초록

This paper presents implementation of Air protocol analyzer and physical layer design algorithm. The analyzer is a measurement system providing real-time analysis of wireless signals between User Equipment (UE) and Node-B. The implemented system proposed in this paper consists of Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). The waveform of Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) has been selected for verification of the proposed system. We designed the analyzer using equalizer algorithm and rake-receiver algorithm. Among various algorithms of designing the equalizer, we have chosen Linear Minimum Mean Square Error (LMMSE) equalizer that uses the inverse of channel matrix. Since the LMMSE equalizer uses the inverse channel matrix, it suffers from a large amount of computational load, while it outperforms most conventional equalizers. In this paper, we introduce an efficient procedure of reducing the computational load required by LMMSE equalizer-based receiver.
