Common Frequencies• AM Radio: 535-1705 kHz• FM Radio: 88-108 MHz• ISM: 433.05-434.79 and 902-928 MHz• ISM: 2.4-2.5 GHz (wireless Ethernet & Bluetooth)• ISM: 5.725-5.875 GHz (wireless Ethernet)• Cell : 824-849 and 869-894 MHz• PCS: 1850-1910 and 1930-1990 MHz• AWS: 1710-1755 and 2110-2155 MHz• BRS/EBS: 2.496–2.690 GHz• More Frequencies

Digital Signal ModulationBasic forms

• Amplitude Shift Keying (M-ASK)• Phase Shift Keying (M-PSK)• Frequency Shift Keying (M-FSK)

– Continuous Phase FSK (CP-FSK)– Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying

(GMSK)• Quadrature Amplitude Modulation

(QAM)

Advanced Forms

• Trellis-Code Modulation (TCM)– Include error correction with the

modulation. Reed-Solomon codes and Viterbi decode.

• Orthogonal Frequency Division Modulation (OFDM)

• Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)– Code Division Multiple Access

(CDMA)• Frequency Hopping (FH)

– fast or slow rates

Trellis-Coded Modulation (TCM)• Developing combined modulation and coding schemes• Use a redundant nonbinary modulation in combination with a

finite-state machine based encoding process.– FSM could be similar to convolutional encoding– A multi-level/phase modulation scheme

• The concept, when performing MATLAB simulations of encoded bit streams using MPSK or QAM symbols, is there an optimal combination? – if you know the symbols being used, could one convolutional code

leading to an appropriate trellis decoding perform better than another? Yes!

7

TCM Encoding• Ungerboeck, G., "Channel coding with

multilevel/phase signals," Information Theory, IEEE Transactions on, vol.28, no.1, pp.55,67, Jan 1982.

• Initial paper describing trellis coded, soft decision encoding and modulation technique for communications.

8

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)

• Multiplexing in both phase and frequency domains– Without the costly hardware of conventional FDM– Can be implemented using IFFT/FFT hardware

• OFDM form of Multicarrier (MC) modulation– Carriers are mutually orthogonal

• We parse up a given message into separate cells (in time or frequency) to OFDM them onto a channel

an OFDM symbol is transmitted at a lower rate increased immunity to multipath employ equalization in the OFDM symbol

9

Applications• IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) and IEEE-802.16 (WiMax)• Modems, DSLs• 4G Cellular Phones

– LTE and LTE Advanced Cellular Telephone• OFDM system of parsing symbols onto separate

frequencies and phases can be extended to multiple access (MA) applications.

Spread Spectrum Systems• There are two principal types of spread

spectrum systems:– Frequency Hopping (FH-SS)

• Bluetooth, GSM Cell Phones, Military Radios– Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSS)

• GPS, CDMA Cell Phones

16

DSS Signaling• Binary Symbols {+1, -1} multiplied by a

chipping code consisting of a pseudo-random binary symbol sequence.

– The symbol modulates a lengthy chip sequence by +/- 1.

– But multiplying by the chip sequence again the original signal returns (similar to a matched filter).

17

Autocorrelation• If we transmit the DSS signal, there is a time delay

due to distance. Thus, we must time align the received DSS with the chip sequence in order to receive it.Tc

Bandwidth Expansion Factor• For DS spreading of the signal, the bandwidth has

gone from 1/T to 1/Tc– This spreads the transmitted signal spectrum.– An inverse receiving process compresses the spectrum back

to the data bandwidth

correlator sequence

Receiver Noise & SNR• The noise power is filtered by the

“correlation receiver”– Mix by PN sequence– Integrate for the Bit Period, Tb

GPS Signal Characteristics• Two Principal Frequencies

– L1 Band at 1575.42 MHz with C/A and P(Y) codes– L2 Band at 1227.60 MHz with P(Y) code– L5 Band at 1176.45 MHz with “new” C/A code

• Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Communications– Data Message at 50 bps consisting of 1500 bit pages (30 sec.)– C/A-code spreads the data using 1023-bit Gold codes at a chipping

rate of 1.023 Mcps (C/A – coarse-acquisition code)– P(Y)-code spreads the data using a code that does not repeat at a

chipping rate of 10.23 Mcps (P – precision code)• Code Transmission

– The C/A- and P(Y)-codes are transmitted in quadrature on L1– The P(Y)-code is transmitted on L2

25

GPS Receiver Characteristics• Receive up to 12 satellites simultaneously• User Minimum received power

– L1 C/A-Code:–130 dBm– L1 P-Code: –133 dBm– L2 P-Code: –136 dBm– kTB (20 MHz): –101 dBm

GPS User Position Computation• GPS uses the triangulation of signals from

the satellites to determine locations on earth. • GPS satellites know their location in space

and receivers can determine their distance from a satellite by using the travel time of a radio message from the satellite to the receiver.

• After calculating its relative position to at least 4 satellites, a GPS receiver can calculate its position using triangulation.

• They also have a database (or almanac) of the current and expected positions for all of the satellites that is frequently updated from earth.
