DESCRIPTION AND PERFORMANCE RESULTS FOR THE ADVANCED RANGE TELEMETRY (ARTM) TIER II WAVEFORMGeoghegan, Mark 10 1900 (has links)
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 23-26, 2000 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / The Advanced Range Telemetry (ARTM) program is a tri-service telemetry modernization project whose
goal is to assure that all Department of Defense (DoD) test and training ranges are able to use telemetry as
necessary to carry out their respective missions. Multi-h Continuous Phase Modulation (CPM) has been
selected by the ARTM JPO as the Tier II ARTM waveform, because it offers significant improvements over
both legacy telemetry waveforms (PCM/FM) and the newly-introduced Tier I waveform (Feher-patented
FQPSK) in terms of spectral containment and detection efficiency, while retaining a constant envelope
characteristic. The paper describes the theoretical and measured performance of the ARTM Tier II multi-h
CPM waveform, and the implementation of the trellis demodulator being developed for it.

An Investigation of Distance Spectrum on error Performance of Digital ModulationTsai, Ruei-Jhe 01 September 2003 (has links)
Conventionally, the free distance is taken as the principle criterion for computing the error of convolutional and linear block codes. In other words, a larger free distance implies a better correction ability for the error correction codes. Distance spectrum is also an important factor for Maximum likelihood decoding. In this thesis, distance spectrum for different convolutional codes and CPM systems are investigated by us. Experiments results has demonstrate that a better correction ability of a shorter free distance does exist in some cases if they have a better distance spectrum.
We also improve the fast algorithm for computing the distance spectrum developed by M. Cedervall and R. Johannesson. Their success is based upon the strategy of a traveling along the coding tree to find the distance spectrum. However, they need a new traveling for ever new distance computation. In contrast, we compute all the distance spectrum just in one travel by taking the advantage of the storing nodes of previous distance computation.

Distance Spectrum for a Coded ModulationWu, Ming-de 04 September 2004 (has links)
Combined coding with modulation is an important topic. It is verified in this thesis that a combined decoder and demodulation Viterbi receiver has a better error probability than a cascade of two separate Viterbi decoder and demodulator. Conventionally, the free distance is taken as the principle criterion for computing the error probability for coding or modulation. In many cases, distance spectrum needs to be provided for analyze the Maximum likelihood decoding. However, it is difficult for computing the distance spectrum for a combined coding with modulation because of a nonlinear structure inside.
In this thesis, we first build an augmented trellis for the combined coding with modulation. Applying the concept of difference by exclusive OR and regular subtraction to the augmented trellis, we build an improved virtual trellis. As a consequence the distance spectrum for our problem can be computed because of the linear structure of the virtual trellis. The distance spectrum for different convolutional codes and CPM systems are investigated by us. Experiments results have demonstrate that a better distance spectrum implies a better error ability.

Order of Distance Spectrum Members and its InfluenceHuang, Yung-cheng 05 September 2005 (has links)
Combined coding with modulation is an important topic. Conventionally, the free distance is taken as the principle criterion for computing the error probability for
coding or modulation. In many cases, distance spectrum needs to be provided for analyze the Maximum likelihood decoding. However, it is difficult for computing the
distance spectrum for a combined coding with modulation because of a nonlinear structure inside. In this thesis, we study the order of distance spectrum members to
find some limited number of members to present the whole distance spectrum.
In our previous work, we have built an augmented trellis for the combined coding with modulation. Applying the concept of difference by exclusive OR and regular subtraction to the augmented trellis, we build an improved virtual trellis. In this thesis, we expend the concept of subtraction to a pair relation. Thus, this augmented trellis is first composed of paired states and transition lines. Then, we use a partition principle to group the states and lines. Finally, the complex trellis is reduced to a reasonable structure. We therefore can apply distance spectrum computing algorithm to find the distance spectrum. The distance spectrum for different convolution codes and CPM systems are investigated by us. Experiments
results have demonstrate this distance spectrum is more accurate than before.

Generating Signal by Trellis and Study on its RecoveryTsai, Wen-Jung 31 August 2006 (has links)
Signal model and observation model are commonly used to describe a dynamic system model in system identification or estimation such as Kalman filtering. The signal model is usually described by a linear dynamical equation driven by generating noise. The observation model is composed of a linear transformed signal and an additive white Gaussian noise. In this thesis, we set the generating noise to be a white binary sequence.
This discrete generating noise makes the generating signal to be discrete. In contrast, the conventional generating signal is continuous. Discrete signal is simpler than the continuous signal. However, there still are too many states for this discrete signal. Therefore, defining the states and reducing the number of states are important in our work. In this thesis, we apply the tree structure to define the states. The number of states is reduced by focusing on the most probable working states. Afterwards, we apply two methods to recover the white sequence using the observation data. One is the Viterbi method; the other is Extended Kalman filter. Both methods are based upon the concept of signal states. Finally, we compare the error rates with the signal generated by continues phase modulation method.

