In this paper, the DMR(Digital Microwave Radio) system-based OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) scheme in microwave channel environments has been proposed and system performances have been evaluated. The existing single carrier DMR system has a complex system structure due to using high-level QAM(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) modulation scheme and so charmel capacity is limited by sensitive effects from fading. Therefore, in the proposed DMR system, it uses that the OFDM scheme for enhancement of fading distortion and also uses that the band-limited pulse shaping filter instead of windowing for no additional data such as GI/GB and for using efficient of IFFT/FFT block. The performance of OFDM/QPSK-DMR system and single carrier DMR system are analysed by computer simulation using two-ray model under the microwave channel environments The computer simulation results confirm that the fade margin of the proposed OFDM/QPSK-DMR system is highly increased as the number of sub-carriers is larger.

In this paper, we have proposed a OFDM/QPSK-DMR(Orthogonal frequency Division Multiplexing/Quadrature Phase Shift Keying Modulation-Digital Microwave Radio)system using BL-PSF(Band-limited pulse shaping filter) over the Microwave channel. In the proposed DMR system, STS-1(51.84 Mbps) of SONET(Synchronous Optical NETwork) is first modulated by OFDM/QPSK symbol and used Band-limited pulse shaping filter. The advantage of the proposed DMR system is to simplify system complexity and increase IFFT/FFT block use-efficiency. The system performance of single carrier and OFDM systems is already proved that those of DMR systems have the same performance over AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise) channel environment. Therefore, the system is analyzed between proposed OFDM/QPSK-DMR and single carrier DMR systems and simulated by BER performance and Signature curve over Microwave channel environment. Simulation result is that the proposed system performances are approaching to the performance of single carrier DMR system as the number of Sub-carriers increasing.

In this paper, Phase noise is analyzed and a novel approach of the nonlinear approximation including second order term of phase noise is presented to analyze and quantize system performance. As results, in QPSK-OFDM system, when PLL loop bandwidth is 5.0 Hz, 1.0 kHB, 0.5 kHz respectively, there are about 0.6 dB, 1.0 dB, 1.7 dB SNR penalties at BER=10$\^$-4/ compared with system without phase noise in AWGN channel. In 16QAM modulation, there are about 1.9 dB, 3.2 dB, 6.7 dB SNR penalties at BER=10$\^$-4/ respectively. At QPSK-OFDM system, comparing the previous linear approximation method with our proposed nonlinear approximation method, there is similar BER performance at phase noise variance lower than 0.02, but certain difference occurs as variance increases more than 0.02. Furthermore, analytical BER results closely match with simulation results in the OFDM system employing QPSK and 16qAM modulation. And, BER performance of QPSK-OFDM system is considerably degraded because of the BER error floor if the phase noise variance becomes larger than 0.03.

In this paper, We have investigated the SER performance of a OFDM/QPSK system with carrier-frequency offset in a frequency non-selective fading channel. Adaptive linear equalizer is adopted to OFDH/QPSK systems for compensation of performance degradation according to the non-selective fading and carrier frequency offset. As a result of performance analysis, the more frequency offset is, the worse performance of OFDH/QPSK system is. However, when OFDH/QPSK system adopts the adaptive linear equalizer, the SER performance is enhanced to the limit range

본 논문에서는 단거리 M/W 전송장비에서 사용 가능한 10Mbps 급 OFDM/QPSK 시스템을 제안하였다. OFDM 변조 신호는 two-ray 다중경로 페이딩의 영향을 받는다. 채널 모델은 Rummler가 제안한 마이크로파 대역의 two-ray 채널 모델을 사용하였다. 수신단에서는 다중 경로 채널에 따른 성능 왜곽을 보상하기 위해 여분의 Training Sequence 또는 Pilot 심볼 없이 등화를 행할 수 있는 Blind 적응 등화기를 채택하였다. OFDM 시스템에 따른 두 가지의 등화기, Pre-FFT 적응 등화기와 주파수 적응 등화기 및 두 개의 등화기를 결합한 병행 적응 등화기를 각각 시스템에 도입하여 성좌도와 SER 성능 곡선을 통해 성능 개선 정도를 분석하였다. 분서결과로부터 주파수 적응 등화기와 Pre-FFT 적응 등화기의 각각의 특성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 또한 병행 적응 등화기의 도입에 따른 시스템 개선 정도를 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we analyze the BER performance of OFDM/QPSK system in frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel with impulsive noise and improve its performance by adopting convolutional coding. When the channel delay time is shorter than the guard band, the OFDM/QPSK system shows a good BER performance while, when the channel delay time becomes longer than the guard band, its BER performance is abruptly degraded. Moreover, when the transmitted signal is contaminated by a strong impulsive noise in the channel, the BER performance falls to about $10^{-1}$. Also, without channel coding technique, the system doesn't meet even the voice service requirement while it meets the data service requirement with convolutional coding in frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel with impulsive noise.

One of the important problems of OFDM system is the large PAPR of the output signal, which can result the significant signal distortion in presence of nonlinear amplifiers. To reduce the PAPR, we use fundamentally the level clipping and propose the modified mapping/demapping method for effective reducing the PAPR of the OFDM signals with level clipping. We can significantly improve the BER performance characteristics for the OFDM system. We discussed, through extensive computer simulations, the effects of level clipping and modified mapping/demapping method on the performance of OFDM system including the trade off between bandwidth expansion and BER performance and between bandwidth efficiency and BER performance.

차세대 이동통신에서는 multi-media 서비스를 제공해야 하는데, 이는 다양한 종류의 고품질 데이터를 전송해야 함을 의미한다. 이를 위한 여러 방식들 중 OFDM 전송 방식은 고속 전송 뿐 만 아니라 ISI(Inter-symbol interference)에도 강한 특성을 가지기 때문에 4 세대 광대역 이동통신을 위한 변조방식중의 하나로 주목 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 OFDM 의 특징에 single modulation(OFDM 과 QPSK, OFDM 과 16QA), rnulti-modulation(OFDM과(QPSK+16QAM))을 결합하여 시뮬레이션을 통해 성능을 비교하였으며, 전송하고자 하는 데이터 종류와 채널환경에 따른 multi-modulation 방식을 제안 분석하였다.
