In TETRA specifications, one of the modulation technique used is Differential 8 Phase Shift Keying (D8PSK). We will discuss the bit error rate with non-coherent demodulation of D8PSK in Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel.
In typical digital signal processing applications, there arises need to increase the sampling frequency of a signal sequence, where the higher sampling frequency is an integer multiple of the original sampling frequency i.e for a signal sequence with a sampling frequency , change the sampling frequency to , where is an integer.
This is the second post in the series aimed at developing a better understanding of Shannon’s capacity equation. In this post let us discuss the bounds on communication given the signal power and bandwidth constraint. Further, the following writeup is based on Section 12.6 from Fundamentals of Communication Systems by John G. Proakis, Masoud Salehi
After almost 6 months with the Smashing Theme template, its time for a change. Recently I stumbled upon the Deep Blue template from DailyBlogTips. I liked the clean blue-green-white combination and and felt it might be a good fit for www.dsplog.com. Hope you agree. One key feature which I like is addition of tag cloud…
In previous posts, we have discussed convolutional codes with Viterbi decoding (hard decision, soft decision and with finite traceback). Let us know discuss a block coding scheme where a group of information bits is mapped into coded bits. Such codes are referred to as codes. We will restrict the discussion to Hamming codes, where 4…
Typical communication systems use I-Q modulation and we had discussed the need for I-Q modulation in the past. In this post, let us understand I-Q imbalance and its effect on transmit signal.
Question 39 on communication from GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) 2012 Electronics and Communication Engineering paper. Q39. The signal as shown is applied both to a phase modulator (with as the phase constant) and a frequency modulator (with as the frequency constant) having the same carrier frequency. The ratio for the same maximum phase deviation is,…
We have quite a few articles discussing bit and symbol error rates for popular digital modulation schemes in Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. This post summarizes the articles discussing the theoretical and simulated error rates for the digital modulation schemes like BPSK, QPSK, 4–PAM, 16PSK and 16QAM. Further, Bit Error Rate with Gray coded…
Considering a typical scenario where there might exist a small phase offset between local oscillator between the transmitter and receiver. Figure 1 : Transmitter receiver with constant phase offset In such cases, it might be desirable to estimate and track the phase offset such that the performance of the receiver does not degrade.
Quick check of on Blogspot, thanks to the information provided here. Good ! It works…would like to have a better formatting though. Anyhow this will do for now.
Question 7 on digital from GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) 2012 Electronics and Communication Engineering paper. Q7. The output Y of a 2-bit comparator is logic 1 whenever the 2 bit input A is greater than 2 bit input B. The number of combinations for which output is logic 1 is (A) 4 (B)…
Two points suffice for drawing a straight line. However we may be presented with a set of data points (more than two?) presumably forming a straight line. How can one use the available set of data points to draw a straight line? A probable approach is to draw a straight line which hopefully minimizes the…
Coding is a technique where redundancy is added to original bit sequence to increase the reliability of the communication. Lets discuss a simple binary convolutional coding scheme at the transmitter and the associated Viterbi (maximum likelihood) decoding scheme at the receiver. Update: For some reason, the blog is unable to display the article which discuss…
