In Japan, high-speed ground transportation service using linear motors at speeds of 500 km/h is scheduled to begin in 2027. To accommodate 5G services in trains, a subcarrier spacing frequency of 30 kHz will be used instead of the typical 15 kHz subcarrier spacing to mitigate Doppler effects in such high-speed transport. Furthermore, to increase the cell size of the 5G mobile system, multiple base station antennas will transmit identical downlink (DL) signals to form an expanded cell size along the train rails. In this situation, the forward and backward antenna signals are Doppler-shifted in opposite directions, respectively, so the receiver in the train may suffer from estimating the exact Channel Transfer Function (CTF) for demodulation. In a previously published paper, we proposed a channel estimator based on Delay and Doppler Profiler (DDP) in a 5G SISO (Single Input Single Output) environment and successfully implemented it in a signal processing simulation system. In this paper, we extend it to 2×2 MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) with spatial multiplexing environment and confirm that the delay and DDP based channel estimator is also effective in 2×2 MIMO environment. Its simulation performance is compared with that of a conventional time-domain linear interpolation estimator. The simulation results show that in a 2×2 MIMO environment, the conventional channel estimator can barely achieve QPSK modulation at speeds below 100 km/h and has poor CNR performance versus SISO. The performance degradation of CNR against DDP SISO is only 6dB to 7dB. And even under severe channel conditions such as 500km/h and 8-path inverse Doppler shift environment, the error rate can be reduced by combining the error with LDPC to reduce the error rate and improve the performance in 2×2 MIMO. QPSK modulation scheme in 2×2 MIMO can be used under severe channel conditions such as 500 km/h and 8-path inverse Doppler shift environment.

An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based wireless communication system has drawn wide attention for its high transmission rate and high spectrum efficiency in not only radio but also Underwater Acoustic (UWA) applications. Because of the narrow sub-carrier spacing of OFDM, orthogonality between sub-carriers is easily affected by Doppler effect caused by the movement of transmitter or receiver. Previously, Doppler compensation signal processing algorithm for Desired propagation path was proposed. However, other Doppler shifts caused by delayed Undesired signal arriving from different directions cannot be perfectly compensated. Then Receiver Bit Error Rate (BER) is degraded by Inter-Carrier-Interference (ICI) caused in the case of Multi-path Doppler channel. To mitigate the ICI effect, a modified Delay and Doppler Profiler (mDDP), which estimates not only attenuation, relative delay and Doppler shift but also sampling clock shift of each multi-path component, is proposed. Based on the outputs of mDDP, an ICI canceling multi-tap equalizer is also proposed. Computer simulated performances of one-tap equalizer with the conventional Time domain linear interpolated Channel Transfer Function (CTF) estimator, multi-tap equalizer based on mDDP are compared. According to the simulation results, BER improvement has been observed. Especially, in the condition of 16QAM modulation, transmitting vessel speed of 6m/s, two-path multipath channel with direct path and ocean surface reflection path; more than one order of magnitude BER reduction has been observed at CNR=30dB.

A 500 km/h linear motor high speed terrestrial transportation service is planned to launch 2027 in Japan. In order to support 5G service in the train, the Sub-carrier spacing frequency of 30 kHz is planned to be used instead of common 15 kHz sub-carrier spacing to mitigate Doppler effect in such high-speed transportation. In addition, to increase the cell size of 5G mobile system, plural Base Station antenna will transmit the identical Down Link (DL) signal to form the expanded cell size along the train rail. In this situation, forward and backward antenna signals will be Doppler shifted by reverse direction respectively and the receiver in the train might suffer to estimate accurate Channel Transfer Function (CTF) for its demodulation. In this paper, Delay and Doppler Profiler (DDP) based Channel Estimator is proposed and it is successfully implemented in signal processing simulation system. Then the simulated performances are compared with the conventional Time domain linear interpolated estimator. According to the simulation results, QPSK modulation can be used even under severe channel condition such as 500 km/h, 2 path reverse Doppler Shift condition, although QPSK modulation can be used less than 200 km/h with conventional Channel estimator.

Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation is considered as one of the solutions to cope with high mobility channel environments. It converts the time-varying channel to the near-constant channel response in the delay-Doppler domain. This modulation scheme also benefits from the diversity in two-dimensional modulation. According to recent researches, this method outperforms the conventional OFDM modulation, especially in high-speed channel conditions. In this paper, to investigate the performance of OTFS in a practical system, channel estimation in the delay-Doppler domain is compared with the conventional method in the time-frequency domain at different mobile speeds. Simulation results confirm that the delay-Doppler domain channel estimation brings a better performance compared to the conventional one under the same overhead rate.

