小的波形因子可獲致較的佳的系統效能,然而改善卻相當有限.此外,較小

Sequence detection of digital signaling on the slowly time-
varying frequency-selective multipath fading channels is
investigated here. Two methods for sequence detection, namely,
maximum likelihood sequence estimation via Viterbi algorithm
(MLSE-VA) and sequential sequence estimation via single stack
algorithm(SSE-SSA) have been considered in this thesis. Joint
equalization and diversity reception technique is shown to have
significant advantage over employing equalization alone. In
addition to using diversity reception technique, the improvement
in perform-ance can be achieved at the sacrifica of increasing
the channel occupied bandwidth and/or the system complexity.
Furthermore, the amount of performance improvementis generally
associated with the imposed complexity, occupied bandwidth, and
the oper-ating signal to noise ratio (SNR). It is our main aim
to investigate the trade-offsbetween system performance, system
complexity, and bandwidth utilization. The obtainedresults of
this study are summarized as follows..With an increasing system
bandwidth, a better performance with lower system complexityis
obtained. In addition, for cases with diversity reception, the
performance improve-ment is less significant than ones without
diversity reception..With almost the same bandwidth and
complexity, the performance can be improved by properselection
of the shaping filter. In general, with a smaller roll-off
factor beta, a bettersystem performance is obtained. However,
the improvement is quite limited. In addition, a smaller roll-
off factor often results in a larger number of system states,
and then the MLSE and SSE receivers become much more
complicated. Nevertheless, in some cases, it ispossible to
obtain a better performance without increasing the system
complexity..Diversity reception is a pretty effective technique
for the performance improvement of maximum likelihood sequence
detection on frequency-selective multipath Rayleigh
fadingchannels..Antenna diversity reception often results in a
better performance, but requires twoor more sets of RF
equipments. Since it costs too much, it is unsuitable for the
practicalsituations. Instead, for the cases which can't apply
the antenna diversity reception, withan increasing occupied
bandwidth, there exists a complementary function to improve
thesystem performance..As far as system performacne is
concerned, SSE-SSA suffers a little degradation withrespect to
MLSE-VA. As shown, only less than 1 dB degradation for SSE-SSA.
