In the transmitter, the M spreading codes of each user are generated by circularly shifting the prototype spreading code. A feedback pre-equalizer is employed to process the M-ary MC- CDMA signal before transmitted. The received signal is multiplied by the Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) result of the mirror image code of the prototype spreading code, and then demodulated by Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) demodulator. Compared with the conventional M-ary MC-CDMA receiver, the proposed scheme increases bandwidth efficiency, meanwhile, it achieves M-ary despread spectrum and multi-carrier demodulation, which reduces computation complexity remarkably.展开更多

Although many array calibration methods have been reported extensively in the literature, they almost all assumed an angularly independent model for array uncertainties. Few calibration methods have been developed for the angularly dependent array uncertainties. A novel and efficient auto-calibration method for angularly dependent gain and phase uncertainties is proposed in this paper, which is called ISM (Instrumental Sensors Method). With the help of a few well-calibrated instrumental sensors, the ISM is able to achieve favorable and unambiguous direction-of-arrivals (DOAs) estimate and the corresponding angularly dependent gain and phase estimate simultaneously, even in the case of multiple non-disjoint sources. Since the mutual coupling and sensor position errors can all be described as angularly dependent gain/phase uncertainties, the ISM proposed still works in the presence of a combination of all these array perturbations. The ISM can be applied to arbitrary array geometries including linear arrays. The ISM is computationally efficient and requires only one-dimensional search, with no high-dimensional nonlinear search and convergence burden involved. Besides, no small error assumption is made, which is always an essential prerequisite for many existing array calibration techniques. The estimation performance of the ISM is analyzed theoretically and simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and behavior of the proposed ISM.展开更多
