Academic literature on the topic 'QAM modulation'

The thesis focuses on consideration of possible ways how to realize multi-state modulators for a laboratory instrument. This instrument will illustrate signals, which partake on generation QAM modulation. The design of the laboratory instrument includes theoretic schemata and the execution of a prototype. There are theoretical facts of multi-state signals and multi-state modulations in this thesis. A simple block diagram of the laboratory instrument is made by the theory of creating quadrature amplitude modulation. For each block there are made several schemata, which are compiled to the global scheme. A printed circuit board and the structure items are made by the aid of the global scheme. The next part is devoted to a software facility for a used microprocessor, which ensures the whole function of the laboratory instrument. The final section deals with measuring, which checks the function of the modulator and the right setting coder’s constellation diagrams.

Nowadays most of the communications systems are designed considering only to work under AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise). But the implementation of wireless systems in industrial facilities brings different kind of interference from machines or any other kind of electronic devices. Some of them are sources of randomly and high power noise, which commonly is known as impulsive noise. The objective in this thesis is to study the impact of the impulsive noise on a communication using QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) and PSK (Phase-Shift Keying) schemes, by observing the BER (Bit Error Rate) and the APD (Amplitude Probability Distribution). For that, it is developed a measurement method that will be used in a real industrial environment in future work.      The content of this thesis is divided in two parts. In the first part is made a program in MATLAB to simulate the communication through a noisy channel. Then is developed a measurement method which is tested in three different ways corresponding to 3 different outputs of an spectrum analyzer, namely, 20,4 MHz IF output, video output and IQ data output.      The relation of impulsive noise is presented in the second part with different statistical properties in the BER and the APD, in the setup with the best performance. At the end of the thesis a concluding section summarizes the results obtained during the work and some lines of future work in a real industrial environment with the developed method.

In this paper, we first describe a 9-symbol non-uniform signaling scheme based on Huffman code, in which different symbols are transmitted with different probabilities. By using the Huffman procedure, prefix code is designed to approach the optimal performance. Then, we introduce an algorithm to determine the optimal signal constellation sets for our proposed non-uniform scheme with the criterion of maximizing constellation figure of merit (CFM). The proposed nonuniform polarization multiplexed signaling 9-QAM scheme has the same spectral efficiency as the conventional 8-QAM. Additionally, we propose a specially designed GF(32) nonbinary quasi-cyclic LDPC code for the coded modulation system based on the 9-QAM non-uniform scheme. Further, we study the efficiency of our proposed non-uniform 9-QAM, combined with nonbinary LDPC coding, and demonstrate by Monte Carlo simulation that the proposed GF(23) nonbinary LDPC coded 9-QAM scheme outperforms nonbinary LDPC coded uniform 8-QAM by at least 0.8dB.

