This paper presents a new Kurtosis driven Variable Step-Size Normalized Least Mean Square (KVSSN-LMS) algorithm to prevent repeater from oscillation due to feedback signal of radio frequency (RF) repeater. To get better Mean Square Error (MSE) performance, step-size is adjusted using the kurtosis. The proposed algorithm shows the better performance of steady state MSE. The proposed algorithm shows a better ERLE performance than that of KVSS-LMS, VSS-NLMS, NLMS algorithms.

WiBro radio frequency (RF) repeater is used for solving the problem of partial shadow areas in the wireless communication field that uses time-division duplexing (TDD) mode. In this paper, a method to efficiently generate TDD signals for WiBro RF repeater is proposed and its digital circuit is implemented. A TDD signal is detected from RF signals transmitted/received to/from RF repeater and then inputted again into the RF repeater, so that it can operate normally. First, the envelope of downlink signals is detected and then clamped to extract the basic form of a TDD signal using an operational amplifier circuit. Next, the TDD signal is generated by restoring and filtering the shape which has been distorted by the wireless channel. The algorithm and system to acquire TDD signal are developed with a goal to have simple but powerful functions with as little cost as possible. The proposed method is implemented as an RF-digital integrated system and verified through the experiments under the same condition as actual WiBro service environment.

In this paper, in order to improve a service quality and to broaden the service coverage in the mobile communication system a study on a digital RF repeater employed with an Interference Cancellation System(ICS) is performed. The digital RF repeater employed with an ICS is implemented to remove interference and feedback signals which are disadvantages of a conventional(or general) RF repeater. This thesis presents the design and experiments of the new wireless repeater. The proposed wireless repeater consists of a RF repeater mounted with digital engine. The digital ICS engine consists of a DSP and FPGA. The digital engine and RF circuit are designed into a one-piece. After developing hardware through the digital platform they are also designed and fabricated into a one-piece in order to apply a best performance repeater system. The method of removing interference and feedback signals is an adaptive IF technique employed with a LMS algorithm. The powerful performance and fast convergence speed is obtained by using this method.

In this paper, we proposed a new hybrid interference canceller using the adaptive filter with Grouped CMA(Constant Modulus Algorithm)-LMS(Least Mean Square) algorithm in the RF(Radio Frequency) repeater. The feedback signal generated from transmitter antenna to receiver antenna reduces the performance of the receiver system. The proposed interference canceller has better channel adaptive performance and a lower MSE(Mean Square Error) than conventional structure because it uses the cancellation method of Grouped CMA algorithm. This structure reduces the number of iterations fur the same MSE performance and hardware complexity compared to conventional nonlinear interference canceller. Namely, MSE values of the proposed algorithm were lower than those of LMS algorithm by 2.5 dB and 4 dB according to step sizes. And the proposed algorithm showed fast speed of convergence and similar MSE performance compared to VSS(Variable Step Size)-LMS algorithm.

To reduce the outage probability and to increase the transmission capacity, the importance of repeaters in cellular systems is increasing. But a RF(Radio Frequency) repeater has a problem that the output of the transmit antenna is partially feedback to the receive antenna, which is feedback interference. In this paper, we proposed adaptive Sign-Sign LMS(Least Mean Square) algorithm using correlations for the performance enhancement of RF repeater. The weight vector is updated by using sign of input signal and error signal to the least squared error of the conventional algorithms. When compared with the conventional method, the proposed canceller achieves the maximum 10 dB performance gain in terms of the MSE(Mean Square Error).

In order to use more efficiently limited frequency resources at the broadcasting band and to eliminate blanket area of the terrestrial broadcasting and to improve broadcasting quality. The importance of repeaters has increasing continuously. However, in case of T-DMB digital on channel repeater in OFDM systems, some of the signal radiated feedback again at the receiver antenna. So it generates feedback signal interference in repeater system. Also phase noise increases ICI(Inter Carrier Interference). It affects seriously the frequency domain equalizer. In this paper, we remove the feedback signal interference by LMS with correlation. Also we propose an effective equalizer algorithm that can remove ICI caused by phase noise and the power amplifier's back-off. In this simulation results, this system is satisfied the performance of BER=$10^{-4}$ at less than SNR=14 dB after compensation of phase noise.

In the paper, we propose a new CMF(Constant Modulus Fourth) algorithm for WCDMA(Wideband Code Multiple Access) RF(Radio Frequency) Repeater. CMF algorithm is proposed by modifying the CMA(Constant Modulus Algorithm) algorithm and improved performances are achieved by properly adjusting step size values. The steady state MSE(Mean Square Error) performance of the proposed CMF algorithm with step size of 0.35 is about 4dB better than that of the conventional CMA algorithm. And the proposed CMF algorithm requires 400~1100 less iterations than the LMS(Least Mean Square) and NLMS(Normalized Least Mean Square) algorithms at MSE of -25dB.

In this article, we proposed a new interference canceller using the adaptive algorithm. We designed constant modulus algorithm-correlation normailized least mean square (CMA-CNLMS) for wireless system. This structure is normalized LMS algorithm using correlation between the desired and input signal for cancelling the interference signals in the wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) system. We showed that the proposed algorithm could improve the Mean Square Error (MSE) performance of LMS algorithm. MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory) is employed to analyze the proposed algorithm and to compare it with the experimental results. The MSE value of the LMS with mu=0.0001 was measured as - 12.5 dB, and that of the proposed algorithm was -19.5 dB which showed an improvement of 7dB.
