Underwater Acoustic Channels (UAC) have inherent sparse characteristics. The traditional adaptive equalization techniques do not utilize this feature to improve the performance. In this paper we consider the Variable Adaptive Subgradient Projection (V-ASPM) method to derive a new sparse equalization algorithm based on the Minimum Symbol Error Rate (MSER) criterion. Compared with the original MSER algorithm, our proposed scheme adds sparse matrix to the iterative formula, which can assign independent step-sizes to the equalizer taps. How to obtain such proper sparse matrix is also analyzed. On this basis, the selection scheme of the sparse matrix is obtained by combining the variable step-sizes and equalizer sparsity measure. We call the new algorithm Sparse-Control Proportional-MSER (SC-PMSER) equalizer. Finally, the proposed SC-PMSER equalizer is embedded into a turbo receiver, which perform turbo decoding, Digital Phase-Locked Loop (DPLL), time-reversal receiving and multi-reception diversity. Simulation and real-field experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance in convergence speed and Bit Error Rate (BER).

An equalization algorithm is proposed to guarantee a stable performance in fast fading channels for digital television (DTV) systems from the advanced television system committee (ATSC) standard. In channels with high Doppler shifts, the conventional equalization algorithm shows severe performance degradation. Although the conventional equalizer compensates poor channel conditions to some degree, long filter taps required to overcome long delay profiles are not suitable for fast fading channels. The Proposed sparse equalization algorithm is robust to the multipaths with long delay Profiles as well as fast fading by utilizing channel estimation and equalizer initialization. It can compensate fast fading channels with high Doppler shifts using a filter tap selection technique as well as variable step-sizes. Under the ATSC test channels, the proposed algorithm is analyzed and compared with the conventional equalizer. Although the proposed algorithm uses small number of filter taps compared to the conventional equalizer, it is stable and has the advantages of fast convergence and channel tracking.

The computerized analysis of complicated circuits requires large memory capacity and considerable length of time. In order to enhance the efficiency of memory capacity and the executing time, Sparse Matrix is applied to the solution of simultaneous equations required for the analysis of amplification circuit. The optimization Subroutine, FMFP is utilized for the decision of optimum element parameters of an equalizer amplifier.

방송 서비스를 안정적으로 제공하기 위해서는 가시청시간율을 안정적으로 확보하는 것이 중요하다. 이를 위해서는 수신단에서 ToV SNR 부근에서의 추가적인 margin을 확보하는 기술이 요구된다. 기존 방송 시스템은 안테나를 하나만 사용하는 수신 환경을 가정하고 있으므로, 본 논문에서는 하나의 안테나로부터 수신된 신호를 서로 다른 equalizer 기법 2가지를 동시에 적용하여 마치 2개의 수신 안테나부터 신호를 수신한 효과를 얻었고, 그 출력을 weight combining 하여 최종 SNR 이득을 높이는 기술을 제안하였다. 특히, equalizer 기법은 기존에 성능이 우수하다고 알려져 있는 MMSE-DFE 기술과 최근 큰 주목을 받고 있는 compressed Sensing 기반 sparse-DFE 기술을 동시에 사용하였다. Simulation을 통해서 MMSE-DFE 또는 sparse-DFE를 단독으로 사용하는 것보다 두 기법을 가중치 결합을 통해서 사용함으로써 가시청시간율이 크게 향상되는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper presents implementation of Air protocol analyzer and physical layer design algorithm. The analyzer is a measurement system providing real-time analysis of wireless signals between User Equipment (UE) and Node-B. The implemented system proposed in this paper consists of Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). The waveform of Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) has been selected for verification of the proposed system. We designed the analyzer using equalizer algorithm and rake-receiver algorithm. Among various algorithms of designing the equalizer, we have chosen Linear Minimum Mean Square Error (LMMSE) equalizer that uses the inverse of channel matrix. Since the LMMSE equalizer uses the inverse channel matrix, it suffers from a large amount of computational load, while it outperforms most conventional equalizers. In this paper, we introduce an efficient procedure of reducing the computational load required by LMMSE equalizer-based receiver.

In this paper, we introduce the time-domain equalizer in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems using orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm. Since OFDM system inserts guard intervals, it shows robust performance against multi-path fading. However, in Doppler channel, inter-carrier interference (ICI) occurs because an orthogonality of sub-carriers does not maintain. A least squares (LS) algorithm is common method of time-domain equalizer, but if a channel length is longer, the performance deteriorates by noise. The multi-path fading is a summation of the different delay signal. And that has sparse properties in time-domain. Because the OMP algorithm of the compressive sensing (CS) algorithm restores the channel by choosing the important elements of sparse channel, it can reduce the influence of noise. We simulate the performance of time-domain equalizer in OFDM system with various channel environments using OMP algorithm compared with other equalization method.

본 논문에서는 열악한 주파수 선택적 페이딩이나 고속 페이딩 채널 환경에서 ATSC(Advanced Television System Committee) DTV 수신기의 등화 성능 향상을 위해 필터 탭을 선택적으로 사용하는 스파스 적응 등화기 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 등화기는 채널 추정을 수행한 후 등화기 초기화를 위한 탭 계수를 찾는다. 구해진 등화기 탭의 초기화 계수에 대해 특정 임계값을 적용하여 유효한 탭을 선택하여 활성화시킨다. 그리고 활성화 된 탭만을 이용하여 채널 등화를 수행한다. 결과적으로 기존 등화기와 동일한 탭 길이를 가지 고 있지만, 실제 사용하는 탭 수가 작아지므로 등화기의 단계상수를 크게 만들어 고속 페이딩 채널의 변화를 빠르게 추적할 수 있게 된다. 제안된 등화기 알고리듬의 성능 개선을 확인하기 위한 실험으로 ATSC DTV 성능분석 시 일반적으로 사용되는 브라질 채널 및 ATSC등화 성능 요구 조건에 대해 기존의 등화기와 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 기존의 등화기와 같은 안정성을 가지면서 빠른 수렴 속도를 가지고 고속 페이딩 채널 보상 능력의 큰 향상을 보였다.

In this paper, we proposed new fast scattered pilot synchronization techniques to reduce the burst synchronization time for the DVB-H receiving system with robustness. DVB-H terminals employ a TDM system called 'Time-Slicing' to reduce power consumption. In order to fully exploit the potential power reduction, the synchronization time for the DVB-H receiver must be very short. A typical DVB-T system uses the TPS Synchronization to determine the position of scattered pilots which are used for channel estimation, and it takes 68 OFDM symbol time. In this paper, several new fast scattered pilot synchronization techniques are proposed.
