In this paper, the measurement data is analyzed and channel parameters are derived through MIMO Channel measurements at 781MHz considering outdoor multi-path environment. 781MHz frequency band currently operates the DTV system. However, it will be allocated new mobile communication frequency band. The channel characteristics at 781MHz seem to be similar existing mobile communication system at 900MHz but a study on channel characteristics of signal transfer process is necessary because there is incomplete study in mobile networks at 781MHz. To avoid interference with Korean DTV broadcasting, we measured channel characteristics in city/suburban areas of Jeju island by channel sounder and $4{\times}4$ antenna of the ETRI(Korea Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute). Path Loss, Delay Spread, Angular Spread and K-factor were derived based on measured data.

In this paper, a new technique is proposed for obtaining the error probabilities of the VSB(vestigial sideband modulation) signal in the presence of the cochannel interference and frequency-selective fading channel. For the receivers, a suboptimal matched filter receiver and the MLSE(maximum likelihood sequence estimation) receiver, which is known to be optimal on the fading channel, are considered. First, for the matched filter receiver, the distributions of the random variables, which determine the SER(symbol error rate) are obtained by decomposing the multi-path fading channel into Rayleigh distributed main path and Gaussian distributed remained path channels. the random variables mean the energy of the main path and subpath respecitively, and SER can be calculated from the distribution of them. Next, for the case of the MLSE receover, it is found that the random variables are expressed as a function of integrals. In order to obtain the distribution for the random variables, we expanded each element of integrals with the KL(Karhunen-Loeve) transformation. And it is derived that the distributions for the transformed random variables are given by a sum of chi-square distributions. Finally, we calculated the error rate derived formula on the two-ray fading channel, which is one of widely used models for the frequency-selective fading channel. From the numerical results, it is found that for the matched filer receiver, performance degradation is significant, while the performance degradation at the MLSE receiver is insignificant on the frequency-selective fading channel. However, in case of cochannel interference environment, the error rateis found to increase significantly both at the matched filter and at the MLSE receiver.

In this paper, we implemented active noise control systems for active barriers with attenuation of road noise. And then we constructed by multi-channel audio systems and DAQ part, high performance DSP H/W. Active noise control firmware program was implemented for multi-channel off-line/on-line estimation methods for secondary path transfer functions and FIR/IIR filter structure main noise control algorithms. To evaluate performance of implemented systems, active barriers test bed was implemented and several experiments was performed by various noise cases.

This paper studies the channel estimation schemes of Time Division Duplex (TDD) Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system with a parallel interference cancellation (PIC) scheme in the multi-Path fading channel. Also, the effective interpolation scheme which maintains the merits of WCDMA TDD mode is proposed. By Monte Carlo simulations, it is shown that the proposed interpolation method can be used in order to obtain the proper performance of a multi-stage PIC and in order to reduce the required Eb/No in the second stage at a BER= 10$^{-2}$

The signal in wireless multi-path channel is affected by fading and ISI because of high data rate transmission, so the signal has the high error rate. The present modulation and demodulation method of DSRC system can not expect sufficient for providing data service over 1 Mbps, so the channel equalization and advanced modulation and demodulation methods are required. OFDM is generally known as an effective technique for high data rate transmission system, since it can prevent ISI by inserting a guard interval. However, a guard interval longer than channel delay spread has to be used in each OFDM symbol period, thus resulting a considerable loss in the efficiency of channel utilization Therefore the equalizer is necessary to cancel ISI to accommodate advanced ITS service with higher bit rate and longer channel delay spread condition In this paper, the channel equalizer for the OFDM -DSRC system was designed and its performance in a multi-path fading environment was evaluated with computer simulation.

This paper addresses a new blind channel equalization method using fourth-order cumulants of channel inputs and a three-layer neural network equalizer. The proposed algorithm is robust with respect to the existence of heavy Gaussian noise in a channel and does not require the minimum-phase characteristic of the channel. The transmitted signals at the receiver are over-sampled to ensure the channel described by a full-column rank matrix. It changes a single-input/single-output (SISO) finite-impulse response (FIR) channel to a single-input/multi-output (SIMO) channel. Based on the properties of the fourth-order cumulants of the over-sampled channel inputs, the iterative algorithm is derived to estimate the deconvolution matrix which makes the overall transfer matrix transparent, i.e., it can be reduced to the identity matrix by simple recordering and scaling. By using this estimated deconvolution matrix, which is the inverse of the over-sampled unknown channel, a three-layer neural network equalizer is implemented at the receiver. In simulation studies, the stochastic version of the proposed algorithm is tested with three-ray multi-path channels for on-line operation, and its performance is compared with a method based on conventional second-order statistics. Relatively good results, withe fast convergence speed, are achieved, even when the transmitted symbols are significantly corrupted with Gaussian noise.

Many CDMA systems provide pilot channels in order to help channel estimation process. Especially in wideband CDMA systems, the number of receive diversity paths can be large due to small chip duration and high multi-path resolution capability. Hence, the received signal power of each path is small for a given total SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) and the pilot power of each path may not be sufficiently large for accurate channel estimation. When the pilot power is small, one can use decision-directed channel estimation to utilize more energy of the received data. However, the decision errors can deteriorate the quality of decision-directed channel estimation. This paper proposes a novel channel estimation method that optimally utilizes receiver decisions as well as pilot symbols with the help of estimated SER (symbol error rate) and SNR. The proposed method computes two channel estimates using the pilot and the data channel filters and optimally combines them. The simulation results show that the proposed method is robust and outperforms the conventional pilot-symbol-aided channel estimation method.

This paper proposes a blind channel estimation scheme for long code direct sequence code division multiple access (DS­CDMA) systems with multipath fading channels. This scheme combines the advantages of Toeplitz displacement and correlation matching methods to achieve improved performance. The basic idea is to remove the effects of noise and interferences with Toeplitz displacement operation and then estimate the multi path channel parameters with the correlation matching method. Simulation results are presented to show that the proposed scheme provides better MSE performance and robustness against the near-far problem.

In this paper, we propose a mobile channel estimation algorithm using matching pursuit algorithm for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Least square (LS) algorithm, which is used as a conventional channel estimation algorithm for OFDM systems, has error probability of channel estimation affected by effects of noise. By estimating the channel of sparse type, the proposed algorithm reduces effects of noise during time intervals that multi-path signal doesn't exist. The proposed algorithm estimates a mobile receivingchannel using pilot information transmitted consequently. We compare performance of the proposed algorithm with the LS algorithm by measuring symbol error rate with 64QAM under a mobile multi-path fading channel model.