Al´em disso, s˜ao propostas constelações alternativas para M-QAM, M = 22n, n = {1,2, · · · ,8}, que buscam minimizar a PAPR (peak to average power ratio) quando um sistema OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) ´e utilizado para a transmissão de dados. Uma implementação, de baixo custo e em dispositivo FPGA (field programmable gate array), de um esquema de modulação constante e adaptativa para sistemas OFDM, quando a modulação é MQAM, M = 22n, n = {1,2, · · · ,8}, é descrita e analisada. O desempenho das técnicas de detecção propostas é avaliado através de simulações computacionais quando o ruído é AWGN (additive white Gaussian noise) e AIGN (additive impulsive Gaussian noise). Os resultados em termos de BER × Eb/N0 indicam que as perdas de desempenho geradas com as técnicas propostas não são significativas e, portanto, tais técnicas são candidatas adequadas para a implementação de um sistema OFDM com elevada eficiência espectral. Os resultados computacionais revelam ainda que as propostas alternativas para constelações M-QAM reduzem a PAPR, mas, em contrapartida, degradam consideravelmente a BER. Finalmente, a análise da complexidade computacional das técnicas de detecção e demodulação, as quais foram implementadas em dispositivo FPGA, indica que há uma redução do custo computacional, ou seja, redução do uso de recursos de hardware do dispositivo FPGA quando tais técnicas são implementadas para a demodulação e detecção de símbolos M-QAM de ordem elevada.<br>This dissertation deals with low-cost techniques for detection, modulation and demodulation of high order M-QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) constellations, i.e., M = 2n, n = {2,3, · · · ,16}. In addition, alternative constellations are proposed to M-QAM, M = 22n, n = {1,2, · · · ,8}, which seek to minimize the PAPR (peak to average power ratio) when an OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) system is used for data transmission. A low-cost implementation using a FPGA (field programmable gate array) device of a modulation scheme for constant and adaptive OFDM systems when the modulation is M-QAM, M = 22n, n = {1,2, · · · ,8}, is described and analyzed. The performance of the proposed detection techniques is evaluated through computer simulations when the noise is AWGN (additive white Gaussian noise) and AIGN (additive impulsive Gaussian noise). The results in terms of BER × Eb/N0 indicate that the performance losses generated by the proposed techniques are not significant and, therefore, such techniques are appropriate candidates for the implementation of an OFDM system with high spectral efficiency. The computational results reveal that the alternative proposals for M-QAM constellations reduce the PAPR, but, considerably degrade the BER. Finally, the analysis of computational complexity of detection and demodulation techniques, which were implemented in a FPGA device, indicates that there is a computational cost reduction, i.e., a reduction of resource usage of hardware device such as FPGA when these techniques are implemented for the demodulation and detection of high-order M-QAM symbols.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 21, 2002 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California<br>A series of RF channel flight characterization tests were recently run to benchmark multi-path performance of high-speed quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) over the ocean surface. The modulation format was differential-phase/absolute-amplitude two level polar 16 QAM. The bit rate was 100 Megabits per second with a symbol period of 40nS. An aircraft radiated the test signal at 5 different altitudes. It made two inward flights, on two different days, at each altitude with vertical and horizontal polarization, respectively. Receivers, using circular antenna polarization, were in two different locations. Analysis of the resulting data shows flat fading and frequency selective fading effects.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.<br>Trellis-Coded Modulation (TCM) is employed with quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) to provide error correction coding with no expense in bandwidth. There are two common implementations of TCM, namely pragmatic TCM and Ungerboeck TCM. Both schemes employ Viterbi algorithms for decoding but have different code construction. This thesis investigates and compares the performance of pragmatic TCM and Ungerboeck TCM by implementing the Viterbi decoding algorithm for both schemes with 16-QAM and 64-QAM. Both pragmatic and Ungerboeck TCM with six memory elements are considered. Simulations were carried out for both pragmatic and Ungerboeck TCM to evaluate their respective performance. The simulations were done using Matlab software, and an additive white Gaussian noise channel was assumed. The objective was to ascertain that pragmatic TCM, with its reduced-complexity decoding, is more suitable to adaptive modulation than Ungerboeck TCM.<br>Civilian

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 30-November 02, 1995 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada<br>The national telemetry ranges are being pushed to provide higher data rate telemetry services by users with increasingly complex test procedure for increasingly complex weapon systems. At the same time they are having trouble obtaining more spectrum in which to provide these higher rates because of the demand for spectrum in SHF range from various mobile/cellular Personal Communications Services (PCS) as well as congress’s desire to auction spectrum and to transfer as much spectrum as possible to commercial uses. In light of these pressures the industry is in need of a modulation standard that will out perform the existing PCM/FM standard. The motivation for the present review and analysis of the performance of various coded/uncoded modulation schemes arises from this issue. Comparison of the performance of these schemes will be utilized in the following work to find a suitable solution to the existing problem.

The main objectives of Integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry (iNET) are increased data rate and improved spectral efficiency. In this paper we propose the transmission scheme for the physical layer to be coded Quadrature Amplitude Modulation-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (QAM OFDM) which enables high data rates and spectrum efficiency. However in high mobility scenarios, the channel is time-varying the receiver design is more challenging. In this paper pilot-assisted channel estimation is used at the receiver, with turbo coding to enhance the performance; while the effect of inter symbol interference (ISI) is mitigated by cyclic prefix. The focus of this paper is to evaluate the performance of OFDM with QAM over an aeronautical channel. The M-QAM with OFDM provides a higher data rate than QPSK hence it is chosen in this paper. The implementation is done using Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) and the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). This paper considers how the performance of Coded QAM OFDM can be enhanced using equalization to compensate for inter symbol interference, and using turbo coding for error correction.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 26-29, 1998 / Town & Country Resort Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California<br>Remote, high speed, high explosive wave front monitoring requires very high bandwidth telemetry to allow transmission of diagnostic data before the explosion destroys the sensor system itself. The main motivation for this study is that no known existing implementation of this sort has been applied to realistic weapons environments. These facts have prompted the research and gathering of data that can be used to extrapolate towards finding the best modulation method for this application. In addition to research of similar existing analysis and testing operations, data was recently captured from a Joint Test Assembly (JTA) Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM) flight.
