In this paper, an efficient H/W implementation technique for guard interval in OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) systems is proposed and applied to ASIC chip design of an OFDM-based 25 Mbps wireless ATM modem. In OFDM systems, a cyclic prefix, longer than the largest multipath delay spread, is usually inserted to maintain the orthogonality of subchannels, by making the linear convolution of the channel ok like circular convolution inherent to the discreate Fourier domain, as well as to prevent the ISI(Intersymbol Interference) within the OFDM block. However, the OFDM system using the cyclic prefix requires an additional H/W in transmitter in order to store the original samples and to append the cyclic prefix to the beginning of each block. In this paper, a new approach using a cyclic prefix, even with a significantly lower H/W complexity. Finally, the performance of the proposed approach is demonstrated by applying it to ASIC chip design of an OFDM-based 25 Mbps wireless ATM modem.

This paper relates with the VS-QE-MMA (Varying Stepsize-Quantized Error-MMA) based on the varying stepsize for improving the equalization performance in the QE-MMA adaptive equalization algorithm that is possible to reducing the intersymbol interference occurred at channel. The SE-MMA use the high-order statistics of transmitted signal and sign of error signal. The QE-MMA was appeared for the H/W implementation easiness substitutes the multiplication and substraction into the shift and substraction in the updating the tap coefficient based on the power-of-two operation of error signal magnitude. The QE-MMA gives degradation of equalization performance due to the such simplification of arithmetic operation. For improving this problem, the propose algorithm, namely VS-QE-MMA, applies the varying stepsize of the nonlinear transformation of error signal. It was confirmed by simulation that the VS-QE-MMA gives better performance than current QE-MMA in the same channel and signal to noise ratio. As a result of simulation, the VS-QE-MMA has more better performance in the every performance index, and it was also confirmed that the varying stepsize effect can be obtained in the greater than 10dB of signal to noise ratio.

This paper describes an equalizer using the DFE (Decision Feedback Equalizer) structure, CMA (Constant Modulus Algorithm) and LMS (Least Mean Square) algorithms. The DFE structure has better channel adaptive performance and lower BER than the transversal structure. The proposed equalizer can be used for 16/64 QAM modems. We employ high speed multipliers, square logics and many CSAs (Carry Save Adder) for high speed operations. We have developed floating-point models and fixed-point models using the COSSAP$\^$TM/ CAD tool and developed VHDL filter. The proposed equalizer shows low BER in multipath fading channel. We have performed models. From the simulation results, we employ a 12 tap feedback filter and a 8 tap feedforward logic synthesis using the SYNOPSYS$\^$TM/ CAD tool and the SAMSUNG 0.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ standard cell library (STD80) and verified function and timing simulations. The total number of gates is about 130,000.

Underwater acoustic(UWA) communication has multipath error because of reflection by sea-level and sea-bottom. The multipath of UWA channel causes signal distortion and error floor. In this paper, we proposed the compensation method of multipath effect using the impulse response of the UWA channel and then analysis the performance of channel coding such as LDPC code, concatenate code. Also we analysed the time-delay errors and estimated amplitude errors of estimated channel information and its affection on the performance. As shown in simulation results, the performance of proposed compensation method is better than the performance of conventional method.

This paper related with the performance evaluation of H-MMA (Hybrid-MMA) which is applying the adaptive modulus and adaptive step size concept to MMA adaptive equalization algorithm in order to reduce the intersymbol interference that is occurred in communication channel for digital code transmission. In the conventional MMA adaptive equalizer, the coefficient is updated by using the equalizer output and possible to compensation of amplitude and phase in 2nd dimensional QAM signal, the equalization performance were degraded due to fixed modulus and step size. For the overcomming the abovemensioned problem, it is possible to improving the equalization performance in the 2nd dimensional QAM signal by applying the adaptive modulus and adaptive step size propotional to equalizer output signal to the conventional MMA algorithm. The computer simulation was performed in the same channel for the compare the performance of MMA and proposed H-MMA which is proposed in this paper. As a result of simulation, the proposed H-MMA has slower convergence time in order to arriving the steady state than MMA. But after the steady state, H-MMA has more superior to the MMA in every performance index and the equalization noise was reduced.

