Codierte Modulation in modernen Übertragungssystemen

Modern communication systems offer high speed and reliable data transmission services. The quality of these services is achieved by combining coded multi-level modulation techniques and modern digital signal processing (Viterbi-decoding) in the receiver. In this paper we first present an introduction to Trellis Coded Modulation (TCM) and then some new results on unversal techniques adapted for the AWGN-channel as well as for the fading channel. It is shown that TCM is well suited for communication channels with time variant characteristics (e.g. mobile communication channels), especially when our new codes are applied.     

Zur Bestimmung der Einflußbereiche bei Beeinflussungsuntersuchungen

This paper deals with the global basis of evaluation in different cases of electrical interference due to Austrian standards. Conditions are explained to harmonize standards in case of inductive interference, electrostatic influence and resistive interference in connection to probability factors. Relevant notions as zone of exposure, area of protection and restricted area are explained to create optimal strategies of planning.

Entwurf nichtrekursiver Digitalfilter mit beliebigen Betrags- und Phasengängen

This paper presents an efficient multiple exchange algorithm for the frequency domain design of digital FIR filters with arbitrary magnitude and phase responses. The designed filters minimize theL ₂ norm of the weighted complex frequency domain error function subject to constraints on the resulting magnitude and phase errors. This general design criterion allows for an arbitrary trade-off between complexL ₂ approximation and Chebyshev approximation of given magnitude and phase responses. The optimization can be carried out by iteratively solving small quadratic programs. These linearly constrained subproblems can be solved using robust standard software.     

Magnetoresistive Sensoren

Depending on the angle between magnetization and current density in a thin permalloy film, the anisotropic magnetoresistive effect is utilized for high performance sensors. Both the parameters of the sputtering process and the sensor layout have to be optimized. Aiming a magnetic field resolution of some nT in a frequencey range from 0–1 kHz, the results of Wheatston-bridge circuits are discussed.
