Synthesizer modulation for wideband FM generationSnyman, A. (Anton) 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MScEng)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The high performance of present digital phase-locked loops makes it
the preferred choice for the generation of stable, low noise, tunable local
oscillators in wireless communications applications. Most transmitters
use superheterodyn techniques for up-conversion of the modulated signal
to the required transmission frequency. Another technique is to inject the
modulation signal into a phase-locked loop and consequently generate a
frequency modulated signal directly at the transmission frequency.
The aim of this study is to obtain a synthesizer configuration for the
effective generation of wideband FM, considering both passive and active
loop filters. The selection is based on synthesizer output signal quality,
settling time and loop response to the modulation signal. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die hoe werksverrigting van fase-sluit lusse maak dit die verkiesde keuse
vir die generasie van stabiele, lae ruis, verstelbare ossillators vir draadlose
kommunikasie toepassings. Meeste senders gebruik "superheterodyn"
tegnieke vir die op-menging van die gemoduleerde sein na die verlangde
uitsaai frekwensie. 'n Ander tegniek is om die modulasie sein in
'n fase-sluit Ius te voer en so doende 'n gemoduleerde sein direk by die
transmissie frekwensie te genereer.
Die doel van hierdie studie is om 'n sintetiseerder konfigurasie te verkry
vir die effektiewe opwekking van 'n wyeband FM sein, deur beide passiewe
en aktiewe Ius filters in konsiderasie te neem. Die seleksie geskiet gebaseer
op sintetiseerder uittree sein kwaliteit, sluit tyd en Ius gedrag as gevolg

Soft-decision decoding of permutation codes in AWGN and fading channelsKolade, Oluwafemi Ibrahim January 2017 (has links)
A Dissertation submitted in ful llment of the requirements for the degree of Master
of Science in the
School of Electrical and Information Engineering
January, 2017 / Permutation codes provide the required redundancy for error correction in a noisy
communication channel. Combined with MFSK modulation, the outcome produces
an e cient system reliable in combating background and impulse noise in the com-
munication channel. Part of this can be associated with how the redundancy scales
up the amount of frequencies used in transmission.
Permutation coding has also shown to be a good candidate for error correction in
harsh channels such as the Powerline Communication channel. Extensive work has
been done to construct permutation code books but existing decoding algorithms
become impractical for large codebook sizes. This is because the algorithms need
to compare the received codeword with all the codewords in the codebook used in
encoding.
This research therefore designs an e cient soft-decision decoder of Permutation
codes. The decoder's decision mechanism does not require lookup comparison with
all the codewords in the codebook. The code construction technique that derives the
codebook is also irrelevant to the decoder.
Results compare the decoding algorithm with Hard-decision plus Envelope Detec-
tion in the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh Fading Channels.
The results show that with lesser iterations, improved error correction performance
is achieved for high-rate codes. Lower rate codes require additional iterations for
signi cant error correction performance. The decoder also requires much less comup-
tational complexity compared with existing decoding algorithms. / MT2017

Adaptive power control as a fade countermeasure on satellite linksSweeney, Dennis G. 10 October 2005 (has links)
Satellite systems in the 20/30 GHz band are very susceptible to outages due to rain-induced fades. In order to reduce the impact of these fades, it has been proposed that the power of the uplink station transmitter be adjusted during the fade to compensate.
This dissertation will explore some of the issues involved in implementing this uplink power control (ULPC). Fade slope is examined as a parameter to predict signal strength during a fade. A fade slope model based on fade physics is presented, but it strongly suggests that fade slope is not an appropriate parameter for ULPC.
Real time scaling of attenuation from the downlink to the uplink shows more promise for ULPC. Differences in drop size distributions during a rain storm will result is different scaling factors. If the downlink attenuation is limited to 6 dB at 20 GHz, real time scaling can be accomplished. A scaling type ULPC algorithm driven by downlink attenuation is tested on 66 hours of OLYMPUS 20/30 GHz fade data. A similar algorithm driven by uplink attenuation is tested and the performance of the two algorithms is presented and compared. / Ph. D.

