간섭신호가 광대역이거나 빠르게 기동할 경우 기존의 협대역 적응 빔형성(NABF: Narrowband Adaptive Beam-forming)기법의 성능이 크게 저하되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이는 간섭신호가 빠르게 기동할 경우 추정된 빔패턴의 널(null)을 벗어나게 되고 협대역을 가정하여 얻어진 빔패턴의 널은 광대역 신호일 경우 이를 효과적으로 제거할 수 없기 때문이다. 이러한 환경에서 견실한 성능을 얻기 위해 NABF 기법에 미분제한조건을 주어 간섭신호 방향의 널 폭을 넓히는 기법이 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 광대역의 기동하는 간섭신호에 보다 견실하게 대처하기 위해 광대역 적응 빔형성 (WABF: Wideband Adaptive Beamforming)기법에 미분제한 조건을 적용하였다. 그리고 빠르게 기동하는 광대역 간섭신호가 존재하는 환경에서 모의실험을 수행하여 제안한 기법과 기존의 NABF기법 성능을 비교한다.

In this paper, the new multi-beamforming is proposed for Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Multicarrier-Code division multiple access(MC-CDMA) systems to overcome the decrease of performance due to multiuser interference and multiple-antenna interference. Installing the number of multi-beamformer which is equal to the number of multi-transmitter antennas and exploiting the proposed approach at the receiver of MIMO MC-CDMA, the multi-beams are formed toward each multi-antenna of desired user and null beam are formed to other interference. Therefore, the performance of MIMO MC-CDMA system is improved as removing the interference signal. BER performance improvement is investigated through computer simulation by the proposed approach to MIMO MC-CDMA system.

Adaptive array antenna system estimates target signal, as making a null pattern toward the interference signal. However, receiving a coherent interference signal at adaptive array antenna system, as target signal is regarded as interference signal, the performance of system rapidly decreases. The main beam does not direct an incidence direction of target signal due to sensitivity in directivity error. This paper proposes beamforming algorithm which combines high order limit condition and directivity error modify method. And it minimizes degree of freedom and decreases interference signal and directivity error using proposed algorithm. This paper compares and analyzes the performance of proposed algorithm and general algorithm using simulation. In this paper, the proposed algorithm correctly estimates an incident angle, but general algorithm occurs an error of about $0.8^{\circ}$.

지금까지 수중음향 시스템에서 jammer 신호를 제거하는 방법에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 그러나, 기존의 빔형성 기법은 간섭 신호원(interference source)이 움직일 경우 그 성능이 현저히 떨어지는 문제점을 갖고 있다. 이러한 현상은 수중 음향 시스템이 간섭 신호원의 움직임에 대하여 즉각적으로 null의 위치를 변화시키지 못하기 때문에 발생하게 된다. 이를 해결하기 위해서는 시간에 따라 위치가 변하는 jammer 환경에 대하여 대응할 수 있는 새로운 알고리즘이 필요하게 된다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 본 논문에서는 가변 망각인자를 갖는 적응 빔형성 기법을 제안하고, 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여 제안된 알고리즘이 기존의 적응 빔형성 기법에 비하여 출력 SINR(signal to interference plus noise ratio)의 측면에서 성능 향상을 가짐을 보였다.

Channel inversion is one of the simplest techniques for multiuser downlink systems with single-antenna users. In this paper, we extend the regularized channel inversion technique developed for the single-antenna user case to multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels with multiple-antenna users. We first employ the multiuser preprocessing to project the multiuser signals near the null space of the unintended users based on the MMSE criterion, and then the single-user preprocessing is applied to the decomposed MIMO interference channels. In order to reduce the complexity, we focus on non-iterative solutions for the multiuser transmit beamforming and use a linear receiver based on an MMSE criterion. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms existing joint iterative algorithms in most multiuser configurations.

This paper focuses on codebook-based precoding for space-division multiple access/orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (SDMA-OFDMA) systems aiming to guarantee high throughput for their users as well as to mitigate interference to fixed satellite service (FSS). A systematic design of SDMA codebook for subband-based OFDMA is proposed, which forms multiple orthogonal beams with common spatial null in the direction of a victim FSS earth station (ES). The design enables both transmitter and receiver to independently construct identical codebook by sharing only on the direction angle of an FSS ES, which takes fewer overhead bits than Gram-Schmidt process, a general method satisfying our design criterion. A system-level throughput evaluation shows that the proposed precoding provides superior performance over existing spectrum sharing method, that is, subband deactivation. The spectrum sharing analysis shows that the proposed precoding, even with an estimation error of the direction angles of an FSS ES, causes lower interference than existing precoding, knockdown precoding.

Utilizing artificial noise (AN) is a good means to guarantee security against eavesdropping in a multi-inputmulti-output system, where the AN is designed to lie in the null space of the legitimate receiver's channel direction information (CDI). However, imperfect CDI will lead to noise leakage at the legitimate receiver and cause significant loss in the achievable secrecy rate. In this paper, we consider a delayed feedback system, and investigate the impact of delayed CDI on security by using a transmit beamforming and AN scheme. By exploiting the Gauss-Markov fading spectrum to model the feedback delay, we derive a closed-form expression of the upper bound on the secrecy rate loss, where $N_t$ = 2. For a moderate number of antennas where $N_t$ > 2, two special cases, based on the first-order statistics of the noise leakage and large number theory, are explored to approximate the respective upper bounds. In addition, to maintain a constant signal-to-interferenceplus-noise ratio degradation, we analyze the corresponding delay constraint. Furthermore, based on the obtained closed-form expression of the lower bound on the achievable secrecy rate, we investigate an optimal power allocation strategy between the information signal and the AN. The analytical and numerical results obtained based on first-order statistics can be regarded as a good approximation of the capacity that can be achieved at the legitimate receiver with a certain number of antennas, $N_t$. In addition, for a given delay, we show that optimal power allocation is not sensitive to the number of antennas in a high signal-to-noise ratio regime. The simulation results further indicate that the achievable secrecy rate with optimal power allocation can be improved significantly as compared to that with fixed power allocation. In addition, as the delay increases, the ratio of power allocated to the AN should be decreased to reduce the secrecy rate degradation.

In this paper, we propose a suboptimal receiver combining adaptive array antenna and orthogonal decision-feedback detector in DS/CDMA system. Adaptive way antenna can cancel out undesired signal using beamforming scheme. However, if there are interfering signals from undesired users with the same incident angle as that of a desired user, an adaptive array antenna cannot suppress them. The proposed receiver can cancel out remaining interference from users having nearly the same beam pattern. And we employ Orthogonal Decision-Feedback Detector (ODFD) as Multiuser detection. The ODFD performs as good as the decorrelating decision -feedback detector (DDFD) with much less complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed system provides a significantly enhanced performance.
