In this study, effects of modulation types on data transmission performance used in satellite communication systems for earth observation satellites were examined. The effects of PSK modulation, which is commonly used especially in S band and X band communication, on BER-Eb/No performance were also compared. The effects of “8 Phase Shift Keying-8 PSK, 16 Phase Shift Keying-16PSK, 32 Phase Shift...

In a recent paper by Werter, an unjustified normal frequency distribution is assumed, and then, the resulting error probability is compared with that of the traditional noncoherent frequency shift keying (FSK). However, the traditional FSK demodulators were developed because such a distribution could not be justified. This work presents a more appropriate error probability expression.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a triple-mode single-transistor graphene amplifier utilizing a three-terminal back-gated single-layer graphene transistor. The ambipolar nature of electronic transport in graphene transistors leads to increased amplifier functionality as compared to amplifiers built with unipolar semiconductor devices. The ambipolar graphene transistors can be configure...

In this paper, we investigates the effects of two different modulation schemes for image transmission using an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) transceiver. The main aim is to evaluate the performance between 16PSK (Phase Shift Keying) and 16QAM (Quadrature amplitude modulation) in context of BER (Bit Error Rate) in AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) channel. We evaluate the ...

Performance of robust soft decoding metrics is examined for use in convolutional coded asynchronous fast frequency-hop spread-spectrum multiple-access networks using binary frequency-shift keying under Rayleigh fading channels. For comparison, maximum-likelihood metrics based on a Gaussian approximation are derived. Significant gains are observed compared to hard decision decoding by using appr...

Problem statement: Power consumption was one of the most challenging aspects to design low power wireless sensor nodes. The objectives of the study were to (i) Design low voltage, low power transmitters for wireless sensor nodes and (ii) Compare and analyze the performance of the transmitters. Approach: The transmitters employed direct digital modulation scheme to reduce the power consumption o...
