Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 電信工程系 === 87 === In order to attain maximum output power, the high power amplifie (HPA) on board a satellite usually operates near the saturation point. It is well-known that the nonlinear characteristic of an HPA will induce the so-called AM/AM and AM/PM effects. AM/PM introduces nonlinear phase rotation that is especially harmful to phase-modulated signals. The "satellite channel" between the input of the uplink transmitter filter and the transponder output constitutes a nonlinear channel with memory that must be dealt with by the downlink receiver. This thesis intends to provide receiver solutions for the following three operation scenarios: (i) single BPSK/QPSK user, (ii) multiple BPSK/QPSK-modulated direct sequence spread spectrum (DS/SS) users, (iii) multiple BPSK/QPSK DS/SS users in the presence of narrow-band interference(NBI). We use a Volterra model to identify the above-mentioned nonlinear channel and analyze the impacts of such nonlinear distortions on the performances of various receiver structures. We also analyzed and simulated the corresponding mean-squared error (MSE) and bit error probability (BEP) performances.
