In this paper, we developed a system for measuring a passive intermodulation distortion signal of the mobile communication RF module having a wide band characteristic. The Broadband was designed to represent the characteristics of the receiver to meet the low noise characteristics and wideband characteristics in the RF receiver were to represent a wide dynamic range(high dynamic range)from the RF receiving end. PIMD designed passive intermodulation distortion signal measured by applying the FPGA / DSP in the system was measured to record the program on the PC. Variable up to 650MHz-2700MHz showed up to-138dBc measured PIMD3.

The multi-band (MB) ultra-wideband (UWB) communication system divides its available frequency spectrum in 3.1 to 10.6GHz into 16 sub-bands, which leads to inherent disparities between carrier frequencies of each sub-band. For instance, the highest carrier frequency is 2.65 times higher than the lowest one. Since the propagation loss is proportional to the square of the transmission frequency, the propagation loss on the sub-band having the highest carrier frequency is approximately 7 times larger than that on the sub-band having the lowest carrier frequency, which results in disparities between received signal powers on each sub-band. In this paper, we propose a novel correlation scheme for frequency hopping (FH) MB UWB communications, where the correlation time is adaptively adjusted relative to the sub-band, which reduces the disparity between the received signal energies on each sub-band. Such compensation for lower received powers on sub-bands having higher carrier frequency leads to an improvement on the total average bit error rate (BER) of the entire FH MB UWB communication system. We analyze the performance of the proposed correlation scheme in Nakagami fading channels, and it is shown that the performance gain provided by the proposed correlator is more significant as the Nakagami fading index n increases (i.e., better channel conditions).

Since the MB-OFDM(Multi-Band Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is an ultra wideband communication system operated on ISM(Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band, DAA(Detect-And-Avoid) is required for co-existence with the other communication service. In this paper we propose the new detection algorithm based on decision-feedback, which shows faster convergence time and less complexity than previous works. The proposed algorithm detects interference above -20dB in AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise) and LOS(Line-Of-Sight) channel, and close to AWGN in non-LOS channel under appropriate channel clipping.

This paper deals with the design and implementation of a limiter, which is a key component of the Ku-band radar system. The limiter design with the multi-pin diode switch was complemented by wideband signal attenuation, and realized the physical implementation. In the test result of implemented limiter, when the pin diode switch is all off, it is possible to transmit the incoming signal without distortion. Also when the pin diode switch is turned on sequentially, the input signal is attenuated about 20dB or more step by step. Finally when all of them were turned on, attenuation about 50dB or more were measured for a wide bandwidth(1000MHz) in Ku-band.

A bandwidth-enhanced ultra-wide band (UWB) CMOS balun-LNA is implemented as a part of a software defined radio (SDR) receiver which supports multi-band and multi-standard. The proposed balun-LNA is composed of a single-to-differential converter, a differential-to-single voltage summer with inductive shunt peaking, a negative feedback network, and a differential output buffer with composite common-drain (CD) and common-source (CS) amplifiers. By feeding the single-ended output of the voltage summer to the input of the LNA through a feedback network, a wideband balun-LNA exploiting negative feedback is implemented. By adopting a source follower-based inductive shunt peaking, the proposed balun-LNA achieves a wider gain bandwidth. Two LNA design examples are presented to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed approach. The LNA I adopts the CS amplifier with a common gate common source (CGCS) balun load as the S-to-D converter for high gain and low noise figure (NF) and the LNA II uses the differential amplifier with the ac-grounded second input terminal as the S-to-D converter for high second-order input-referred intercept point (IIP2). The 3 dB gain bandwidth of the proposed balun-LNA (LNA I) is above 5 GHz and the NF is below 4 dB from 100 MHz to 5 GHz. An average power gain of 18 dB and an IIP3 of -8 ~ -2 dBm are obtained. In simulation, IIP2 of the LNA II is at least 5 dB higher than that of the LNA I with same power consumption.

Recently, the multi-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(MB-OFDM) system, one of UWB system, can satisfy the requirement and can be applied to various wireless communication services because ultra-wideband(UWB) is a wireless communication technique that supports high data rate with low power. In this paper, the method applying Alamouti's space time block code(STBC) and cyclic delay diversity(CDD) is proposed. The proposed method can be easily applied with arbitrary number of relays and only needs two time slots of quasi stationary assumption. And it is applied to the MB-OFDM system. Second, an optimal relaying scheme based on decode-and-forward(DF) method is proposed which is provides good error performance compared to conventional schemes.

Recently, a great variety of radio services are provided and interference problem between radio systems is being watched remarkably. Therefore, a study of interference between radio systems is needed. In this paper, compatibility between Ultra Wideband (UWB) and Terestrial Digital Multi-media Broadcasting (T-DMB) is analyzed and then distance between them is computed. UWB systems have a very broad frequency characteristic. A big advantage is to share frequency that is already allocated to other systems. T-DMB is a good point that while L-Band is already used for DAB, T_DMB is free of charge. AT-DMB (Advanced T-DMB) is being standardized recently. The result which is analyzed for the interference effects between UWB and T-DMB Systems is 10 [dB], which is value calculated by C/(N0+I), at 80 [m] and then the value is saturated at 150 [m].

We present the Multi-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing ultra-wideband (MB-OFDM UWB) technology for increasing the transmission reach of wireless speaker systems. The proposed scheme adopts the Reed-Solomon coding for preventing the random error perfectly and shows the SNR gain in low bit error rate (BER) especially. So, we can increase the maximum reach of MB-OFDM UWB technology since the receiver sensitivity is improved. The simulation environment includes most effects of realistic channel environments such as Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN), CM1 channel model, Sampling frequency offset (SFO), Carrier frequency offset (CFO) to improve the simulation accuracy. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can give a maximum 2 dB SNR gain and increase the transmission reach up to 12.6m.

본 논문에서는 AMR(Adaptive Multi-Rate)과 MLT (Modulated Lapped Transform) 벡터 양자화 방법을 이용하여 광대역 음성부호화기를 설계하였다. 제안한 음성부호화 알고리즘은 split-band 구조를 가지고 있으며 16kHz로 샘플링 된 신호를 입력받아 QMF 필터에 의해 두 개의 대역으로 나누어, 각각 8kHz 샘플링 신호로 변환시킨 후 저대역(0Hz-3400Hz)의 신호와 고대역(3400Hz -7000Hz)의 신호로 나누어 각각 부호화한다. 나누어진 두 개의 협대역 음성신호는 AMR(Adaptive Multi-Rate)부호화기와 MLT (Modulated Lapped Transform)벡터 양자화 방법을 사용하여 각각 부호화되어 전송된다. 수신단에서는 각 대역을 AMR과 IMLT(Inverse MLT) 벡터 양자화 방법으로 역부호화하여 음성신호를 합성한다. 제안한 음성부호화기는 20.2kbps에서 12.15kbps까지의 다전송률로 동작된다. 설계된 광대역 음성부호화기는 MOS시험 결과로부터 G.722의 56 kbps 음성이 설계된 코더의 20.2 kbps와 비슷한 음질을 갖음을 확인할 수 있었다.
