In this paper we propose a direct sequence spread spectrum (DS/SS) modulation method which employs Gaussian-filtered minimum shift keying (GMSK) and permits simple code acquisition. A transmitter which includes a conventional GMSK modulator and pseudo-noise (PN) code generator can achieve the proposed modulation method. The received signal can be demodulated by four-phase correlator which can obtain the correlation value of received signal even if phase difference exists between the transmitter and the receiver. The modulation method employs phase-shift-keying (PSK) by modulating the phase of transmitted PN code for data transmission. We carried out hardware experiments and the measured bit error performance ensures the validity of this modulation method. Then we designed and developed a demodulator LSI which is applicable to a modulation method such as the DS/GMSK/PSK. The LSI is suitable for demodulation of spreadspectrum signal which can be demodulated by four-phase correlator.

This paper proposes a new antenna array calibration technique which uses frequency selection in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA)/time division duplexing (TDD) systems. In the proposed method, subbands or frequencies of good channel conditions are initially selected for channel measurements. The relative calibration is performed at the selected subbands, which compensates for mismatch of analogue gains in multiple antennas using the measured uplink and downlink channel parameters. Furthermore, the calibration parameters are interpolated in the frequency domain for the whole bandwidth. The proposed calibration maintains accurate channel reciprocity for the whole bandwidth compared to the conventional calibration which does not use the frequency selection. The proposed calibration technique is effective in exploiting channel reciprocity at both base station and terminals with feasible amount of feedback and low-cost operation.
