We present a weather-insensitive optical free-space communication method supporting optical packet channels. It operates optical fiber amplifiers in gain-saturation regions. When the propagation loss gets too high, it decreases the average packet rate, or the average packet length, or both, to increase the optical power level launched into the free-space. As a demonstration, we transmit $8{\times}10$ Gigabit Ethernet channels over a terrestrial distance of 2.4 km. One gain-saturated free-space optical repeater is used at the halfway point.

In this paper the system performance degradation resulting from nonlinear transmitter power amplifier which is essential to increase the efficiency is analysed in a CDMA system. The power amplifier is modeled by its AM-AM, AM-PM characteristics. The effects of power amplifier's nonlinearity such as intersymbol interference, phase distonion on the RF system performance were visualized by examining the distorted time domain waveforms, signal vector constellation. And through the investigation of the power spectrum density of the transmitted signal, spectral regrowth or sideband regrowth which is result from amplitude distortion can be seen. All these characteristics result in BER performance degradation due to other user interferences and intersymbol interference. The analysis technique described here applies not only to power amplifier but also to any other nonlinear components such as mixers and switches. Also the effects of adjacent channel interference and supurious emission can be analysed between different systems.

1.3$mu extrm{m}$ 대역에서 증폭특성을 갖는 광섬유 증폭기인 Praseodymium-doped fiber amplifier(PDFA)는 Ohishi 등에 의해서 처음으로 제안되었다. 수십 nm의 이득 대역폭을 갖고, 30dB 이상의 높은 신호 이득을 갖는 PDFA는 1.3～l.6$\mu\textrm{m}$에 이르는 광대역 WDM을 위한 중요한 증폭기로 사용되고 있다. 최근에는 1.3~1.6$\mu\textrm{m}$에 이르는 광대역 WDM을 위해 광섬유 증폭기의 이득을 shift시키고, 이득 평탄화를 위한 많은 연구가 진해되어 지고 있으나, 광섬유 내에서 초고속의 광 신호를 증폭 시 발생할 수 있는 상호채널 간섭, 상호변조 왜곡, bit rate 높은 펄스열의 증폭 시 발생할 수 있는 이득소멸(gain depletion)과 이득회복(gain recovery) 등과 같은 과도응답 현상에 관한 연구는 충분히 보고되어있지 않다.

We evaluate the BER performance of OFDMA system for Wibro services in frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel, considering the carrier frequency offset and the nonlinear high power amplifier. In the uplink OFDMA, nonlinear amplifier and frequency offset introduce larger BER degradation than in the downlink. We explain the reason and obtain the required output back-off of the nonlinear amplifier and value of frequency offset for good BER performance.

Currently digital communication system adapt various digital modulation schemes. All these communication systems are required to cause the minimum interference to adjacent channels, they must therefore employ the linear power amplifiers. In respect to linear power amplifiers, there are many linearization techniques. Feedforward power amplifier represent very wide bandwidth and high linearization capability. In the feedforward systems overall efficiency is reduced due to the loss of delay line. In this paper, delay filter instead of transmission delay line adapted to get more high efficiency. Experimental results showed that ACLR has improved 17.04dB which is added 2.54dB by using the delay filter.

This paper describes a low-power baseband circuit for SAW-less LTE-Advanced transmitters. The proposed transmitter baseband circuit consists of a 2nd-order Tow-Thomas type active RC-LPF and a 1st-order passive RC LPF. It can provide a 7 multi-channel cut-off frequencies and wide gain control range of -41 dB ~ 0 dB with a 1-dB step. The proposed 2nd-order active RC-LPF adopts an op-amp in which three other sub-op amps are in parallel connected to reduce DC current for different cutoff frequency. In addition, each sub-op amp adopts both Miller and feed-forward phase compensation method to achieve an UGBW of more than 1-GHz with a small DC power consumption. The proposed baseband circuit is implemented in 65-nm CMOS technology, consuming DC power from 6.3 mW to 24.1 mW from a 1.2V supply voltage for each different cut-off frequency.

To reduce the nonlinear distortion of high power amplifier(HPA) in down link OFCDM system to employ time domain spreading, we apply technology which transmits MPSK(Multilevel-PSK) signal after clipping on multilevel input signal of IFFT subcarrier. In case that the nonlinear distortion of HPA is considered in AWGN channel, performacne of clipping OFCDM system using extended m sequence is over 2.2㏈ better than that of OFCDM system using extended m sequence when the number of user is 8 and 16. In case that the nonlinear distortion of HPA is considered in quasi-static channel, performacne of clipping OFCDM system using extended m code is over 2㏈ better than that of OFCDM system using extended m sequence when the number of user is 8 and 16.

Multi-Code CDMA (MC-CDMA) can not only be integrated easily with a conventional system, but also achieve good spectral efficiency and high processing gain. However, it suffers from high value of peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). In this paper, we propose the Multi-Phase CDMA (MP-CDMA) system that can provide variable rate service and is not susceptible to the non-linear characteristics of amplifier. The clipping is introduced between at the output of multi-code modulator and at the input of MPSK modulator in order to improve the performance of MPSK chip demodulator and reduce the system complexity, The system performances are compared for the different Number of codes and different clipping levels, respectively. The optimum clipping level is also evaluated for the different number of codes in both, AWGN and frequency flat fading channel.

파장분할다중화(WDM) 방식은 그 풍부한 수용능력 때문에 늘어나는 인터넷 망 또는 고품질 통신망의 대용량 정보수요를 충족할 수 있는 최상의 해법이다. WDM 방식을 이용한 광전송시스템은 관리가 용이하고 설치비가 저렴하여, 최근 십여년 간 집중적으로 연구 개발되어지고 있다. 수 년 전까지도 이 분야의 주된 연구목적은 WDM 채널간의 최소간격을 1000Hz로 고정하고 채널 수를 늘려서 전체 광전송 용량을 증가시키려는 것이었다. 그러나 점차 광섬유의 손실을 보상하기 위해 사용되는 광섬유 증폭기의 비용부담이 증가하면서 채널간격을 줄여 대역효율을 높이는 전송기술이 연구되고 있다.(중략)

채널 레벨 컨트롤러는 DWDM(Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) 방식의 OXC(Optical Cross Connect), OADM(Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer), 광 증폭기(EDFA : Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier) 둥의 시스템에서 채널별 광신호의 세기를 조절하여 시스템의 신뢰성을 높이는 중요한 제어기다. 본 논문에서는 12채널 VOA(Variable Optical Attenuator) 4개를 사용하여 40채널의 광 신호 레벨을 제어할 수 있는 컨트롤러를 구현하였다. 각 채널의 광 신호 레벨을 제어하는데 하나의 마이크로 프로세서가 5개의 채널을 제어하고 총 8개의 마이크로프로세서로 40채널을 분산 제어하도록 구성하였다. 또한 외부와 통신을 하고 사용자로부터의 명령을 각각의 마이크로프로세서에 전달하기 위한 마이크로프로세서를 추가하였으며, 출력되는 광 신호의 세기를 측정하여 VOA를 제어하는데 있어서 VOA 출력에서 바로 PD(Photo Detector)로 입력하여 AWC(Arrayed Waveguide Grating) 출력에서 광 신호를 다시 분파하여 PD에 입력하는 번거로움을 개선하였다.
