Error propagation in polarimetric demodulation.

چکیده
The polarization analysis of light is typically carried out using modulation schemes. The light of an unknown polarization state is passed through a set of known modulation optics, and a detector is used to measure the total intensity passing the system. The modulation optics is modified several times, and, with the aid of several such measurements, the unknown polarization state of the light can be inferred. How to find the optimal demodulation process has been investigated in the past. However, since the modulation matrix has to be measured for a given instrument and the optical elements can present problems of repeatability, some uncertainty is present in the elements of the modulation matrix or covariances between these elements. We analyze in detail this issue, presenting analytical formulas for calculating the covariance matrix produced by the propagation of such uncertainties on the demodulation matrix, on the inferred Stokes parameters, and on the efficiency of the modulation process. We demonstrate that even if the covariance matrix of the modulation matrix is diagonal, the covariance matrix of the demodulation matrix is in general nondiagonal because matrix inversion is a nonlinear operation. This propagates through the demodulation process and induces correlations on the inferred Stokes parameters.

Relay selection for DF-based cooperative vehicular systems
In this paper, error performance analysis of decode-and-forward (DF)-based cooperative vehicular networks with relay selection is investigated. All of the links in the system are modeled as cascaded Nakagami-m distributed random variables which provide a realistic description of an intervehicular channel. We employ virtual-noise (VN)-based demodulation, maximum likelihood (ML) demodulation, coo...
متن کاملIterative Demodulation of M-Ary Orthogonal Signaling Formats in Coded DS-CDMA Systems with Soft Interference Cancellation and Channel Estimation
The system under study is a convolutionally coded and orthogonally modulated DS-CDMA system over timevarying frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels in multiuser environments. Iterative soft demodulation and decoding using the Turbo principle can be applied to such a system to increase the system capacity and performance. To combat multiple access interference (MAI), we incorporate the int...
متن کاملEigendecomposition-Based Partial FFT Demodulation for Differential OFDM in Underwater Acoustic Communications
Differential orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is practically attractive for underwater acoustic communications since it has the potential to obviate channel estimation. However, similar to coherent OFDM, it may suffer from severe inter-carrier interference over time-varying channels. To alleviate the induced performance degradation, we adopt the newly-emerging partial FFT demod...
متن کاملMMFSK-EOD System Using Binary Hopping Pattern in FH/SS Communications
In this paper a detailed explanation of our newly proposed frequency hopped spread spectrum system named “MMFSK-EOD System Using Binary Hopping Pattern” (8) is presented. First, to make clear the concept of FH/M-ary Multilevel FSK modulation (abb. FH/ MMFSK or MMFSK), the waveform and the spectrum differences between MFSK and FH/MFSK or FH/MMFSK are reviewed. Next, to understand the error propa...
متن کاملAsynchronous near-far resistant DS-CDMA receivers without a priori synchronization
In this paper, several receivers for data demodulation in an asynchronous direct-sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) system operating without prior knowledge of the propagation delays are proposed and compared. Special attention is paid to the near-far problem, and the proposed schemes are numerically shown to be near-far robust. The near-far robustness is obtained by estimating th...
