Lecture 24: Modulation, Part 2 6.003: Signals and Systems Modulation December 6, 2011 1 Communications Systems Signals are not always well matched to the media through which we wish to transmit them. signal applications audio telephone, radio, phonograph, CD, cell phone, MP3 video television, cinema, HDTV, DVD internet coax, twisted pair, cable TV, DSL, optical fiber, E/M Modulation can improve match based on frequency. 2 Amplitude Modulation Amplitude modulation can be used to match audio frequencies to radio frequencies. It allows parallel transmission of multiple channels. z1(t) x1(t) cos w1t z2(t) z(t) x2(t) LPF y(t) cos w2t cos wct z3(t) x3(t) cos w3t 3 Superheterodyne Receiver Edwin Howard Armstrong invented the superheterodyne receiver, which made broadcast AM practical. Edwin Howard Armstrong also invented and patented the “regenerative” (positive feedback) circuit for amplifying radio signals (while he was a junior at Columbia University). He also in­ vented wide-band FM. 4 Amplitude, Phase, and Frequency Modulation There are many ways to embed a “message” in a carrier. Amplitude Modulation (AM) + carrier: y1(t) = x(t) + C cos(ωct) Phase Modulation (PM): y2(t) = cos(ωct + kx(t)) t Frequency Modulation (FM): y3(t) = cos ωct + k −∞ x(τ )dτ PM: signal modulates instantaneous phase of the carrier. y2(t) = cos(ωct + kx(t)) FM: signal modulates instantaneous frequency of carrier. t y3(t) = cos ωct + k x(τ)dτ −∞ ' v " φ(t) d ωi(t) = ωc + φ(t) = ωc + kx(t) dt 5 Frequency Modulation Compare AM to FM for x(t) = cos(ωmt). AM: y1(t) = x(t) + C cos(ωct) = (cos(ωmt) + 1.1) cos(ωct) t R t k FM: y (t) = cos ω t + k x(τ )dτ = cos(ω t + sin(ω t)) 3 c −∞ c ωm m t Advantages of FM: • constant power • no need to transmit carrier (unless DC important) • bandwidth? 6 Frequency Modulation Early investigators thought that narrowband FM could have arbitrar­ ily narrow bandwidth, allowing more channels than AM.

  • UNIT V- SPREAD SPECTRUM MODULATION Introduction
    UNIT V- SPREAD SPECTRUM MODULATION Introduction: Initially developed for military applications during II world war, that was less sensitive to intentional interference or jamming by third parties. Spread spectrum technology has blossomed into one of the fundamental building blocks in current and next-generation wireless systems. Problem of radio transmission Narrow band can be wiped out due to interference. To disrupt the communication, the adversary needs to do two things, (a) to detect that a transmission is taking place and (b) to transmit a jamming signal which is designed to confuse the receiver. Solution A spread spectrum system is therefore designed to make these tasks as difficult as possible. Firstly, the transmitted signal should be difficult to detect by an adversary/jammer, i.e., the signal should have a low probability of intercept (LPI). Secondly, the signal should be difficult to disturb with a jamming signal, i.e., the transmitted signal should possess an anti-jamming (AJ) property Remedy spread the narrow band signal into a broad band to protect against interference In a digital communication system the primary resources are Bandwidth and Power. The study of digital communication system deals with efficient utilization of these two resources, but there are situations where it is necessary to sacrifice their efficient utilization in order to meet certain other design objectives. For example to provide a form of secure communication (i.e. the transmitted signal is not easily detected or recognized by unwanted listeners) the bandwidth of the transmitted signal is increased in excess of the minimum bandwidth necessary to transmit it.

It is considered an ideal spreading code for its benefits in terms of large code resource quantity, nice correlation characteristics and high security. However, demodulating this underwater communication signal is a challenging job due to complex underwater environments. This paper addresses this problem as a target classification task and conceives a machine learning-based demodulation scheme. The proposed solution is implemented and optimized on a multi-core center processing unit (CPU) platform, then evaluated with replay simulation datasets. In the experiments, time variation, multi-path effect, propagation loss and random noise were considered as distortions. According to the results, compared to the reference algorithms, our method has greater reliability with better temporal efficiency performance. Keywords: underwater acoustic communication; direct sequence spread spectrum; chaos phase modulation sequence; partial least square regression; machine learning 1. Introduction The underwater acoustic communication has always been a crucial research topic [1–6].

The proposed CPM waveform quantization at the receiver is promising in terms of energy conveys the same information per time interval as the common and spectral efficiency. In this study, CPM waveforms with CPFSK while its bandwidth can be the same and even lower. symbol durations significantly shorter than the inverse of the signal bandwidth are proposed, termed faster-than-Nyquist CPM. Referring to the high signaling rate, like it is typical for faster- This configuration provides a better steering of zero-crossings than-Nyquist signaling [9], the novel waveform is termed as compared to conventional CPM. Numerical results confirm a faster-than-Nyquist continuous phase modulation (FTN-CPM). superior performance in terms of BER in comparison with state- Numerical results confirm that the proposed waveform yields of-the-art methods, while having the same spectral efficiency and a significantly reduced bit error rate (BER) as compared to a lower oversampling factor. Moreover, the new waveform can be detected with low-complexity, which yields almost the same the existing methods [7], [6] with at least the same spectral performance as using the BCJR algorithm. efficiency.

  • Digital Phase Modulation: a Review of Basic Concepts
    Digital Phase Modulation: A Review of Basic Concepts James E. Gilley Chief Scientist Transcrypt International, Inc. [email protected] August , Introduction The fundamental concept of digital communication is to move digital information from one point to another over an analog channel. More specifically, passband dig- ital communication involves modulating the amplitude, phase or frequency of an analog carrier signal with a baseband information-bearing signal. By definition, fre- quency is the time derivative of phase; therefore, we may generalize phase modula- tion to include frequency modulation. Ordinarily, the carrier frequency is much greater than the symbol rate of the modulation, though this is not always so. In many digital communications systems, the analog carrier is at a radio frequency (RF), hundreds or thousands of MHz, with information symbol rates of many megabaud. In other systems, the carrier may be at an audio frequency, with symbol rates of a few hundred to a few thousand baud. Although this paper primarily relies on examples from the latter case, the concepts are applicable to the former case as well. Given a sinusoidal carrier with frequency: fc , we may express a digitally-modulated passband signal, S(t), as: S(t) A(t)cos(2πf t θ(t)), () = c + where A(t) is a time-varying amplitude modulation and θ(t) is a time-varying phase modulation. For digital phase modulation, we only modulate the phase of the car- rier, θ(t), leaving the amplitude, A(t), constant. BPSK We will begin our discussion of digital phase modulation with a review of the fun- damentals of binary phase shift keying (BPSK), the simplest form of digital phase modulation.
