Practical consideration for bandpass sampling

Abstract

As an illustration, in Table 1 the values of the peak factor for BPSK are presented, while in Table 2 the values of the peak factor for QPSK are shown. BER penalty: In the process of reducing the PF, the amplitude of dm)(t) for some rn has been reduced. As a consequence the BER of x,(t) will increase. This is in fact the price paid for the reduction of the PF. In Fig. l a curves of BER for BPSK against SNR are shown: the broken line shows the BER for x(t), while the solid line shows the BER for x,(t). The SNR penalty at BER = is ~1 , 2 and 2.SdB for N = 4, 8 and 12, respectively. Conclusion: A method for MCM with low peak factor is presented for which the net bit rate remains the same as for standard MCM. However the BER is slightly higher than that in standard MCM. This BER degradation may be effectively improved by using FEC. The proposed method is very simple for on-line implementation: it is required only to measure the maximal value of the modulated signal for each symbol, and then to attenuate or amplify the signal accordingly. The off-line calculation of the value of the PF is very time consuming for large N.

Sampling Deviation Real-time Calibration Method for Wideband Simulator

“…Some constraints are required for sampling parameters in [2], [3]. It is required that the sampling clock and the trigger should synchronize to the pulse repetition frequency (PRF).…”

A New Iterative Algorithm for Finding the Minimum Sampling Frequency of MultiBand Signals

“…Sampling theorem for a bandpass signal (two passbands) is well known [3]. The minimum frequency for alias-free sampling can be found in a closed form [4]. The minimum sampling frequency is usually significantly lower than the carrier frequency of the bandpass signal.…”

The impact of time synchronization error on passive coherent pulsed radar system

“…Several restrictions on digital sampling parameters are proposed in [1,2]. In order to guarantee the coherence between pulses, the sampling clock and trigger signal must synchronize to the pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of non-cooperative transmitting signal.…”
