In this paper a practical broadband microwave amplifier design algorithm is introduced utilizing the immittance data-modelling tool. In the course of design first the optimum input and output terminations for the active device are produced employing the real frequency technique. Then these terminations are modelled utilizing the new immittance-modelling tool to synthesize the front-end and back-end matching networks. An example is included to exhibit the implementation of the proposed design ...

Focusing on transmit diversity orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission through frequency-selective channels this paper pursues a channel estimation approach in time domain for both space-frequency OFDM (SF-OFDM) and space-time OFDM (ST-OFDM) systems based on AR channel modelling. The paper proposes a computationally efficient pilot-aided linear minimum mean-square-error (MMSE) time-domain channel estimation algorithm for OFDM systems with transmitter diversity in unknown ...

This paper presents an iterative scheme for joint timing acquisition multi-channel parameter estimation and multiuser soft-data decoding. As an example an asynchronous convolutionally coded direct-sequence code-division multiple-access system is considered. The proposed receiver is derived within the space-alternating generalized expectation-maximization framework implying that convergence in likelihood is guaranteed under appropriate conditions in contrast to many other iterative receiver ...

In this study a novel scheme called orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with index modulation (OFDMIM) is proposed for frequency selective channels. In this scheme the information is conveyed not only by only M -ary signal constellations as in classical OFDM but also by the indices of the active subcarriers which are determined according to the information bits. Different transceiver structures have been investigated for the proposed scheme and it has been shown via computer simulations ...

In this study a numerical method is proposed to determine the oscillation frequencies in the astable cellular neural networks with opposite-sign templates [1]. This method depends on the training of a multilayer perceptron that uses various template coefficients and the correspondant frequency values as inputs and outputs. First of all a frequency surface is obtained from templates and then training samples are picked from this surface in order to apply to multilayer perceptron. The effects of the ...

A model for FPGA implementation of multilayer perceptron neural networks is presented. The model tries to incorporate object oriented design principles in the analysis training and design of components using hardware description languages. The synthesis will be based on the tools supplied by the FPGA vendors. The results indicate that the method can be utilized and it can be further improved to create a general methodology that bridges the gap between hardware and software in embedded system design.

Traditional wireless technologies are not well suited to meet the extremely demanding requirements of providing the very high data rates with the ubiquity mobility and portability characteristic of cellular systems. Some fundamental barriers related to the nature of the radio channel as well as the limited bandwidth availability at the frequencies of interest stand in the way. Unique sets of efficient advanced signal processing algorithms and techniques is the one of the primary enablers that will ...

Amplitude and frequency modulations are still the most popular modulation techniques in data transmission at telecommunication systems such as radio and television broadcasting gsm etc. However the architectures of these individual systems are totally different. In this paper it is shown that a cellular neural network with an opposite-sign template can behave either as an amplitude or a frequency modulator. Firstly a brief information about these networks is given and then the amplitude and frequency ...

The challenging problem in the design of digital receivers of today's and future high-speed high data-rate wireless communication systems is to implement the optimal decoding and channel estimation processes jointly in a computationally feasible way. Without realising such a critical function perfectly at receiver the whole system will not work properly within the desired performance limits. Unfortunately direct implementation of such optimal algorithms is not possible mainly due to their ...
