  • Introduction to Radio Systems
    Chapter 1 Introduction to Radio Systems Because radio systems have fundamental characteristics that distinguish them from their wired equivalents, this chapter provides an introduction to the various radio technologies relevant to the IP design engineer. The concepts discussed provide a foundation for fur- ther comparisons of the competing mobile radio access systems for supporting mobile broadband services and expanding into IP design for mobile networks. Many excellent texts concentrate on the detail of mobile radio propagation, and so this chapter will not attempt to cover radio frequency propagation in detail; rather, it is intended to provide a basic understanding of the various radio technologies and concepts used in realizing mobile radio systems. In particular, this chapter provides an insight into how the characteristics of the radio network impact the performance of IP applications running over the top of mobile networks—characteristics that differentiate wireless net- works from their fixed network equivalents. In an ideal world, radio systems would be able to provide ubiquitous coverage with seam- less mobility across different access systems; high-capacity, always-on systems with low latency and jitter; and wireless connectivity to IP hosts with extended battery life, thus ensuring that all IP applications could run seamlessly over the top of any access network. Unfortunately, real-world constraints mean that the radio engineer faces tough compro- mises when designing a network: balancing coverage against capacity, latency against throughput, and performance against battery life. This chapter introduces the basics of mobile radio design and addresses how these tradeoffs ultimately impact the perform- ance of IP applications delivered over mobile radio networks.

  • Performance Analysis of Diversity Techniques for Wireless Communication System
    1 Performance Analysis of Diversity Techniques for Wireless Communication System Md. Jaherul Islam [email protected] This Thesis is a part (30 ECTS) of Master of Science degree (120 ECTS) in Electrical Engineering emphasis on Telecommunication Blekinge Institute of Technology February 12 Blekinge Institute of Technology School of Engineering Department of Telecommunication Supervisor: Magnus G Nilsson Examiner: Magnus G Nilsson Contact: [email protected] 2 Abstract Different diversity techniques such as Maximal-Ratio Combining (MRC), Equal-Gain Combining (EGC) and Selection Combining (SC) are described and analyzed. Two branches (N=2) diversity systems that are used for pre-detection combining have been investigated and computed. The statistics of carrier to noise ratio (CNR) and carrier to interference ratio (CIR) without diversity assuming Rayleigh fading model have been examined and then measured for diversity systems. The probability of error ( ) vs CNR and ( ) versus CIR have also been obtained. The fading dynamic range of the instantaneous CNR and CIR is reduced remarkably when diversity systems are used [1]. For a certain average probability of error, a higher valued average CNR and CIR is in need for non-diversity systems [1]. But a smaller valued of CNR and CIR are compared to diversity systems. The overall conclusion is that maximal-ratio combining (MRC) achieves the best performance improvement compared to other combining methods. Diversity techniques are very useful to improve the performance of high speed wireless channel to transmit data and information. The problems which considered in this thesis are not new but I have tried to organize, prove and analyze in new ways.

  • Jennifer Burton Thesis (PDF 1MB)
    ‘Fair Dinkum Personal Grooming’ Male beauty culture and men’s magazines in twentieth century Australia Jennifer Burton BA (Hons) Faculty of Creative Industries Queensland University of Technology 2008 1 Keywords Men’s magazines, masculinity, grooming, metrosexual, representation, cultural economy, media, readerships 2 Abstract In this thesis, I analyse the representation of grooming in Australian men’s lifestyle magazines to explore the emergence of new masculine subjectivities constructed around narcissism and the adoption of previously feminine-coded products and practices which may indicate important shifts in the cultural meanings of Australian masculinity. However, in order to talk about ‘new’ subjectivities and ‘shifts’ in masculine behaviours and cultural ideals, then it is imperative to demonstrate ‘old’ practices and ideologies, and so while the thesis is concerned with discourses of grooming and models of masculinity presented in the new genre of men’s lifestyle titles which appeared on the Australian market in the late 1990s, it frames this discussion with detailed analyses of previously unexplored Australian men’s general interest magazines from the 1930s. According to Frank Mort consumption, traditionally associated with the feminine has now become a central part of imagining men (1996: 17-18) while the representation and sale of masculinity is an increasingly important part of the ‘cultural economy’ (Mikosza, 2003). In this thesis I am concerned with the role of men’s lifestyle magazines and magazine representations of masculinity

  • DIVERSITY TECHNIQUES Prepared by Deepa.T, Asst.Prof. /TCE
    DIVERSITY TECHNIQUES Prepared by Deepa.T, Asst.Prof. /TCE Introduction •Three techniques are used independently or in tandem to improve receiver signal quality •Equalization compensates for ISI created by multipath with time dispersive channels (W>BC) ¾Linear equalization, nonlinear equalization •Diversity also compensates for fading channel impairments, and is usually implemented by using two or more receiving antennas ¾Spatial diversity, antenna polarization diversity, frequency diversity, time diversity Diversity Diversity: It is the technique used to compensate for fading channel impairments. It is implemented by using two or more receiving antennas. While Equalization is used to counter the effects of ISI, Diversity is usually employed to reduce the depth and duration of the fades experienced by a receiver in a flat fading channel. These techniques can be employed at both base station and mobile receivers. Spatial Diversity is the most widely used diversity technique. Spatial Diversity Technique‐ A Brief Description In this technique multiple antennas are strategically spaced and connected to common receiving system. While one antenna sees a signal null, one of the other antennas may see a signal peak, and the receiver is able to select the antenna with the best signal at any time. The CDMA systems use Rake receivers which provide improvement through time diversity. Diversity Techniques‐ Highlights • Unlike Equalization, Diversity requires no training overhead as a transmitter doesn’t require one. •It provides significant link improvement with little added cost. •It exploits random nature of wave propagation by finding independent ( uncorrelated) signal paths for communication. Fundamentals of Equalization ISI has been recognized as the major obstacle to high speed data transmission over mobile radio channels.