Symbol level decoding of Reed-Solomon codes with improved reliability information over fading channelsOgundile, Olanyika Olaolu January 2016 (has links)
A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Electrical and Information Engineering, 2016 / Reliable and e cient data transmission have been the subject of current research,
most especially in realistic channels such as the Rayleigh fading channels. The focus
of every new technique is to improve the transmission reliability and to increase
the transmission capacity of the communication links for more information to be
transmitted. Modulation schemes such as M-ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
(M-QAM) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) were
developed to increase the transmission capacity of communication links without
additional bandwidth expansion, and to reduce the design complexity of communication
systems.
On the contrary, due to the varying nature of communication channels, the message
transmission reliability is subjected to a couple of factors. These factors include the
channel estimation techniques and Forward Error Correction schemes (FEC) used
in improving the message reliability. Innumerable channel estimation techniques
have been proposed independently, and in combination with di erent FEC schemes
in order to improve the message reliability. The emphasis have been to improve
the channel estimation performance, bandwidth and power consumption, and the
implementation time complexity of the estimation techniques. Of particular interest, FEC schemes such as Reed-Solomon (RS) codes, Turbo
codes, Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes, Hamming codes, and Permutation
codes, are proposed to improve the message transmission reliability of communication
links. Turbo and LDPC codes have been used extensively to combat
the varying nature of communication channels, most especially in joint iterative
channel estimation and decoding receiver structures. In this thesis, attention is
focused on using RS codes to improve the message reliability of a communication
link because RS codes have good capability of correcting random and burst errors,
and are useful in di erent wireless applications.
This study concentrates on symbol level soft decision decoding of RS codes. In
this regards, a novel symbol level iterative soft decision decoder for RS codes
based on parity-check equations is developed. This Parity-check matrix Transformation
Algorithm (PTA) is based on the soft reliability information derived from
the channel output in order to perform syndrome checks in an iterative process.
Performance analysis verify that this developed PTA outperforms the conventional
RS hard decision decoding algorithms and the symbol level Koetter and Vardy
(KV ) RS soft decision decoding algorithm.
In addition, this thesis develops an improved Distance Metric (DM) method of
deriving reliability information over Rayleigh fading channels for combined demodulation
with symbol level RS soft decision decoding algorithms. The newly
proposed DM method incorporates the channel state information in deriving the
soft reliability information over Rayleigh fading channels. Analysis verify that this
developed metric enhances the performance of symbol level RS soft decision decoders
in comparison with the conventional method. Although, in this thesis, the
performance of the developed DM method of deriving soft reliability information
over Rayleigh fading channels is only veri ed for symbol level RS soft decision
decoders, it is applicable to any symbol level soft decision decoding FEC scheme.
Besides, the performance of the all FEC decoding schemes plummet as a result
of the Rayleigh fading channels. This engender the development of joint iterative channel estimation and decoding receiver structures in order to improve the message
reliability, most especially with Turbo and LDPC codes as the FEC schemes.
As such, this thesis develops the rst joint iterative channel estimation and Reed-
Solomon decoding receiver structure. Essentially, the joint iterative channel estimation
and RS decoding receiver is developed based on the existing symbol level
soft decision KV algorithm. Consequently, the joint iterative channel estimation
and RS decoding receiver is extended to the developed RS parity-check matrix
transformation algorithm. The PTA provides design ease and
exibility, and lesser
computational time complexity in an iterative receiver structure in comparison
with the KV algorithm.
Generally, the ndings of this thesis are relevant in improving the message transmission
reliability of a communication link with RS codes. For instance, it is
pertinent to numerous data transmission technologies such as Digital Audio Broadcasting
(DAB), Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB), Digital Subscriber Line (DSL),
WiMAX, and long distance satellite communications. Equally, the developed, less
computationally intensive, and performance e cient symbol level decoding algorithm
for RS codes can be use in consumer technologies like compact disc and
digital versatile disc. / GS2016

