BER performance of DQPSK in Nakagami fading with selection diversity and maximal-ratio combining

A new expression for the average bit-error rate (BER) of differential quadrature phase-shift keying in slow frequency-nonselective Nakagami fading is derived for a space-diversity receiver having a cascade arrangement of L groups of M-branch selection combiners and an L-branch maximal-ratio combiner (MRC). This allows the use of a large number of antennas, for performance improvement, and a small number of M inputs to the combiners, for low complexity. The average BER performance of the cascade receiver is investigated for different fading severity conditions characterized by the Nakagami m factor, and compared with the conventional MRC receiver. As the fading gets less severe (m increases), performance improvement over the conventional MRC scheme is only noticeable for the larger range of average signal-to-noise ratio.

Simple coherent receivers for partial response continuous phasemodulation

By using a pulse-amplitude-modulation representation of binary continuous-phase-modulation signals, the authors develops a novel optimum Viterbi sequence detector and a near-optimum Viterbi receiver with low complexity. For modulation index 0.5, where a linear receiver can be used, a minimum-mean-squared-error linear receiver filter is derived. The performance of all of these is analyzed, using the Gaussian minimum-shift-keying signal (GMSK) for illustration. It is shown that a GMSK receiver consisting of two matched filters and a four-state Viterbi algorithm performs with less than 0.24-dB degradation compared with the optimal receiver. The linear receiver is optimum for all values of E _b/N₀ (bit-energy-to-noise one-sided spectral density ratio). A design method for its filter is given. The filter is equivalent to a cascade of a matched filter and a Wiener filter estimator. Both upper and lower bounds for the bit-error probability are calculated. Simulation results which confirm the analysis are given     

A differentially coherent receiver for minimum shift keying signal

The author extends to the case of minimum-shift-keying (MSK) modulation the differentially coherent reception theory established for phase-shift-keying modulation. A novel differentially coherent detector for MSK is thus derived. The receiver filter is equivalent to the cascade of a matched filter and an equalizer in order to suppress inherent intersymbol interference. It is shown that performance can be improved when the delay between signals, multiplied by the differential detector, is increased from one to M bit time intervals. This decreases the effect of noise correlation and, thus, the bit error probability. The bit error probability of the proposed receiver is calculated. It is found that almost all potential improvement due to the delay M is obtained with M=3     

Receiver channel with resonance-based timing detection for a laser range finder

An integrated receiver channel for a pulsed time-of-flight laser range finder is presented. The receiver operates in a wide dynamic range without gain control. This is achieved by converting the received unipolar pulse to a bipolar waveform already after the optical detector before the signal is fed to amplifier blocks. Thus the nonlinearities of the amplifiers have the minimum effect on the timing point, which is located in the zero crossing of the bipolar pulse. A parallel resonant circuit is used to shape the pulse in the input of the channel, which consists of a cascade of limiting voltage amplifiers followed by a comparator. The measurements show that the receiver has a walk error of 74 ps in the dynamic range of 1:1280. This corresponds to 11 mm in distance. The minimum usable input signal is limited by the noise of the receiver and equals 1.9 /spl mu/A.

Differentially coherent detection of binary partial responsecontinuous phase modulation with index 0.5

The performance of binary partial response continuous phase modulation (with index 0.5) using a differentially coherent receiver depends on the choice of the receiver filter. An optimum MMSE design method for this filter is presented. The receiver filter is equivalent to the cascade of a matched filter and an equalizer in order to reduce inherent intersymbol interference (ISI). It is shown that performance degradation with respect to that of the differential binary phase shift keying (BPSK) system is due to inherent ISI contained in the signal and also to noise enhancement and correlation caused by the receiver filter. The bit error probability on the Gaussian channel is calculated by assuming that ISI is Gaussian. The Gaussian minimum shift keying (MSK) signal is used for illustration

Submillimeter-wave heterodyne spectroscopy with a compact solid state radiometer

A compact, solid state submillimeter-wave heterodyne radiometer has been developed and was used to measure spectral characteristics of a water vapor jet in a space simulation chamber. Features of the 557 GHz water vapor line profile were observed in significantly greater detail than in previous experiments through an increased sensitivity and improved frequency resolution (600 kHz). The local oscillator of the radiometer consisted of a frequency multiplication chain which was driven by an InP Gunn oscillator at 92.6 GHz, and which contained a frequency tripler and harmonic mixer in cascade. The front end of the receiver had a noise temperature of 4500 K (DSB) at 555 GHz, consumed 3 W and weighed 3 kg. This advance in technology is particularly relevant to submillimeter-wave radiometry from a space-based platform.     

Performance failure analysis of EDFA cascades in optical DWDM packet-switched networks

A simple and comprehensive technique to determine the probability that a cascade of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) may be driven into unacceptable regimes of bit error rate (BER) and/or gain levels is presented. This technique allows network designers to determine the tolerances by which the signal power levels may deviate from their predesigned average values and still give acceptable gain variances and BERs at the receiver. We show that even in the signal power range well above the receiver sensitivities (-38 dBm/ch) where the gain spread is not significant, the corresponding spread in BER due to random arrival of packets might result in unacceptable performance. We show for typical levels of operation, the BER temporarily (for about 3 /spl mu/s) deviates to below 10/sup -9/ (10/sup -15/) with a probability of 10/sup -3/ (10/sup -2/), for 100 (64) channels. We show that the gain spread for a single EDFA can be negligible for a range of signal and pump powers at a given average gain.

Error probabilities due to atmospheric noise in practical m-c.p.s.k. and ideal f.s.k. receivers

An improved Cheby?shev approximative analytical expression for the probability distribution of the normalised envelope of atmospheric noise (a.n.) in narrowband receiver is presented. A new probabilistic interpretation of the derived expression is given, and the error probabilities for the m-c.p.s.k. receiver with finite-width decision threshold and an ideal f.s.k. receiver are calculated. The expressions obtained are explicit and they represent the weighted sum of the error probabilities due to Gaussian noises of different noise powers.     

A spread-spectrum multiaccess system with cochannel interferencecancellation for multipath fading channels

The authors propose and analyze a direct-sequence spread-spectrum multiaccess (DS/SSMA) receiver that employs a cascade of cochannel interference (CCl) cancellers for communication over multipath fading channels. The receiver first coherently demodulates and despreads the received signal to produce correlator outputs and initial data estimates. Based on these estimates, the cancellation scheme essentially creates replicas of the contributions of the CCl embedded in the correlator outputs and removes them for a second improved hard data decision. By repeating this operation over and over, a cascade of CCl cancellers is derived. Through theoretical analysis and simulation, the authors investigate the canceller's bit error rate (BER) performance in both the absence and presence of errors in the amplitude and phase estimates of each user's received signal. Numerical results show the considerably large improvement in performance that can be attained by the cancellation scheme, even under partially degraded estimates
