Finite-Alphabet Constant-Amplitude Training Sequences for Multiple-Antennas

Conference paper

We propose a method to identify training sequences for multiple-antenna transmissions over quasi-static frequency-selective channels. These sequences are constructed to belong to a standard constant-amplitude 2m-PSK constellation (such as BPSK, QPSK etc) to simplify the transmitter/receiver implementation. Many practical systems use training of predetermined length. Optimal sequences do not exist for all training sequence lengths and constellation alphabets. The proposed method allows us to identify training sequences that belong to a standard constellation for an arbitrary training sequence length and an arbitrary number of unknown channel taps. Performance bounds derived indicate that these sequences achieve near-optimum performance.

Taurus (constellation)

Taurus (Latin for "the Bull") is one of the constellations of the zodiac and is located in the northern celestial hemisphere. Taurus is a large and prominent constellation in the Northern Hemisphere's winter sky. It is one of the oldest constellations, dating back to the Early Bronze Age at least, when it marked the location of the Sun during the spring equinox. Its importance to the agricultural calendar influenced various bull figures in the mythologies of Ancient Sumer, Akkad, Assyria, Babylon, Egypt, Greece, and Rome.

Television antenna

A television antenna (TV aerial) is an antenna specifically designed for use with a television receiver (TV) to receive over-the-air broadcast television signals from a television station. Television reception is dependent upon the antenna as well as the transmitter. Terrestrial television is broadcast on frequencies from about 47 to 250 MHz in the very high frequency (VHF) band, and 470 to 960 MHz in the ultra high frequency (UHF) band in different countries.

Antenna (radio)

In radio engineering, an antenna (American English) or aerial (British English) is the interface between radio waves propagating through space and electric currents moving in metal conductors, used with a transmitter or receiver. In transmission, a radio transmitter supplies an electric current to the antenna's terminals, and the antenna radiates the energy from the current as electromagnetic waves (radio waves). In reception, an antenna intercepts some of the power of a radio wave in order to produce an electric current at its terminals, that is applied to a receiver to be amplified.

Wideband Multiport Antennas

Anja Skrivervik, Abdulkadir Uzun

In this paper, a wideband four port 2-6 GHz antenna is proposed. One-, two-, and four-port antennas are implemented and characterized between 2 and 6 GHz. The isolation between the ports is improved by connecting and optimizing the ground plane sections. T ...
