In orthogonal frequency division multiple access system, it is proposed that each user shares their allocated sub-channels instead of using the MIMO system to improve the transmission rate. In this paper, the performance of cooperative transmission scheme is evaluated in fading channel.

An effort is pursued by several European National Measurement Institutes to lower the uncertainties in calibration of UHV measuring systems for lighting impulse. To this end, several reference dividers are investigated as regards their accuracy both for amplitude and for time parameters. At SP RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, a 500 kV resistive reference divider has been in use since 2000. A...

Wideband measurements across the two frequency bands allocated for UMTS serivesc have been carried out in the dense urban environment of Manchester city centre and in the suburbas of Manchester. The data were anaylsed to characterise the differences between both the two 60 MHz bands and for corresponding 5-MHz bands. Reults of the individual bands and for the differences are presented from the ...

This paper addresses robust estimation for the frequency offset of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing in non-Gaussian noise channels. We first propose a maximum-likelihood (ML) estimator in non-Gaussian noise modeled as a complex isotropic Cauchy process, and then present a simpler, yet still robust, estimator based on the ML estimator. From numerical results, it is confirmed that the p...

A novel compact wideband (2-12 GHz) Wilkinson equal power divider on microstrip line is proposed in this paper. In this paper, a novel approach to the design of a Wideband (2-12) power divider is presented. In order to achieve the wideband performance, the divider is established by introducing variable width of microstrip line between input lines to output lines of different impedance. Finally,...

We consider a model for the injection-locked frequency divider, and study analytically the locking onto rational multiples of the driving frequency. We provide explicit formulae for the width of the plateaux appearing in the devil’s staircase structure of the lockings, and in particular show that the largest plateaux correspond to even integer values for the ratio of the frequency of the drivin...

A compact fully integrated wideband six-port device composed of a suspended stripline Wilkinson power divider and three bias stripline of 3-dB quadrature directional couplers is presented. In order to integrate a six-port circuit, a multilayer circuit structure has been adopted by the via hole interconnection at the output port of the divider. The 3-dB quadrature directional coupler is composed...

In this paper, we present a 2.2-GHz low jitter PLL based on sub-sampling. It uses a phasedetector/charge-pump (PD/CP) that sub-samples the VCO output with the reference clock. In contrast to what happens in a classical PLL, the PD/CP noise is not multiplied by N in this sub-sampling PLL. Moreover, no frequency divider is needed in the locked state and hence divider noise and power can be elimin...

Received Jan 5, 2018 Revised Mar 3, 2018 Accepted Mar 20, 2018 This paper proposed three modified Wilkinson power dividers in order to achieve a size reduction and a wide bandwidth. The first structure presented the power divider using compact folded step impedance transmission lines rather than the uniform microstrip line design for operating center frequency of 3 GHz. The second structure sho...

A 0.8-V CMOS Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) has been designed and fabricated by using a 0.13-μm 1p8m CMOS process. In the proposed PLL, the double-positive-feedbacks voltage-controlled oscillator (DPF-VCO) is used to generate current signals for the coupling current-mode injection-locked frequency divider (CCMILFD) and currentinjection current-mode logic (CICML) divider. A short-pulsed-reset phase fre...
