  • An InGaP/GaAs MMIC LC VCO designed with Harmonic Noise Frequency Filtering(HNFF) technique is presented. In this VCO, internal inductance is found to lower the phase noise, based on an analytic understanding of phase noise. This VCO directly drives the on-chip double balanced mixer to convert RF carrier to IF frequency through local oscillator. Furthermore, final power performance is improved by output amplifier. This paper presents the design for a 1.721 GHz enhanced LC VCO, high power double balance mixer, and output amplifier that have been designed to optimize low phase noise and high output power. The presented asymmetric inductance tank(AIT) VCO exhibited a phase noise of -133.96 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset and a tuning range from 1.46 GHz to 1.721 GHz. In measurement, on-chip down-converter shows a third-order input intercept point(IIP3) of 12.55 dBm, a third-order output intercept point(OIP3) of 21.45 dBm, an RF return loss of -31 dB, and an IF return loss of -26 dB. The RF-IF isolation is -57 dB. Also, a conversion gain is 8.9 dB through output amplifier. The total on-chip down-converter is implanted in 2.56${\times}$1.07 mm$^2$ of chip area.

  • A new low phase noise Dielectric Resonator Parallel Feedback Oscillator(DRPFO) that is proposed in this paper has a simple structure so that it can be fabricated in low cost and with high performance. The proposed DRPFO is in a feedback loop oscillator configuration, which is composed of a low noise amplifier, a power amplifier, a power attenuator, a power divider and a parallel resonator feedback element that consists of a dielectric resonator coupled with two microstrip lines. The measured phase noise of DRPFO was less than -81 dBc/Hz at offset frequency 1 kHz of 10.75 GHz carrier frequency, and the frequency stability of DRPFO was less than $\pm$200 kHz over the temperature range of -40$^{\circ}$C to +60$^{\circ}$C.

  • OFDM 시스템에서는 수신단의 샘플링 주파수가 정확하지 않을 경우 샘플링 주파수 옵셋으로 인한 ICI(Inter-Carrier Interference) 현상이 발생하여 수신 성능의 열화를 초래한다. 일반적으로 샘플링 주파수 옵셋의 추정은 연속된 2개의 OFDM 심볼의 파일럿 신호 또는 약속된 신호간의 상관을 통하여 수행된다. 본 논문에서는 주파수 영역에서 연속된 심볼들 간의 다양한 조합을 이용하여 샘플링 주파수 옵셋을 추정하고 그 성능을 비교한다. 이를 위해 각 방식을 DVB-T 시스템에 적용하여 모의실험을 수행한 결과와 기존 기법과의 성능을 비교 분석하였으며, 그 결과 AWGN 채널 환경에서 샘플링 주파수 옵셋 추정 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • 본 논문에서는 고속 광대역의 정보신호를 효율적으로 전송하기 위한 무선 LAN 채널환경에서 OFDM 전송방식을 사용할 때 반송파의 주파수 오프셋이 발생하는 동기 오차가 수신시스템에 미치는 영향으로 인한 수신 성능을 분석하였다. 성능개선 기법으로 Convolution Coding 기법을 적용함으로써 반송파 주파수 오프셋에 따른 성능 열화를 보상하였다. 성능 해석 결과, OFDM 시스템에서 주파수 오프셋이 커짐에 따라 성능이 열화됨을 알 수 있었고, (BER=$10^{-3}$)를 목표로 하는 경우 OFDM 시스템에 Convolution Coding 기법을 적용함으로써 성능 개선이 나타났지만 64QAM방식인 경우 주파수 오프셋 0.05, 0.1에서 주파수 오프셋에 의한 캐리어간 간섭의 영향이 지배적임을 알 수 있다.

