Abstract:
Disclosed is an automatic gain control device in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system. A variable gain amplifier controls a gain of an input signal; an energy calculator calculates an energy of the input signal; a truncator accumulates the calculated energies, finds an average thereof, and generates a DC offset of the input signal; a subtracter subtracts a predefined reference value from the DC offset, and outputs a signal; and an RC filter feeds the value output by the subtracter back to the variable gain amplifier so that the value output by the subtracter may be used for an automatic gain control. The predefined reference value given to be 4.Ov is a reference power generated based on a saturation to RMS ratio for minimizing the bit error rate of the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a signal transmitting apparatus, a method thereof, and an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) apparatus for a signal transmitting apparatus. A signal transmitting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention receives data, and performs inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) on the data on the basis of a twiddle factor for shifting output data by the size of a cyclic prefix. In addition, the signal transmitting apparatus sequentially stores data corresponding to the size of the cyclic prefix starting with initial data among the transformed data, and generates an OFDM symbol on the basis of the stored data and the transformed data. According to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to efficiently reduce a time delay and a memory use amount when a cyclic prefix is added at a transmitting end, without changing the size of hardware and power consumption.

The present invention relates to a method of calculating a log-likelihood ratio and a method of detecting a transmission signal. According to the present invention, when a transmission symbol candidate vector is detected on the basis of a received signal, a threshold value and an ML metric of each transmission symbol candidate vector are calculated and the ML metric that is larger than the threshold value is updated by the threshold value. Further, a log-likelihood ratio of the transmission signal bit is calculated using the updated ML metric and the threshold value, and a transmission signal is detected using the log-likelihood ratio.

The present invention relates to a transmitter of an OFDMA system capable of controlling a gain for variation of subchannel allocation, and a method thereof. The transmitter includes a subchannel number determining unit, a modulator, a digital/analogue converter, and a gain controller controlling the gain. The subchannel number determining unit determines the number of subchannels in use according to communication environments, and the modulator modulates transmission data with reference to the number of subchannels determined by the subchannel number determining unit and outputs the modulated transmission data. The digital/analogue converter converts the transmission data into analogue data and transmits the converted analogue data through a transmit antenna. The gain controller controls gains of the transmission data according to gain values corresponding to the number of subchannels.

Abstract:
A terminal of a communication system includes a power amplifier, an open-loop power controller, a gain controller, a modulator, and a digital/analog converter. The power amplifier amplifies transmission power of a transmission signal. The open-loop power controller measures a received signal strength to control the transmission power, and increases a gain of the power amplifier according to the received signal strength. The gain controller sets a power concentration gain and applies the power concentration gain to the transmission signal when the gain of the power amplifier is maximized. The modulator modulates the transmission signal. The digital/analog converter converts an input signal to an analog signal. The gain controller applies the power concentration gain to the trans mission signal modulated by the modulator, and transmits the power concentration gain to the digital/analog converter.
