithms, which are the most common algorithms to estimate and track a time-varying channel impulse response, the iterative channel estimator with RLS converges more faster than the one with LMS. However, the difference of BER(bit error rate) performances gradually decreases as the number of iterations for Turbo equalization increases.

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.

Adaptive equalizers are inevitable schemes in digital communication systems for compensating the transmission channel distortion. Additionally, to obtain the required BER(Bit Error Rate), the adaptive algorithms appropriate to the mobile communication channels are required. In this paper, we propose the NPDFE (Noise-Predictive Decision Feedback Equalizer) for communication systems performance improvement in mobile communication channels. The performance of the proposed NPDFE with QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) is simulated under AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise), Ricean fading, ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) fading, and Rayleigh fading channels. The equalizers used in simulations are a LE (Linear Equalizer), a DFE (Decision Feedback Equalizer), and a NPDFE. Moreover, the equalizer performance criterion of the QPSK is the BER.

필터뱅크를 기반으로 하는 이산 웨이브렛 멀티톤(DWMT) 데이터 전송 시스템은 전송 채널의 영향으로 발생하는 심벌간 및 부채널간의 간섭 잡음에 민감하다. 본 논문에서 제안한 시간 영역 등화기(TEQ)는 전송 채널 응답의 길이를 단축시키는 TEQ-S와 전송 채널의 주파수 특성을 향상시키는 TEQ-C등 2단계로 이루어져 있다. 제안한 시간영역 등화기(TEQ)를 DWMT 데이터 전송 시스템에 적용하면 많은 간섭 성분을 감소시킬 수 있어 하드웨어적으로 보다 간단한 FEQ로도 잔여 간섭 잡음을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있다.

In order to use limited frequency resources efficiently, a single frequency network using digital on-channel repeater(DOCR) has been studied and would be implemented. The DOCR generates strong pre-ghosts to ATSC DTV receivers. The forward filter of equalizer in ATSC DTV receivers compensates the distortion made by pre-ghosts. This process induces noise enhancement and colored noise, thereby results in the performance degradation. In this paper we propose to use a dual-feedback equalizer to combat strong pre-ghosts. The proposed equalizer has two feedback filters. One is the decision feedback filter and the other is non-decision feedback filter. The additional non-decision feedback filter decreases the noise by whitening the noise and preventing the generation of colored noise in pre-ghost channel. Thus the equalization technique of dual-feedback structure has performance enhancement in pre-ghost channel in comparison with conventional decision feedback equalizer(DFE). By simulation we analyzed the performance enhancements of DTV receiver using dual-feedback equalization structure.
