In the terrestrial optical wireless communication(OWC), the performance is affected by atmospheric turbulence and particles in the air. The received signal power loss mainly is caused by turbulence and scattering. To minimize the adverse atmospheric effects, the OWC used optical signal modulation, such as OOK, PPM and DPIM. In this paper, the packet error rate(PER) was analyzed above three modulation methods to ground optical link in atmospheric turbulence, scattering and link distance. The OWC system used three wavelengths which are 850nm, 1310nm and 1550nm. I assumed the atmospheric turbulence intensity is weak, so the refractive index is $Cn2{\approx}10-14m-2/3$ and the visibility is 2km. The numerical results shown that the L-DPIM scheme and the wavelength 1550nm are better than other modulation methods and wavelengths.

The non-inverting buck-boost converter (NIBB) is a step-up and step-down DC-DC converter suitable for wide-input-voltage-range applications. However, when the input voltage is close to the output voltage, the NIBB needs to operate in the buck-boost mode, causing a significant efficiency reduction since all four switches operates in the PWM mode. Considering both the current stress limitation and the efficiency optimization, a novel design methodology for the optimal phase-shift modulation of a NIBB in the buck-boost mode is proposed in this paper. Since the four switches in the NIBB form two bridges, the shifted phase between the two bridges can serve as an extra degree of freedom for performance optimization. With general phase-shift modulation, the analytic current expressions for every duty ratio, shifted phase and input voltage are derived. Then with the two key factors in the NIBB, the converter efficiency and the switch current stress, taken into account, an objective function with constraints is derived. By optimizing the derived objective function over the full input voltage range, an offline design methodology for the optimal modulation scheme is proposed for efficiency optimization on the premise of current stress limitation. Finally, the designed optimal modulation scheme is implemented on a DSPs and the design methodology is verified with experimental results on a 300V-1.5kW NIBB prototype.

Performance analysis and comparison of the hybrid DS-SFH spread-spectrum (SS) system using coherent MSK and QPSK modulation techniques over Rayleigh fading channel are considered in the presence of MTJ(multi-tone jamming). To analyze the BER performance of the hybrid systems with or without the Rake receiver, signal-to-noise plus interference ratio is derived as a function of the average signal-to-noise ratio, the jammer-to-signal ratio and other system parameters. Numerical results show that the performance difference between the two modulation schemes, MSK and QPSK, is negligible for low JSR, while it becomes significant with the increase of JSR. In multi-path Rayleigh fading channel without Rake receiver, the performances of the two modulation schemes are slightly improved as the DS spreading gain is increased when the total SS bandwidth is fixed. In particular, there is an optimum DS spreading gain for large JSR, in which a minimum BER is achieved, while only DS spreading gives the best performance for small JSR. For hybrid systems with Rake receiver, it is shown that the hybrid system of the MSK modulation scheme provides better anti-jamming performance and larger performance improvement with the increase of multi-path resolution capability of Rake receiver than that of QPSK modulation for all conditions.

Large aperture optical modulator called optical shutter is a key component to realize time-of-flight (TOF) based three dimensional (3D) imaging systems [1-2]. The transmission type electro-absorption modulator (EAM) is a prime candidate for 3D imaging systems due to its advantages such as small size, high modulation performance [3], and ease of forming two dimensional (2D) array over large area [4]. In order to use the EAM for 3D imaging systems, it is crucial to remove GaAs substrate over large area so as to obtain high uniformity modulation performance at 850 nm. In this study, we propose and experimentally demonstrate techniques for backside etching of GaAs substrate over a large area having high uniformity. Various methods such as lapping and polishing, dry etching for anisotropic etching, and wet etching ([20%] C6H8O7 : H2O2 = 5:1) for high selectivity backside etching [5] are employed. A high transmittance of 80% over the large aperture area ($5{\times}5mm^2$) can be obtained with good uniformity through optimized backside etching method. These results reveal that the proposed methods for backside etching can etch the substrate over a large area with high uniformity, and the EAM fabricated by using backside etching method is an excellent candidate as optical shutter for 3D imaging systems.

High spectral efficiency can be obtained by adaptive modulation in which the modulation scheme is changed according to the channel environment. Thus it is especially suitable to mobile channel which is a typical example of time-varying channel. It is required to determine the optimum thresholds of signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) to change the modulation scheme effectively according to mobile speeds. Thus the optimum thresholds for specific mobile speeds to get the required bit error rate(BER) of $10^{-6}$ are obtained with the powerful turbo code in this paper. In addition, the optimum thresholds for the continuous mobile speed are proposed by interpolation of the obtained results. And the error performance and average spectral efficiency are investigated at various mobile speeds and channel environments.

A novel turbo coded modulation scheme, called turbo-APPM, for deep space optical communications is constructed. The constructed turbo-APPM is a serial concatenations of turbo codes, an accumulator and a pulse position modulation (PPM), where turbo codes act as an outer code while the accumulator and the PPM act together as an inner code. The generator polynomial and the puncturing rule for generating turbo codes are chosen to show the low bit error rate. At the receiver, the joint decoding is performed by exchanging soft information iteratively between the inner decoder and the outer decoder. In the outer decoder, a local iterative decoding for turbo codes is conducted before transferring soft information to the inner decoder. Poisson distribution is used to model the deep space optical channel. It is shown by simulations that the constructed turbo-APPM provides coding gains over all previously proposed schemes such as LDPC-APPM, RS-PPM and SCPPM.

With the rapid development of mobile communication technology, the technologies based on the diverse digital modulation schemes have been used for the frequency range of over 800 MHz. The only radiation immunity has been tested using only AM signal based on IEC 61000-4-3 without any consideration of the influence of electromagnetic radiation in Korea. However, it has not been tested by wideband digital modulation signals such as cdmaone(IS-95), WCDMA and PM signal. The purpose of this study was to review the standards. In addition, the input signals were analyzed and tested considering the environments in Korea. The results showed that the devices were influenced by digital modulation signal or PM signal more than by AM signal.

We propose an automatic modulation recognition scheme which extracts pre-defined key features from the received signal and then applies equal gain combining method to determine the used modulation. Moreover, we compare and analyze the performance of the proposed algorithm with that of decision-theoretic algorithm. Our scheme extracts five pre-defined key features from each data segment, a data unit for the key feature extraction, which are then averaged over all the segments to recognize the modulation according to the decision procedure. We check the performance of the proposed algorithm through computer simulations for analog modulations such as AM, FM, SSB and for digital modulations such as FSK2, FSK4, PSK2, and PSK4, by measuring recognition success rate varying SNR and data collection time. The result shows that the performance of the proposed scheme is comparable to that of the decision-theoretic algorithm with less complexity.

In this paper, we combine AMC (Adaptive Modulation and Coding) with MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) multiplexing to improve the throughput performance of AMC in Next Generation Communication Mobile Systems. In addition, we propose a system that adopts STD (Selection Transmit Diversity) in the combined system. The received SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) is improved by adopting STD techniques and an improved SNR increases a probability of selecting MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) level that supports higher data rate. The computer simulation is performed in flat Rayleigh fading channel. The results show that higher throughput is achieved by AMC-TD schemes. AMC-STTD scheme shows about 250kbps increase in throughput. And AMC-STD with 2 transmit antennas achieves about 420 kbps throughput improvement over the conventional AMC at 9dB SNR.
