It is well-known that mobile communication systems are usually limited in their performance and capacity by three major impairments, which are multipath fading, delay spread and co-channel interference (CCI). OFDMA (OFDM-FDMA) system can cope with the multipath fading and delay spread easily due to the beneficial properties of OmM technology. Though OFDMA scheme avoids intra-cell interference using the orthogonality among subcarriers, the scheme contains difficulty of reducing co-channel interference. Therefore, in this paper, adaptive antenna techniques are deployed into OFDMA/TDD system to minimize the co-channel interference induced by adjacent cells and to enhance the uplink performance. For the improvement of downlink performance, we apply TxAA (Transmit Adaptive Array), a kind of transmit diversity technique, utilizing preamble symbols for training antenna may into OFDMA/TDD transmitter side. Simulation results show that the uplink and downlink performance under multipath Rayleigh fading channel improved 9dB and 7dB each compared with the case of single antenna system at target BER $10^{-3}$ .

In this paper, a method for the improvement in the gain and bandwidth of a microstrip-fed broadband planar quasi-Yagi antenna (QYA) is studied. The broadband characteristics of the QYA are achieved from the coplanar strip-fed planar dipole driver and a parasitic director close to the driver. In order to obtain stable gain variation over the required frequency band, a director and a ground reflector are appended to the driver having a nearby parasitic director. The QYA is fed through an integrated balun composed of a microstrip line and a slot line which are terminated in a short circuit. By adjusting the feeding point, a broadband impedance matching is obtained. A QYA with an operating frequency band of 1.75-2.7 GHz and a gain > 4.5 dBi is designed and fabricated on an FR4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.4 and thickness of 1.6mm. The experimental results show that the fabricated antenna has good performance such as a broad bandwidth of 59.7%(1.55-2.87 GHz), a stable gain between 4.7-6.5 dBi, and a front-to-back ratio > 10 dB. The measured data agree well with the simulation, which validates this study.

Radio interference has been occurring in mobile communication services on the southern seashore in Korea. Monitoring the radio interference signal revealed that the main reason for the radio interference was a radio ducting signal coming from the seaside of Japan. In this paper, we have analyzed the effect of interference on WiMAX service using a 2.5 GHz frequency band between Korea and Japan. We focus on the interference scenario from base station to base station and we use the Minimum Coupling Loss (MCL) method for interference analysis and the Advanced Propagation Model (APM) for calculating the propagation loss in ducts. The propagation model is also compared with experimental measurement data. We confirm that the interfering signal strength depends on the antenna height and this result can be applied to deployment planning for each system with an interference impact acceptable to both parties.

Multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system can increase data rate, capacity and bit error rate (BER) performance compare to traditional single antenna system. However MIMO technique is pointed out the problem that has high complexity to design receiver. So a recent trend of research on the MIMO system pays more attention to simplified implementation of receiver structure. In this paper, we propose differential space time block code (STBC) for MIMO system with cyclic delay diversity (CDD). This structure can provide a very close performance to that of the conventional diversity scheme with maximum likelihood (ML) detection without channel estimation block while the receiver structure is highly simplified. Bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed system is simulated for an AWGN channel by theoretical and simulated approaches. The results of this paper can be applicable to the 4G mobile multimedia communication systems.

In this study, the proposed algorithm is a correlativity signal in a mobile wireless channel that has estimated the direction of arrival. The proposed algorithm applied the space average method in a MUSIC algorithm. The diagonal matrix of the space average method was changed to inverse the matrix and to obtain a new signal correlation matrix. The existing algorithm was analyzed and compared by applying a proposed signal correlation matrix to estimate the direction of arrival in a MUSIC algorithm. The experiment resulted in a proposed algorithm with a min-norm method resolution at more than $5^{\circ}$. It improved more than $2^{\circ}$ in a MUSIC algorithm.

For many different types of apertures the diffraction phenomenon on the electromagnetic wave is analyzed by unsing Kirchhoff and Fresnel's diffraction theory. The signal intensity in variation of aperture's parameters is numerically calculated by a computer. To obtain the experimental data many types of apertures were made on an acryl board on which a special materical Elecoat was painted for preventing some reflections on the board surface and transmissions through it. Two Yagi antennas were used for a transmitting and receiving antenna and the frequency was 820MHz. The theoretichal values agreed reasonably with experimental data and these results will be used for a system design in the mobile communication between many buildings in the middle of a city.

Combining OFDMA with MIMO is the key technology for the 4G mobile communication. OFDMA can relieve inherent difficulties of high-speed transmission. MIMO technology can be largely categorized into two techniques: one is STC for diversity gain and the other is SM for high frequency efficiency. In this paper, we depict various MIMO techniques of two transmit antenna and compare the computational complexity of decoding process for the techniques. Then, we analysis the performance of the techniques in the WiBro downlink environment based on OFDMA. We perfer ML algorithm which is the optimum performance and ZF algorithm of least computational complexity for SM detection.

In this paper, how to perform beamforming and power control for the systems with smart antennas is introduced in consideration of macro-diversity, and cell capacity of the systems is analyzed. In the result, as the number of the base stations linked to mobiles increases, capacity increases in the reverse link. On the other hand, macro diversity causes capacity loss in forward link. It is expected that the result of this work may be used in designing the next generation mobile communication systems for high quality services such as multi media data and wireless internet etc.

Interference occurs by signals received from directions that were different from the signals of the users in a mobile communication system. Various studies have been undertaken, including diversity, equalizer, etc., in order to reduce interference. In this study, the weighted value of the array antenna was obtained to improve signal-to-noise ratio. The weighted value was obtained as an eigen value and an eigen vector by using the correlation coefficient of the signal. The weighted value obtained was then applied to the CDMA system to increase system performance and capacity. Both QPSK and OQPSK modulation systems were applied to analyze performance.
