Direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) receiver using both decision feedback (DFB) and twosided transversal filters for combatting narrowband interference (NBI) is proposed. The receiver is made up of two branches. In the first branch, the conventional demodulator is followed by a DFB filter, while in the second auxiliary branch, a demodulator with the carrier in quadrature is followed by a two...

-Support Vector Machines (SVMs) map inputs vectors nonlinearly into a high dimensional feature space and construct the optimum separating hyperplane in space to realize signal classification. Automatic classification of digital modulation signals plays an important role in communication applications such as an intelligent demodulator, interference identification and monitoring, so many investig...

A novel approach to the design of efficient digital quadrature demodulators for wide bandwidth SAR systems is described. Efficiency is obtained by setting the intermediate frequency to 1/4 the ADC sampling frequency. One channel is made filterfree by synchronizing the local oscillator with the output decimator. The filter required by the other channel is optimized through global search using th...

Design and experimental validation of a simple photonic phase-lockedloop (PPLL) linear phase demodulator employing a novel attenuating counter propagating (ACP) in-loop phase modulator are presented. The ACP in-loop phase modulator is free of propagation delay, allowing stable operation of the PPLL with large gain. Highly linear optical phase demodulation was observed and the measured spurious ...

E sridhar,gxu,cavallar F @rice.edu ABSTRACT Proposed algorithms for Third Generation W-CDMA communication systems have extremely high performance requirements. In this paper, we study the implementation issues involved for one of the proposed multiuser channel estimation and detection algorithms for base-stations in the uplink using TI’s TMS320C6x DSP Evaluation Modules(EVM). It was found that ...

Hariharan, Sathya N. M.S., Purdue University, August 2014. Improved Random Demodulator for Compressed Sensing Applications . Major Professor: Walter D. Leon-Salas. The advances in the field of signal processing have led to the continuous increase in the bandwidth of signals. Sampling these signals becomes harder and harder due to the increased bandwidth. This brings in need for a complex high r...

The common approach of designing a communication device is to maximize a welldefined objective function, e.g., the channel capacity and the cut-off rate. We propose easy-to-implement solutions for Gaussian channels that approximate the optimal results for these maximization problems. Three topics are addressed. First, we consider the case where the channel output is quantized, and we find the q...
