In addition, the repeater will oscillate if the forward gain of the repeater is higher than the isolation between antennas. This paper proposes a method of estimating and compensating for the effects of the radiated coupling using digital processing. The real and imaginary components of the forward gain are dithered. The change in the power spectrum of the signal in response to the dithering is used to estimate the residual feedback coupling and reduce the echo magnitude. The dithering based echo measurements are unaffected by the autocorrelation of the input signal making it suitable for repeaters with low insertion delay. Results based on computer simulation models are provided.","PeriodicalId":448587,"journal":{"name":"2007 European Conference on Wireless Technologies","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123578548","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}

Our main concern is the impact of the ad hoc scenario associated with directive antennas on the system performance. Spatial diversity inherent to the ad hoc context, associated with directive antennas, allows good performance. However, performance is limited by multiple access interference (MAI). We propose three different methods to estimate MAI: a non parametric estimation, the Generalized Gaussian and the alpha-stable distributions. MAI is the additive of low interferers' contributions with a Gaussian like behavior and strong interferers which generate a heavy tail distribution. In this last case, the alpha-stable approach gives better results. We show that material and network constraints can significantly affect the nature of the MAI.","PeriodicalId":448587,"journal":{"name":"2007 European Conference on Wireless Technologies","volume":"307 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114280593","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}

However, these structures exhibit a direct path between LO and RF ports, which is undesirable for homodyne receiver operation. This work presents a novel and simple wideband SPDR with high isolation between LO and RF ports.
