Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): This thesis presents a detailed system-level analysis of an all-digital transmitter hardware based on the Direct-Digital RF-Modulator (DDRM).
The purpose of the presented analysis is to evaluate whether this particular transmitter architecture is suitable to be used in LTE / LTE-A mobile phones.

The DDRM architecture is based on the Radio Frequency Digital-to-Analog Converter (RF-DAC), whose system-level characteristics are investigated in this work through mathematical analysis and MATLAB simulations.
In particular, a new analytical model for the timing error in the distributed up conversion is developed and verified.
Moreover, this thesis reviews the LTE and LTE-A standards, and describes how a baseband environment for signal generation/ demodulation can be implemented in MATLAB.
The presented system enables much more flexibility with respect to current commercial software's like Agilent Signal Studio.

Simulation results show that the most challenging specification to meet is the out-of-band noise floor, because of the stringent linearity and timing requirements posed on the RF-DAC.
This suggests that new means of reducing the out-of-band noise in all-digital transmitters should be researched, in order not to make their design more complicated than for their analog counterpart.
