The cancellation performance of a linearization loop is limited by the degree of an amplitude imbalance and a phase imbalance. A delay mismatch causes a phase variation as a function of frequency. Therefore, the cancellation performance and linearization bandwidth are limited by a delay mismatch. The expression for the effects of an amplitude imbalance, a phase imbalance, and a delay mismatch on the characteristics of a linearization loop is derived and analyzed. The simulation results are compared with the results obtained by means of using a commercial simulation tool and the exact agreement is reported. The derived equation could be used in designing a linearization loop and predicting the cancellation performance of the linearization loop usefully. Some useful characteristics, known from the simulation results obtained by using the derived equation, of a linearization loop for designing and implementing feedforward amplifiers are described in detail.

This paper presents a gain and phase mismatch calibration technique for an image-reject RF receiver. The gain mismatch is calibrated by directly measuring the output signal amplitudes of two signal paths. The phase mismatch is calibrated by measuring the output amplitude of the final IF output at the image band. The calibration of the gain and phase mismatch is performed at power-up, and the normal operation of the RF receiver does not interfere with the mismatch calibration circuit. To verify the proposed technique, a 2.4-GHz Weaver image-reject receiver with the gain and phase mismatch calibration circuit is implemented in a 0.18-${\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The overall receiver achieves a voltage gain of 45 dB and a noise figure of 4.8 dB. The image rejection ratio(IRR) is improved from 31 dB to 59.76 dB even with 1 dB and $5^{\circ}$ mismatch in gain and phase, respectively.

In this paper, we propose a new digital blind in-phase/quadrature-phase (I/Q) mismatch compensation technique for image rejection in a direct-conversion receiver (DCR). The proposed image-rejection circuit adopts DC offset cancellation and a sign-sign least mean squares (LMS) algorithm with a unique step size adaptation both for a fast and precise I/Q mismatch estimation. In addition, several performance-optimizing design considerations related to accuracy, speed, and hardware simplicity are discussed. The implementation of the proposed circuit in an FPGA results in an image-rejection ratio (IRR) of 65 dB, which is the best performance with modulated signals, along with an adaptation time of 0.9 seconds, which is a tenfold increase in the compensation speed as compared to previously reported circuits. The proposed technique will be a promising solution in the area of image rejection to increase both the speed and accuracy of future DCRs.

In the DVB-T2 system with a multiple-input single-output (MISO) transmission mode, Alamouti coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals are transmitted simultaneously from two spatially separated transmitters in a single frequency network (SFN). In such systems, each transmit-receive link may have a distinct carrier frequency offset (CFO) due to the Doppler shift and/or frequency mismatch between the local oscillators. Thus, the received signal experiences dual CFOs. This not only causes dual phase errors in desired data but also introduces inter-carrier interference (ICI), which cannot be removed completely by simply performing a CFO compensation. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes an iterative detection with dual phase errors compensation technique. In addition, we propose a successive-iterative ICI cancellation technique. This technique successively eliminates ICI in the initial iteration by exploiting pre-detected data pairs. Then, in subsequent iterations, it performs a fine interference cancellation using a priori information, iteratively fed back from the channel decoder. In contrast to previous works, the proposed techniques do not require estimates of dual CFOs. Their performances are evaluated via a full DVB-T2 simulator. Simulation results show that the DVB-T2 receiver equipped with the proposed dual phase errors compensation and the successive-iterative ICI cancellation techniques achieves almost the same performance as ideal dual CFOs-free systems, even for large dual CFOs.

A linear power amplifier is particularly emphasized on the system using a linear modulations, such as 16QAM and QPSK with pulse shaping. because intermodulation distortion which causes adjacent channel interference and co-channel interference is mostly generated in a nonlinear power amplifier. In this paper, parameters of a linearization loop, such as an amplitude imbalance a phase imbalance and a delay mismatch, are briefly analyzed to get a specific cancellation performance and linearization bandwidth. Experimental results are presented for IMT-2000 frequency band. The center frequency of the feedforward amplifier is 2140 MHz with 60 MHz bandwidth. When the average output power of feedforward amplifier is 20 Watt. the intermodulation cancellation performance is more than 21 dB. In this case, the output power of feedforward amplifier reduced 3.5 dB because of extra delay line loss and coupling loss. The feedforward amplifier efficiency is more than 7.2 % for multicarrier signals, 59 dBc for ACPR.

기존의 동일대역 간섭저감 방법은 무선기기 사이에 물리적인 이격거리를 지정하는 것으로 이격거리를 통해서 간섭을 억제한다. 만약 무선기기에서 동일대역 간섭을 저감할 수 있다면 물리적인 이격거리에 마진을 줄 수 있고, 수신기의 동작영역을 확장시키는 효과가 있으므로 간섭 대응 및 개선에 활용도가 크다. 본 논문에서는 동일대역 아날로그 간섭저감기의 구조를 제안하였고, 제안한 아날로그 간섭저감기의 설계와 구현에 대해서 기술하였다. 아날로그 간섭저감기를 설계하기 위해서 아날로그 간섭저감기의 성능에 영향을 미치는 지연(delay) 불일치, 위상오차 그리고 지연선로의 수에 따른 간섭저감 성능을 시뮬레이션 하였다. 16개의 지연선로로 구성된 아날로그 간섭저감기를 제작하였으며, 구현한 간섭저감기는 3.32㎓의 중심주파수에서 40MHz 대역폭을 갖는 5G(NR-FR1-TM-1.1) 신호에 대해서 약 10dB의 간섭저감 성능을 갖는다. 본 논문에서 제안한 아날로그 간섭저감기는 동일대역 간섭저감기로 활용가능하다.

최근에 PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio)을 저감하기 위하여 DFT-Spread OFDM(Discrete Fourier Transform-Spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 이 많이 연구되고 있다. 그러나 DFT-Spread OFDM 시스템에서는 발진기에서 발생하는 위상 잡음에 의한 DFT 확산 코드의 위상 오프셋 불일치로 인하여 기존 OFDM 시스템에 비하여 상대적으로 더 많은 간섭 즉 ICI(Inter-sub-Carrier-Interference)와 SCI(Self-Channel- Interference) 성분이 발생하여 성능이 나빠진다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 DFT-Spread OFDM 시스템의 위상 잡음에 의한 통신 성능의 영향을 분석한다. 그리고 위상 잡음 보상을 위한 기존의 ICI 제거 기법 (ICI self-cancellation method)을 검토하고, 2 가지 새로운 ICI 제거 기법을 제안한다. 또한, PAPR을 저감하고 동시에 위상 잡음에 의해 간섭을 제거하기 위하여, 기존 방법과 새로이 제안한 ICI 제거 기법을 사용하는 새로운 시스템을 구성하고 그 성능을 비교 분석한다. 분석 결과, DFT-Spread OFDM 시스템에 ICI 제거 기법을 적용한 새로운 시스템은 낮은 PAPR 특성을 유지하면서 위상 잡음에 의한 성능 악화를 최소화할 수 있다. 그 중에서 data-conjugate 기법과 새로 제안한 symmetric data-conjugate 기법을 적용한 DFT-Spread OFDM 시스템이 제일 우수하여 DFT-Spread OFDM 보다 크게 성능이 개선되며, data-conjugate 기법을 적용한 DFT-Spread OFDM이 좀 더 우수하다.
