A suboptimal algorithm for modulation classification

In this paper we present a suboptimal algorithm for modulation classification to classify the general M-ary phase-shifted keying (MPSK) signal buried in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). We first derive the phase density functions of MPSK signals, then develop the required statistics for modulation classification and demonstrate a classifier for CW, binary phase-shifted keying (BPSK), quadrature phase-shifted keying (QPSK), and 8PSK. The structure of the proposed classifier is flexible and is easy to expand. The performance of classifier is evaluated in terms of the probability of successful classification. An example (BPSK/QPSK case) is provided to demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed classifier. The performance is evaluated through the theoretical approach and the Monte Carlo computer simulations and is compared with that previously published in 1992. It is shown that the performance of the proposed classifier is better. Further improvement in performance can be obtained by increasing the length of observation interval.

高速永磁同步电机驱动系统具有电磁时间常数小、高速区载波比低的特征,加剧了电流纹波,影响系统效率、振动噪声和电磁干扰。为降低高速永磁同步电机的电流纹波,基于SiC-MOSFET/Si-IGBT混合型逆变器设计了一种改进型低损耗空间矢量调制算法。首先,通过调整零电压矢量的生成方式和各功率器件的开关动作时序,将大部分开关动作转移至低损耗的SiC-MOSFET中,并为高损耗的Si-IGBT提供零电压开关条件,降低了逆变器损耗,提高了驱动系统的效率和可用开关频率,逆变器开关频率的提高有效降低了电机电流纹波。其次,对该算法作用时的电流纹波特性进行深入分析,在此基础上提出一种变开关频率模式的最优交轴电流纹波峰值调制算法以优化交轴电流纹波性能。然后,根据预测的交轴电流纹波峰值实时调整载波频率,通过削峰填谷的方式对交轴电流纹波进行平均,在不增加开关损耗的条件下,分散开关能量、降低转矩脉动、改善振动噪声和电磁兼容性能。所提方案的优势在于：较于传统型逆变器,逆变器开关损耗降低、效率提高,可进一步提升开关频率以改善电流纹波;较于传统空间矢量调制算法,改进了电压矢量的生成方式,并利用载波频率这一新增自由度分散能量,降低了交轴电流纹波。最后,通过仿真与实验对所提出算法的有效性进行了验证。     

Techniques for transmitting digital data on the spacelab's analogvideo channel

A study was made of various techniques for transmitting digital data over a composite video channel, with data from experiments on the Space Shuttle Orbiter in mind. Broadcast television telecommunications schemes and other techniques described in the literature were reviewed and compared. PSK (phase shift keying) MPSK (M-ary PSK), and or PAM (pulse amplitude modulation), which can be transmitted on visible lines of a frame, unassigned lines of the VBI (vertical blanking interval), or during the HBI (horizontal blanking interval), were all judged attractive under the proper conditions. However, PAM on visible lines or during the VBI should be relatively easy to implement, provide adequate average data rates, and give acceptable BERs (bit error rates)     

ZCS-PWM boost rectifier with high power factor and low conduction losses

A new single-phase high power factor rectifier is proposed, which features regulation by conventional pulsewidth modulation (PWM), soft commutation, and instantaneous average line current control. A new zero-current-switching PWM (ZCS-PWM) auxiliary circuit is configured in the presented ZCS-PWM rectifier to perform ZCS in the switches and zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) in the diodes. Furthermore, soft commutation of the main switch is achieved without additional current stress by the presented ZCS-PWM auxiliary circuit. A significant reduction in the conduction losses is achieved, since the circulating current for the soft switching flows only through the auxiliary circuit and a minimum number of switching devices are involved in the circulating current path and the proposed rectifier uses a single converter instead of the conventional configuration composed of a four-diode front-end rectifier followed by a boost converter. Seven transition states for describing the behavior of the ZCS-PWM rectifier in one switching period are described. The PWM switch model is used to predict the system performance. A prototype rated at 1 kW, operating 60 kHz, with an input ac voltage of 220 V/sub rms/ and an output voltage 400 V/sub dc/ has been implemented in laboratory. An efficiency of 97.2% and power factor near 0.99 has been measured. The analysis and design of the control circuitry are also presented.

