This research introduces three new fractal array configurations that have superior performance over the well-known Sierpinski fractal array. These arrays are based on the fractal shapes Dragon, Twig, and a new shape which will be called Flap fractal. Their superiority comes from the low side lobe level and/or the wide angle between the main lobe and the side lobes, which improves the signal-to-intersymbol interference and signal-to-noise ratio. Their performance is compared to the known array configurations: uniform, random, and Sierpinski fractal arrays.

Direct-conversion receiver(DCR) architecture has superior advantages in size, cost, and power over superheterodyne receiver architectures. However, the use of direct-conversion receiver architecture has been limited due to the direct-current offset noise. The ac coupling, which is used to overcome the direct-current offset noise, causes an inter-symbol interference(ISI), whose effects can be effectively mitigated using an equalizer. In this paper, the performance of a direct-conversion receiver with ac coupling in the presence of direct-current offset is analyzed via computer simulation. The simulation result shows that by using decision feedback equalizer with LMS(Least Mean Square) algorithm, signal-to-noise ratio loss of the direct-conversion receiver compared to the idea receiver can be reduced to less than 1㏈ for corner frequencies as large as 10% of the symbol rate.

In this paper, an interchannel interference (ICI) and symbol error probability for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) on the two-ray fading environment are obtained analytically. From the analysis results, it is found that the ICI is a Gaussian random variable and its variance depends on the subchannel location, normalized time delay, and the number of subchannels. In addition, the OFDM signal without guard interveal is found to yield an irreducible error even at high signal to noise ratio due to the ICI.

본 논문에서는 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템에서 I/Q(In-phase/Quadrature) 불균형에 의한 영향을 분석하고 I/Q 불균형이 발생하는 경우에 신호를 검출하는 방식을 제안한다. 또한, 제안된 검출방법을 위한 채널 추정 방식 및 파일럿 신호를 설계하는 방식을 제안한다. OFDM 시스템에서 I/Q 불균형은 SIR(Signal to Interference Noise Ratio)을 감소시켜, 성능을 열화시키므로 강건한 검출방식이 요구된다. 제안된 검출방식은 기존의 방식과 달리, I/Q 불균형에 의하여 발생되는 OFDM 신호의 특성을 이용하여 신호를 검출함으로써 SIR 손실을 줄이며 I/Q 불균형에 의한 영향을 효과적으로 억제할 수 있다.

This paper proposes the new signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) that is different from the conventional signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in direct-sequence code-division multiple-access communication system employing offset quadrature phase-shift keying(OQPSK) and using a chip waveform. The conventional SNR value is so different from a real SNR value. Therefore, we propose a new SNR equation approximated to real SNR. The multiple-access interference(MAI) in DS-CDMA communication system has an effect on SNR performance and MAI is concerned with the correlation functions of the chip waveform. For this reason, we considered all possible correlations of chip waveforms. In conclusion, the SNR value of proposed method is enclosed to the real SNR value.

This paper considers the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system with linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) detection under ideal fast fading. For $N_t$ transmit and $N_r({\geq}N_t)$ receive antennas, we derive the achievable ergodic capacity of MMSE detection exactly. When MMSE detection is considered in a receiver, we introduce a different approach that gives the approximation of a MIMO channel capacity at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The difference between the channel capacity and the achievable capacity of MMSE detection converges to some constant that depends only on the number of antennas. We validate the analytical results by comparing them with Monte Carlo simulated results.

Superimposed training (SIT) design for estimating of time-varying multipath channels is investigated for mobile orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The design of optimum SIT consists of two parts: The optimal SIT sequence is derived by minimizing the channel estimates' mean square error (MSE); the optimal power allocation between training and information data is developed by maximizing the averaged signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) under the condition of equal powered paths. The theoretical analysis is verified by simulations. For the metric of the averaged SINR against signal to noise ratio (SNR), the theoretical result matches the simulation result perfectly. In contrast to an interpolated frequency-multiplexing training (FMT) scheme or an SIT scheme with random pilot sequence, the SIT scheme with proposed optimal sequence achieves higher SINR. The analytical solution of the optimal power allocation is demonstrated by the simulation as well.

Successive interference cancellation(SIC) for the uplink of MC-CDMA mobile communications systems is an effective method to improve performance. We propose a successive interference cancellation(SIC) technique for the uplink of MC-CDMA mobile systems with multiple receive antennas. The destination uses optimum combining(OC) to combine the signals from an OFDM Demodulator with multiple receiving antennas, and applies SIC processing to the combined signals. Achieved interference cancellation order is depends on the signal to interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) at the output of the optimum combiner. Monte-Carlo simulations are employed to verify the proposed technique.

본 논문은 차량 간 이동 네트워크의 협력통신을 제안하고 차량 간 다중 페이딩 환경에서 고속 전송 효율성과 범위 확장을 위한 네트워크 코딩(Network coding) 기법을 제안한다. 또한 시뮬레이션 결과를 보면 제안된 전략이 가상 다중 안테나 시스템(virtual MIMO)을 설정해줌으로써 수신단에서 다이버시티 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 또한, 공간 다이버시티의 장점을 활용하여, Signal-to-Noise Ratio(SNR)을 향상시킨다. 기존 전략과 비교해보면 Inter Symbol Interference(ISI)와 Inter Channel Interference(ICI)가 완화될 뿐만 아니라 성능이 3dB만큼 훨씬 더 좋아진 결과를 확인할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 연구의 타당성을 보이기 위해 MATLAB을 이용한 Ultra-Wideband(UWB) 통신 시스템의 시뮬레이션을 제시한다.
