The PSK carrier signal recovery circuit using multi-layer coupled line was analyzed and designed. The fabricated carrier recovery 6 port element with multi-layer coupled line structure gets the simple architecture. It is possible to implement the carrier signal recovery circuit of the same structure with the multi-layer six port phase correlator of the direct receiver front-end. Based on the analysis of RML carrier recovery circuit using the multi-layer coupled line 6-port phase correlator, the multi-layer coupled line carrier signal recovery structure for multi-mode coherent demodulation was proposed. The fabricated multi-layer coupled line carrier signal recovery circuit for quadrature phase shift-keying shows a good carrier signal characteristic with a constant phase and phase error below ${\pm}3o$.

The UFMC(Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier) is one of multi-carrier transmission technique as a candidate of transmission method for the recent 5G communication system. The UFMC can be considered as the system which has both the advantages of OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) and the simplicity of FBMC(Filter Bank Multi-Carrier). CFO(Carrier Frequency Offset) causes the problem to lower the BER performance due to a mismatch between the sub-carriers in multi-carrier transmission scheme. The effect of CFO on UFMC is not greater than the OFDM. But it still degrades the system performance caused by interference between the sub-band. In this paper, we analyze the SNR degradation due to changes in the value of EsNo and CFO on UFMC system.

In this paper, we designed a multi-carrier digital transmitter for CDMA base-station using a direct conversion scheme and verified the performance through circuit simulations. We examined a new technology required to design a multi-carrier transmitter, then designed and simulated a multi-carrier digital transmitter. ADS (Advanced Design System), RF simulation S/W of Agilent Technologies, was used for designing and simulating the multi-carrier digital transmitter. First, we simulated a digital block and an analog block separately, then performed a co-simulation for entire system. From the results, the final analog outputs of the designed multi-carrier digital transmitter met the spectrum mask characteristics of IS-97 & 3G TS 25.104 standard requirements. It means that proposed scheme could be applied to implement a multi-carrier digital transmitter for CDMA base-station. Therefore, proposed multi-carrier digital transmitter using a direct conversion scheme can accomplish cost-reduction and improvements of technology in the next CDMA base-station.

This study addresses the analytic models for estimating the capacity and performance of the multi-carrierCDMA system where several carriers would be assigned to a single cell to accommodate the required trafficdemand. Two key features of the multi-carrier CDMA system, carrier selections of new calls and inter-camerhard handoffs, are accommodated in the models, Computation experiments are conducted to show the effectiveness of the proposed model.

In this paper, we proposed a trellis coded Multi-Carrier CDMA 16 QAM system with multiple transmit/receive antenna diversity technique, which is simple and suitable for indoor wireless communications. The proposed multiple transmit/receive antenna diversity technique is that the transmitter sends a trellis coded Multi-Carrier CDMA 16 QAM signal from multiple transmitting antennas with intentional time delays, which makes a receiver possible to distinguish and combine the signals from different antennas. In wireless indoor communication system, if we allow the increase of the complexity of the system, it is also possible to achieve additional diversity gain in the performance with the combination of the proposed technique and the conventional receiving antenna diversity. Furthermore, we have found that the proposed trellis coded Multi-Carrier CDMA 16 QAM system, which employs multiple transmit/receive antenna, is less sensitive to the multiple user interference and fading than conventional receiving antenna diversity systems.

This paper presents a systematic approach to study the carrier based pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques applied to diode-clamped and cascade multilevel inverters by using multi-modulating patterns. This method is based on the description of controllable redundant parameters in the modulating signals. A unified mathematical formulation is presented for carrier based PWM methods, which obtains outputs similar to the corresponding space vector PWM. A full and separate control of the fundamental voltage, vector redundancies and phase redundancies can be obtained in the carrier based PWM. In this paper, the proposed PWM method and corresponding algorithm for generating multi-modulating signals will be formulated and demonstrated by our simulations.

The performance of a multi-carrier CDMA system is analyzed considering frequency selective multipath fading and Near/Far effects. The number of multicarrier, multiuser, and arms of RAKE receiver, and the decay ratio of frequency selective multipath fading are used as a parameter for the performance analysis. More over, the distribution and the strength of multiuser interference are also considered. To evaluate the Near/Far effects in a multi-carrier CDMA system, three distribution models are assumed. In the first model, interference to carrier Ratio, I/C, ranges from -4 dB to 4dB, and at each 2 dB interval, 20 % of multiuser is assumed to be uniformly distributed. In the second one, I/C ranges from -2 dB to 2 dB, and 33.3% of multiuser is assumed to be equally dispersed at each 2dB interval. The third model is 0 dB of I/C, that is, with perfect power control, multiuser are assumed to be evenly located. In this paper, multi-carrier CDMA system adoption RAKE receiver is proposed to mitigate the frequency selective multipath fading. From the results, the third model(i.e. perfect power control) shows the best performance, and the narrower range of I/C causes the less effects to the desired signal, which reads to the better performance.

In this paper, we propose a novel Vehicular Ad-hoc Network(VANET) which includes communication and ranging features, using Spread Spectrum(SS) multi-carrier modulation scheme. In existing methods, a spread spectrum technique was used to communicate with other vehicles and raging was possible by detecting phase difference between transmission/reception of the PN signal. However, the use of high-speed PN signals is mandatory to detect possible errors of phase difference and to increase the analysis capacity. In the proposed system, multi-carrier modulation scheme was used as solution of mentioned problem. The multi-carrier modulation scheme uses smaller PN signal and chip-rate than the single-carrier modulation, so it is possible to send multiple carrier waves using the same frequency range. This technique (multiple carrier waves) allows to have the Equal Gain Combing (EGC) diversity effect, providing better result in phase difference error detection and raging accuracy.

Carrier recovery, the process of recoverying the carrier in receiver, removes the phase difference between VCO and the received signal. However, the conventional structure of carrier recovery cannot be applied to multi-level QAM demodulator because of the increasing decision interval and the complexity of control as the number of symbol increases. In this paper, we suggest a new carrier recovery algorithm using $\theta-matching$ algorithm for multi-level QAM demodulation to overcome this problem and analysis the performance and implement it.

In this paper, we develop a symbol/frame time and carrier frequency synchronization scheme for multi-carrier signaling in wireless mobile channels. The proposed scheme achieves simultaneous time synchronization and carrier frequency offset estimation. Simulation results show that the frequency offset of multiple sub-carrier spacings can be estimated and that performance is improved with robustness regardless of the cyclic prefix length.
