The purpose of this paper is to compare the turbocoded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and turbo-coded single carrier frequency domain equalization (SCFDE) systems under the effects of carrier frequency offset (CFO), symbol timing offset (STO) and phase noise in wideband VoglerHoffmeyer HF channel model. The BER performance versus CFO, STO and phase noise obtained through Mont...

In this paper, we provide an exact closed-form expression of the effective signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) performance under the combined effect of the phase noise, frequency offset, and amplifier nonlinearities of the soft envelope limiter (SEL). A simplified approximate expression is also obtained for the effective SNR under certain conditions...

We study the performance of achromatic half-wave plates (AHWP) as a function of their construction parameters, the detection bandwidth of a power detector operating in the millimeter wave band, and the spectral shape of the incident radiation. We focus particular attention on the extraction of the degree of incident polarization and its orientation angle from the intensity measured as a functio...

In this paper, we provide an exact closed-form expression of the effective signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) performance under the combined effect of phase noise, frequency offset, and amplifier nonlinearities of the soft envelope limiter (SEL). This formula describes explicitly the various parameters with the system performance. After deriving th...

This paper presents a heterodyne common-path grating interferometer with Littrow configuration (HCGIL). The HCGIL can effectively overcome environmental disturbance effect and the DC offset and the amplitude variation of the measurement signals. Experimental results match well with the HP5529A results for long-range measurements. Results also show that the estimated measurement resolution is 0....

In this Letter, the amplitude and group delay characteristics of coupled resonator optical waveguides apodized through the longitudinal offset technique are presented. The devices have been fabricated in silicon-on-insulator technology employing deep ultraviolet lithography. The structures analyzed consisted of three racetracks resonators uniform (nonapodized) and apodized with the aforemention...

Calibrated ACS/WFC science frames processed through the CALACS pipeline exhibit a residual offset in their absolute levels at the edge separating the Amp A-B and Amp C-D quadrants. This effect can be attributed primarily to uncertainties in the bias level subtraction. We present an analysis of the overscan levels and of the amplitude and behavior of the residual offsets for a large sample of bi...

Ultrashort pulse light-matter interactions in a semiconductor are investigated within the regime of resonant optical rectification. Using pulse envelope areas of around 1.5-3.5 pi, a single-shot dependence on carrier-envelope-offset phase (CEP) is demonstrated for 5 fs pulse durations. A characteristic phase map is predicted for several different frequency regimes using parameters for thin-film...

Amplitude spectra might provide information for natural scene classification. Amplitude does play a role in animal detection because accuracy suffers when amplitude is normalized. However, this effect could be due to an interaction between phase and amplitude, rather than to a loss of amplitude-only information. We used an amplitude-swapping paradigm to establish that animal detection is partly...

We present a novel algorithm for estimating the Carrier Frequency Offset (CFO) in an OFDM receiver. The algorithm is based on locating the spectral minimas within null subcarriers embedded in the spectrum. This is done by using a scaled DFT algorithm to calculate the spectrum of the OFDM symbol around the null subcarrier, followed by averaging the absolute square of the amplitude. The method is...
