In this paper, the performance of DS-CDMA system with smart antenna is analyzed for different bandwidths (1.25MHz,5MHz) and different channel environments (rural, urban) in wideband multipath channel. For the analysis of smart antenna system, the vector channel having the spatio-temporal correlation is modeled as a time-variant linear filter in time, and each multipath is assumed as a reflective wave from only one direction (only one cluster) in space. Several multipath is within one chip are distingushed into each one and the strongest signal is selected, DS-CDMA system with smart antenna using wider bandwidth present better performance than that using narrow bandwidth. It is shown that the smart antenna is more effective in urban area when using 2D-RAKE receiver.

In this paper, influences of a ultra wideband (UWB) antenna on impulse channel measurement are investigated in time domain (TD) and frequency domain (FD) as well. Firstly, impulse response of an UWB antenna is obtained and then using the result of impulse response of the UWB antenna, influences of the antenna on impulse radio channel is analyzed. Furthermore, using the impulse response of the UWB anenna, method of impulse radio channel analysis is presented by excluding the effect of the antenna from an impulse radio channel. For verifying the theory, a modified conical monopole antenna is designed for measuring impulse radio channel and its impulse response is obtained. After that, in order to investigate the effects of the UWB antenna on an impulse radio channel, multipath environments are set up in an anechonic chamber and transmission coefficient for each multipath environment is measured with an aid of vector network analyzer. Data measured in frequency domain is transformed into those in time domain by way of signal processing. Measurement shows that such properties of the antenna as dispersion and ringing affect impulse radio channel. Moreover, using the impulse response of the antenna, impulse response of only multipath channel is obtained.

In this paper, the Eigen-RAKE receiver in wideband direct sequence code-division multiple access(DS-CDMA) systems with downlink smart antenna is analyzed for different spreading bandwidths(1.25 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz) and different channel environments(macro, micro). The realistic spatio-temporal wideband multipath channel is assumed, one of which is standardized multiple-input single-output(MISO) radio channel model for WCDMA link-level simulations proposed by $3^{rd}$ generation partnership project(3GPP) contributions. We assumed spatial scattering phenomenon in which many unresolvable path signals within a limited range of spatial angle simultaneously contribute to the signals received at the receiver. Several multipaths within one chip are distinguished into each one and the first multipath components are selected as the desired signal and the others are considered self-interference. Downlink DS-CDMA system with eigenbeamformer using wider bandwidth present better performance than that using narrow bandwidth system by employing Eigen-RAKE receiver of many number of branches. It is shown that the downlink eigenbeamformer is more effective in typical urban macro cellular environments when using Eigen-RAKE receiver.

As a channel of a DS-CDMA system is shared among several users, the receivers face the problem of MAI. Also the multipath scenario leads to ISI. Both components are undesired, but unlike the additive noise process, which is usually completely unpredictable, their space-time structure helps to estimate and remove them. This paper investigates a DS-CDMA system with a fading multipath channel. The investigations have been separated into a channel estimation part and a reception part. In the first part, the estimation of multipath parameters(DOA, TOA) are considered, space-time beamformers(Decorrelating, Match-Filter, Wiener-Hopf) are performed in the second part. To assess many different estimation techniques and beamformers, the simulation compared with theoretical values is performed.

This paper presents a new baseband modulation system for the reception improvement of VSB system in dynamic multipath channel. By introducing the 1/2 Trellis Coded Modulation in baseband modulation, the TOV of proposed modulation is improved very much compared with 8-VSB modulation and better than the pseudo 2-VSB modulation of Philips which is the most robust modulation for VSB transmission system as far. Through the computer simulation, the performance of the proposed modulation is examined and the results are shown.

In this paper, we analyze the channel estimation method by using Reference symbols for burst OFDM transmission systems. We set some parameters (the number of Reference symbols, the pilot spacing in Reference symbols, the update constant of equalizer coefficients) to evaluate their performance in the fixed multipath fading channel as like indoor environment.

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.

In the W-CDMA system, cell search is one of the imporant functions of the mobile station searching for a cell and achieving spreading code and time synchronization to its downlink scrembling code. For the methods of cell search to optimize codes, three stages are considered: 1) slot synchronization, 2) frame synchronization, and 3) scrambling code identification. Channels for cell search are Primary Synchronization Channel (P-SCH), Secondary Synchronization Channel(S-SCH), and Common Pilot Channel (CPICH). In this paper, cell search is analyzed based on simulation. Rake receiver provides improvement of Performance as an increase of bandwidth because there are more available multipaths. In this paper, the performance of W-CDMA system employing RAKE receiver is evaluated by computer simulation over the types of ITU_R wideband channel model and spreading rate. The result shows that the performance of CDMA adapting RAKE receiver is improved by the increase of multipath components in equal level of the received power.

Underwater acoustic(UWA) communication is one of the most difficult field in terms of severe channel environments such as multipath propagation, high temporal and spatial variability of channel conditions. Therefore, it is important to model and analyze the characteristics of underwater acoustic channel such as multipath propagation, transmission loss, reverberation, and ambient noise. In this paper, UWA communication channel is modeled with a ray tracing method and applied to image transmission. Quadrature phase shift keying(QPSK) and multichannel decision feedback equalizer(DFE) are utilized as phase-coherent modulation method and equalization technique, respectively. The objective is to improve the performance of the image transmission using vertical sensor array instead of single sensor in the viewpoint of bit error rate(BER), constellation diagram, and received image quality.
