Abstract

In this paper, the DMR(Digital Microwave Radio) system-based OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) scheme in microwave channel environments has been proposed and system performances have been evaluated. The existing single carrier DMR system has a complex system structure due to using high-level QAM(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) modulation scheme and so charmel capacity is limited by sensitive effects from fading. Therefore, in the proposed DMR system, it uses that the OFDM scheme for enhancement of fading distortion and also uses that the band-limited pulse shaping filter instead of windowing for no additional data such as GI/GB and for using efficient of IFFT/FFT block. The performance of OFDM/QPSK-DMR system and single carrier DMR system are analysed by computer simulation using two-ray model under the microwave channel environments The computer simulation results confirm that the fade margin of the proposed OFDM/QPSK-DMR system is highly increased as the number of sub-carriers is larger.

본 논문에서는 microwave 채널 환경에 적합한 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 기반의 DMR(Digital Microwave Radio)시스템 구조를 제안하고 시스템 성능을 분석하였다. 기존의 단일 반송파 방식의 DMR 시스템은 High-level QAM변조방식을 사용하며 시스템 구성이 복잡하고, 페이딩 채널에 매우 민감한 특성을 갖기 때문에 전송용량의 한계가 발생한다. 따라서 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위한 방안으로 페이딩 채널에 강한 OFDM 방식이 연구되어왔다. 본 논문에서는 기존 OFDM에서 사용된 windowing 방식 대신 BL-PSF(Band-Limited Pulse Shaping Filter)를 이용 하므로서 GI/GB(Guard Interval/Guard Band) 등의 잉여 데이터 사용을 지양하여 전송용량을 향상 시킬수 있도록 하였으며, IFFT/FFT 블록의 이용효율을 개선시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 본논문에서는 microwave 채널 환경에 대해 단일 반송파 방식의 DMR 시스템과 OFDM/QPSK-DMR 시스템의 성능을 시뮬레이션하여 비교분석하였다. 그 결과, 제안하는 DMR 시스템은 부 반송파의 수가 많아질수록 단일 반송파 방식의 DMR 시스템보다 우수한 fade margin을 갖는것을 알 수 있었다.
