At the same time the analog front-end should provide low power consumption and a low cost solution. Hence a direct-conversion transmitter analog front-end architecture for an OFDM multi-antenna system will be proposed including the drawback of possible imperfect analog IQ signals. The expected analog imperfections will be compensated via software-based algorithms. The compensation techniques require IQ sample estimates from the transmitter envelope signal at the antenna input port. This paper provides a mathematical description of the software-based IQ estimation and provides simulation results in conjunction with a filter pre-equalization and quadrature compensation.","PeriodicalId":177645,"journal":{"name":"Radio and Wireless Conference, 2003.

However, simultaneous operation of 3Glx and IxEV-DV calls may degrade system capacity significantly as compared to operation of 3Glx calls alone. This paper presents analytical methodology in calculating interference for mixed 3Glx and IxEV-DV calls made in the forward link.

The VCO operates with supply voltage as low as 1 V. The tuning range was measured to be 14% and the measured phase noise was -117.5 dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 1 MHz from the 1.77 GHz carrier. The VCO and the buffers consume 14.7 mW power from a 1.5 V supply.

Unlike traditional MIMO multiple access schemes, which rely on orthogonal-temporal channels (e.g. TDMA), the proposed scheme, namely the spread space-spectrum multiple access (SSSMA), exploits the space-domain for multiuser multiplexing. As its name suggests, SSSMA utilizes the available degrees of freedom offered by the spread-spectrum and those by the multiple transmit antennas to perform multiple access. At the base-station transmitter, each coded data stream corresponding to a unique user-channel is modulated with a user-specific two-dimensional spreading sequence and added together with other channels' modulated signals. At each user's receiver, the multiple-access-interference (MAI) generated from the same base station is mitigated through iterative multiuser detection and decoding. We focus on the performance of SSSMA in two different environments: (1) local point-to-multipoint network such as central access LAN; and (2) a power-controlled cellular system. It is shown that not only does the SSSMA offer near-theoretic-capacity performance in both environments, it is able to exploit a new form of diversity, namely the space-interferers diversity, in an ideal power-controlled network while other MIMO multiple access schemes fail to do so.","PeriodicalId":177645,"journal":{"name":"Radio and Wireless Conference, 2003.

The main emphasis has been on providing acceptable gain, flatness, efficiency and linearity over the full UMTS band of 2.11 to 2.17 GHz at single circuit power levels of 90 watts.
