Abo-Zahhad","doi":"10.1109/NRSC.1998.711479","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/NRSC.1998.711479","url":null,"abstract":"It is well known that filter banks that satisfy perfect reconstruction property can be obtained with selective linear phase FIR analysis and synthesis filters. The perfect reconstruction property guarantees that the filter bank is distortion less and thus the reconstructed signal is a delayed version of the input signal. Although they are less expensive and yield superior stopband characteristics, perfect reconstruction cannot be achieved with stable infinite impulse response (IIR) filters. IIR designs usually incorporate a post-processing equalizer that is optimized to reduce the phase distortion of the entire filter bank. This paper solves an open problem; namely how to construct a two-channel perfect reconstruction filter bank with rational transfer functions. A computationally simple method to obtain IIR analysis and synthesis filters that possess zero phase distortion is presented. The method is based on amplitude and phase correction of the main subband filters designed on amplitude bases. Conventional Butterworth, Chebyshev or elliptic amplitude based filters are used as decimated-interpolated analysis-synthesis filters. The amplitude and phase corrections are carried out by using a narrow band auxiliary channel which is neither decimated nor interpolated. The developed filter bank structure offers advantages in easy and flexibility of design as well as in less computational complexity compared to the conventional QMF banks with the same performances.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

The performance of the proposed system is analyzed in a two-path Rayleigh fading channel taking into account frequency-selective, carrier random frequency shift, intersymbol interference (ISI), Doppler frequency shift, cochannel interference (CCI) and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), while the receiver (Rx) rejects a specified amount of adjacent channel interference (ACI). For the interference, we adopt a model which includes N statistically independent faded CCI. Numerical results show that the Rx structure under consideration has the potential to combat the effect of frequency shifts, and yields a superior performance where the conventional differential detector (CDD) becomes unusable.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

The main drawback of this system is that the spectral efficiency is very low and it requires high transmitted power. This can be overcomed by using non-binary codes (e.g. RS codes). This paper presents the computer simulation of a coded FCMA system in the presence of multiple access interference (MAI) and white Gaussian noise (AWGN). Either the source rate or the number of frequency divisions should be reduced to overcome the bandwidth constraint. The obtained results showed that at the same transmitted power the spectral efficiency can be doubled, also the transmitted power can be reduced approximately by 5 dB if the spectral efficiency is kept constant.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

The main source of the nonlinearity is the traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA) on-board the satellite. The transponder nonlinearities considered in this paper are due to: input amplitude-output amplitude conversion (AM/AM) and input amplitude-output phase conversion (AM/PM). The results are determined in terms of the dependence of average symbol error probability (Pe) upon the uplink and downlink signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) at different values of input back-off (BO) from saturation operation of the TWTA. Finally, the results showed that the appropriate values of the threshold levels and compensation phases at the receiver are highly correlated and can only be arrived at by minimizing the average symbol error probabilities.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.

Though overlapping areas usually exist between BS coverage, we redirect teletraffic away from heavily loaded cells. We present three algorithms. The first is the directed retry with handover priority algorithm that recognises blocking of a call and searches for alternative BSs. The second is the BS load equalization algorithm that directs new calls initiated in the overlapping area to be made to the BS with most available channels. The third is the rearrangement upon blocking algorithm that clears a connection from the current saturated BS in order to allow the mobile station in trouble to be served. The performance of these algorithms is evaluated using event driven computer simulations in addition to an analytical queueing model. It is found that in situations where radio coverage of adjacent cells is overlapped, the proposed algorithms yield higher system capacity.","PeriodicalId":128355,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Radio Science Conference.
