In this paper, the performance of W-CDMA system with smart antenna is analyzed for angular spread in realistic wideband multipath channel. The realistic wideband channel is assumed, one of which is JTC channel model. And each multipath is assumed as a reflective wave from only one direction (only one cluster) in space. Several multipaths within one chip are distinguished into each one and the strongest signal is selected. As a result, the performance of the W-CDMA system with smart antenna in realistic wideband multipath channel has been considerably improved in proportion to the increase of angular spread.

In this dissertation, the characteristics of W-CDMA(Wideband CDMA) are studied and required specifications of IMT-2000 transceiver using W-CDMA method are proposed. Also, in order to design the RF circuits satisfied the proposed specifications, theoretical models are expanded and real circuits are made. Then the RF circuits of the mobile stations are implemented in the three parts, transmitter, receiver and frequency synthesizer and are evaluated. The frequency synthesizer is designed using techniques of swallow counter and passive 3rd loop filter. For improving characteristics of the loop, a LPF was added to the 2nd loop filter. So although the locking times are loosed, the spurious are reduced. The output power of transmitter is over 50mW, the spurious output is -40dB/30kHz at 5MHz offset and power control range is -20dB at 2.5V. The proposed specifications are considered in highly practical environment and the theoretical designs and the experiments are expressed as simply as possible in order to facilitate understanding. It stands to reason that the results of this study can be used to design the wider CDMA(25MHz Bandwidth) mobile communication systems.

In this paper, the performance of DS-CDMA system with smart antenna is analyzed for different bandwidths (1.25MHz,5MHz) and different channel environments (rural, urban) in wideband multipath channel. For the analysis of smart antenna system, the vector channel having the spatio-temporal correlation is modeled as a time-variant linear filter in time, and each multipath is assumed as a reflective wave from only one direction (only one cluster) in space. Several multipath is within one chip are distingushed into each one and the strongest signal is selected, DS-CDMA system with smart antenna using wider bandwidth present better performance than that using narrow bandwidth. It is shown that the smart antenna is more effective in urban area when using 2D-RAKE receiver.

본 논문에서는 스마트 안테나를 적용하여 서로 다른 대역폭(1.25MHz, 5Mhz)과 서로 다른 환경(rural, urban)에서 W-CDMA 시스템의 성능을 분석하였다. 먼저 스마트 안테나 시스템의 성능을 분석하기 위해서 시·공간 상관특성을 갖는 채널이 필요하다. 이를 위해 시간 정보를 고려하기 위해 시변 선형 필터로 모델링하였고, 공간 정보를 고려하기 위하여 배열 응답 벡터를 삽입하였다. 이 때 공간적으로는 일정량의 각도 퍼짐을 갖는 부-다중경로 성분으로 구성된 한 개의 반사파가 한 방향으로부터만 수신된다고 가정하였다. 또한 한 칩 내에 들어오는 다중 경로 성분을 분리하여 가장 큰 신호 성분만을 찾아내어 원하는 사용자의 신호로 사용하는 방법으로 모의 실험을 실행하였다. 모의실험 결과, 협대역 CDMA를 사용하는 스마트 안테나 시스템보다 광대역 CDMA를 사용하는 스마트 안테나 시스템이 더 나은 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 스마트 안테나는 2D-RAKE receiver를 사용했을 때 urban area에서 보다 더 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

In recent digital communication systems, the performance of Turbo Code used as the error correction coding method depends on the interleaver size influencing the free distance determination and iterative decoding algorithms of the turbo decoder. However, some iterations are needed to get a better performance, but these processes require large time delay. Recently, methods of reducing the number of iteration have been studied without degrading original performance. In this paper, the new method combining ME (Mean Estimate) stopping criterion with SDR (sign difference ratio) stopping criterion of previous stopping criteria is proposed, and the fact of compensating each method's missed detection is verified Faster decoding realizes that reducing the number of iterative decoding about 1~2 times by adopting our proposed method into serially concatenation of both decoder. System Environments were assumed DS-CDMA forward link system with intense MAI (multiple access interference).

This paper describes the RF performance issues of UE for W-CDMA system based on 3 GPP specifications. The parameters of transmitter and receiver are derived from the viewpoint of RF performance. In order for UE to achieve high performance, the transceiver performance requirements such as ACLR, EVM, Peak Code Domain Error, spectrum emission mask, frequency error stability and TX power control dynamic range for transmitter and reference sensitivity level, blocking characteristics, noise figure, ACS, AGC dynamic range for receiver are considered. On the basis of the required parameters, the UE RF transceiver is implemented and then the evaluation of RF performance is accomplished through practical test scenarios.

In general, in order to reduce an initial cell searching time, W-CDMA systems adopt a three-step cell search scheme: slot synchronization, frame synchronization, and primary scrambling code identification. We consider the second step (frame synchronization), in which a coherent detection using P-SCH (primary synchronization channel) is possible. In this paper, we propose a new coherent detection scheme, where a first order recursive filter is used to enhance channel estimation performance. Computer simulation results indicate that the detection performance of the proposed scheme can be robust over large range of frequency offset.

In this paper, a dual polarized broadband antenna fed by L-shaped strip for the Korea PCS band and W-CDMA band is presented. To analyze the characteristics of the designed antenna, we used commercial simulation tool(HFSS). The designed antenna was fabricated and measured using HP8753D vector network analyzer. The measured impedance bandwidth(VSWR<1.5) is 560 MHz and the measured average gain is 6.56 dBi. The measured isolation characteristic between two ports is -14 dB(min.) $\sim$ -40 dB(max.). These results are proper for the mobile communication application and repeater antenna.

A highly efficient multi-mode balanced power amplifier(PA) structure is proposed for W-CDMA handset applications. The proposed PA has 2-stage amplifier configuration and the stage-bypass and load impedance switching techniques were applied to enhance power efficiency at medium power level as well as low output power level. Using the two techniques, four highly efficient power modes were realized. To demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed structure, a GaAs HBT balanced PA module was designed, fabricated, and measured.
