OFDM system can be combined with channel coding schemes to improve BER in fading environment. Convolution codes, Reed Solomon (RS) and Turbo codes are widely used channel codes, but in recent studies low density parity check codes (LDPC) have outperformed every other code in terms of error correction capabilities. High PAPR increases circuit complexity and reduce RF amplifier efficiency. Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) is one of the most preferred techniques for PAPR reduction, however in PTS scheme the computation of optimal phase factors necessitates exhaustive searching among all allowable phase factors. This leads to exponential increase in computation complexity with the increase in number of sub-blocks. In this paper a coded OFDM scheme with LDPC-RS concatenated codes using PTS is proposed. The design improves BER performance compared to traditional RS-convolution concatenated codes and the proposed modified PTS scheme reduces the computation complexity in terms of reduced complex multiplications and additions by significant margin and at the same time maintaining same PAPR reduction as conventional PTS scheme. OFDM system used in the paper complies with IEEE 802.11 a standard.","PeriodicalId":318875,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication (ICSC)","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116011450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initially a conventional 4×4 Butler matrix fed antenna array system has been designed at 14.5 GHz. Asymmetricity in the gain values of major beams of the antenna array system has been observed both in simulation and measurement. Generally due to the design simplicity, light weight and compactness, the rectangular patch microstrip antenna has been used as the radiating element in the Butler matrix fed antenna array system. At higher frequencies microstrip antenna suffers from losses due to surface wave excitation. It degrades the radiation efficiency of the antenna array system and also increases the level of mutual coupling between the radiating elements in the antenna array. EBG (Electromagnetic Band Gap) units are used to improve the radiation performance of the system by the generation of stop band. The propagation of surface wave will be suppressed in this stop band region and may improve the performance of the system. To fulfill this requirement, 3 × 1 planar circular EBG unit has been designed. A stop band of 2.15 GHz with the centre frequency of 14.5 GHz has been obtained by the proposed EBG unit. The 3×1 planar circular EBG unit has been integrated between the radiating elements of the antenna array system. As a result the gain enhancement has been achieved for the 1R, 2L, 2R and 1L beams both in simulation and measurement at 14.5 GHz.","PeriodicalId":318875,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication (ICSC)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117049740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a Wavelet Difference Reduction (WDR) coding based image compression technique is proposed which uses Principal Component Analysis (PCA). These techniques are combined in order to achieve high compression ratio with an acceptable degradation in the compressed images. The input image is first compressed using PCA. Few of the Principal Components are used to reconstruct the image. The reconstructed image obtained by PCA is further used as an input data for WDR compression. Since WDR is a wavelet based coding technique so it exploits local characteristics of the image and leads to high Compression Ratio (CR). Here, PCA and WDR are combined because PCA gives high image quality but low CR on the other hand WDR works opposite of it as it gives high CR. The proposed technique is applied on several test images and results are compared with WDR and JPEG2000 techniques. Results clearly show that the proposed technique is better than the existing techniques in terms of both objective and subjective fidelity criteria.","PeriodicalId":318875,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication (ICSC)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125114725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
