Multi-Gigabit Wireless data transfer at 60 GHz
In this paper we describe the status of the first prototype of the 60 GHz
wireless Multi-gigabit data transfer topology currently under development at
University of Heidelberg using IBM 130 nm SiGe HBT BiCMOS technology. The 60
GHz band is very suitable for high data rate and short distance applications as
for example needed in the HEP experments. The wireless transceiver consist of a
transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter includes an On-Off Keying (OOK)
modulator, an Local Oscillator (LO), a Power Amplifier (PA) and a BandPass
Filter (BPF). The receiver part is composed of a BandPass- Filter (BPF), a Low
Noise Amplifier (LNA), a double balanced down-convert Gilbert mixer, a Local
Oscillator (LO), then a BPF to remove the mixer introduced noise, an
Intermediate Amplifier (IF), an On-Off Keying demodulator and a limiting
amplifier. The first prototype would be able to handle a data-rate of about 3.5
Gbps over a link distance of 1 m. The first simulations of the LNA show that a
Noise Figure (NF) of 5 dB, a power gain of 21 dB at 60 GHz with a 3 dB
bandwidth of more than 20 GHz with a power consumption 11 mW are achieved.
Simulations of the PA show an output referred compression point P1dB of 19.7 dB
at 60 GHz.Comment: Proceedings of the WIT201
MIMO-UFMC Transceiver Schemes for Millimeter Wave Wireless Communications
The UFMC modulation is among the most considered solutions for the
realization of beyond-OFDM air interfaces for future wireless networks. This
paper focuses on the design and analysis of an UFMC transceiver equipped with
multiple antennas and operating at millimeter wave carrier frequencies. The
paper provides the full mathematical model of a MIMO-UFMC transceiver, taking
into account the presence of hybrid analog/digital beamformers at both ends of
the communication links. Then, several detection structures are proposed, both
for the case of single-packet isolated transmission, and for the case of
multiple-packet continuous transmission. In the latter situation, the paper
also considers the case in which no guard time among adjacent packets is
inserted, trading off an increased level of interference with higher values of
spectral efficiency. At the analysis stage, the several considered detection
structures and transmission schemes are compared in terms of bit-error-rate,
root-mean-square-error, and system throughput. The numerical results show that
the proposed transceiver algorithms are effective and that the linear MMSE data
detector is capable of well managing the increased interference brought by the
removal of guard times among consecutive packets, thus yielding throughput
gains of about 10 - 13 . The effect of phase noise at the receiver is also
numerically assessed, and it is shown that the recursive implementation of the
linear MMSE exhibits some degree of robustness against this disturbance
Subband filtered multi-carrier systems for multi-service wireless communications
Flexibly supporting multiple services, each with different communication requirements and frame structure, has been identified as one of the most significant and promising characteristics of next generation and beyond wireless communication systems. However, integrating multiple frame structures with different subcarrier spacing in one radio carrier may result in significant inter-service-band-interference (ISBI). In this paper, a framework for multi-service (MS) systems is established based on a subband filtered multi-carrier system. The subband filtering implementations and both asynchronous and generalized synchronous (GS) MS subband filtered multi-carrier (SFMC) systems have been proposed. Based on the GS-MS-SFMC system, the system model with ISBI is derived and a number of properties on ISBI are given. In addition, low-complexity ISBI cancelation algorithms are proposed by precoding the information symbols at the transmitter. For asynchronous MS-SFMC system in the presence of transceiver imperfections, including carrier frequency offset, timing offset, and phase noise, a complete analytical system model is established in terms of desired signal, inter-symbol-interference, inter-carrier-interference, ISBI, and noise. Thereafter, new channel equalization algorithms are proposed by considering the errors and imperfections. Numerical analysis shows that the analytical results match the simulation results, and the proposed ISBI cancelation and equalization algorithms can significantly improve the system performance in comparison with the existing algorithms
Conjugate-Root Offset-QAM for Orthogonal Multicarrier Transmission
Current implementations of OFDM/OQAM are restricted to band-limited symmetric
filters. To circumvent this, non-symmetric conjugate root (CR) filters are
proposed for OQAM modulation. The system is applied to Generalized Frequency
Division Multiplexing (GFDM) and a method for achieving transmit diversity with
OQAM modulation is presented. The proposal reduces implementation complexity
compared to existing works and provides a more regular phase space.
GFDM/CR-OQAM outperforms conventional GFDM in terms of symbol error rate in
fading multipath channels and provides a more localized spectrum compared to
conventional OQAM.Comment: 4pages, revised version submitted to IEEE WC
A survey on OFDM-based elastic core optical networking
Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is a modulation technology that has been widely adopted in many new and emerging broadband wireless and wireline communication systems. Due to its capability to transmit a high-speed data stream using multiple spectral-overlapped lower-speed subcarriers, OFDM technology offers superior advantages of high spectrum efficiency, robustness against inter-carrier and inter-symbol interference, adaptability to server channel conditions, etc. In recent years, there have been intensive studies on optical OFDM (O-OFDM) transmission technologies, and it is considered a promising technology for future ultra-high-speed optical transmission. Based on O-OFDM technology, a novel elastic optical network architecture with immense flexibility and scalability in spectrum allocation and data rate accommodation could be built to support diverse services and the rapid growth of Internet traffic in the future. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey on OFDM-based elastic optical network technologies, including basic principles of OFDM, O-OFDM technologies, the architectures of OFDM-based elastic core optical networks, and related key enabling technologies. The main advantages and issues of OFDM-based elastic core optical networks that are under research are also discussed
