This paper presents a high order modulation scheme for IR-UWB systems. For 8-ary modulation, we combine pulse position modulation (PPM), pulse amplitude modulation (PAM), and pulse shape modulation (PSM), which are well-established schemes for IR-UWB. The transmitter and receiver architectures of the proposed system, we call PPASM, are provided. In addition, we propose the use of complex Shanno...

In this paper, a 7-level Diode Clamped Multilevel Inverter (DCMLI) is simulated with three different carrier PWM techniques. Here, Carrier based Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM), Third Harmonic Injected Pulse Width Modulation (THIPWM) and Modified Carrier-Based Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) are used as modulation strategies. These modulation strategies include Phase Dispos...

Modulation techniques have attracted increasing attention in optical wireless communications. Basic schemes such as on off keying (OOK), pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) and pulse position modulation (PPM) have been validated as suitable for the optical wireless channel. This paper starts from the analysis of these three modulation schemes in terms of their power and bandwidth requirements. As ...

In this paper we introduce a novel method for high data rate transmission in ultra-wideband (UWB) communications systems. This is achieved through a new approach based on hybrid techniques between pulse position modulation (PPM), pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) and pulse shape modulation (PSM) using combinations between a minimum possible number of modified hermite polynomial (MHP) functions b...