In this paper, we present the performances of a Doppler system using single channel RF(Radio Frequency) sampling. This technique consists of undersampling the ultrasonic blood backscattered RF signal on a single channel. Conventional undersampling method in Doppler imaging system have to use a minimum of two identical parallel demodulation channels to reconstruct the multigate analytic Doppler signal. However, this system suffers from hardware complexity and problem of unbalance(gain and phase) between the channels. In order to reduce these problems, we have realized a multigate pulsed Doppler system using undersampling on a single channel, It requires sampling frequency at $4f_o$(where $f_o$ is the center frequency of the transducer) and 12bits A/D converter. The proposed " single-Channel RF Sampling" method aims to decrease the required sampling frequency proportionally to $4f_o$/(2k+1). To show the influence of the factor k on the measurements, we have compared the velocity profiles obtained in vitro and in vivo for different intersequence delays time (k=0 to 10). We have used a 4MHz center frequency transducer and a Phantom Doppler system with a laminar stationary flow. The axial and volumetric velocity profiles in the vessel have been computed according to factor k and have been compared. The influence of the angle between the ultrasonic beam and the flow axis direction, and the fluid viscosity on the velocity profiles obtained for different values of k factor is presented. For experiment in vivo on the carotid, we have used a data acquisition system with a sampling frequency of 20MHz and a dynamic range of 12bits. We have compared the axial velocity profiles in systole and diastole phase obtained for single channel RF sampling factor.ng factor.

In this paper we proposed a dada-aided Doppler estimation method for underwater acoustic communication. The training sequence is non-dedicate, hence it can be designed for Doppler estimation as well as channel equalization. We assume the channel has been equalized and consider only flat-fading channel. First, based on the training symbols the theoretical received sequence is composed. Next the least square principle is applied to build the objective function, which minimizes the error between the composed and the actual received signal. Then an iterative approach is applied to solve the least square problem. The proposed approach involves an outer loop and inner loop, which resolve the channel gain and Doppler coefficient, respectively. The theoretical performance bound, i.e. the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) of estimation is also derived. Computer simulations results show that the proposed algorithm achieves the CRLB in medium to high SNR cases.

WCDMA 시스템에서 동기 검파는 시스템의 용량을 증가시키기 위한 중요한 기술이다. WCDMA 시스템에서 동기 검파를 구현하기 위해서는 전송 채널의 페이딩을 보상하기 위한 정확한 채널 추정 알고리즘이 필요하다. 차세대 이동 통신 시스템에서는 높은 반송파 주파수를 사용하며, 고속으로 움직이는 이동체를 위한 서비스를 제공해야 하므로, 신호에 작용하는 도플러 주파수는 신호를 감쇄시키며 채널 추정의 성능을 떨어뜨리게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이동 통신 채널에서 발생하는 도플러 효과에 의한 채널 페이딩을 보상하기 위한 방법으로 early-late 도플러 보상 기법을 이용한 채널 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. Early-late 도플러 보상을 이용한 채널 추정 기법을 사용하는 경우에는 신호의 Eb/No 값이 일정 임계치 이상으로만 전송이 되면 채널 추정의 성능이 기존의 방식에 비하여 탁월하게 개선되는 것을 볼 수 있다.

이동 통신 시스템에서 이동체의 속도 추정은 수신신호의 최대 도플러 주파수를 찾는 과정이다. 하지만 실제적인 이동 통신 환경에서 이동체의 속도 추정은 부가된 잡음의 영향으로 많은 왜곡을 가지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이동 통신 환경에서 최대 도플러 주파수 추정 시 부가 잡음의 영향을 억제하기 위한 결정 궤환 적응형 대역 제한(Decision Feedback Doppler Adaptive Band-Limit : DF-DABL) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘에서는 잡음의 2차 통계 특성을 대역 제한 방법을 통하여 신호의 특성과 일치하게 함으로서 부가된 잡음의 영향을 효과적으로 제거한다. 특히 제안된 방법에서는 신호대잡음비 (SNR)와 같은 추가 채널 정보를 필요로 하지 않는다.

본 논문은 음선 기반 블라인드 디컨볼루션을 이용하여 송 수신기의 상대적인 이동으로 인한 도플러 편이가 존재하는 수중 음향 채널 환경에서의 송신 신호 및 채널 임펄스 응답 추정에 대한 방법을 제시한다. 도플러 편이가 존재하는 수중 채널 환경에서 m시퀀스와 같은 도플러 효과에 민감한 탐침 신호를 사용할 경우, 도플러 왜곡에 의한 수신 신호와의 낮은 상관도에 의해 정합 필터 처리만으로는 채널 임펄스 응답 추정에 어려움이 따른다. 본 연구에서는 음선기반 블라인드 디컨볼루션을 이용하여 도플러 편이가 포함되어 있는 송신 신호의 위상을 추정한 후, 이를 수신 신호에 보상함으로써 도플러 편이가 보상된 채널 임펄스 응답 추정에 대한 방법을 제안한다. 해상실험을 통해 측정된 수신 데이터에 대하여 정합 필터만으로는 채널 임펄스 응답 추정이 어려운 반면 제안된 방법을 통한 채널 임펄스 응답 추정 시, 음선 모델에서 예측된 전달경로와 유사한 특성을 보여주는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 산란 함수를 통해 추정된 도플러를 보상한 송신 신호에 비해 음선 기반 블라인드 디컨볼루션을 이용하여 복원한 송신 신호가 더 우수한 도플러 보상효과를 나타낸다.
