In this paper, a new approximated MAP algorithm for soft bit decision from QAM symbols is proposed for Gray Coded QAM signals, based on the Max-Log-MAP and a Gray coded QAM signal can be separated into independent two Gray coded PAM signal, M-PAM on I axis with M symbols and N-PAM on Q axis with N symbols. The Max-Log-MAP used distance comparisons between symbols to get the soft bit decision instead of mathematical exponential or logarithm functions. But in accordance with the increase of the number of symbols, the number of comparisons also increase with high complexity. The proposed algorithm is used with the Euclidean distance and constituted with plain arithmetic functions, thus we can know intuitively that the algorithm has low implementing complexity comparing to conventional ones.

Conventional space vector pulse width modulation based asymmetrical dual inverter configuration produces high common mode voltage (CMV) variations. This CMV causes the flow of common mode current, which adversely affects the motor bearings and electromagnetic interference of nearby electronic systems. In this study, a simple and generalized carrier based pulse width modulation (PWM) technique is proposed for dual inverter configuration. This simple approach generates various continuous and discontinuous modulating signals based PWM algorithms. With the application of the discontinuous modulating signal based PWM algorithm to the asymmetrical dual inverter configuration, the CMV can be reduced with a slightly improved quality of output voltage. The performance of the continuous and discontinuous modulating signals based PWM algorithms is explored through both theoretical and experimental studies. Results show that the discontinuous modulating signal based PWM algorithm efficiently reduces the CMV and switching losses.

Power line communication: PLC which easy to install at anywhere near outlet for electric machine. PLC uses transmission line for voltage of which is 60 Hz. Signals don't affect to electric machine in PLC because they are very small voltage. One of the important thing is the processes of adding signal to power line and extracting the signal from power line, the other is to choose the strong modulation method which sends signals long distance without loosing in PLC channel. but PLC channel have very high and variable noise and attenuation and then it is very hard to transmit optimally between the transmitter and the receiver. After all, impedance and noise problems of PLC channel must be overcame. Noises of 2 kinds which are AWGN abd impulse noise and attenuation are orated. To overcome the noise. Recently, Multi-carrier Modulation: MCM methods like as OFDM and DMT which are divide the channel into many sub-channel have been studied. those are powerful communication methods in PLC. In this paper, PLC channels made up of 3 numbers of noise and attenuation are simulated for getting BER by Matlab simulink.

The Fractional Fourier transform, as a generalization of the classical Fourier Transform, was first introduced in quantum mechanics. Because of its simple and useful properties of Fractional Fourier transform in time-frequency plane, various research results in sonar and radar signal processing have been introduced and shown superior results to conventional method utilizing Fourier transform until now. In this paper, we applied Fractional Fourier transform to sonar signal processing to detect and separate the overlapping linear frequency modulated signals. Experimental results show that received overlapping LFM(Linear Frequency Modulation) signals can be detected and separated effectively in Fractional Fourier transform domain.

The difference threshold test (DTT) declares erasures whenever the difference between the largest and second largest energy detector outputs does not exceed a given threshold. we show that the DTT outperforms the ratio threshold test (RTT) for finite modulation size and diversity order in the detection of M-FSK signals. The asymptotic performance for infinite modulation size and diversity order is then investigated. It is shown that the minimum signal-to-noise ratio required to achieve error-free communication for the DTT is the same as that for the RTT.

We propose a pseudo optical N-level pulse-amplitude modulation (PO PAM-N) signal using a few externally-modulated lasers (EMLs) operating at different wavelengths, which is suitable for upgrading the transmission speed over an optical link of < 10 km single-mode fiber with low-cost components. To compare a PO PAM-N signal with that of a standard optical PAM-N signal, we perform experiments for evaluating the performance of a 51.56-Gb/s PO PAM-4 signal and standard 51.56-Gb/s optical PAM-4 signal. The receiver sensitivity (at $BER=10^{-5}$) of the PO PAM-4 signal is 1.5 dB better than the receiver sensitivity of a standard optical PAM-4 signal. We also investigate the feasibility of PO PAM-N (N = 4, 8, and 16) signals operating at 103.12 Gb/s, considering relative intensity noise, timing jitter, extinction ratio (ER) of EMLs, and dispersion. From the results, a PO PAM-8 signal performs better than PO PAM-4 and PO PAM-16 signals at 103.12 Gb/s. Finally, we suggest a timing control method to suppress the effect of dispersion in a PO PAM-N signal. We show that the tolerance to dispersion of a 103.12-Gb/s PO PAM-8 signal can be improved to ${\pm}40ps/nm$ by applying a proposed scheme.

As one of solutions to obtain efficient use of limited spectrum resource, we suggest a methodology for the co-channel multi-site radar operations with a shifted linear frequency modulation (SLFM) based on GPS clock. The proposed algorithm is that we find a candidate set of SLFM signals with the minimum acceptable level of the correlation from the cross-correlation characteristics among selected SLFM signals. To verify the proposed methodology, numerical analysis has been accomplished for several radars operating in the same channel with a sawtooth or triangle LFM signal. The computational results of detected distances as well as range profiles are also examined for interference, noise, and algorithm limitation including the error of clock synchronization.

Simple signs were usually exchanged as the means of underwater communications. As people recently, need more informations for underwater activities, necessities of underwater communication systems exchanging hunman voice are increased. The purpose of this paper is understanding the ordinary characteristics of underwater communication and investigating the necessary conditions for a good underwater communication system by making a basic communication module. The experiment is achieved by applying AM (Amplitude Modulation) which is mainly used for the underwater communication systems and using common ultrasonic transducers. Ultrasonic transducers usually have narrow bandwidth for transducing electrical energy to mechanical energy. For improvement of sound reconstruction, transducers need more bandwidth which covers voice's frequency range, and goof linearity characteristics in this frequency range. As underwater transmissions have many factors to distort signals. Amplitude Modulation is not a proper way for underwater communications. Using digital signal by sampling human voice should be a good way for this systems, because digital communication simplify transmitting signals.

In this paper amplitude and phase distortion of the received signal through a fading channel results in a severe performance degradation of the communication system, Therefore we consider the variance of the maximum a posteriori phase estimate of sinusoidal signal by the Cramer-Rao bound in wireless fading channel. To find the Cramer-Rao lower bound for the variance of the phase, We use the derived probability density function(pdf) of the phase in Nakagami fading channel. We analyze the error performance of modulation signals using order statistics on generalized combining reception and find adequate diversity branch number.

Classification of radar signals in the field of electronic warfare is a problem of discriminating threat types by analyzing enemy threat radar signals such as aircraft, radar, and missile received through electronic warfare equipment. Recent radar systems have adopted a variety of modulation schemes that are different from those used in conventional systems, and are often difficult to analyze using existing algorithms. Also, it is necessary to design a robust algorithm for the signal received in the real environment due to the environmental influence and the measurement error due to the characteristics of the hardware. In this paper, we propose a radar signal classification method which are not affected by radar signal modulation methods and noise generation by using deep learning techniques.
