This paper is to design and implement a low power noncoherent BFSK receiver intended for future deep space communication using Xilinx System generator. The receiver incorporates a 16 point Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) for symbol detection. The design units of the receiver are digital design for better efficiency and reliability. The receiver functions on one bit data processing and supports main data rate 10kbps. In addition CORDIC algorithm is used for avoiding complex multiplications while computing FFT and multiplication of twiddle factor for low power is substituted by rotators. The design and simulation of the receiver is carried out in Simulink then the Simulink model is translated to the hardware model to implement FPGA using Xilinx System Generator and to verify performance.

In this Paper, we propose to extend the TSS-LS(Two-Step Search scheme with Linear search based Second step) scheme which was already proposed by the authors for coherent UWB(Ultra Wide Band) systems, to rapid and reliable acquisition of noncoherent UWB systems in multipath channels. The proposed noncoherent TSS-LS employing simple energy window banks utilizes two different thresholds and search windows to achieve fast acquisition. Furthermore, the linear search is adopted for the second step in the proposed scheme to correctly find the starting point in the range of effective delay spread of the multipath channels, and to obtain reliable BER(Bit Error Rate) performance of the noncoherent UWB systems. Simulation results with multipath channel models by IEEE 802.15.3a show that the proposed two-step search scheme can achieve significant reduction of the required mean acquisition time as compared to general search schemes. ]n addition, the proposed scheme achieves quite good BER performance for large signal-to-noise ratios, which is favorably comparable to the case of ideal perfect timing.

In this paper, a new soft-fusion approach for multiple-receiver wireless communication systems is proposed. In the proposed approach, each individual receiver provides the central receiver with a confidence level rather than a binary decision. The confidence levels associated with the local receiver are modeled by means of soft-membership functions. The proposed approach can be applied to wireless digital communication systems, such as amplitude shift keying, frequency shift keying, phase shift keying, multi-carrier code division multiple access, and multiple inputs multiple outputs sensor networks. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated and compared to the performance of the optimal diversity, majority voting, optimal partial decision, and selection diversity in case of binary noncoherent frequency shift keying on a Rayleigh faded additive white Gaussian noise channel. It is shown that the proposed approach achieves considerable performance improvement over optimal partial decision, majority voting, and selection diversity. It is also shown that the proposed approach achieves a performance comparable to the optimal diversity scheme.

In this paper presents equations which describe an average weighted spectrum of errors and average block error probabilities for noncoherent frequency shift keying (NCFSK) used in D-branch maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity in independent very slow nonselective Nakagami fading channels. The average is formed over the instantaneous receiver signal to noise ratio (SNR) after combining. the analysis is limited to additive Gaussian noise.

The use of concatenated codes in noncoherent synchronous optical fiber CDMA networks is proposed. The concatenated code sequences are generated using balanced Walsh code sequences and Walsh code sequences. The selection of balanced Walsh code sequences is presented and the design of fully programmable transmitter and receiver is reported. The analysis of the system BER performance shows that multiple-access interference is completely eliminated and the BER performance of the proposed system is better than that of the non-coherent synchronous optical fiber CDMA system using optical orthogonal codes with double hard-limiters.

This paper considers a channel estimation technique in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system with complementary code keying (CCK) signaling over multipath fading channels. This scheme uses the maximum correlator output of RAKE receiver for the extraction of the channel parameters. The performance of the proposed detection technique is compared with that of a noncoherent detection technique, and a significant improvement of performance is observed in terms of the bit error probability.

In this paper, we propose maximum likelihood (ML) decision feedback channel estimation (DFCE) for M-ary orthogonal modulation in direct sequence/code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) systems. The proposed DFCE uses the maximum combiner output in a RAKE receiver as decision feedback information, enabling M-ary orthogonal signals to be demodulated coherently and a RAKE receiver to use a em maximal ration combining (MRC) scheme. However, the performance of the proposed DFCE in the multiuser environment is severely degraded due to multiple access interference (MAI). To overcome this problem, a multistage parallel interference cancellation (PIC) scheme is combined with the proposed DFCE for multiuser environments. Accurate knowledge of the channel coefficient estimated by the proposed DFCE is used to regenerate the signal of each user for the multistage PIC scheme. According to the results of our simulations, the performance of coherent demodulation using the proposed system is significantly improved in comparison with conventional noncoherent demodulation.

In this paper, we propose a timing recovery loop for Inmarsat mini-m system downlink receiver. Inmarsat mini-m system requires a timing recovery loop which is robust in frequency offset and has fast acquisition because Inmarsat mini-m system specification requires frequency tolerance is required of ${\pm}924$ Hz (signal bandwidth: 2.4 kHz) and acquisition time of UW (Unique Word) signal duration (15ms).Therefore, we propose a timing recovery loop which is suitable for Inmarsat mini-m system. The proposed timing recovery loop adopted noncoherent UW detector and differential ELD which applied differential UW signal for stability and fast acquisition in frequency offset environment. Simulation results show that the proposed timing recovery loop has stable operation and fast acquisition in frequency offset environment for the system.

In this paper, we propose a technique of a practical symbol acquisition and tracking using a low complex ADC and simple digital circuits for noncoherent asynchronous impulse-radio-based Ultra Wideband (IR-UWB) receiver based on energy detection. Compared to previous approaches of detecting an exact acquisition time that require much hardware resource, the proposed technique is to detect the target symbol by finding the symbol acquisition interval per symbol with a target symbo, thus the complexity of the complete signal processing and power consumption by ADC are reduced. To do this, we define the bit decision window (BDW) and analyze the relation between SNR, hardware resource, size of BDW and BER(Bit Error Rate). Using the results, the optimum BDW size for the minimum BER with limited hardware resource is selected. The proposed synchronization technique is verified with an aid of a simulator programmed by considering practical impulse channels.

In this paper, we Investigate the $Q^2PSK$ modulation and demodulation system and analyze the BER performance of the receiver system under 2-way Rayleigh fading and Gaussian noisy channel environment. The TDL equalizer with the adaptive LMS algorithm is used to improve the receiver performance since the received signal is distorted through that channel and the recovered carrier from the noncoherent demodulation has much phase deviation error. From the results of computer simulation, It is shown that at 12dB SNR, the reception performance is improved by $83.7\%$ in the fading case, $89.3\%$ in the carrier phase error case and $60.4\%$ in the case of the fading and carrier phase error.
