MCDD performs demultiplexing and demodulation of multi-carrier signals for signal processing schemes such as switching, channel encoding and remodulation in an OBP satellite. During the demultiplexing procedure, several factors such as frequency offset and/or quantization error degrade BER performance. Hence, influences of those factors should be reduced. A influence of the frequency offset can be reduced by inserting guard band between channels, and that of quantization error can be decreased by quantization level control. In case that the data rate of system is not limited, the guard band and the quantization level do not affect each other. In the other case, however, mutual influence between them should be considered. In this paper, we observe the mutual influence when the data rate of the MCDD is limited, and analyze the BER performance.

This paper addresses the effect of group delay in satellite communication system. Phase of signal is distorted by the non-constant group delay. Group delay can be modeled as linear, parabolic and cubic type according to the polynomial characteristic. We investigate BER performance of satellite communication system with each 3 kinds of group delay. As signal bandwidth becomes wider, group delay makes more influence on the signal. BNR performance of satellite communication system is found when data rates are 1Mbps, 4Mbps and 8Mbps. Convolution coding with the code rate of 1/2 or 7/8 is used. At BER =10$\^$-5/, system with group delay needs more SNR of minimum 0.3㏈ to maximum 4.4㏈ than system without group delay. The worst case of BER performance happens in the linear group delay, 7/8 punctured convolution coding and 8 Mbps. The required SNR is increased by 4.4㏈ at this worst case.

The performance of underwater communication system is influenced on channel characteristic. Delay spread cause by reverberation and multi-path happen the ISI (Inter Symbol Interference) and reduces the communication performance. In this paper, we analyze the performance of acoustic communication experiment in underwater to use the OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technique for overcome the reverberation and multi-path. As a result, we acquired the BER of modulation techniques. The BER of 2kbps data rate is $1.22{\times}10^{-1}$ and BER of 4 kbps data rate is $2.47{\times}10^{-2}$.

We introduce a new space-time signal processing scheme that uses both transmitter diversity technique and transmitter beamforming technique for code-division multiple access (CDMA) systems. Over complex Gaussian Rayleigh channel, the introduced scheme achieves the diveristy gain through the transmitter diversity technique. and the SNR gain by th transmitter beamforming technique. Bit error rate (BER) analyses are given to each of the three cases in which the transmitter diversity scheme, the transmitter beamforming scheme and the introduced scheme are used, in the slowly varying Rayleigh frequency nonselective fading channel. The Monte-Carlo simulation results are shown to match to the analytic results. When the channels between distant antennas are independent, analytic results show that the introduced scheme achieves the lowest $E_{b/}$ $N_{0}$ at target BER 10$^{-6}$ . When the channels between distant antennas are correlated, analytic and simulation results show that the introduced scheme is more robust to the change of channel correlation.n.

This paper presents the communication performance for the radiation pattern reconfigurable antenna in the wearable device measuring bio signal (temperature, blood pressure, pulse etc.) of human body. The operational frequency is 2.4 - 2.5 GHz, which covers Bluetooth communication bandwidth. The maximum gain of the antennas is 1.96 dBi. The proposed antenna is efficiently transmitting and receiving signal by generating two opposite beam directions using two RF switches (PIN diode). Also, we investigated how radiation pattern changes according to three angles ($30^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, $150^{\circ}$) of Top Loading. In this paper, we measured and compared the SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) and BER (Bit Error Rate) performances of the proposed antennas in the condition between an ideal environment of anechoic chamber and smart house existing practical electromagnetic interferences (Universal Software Radio Peripheral, USRP). Throughout the comparing the results of the measurement of two cases, we found that the SNR is degraded over 5dB in average and BER is increased over ten times in maximum, therefore, it is confirmed that the error rate of receiving signal is increased. The measured results of SNR and BER value in this paper able to expect the performance degrading by the interference from the electromagnetic devices.

A digital subscriber line(DSL) has been introduced recently in home and abroad to deliver high speed Internet access services with the large channel and the sheer number of subscribers. It has been processed to standardize the DSL in our country, but the analysis on the DSL is limited to the field trials. Therefore, in this paper we have proposed the techniques related to analysis on the performances of DSL, and estimated its S/N and BER performances. In particular, the channel capacity gained from S/N values was compared with the field trial results in Japn and it was known that the results from this study was proved to be valid. Also, the S/N performance of DSL is degraded due to only Gaussian noise, and BER performance degraded greatly with both the higher frequency and the longer distance. However, results of this analysis can be used as the basic data in specifying the standardization of DSL in the future.

This paper analyses BER (Bit Error Rate) performance of 2-hop wireless communications networks with hybrid decode-and-forward (HDF) relays. The conventional HDF method is usually based on the receive signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the relay to decide whether to forward the decoded data in order to obviate the erroneous detection at the relay. In contrast, we propose a new solution of using log-likelihood ratio (LLR) as an efficient alternative to SNR. The approximate BER expressions of different HDF schemes are also derived and verified by Monte-Carlo simulations. In addition, we compute the optimum thresholds for HDF schemes. A variety of numerical results demonstrate that the new LLR-based HDF significantly outperforms the SNR-based HDF for any threshold level and relay location under flat Rayleigh fading channel plus AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise).

In this paper, we compare the transmission performance of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) under long duration multipath channel environments. This paper generates underwater channels through Bellhop based on the underwater environmental data of the west sea. BER performance of CDMA and OFDM are analyzed through various underwater channels based on the channels. Computer simulations result show that CDMA has better performance than OFDM when multipath delay time of underwater channel is shorter than spreading factor (SF). However, OFDM has better BER performance than CDMA as multi-path delay time increases.

In this paper, we review a trellis-coded orthogonal frequency division multiplex (TC-OFDM) system, which combines OFDM with trellis-coded modulation, for overcoming the frequency selective and multipath fading of time dispersive channels. We simulate and analyse the BER performance of rate 2/3 trellis coded 8DPSK-OFDM over time dispersive channels. Design of the trellis codes at different carrier numbers of OFDM is discussed. Results show that TC-OFDM system can provide 6 dB coding gain at a BER of 10$^{-3}$ compared with OFDM system without coding.

In this paper, we analyze the BER performance of OFDM/QPSK system in frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel with impulsive noise and improve its performance by adopting convolutional coding. When the channel delay time is shorter than the guard band, the OFDM/QPSK system shows a good BER performance while, when the channel delay time becomes longer than the guard band, its BER performance is abruptly degraded. Moreover, when the transmitted signal is contaminated by a strong impulsive noise in the channel, the BER performance falls to about $10^{-1}$. Also, without channel coding technique, the system doesn't meet even the voice service requirement while it meets the data service requirement with convolutional coding in frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel with impulsive noise.
