Abstract

This paper describes the RF performance issues of UE for W-CDMA system based on 3 GPP specifications. The parameters of transmitter and receiver are derived from the viewpoint of RF performance. In order for UE to achieve high performance, the transceiver performance requirements such as ACLR, EVM, Peak Code Domain Error, spectrum emission mask, frequency error stability and TX power control dynamic range for transmitter and reference sensitivity level, blocking characteristics, noise figure, ACS, AGC dynamic range for receiver are considered. On the basis of the required parameters, the UE RF transceiver is implemented and then the evaluation of RF performance is accomplished through practical test scenarios.

본 논문은 3 GPP 규격을 바탕으로 한 W-CDMA UE 시스템의 RF 성능관련 내용을 다루고 있으며 송수신 파라미터를 RF 성능관점에서 유출하였다. 최적의 UE성능을 얻기 위해 송신기에 대해서는 ACLR, EVM, 피크코드영역 에러, 스펙트럼 방사 마스크, 주파수 오차 안정도, 송신전력제어 범위와 같은 성능 요구사항을 고찰하였고 수신기에 대해서는 수신 감도, 블록킹 특성, 잡음지수, 인접채널 선택도, 수신 ACC 범위 등이 고려되었다. 요구된 파라미터들을 근거로 UE RF 트랜시버를 구현하였고 실제 측정 시나리오에 따라서 RF 성능평가를 수행하였다.
