A characterization of indoor space and frequency diversity byray-tracing modeling

The performance of space and frequency diversity techniques at 1800 MHz in an indoor environment are investigated. Three linear signal combining techniques are considered: signal selection (SEL), maximal ratio combining (MRC), and equal gain combining (EGC). The computations of received fading envelopes are performed by means of an analytical model, based on a three-dimensional ray-tracing (RT)/uniform theory of diffraction (UTD) technique; the reliability of the adopted approach is confirmed by comparison with some test measurements. The electromagnetic field components are adequately processed to obtain the single branch and combined signal envelope. The results show the very significant benefits that can be achieved both in terms of diversity gain and diversity advantage for both diversity techniques. Antenna spacings of about 0.75-1λ are nearly sufficient for achieving optimum performance, whereas frequency separation on the order of 10 MHz is needed for sufficiently decorrelated transmission on the two carriers     

Full-rate full-diversity 2 × 2 space-time codes of reduced decoder complexity

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques have become an essential part of broadband wireless communications systems. For example, the recently developed IEEE 802.16e specifications for broadband wireless access include three MIMO profiles employing 2times2 space-time codes (STCs) and two of those are mandatory on the downlink of Mobile WiMAX systems. Conventional approaches to STC design are based on performance criteria such as coding gain, diversity gain, multiplexing gain, and ignore the decoder complexity. In this paper, we take an alternative approach and present a full-rate full-diversity 2times2 STC design leading to substantially lower complexity of the optimum detector than existing schemes. This makes the implementation of high performance full-rate codes realistic in practical systems.

A novel monolithic HBT-p-i-n-HEMT integrated circuit with HBTactive feedback and p-i-n diode variable gain control

We report the world's first functional MMIC circuit integrating HBT's, HEMT's, and vertical p-i-n diodes on a single III-V substrate. The 1-10 GHz variable gain amplifier monolithically integrates HEMT, HBT, and vertical p-i-n diode devices has been fabricated using selective MBE and a merged processing technology. The VGA offers low-noise figure, wideband gain performance, and good gain flatness over a wide gain control range. A noise figure below 4 dB was achieved using a HEMT transistor for the amplifier stage and a wide bandwidth of 10 GHz. A nominal gain of 10 dB was achieved by incorporating HBT active feedback techniques and 12 dB of gain control range was obtained using a vertical p-i-n diode as a varistor, all integrated into a compact 1.5×0.76 mm² MMIC. The capability of monolithically integrating HBT's, HEMT's, and p-i-n's in a merged process will stimulate the development of new monolithic circuit techniques for achieving optimal performance as well as provide a foundation for high performance mixed-mode multifunctional MMIC chips     

On the performance of Cartesian feedback and feedforward linearization structures operating at 28 GHz

Some performance results of the Cartesian feedback and feedforward linearization techniques applied to a class-A power amplifier operating at 28 GHz are presented. The performance of the combination of HMMC-5040 (driver) and HMMC-5033 (power amplifier) is used as benchmark for simulation analysis. This analysis is addressed to show the key aspects on spectral regrowth due to phase margin and loop gain for Cartesian feedback, and time delay, phase and gain mismatch for feedforward. A 16 QAM digital signal at 10 Mbits/s filtered with a squared raised cosine filter with /spl alpha/=0, 25 is used as test signal.     

Hybrid channel gain prioritized access‐aware cell association with interference mitigation in LTE‐Advanced HetNets

LTE‐Advanced heterogeneous networks deployment is meant to address the increasing demand for quality of service, high data rates and coverage extension. Load balancing is among the primary challenges, especially when the user equipments (UEs) associate with diverse transmission power network tiers using received signal strength. The low‐power network tier's spectrum will be underutilized, and UEs associated with them will be inflicted by interference from the high‐power network tier. The proposed hybrid channel gain prioritized access (HCGPA)‐aware cell association scheme stresses the importance of combined metrics with interference mitigation to simultaneously achieve load balancing and enhance performance among the network tiers. The high‐priority UEs associate with the tier that gives the maximum channel gain being higher than a given threshold. While the low‐priority UEs association is based on the maximum joint metrics (channel gain, channel access probabilities of low‐priority UEs and high‐priority UEs). The HCGPA scheme has 1.72 times the number of UEs connected to low‐power networks, 8% better load balancing fairness, compared with the conventional reference signal receive power and RSRP + 6 dB bias cell associations. Although the susceptibility of HCGPA to interference led to the poor signal to interference to noise ratio (SINR) performance of the cell‐edge UEs, the cell‐centre UEs exhibited the best spectral efficiency performance.

Characteristics of AlGaAs Fabry-Perot cavity type laser amplifiers

Signal gain, saturation power, and noise bandwidth, which are important parameters determining preamplifier and linear repeater system performance [1], were measured for an AlGaAs Fabry-Perot cavity type laser amplifier. The unsaturated signal gain increases with the pumping level and a maximum signal gain as high as 27 dB is obtained near oscillation threshold. The saturation output power, at which the signal gain is decreased from the unsaturated value by 3 dB, is -6 to -8 dBm. The beat noise powers between signal and spontaneous emission components were measured. The error rate characteristics of an AlGaAs laser preamplifier and Si photodiode scheme were studied at a data rate of 100 Mbits/s. The experimental results on noise powers and error rate performance are in reasonable agreement with the theoretical analysis given in an accompanying paper [1].
