In this paper, we introduce the combination of OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) and MIMO(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) technology, and explain that this combination seems to be very preferable when designing very high-rate wireless mobile systems. The application of OFDM, with the block diagrams of an OFDM modulator and demodulator and a MIMO-OFDM system, are described. The several diversities are studied at the receiver, analyzed the performances of diversity in OFDM-MIMO system and simulated results.

Since CORDIC (COordinate Rotation DIgital Computer) is able to carry out the phase operation, such as vector to phase conversion or rotation of vectors, with adders and shifters, it is well suited for the design of the frequency synchronization unit in OFDM receivers. It is not easy, however, to fully utilize the CORDIC in the OFDM demodulator because of the non-linear characteristics of the direction sequence (DS), which is the representation of the phase in CORDIC. In this paper a new representation method is proposed to linearize the direction sequence approximately. The maximum phase error of the linearized binary direction sequence (LBDS) is also discussed. For the purpose of designing the hardware, the architectures for the binary DS (BDS) to LBDS converter and the LBDS to BDS inverse converter are illustrated. Adopting LBDS, the overall frequency synchronization hardware for OFDM receivers can be implemented fully utilizing CORDIC and general arithmetic operators, such as adders and multipliers, for the phase estimation, loop filtering of the frequency offset, derotation for the frequency offset correction. An example of the design of 22 bit LBDS for the T-DMB demodulator is also presented.

In this paper we design STBC-OFDM systems by applying several STBC schemes to the OFEM system and show their comparative analysis results obtained through computer simulations under Rayleigh fading environments, considering the effect of channel estimation error. We first consider the space-time coding algorithms of major STBC schemes, together with their demodulation algorithms. We then select the OFDMparameters considering mobile environments and design the STBC-OFDM systems by choosing one of digital modulation schemes such as QPSK, BPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, and 256QAM according to the transmission rate, and describe the block diagrams of the demodulator and channel estimator. We finally compare and analyze the BER performances of the STBC-OFDM systems according to the transmission rate and the number of receive antennas.

In this paper, we have proposed a clock recovery algorithm of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing/Quadrature Phase Shift Keying Modulation-Digital Microwave Radio(OFDM/QPSK-DMR) system using Band Limited-Pulse Shaping Filter(BL-PSF) and compared the clock phase error variance of OFDM/QPSK-DMR system with that of single carrier DMR system. The OFDM/QPSK-DMR system using windowing method requires training sequence or Cyclic Prefix (CP) to synchronize the clock phase of received signal. But transmit efficient is increased in our proposed DMR system because of no using redundant data such as training sequence or CP. The proposed clock recovery algorithm is simply realized in the OFDM/QPSK-DMR system using BL-PSF. The simulation results confirm that the proposed clock recovery algorithm has the same clock phase error variance performance in a single carrier DR system under Additive White Gaussian Noise(AWGN) environment.

The signal in wireless multi-path channel is affected by fading and ISI because of high data rate transmission, so the signal has the high error rate. The present modulation and demodulation method of DSRC system can not expect sufficient for providing data service over 1 Mbps, so the channel equalization and advanced modulation and demodulation methods are required. OFDM is generally known as an effective technique for high data rate transmission system, since it can prevent ISI by inserting a guard interval. However, a guard interval longer than channel delay spread has to be used in each OFDM symbol period, thus resulting a considerable loss in the efficiency of channel utilization Therefore the equalizer is necessary to cancel ISI to accommodate advanced ITS service with higher bit rate and longer channel delay spread condition In this paper, the channel equalizer for the OFDM -DSRC system was designed and its performance in a multi-path fading environment was evaluated with computer simulation.

This paper presents a novel multiple orthogonal subcarrier modulation based UHF band RFID communication system. In tag-to-reader communication, the demonstration system can deliver 1.6 Mbps through four subcarriers. To improve data rate while suppressing increase in circuit complexity, tag employs square-waves as the subcarriers and uses individual load modulators for each subcarrier. By using multiple orthogonal subcarrier based modulation, proposed communication system can be operated under existing UHF band RFID regulation. In reader, an OFDM demodulator is used. Since the tag backscatters the reader's CW carrier, carrier frequency offset compensation is not necessary in reader demodulator. Experimental results show that the demonstration system achieves a bit error rate of 10-5 at an Eb/N0 of 10.8 dB.

전력선 통신 채널에는 특징적으로 충격 잡음이 존재하며, 전력선 통신 시스템의 성능 열화에도 많은 영향을 준다. 이는 일반적인 배경 잡음에 비해 많게는 수십 dB 이상의 레벨을 가지면서, 임의 시간적으로 발생함으로써 추정 및 제어 또한 어렵기 때문이며, 전력선 통신 시스템이 Mbps급으로 고속화 되면서 주파수 대역이 확장되고, 확장된 대역상에 다중 반송파를 이용하여 대용량의 데이터를 전송하는 변복조기법들이 적용됨에 따라, 시간 영역에서 비교적 짧은 시간 동안 존재하는 충격 잡음이 주파수 영역에서 사용 주파수 전체 대역상에 영향을 줌으로써 시스템 전체 성능 저하의 큰 요인이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 충격 잡음이 고속 전력선 통신 시스템에서 사용되는 OFDM(또는 DMT) 방식 수신기의 복조기 출력단 SNR에 미치는 영향을 분석 및 단순화하고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한다.

This paper presents a novel HF band differential quadrature phase-shift keying (DQPSK) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) communication system. The system can deliver 3.6 kbps with a bandwidth of about 3 kHz. In a digital modem, OFDM with 32-point fast Fourier transform is used. In the system, each subcarrier uses DQPSK modulation. Hence, a demodulator does not require carrier phase recovery and symbol timing recovery. And, each subcarrier employs CRC error check code individually. By using CRC code for each subcarrier, bit error caused by multipath fading can be recovered simply.

차세대 이동통신 시스템을 위해 활발히 연구되고 있는 MC-CDMA 방식은 OFDM과 DS-CDMA의 장점을 결합하여 심벌간 간섭과 페이딩에 강하고 IFFT/FFT를 이용하여 효과적으로 변조/복조부를 구현할 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다. 하지만, 송신 신호가 다중 레벨 진폭 특성을 갖기 때문에 손신기에서 사용되는 고출력 증폭기의 포화 특성으로 인해 심각한 비선형 왜곡이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 OFDM에서 이러한 비선형 왜곡의 보상을 위해 우리가 제안한 고정점 반복 기반의 사전왜곡기를 MC-CDMA 시스템에 적용하고, 이의 우수한 성능을 부가성 백색 가우시안 잡음 채널에서 64-FFT/IFFT을 이용하여 변조 및 복조를 수행하는 MC-CDMA 시스템에 대한 모의실험을 통해 확인하였다.