Modelling, information capacity, and estimation of time-varying channels in mobile communication systemsSadeghi, Parastoo, School of Electrical Engineering And Telecommunications, UNSW January 2006 (has links)
In the first part of this thesis, the information capacity of time-varying fading channels is analysed using finite-state Markov channel (FSMC) models. Both fading channel amplitude and fading channel phase are modelled as finite-state Markov processes. The effect of the number of fading channel gain partitions on the capacity is studied (from 2 to 128 partitions). It is observed that the FSMC capacity is saturated when the number of fading channel gain partitions is larger than 4 to 8 times the number of channel input levels. The rapid FSMC capacity saturation with a small number of fading channel gain partitions can be used for the design of computationally simple receivers, with a negligible loss in the capacity. Furthermore, the effect of fading channel memory order on the capacity is studied (from first- to fourth-order). It is observed that low-order FSMC models can provide higher capacity estimates for fading channels than high-order FSMC models, especially when channel states are poorly observable in the presence of channel noise. To explain the effect of memory order on the FSMC capacity, the capacities of high-order and low-order FSMC models are analytically compared. It is shown that the capacity difference is caused by two factors: 1) the channel entropy difference, and 2) the channel observability difference between the high-order and low-order FSMC models. Due to the existence of the second factor, the capacity of high-order FSMC models can be lower than the capacity of low-order FSMC models. Two sufficient conditions are proven to predict when the low-order FSMC capacity is higher or lower than the high-order FSMC capacity. In the second part of this thesis, a new implicit (blind) channel estimation method in time- varying fading channels is proposed. The information source emits bits ???0??? and ???1??? with unequal probabilities. The unbalanced source distribution is used as a priori known signal structure at the receiver for channel estimation. Compared to pilot-symbol-assisted channel estimation, the proposed channel estimation technique can achieve a superior receiver bit error rate performance, especially at low signal to noise ratio conditions.

Communication Strategies for Single-User and Multiuser Slow Fading ChannelsKannan, Arumugam 27 August 2007 (has links)
Technological progress in the field of wireless communications over the past few years has only been matched by the increasing demand for sophisticated services at lower costs. A significant breakthrough was achieved in the design of efficient wireless communication systems with the advent of the diversity concept. Spatial diversity exploits the availability of multiple spatial paths between the transmitter and receiver by placing antenna arrays at either end. In addition to improving the reliability of communication by creating redundant copies of the transmitted information at the receiver, wireless transceivers with multiple antennas exploit the spatial degrees of freedom to multiplex multiple streams of data and achieve significant gains in spectral efficiencies.
In this thesis, we design spatial diversity techniques for slow-fading wireless channels. There are two parts to this thesis: In Part I we propose spatial diversity techniques for point-to-point single-user wireless systems, while in Part II we propose multiuser cooperative diversity techniques for multiuser wireless communication systems.
In the first part, we propose a set of new wireless communication techniques for multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) channels over Rayleigh slow-fading wireless channels. We introduce MIMO transceivers that achieve high data rates and low error rates using a class of MIMO systems known as layered space-time (ST) architectures, which use low complexity, suboptimal decoders such as successive cancellation (SC) decoders. We propose a set of improved layered space-time architectures and show that it is possible to achieve near-optimal error performance over MIMO channels while requiring just SC decoding at the receiver. We show that these architectures achieve high rate and diversity gains. We also show that some of the proposed layered space-time architectures could find applications in multiple-access communications as low-complexity solutions for achieving near-optimum performance.
In the second part of this thesis, we propose novel techniques for cooperative communication between terminals in multiuser wireless communication systems. Cooperative communication is a concept where neighboring terminals share their antennas and signal processing resources to create a virtual transmit array . In addition to transmitting their own information, users in a cooperative communication system listen to transmission from other users and relay this information to the destination, thus creating multiple paths between transmitter and receiver. This form of diversity, known as cooperative diversity, helps improve the overall reliability of all the users in a network.
We start with a simple three node multiple-access system where two users are communicating with a common destination. We propose new high-rate cooperation strategies which achieve the full diversity gain offered by the cooperative channel for this simple system. We propose a new framework to address the tradeoff between cooperation and independent transmission over a multiple access channel and determine the conditions under which each idea is better than the other. Finally, we propose a high rate cooperation protocol which achieves the maximum diversity over a multiple access system with an arbitrary number of users and achieves high rates which scale favorably as the number of users increases.