This paper relates with the robustness performance improvement of QE-MMA (Quantized Error-MMA) adaptive equalization algorithm based on the dithering in order to reduce the intersymbol interference by nonlinear distortion occurs at channel. The QE-MMA was appeared for the easiness of H/W implementation in place of multiplication to shifting in the tap coefficient updates applying the power-of-two operation to the magnitude of error signal in currently SE-MMA, it's performance were degraded by this. For improving it's performance, the proposed DQE-MMA adds the dither signal which has constant statistical characteristics in the prestage of power-of-two operation. It was confirmed by simulation that the DQE-MMA gives better robustness performance than current QE-MMA in the same channel and signal to noise ratio.

DFDM is a good candidate for beyond-3G high-speed wireless communication application because of the robustness to the intersymbol interference and multipath fading. However. an OFDM signal has a serious problem of the high PAPR, which results in the significant nonlinear distortion when it passes through a nonlinear high power amplifier. We propose a new PAPR reduction method using pre-emphasis and clipping. Via the proposed method, the OFDM output signal can have a low PAPR and BER improvement. Then. de-emphasis process is requisite in OFDM receiver. PAPR is reduced to about 5.7 ㏈ at the CCDF= 10$\^$-3/ when the subcarrier number is 16, QPSK modulation is used. pre-emphasis change point Is 3/9 of the peak amplitude of the IFFT output and clipping level is 11 in the IFFT output amplitude. The required SNR at BER=10$\^$-3/ the proposed system is improved by 2 dB than that of the original OFDM system.

This paper proposes the improving the equalization performance using the variable step size in the S-MMA (Sliced-Multi Modulus Algorithm) equalization algorithm in order to minimize the effect of intersymbol interference which occurs at the nonlinear transfer function of communication channel. The S-MMA were showned for the improving the steady state equalization performance and misadjustment compared to the MMA present algorithm, this two algorithm has a limitation of performance improvement due to the adapting the fixed step size according to the error signal amplitude. In order to solving the abovemensioned problem, the proposed algorithm was adopting the variable step size proportional to the error signal amplitude and the computer simulation was performed for showing the performance improving. As a result of simulation, the proposed VSS S-MMA algorithm has more superior equalization performance compared to the present S-MMA.

For obtain the error signal in order to updating the tap coefficient of conventional adaptive equalization algorithm MMA, the CR-MMA converts the constellation reduction concept of high order 2-dimensional QAM nonconstant modulus signal to constant modulus signal and the CM-MMA use the constellation matchine error concept in order to force the matching the $2^{nd}$ and $4^{th}$ cumulant of equalizer output and transmitted signal constellation. By applying the different method for getting the error signal, these algorithm are possible to obtain the improved equalization performance compared to the conventional MMA algorithm, the improved performance of CR-MMA and CM-MMA were compared by computer simulation in this paper. As a result of simulation, the CM-MMA has more better performance in the equalizer internal performance than CR-MMA, but not in equalizer external performance as in SER.

In this paper, to eliminate intersymbol interference of the received signal due to multipath propagation, a parallel equalization algorithm using two error estimation functions is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, multilevel two-dimensional signals are considered as equivalent binary signals, then error signals are estimated using the sigmoid nonlinearity effective at the initial phase equalization and threshold nonlinearity with high steady-state performance. The two errors are scaled by a weight depending on the relative accuracy of the two error estimations, then two filters are updated differentially. As a result, the combined output of two filters was to be the optimum value, fast convergence at initial stage of equalization and low steady-state error level were achieved at the same time thanks to the combining effect of two operation modes smoothly. Usefulness of the proposed algorithm was verified and compared with the conventional method through computer simulations.
