However their envelope fluctuations result, after nonlinear amplification, in out-of-band emissions thus adjacent channel interferences. A solution is to linearize the power amplifier. We present an analog linearization loop based an an improved cartesian feedback method. Its performance is at least as good as those of designs of similar complexity and it offers a great robustness against variation of components characteristics encountered in large volume production. This paper also presents details on a nonlinear amplifier model which was essential for this study. Both AM-AM and AM-PM characteristics are considered. Tests conducted on hardware confirmed the validity of this modelling. A simulation was built to determine the spurious power seen by a receiver tuned to an adjacent channel.","PeriodicalId":323626,"journal":{"name":"1994 IEEE GLOBECOM.

In particular, the telecommunication standard bodies are mainly considering, for the specification of clocks, five frequency stability quantities: Allan (1991) variance, modified Allan variance, time variance, root mean square of the time interval error and maximum time interval error. The influence of time error measurement sampling period on the behaviour of these quantities is analyzed. Computer simulation and experimental measurement results are reported. With the aim of providing useful information for specification design. The results obtained show that the modified Allan variance and time variance behaviour is substantially dependent on the chosen measurement sampling period in the observation interval regions where white phase noise dominates.","PeriodicalId":323626,"journal":{"name":"1994 IEEE GLOBECOM.

The technique is based on the idea of inserting data dependent pilot symbols that forces the CPM signal to pass through known phase states periodically. When coupled with an appropriate front end filter and interpolation filter, very accurate channel state information (CSI) can be estimated at the receiver for fading compensation. Moreover, the accuracy of the CSI can be further refined by adopting a multiple-pass decoding approach. Finally, a precoding technique capable of essentially reducing the bit-error-rate (BER) by half is introduced.","PeriodicalId":323626,"journal":{"name":"1994 IEEE GLOBECOM.

In such a system the pulses will overlap in both frequency and time without intersymbol or interchannel interference. The pulses are generated by an optimisation procedure which minimise the out of band energy under the constraints of zero intersymbol and interchannel interference. Low out of band energy is important to achieve high bandwidth efficiency, especially when the number of channels is small. The optimisation procedure leads to an integral equation which is solved by expanding the pulse in truncated prolate spheroidal wave functions. Examples of optimised pulses and their spectrum are presented for lengths of 2, 3 and 4 symbol intervals.","PeriodicalId":323626,"journal":{"name":"1994 IEEE GLOBECOM.

The salient concept of the proposed method is a unique combination of design parameters: antenna height, transmit frequency, transmit power (ERP) and handoff threshold for which the cell radius remains within the Fresnel zone break point. In this region, the attenuation slope is similar to free space (/spl gamma//spl ap/=2) irrespective of the propagation medium. Consequently, a cell whose radius is within this region remains insensitive to the propagation medium, since diffraction and other scattering phenomena occur beyond the first Fresnel zone break point. A propagation model, incorporating the Fresnel zone phenomena, has been developed. It directly computes the cell radius as a function of frequency, antenna height, ERP and handoff threshold, for which the cell radius is always within the Fresnel zone boundary and remains virtually insensitive to variations of propagation medium. The radii available within this region are appropriate for low power PCS and micro-cellular services, offering a greatly simplified deployment process.","PeriodicalId":323626,"journal":{"name":"1994 IEEE GLOBECOM.

The number of harmonic magnitudes to be quantized depends on the fundamental frequency value and hence is variable, changing from frame to frame. The variable number of components to be quantized makes it difficult to use fixed-dimension vector quantization for harmonic magnitude encoding. In this paper, we introduce a quantization technique called non-square transform vector quantization (NSTVQ) which uses a fixed-dimension vector quantizer combined with a variable-size non-square transform which maps the variable-dimension harmonic magnitude vector into a fixed-dimension vector. The optimal reconstruction procedure for non-square transforms is derived and shown to be equivalent to an optimal least-square estimation procedure. The proposed technique is evaluated experimentally as part of a new coding system called spectral excitation coding (SEC). The results are compared to an existing technique which estimates the spectral shape using all-pole modeling followed by vector quantization of the LSP parameters.","PeriodicalId":323626,"journal":{"name":"1994 IEEE GLOBECOM.

The bit error rate (BER) results obtained permit the selection of an optimum combination of modulation index and receiver bandwidth. The BER performance of the cross-correlator is compared to that of the limiter-discriminator and found to be similar. This is noteworthy because the structure of the cross-correlator is ideally suited to DSP chip implementation and furthermore severe amplitude limiting does not have to be performed on the input signal to the receiver. Input signal amplitude variations of up to 20% of the average signal value can be tolerated with a 1 dB loss in performance. The receiver structure has the same form as for QPSK or QAM modulation. Thus a generalized demodulator that would demodulate QPSK, QAM or digital FM can be realized. The theoretical analysis [Farrell, 1993] of the receiver uses a Fourier series approach [Tjhung and Whittke, 1970] which takes into account the effects of FM distortion and intersymbol interference (ISI). Theoretical and simulation results are found to agree within 0.5 dB in E/sub b//N/sub o/. The authors also address the issue of timing recovery. Results obtained indicate that losses due to timing error can be reduced to less than 0.5 dB in E/sub b//N/sub o/.","PeriodicalId":323626,"journal":{"name":"1994 IEEE GLOBECOM.
