In this paper, we propose an OFDM scheme with pre-IDFT/DFT and the frequency domain equalization on frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels. In this scheme, a two-dimensional block interleaving is used to randomize the correlated noise caused by the frequency domain linear equalizer. Then, the pre-DFT averages the interleaved noise enhancement and improves the error performance of the proposed scheme. Computer simulations confirm the bit error probability of the proposed scheme for multilevel modulations.

The directional MAC protocols improve spatial reuse, but require the exact location of destination and have the problem of deafness. In this paper, we propose a dual-channel MAC protocol with directional antennas for mobile ad-hoc networks. In the proposed MAC protocol, RTS/CTS are sent omnidirectionally as nodes do not have the exact location of the destination in mobile environments. Omnidirectional transmissions on control channel overcome deafness, but have low spatial reuse. We propose a new blocking algorithm to improve spatial reuse on control channel. We use the negative CTS (NCTS) to solve the exposed terminal problem. We confirm throughput of the proposed MAC protocol by simulations using Qualnet ver. 3.8 simulator.
Reduced-state sequence estimation (RSSE) for trellis-coded modulation (TCM) in cyclic prefixed single carrier (CPSC) with minimum mean-square error-linear equalization (MMSE-LE) on frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels is proposed. The Viterbi algorithm (VA) is used to search for the best path through the reduced-state trellis combined equalization and TCM decoding. Computer simulations confirm the symbol error probability of the proposed scheme.
Ad hoc DMAC protocols have been proposed to improve spatial reuse, but directional transmissions have the problem of deafness. In the ToneDMAC protocol [9], an omnidirectional out-of-band tone after transmitting DATA or ACK mitigates deafness, but cannot prevent the interference packets caused by retransmissions to node in deafness. In this paper, we propose a dual-tone DMAC protocol with the out-of-band start-tone and stop-tone. In the proposed MAC protocol, a start-tone prevents retransmissions to node in deafness and decreases the packet collision probability. Throughput performance of the proposed MAC protocol is confirmed by simulations using Qualnet ver. 3.8 simulator.

This paper describes optimization of H10-to- E01 mode converter by way of a right-angle E-plane junction (RAJ) between a rectangular waveguide and a circular waveguide in a waveguide rotary joint. Requirements for the optimized mode converter are formulated to provide the conjugate matching condition and analytical formulas for the rotary joint. A novel design procedure of the mode converter is proposed. An excellent performance of the mode converter fabricated for the Ka-band rotary joint is proved by computer simulation and the experimental results. The return loss and the insertion loss rotational effect are less than -25 dB and 0.02 dB in the 10% bandwidth, respectively.
In this paper, we derive expressions for the bit error probability of QPSK/OFDM on frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels. In the OFDM system, ICI (interchannel interference) caused by Doppler spread of the channel degrades the error performance of the system and introduces the error floor even for coherent detection. Analysis results show that the error performance of QPSK/OFDM can be degraded as the normalized maximum Doppler frequency fD /Bsub is increased where fD is the maximum Doppler frequency and Bsub is the subchannel bandwidth. Computer simulations confirm the theoretical analysis results for BPSK and QPSK signals.
