The receiver of the MIMO antenna system includes a window size decider and a beamforming weight selector. The window size decider stores a codebook with beamforming weights and selects the beamforming weights corresponding to a window size from the codebook, and the beamforming weight selector selects an optimal beamforming weight based on a current channel state among the beamforming weights outputted from the window size decider, and feeds back the selected optimal beamforming weight to a transmitter.
Abstract:
A communication system includes a transmitter and a receiver. If there is information data to transmit to the receiver, the transmitter generates a first transmission frame by signal-mapping the information data according to a first signal point mapping rule, and transmits the first transmission frame to the receiver. Upon receiving from the receiver a notification indicating a failure to normally receive the first transmission frame, the transmitter generates a second transmission frame by signal-mapping the information data according to a second signal point mapping rule preset such that a minimum squared Euclidean distance with the first transmission frame is maximized, and transmits the second frame to the receiver.

Abstract:
In a mapping method for signal combining in a wireless communication system, it is determined whether a full search is possible for an arbitrary mapping table. If the full search is possible, search metric values are computed for all possible constellation combinations and a constellation with a minimum value is produced using the computed search metric values. If the full search is not possible, a search metric value within an irregular constellation is continuously reduced, the reduced search metric value corresponding to a minimum value is obtained and a constellation with a minimum value is produced using the obtained reduced search metric value.

Abstract:
A method for fabricating a capacitor of a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of forming a seed layer over a semiconductor substrate, and forming multiple oxide layers on the seed layer, wherein wet etching of the multiple oxide layers decreases as the layers go up. A first opening is formed by exposing the seed layer by selectively dry etching the multiple oxide layer. A second opening is formed by wet etching the lateral surface of the first opening where the width of the first opening is expanded, wherein the lower part of the second opening is larger than the upper part. A bottom electrode is formed on the seed layer exposed at the bottom of the second opening, whereby the bottom electrode has an identical shape with the second opening, and the bottom electrode is formed with the ECD (Electro-Chemical Deposition) technique. The seed layer is exposed by removing the multiple oxide layer and then the exposed seed layer is removed. A dielectric layer is formed on the bottom electrode and a top electrode is formed on the dielectric layer.
