Abstract

Multicarrier modulation is a technique in which a spectrally shaped channel with colored noise is partitioned into a set of parallel orthogonal subchannels, each with its own carrier. The work presented in this dissertation focuses on multicarrier systems whose basis vectors are inverse discrete Fourier transform and discrete Fourier transform vectors.
To be able to reliably transmit and receive digital data at the highest possible data rate, every component of the communication system must be... More optimized. This dissertation addresses the following problems: optimal energy allocation (the bit-loading problem), frequency error estimation and correction, and impulse noise cancellation.
A number of practical bit-loading algorithms designed for communication systems with power spectral density constraint are proposed and analyzed. Special attention is given to the problem of noise margin maximization with power spectral density constraint and bit rate constraint.
A major drawback of multicarrier systems is their sensitivity to synchronization errors. The influence of sampling frequency offset is discussed and methods for its estimation and correction are proposed. A novel sampling frequency offset correction structure is developed, which interpolates the twiddle factors instead of input samples.
Impulse noise is known to be highly damaging to the performance of a multicarrier system. In this dissertation, a selection of impulse noise detection algorithms is presented, and their performance is investigated. Consequently, a novel impulse noise cancellation algorithm that combines time-domain and frequency-domain analysis is proposed.
Finally, computationally efficient receiver structures, for systems employing modified frequency hopping modulation are presented. Less

Abstract (croatian)

Modulacija s više nosilaca (engl. multicarrier modulation) dijeli spektralno oblikovani kanal s obojenim šumom na skup paralelnih ortogonalnih podkanala. U disertaciji su opisani algoritmi obradbe signala u sustavima s više nosilaca čiji su bazni vektori inverzna diskretna Fourier-ova transformacija i diskretna Fourier-ova transformacija.
Da bi se postigla što veća brzina komunikacija uz zadanu pouzdanost, potrebno je optimizirati svaku komponentu komunikacijskog sustava. U disertaciji su... More opisana rješenja za optimalnu raspodjelu energije na pojedine nosioce, procjenu i korekciju greške frekvencije otipkavanja, te poništavanje impulsnog šuma.
Predloženo je i analizirano više algoritama za optimalnu raspodjelu energije unutar zadanog frekvencijskog pojasa, uz uvjet ograničenja spektralne gustoće snage.
Jedan od principijelnih nedostataka sustava s više nosilaca je osjetljivost na greške sinkronizacije u vremenskoj i frekvencijskoj domeni. U radu je analiziran utjecaj greške frekvencije otipkavanja, te su predložene metode procjene greške i algoritam korekcije. Predloženi algoritam interpolira koeficijente Fourier-ove transformacije, a ne uzorke signala, čime je postignuta veća točnost i brzina algoritma.
Impulsni šum može značajno smanjiti pouzdanost prijenosa podataka u sustavima s više nosilaca. U radu je opisano više algoritama za detekciju impulsnog šuma. Informaciju o prisustvu impulsnog šuma unutar simbola mogu iskoristiti dekoder, svi adaptivni elementi prijemnika (izbjegavanje adaptiranja parametara za simbol kontaminiran impulsnim šumom), te element za poništavanje impulsnog šuma. Predložen je novi algoritam poništavanja impulsnog šuma koji kombinira analizu u vremenskoj i frekvencijskoj domeni.
Također je opisana realizacija prijemnika za sustav koji koristi modulaciju modificiranog frekvencijskog skakanja, a koja se također može smatrati modulacijom s više nosilaca. Less
