  • 3 Characterization of Communication Signals and Systems
    63 3 Characterization of Communication Signals and Systems 3.1 Representation of Bandpass Signals and Systems Narrowband communication signals are often transmitted using some type of carrier modulation. The resulting transmit signal s(t) has passband character, i.e., the bandwidth B of its spectrum S(f) = s(t) is much smaller F{ } than the carrier frequency fc. S(f) B f f f − c c We are interested in a representation for s(t) that is independent of the carrier frequency fc. This will lead us to the so–called equiv- alent (complex) baseband representation of signals and systems. Schober: Signal Detection and Estimation 64 3.1.1 Equivalent Complex Baseband Representation of Band- pass Signals Given: Real–valued bandpass signal s(t) with spectrum S(f) = s(t) F{ } Analytic Signal s+(t) In our quest to find the equivalent baseband representation of s(t), we first suppress all negative frequencies in S(f), since S(f) = S( f) is valid. − The spectrum S+(f) of the resulting so–called analytic signal s+(t) is defined as S (f) = s (t) =2 u(f)S(f), + F{ + } where u(f) is the unit step function 0, f < 0 u(f) = 1/2, f =0 . 1, f > 0 u(f) 1 1/2 f Schober: Signal Detection and Estimation 65 The analytic signal can be expressed as 1 s+(t) = − S+(f) F 1{ } = − 2 u(f)S(f) F 1{ } 1 = − 2 u(f) − S(f) F { } ∗ F { } 1 The inverse Fourier transform of − 2 u(f) is given by F { } 1 j − 2 u(f) = δ(t) + .

  • 2 the Wireless Channel
    CHAPTER 2 The wireless channel A good understanding of the wireless channel, its key physical parameters and the modeling issues, lays the foundation for the rest of the book. This is the goal of this chapter. A defining characteristic of the mobile wireless channel is the variations of the channel strength over time and over frequency. The variations can be roughly divided into two types (Figure 2.1): • Large-scale fading, due to path loss of signal as a function of distance and shadowing by large objects such as buildings and hills. This occurs as the mobile moves through a distance of the order of the cell size, and is typically frequency independent. • Small-scale fading, due to the constructive and destructive interference of the multiple signal paths between the transmitter and receiver. This occurs at the spatialscaleoftheorderofthecarrierwavelength,andisfrequencydependent. We will talk about both types of fading in this chapter, but with more emphasis on the latter. Large-scale fading is more relevant to issues such as cell-site planning. Small-scale multipath fading is more relevant to the design of reliable and efficient communication systems – the focus of this book. We start with the physical modeling of the wireless channel in terms of elec- tromagnetic waves. We then derive an input/output linear time-varying model for the channel, and define some important physical parameters. Finally, we introduce a few statistical models of the channel variation over time and over frequency. 2.1 Physical modeling for wireless channels Wireless channels operate through electromagnetic radiation from the trans- mitter to the receiver.

  • Classic Filters There Are 4 Classic Analogue Filter Types: Butterworth, Chebyshev, Elliptic and Bessel. There Is No Ideal Filter
    Classic Filters There are 4 classic analogue filter types: Butterworth, Chebyshev, Elliptic and Bessel. There is no ideal filter; each filter is good in some areas but poor in others. • Butterworth: Flattest pass-band but a poor roll-off rate. • Chebyshev: Some pass-band ripple but a better (steeper) roll-off rate. • Elliptic: Some pass- and stop-band ripple but with the steepest roll-off rate. • Bessel: Worst roll-off rate of all four filters but the best phase response. Filters with a poor phase response will react poorly to a change in signal level. Butterworth The first, and probably best-known filter approximation is the Butterworth or maximally-flat response. It exhibits a nearly flat passband with no ripple. The rolloff is smooth and monotonic, with a low-pass or high- pass rolloff rate of 20 dB/decade (6 dB/octave) for every pole. Thus, a 5th-order Butterworth low-pass filter would have an attenuation rate of 100 dB for every factor of ten increase in frequency beyond the cutoff frequency. It has a reasonably good phase response. Figure 1 Butterworth Filter Chebyshev The Chebyshev response is a mathematical strategy for achieving a faster roll-off by allowing ripple in the frequency response. As the ripple increases (bad), the roll-off becomes sharper (good). The Chebyshev response is an optimal trade-off between these two parameters. Chebyshev filters where the ripple is only allowed in the passband are called type 1 filters. Chebyshev filters that have ripple only in the stopband are called type 2 filters , but are are seldom used.

  • Performance Evaluation of Power-Line Communication Systems for LIN-Bus Based Data Transmission
    electronics Article Performance Evaluation of Power-Line Communication Systems for LIN-Bus Based Data Transmission Martin Brandl * and Karlheinz Kellner Department of Integrated Sensor Systems, Danube University, 3500 Krems, Austria; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +43-2732-893-2790 Abstract: Powerline communication (PLC) is a versatile method that uses existing infrastructure such as power cables for data transmission. This makes PLC an alternative and cost-effective technology for the transmission of sensor and actuator data by making dual use of the power line and avoiding the need for other communication solutions; such as wireless radio frequency communication. A PLC modem using DSSS (direct sequence spread spectrum) for reliable LIN-bus based data transmission has been developed for automotive applications. Due to the almost complete system implementation in a low power microcontroller; the component cost could be radically reduced which is a necessary requirement for automotive applications. For performance evaluation the DSSS modem was compared to two commercial PLC systems. The DSSS and one of the commercial PLC systems were designed as a direct conversion receiver; the other commercial module uses a superheterodyne architecture. The performance of the systems was tested under the influence of narrowband interference and additive Gaussian noise added to the transmission channel. It was found that the performance of the DSSS modem against singleton interference is better than that of commercial PLC transceivers by at least the processing gain. The performance of the DSSS modem was at least 6 dB better than the other modules tested under the influence of the additive white Gaussian noise on the transmission channel at data rates of 19.2 kB/s.

