Today's communication systems typically use high resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). However, considering future communication systems with data rates in the order of 100 Gbit/s the ADC power consumption becomes a major factor due to the high sampling rates. A promising alternative are receivers based on 1-bit quantization and oversampling w.r.t. the signal bandwidth. Such an approach requires a redesign of modulation, receiver synchronization, and demapping. A zero crossing modulation is a natural choice as the information needs to be carried in the zero crossing time instants. The present paper provides an overview on zero crossing modulation, achievable rates, sequence mapping and demapping, 1-bit based channel parameter estimation, and continuous phase modulation as an alternative zero crossing modulation scheme.
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.
