DPD and CFR have been mainly investigated separately, and this is the contribution to the state of the art given here. The combination is attractive in modern wireless transmission systems due to the high peak-to-average-power-ratio (PAPR) of the signals employed. In these cases, the compression of the signal peaks performed by the amplifier in strong saturation region causes uncontrolled in-band and out-of-band distortion that degrades ACLR and EVM of the output signal. The joint architecture can take advantage from the improved linear output power given by DPD together with a controlled reduction of the peaks performed by CFR. The PA can in this way deliver a higher linear output power having at the same time a predictable linearity of the output RF signal. The concept has been implemented and tested on a commercial GaAs PA, obtaining an increased linear output power of 1.9 dB compared to the standalone PA when a WCDMA signal with PAPR of 3.47 dB is employed.","PeriodicalId":247495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127206703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The roughness condition of the tunnel walls has an influence on radio propagation and therefore should be taken into account when accurate power predictions are required. In this paper, we derive a general analytical formula for modeling the influence of the wall roughness. The formula can model practical tunnels formed by four dielectric walls, with each having an independent roughness condition. It is found that different modes are attenuated by the same wall roughness in a different way, with higher order modes being significantly more attenuated compared to the dominant mode. The derivation and findings are verified by numerical results based on both ray tracing and modal methods.","PeriodicalId":247495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124075518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work we analyze the energy detection characteristics over a generalized fading channel, modeled by the κ-μ distribution. Admitting the noise power estimation error, the worst-case of the probabilities of miss detection and false-alarm, due to the noise uncertainty, are derived under the spectrum utilization constraint. An optimal threshold selection is presented in order to allow the energy detector to operate in regions of low SNR. Field measurements are used to investigate in practice the usefulness of the κ-μ fading channel in cooperative spectrum sensing scenarios. Comparisons are performed against Rice fading model where it is possible to notice a great advantage in using the κ-μ distribution to describe the fading channel.","PeriodicalId":247495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129130662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