Space-time Coded Systems with Continuous Phase ModulationMaw, Rachel Leigh January 2007 (has links)
Space-time coded systems developed in the last ten years have been designed primarily using linear modulation. Non-linear continuous phase modulation has desirable constant envelope properties and considerable potential in space-time coded systems. The work in this thesis is focussed on developing and analysing an integrated space-time coded continuous phase modulated (STC-CPM) system. The coding of the space-time encoder and the modulation is incorporated into a single trellis encoder. This allows state combining, which leads to complexity reduction due to the reduced number of states. Design criteria for STC-CPM are summarized and the Euclidean distance is shown to be important for code design. The integrated STC-CPM system design enables systematic spacetime code searches that find optimal space-time codes, to be easily implemented. Optimal rate-1/2 and rate-2/3 space-time codes are found by maximizing the system's minimum squared Euclidean distance. These codes can provide high throughput and good coding gains over un-optimized full rank codes, such as delay diversity, in a quasi-static flat fading environment. Performance bounds are developed using a union bound argument and the pairwise error probability. Approximations of the bounds are evaluated. These truncated upper bounds predict the slopes of the simulated performance curves at low error rates.

A COMPARISON OF ADAPTIVELY EQUALIZED PCM/FM, SOQPSK, AND MULTI-H CPM IN A MULTIPATH CHANNELHill, Terrance, Geoghegan, Mark 10 1900 (has links)
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 21, 2002 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / It is widely recognized that telemetry channels, particularly airborne channels, are
afflicted by multipath propagation effects. It has also been shown that adaptive
equalization can be highly effective in mitigating these effects. However, numerous
other factors influence the behavior of adaptive equalization, and the type of modulation
employed is certainly one of these factors. This is particularly true on modulations which
exhibit different operating bandwidths. In this paper, we will examine the effect
multipath and adaptive equalization for three modulation techniques which are either
already in use, or have been proposed, for airborne telemetry.

Frequency domain processing techniques for continuous phase modulationPark, Cheol Hee 14 February 2012 (has links)
The continuous phase modulation (CPM) has a constant envelope and compact output power spectrum that makes it a promising underlying technology for power and spectrum efficient broadband wireless communications. However, high implementation complexity (especially the complexity of the receiver) required to deal with the phase memory and inter-symbol interference has impeded its adoption for broadband wireless communications, and only a few simple CPM modulation schemes have mainly been used, e.g. binary MSK and GMSK. Thus, research on efficient CPM transceivers to reduce the computational and hardware complexity is important. The major contribution of this dissertation is the development of novel frequency domain processing techniques and transceiver strategies to improve power and spectral efficiency, and reduce the complexity of CPM modulation schemes. First, this dissertation presents simplified frequency domain receiver structures and decoding schemes in the frequency domain for binary and M-ary CPM block transmission. The frequency domain receivers utilize parallel and serial structures with frequency domain processing which considerably reduces hardware and computational complexity compared to conventional time-domain processing. In addition, the decoding schemes in the frequency domain eliminate the controlled phase memory through frequency domain phase equalization instead of maximum-likelihood sequential decoders, e.g. Viterbi decoders. Second, frequency domain channel estimation schemes for CPM block transmission are presented, which adopt superimposed training signals to achieve bandwidth and power efficiency while reducing the complexity. In these schemes, the proposed frequency domain channel estimation uses the superimposed training signals as a reference signal to reduce the throughput loss caused by conventionally multiplexed training signals. Superimposed training signal design is presented, and the trade-off between bandwidth efficiency and power efficiency is also analyzed. Third, block transmission schemes and frequency domain equalization methods for CPM are proposed, which consider linear processing instead of conventional decomposition-based processing. The schemes of frequency domain linear processing avoid the complexity overhead (both in computation and hardware) of conventional orthogonal- or Laurent decomposed-based equalizers. Finally, this dissertation extends CPM block transmission and frequency domain equalization to phase-coded (time-varying modulation index) CPM, which shows better error performance and bandwidth efficiency than fixed modulation index CPM's. / text

Noncoherent Demodulation with Viterbi Decoding for Partial Response Continuous Phase ModulationXingwen, Ding, Yumin, Zhong, Hongyu, Chang, Ming, Chen 10 1900 (has links)
ITC/USA 2013 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Ninth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 21-24, 2013 / Bally's Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV / With the characteristics of constant envelope and continuous phase, Continuous Phase Modulation (CPM) signal has higher spectrum efficiency and power efficiency than other modulation forms. A noncoherent demodulation with Viterbi decoding for partial response CPM signals is proposed. Simulation results indicate that the demodulation performance of proper partial response CPM is better than the traditional PCM-FM, which is a typical modulation of full response CPM. And higher spectral efficiency is also obtained by partial response CPM.
