  • Protection of Data Transmission Systems from the Influence of Intersymbol Interference of Signals
    59 Protection of data transmission systems from the influence of intersymbol interference of signals © Volodymyr Yartsev 1 and © Dmitry Gololobov 2 1 State University of Telecommunications, Kyiv, Ukraine 2 Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. The problems of creating a regenerator of an optical system for trans- mitting discrete messages with the aim of protecting against the influence of in- tersymbol interference of signals using the methods of statistical theory for a mixture of probability distributions are considered. A demodulator adaptation model that calculates the weighted sum of 4 samples of the input signal and com- pares the resulting sum with a threshold value has been created and studied. The main operations for adaptation of the regenerator during demodulation of signals distorted by intersymbol interference are assigned under certain transmission conditions, which are formulated as the task of evaluating some parameters of the probability distribution of the mixture. A block diagram of a regenerating optical signal in which an algorithm for digital processing of a mixture is imple- mented is proposed. The analysis is carried out and the requirements for the pa- rameters of the analog-to-digital converter used in the regenerator are deter- mined. The results of modeling digital processing of a discrete test message to verify the process of adaptation of the device to the influence of intersymbol dis- tortions of signals are presented. The block diagram of a digital processing device is substantiated, in which high-speed nodes that perform real-time processing are combined with a microprocessor, which implements an algorithm for adapting the regenerator to specific message transmission conditions.

  • Iterative Methods for Cancellation of Intercarrier Interference in OFDM Systems
    MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC RESEARCH LABORATORIES http://www.merl.com Iterative Methods for Cancellation of Intercarrier Interference in OFDM Systems Andreas Molisch, Martin Toeltsch, Sameer Vermani TR2007-096 August 2008 Abstract We consider orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems with intercarrier interference (ICI) due to insufficient cyclic prefix and/or temporal variations. Intersymbol interference (ISI) and ICI lead to an error floor in conventional receivers. We suggest two techniques for the equalization of ICI. The first, called ”operator-perturbation technique” is an iterative technique for the inversion of a linear system of equations. Alternatively, we show that serial or parallel interference cancellation can be used to drastically reduce the error floor. Simulations show that, depending on the SNR and the origin of the ICI, one of the schemes performs best. In all cases our schemes lead to a drastic reduction of the bit error rate.

  • 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.

Ballal1, Ankit Chadha2, Neha Satam3 1Assistant Professor, Electronics and Telecommunication, VIT, Wadala Mumbai, India [email protected] 2Student, Electronics and Telecommunication, VIT, Wadala Mumbai, India [email protected] 3Student, Electronics and Telecommunication, VIT, Wadala Mumbai, India [email protected] Abstract: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a multi-carrier modulation technique which is very much popular in new wireless networks of IEEE standard, digital television, audio broadcasting and 4G mobile communications. The main benefit of OFDM over single-carrier schemes is its ability to cope with severe channel conditions without complex equalization filters. It has improved the quality of long-distance communication by eliminating InterSymbol Interference (ISI) and improving Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR). The main drawbacks of OFDM are its high peak to average power ratio and its sensitivity to phase noise and frequency offset. This paper gives an overview of OFDM, its applications in various systems such as IEEE 802.11a, Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) and Digital Broadcast Services to Handheld Devices (DVB-H) along with its advantages and disadvantages.

  • Multipath Propagation Bandlimited Channels
    What is Intersymbol Interference? Intersymbol interference is a signal distortion in telecommunication. One or more symbols can interfere with other symbols causing noise or a less reliable signal. The main causes of intersymbol interference are multipath propagation or non-linear frequency in channels. This has the effect of a blur or mixture of symbols, which can reduce signal clarity. If intersymbol interference occurs within a system, the receiver output becomes erroneous at the decision device. This is an unfavorable result that should be reduced to the most minimal amount possible. Error rates from intersymbol interference are minimized through the use of adaptive equalization techniques and error correcting codes. Multipath Propagation Multipath propagation causes intersymbol interference when a wireless signal being transmitted reaches a receiver through different paths. This commonly occurs when reflected signals bounce off of surfaces, when the wireless signal refracts through obstacles, and because of atmospheric conditions. These paths have different lengths before reaching the receiver, thus creating different versions that reach at different time intervals. The delay in symbol transmission will interfere with correct symbol detection. The amplitude and or phase of the signal can be distorted when the different paths are received for additional interference. Bandlimited Channels A bandlimited channel is cut off past certain frequency ranges. This results in a zero response when the signal is below or above the frequency range that the receiver allows. Whenever thissignal type goes out of range, frequency components that are removed are then an incomplete signal. The channel with missing information, therefore, cannot use the attenuated frequency. This occurs because the receiver’s filtration collects the pulse’s shape differently.
