This paper presents generalization and application for the conventional SISO decoding algorithm of Block Turbo Codes. R. M. Pyndiah suggested an iterative SISO decoding algorithm for Product Codes, two-dimensionally combined linear block codes, on AWGN channel. It wascalled Block Turbo Codes. Based on decision of Chase algorithm which is SIHO decoding method, SISO decoder for BTC computes soft decision information and transfers the information to next decoder for iterative decoding. Block Turbo Codes show Shannon limit approaching performance with a little iteration at high code rate on AWGN channel. In this paper we generalize the conventional decoding algorithm of Block Turbo Codes, under BPSK modulation and AWGN channel transmission assumption, to the LLR value based algorithm and suggest an application example such as concatenated structure of LDPC codes and Block Turbo Codes.

Modem digital communication systems are required to use forward error correction (FEC) codes to combat inevitable channel impairment. Turbo codes or low density parity check (LDPC) codes, using iterative decoding with soft decision detection (SDD) information, are the most common examples. The excellent performance of these codes should be conditioned on accurate estimation of soft decision detection information. In order to use FEC codes with iterative decoding for Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) system, reliable soft decision channel gain should be provided. In this paper, we investigate efficient SDD methods for turbo-coded MIMO system, and derive the corresponding formulas of SDD for various MIMO detection schemes. We present simulation results of the derived SDD schemes for turbo-coded MIMO systems, and show that the presented results almost approximate to maximum likelihood detection performance with much less computational load.

In this paper, we propose a improved turbo equalizer which generates a feedback signal through a simple calculation to improve performance in single carrier system with the LMS(least mean square) algorithm based equalizer and LDPC(low density parity check) codes. LDPC codes can approach the Shannon limit performance closely. However, computational complexity of LDPC codes is greatly increased by increasing the repetition of the LDPC codes and using a long parity check matrix in harsh environments. Turbo equalization based on LDPC code is used for improvement of system performance. In this system, there is a disadvantage of very large amount of computation due to the increase of the repetition number. To less down the amount of this complicated calculation, The proposed improved turbo equalizer adjusts the adoptive equalizer after the soft decision and the LDPC code. Through the simulation results, it's confirmed that performance of improved turbo equalizer is close to the SISO-MMSE(soft input soft output minimum mean square error) turbo equalizer based on LDPC code with the smaller amount of calculation.

We propose soft user data input on LDPC codes with parity encoded by the (1, 7) run length limited (RLL) code for perpendicular magnetic recording channel. The user data are encoded by maximum transition run (MTR) (3;11) code. In order to minimize the loss of code rate, the (1, 7) RLL code only encode the parity of LDPC. Also, to increase performance, we propose only user data part applied soft output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA). The performance using the SOVA showed good performance lower than 26 dB. In contrast, it showed worse performance high than 26 dB. This is because of incorrect soft information by high jitter noise and two different input types for LDPC decoder.

In this paper we design an irregular low-density parity-check (LDPC) code for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system, using a simple extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) chart method. The MIMO systems considered are optimal maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) detector. The MIMO detector and the LDPC decoder exchange soft information and form a turbo iterative receiver. The EXIT charts are used to obtain the edge degree distribution of the irregular LDPC code which is optimized for the MIMO detector. It is shown that the performance of the designed LDPC code is better than that of conventional LDPC code which was optimized for either the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel or the MIMO channel.

A control technique for the auxiliary buck/boost converter is proposed herein to improve the load transient response of the buck converter. The proposed technique improves the system efficiency by enabling the soft switching operation of the auxiliary converter. The design guidelines for achieving capacitor charge balance for the output capacitor during the transient are also presented herein. The experimental results revealed that the output voltage undershoot and settling time during the load step-up transient were 40 mV and 14 ㎲, respectively, and the output voltage overshoot and settling time during the load step-down transient were 35 mV and 21 ㎲, respectively. The performance and effectiveness of the proposed technique were experimentally verified using a prototype buck converter with a 15-V input, 3.3-V output, and 200-kHz switching frequency.

In this paper, we propose an iterative soft dimension reduction based multi-input multi-output (MIMO) detection for coded spatial multiplexing system. In spite of better performance of iterative MIMO detection, its computational complexity gives a significant burden to the receivers. To mitigate this problem, we propose a scheme employing all ordering successive interference cancellation (AOSIC) for hard-decision detection and dimension reduction soft demodulator (DRSD) with iterative decoding for soft-decision detectors, respectively. This scheme can reduce complexity of iterative soft MIMO detection and provide better performance than other conventional detectors.

In this paper, a soft-switching discontinuous mode (DCM) power factor corrected (PFC) converter is analyzed by applying the double Fourier series expansion. It is found that the fundamental component and higher-order harmonics included in the input current waveform are obtained by the Fourier series expansion of the mean value of the inductor current. From the theoretical analysis, a new method removing the distortion of the input current waveform is proposed. In spite of an open loop system, the proposed method makes a great improvement of the total harmonic distortion even if the ratio of output voltage to input voltage is very low.

This paper proposes a new non-isolated DC conversion circuit topology of the voltage source coupled inductor series resonant high-frequency PFM controlled boost chopper type DC-DC power converter using two in one IGBT power module, which can efficiently operate under a principle of zero current soft switching for wide output regulation voltage setting ranges and wide fluctuation of the input DC side voltage as well as the load variation ranges. Its steady state operating principle and the output voltage regulation characteristics in the open-loop-based output voltage control scheme without PI controller loop are described and evaluated from theoretical and experimented viewpoints. Finally, in this paper the computer-aided simulation steady-state analysis and the experimental results are presented in order to prove the effectiveness and the validity of voltage regulation characteristics of the proposed series resonant zero current soft switching boost chopper type DC-DC power converter circuit using IGBTs which is based on simple pulse frequency modulation strategy more than, 20kHz.

Recently, the demand has continued to increase for higher data rates and improved multimedia services through wireless internet access. In order to increase the data rate and link reliability, 3GPP LTE/A and IEEE 802.16e/m WiMAX systems incorporate MIMO transmission schemes. Since the hardware complexity increases with the number of transmit data streams and mobile devices have limited physical dimensions, an multiple input multiple output (MIMO) ystem with two antennas at both the transmitter and the receiver ($2{\times}2$) is considered to be a possible solution for mobile devices. In this paper, a low-complexity soft output MIMO symbol detector based on Modified-SQRD is proposed for mobile devices with two transmit and two receive antennas.
