Method of Channel Equalization and Diversity Combining for Wireless Communication Channels

Modern wireless high-speed transceivers have adopted multicarrier modulation (MCM) system. The commonly known problems of the multicarrier modulation systems are bandwidth overhead arising from cyclic prefix samples, peak-to-average power ratio, the need for block synchronization, and high sensitivity to frequency offset/Doppler shift. This technology describes a single carrier system that eliminates the problems associated with the MCM systems.

Benefits
The proposed structure is applicable to both single and multiple receiver antenna applications. It will however be more useful in multiple antenna applications. This method has been found to work perfectly in wireless channels and achieves a performance close to matched filter bound when sufficiently large number of receive antennas are used. This technology is applicable to all variety of wireless communication channels, wherever multipath dispersion is a concern and has to be mitigated.

Stage of Development
A patentability opinion is being considered at this time. This technology is seeking partners for development-manufacturing-sales-etc of the working-final-etc product. It is available for developmental research support/licensing under either exclusive or non-exclusive terms.
