A novel frame phase extraction technique for optical‐fiber digital PPM

Abstract

The problems of achieving slot synchronization and the proper frame frequency in optical fiber digital PPM were previously studied. Self‐synchronization of the PPM format is completed here by considering the extraction of the frame phase directly from the incoming data. An original novel technique that utilizes naturally occurring sequences has been devised and used to extract the frame phase in optical‐fiber digital PPM. Original results are reported that identify two classes of naturally occurring PPM sequences. An original mathematical model is developed and used to predict the spectral properties of these sequences. A generalization of the analysis and implementation techniques is carried out that results in synchronizers that can cope with large PPM word sizes. The improvement in the spectral discrete components per extra tracked sequence is shown to be 6 dB. Original practical results are given and shown to be in agreement with the theoretical results. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

An optically preamplified PPM intersatellite system described by a moment‐generating function formulation

“…Therefore the length of a time slot t, is given by t, = T J n . The binary code can be recovered by determining the position of the pulse rclative to a clock that can be derivcd from the PPM signal [7]. Synchronization requires the tracking of the minimum sequence of two back-to-back pulses.…”

“…Having takcn the PPM pulse to be completely contained within the assigned slot, the count in any chosen slot will obey one of two statistical descriptions. These are (7) for a pulse slot and for an empty slot. The advantage of this formulation is that it facilitites the application of a Chernoff bound to the error probability.…”

Spectral electromagnetic modeling of a planar integrated structure with a general grounded anisotropic slab

“…In the study of microwave and millimeter-wave attenuation by rain, one of the most traditional D S D models, developed originally by Laws and Parsons [1] and Marshal and Palmer [ 2 ] , is of the exponential form. In the 1970s, other models were developed, such as the thunderstorm (or JT) distribution and the drizzle (or JD) distribution [3], based on the negative exponential distribution for some specific attenuation calculations [4]. Recently, new models based on the negative exponential distribution have been proposed, for example, the specific models developed by Manabe, Ihara, Awaka, and Furuhama [5] and Yeo, Kooi, Leong, and Ng [6].…”

Improved born inversion for frequency‐swept microwave imaging of dielectric cylinder

“…IC(w,)12 = 1. Note that in using expressions(4) and (15) one only considers the EDFA and receiver noises in their impact on M,(o). The jittered slot timing that is extracted could cause a pulse to be regarded as being in one of the two adjacent slots, thus leading to an additional error source.…”
