The Florida Department of Transportation supported this study with funding and guidance. This work supported in part by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency under contract HR0011-15-C-0098. This study was conducted under Dr. Brian Kopp, who was a wealth of knowledge and information in the RF and Communication fields and helped orient efforts in the most effective way possible — and whose patience is nothing short of a saint. Moreover, Dr. O. Patrick Kreidl, Dr. Juan Aceros, Dr. Adel El Safty, and Dr. Nick Hudyma were all tremendously supportive and charitable with their knowledge and wisdom — Dr. Kreidl and Dr. Aceros for their expertise in electrical engineering topics, and Dr. El Safty and Dr. Hudyma for their expertise in civil engineering topics. Moreover, UNF alumni Marshall Banks, Nick Telmosse, and Juan March were extraordinarily helpful with their mechanical knowledge and CNC skills. Moreover, Jean Loos was overwhelmingly kind with her time and patience in her role as the head of the UNF Fabrication Lab, helping with foolish fabrication mistakes and advising how to correct them. Moreover, Clifford Poppell was also overwhelmingly kind with his time and patience as a Teaching Lab Specialist and overall Jack of all trades. Lastly, this project would not have been possible without Dr. Murat Tiryakioglu and all of his outstanding work as the previous director of the University of North Florida College of Computing, Engineering, and Construction. 3 Table of Contents Certificate of Approval .............................................................................................................. 2

  • Efficient Multi-Carrier Communication on the Digital Subscriber Loop
    Efficient Multi-Carrier Communication on the Digital Subscriber Loop Donnacha Daly Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Faculty of Engineering and Architecture University College Dublin National University of Ireland A thesis presented to the National University of Ireland Faculty of Engineering and Architecture in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2003 Research Supervisors: Dr. C. Heneghan Prof. A. D. Fagan Head of Department: Prof. T. Brazil Abstract This thesis explores three distinct philosophies for improving the efficiency of multi-carrier com- munication on the digital subscriber loop. The first topic discussed is impulse response shortening for discrete multitone transceivers. The minimum mean-squared error impulse response shortener is reformulated to allow near-optimal rate performance. It is demonstrated that the best existing eigen-filter designed channel shortener is a particular case of the proposed reformulation. An adap- tive time-domain LMS algorithm is provided as an alternative to eigen-decomposition. The next part of the thesis examines bit- and power- loading algorithms for multitone systems. The problem of rate-optimal loading has already been solved. It is shown, however, that the rate-optimal solu- tion does not give best value for complexity, and that near optimal schemes can perform very well at a fraction of the computational cost. The final section of the thesis is a brief exposition of the use of wavelet packets to achieve multi-carrier communication. It is proposed that the non-uniform spectral decomposition afforded by wavelet packet modulation allows reduced inter-symbol inter- ference effects in a dispersive channel.

I know that these conferences have served as a sounding board for technical ideas. Some have become standards and accepted by the mainstream. Amateur packet radio is certainly an example of amateurs contributing to the state-of-the-art. The League is now faced with increasing difficulty justifying our precious spectrum. It doesn’t at all reflect poorly on amateurs. The problem is that commercial services are seeking spectrum, on a shared basis if necessary, when they can’t get exclusive allocations. If you’d asked me earlier this year if extensive amateur use of a band would protect it against encroachment, I would have said “yes.” You will remember the saying, “Use it or lose it.” Well, we certainly can lose a band by not using it.

Brief Description The CMX865A is a multi-standard modem for use in Wireless Local Loop, Short Message Service telephone based information and telemetry systems. Flexible line driver, hybrid and receiver circuits are integrated on chip, requiring only passive external components to build a 2 or 4-wire line interface. A high-quality DTMF decoder with excellent immunity to falsing on voice and a standard DTMF encoder are included. Alternatively, these blocks can be used to transmit and detect user-specific, programmed single and dual-tone signals, simple melodies, call progress signals or modem calling and answering tones. Host control and data transfer is via a high-speed serial bus that operates in normal and Powersave modes and which is compatible with most simple types of µC serial interface. An embedded USART allows multi-format asynchronous data and unformatted synchronous data to be received or transmitted as 8-bit bytes. The CMX865A operates from a single 3.0V to 3.6V supply over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is available in 16-pin SOIC (D4) and 16-pin TSSOP (E4) packages.

  • Frequency Shift Keying (Simple)
    Frequency Shift Keying (simple) Frequency Shift Keying is a concept that identifies a set of methods that can be used for the transmission of digital Binary data. There are a number of Frequency Shift Key methods and related technologies. Here we are only addressing two of those transmission methods. The first shares the same name as the overall concept, Frequency Shift Keying, but in this case is a specific type of transmission method. The second method addressed is Audio Frequency Shift Keying. Frequency-shift keying (FSK) is a method of transmitting digital signals. The two binary states, logic 0 (low) and 1 (high), are each represented by an analog waveform . Logic 0 is represented by a wave at a specific frequency , and logic 1 is represented by a wave at a different frequency. A modem converts the binary data from a computer to FSK for transmission over telephone lines, cables, optical fiber , or wireless media. The modem also converts incoming FSK signals to digital low and high states, which the computer can "understand." Audio FSK Audio frequency-shift keying (AFSK) is a modulation technique by which digital data is represented by changes in the frequency (pitch) of an audio tone, yielding an encoded signal suitable for transmission via radio or telephone. Normally, the transmitted audio alternates between two tones: one, the "mark", represents a binary one; the other, the "space", represents a binary zero. AFSK differs from regular frequency-shift keying in performing the modulation at baseband frequencies. In radio applications, the AFSK-modulated signal normally is being used to modulate an RF carrier (using a conventional technique, such as AM or FM) for transmission.
