This book presents a synthesis of the research carried out in the
Laboratory of Signal Processing and Communications (LaPSyC), CONICET,
Universidad Nacional del Sur, Argentina, since 2003. It presents models
and techniques widely used by the signal processing community, focusing
on low-complexity methodologies that are scalable to different
applications. It also highlights measures of the performance and impact
of each compensation technique. The book is divided into three parts: 1)
basic models 2) compensation techniques and 3) applications in advanced
technologies. The first part addresses basic architectures of
transceivers, their component blocks and modulation techniques. It also
describes the performance to be taken into account, regardless of the
distortions that need to be compensated. In the second part, several
schemes of compensation and/or reduction of imperfections are explored,
including linearization of power amplifiers, compensation of the
characteristics of analog-to- digital converters and CFO compensation
for OFDM modulation. The third and last part demonstrates the use of
some of these techniques in modern wireless-communication systems, such
as full-duplex transmission, massive MIMO schemes and Internet of Things
applications.
