A new crest factor reduction (CFR) technique is presented to reduce the peak to average ratio (PAR) of a wide-band code division multiple access (WCDMA) signal. Simple CFR techniques hard limit the desired signal to reduce the amplitude peaks and filtering is used to remove the out-of-band distortion. Here the trade-off between allowing out-of-band distortion and the error vector magnitude (EVM) is investigated for different levels of PAR reduction. It is demonstrated that there is an optimum clipping level for a desired PAR when trading off adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) and EVM.

This paper describes ITCO (injection-tuned coupled-oscillators) that offers cost-effective, power-efficient, integrable, compact, and low cost spectral pure signal source for wireless communication systems. The measured phase noise for 9.2 GHz ITCO is typically -132 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset from the carrier with 18% DC-to-RF conversion efficiency respectively. To our knowledge, this is the best phase noise performance for a given class and DC-to-RF conversion efficiency so far reported.

The attractiveness and popularity of substrate integrated circuits (SICs) now become more and more apparent in our microwave and millimeter-wave community with numerous academic publications and industrial developments. This paper reviews the progress and the state-of- the-art of SICs-related research for developing low-cost high- density integration of microwave and millimeter-wave wireless devices and systems as well as microwave photonic applications. It is found that SICs may well be regarded as the next generation of high-frequency integrated circuits on the basis of their historical development path starting from the hollow rectangular waveguide. Challenging issues and future directions are discussed for research and developments, suggesting that SICs would be able to offer a potentially cost- effective and performance-promising solution for mass commercial applications.

Simulation technology suitable for extracting correlated and uncorrelated distortion in communication systems is presented. This is achieved through a new frequency- indexing scheme with the arithmetic operator method that separately tracks correlated and uncorrelated intermodulation products when multi-tone signals with uncorrelated phase are amplified through a nonlinear system. The indexing scheme is illustrated with a three-tone example and results from a fifth-order nonlinear amplifier excited by fifteen independent tones are considered. In the example it is shown that undesirable uncorrelated in-band distortion is lower than the innocuous correlated in-band distortion.

In this paper, a modified small-size tapered monopole antenna is optimized for ultra wideband applications. Our optimization procedure aims at finding an antenna not only with low VSWR, but also miniaturizing the antenna at the same time. In addition, since in UWB communication pulse distortion between the receiver and the transmitter is very crucial the impulse responses of the designed antennae were considered. The optimization technique proposed here is a real-coded compact genetic algorithm, RCCGA, based on the probability density function of each variable. The final design of the antenna works from 3.1 to 11.7 GHz with 48% lower area compared to previous work.

Designing antennas for modern wireless communications has become a challenge to antenna people, particularly for its special requirements of miniaturized size and sometimes its shape to be fitted with the device itself. In this paper, we describe a very recently developed PCS antenna having very high gain with compact size which should be ideal using as a PCS repeater/base station applications.

Optimum selection combining using the maximum energy (OSC-ME) criterion for M-ary noncoherent frequency shift keying signaling in independent and non-identically distributed (i.n.d.) fading channels is examined. A weighted maximum energy selection combining (WMESC) scheme is proposed and found to provide the virtually the same symbol error probability as the OSC-ME in Rician fading channels. The WMESC always provides power gain over the classical selection combining (SC) regardless of diversity order and signal-to-noise ratio.

In this paper, new channel parameters to characterize the capacity of single-input single-output (SISO) frequency-selective wireless channels are proposed, and the results of an indoor measurement campaign conducted at 2.38 GHz with a bandwidth of 20 MHz are reported. Using the Taylor series expansion of the channel capacity, the mean path gain that quantifies the average power gain of the channel and the normalized mean-square path gain that quantifies the frequency selectivity of the channel are derived. The experimental results verify that the proposed parameters better characterize the capacity than the root mean-square (RMS) delay spread that has been mostly used to parameterize wireless channels.

This paper analyzes the effects of recent development in Over-The-Air (OTA) Television Broadcasting that will allow for new full duplex digital services to be offered in the band. On February 17, 2009, the analog terrestrial television system will have fully transitioned to digital in the United States ending an era of analog TV broadcasting; Canada is to follow in August 2011. At that stage, broadcast RF spectrum will be only occupied by Digital Television (DTV) services making possible the co-existence of other (non-broadcast) digital services resulting from the improved spectrum efficiency offered by digital technology. This recent development allows for new digital services to be offered mainly to rural and remote areas where broadband Internet Multimedia Services (IMS), available in the urban and sub-urban areas are unlikely to be delivered by standard means. In an effort to improve even more the efficient use of the spectrum, the FCC issued a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) for the development of a Cognitive Radio (CR) type Unlicensed Device (UD) that would be deployed in the television band. These UDs would operate in the vacant DTV spectrum, known as "white space", thus fostering broadband access and IMS service delivery to end users. Concerns, however, have been raised by DTV broadcasters on the impact that these devices could have on DTV reception. To that end, studies were performed at CRC to quantify the level of interference generated by the Unlicensed Devices and their effect on DTV operations. The results from these studies will be presented in this paper and show that it is imperative that the UDs cognitive radio be able to detect and avoid channels being used by incumbents i.e., DTV and Cordless Microphones (CM). These cognitive radios will have to strictly abide by a set of rules such that harmful interference to the incumbents is avoided.

In the case of serving different types of services like mobile communication and mobile broadcast on the adjacent frequency bands in TD-CDMA, adjacent channel crossed-slot interference, caused by different ratios of uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) slots in these services, occurs. Usually, the number of time slots of broadcast DL is more than that of communication DL. In other words, these services have different switching points between DL and UL. Therefore, time slots of communication UL could exit at the same time as those of broadcast DL. These slots are called crossed-slots. Practically, antennas for communication and broadcast are close to each other such as on the same building. That is why communication UL signals with weak power are interfered by broadcast DL signals with strong power in the crossed-slots. We have proposed a scheme which can avoid adjacent channel crossed-slot interference and can realize smooth integration of mobile communication and mobile broadcast in TD-CDMA.
