A compact spectrum constant envelope digital phase modulation

Abstract: A digital modulation system with compact spectrum and constant envelope is proposed, based on the results of theoretical and experimental studies. This modulation system is suitable for digital mobile communication, which generally is subject to deep and rapid fading. It is characterized with a possibility of practical and stable instrumentation. In the modulator, modulation signal parameters are read out of the memories, by which precise spectrum and waveform can be realized. For the modulator, an orthogonal phase modulation, whose parameters are stable, can be adopted by pertinent parameter design for the modulating signal stored in the memories. The experimental results agree well with the design.

Laboratory experimental results of an adaptive modulation/TDMA/TDD for wireless multimedia communication systems

Abstract: This paper reports laboratory experimental results of a time division multiple access/time division duplex (TDMA/TDD) based adaptive modulation system to verify feasibility and its usefulness for future wireless multimedia communication systems. The developed system employs a symbol rate and modulation level controlled adaptive modulation in which the modulation scheme is selected from full-rate 64-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (64 QAM), full-rate 16 QAM, full-rate quaternary phase shift keying (QPSK), 1/2-rate QPSK, 1/4-rate QPSK, 1/8-rate QPSK and no transmission according to the expected channel condition for the transmitted signal. The experimental results confirm that the developed system is very effective in achieving high quality and high bit rate transmission of around 1 Mbit/s without any special anti-frequency selective fading techniques even under frequency selective fading conditions with its d delay spread of less than 250 ns and f/sub d/ of less than 10 Hz.

Analysis and Implementation of Multiphase Multilevel Hybrid Single Carrier Sinusoidal Modulation

Abstract: This paper proposes a hybrid single carrier sinusoidal modulation suitable for multiphase multilevel inverters. Multiphase multilevel inverters are controlled by hybrid modulation to provide multiphase variable voltage and a variable frequency supply. The proposed modulation combines the benefits of fundamental frequency modulation and single carrier sinusoidal modulation (SC-SPWM) strategies. The main characteristics of hybrid modulation are a reduction in switching losses and improved harmonic performance. The proposed algorithm can be applied to cascaded multilevel inverter topologies. It has low computational complexity and it is suitable for hardware implementations. SC-SPWM and its base modulation design are implemented on a TMS320F2407 digital signal processor (DSP). A Complex Programmable Logic Device realizes the hybrid PWM algorithm and it is integrated with a DSP processor for hybrid SC-SPWM generation. The feasibility of this hybrid modulation is verified by spectral analysis, power loss analysis, simulation and experimental results.

NMR phase encoding using phase varying rf pulses

Abstract: The phase encoding of NMR information is performed using rf pulse sequences. The rf pulse sequences produce a substantially continuous phase variation cross the resonant frequency range of the atoms of an object in order to perform phase encoding. Some of the pulses may be tailored pulses, with each tailored rf pulse including frequencies which cover a bounded continuous frequency range. Either the phase or the amplitude of each tailored rf pulse varies with frequency across this continuous range. If the amplitude is linearly variant across the range, the phase is constant, but if the phase is linearly variant across the range, the amplitude is constant. The tailored rf pulses may be applied in the presence of pulsed magnetic gradient fields of the conventional type to produce the phase variation. Alternatively, rf pulses may be applied through rf field gradient coils providing a spatial variation which permits may in either case be included in a sequence of pulses which also performs excitation of atoms in an object being imaged.

Zero Crossing Modulation for Communication with Temporally Oversampled 1-Bit Quantization

Abstract: Today’s communication systems typically use high resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). However, considering future communication systems with data rates in the order of 100Gbit/s the ADC power consumption becomes a major factor due to the high sampling rates. A promising alternative are receivers based on 1-bit quantization and oversampling w.r.t. the signal bandwidth. Such an approach requires a redesign of modulation, receiver synchronization, and demapping. A zero crossing modulation is a natural choice as the information needs to be carried in the zero crossing time instants. The present paper provides an overview on zero crossing modulation, achievable rates, sequence mapping and demapping, 1-bit based channel parameter estimation, and continuous phase modulation as an alternative zero crossing modulation scheme.
