Dual-Antenna RF CMOS Front-End for Interferer Removal in Ultra-Wideband Systems

Many ultra-wideband (UWB) systems are challenged by strong jammers and narrowband interferers. Using two antennas, we demonstrate a robust UWB radio frequency (RF) front-end design in a 0.25 μm mixed-signal complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The proposed realization is capable of adaptively removing a high-power, narrowband interferer early in the receiver chain avoiding front-end saturation and preserving UWB signal power. The early interferer removal resulting in interferer-free demodulation is based on the least mean squares (LMS) algorithm and achieved through a novel combiner low-noise amplifier and noise optimized filtering. Circuit level RF simulations of the proposed circuitry indicate a maximum improvement in signal-to-interference ratio of 39.6 dB.     

A Novel Receiver Architecture for DBF Antenna Array

The developments of the high speed analog to digital converters （ADC） and advanced digital signal processors （DSP） make the smart antenna with digital beamforming （DBF） a reality. In conventional M-elements array antenna system, each element has its own receiving channel and ADCs. In this paper, a novel smart antenna receiver with digital beamforming is proposed. The essential idea is to realize the digital beamforming receiver based on bandpass sampling of multiple distinct intermediate frequency （IF） signals. The proposed system reduces receiver hardware from M IF channels and 2M ADCs to one IF channel and one ADC using a heterodyne radio frequency （RF） circuitry and a multiple bandpass sampling digital receiver. In this scheme, the sampling rate of the ADC is much higher than the summation of the M times of the signal bandwidth. The local oscillator produces different local frequency for each RF channel The receiver architecture is presented in detail, and the simulation of bandpass sampling of multiple signals and digital down conversion to baseband is given. The principle analysis and simulation results indicate the effectiveness of the new proposed receiver.

一种新颖的低复杂度MIMO—BICM迭代接收机设计

本文提出了一种用于多入多出（MIMO）比特交织编码调制（BICM）系统的低复杂度迭代接收机方案．该方案在第一次迭代中采用线性最小均方误差（MMSE）滤波，而在随后的迭代中采用一种低复杂度MMSE结合软干扰消除（SIC）的算法来抑制残余干扰和噪声．该算法通过将软干扰消除后的残余干扰和噪声的各分量近似为不相关的随机变量，使得在MMSE滤波时不必矩阵求逆，从而大大降低了计算复杂度．仿真证实该方案可以获得和传统的基于MMSE结合SIC的方案几乎相同的性能。     

A Reconfigurable Narrow-Band MB-OFDM UWB Receiver Architecture

This paper presents an analysis on the receiver front-end architectures for multiband orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing ultra-wide-band (UWB) terminals. An interference analysis is carried out in order to derive the main linearity specifications of the receiver front-end. A reconfigurable narrow-band architecture is introduced that can best cope with the main challenges of the UWB receivers: broadband impedance matching and high out-of-band linearity. Simulation results show that linearity requirements can be achieved with sizeable margin.

A Beamspace-Time Blind RAKE Receiver for Sectored CDMA Systems

A beamspace-time (BT) RAKE receiver is proposed for multiple accessinterference (MAI) suppression and multipath diversity reception insectored wireless CDMA communications. The scheme involves three stages.First, a set of adaptive beamformers encompassing a prescribed angular sectoris constructed on an antenna array, each providing effective suppression ofout-of-sector MAI and reception of in-sector signal. Second, a set of adaptivecorrelators is attached to each beam to combat in-sector MAI. Finally, thebeamspace correlator output data are combined to capture the signal multipathscoherently.The above three-stage operation is performed in a blind mode inthat no training signal is needed.

A Disruptive Receiver Architecture Dedicated to Software-Defined Radio

The next generation of mobile terminals is faced with the emergence of the software-defined radio (SDR) concept. The communication devices tend to provide various wireless services through a multi-functional, multi-mode and multi-standard terminal. The SDR concept aims at designing a re-configurable radio architecture accepting all cellular or noncellular standards working in the 0-5-GHz frequency range. Some technical challenges have to be solved in order to address this concept. Working in the digital domain may be a solution but the analog-to-digital conversion cannot be done at Radio Frequencies, at an acceptable resolution and at an acceptable level of power consumption. The idea proposed here was to interface an analog pre-processing circuit between the antenna and a digital signal processor to pre-condition the RF signal. It uses the principle of a fast Fourier transform to carry out basic functions with high accuracy in a low-cost technology like CMOS. This paper presents the design and the behavioral simulations of this analog discrete-time device which gives the hardware flexibility required for a cognitive radio component.

Receiver Design for Optical PPM Systems

An optimum receiver structure for optical PPM systemics is considered and from this a simple sub-optimum receiver is proposed which offers significant SNR improvement relative to existing design approaches and yet requires few circuit changes. Receivers incorporating either p-i-n or avalanche photodiodes and FET or BJT preamplifiers are analyzed. The optimization technique relies on matching the frequency response of the receiver to that of the incident optical pulse and setting the avalanche gain and threshold detector at optimum levels. For a FET preamplifier the SNR improvement is 10.8 dB with a p-i-n photodiode and 4.7 dB with an avalanche photodiode. For a BJT preamplifier the SNR improvement is 3.1 dB and 2.3 dB with the p-i-n and avalanche diodes, respectively.

A Neural Network-Based Blind Multiuser Receiver for DS-CDMA Communication Systems

The Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) which is based on Wideband-Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) techniques is one of the most important broadband wireless communication systems. Adaptive Blind Multiuser Detection was widely considered for mobile receivers. The main drawback of this approach is that it achieves the optimum solution after a certain number of bit times. This paper deals with a new neural network approach in order to reduce the convergence time in different application environments. In particular, a modified Kennedy-Chua neural network, based on the Hopfield model is proposed. The neural network stability was investigated by means of a suitable analytical approach, while the performance of the proposed receiver scheme was derived by means of computer simulations. The numerical results shown in this paper highlight a fast convergence behavior of the proposed scheme, in particular under multipath-fading conditions. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
