A precoding design for double space-time block coding (STBC) system is investigated in this paper, i.e., the joint processing of STBC and dirty paper coding (DPC) techniques. These techniques are used for avoiding dual spatial streams interference and improving the transmitter diversity. The DPC system is interference free on multi-user or multi-antenna. The STBC transceiver can provide the transmit diversity. Due to the benefits about offered by the STBC and DPC techniques, we propose a new scheme called STBC-DPC system. The transceiver design involves the following procedures. First, the ordering QR decomposition of channel matrix and the maximum likelihood (ML) one-dimensional searching algorithm are proposed to acquire reliable performance. Next, the channel on/off assignment using the water filling algorithm, i.e., maximum capacity criterion, is proposed to overcome the deep fading channel problem. Finally, the STBC-DPC system with the modulus operation to limit the transmit signal level, i.e., the Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP) scheme, is proposed to achieve low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) performance. Simulation results confirm that the proposed STBC-DPC/THP with water filling ML algorithm can provide the low PAPR and excellent bit error rate (BER) performances.

A compact uniplanar antenna design for tablet/laptop applications is proposed. The main design principle of this antenna is the use of the coupling-feed mechanism. The proposed antenna is composed of an inverted L-shaped parasitic element, T-shaped feeding strip, parasitic shorted strip, and a step tuning stub. With its small size of 55mm × 15mm × 0.8mm, the proposed antenna is able to excite dual wideband transmission over the full LTE/WWAN operation ranges of 698-960MHz and 1710-2690MHz. Furthermore, the proposed antenna also exhibits reduced ground effects, such that reducing the ground size of the proposed antenna will not affect its performance.

The single carrier block transmission (SCBT) system has become one of the most popular modulation systems because of its low peak to average power ratio (PAPR). This work proposes precoding design on the transmitter side to retain low PAPR, improve performance, and reduce computational complexity on the receiver side. The system is designed according to the following procedure. First, upper-triangular dirty paper coding (UDPC) is utilized to pre-cancel the interference among multiple streams and provide a one-tap time-domain equalizer for the SCBT system. Next, to solve the problem of the high PAPR of the UDPC precoding system, Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP) is developed. Finally, since the UDPC-THP system is degraded by the deep fading channels, the dynamic channel on/off assignment by the maximum capacity algorithm (MCA) and minimum BER algorithm (MBA) is proposed to enhance the bit error rate (BER) performance. Simulation results reveal that the proposed precoding transceiver can provide excellent BER and low PAPR performances for the SCBT system over a multipath fading channel.
