  • An Overview of Signal Processing Techniques for Millimeter Wave MIMO Systems
    1 An Overview of Signal Processing Techniques for Millimeter Wave MIMO Systems Robert W. Heath Jr., Nuria Gonzalez-Prelcic, Sundeep Rangan, Wonil Roh, and Akbar Sayeed Abstract Communication at millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies is defining a new era of wireless com- munication. The mmWave band offers higher bandwidth communication channels versus those presently used in commercial wireless systems. The applications of mmWave are immense: wireless local and personal area networks in the unlicensed band, 5G cellular systems, not to mention vehicular area networks, ad hoc networks, and wearables. Signal processing is critical for enabling the next generation of mmWave communication. Due to the use of large antenna arrays at the transmitter and receiver, combined with radio frequency and mixed signal power constraints, new multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication signal processing techniques are needed. Because of the wide bandwidths, low complexity transceiver algorithms become important. There are opportunities to exploit techniques like compressed sensing for channel estimation and beamforming. This article provides an overview of signal processing challenges in mmWave wireless systems, with an emphasis on those faced by using MIMO communication at higher carrier frequencies. I. INTRODUCTION The millimeter wave (mmWave) band is the frontier for commercial – high volume consumer – wireless communication systems [1]. MmWave makes use of spectrum from 30 GHz to 300 GHz whereas most arXiv:1512.03007v1 [cs.IT] 9 Dec 2015 R. W.

  • Sources and Compensation of Skew in Single-Ended and Differential Interconnects
    Published on Signal Integrity Journal, www.signalintegrityjournal.com April 2017 Sources and Compensation of Skew in Single-Ended and Differential Interconnects Eben Kunz, Oracle Corp. Jae Young Choi, Oracle Corp. Vijay Kunda, Oracle Corp. Laura Kocubinski, Oracle Corp. Ying Li, Oracle Corp. Jason Miller, Oracle Corp. Gustavo Blando, Oracle Corp. Istvan Novak, Oracle Corp. Disclaimer: This presentation does not constitute as an endorsement for any specific product, service, company, or solution. 1 Published on Signal Integrity Journal, www.signalintegrityjournal.com April 2017 Abstract In high-speed signaling with embedded clock a few ps in-pair skew may cause serious signal degradations. Point-to-point topologies, long PCB traces put the emphases on local speed variations due to bends, glass- weave, deterministic and random asymmetries. First we analyze the contributors to the delay in single-ended traces. Length in differential pairs varies due to bends and turns. At each turn the outer trace has a little extra length. We show that using the center-line trace length can give a delay estimation error up to several ps. We will show how different turns, right angle, double 45-degree or arced turn, impact delay. Second, we look at practical ways of compensating skew. A few options are looked at and their performances compared. We consider a few statistical contributors to skew and establish a limit below which compensation makes no sense. The simulated data is illustrated by the measured performance of a few simple structures. Author(s) Biography Eben Kunz graduated from MIT in 2012 with a BS and Master's in EE.

  • Lip Synchronization in Video Conferencing
    C H A P T E R 7 Lip Synchronization in Video Conferencing Chapter 3, “Fundamentals of Video Compression,” went into detail about how audio and video streams are encoded and decoded in a video conferencing system. However, the last processing step in the end-to-end chain involves ensuring that the decoded audio and video streams play with perfect synchronization. This chapter focuses on audio and video; however, video conferencing systems can synchronize any type of media to any other type of media, including sequences of still images or 3D animation. Two issues complicate the process of achieving synchronization: ■ Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP)-based video conferencing systems separate audio and video into different RTP streams on the network. ■ Video conferencing systems also typically have separate processing pipelines for audio and video within the sender and receiver endpoints. This chapter covers the process of realigning those streams at the receiver. Understanding Lip Sync Skew Lip sync is the general term for audio/video synchronization, and literally refers to the fact that visual lip movements of a speaker must match the sound of the spoken words. If the video and audio displayed at the receiving endpoint are not in sync, the misalignment between audio and video is referred to as skew. Without a mechanism to ensure lip sync, audio often plays ahead of video, because the latencies involved in processing and sending video frames are greater than the latencies for audio. Human Perceptions User-perceived objection to unsynchronized media streams varies with the amount of skew— for instance, a misalignment of audio and video of less than 20 milliseconds (ms) is considered imperceptible.

  • Static Skew Compensation in Multi Core Radio Over Fiber Systems for 5G Mmwave Beamforming

Lively Head of Department, Costas Georghiades May 2011 Major Subject: Electrical Engineering iii ABSTRACT Jitter Tracking Bandwidth Optimization Using Active-Inductor-Based Bandpass Filtering in High-Speed Forwarded Clock Transceivers. (May 2011) Yang Liu, B.S., Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Samuel Palermo Inter-chip input-output (I/O) communication bandwidth demand, which rapidly scaled with integrated circuit scaling, requires high performance I/O links to achieve a per pin data rate as high as multi-Gb/s. The design of high-speed links employing forwarded-clock architecture enables jitter tracking between data and clock from low to high frequencies. Considering the impact of clock to data skew, high frequency sampling clock jitter and data jitter become out of phase at receiver, which reduces the timing margin and limits the data rate. The jitter tracking bandwidth (JTB) between data and clock should be optimized to compensate the clock to data skew.

  • Assessment of Multipath and Shadowing Effects on UHF Band in Built-Up Environments
    Assessment of Multipath and Shadowing Effects on UHF Band in Built-up Environments 1 1 2 3 A. A. Jimoh , N. T. Surajudeen-Bakinde , N. Faruk , 0. W. Bello 1Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, University of florin 2Department of Telecommunication Science, University of florin 3Department of Information and Communication Science, University of florin Abstract Ultra-high frequency (UHF) bands are radio frequencies in the range of300 MHz and 3 GHz. These bands are used for television broadcasting, mobile cellular systems, Wi-Fi, satellite communications and many others. Effective communication link in the UHF band requires direct line of sight between the transmitters and receivers. However, this is not always the case in built-up areas where diverse obstacles such as large buildings, trees, moving objects and hills are present along the communication path. These obstacles result in signal degradation as a result of shadowing (blockages) and multipath, which are two major causes of signal losses. Path loss models are used in predicting signal losses but, the accuracy ofthese models depend on the fitness between the model's predictions and measured loses. In this work, the multipath and shadowing effects on signal impairment were investigated through the use of empirical and semi-empirical path loss models analysis in built-up environments. Electromagnetic field strength measurements were conducted using four television transmitters at UHF bands along four major routes of Osun State, Nigeria. Experimental and simulation results indicated that the empirical models provide a better fit than the semi-empirical models. It was also found that the poor performance ofthe Knife Edge Model which is a semi-empirical model was traced to the bases of its formulation, which assumed point like knife edge for all obstacles on the path of radio propagation.
