Reliable high-speed data communications over insufficient channel bandwidth is one of the major challenges of harsh wireless environments that push the achievable spectral efficiency far below its theoretical limits. A Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) scheme is a userful modulation technique for achieving high data rate transmission without increasing the bandwidth of wireless communication systems. The exact general bit error rate (BER) expression of arbitrary rectangular quadrature amplitude modulation has not yet been derived. In this paper, a generalized closed-form expression for the BER performance of rectangular QAM with Gray code bit mapping is derived and analyzed in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. First we analyze the BER performance of an I-ary PAM scheme. Regular patterns in the k-th bit error probability are observed while developing the EBR expression. From these patterns we provide the exact and general closed-from EBR expression of an I-ary PAM. Then we present a general closed-from expression for BER of an arbitrary IXJ rectangular QAM by considering that this signaling format consists of two PAM scheme, i.e., I-ary and J-ary PAM. A simple approximate BER expression for rectangular QAM is given as well.

For synchronous direct sequence-code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems, the authors propose an adaptive radial basis function (RBF) receiver with suboptimal structure that reduces not only the complexity with regard to the number of centers but also the quantity of instructions required per one bit reception. The proposed receiver is constructed with parallel RBF networks. Each RBF network has the same procedure as the conventional RBF receiver. The performance of each RBF network is affected by interferences which are assigned to the other RBF networks because neither RBF network uses the full user set. To combat these interferences, the partial IC technique is employed. Monte Carlo simulations over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels confirm that the proposed receiver with its reduced complexity is able to obtain near-optimum performance. Moreover, the proposed receiver is able to properly cope with a various environment.

In this paper, in order to apply the $\pi/4$ shift QPSK to TCM, we propose the $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK modulation technique and the trellis-coded $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK performing signal set expansion and partition by phase difference. In addition, the Viterbi decoder with branch metrics of the squared Euclidean distance of the first phase difference as well as the Lth phase different is introduced in order to improve the bit error rate(BER) performance in differential detection of the trellis-coded $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK. The proposed Viterbi decoder is conceptually the same as the sliding multiple detection by using the branch metric with first and Lth order phase difference. We investigate the performance of the uncoded $\pi/4$ shift QPSK and the trellis-coded $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK with or without the Lth phase difference metric in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) using the Monte Carlo simulation. The study shows that the $\pi/4$ shift QPSK with the Trellis-code i.e. the trellis-coded $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK is an attractive scheme for power and bandlimited systems and especially, the Viterbi decoder with first and Lth phase difference metrics improves BER performance. Also, the nest proposed algorithm can be used in the TC $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK as well as TCMDPSK.

In this paper we consider technological requirements to broadcast digital television signals using single frequency networks (SFN) in the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) transmission systems and propose equalization digital on-channel repeater (EDOCR) that overcomes the limitations of conventional digital on-channel repeaters (DOCRs). Since there are no forward error correction (FEC) decoder and encoder, the EDOCR does not have an ambiguity problem. In addition, since an adaptive equalizer in the EDOCR removes multi-path signals, additive white Gaussian noise (A WGN), and feedback signal due to low antenna isolation, the EDOCR may have good output signal quality with high power.

Recently, the performance of the commercial PCS(Personal Communication Service) system has been improved to the uppermost limit and ultimately the next generation mobile communication is to be realized by IMT-2000 (International Mobile Communication-2000) to provide multimedia services. Therefore, the new type receiving system is researched actively and one of the most important part in a receiver is direct conversion method. The direct conversion method is suitable for low power consumption, small size, MMIC, and low price, which is to be adopted to the next generation mobile communication systems. In this case, however, several problems occur due to DC-offset. The DC-offset suppresses amplification of the required signal because of the leakage signal of frequency synthesizer in the system. In this thesis, the removing method of DC-offset was considered. There are four removing techniques of DC-offset, which are AC-coupling, large capacitor, DC-feedback loop, and DC-free coding. Among these, the AC-coupling method is the most simplest method and the DC-feedback loop method has the best performance. Then, the performance of the AC-coupling method and DC-feedback loop method are evaluated by HP's ADS simulation tool. As a result, the AC-coupling method cannot be used to the digital communication systems due to data loss. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the DC-feedback loop method is suitable for the direct conversion receiver.

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.

In this paper, we propose and analyze a M-ary transmission scheme in time hopping ultra-wide band(UWB) system using mutually orthogonal modified Hermite polynomial(MHP) pulses. The proposed M-ary transmission scheme employs the orthogonal property between different ordered pulses and N data bits make the M-ary signals by linear combination of M MHP pluses. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed system has better performance and higher data rate than conventional M-ary UWB system. We derive the general form of correlation function for MHP pulses and analyze bit error rate(BER) performance over additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) with the presence of timing jitter. We show that the proposed system has the improved BER performance and robustness to timing jitter and low power spectrum density compared with conventional M-ary UWB system.

In this paper, a systematic demapping algorithm for three-dimensional (3-D) lattice signal constellations is presented. The algorithm consists of decision of an octant, computation of a distance from the origin, and determination of the coordinates of a symbol. Since the algorithm can be extended systematically, it is applicable to the larger lattice constellations. To verify the algorithm, 3-D signal transmission systems with field programmable gate array (FPGA) and $Matlab^{(R)}$ are implemented. And they are exploited to carry out computer simulation. As a result, both hardware and software based systems produce almost the same symbol error rates (SERs) in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) environment. In addition, the hardware based system implemented with an FPGA generates waveforms of 3-D signals and recovers the original binary sequences perfectly. Those results confirm that the algorithm and the implemented 3-D transmission system operate correctly.

Nonlocal similarity of natural images leads to the fact that a patch matrix whose columns are similar patches of the reference patch has a low rank. Images corrupted by additive white Gaussian noises (AWGN) make their patch matrices to have a higher rank. The noise in the image can be reduced by obtaining low rank approximation of the patch matrices. In this paper, an image denoising algorithm is proposed, which first constructs the patch matrices by combining the similar patches of each reference patch, which is a part of the noisy image. For each patch matrix, the proposed algorithm calculates its low rank approximate, and then recovers the original image by aggregating the low rank estimates. The simulation results using widely accepted test images show that the proposed denoising algorithm outperforms four recent methods.

In this paper, the possibility of a terrestrial fixed 4K UHD (Ultra High Definition) and mobile HD (High Definition) convergence broadcasting service through a single channel employing the FEF (Future Extension Frame) multiplexing technique in DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting)-T2 (Second Generation Terrestrial) systems is examined. The performance of such a service is also investigated. FEF multiplexing technology can be used to adjust the FFT (fast Fourier transform) and CP (cyclic prefix) size for each layer, whereas M-PLP (Multiple-Physical Layer Pipe) multiplexing technology in DVB-T2 systems cannot. The convergence broadcasting service scenario, which can provide fixed 4K UHD and mobile HD broadcasting through a single terrestrial channel, is described, and transmission requirements of the SHVC (Scalable High Efficiency Video Coding) technique are predicted. A convergence broadcasting transmission system structure is described by employing FEF and transmission technologies in DVB-T2 systems. Optimized transmission parameters are drawn to transmit 4K UHD and HD convergence broadcasting by employing a convergence broadcasting transmission structure, and the reception performance of the optimized transmission parameters under AWGN (additive white Gaussian noise), static Brazil-D, and time-varying TU (Typical Urban)-6 channels is examined using computer simulations to find the TOV (threshold of visibility). From the results, for the 6 and 8 MHz bandwidths, reliable reception of both fixed 4K UHD and mobile HD layer data can be achieved under a static fixed and very fast fading multipath channel.