Need for Feedback: • Distortion should be avoided as far as possible. • Gain must be independent of external factors. Concept of Feedback: Block diagram of feedback amplifier consist of a basic amplifier, a mixer (or) comparator, a sampler, and a feedback network.

This type of feedback is said to be positive or regenerative feedback. Xi=Xs+Xf Af = = = Af= Here Loop Gain: The product of open loop gain and the feedback factor is called loop gain.

  • Unit I Microwave Transmission Lines
    UNIT I MICROWAVE TRANSMISSION LINES INTRODUCTION Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with wavelengths ranging from 1 mm to 1 m, or frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz. Apparatus and techniques may be described qualitatively as "microwave" when the wavelengths of signals are roughly the same as the dimensions of the equipment, so that lumped-element circuit theory is inaccurate. As a consequence, practical microwave technique tends to move away from the discrete resistors, capacitors, and inductors used with lower frequency radio waves. Instead, distributed circuit elements and transmission-line theory are more useful methods for design, analysis. Open-wire and coaxial transmission lines give way to waveguides, and lumped-element tuned circuits are replaced by cavity resonators or resonant lines. Effects of reflection, polarization, scattering, diffraction, and atmospheric absorption usually associated with visible light are of practical significance in the study of microwave propagation. The same equations of electromagnetic theory apply at all frequencies. While the name may suggest a micrometer wavelength, it is better understood as indicating wavelengths very much smaller than those used in radio broadcasting. The boundaries between far infrared light, terahertz radiation, microwaves, and ultra-high-frequency radio waves are fairly arbitrary and are used variously between different fields of study. The term microwave generally refers to "alternating current signals with frequencies between 300 MHz (3×108 Hz) and 300 GHz (3×1011 Hz)."[1] Both IEC standard 60050 and IEEE standard 100 define "microwave" frequencies starting at 1 GHz (30 cm wavelength). Electromagnetic waves longer (lower frequency) than microwaves are called "radio waves". Electromagnetic radiation with shorter wavelengths may be called "millimeter waves", terahertz radiation or even T-rays.

  • Passband Data Transmission I Introduction in Digital Passband
    Passband Data Transmission I References Phase-shift keying Chapter 4.1-4.3, S. Haykin, Communication Systems, Wiley. J.1 Introduction In baseband pulse transmission, a data stream represented in the form of a discrete pulse-amplitude modulated (PAM) signal is transmitted over a low- pass channel. In digital passband transmission, the incoming data stream is modulated onto a carrier with fixed frequency and then transmitted over a band-pass channel. J.2 1 Passband digital transmission allows more efficient use of the allocated RF bandwidth, and flexibility in accommodating different baseband signal formats. Example Mobile Telephone Systems GSM: GMSK modulation is used (a variation of FSK) IS-54: π/4-DQPSK modulation is used (a variation of PSK) J.3 The modulation process making the transmission possible involves switching (keying) the amplitude, frequency, or phase of a sinusoidal carrier in accordance with the incoming data. There are three basic signaling schemes: Amplitude-shift keying (ASK) Frequency-shift keying (FSK) Phase-shift keying (PSK) J.4 2 ASK PSK FSK J.5 Unlike ASK signals, both PSK and FSK signals have a constant envelope. PSK and FSK are preferred to ASK signals for passband data transmission over nonlinear channel (amplitude nonlinearities) such as micorwave link and satellite channels. J.6 3 Classification of digital modulation techniques Coherent and Noncoherent Digital modulation techniques are classified into coherent and noncoherent techniques, depending on whether the receiver is equipped with a phase- recovery circuit or not. The phase-recovery circuit ensures that the local oscillator in the receiver is synchronized to the incoming carrier wave (in both frequency and phase).

    Electronic filters design tutorial - 3 High pass, low pass and notch passive filters In the first and second part of this tutorial we visited the band pass filters, with lumped and distributed elements. In this third part we will discuss about low-pass, high-pass and notch filters. The approach will be without mathematics, the goal will be to introduce readers to a physical knowledge of filters. People interested in a mathematical analysis will find in the appendix some books on the topic. Fig.2 ∗ The constant K low-pass filter: it was invented in 1922 by George Campbell and the Running the simulation we can see the response meaning of constant K is the expression: of the filter in fig.3 2 ZL* ZC = K = R ZL and ZC are the impedances of inductors and capacitors in the filter, while R is the terminating impedance. A look at fig.1 will be clarifying. Fig.3 It is clear that the sharpness of the response increase as the order of the filter increase. The ripple near the edge of the cutoff moves from Fig 1 monotonic in 3 rd order to ringing of about 1.7 dB for the 9 th order.
