In this thesis, we study the performance of an antenna switching (AS) system in comparison to an Alamouti coded system. We analyze the outage probabilities and propose minimum mean-squared error based iterative equalizers for both systems. We see from the outage probability analysis of both systems that the AS system may achieve the same diversity order of the Alamouti coded scheme contingent on the transmission rate and constellation size. In the proposed receiver, MMSE equalization and channel decoding are jointly carried out in an iterative fashion. We use both hard and soft decision channel decoders in our simulations. It is observed that the Alamouti based scheme performs better when the channel state information is perfect. The Alamouti scheme also performs better than the AS scheme when the channel state information is imperfect in hard decision channel decoder case and a random interleaver is used. On the other hand, if a random interleaver is not used, AS scheme performs remarkably better than the Alamouti scheme in hard decision channel decoder case. In a soft decision channel decoder case, when the channel state information is imperfect, the AS scheme performs approximately a 2 dB better than the Alamouti scheme. Moreover, there is approximately a 3 dB performance gain if a soft decision channel decoder is used instead of hard decision.

Implementation of stanag 428 hf modem software on tms320c54x digital signal processor
Örümlü, Erhan; Baykal, Buyurman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
In this research, STANAG 4285 HF modem software is implemented on TMS320C54x fixed point digital signal processor. The software is optimized in order to meet real-time operation requirements. A fractionally spaced least mean square (LMS) decision feedback equalizer (DFE) is employed for the receiver. In order to improve the convergence of the LMS algorithm a multipass technique is utilized. Based on Watterson̕s model, an HF channel simulator is employed for evaluating the performance of the modem. The simul...
Signal reconstruction from nonuniform samples
Serdaroğlu, Bülent; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
Sampling and reconstruction is used as a fundamental signal processing operation since the history of signal theory. Classically uniform sampling is treated so that the resulting mathematics is simple. However there are various instances that nonuniform sampling and reconstruction of signals from their nonuniform samples are required. There exist two broad classes of reconstruction methods. They are the reconstruction according to a deterministic, and according to a stochastic model. In this thesis, the mos...
Chaotic digital modulation and demodulation
Öztürk, Uygar; Demirbaş, Kerim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
This thesis considers a communication system with chaotic modulation. Noise-like signals are generated by chaotic systems with different parameters to modulate binary digital signals. Demodulation is performed by both the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and Optimum Decoding Based Smoothing Algorithm (ODSA). Simulations are performed using both of these algorithms for different parameters affecting the performance of the communication system. Simulation results of these algorithms are compared.
Mutual coupling calibration of antenna arrays for direction-of-arrival estimation
Aksoy, Taylan; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
An antenna array is an indispensable portion of a direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation operation. A number of error sources in the arrays degrade the DOA estimation accuracy. Mutual coupling effect is one of the main error sources and should be corrected for any antenna array. In this thesis, a system theoretic approach is presented for mutual coupling characterization of antenna arrays. In this approach, the idea is to model the mutual coupling effect through a simple linear transformation between the mea...
Noncoherent differential demodulation of CPM signals with joint frequency offset and symbol timing estimation
Çulha, Onur; Tanık, Yalçın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
In this thesis, noncoherent differential demodulation of CPM signals with joint carrier frequency offset and symbol timing estimation is investigated. CPM is very attractive for wireless communications owing to major properties: good spectral efficiency and a constant envelope property. In order to demodulate the received CPM signal differentially, the symbol timing and the carrier frequency offset have to be estimated accurately. There are numerous methods developed for the purpose. However, we have not en...
