Self-correcting multi-channel Bussgang blind deconvolution using expectation maximization (EM) algorithm and feedback

Tang, Sze Ho 15 January 2009 (has links)
A Bussgang based blind deconvolution algorithm called self-correcting multi-channel Bussgang (SCMB) blind deconvolution algorithm was proposed. Unlike the original Bussgang blind deconvolution algorithm where the probability density function (pdf) of the signal being recovered is assumed to be completely known, the proposed SCMB blind deconvolution algorithm relaxes this restriction by parameterized the pdf with a Gaussian mixture model and expectation maximization (EM) algorithm, an iterative maximum likelihood approach, is employed to estimate the parameter side by side with the estimation of the equalization filters of the original Bussgang blind deconvolution algorithm. A feedback loop is also designed to compensate the effect of the parameter estimation error on the estimation of the equalization filters. Application of the SCMB blind deconvolution framework for binary image restoration, multi-pass synthetic aperture radar (SAR) autofocus and inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) autofocus are exploited with great results.

Προσαρμοστική ισοστάθμιση ανά τόνο σε xDSL συστήματα / Adaptive per tone equalization in xDSL systems

Πουλόπουλος, Παναγιώτης 01 October 2008 (has links)
Στα πλαίσια της συγκεκριμένης μεταπτυχιακής εργασίας εξετάζονται διάφορες τεχνικές βελτίωσης των modems που χρησιμοποιούνται στους δέκτες των xDSL συστημάτων, προκειμένου να επιτευχθεί μεγιστοποίηση της ταχύτητας μετάδοσης. Τα xDSL συστήματα είναι συστήματα που χρησιμοποιούν διαμόρφωση πολλαπλών φερουσών (Discrete Multitone – DMT). Η συμβατική μορφή ισοστάθμισης που απαντάται στα συστήματα αυτά, αποτελείται από έναν ισοσταθμιστή Τ-συντελεστών (Τ-tap) που ενεργεί στο πεδίο του χρόνου (TEQ) ακολουθούμενο από Ν ισοσταθμιστές 1-tap που δρουν στο πεδίο της συχνότητας (FEQ) σε κάθε τόνο ξεχωριστά. Η πρόταση που εξετάζεται σε αυτή τη διπλωματική εργασία είναι η μεταφορά του ισοσταθμιστή από το πεδίο του χρόνου στο πεδίο της συχνότητας και ο κατάλληλος συνδυασμός του με τον FEQ. Επομένως, θα προκύψει ένα σύστημα που θα αποτελείται από Ν παράλληλους ισοσταθμιστές T-tap ο κάθε ένας από τους οποίους θα λειτουργεί σε κάθε τόνο ξεχωριστά (Ισοστάθμιση ανά τόνο – PTEQ) . Με τον τρόπο αυτό επιτυγχάνεται η μεγιστοποίηση του ρυθμού μετάδοσης και ελαττώνεται η ευαισθησία του δέκτη στις παραμέτρους του καναλιού. Τα δύο προαναφερθέντα μοντέλα ισοστάθμισης, ο βέλτιστος PTEQ (MMSE PTEQ) και ο συνδυασμός ΤΕQ/FEQ συγκρίνονται μεταξύ τους. Ο βέλτιστος PTEQ παρουσιάζει μεγάλη πολυπλοκότητα κατά τον υπολογισμό των συντελεστών του. Για να γίνει αποδοτικά η αξιοποίηση των θετικών του στοιχείων, εξετάζονται διάφοροι προσαρμοστικοί τρόποι υπολογισμού του, με χρήση των αλγορίθμων RLS και LMS κατάλληλα ενταγμένων στο MMSE σύστημα. / This postgraduate thesis is about improvement techniques for modems which are used at the xDSL systems’ receivers, in order to maximize bit rate. xDSL systems are using multiple carrier modulation (Discrete Multitone – DMT). The conventional equalization scheme for these systems consists of one T-taps time domain equalizer (TEQ) followed by N 1-tap frequency domain equalizers (FEQ) per tone. In this thesis is proposed a modified scheme where the time domain equalizer is replaced by a frequency domain one, properly combined with the 1-tap FEQs. The resulting structure consists of N T-taps frequency domain equalizers per tone (Per Tone Equalizer – PTEQ). The outcome is a larger bit rate while the per tone receiver has reduced sensitivity to the channel’s parameters. The aforesaid equalization models, the optimal PTEQ (MMSE PTEQ) and the combined TEQ/FEQ, are compared. The optimal PTEQ structure presents great complexity during the calculation of its coefficients. In order to efficiently exploit its advantages, adaptive methods, using RLS and LMS algorithms properly imported at the MMSE system, are examined.

EXPERIMENTAL DEMONSTRATION OF MITIGATION OF LINEAR AND NONLINEAR IMPAIRMENTS IN FIBER-OPTIC COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS BY LDPC-CODED TURBO EQUALIZATION

Minkov, Lyubomir L. January 2009 (has links)
The ever-increasing demands for transmission capacity are the cause for the quick evolution of optical communication systems. Channel transmission at 100 Gb/s is already being considered by network operators. The major transmission impairments at these high rates are intra-channel and inter-channel nonlinearities, nonlinear phase noise, and polarization mode dispersion. By implementing LDPC-coded modulation schemes with soft decoding and Bahl-Cocke-Jelinek-Raviv (BCJR) algorithm for equalization we have demonstrated significant improvements in system performance experiencing several impairments simultaneously. The new turbo-equalization scheme is used as a mean to simultaneously mitigate both linear and nonlinear impairments. This approach is general and applicable to both direct and coherent detection.We provide comprehensive study of LDPC codes suitable for implementation in high-speed optical transmission systems. We determine channel capacity based on the forward step of the BCJR algorithm and show that by using LDPC codes we can closely approach the maximum transmission capacity that is possible. We propose the multilevel maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) turbo equalization scheme based on multilevel BCJR algorithm and an LDPC decoder, which considers independent symbols transmitted over both polarizations as two dimensional super-symbols. The use of multilevel modulation schemes provide higher spectral efficiency, while all related signal processing is performed at lower symbol rates, where dealing with PMD compensation and fiber nonlinearities mitigation is more manageable. We show significant improvement in system performance over a system employing an equalizer that considers symbols transmitted in different polarizations as independent.
