본 논문에서는 기존의 기지국과 W-CDMA 시스템을 상호 연동하기 위한 SDR(Software Defined Radio) 기반의 멀티 밴드 디지털 IF 모듈 구현에 대해 소개한다. 하드웨어 플랫폼상에 테스트 및 시험 검증하기 위해서 크게 광대역 ADC, DAC, FPGA로 구성하였으며, FPGA 내에 디지털 필터 및 NCO등의 응용 소프트웨어는 VHDL로 코딩하였다. 디지털 필터는 FPGA의 허용 자원을 고려하여 인터폴레이션 및 데시메이션을 위한 폴리페이즈 필터 뱅크로 구현하였다. 또한 송신단에서는 이미지 성분을 제거하기 위해 2단의 DCQM(Digital Complex Quadrature Modulation)을 적용하였으며, 이때 적용되는 NCO (Numerically Controlled Oscillator)는 1/4주기의 LUT를 사용하여 설계하였다. 수신단에서는 IF 단에 SAW필터를 사용하지 않기 때문에 W-CDMA의 블록커 규약에 준하면서 근접 채널을 제거하기 위한 고출력의 감쇄 특성을 갖는 필터를 설계하였다. 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과와 스펙트럼 분석기를 통해 측정된 결과를 비교 분석하였으며 이에 대한 디지털 IF 모듈의 성능을 검증하였다.

We have studied and discussed the error rate performance of Quadrature Amplitude Modulation(QAM) in an environment of cochannel QAM interference and impulsive noise. A general equation of error probability for L-level QAM signal has been derived and the error rate of the 16-QAM signal, as an example, has been calculated as functions of carrier-to-noise power ratio(CNR), carrier-to-interferer power ratio(CIR), impulsive indes, and the phase difference between signal and interferer.

This paper examines the BER performance of the recently proposed half-symbol-rate-carrier (HSRC) offset quadrature phase-shift-keying (OQPSK) receiver for high-speed data communication. A modified demodulation technique using a bit-time period signal integration, the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of the HSRC-OQPSK signal improves more than 4dB compared to that of a demodulation technique using a symbol-time period integration. This paper also examines the BER performance of modified demodulation with various band-limited channels modeled using low-pass filters, and the three different data-rate systems are simulated and compared with the performance of the system using the conventional demodulation technique.

A new dual-mode algorithm for blind equalization of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals is proposed. To solve the problem that the constant modulus algorithm (CMA) converges to the constellation with the arbitrary phase rotation, with the modification of the CMA, the proposed algorithm accomplishes blind equalization and carrier phase recovery simultaneously. In addition, the dual-mode algorithm combining the modified constant modulus algorithm (MCMA) with decision-directed (DD) algorithm achieves the performance enhancement of blind convergence speed and steady-state residual ISI. So we can refer the proposed algorithm to as a scheme for joint blind equalization and carrier phase recovery. Simulation results for i.i.d. input signals confirm that the dual-mode algorithm results in faster convergence speed, samller residual ISI, and better carrier phase recovery than those of the CMA and DD algorithm without any significant increase in computational complexity.

In this paper, we have analyzed the performance enhancement of 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. For performance enhancement, we apply the one-tap adaptive equalizer for OFDM/QPSK-DMR system and compare with the BER performance of single carrier DMR system. Computer simulations confirm that the OFDM/QPSK-DMR system using one-tap adaptive equalizer has the same BER performance for the single carrier DMR system.

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.

In this paper, we present a low complexity modified multi-level sphere decoder (SD) for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems employing quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals. The proposed decoder, exploiting the multi-level structure of the QAM signal scheme, first decomposes the high-level constellation into low-level 4-QAM constellations, so-called sub-constellations. Then, it deploys SD in the sub-constellations in parallel. In addition, in the searching stage, it uses the optimal low-complexity sort method. Computer simulation results show that the proposed decoder can provide near optimal maximum-likelihood (ML) performance while it significantly reduces the computational load.

In this study, the performance of a 32-quadrature amplitude position modulation (QAPM) system is analyzed under a Rician fading channel condition when the maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity technique is used in the receiver. The fading channel is modeled as a frequency non-selective slow Rician fading channel corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). QAPM is available to improve BER performance without amplifying transmit power, and MRC diversity makes the performance improvement of QAPM system even bigger by intentionally maximizing SNR. Error performances are shown for the 32-QAPM system and a 32-phase silence shift keying (PSSK) system in order to examine the effects of fading severity, for various values of the Rician parameter, K. The dependence of error rates on MRC diversity is also analyzed. The simulation results show that the BER performance of the 32-QAPM system is better than that of the 32-PSSK system under the above mentioned conditions.

A new demodulation technique which can be used for the fiber optic acoustic sensor system using Sagnac interferometer is described. The theoretical limitation in dynamic range of the quadrature demodulation technique can be removed by the proposed BPSK(Binary Phase Shift Keying) demodulation technique. Full demodulation of input acoustic signal is possible with just simple electronics by eliminating the necessity of the high frequency phase modulation. This technique is suitable for digital signal processing of fiber optic sensor systems and can be applicable for other interferometers.

In this paper, we p개pose DS-CDM-SQAM(Superposed Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) which is characterized by its smooth phase transition and small envelope fluctuation, and improves the power efficiency as compared to DS-CDM-QPSK of satellited-based DMB system(ITR-R BO.1130-4 System E) in a nonlinearly amplified channel. Computer simulation results show that the proposed DS-CDM-SQAM improves Eb/No by 1.7㏈ to maintain BER=1${\times}$$10^{-3}$ in nonlinearly amplified multipath mobile radio environments. Therefore, the proposed DS-CDM-SQAM system significantly improves the power efficiency in nonlinear land mobile satellite DMB environments.
