In this paper, the energy saving on mobile communication repeater is studied. DB(Dual Band) small repeater, which is currently used in the field for indoor coverage, is adopted as a test unit. For reducing the power consumption, PFC (Power Factor Correction) is included on SMPS (Switching Mode Power Supply) of the DB small repeater. The test results show that approximately 38.9% of the power consumption is reduced comparing with the repeater without PFC. It means that approximately 230.43kWh per unit can be saved annually.

The purpose of this study is to suggest installation methods of a mobile-communication repeater into a lift system with consideration of EMC. Two approaches, one(Solution 1) is realized with a repeater installed in a lift hoistway and another(Solution 2) installed inside a lift, were proposed. It is confirmed that the Solution 1 is more effective than the Solution 2. And it is suggested that the EIRP of a repeater must be limited to be ${\leq}$-5 dBm by considering electromagnetic immunity level for a lift and safety margin of 20 dB. This limit can provide suitable electromagnetic environment inside a lift with precise power-control mechanism of mobile communication systems. This study could be a good example of Green ICT by improving electromagnetic environment in spite of radio use.

The Minisoy of Information and Communication(MIC) requires telecompanys to share base stations in order to prevent the duplicated investment and environmental destruction which would be caused by the indiscreet construction of basestations for enlarging their own service area among telecompanys. This paper discusses' the problems of mobile communication services that have been generated in common-repeater at the Metropolitan subway. These problem include factors of power obstacles, communication equipment and establishment obstacles. The content of this paper is helpful in organizing the basestation sharing of IMT-2000 and the 4th generation mobile system, and provides the basics of a higher quality service for common-service communication.

To increase the performance of mobile communication systems, base statations having beamforming function are released recently. For the proper beamforming function, it is required that each RF paths be calibrated periodically. However, the current calibration method has a problem when the base station is connected to a repeater. In this paper, we report the problem and propose a new calibration method to solve the problem.

In mobile communication systems, there are areas where signal coverage is not adequately accomplished by base stations. These areas may be underground parking zones, underground stores, tunnels, and insides of buildings, etc. In these areas, repeaters are broadly used as an economical solution. However, the capacity is decreased as the number of repeaters increases because the noise power that flows to a base station in the reverse link is proportional to the number of repeaters. The reduction of capacity in the reverse link is no longer negligible in the case that several tens or hundreds repeaters are connected to a base station. In this paper, we propose c repeater that is switched off automatically when there is no active user within its coverage. With the switching repeater, we can reduce the unnecessary noise level enhancement when there is no active user within the repeaters coverage. The reverse link capacity of a DS/CDMA system with AOS repeater is analyzed mathematically and compared with that without switching repeater. From the numerical results, noticeable improvement with the switching repeaters is shown.

The recent development of 4G mobile communication system has led to the rapid technology shift from conventional repeater systems using coaxial cable links towards new fiber optic repeater systems using fiber-optic links between the base station and the outdoor fiber optic repeater. The technical changes have brought up the increasing needs of robust optic links that can be used in harsh environments. Based on the most demanding requirements, a new outdoor optical connector employing 2-channel fiber optics, uplink and downlink, has been developed for the applications where the rugged environmental protection is essential. This paper describes the development of the new connector along with the design criteria and performance results. In summarizing, the prototype optical connectors have undergone extensive laboratory and field test, and they have shown exceptional optical and mechanical characteristics under extreme environmental conditions. The connectors have also exhibited capabilities of providing fast and easy installation while maintaining high performance fiber optic connections.

Even if ICS(Interference Cancellation System) repeater is used in wireless communication system, it has the disadvantage that it must have enough distance between Donor and Service antenna to be isolated. In this paper, new ICS repeater integrated antenna with high insolation characteristics is designed. The proposed antenna is fabricated for 800MHz and measured. Bandwidth and gain are optimized by changing the stub lengths near main patch and power divider, and also by changing the size of parasitic patch. The fabricated antenna has a return loss less than -13 dB, a gain over 3 dBi, and an isolation between the donor and the server antennas less than -56 dB from 824~894 MHz for CDMA mobile communication. Therefore, the proposed antenna structure can be applied to eliminate the shadow area and to expand the coverage area for any other wireless communication bands.

In this paper, the relay antenna was designed in consideration of the performance of the 28GHz band 5G mobile communication relay horn antenna, such as radiation pattern and return loss. A horn array for 5G mobile communication repeater was designed by arranging the antenna elements in phase, and the performance was analyzed. Unlike conventional WCDMA (3G) and LTE (4G), in millimeter wave band communication, high path loss occurs between transmission and reception. In the design of a 5G millimeter wave horn antenna, antenna performance such as isolation and gain between antenna elements as well as gain and bandwidth of the antenna must be additionally considered. The antenna gain of the single horn antenna (1×1) and the array horn antenna (2×4) in the 28GHz band is about 10.44d Bi and 19.58dBi, respectively, and the return loss is designed to be less than -18dB. It has proven its validity and has been shown to be suitable for application to 5G mobile communication relay system.

The mobile communication service is widely used and the repeaters is rapidly increasing because of the extending service areas. we propose a new Signed CMA(: Constant Modulus Algorithm) algorithm for ICS(: Interference Cancellation System) as a larger service area of mobile communication service. The proposed Signed CMA algorithm improved performances by adjusting step size values. We showed that the proposed algorithm could improve the Mean Square Error(: MSE) performance of Signed CMA. MATLAB(: Matrix Laboratory) is employed to analyze the proposed algorithm and to compare it with the experimental results. At the convergence of 1000 iteration state, the MSE(: Mean Square Error) performance of the proposed Signed CMA algorithm with step size of 0.0065 is about 5 dB better than the conventional CMA algorithm.

In this paper, we designed and implemented a cavity bandpass filter combined with a cross-coupling equalizer structure to enhance Group delay for 5G mobile network repeater, which can replace the SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) type bandwidth filter used in the existing mobile communication system. Using the 3D EM simulation tool (HFSS), the resonance frequency, the coupling coefficient between resonators, and external quality coefficient between resonators were calculated. Based on this, a 12th bandpass filter was constructed to have attenuation characteristics of more than 20dB at the edge end of both sides of the band with a metal cavity structure with a frequency band of 3500MHz to 3600MHz and bandwidth of 97.85MHz. The designed bandpass filter satisfies the group delay time requirement for the 5G mobile communication standard and the in-band and out-band frequency responses.
