| Abstract | Local oscillators are prevalent in most communication systems. They upconvert the baseband signals to the radio frequency (RF) at the transmitter, or downconvert the RF signals to intermediate frequency or baseband. Local oscillators suffer from a type of noises know as the phase noises (PHN). Since the performance of the local oscillators is crucial to the performance of the whole communication system, it is important to compensate the effects of the phase noise originated from the local oscillators. In this research, novel PHN compensation methods are proposed for both communication receivers and transmitters. The proposed approach uses the information provided by an additional signal path that is added with modest hardware overhead to better estimate the PHN.; For receivers, the oscillator output in this additional signal path is self-downconverted to the baseband by mixing itself with a delayed and conjugated replica so as to provide PHN information that is free from data-modulation. A joint prediction and smoothing Wiener filter can then be employed to obtain the minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) estimate of the PHN. Adaptive schemes are also presented using the least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm and recursive-least-square (RLS) algorithm. Simulations of a 64-QAM receiver confirm the analysis results of the PHN estimation performance, and show that the proposed method can improve the receiver performance significantly over the conventional schemes. Lab testing results for a BPSK receiver is also provided which suggests that the proposed scheme outperforms the conventional schemes.; The concept of self-down conversion is applied to the transmitter PHN compensation as well. It differs from the receiver PHN compensation in that two self-downconversion blocks are employed for transmitters, one to obtain a baseband PHN signal and one to obtain an estimation error signal. The adaptive transmitter PHN estimation algorithm is devised and simulated. The improvement in PHN spectrum can be as high as 10 dB.; There are generally two types of PHN models commonly used in the literature: the stationary PHN and the Wiener PHN. Both types of PHN can be compensated effectively by the proposed approaches. |