Estimation techniques for GMSK using linear detectors in satellite communications

This paper describes data-aided signal level and noise variance estimators for Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK) when the observations are limited to the output of a filter matched to the first pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) pulse in the equivalent PAM representation. The estimators are based on the maximum likelihood (ML) principle and assume burst-mode transmission with known timing and a block of L₀ known bits. While it is well known that ML estimators are asymptotically unbiased and efficient, the analysis quantifies the rate at which the estimators approach these asymptotic properties. It is shown that the carrier phase, amplitude, and noise variance estimators are unbiased and can achieve their corresponding Cramer-Rao bounds with modest combinations of signal-to-noise ratio and observation length. The estimates are used to estimate the signal-to-noise ratio. It is shown that the mean squared error performance of the ratio increases with signal-to-noise ratio while the mean squared error performance of the ratio in decibels decreases with signal-to-noise ratio. Simulation results are provided to confirm the accuracy of the analytic results.     

Intersymbol and CW Interference in QPSK, OQPSK, and MSK Hard-Limiting Satellite Systems

A new equivalent model for deriving the bit error rate (BER) of quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK), offset QPSK (OQPSK), and minimum shift keying (MSK) signals transmitted over hard-limited channels in the presence of up-link intersymbol interference (ISI) and CW interference (CWI) is introduced. In the equivalent model the up-link and down-link are interchanged in order to avoid the complicated expectation due to the up-link ISI at the hard-limiter output. The analysis is based on the moment technique and the Gram-Charlier expansion. Numerical results of the BER show that the large bandwidth-symbol time product (BT) or the existence of CWI makes MSK preferable compared with QPSK or OQPSK.     

Comments on Transmission System Using Pseudonoise Modulation of Linear Chirps

The combination of phase shift keying (PSK) with different chirp waveforms is investigated in respect to its signal form and spectrum shape.

Error Probability in Binary Digital Communication in the Presence of an Interfering Signal

The presence of an interferring signal i(t) in a binary coherent symmetric channel is investigated. The probability of error is maximum when i(t) is antipodal to the transmitted signal, so(t) or s1 (t). The error probability is derived in the presence of a delayed interfering signal - so (t - r), where r is the time delay. An example of phase shift keying signals is given.     

MSK and Offset QPSK Modulation with Bandlimiting Filters

It is considered by some that minimum shift keying (MSK) is spectrally more efficient than quaternary phase-shift keying/offset quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK/OQPSK). An analytical method is presented here for determining the detection efficiencies of MSK and QPSK/OQPSK when the constant-envelope signal is passed through a set of filters and when the resulting signal is corrupted by Gaussian noise. The detection efficiency of MSK is compared with that of QPSK/OQPSK when a four-pole Butterworth filter is used as a transmit filter and for two different receive filter functions. When the two-sided 3-dB bandwidth of the transmit filter is between approximately 1.00/T and 1.50/T, it is shown that the detection efficiency of MSK is not substantially different from that of QPSK/OQPSK. For more severe bandlimiting of the signal, the performance of MSK is shown to be inferior to that of QPSK/OQPSK. It is, therefore, concluded that MSK does not have significantly better detection efficiency when the effect of bandlimiting filters is taken into account.     

Compensators for Bandpass Nonlinearities in Satellite Communications

The characteristics of optimum compensators for bandpass non-linearities are described. A predistortion compensator to reduce the nonlinear phase and envelope distortion at the output of a traveling-wave tube (TWT) is developed, and a possible implementation as a simple network of power law devices in cascade with the input to the TWT is given. The overall compensated characteristic of the TWT approximates that of a piecewise linear limiter with a small phase shift. A computer simulation shows that the compensated system yields 0.3 to 0.5-dB improvement in performance of a 2-phase coherent phase shift keying (CPSK) system over the uncompensated system.     

New ZVT-PWM DC/DC converters using active snubber

A novel active snubber soft switching method is proposed. The unique location of the resonant inductor and capacitor ensures low current and voltage stresses in the converter. An analytical study of a boost dc-dc converter with the proposed active snubber method is presented in detail to illustrate its operation principles and design considerations. By simple modification, this soft switching method is also suitable for ac-dc boost topology, especially for high power-factor-correction (PFC) universal interface applications. A 500 W prototype system has been made to simulatively and experimentally verify the performance of the soft switching.
