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...

The performance of dual heard pulse interval modulation (DH-PIM) employing least mean square error equaliser (LMSE) in diffuse infrared indoor environment is presented. The work is based on the ceiling bounce channel model and the Monte Carlos simulation. A 3-tap LMSE equaliser is used and results are compared with unequalised DH-PIM and with DHPIM employing linear zero forcing equaliser (L-ZFE...

The problems in Harold Walker’s latest essay, amusingly titled “The Facts of Life”, start with his very first line: Digital Modulation is usually a form of pulse modulation, of which, there are two types-Pulse Width and Pulse position. What about pulse amplitude modulation (PAM), phase shift keying (PSK) and frequency shift keying (FSK), just to mention a few others? All pulses are analyzed by ...

This paper studies performances of ultra wideband (UWB) communication systems in AWGN channel. The studied UWB systems are utilizing different kinds of modulation schemes. The propagating information signal is jammed with a signal having a spectrum in the UMTS or in the GSM band. The simulations showed that the time hopping UWB system utilizing binary PAM modulation outperforms the other studie...

This paper analyzes the way to increase the energy efficiency of three phase converters applied to control AC motor drives, through the reduction of the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the output voltage and the reduction in the switching losses in the PWM inverter. The aim is to develop a system which selects the most adequate modulation technique required to simultaneously optimize the har...

Whenever a continuous-tone image has to be displayed on a bi-level medium, some kind of halftoning has to be carried out. Nowadays processing of the continuous-tone image is often done by a computer, i.e. the sampled and quantized continuous-tone image is transformed into a binary image by a halftoning algorithm. In the following we will assume the continuous-tone image to be scaled between 0 a...

We present the procedure for designing a high speed and low power all-optical analog to digital converter (AO-ADC), by integrating InGaAsP semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) with InP based photonic crystal (PhC) drop filters. The self-phase modulation in the SOA can shift the frequency of the Gaussian input pulse. The two output PhC based drop filters are designed to appropriately code the f...
