    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.

    MIMO Systems and Transmit Diversity 1 Introduction 2 MIMO Capacity Analysis

    MIMO Systems and Transmit Diversity 1 Introduction So far we have investigated the use of antenna arrays in interference cancellation and for receive diversity. This final chapter takes a broad view of the use of antenna arrays in wireless communi- cations. In particular, we will investigate the capacity of systems using multiple transmit and/or multiple receive antennas. This provides a fundamental limit on the data throughput in multiple- input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. We will also develop the use of transmit diversity, i.e., the use of multiple transmit antennas to achieve reliability (just as earlier we used multiple receive antennas to achieve reliability via receive diversity). The basis for receive diversity is that each element in the receive array receives an independent copy of the same signal. The probability that all signals are in deep fade simultaneously is then significantly reduced. In modelling a wireless communication system one can imagine that this capability would be very useful on transmit as well. This is especially true because, at least in the near term, the growth in wireless communications will be asymmetric internet traffic. A lot more data would be flowing from the base station to the mobile device that is, say, asking for a webpage, but is receiving all the multimedia in that webpage. Due to space considerations, it is more likely that the base station antenna comprises multiple elements while the mobile device has only one or two. In addition to providing diversity, intuitively having multiple transmit/receive antennas should allow us to transmit data faster, i.e., increase data throughput.

    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.

    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.
