Abstract
We have studied various issues with regard to the system and technological aspects of mobile communications, with emphasis on fading and signal distortion. Until now, research was focused mainly on signal attenuation. With the introduction of the digital and particularly broadband transmission at high bit rates signal modulation distortion became major concern. In conjunction with fading and signal strength it determines the performance of two-way and one-way mobile links. We performed signal fading and distortion simulation in the reverberation chamber which was particularly built for this purpose. In the case the reverberation chamber is properly designed it enables a realistic simulation of the mobile radio channel with Rayleigh and Rice fading statistics. We have built special measurement equipment which gives us the possibility of measuring fading statistics histogram, diversity reception gain, influence of fading and signal distortion on bit error rate in digital links, and studying the fading in CDMA systems. We have also studied a very promising method of wireless distribution of broadband signals to the end user. This method of optical generation and transmission of mm-wave RF signals has been lately of great interest because it is the only one that enables the construction of wireless broadband access network. Theoretical investigations have been conducted with regard to various methods of optical generation of RF signals, quality and performance of such signals in conjunction with different modulation formats. We have also investigated various limiting factors that occur in optical generation and at the transport site as well as in the final radio drop.