  • A voltage controlled oscillator for the local oscillator in 380 MHz TRS handset is designed and fabricated. To improve the phase noise characteristics, the NEC's 2SC4226 transistor with NF=1.2 at 1 GHz and Toshiba's 1SV229 varactor diode with Q=70 are used. And an inductor of VCO is realized by microstrip line. At the bias condition of 5 V and 10 mA, the output power and phase noise in the operating frequency range of 357∼387 MHz are above 3.7 dBm and 111 dBc/Hz at 12.5KHz offset from the carrier, respectively. And FM sensitivity deviation are within ±0.4 KHz. This VCO is well suited for TRS handset.

  • Most existing space-time coding (STC) schemes have been developed for flat fading channels. To obtain antenna diversity gain, they rely on channel state information (CSI) required at the receiver through channel estimation techniques. This paper proposes a new decision feedback decoding scheme for Alamouti-based space-time block coding (STBC) transmission over time-selective fading channels. In wireless channels, time-selective fading effects arise mainly due to Doppler shift and carrier frequency offset, Modelling the time-selective fading channels as the first-order Gauss-Markov processes, we use recursive algorithms such as Kalman filtering, LMS and RLS algorithms for channel tracking. The proposed scheme consists of the symbol decoding stage and channel tracking algorithms. Computer simulations confirm that the proposed scheme shows the better performance and robustness to time-selectivity.

  • It is well known that an OFDM receiver is vulnerable to synchronization errors. Despite fine estimations used in the initial acquisition, there are still residual synchronization errors. Though these errors are very small, they severely degrade the bit error rate (BER) performance. In this paper, we propose a residual error elimination scheme for the digital OFDM baseband receiver aiming to improve the overall BER performance. Three improvements on existing schemes are made: a pilot-aided recursive algorithm for joint estimation of the residual carrier frequency and sampling time offsets; a delay-based timing error correction technique, which smoothly adjusts the incoming data stream without resampling disturbance; and a decision-directed channel gain update algorithm based on recursive least-squares criterion, which offers faster convergence and smaller error than the least-mean-squares algorithms. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme works well in the multipath channel, and its performance is close to that of an OFDM system with perfect synchronization parameters.

  • This paper develops a generalized framework for the analysis of multicarrier communication system, using a generic pair of transmitters- and receiver side terraforms, Qτ | QR, such that the DFT-transform based "conventional OFDM" is its special case. This analysis framework is then used to propose and prove theorems on various performance metrics of a multicarrier communication system, which will apply to any system that fits the architecture, which most will do. The analysis framework also derives previously unknown closed-form expressions for these metrics, such as how the performance degradation due to carrier frequency offset or timing synchronization error, amongst others, are function of generic transforms. While extensive work exists on the impact of these challenges on conventional OFDM, how are these functions of transform matrices is unknown in the literature. It will be shown, how the analysis of OFDM based system is special case of analysis in this paper. This paper is Part I of three paper series, where the other two supplements the arguments present here.

  • This paper is related with optimum burst structure design for high efficient TDMA satellite return link transmission. In general, some typical burst structure for data transmission is composed of a pair of preamble and traffic data in the DVB-RCS (Digital Video Broadcasting. Return Channel via Satellite) and IPOS (IP over Satellite) standard. This structure has some difficulties to increase spectral efficiency that it requires a large of preamble length, high SNR environment, or receiver complexity. To cope with them, burst structure with distributed pilot symbol can be used to alleviate the residual frequency offset effect by calculating accurate frequency offset than conventional one. In particular, we investigate some relevant to proposed distributed pilot structure, previously and analyze their strong points/drawbacks in terms of synchronization to draw the most appropriate one.

  • MCDD performs demultiplexing and demodulation of multi-carrier signals for signal processing schemes such as switching, channel encoding and remodulation in an OBP satellite. During the demultiplexing procedure, several factors such as frequency offset and/or quantization error degrade BER performance. Hence, influences of those factors should be reduced. A influence of the frequency offset can be reduced by inserting guard band between channels, and that of quantization error can be decreased by quantization level control. In case that the data rate of system is not limited, the guard band and the quantization level do not affect each other. In the other case, however, mutual influence between them should be considered. In this paper, we observe the mutual influence when the data rate of the MCDD is limited, and analyze the BER performance.
