This paper investigates the design and application of data magnitude modulation to reduce power amplifier back-off for QPSK and OQPSK modulations for small satellite Earth stations. The coefficients for data magnitude modulation are obtained by using an iterative design loop. The parameters of this loop are tuned to obtain maximum gain. Roll-off factors from 10% to 100% are considered, with emphasis on small roll-off values for increased bandwidth efficiency. It is shown that a gain of almost 6dB can ideally be obtained for a roll-off factor of 10%. Error correction coding is used to compensate for the increased sensitivity to noise of the magnitude modulated data. The loss due to this increased sensitivity is reduced from almost 5.5dB to 1.2dB for a roll-off factor of 10% by using high rate product codes, thus giving an overall gain of 4.8dB. Trade offs between spectral regrowth and implementation are addressed.
This comprehensive text is a revised and greatly expanded second edition of a book first published in 1987, and provides a thorough introduction to the complex fields of signal coding and signal processing. Among the key topics covered are: the fundamentals of pulse code modulation; modern data compression techniques; block and convolutional error control codes; transmission coding techniques; digital filters; infinite and finite impulse response filters; adaptive filters; and fast Fourier transform theory, implementation and applications. Complete with problems and solutions, and containing over 230 diagrams, this textbook will be invaluable to third and fourth year undergraduates in electronic, electrical or communication engineering. It will also act as a useful reference for anyone working in this technologically important field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
