Despite the successful launch of Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 broadcasting worldwide, broadcasters are facing obstacles in constructing void-less large-scale single-frequency networks (SFNs). The bottleneck is the absence of decent on-channel repeater (OCR) solutions necessary for SFNs. In the real world, OCRs suffer from the maleficent feedback interference (FI) problem, which overwhelms the desired input signal. Moreover, the undesired multipaths between studio-linked transmitters and the OCR deteriorate the forward signals' quality as well. These problems crucially restrict the feasibility of conventional OCR systems, arousing the strong need for cost-worthy advanced OCR solutions. This paper presents an ATSC 3.0-specific solution of advanced OCR that solves the FI problem and refines the input signal. To this end, the FI canceler and channel equalizer functionalities are carefully implemented into the OCR system. The presented OCR system is designed to be fully compliant with the ATSC 3.0 specifications and performs a fast and efficient signal processing by exploiting the specific frame structure. The real product of ATSC 3.0 OCR is fabricated as well, and its feasibility is verified via field and laboratory experiments. The implemented solution is installed at a commercial on-air site and shown to provide substantial coverage gain in practice.

We present an improved V-BLAST receiver that cancels co-channel interference (CCI), based on reliability normalization over frequency-selective channels, in log-likelihood ratio (LLR) sense. The performance has been evaluated in the exponential decay channel model with various normalized ms delay spread and different filter taps. It is also compared with the ordered successive interference cancellation-decision feedback equalizer (OSIC-DFE). Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed receiver with (2,1) is close to OSIC-DFE with (6,3) at normalized ms delay spread 0.5 symbol periods.

This paper discusses the development of an acoustic vector channel simulator for the performance analysis of an acoustic digital communication system. The channel simulator consists of transmission module, acoustic channel model, receiver, beamformer, and adaptive equalizer. The source signal (QPSK) is generated by the specified parameters. The transmitted signal generates multipath signals which have a different delay, amplitude and doppler frequency. The paper presents in details the approach to the performance analysis of an acoustic digital communication system according to the antenna structure and the various baseband signal processing techniques.

This paper deals with an inverse modeling of nonminimum phase communication channel utilizing the HOS (High Order Statistics) of the received signal. After the communication channel is separated into the minimum phase and maximum phase components, the inverse modeling is performed independently. The performance superiority is confirmed by monte-carlo computer simulation in comparison with the traditional CMA (Constant Modulus Algorithm) method. By utilizing the proposed algorithm employing the HOS of the received signal, the inverse frequency characteristics of the channel can be obtained withoug transmitted signal in digital communication. This algorithm is required in preprocessing or postprocessing in order to remove the channel effect, and effective in the self adaptive equalizer which can minimize the bit error rate or symbol error rate in the recovry of received signal.

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 thesis, a new channel estimation technique is proposed for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) over time varying channels. The channel estimation algorithm exploits the fact that the estimated channel impulse response (CIR) by using pilot signal is the average value of the CIR variation within an OFDM symbol period. With this fact, the CIR variation is simply estimated through lowpass interpolation of the CIRs of the adjacent OFDM symbols. For signal detection, a time domain equalizer is used in this thesis. Simulation results show that the proposed system improves the bit error rate (BER) over time varying channels.

In This paper, a pole-zero optimized design method for multi-layed planar interdigital stripeline linear group delay bandpass filter with tap input port is presented. As a design example, a four-pole group delay filter with center frequency of 2.14GHz, bandwidth of 160MHz, and group delay variation of ${\pm}0.1nS$ for LTCC technology or multilayerd PCB technology is designed. In the design process, as well the whole structure is not necessary to be simulated, and within three times of optimizing process we have good result as well. This design method could be useful for controlling error correction of manufacturing process as well as design stage.

In this paper, we present performance analysis of an IEEE P802.15.3a high rate wireless personal area network transceiver. This physical layer standard uses QOSK as its sub-channel modulation scheme and orthogonal frequency domain modulation (OFDM) for sub-bands. OFDM is used for each sub-band so that multi-path effects are absorbed by equalizer and guard, and fading can be approximately modeled as additive white Gaussian noise. In multi-band ultra-wideband system, DAC quantization error is important noise source since high resolution conversion cannot be used due to high power consumption. Simulation result shows that, to get 640-Mbps throughput, at least 5-bits precision is necessary to maintain bit-error rate under 10$\^$-2/, which can be lowered, with channel coding, to 10$\^$-6/ that is the bit-error rate required by IEEE 802.15 upper protocol layer, in 4-meter LOS fading channel.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11a 표준안으로 확정된 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 방식을 적용한 고속 무선 LAN의 최적 시스템을 설계하기 위하여 실내 채널 특성들을 분석하였다. 통계적 채널 모델링 및 JTC(Joint Technical Committee) 모델에서의 실내 및 실외 환경을 선택하여 채널에 따른 고속 무선 LAN 시스템을 모의 실험하였다. 또한 채널에 의한 열화를 보상하기 위하여 무선 LAN 표준안에 따른 긴 훈련 신호를 이용한 채널 등화기법인 LS(Least Square) 방식과 LMMSE(Linear Minimum Mean Square Error) 방식을 비교 분석하였다. LS 기법과 본 논문에서 제시한 LS 방식으로 채널의 지연 확산 rms(root mean square) 값을 추정한 후 LMMSE 기법을 사용한 경우의 차이점을 고찰하였다. 이러한 LMMSE 기법을 채택할 경우 LS 기법에 비해 실외환경과 같은 열악한 채널환경 하에서도 시스템 성능에 상당한 개선효과가 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다.

무선 다중경로 채널에서 데이터를 고속으로 전송할 경우, 신호는 페이딩, ISI(inter-symbol interfrence) 등의 영향으로 높은 에러율을 가지게 된다. 현재의 DSRC 시스템은 1Mbps 이상의 데이터 서비스가 어려울 것으로 예상되므로 개선된 변복조방식이 요구된다. OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 방식은 보호기간의 삽입을 통하여 ISI를 방지할 수 있으므로 고속 데이터 전송에 적합하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다중경로 페이딩 환경에서 시뮬레이션을 통하여 12 Mbps 전송 속도를 갖는 OFDM/QPSK 통신 시스템의 BER 성능을 비교${\cdot}$분석하고 다중경로 페이딩 환경에서 채널 상태를 추정 보상하기 위하여 판정 궤환경 등화기(Decision Feedback Equalizer)를 적용하여 시스템 성능을 개선하였다.
