This paper presents a new amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), amplitude shift keying (ASK), frequency shift keying (FSK), phase shift keying (PSK) and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) waveform generators using current current-controlled conveyor transconductance amplifier (CCCTA) and current conveyor analog switches (CCASs). The CCCTA around with capacitors and resistors are used to generate high-frequency carrier which is worked as a quadrature oscillator. The oscillating frequency of oscillator can be controlled using the bias current of CCCTA, therefore FM and FSK waveforms can be obtained by applying information signal through the bias current of CCCTA. Unlike previous waveform generators, proposed circuit uses second generation current conveyor (CCII) to work as CCAS and AM, ASK, PSK and QAM waveforms can be obtained by putting information signals to control switches that realized using CCIIs. The proposed circuit has been simulated using 0.18[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m CMOS [Formula: see text]-well process from TSMC. The simulation results are used to confirm workability of the proposed circuit.

In this paper, we proposed a new symbol rate estimation algorithm for phase shift keying (PSK) and qua drawtube amplitude modulation (QAM) signals in AWGN channel First we constructe a delay-multiplied signal, from which we obtaine the modulated information. Then we calculated the instantaneous autocorrelation of the delay-multiplied signal to pick out the phase jump. To eliminate the restriction of frequency resolution in fast Fourier transform, we performed a Chirp-Z transform to find out the exact spectral line which represente the symbol rate of the signal to be analyzed. Compared with the existing algorithms, it is a simple solution that has a better performance and accuracy in low signal-to-noise-ratio channel conditions. Simulation results show that the probability of relative estimating deviation below 0.1% reaches 100% and the average and standard variance of absolute estimation deviation are at the magnitude of 10-2 when SNR is over 2dB.

AbstractIn this paper, we are going to design simulate an all optical OR gate based on two-dimensional photonic crystals. The proposed structure was designed based on phase shift keying technique. The working principle of the proposed structure is based on constructive and destructive interference of optical beams. The simulation results shows that the rise and fall times are 0.8 and 0.2 ps, respectively.

In this work, an implementation-friendly multiple-symbol detection (MSD) scheme is proposed for the IEEE 802.15.4g offset quadrature phase shift keying (O-QPSK) receivers over the slow fading channel. The full MSD scheme presents better detection performance than the symbol-by-symbol detection (SBSD) scheme, yet its complexity increases exponentially as the observation window length increases. We introduce a simplified MSD scheme based on two powerful strategies. We first seek the optimal and suboptimal decisions in each symbol position with the standard SBSD procedure. Then, the aforementioned optimal and suboptimal decisions instead of all candidates are jointly searched with the standard MSD procedure. That is, only the most and second most reliable candidates in each symbol position are selected to participate in the final detection. The simulation results demonstrate that the new MSD scheme can achieve more encouraging energy gain than the SBSD scheme, while the high complexity of full MSD is also effectively reduced. A more legitimate compromise between detection performance and complexity is thus accomplished, which enables smart metering utility networks (SUN) nodes to achieve energy saving and maximum service life.

This paper proposes current controlled differential difference current conveyor transconductance amplifier (CCDDCCTA), a new active building block for analog signal processing. The functionality of the proposed block is verified via SPICE simulations using 0.25 μm TSMC CMOS technology parameters. The usefulness of the proposed element is demonstrated through an application, namely, wave filter. The CCDDCCTA-based wave equivalents are developed which use grounded capacitors and do not employ any resistors. The flexibility of terminal characteristics is utilized to suggest an alternate wave equivalents realization scheme which results in compact realization of wave filter. The feasibility of CCDDCCTA-based wave active filter is confirmed through simulation of a third-order Butterworth filter. The filter cutoff frequency can be tuned electronically via bias current.

Aiming at the digital quadrature modulation system, a mathematical Pan-function model of the optimized baseband symbol signals with a symbol length of4Twas established in accordance with the minimum out-band energy radiation criterion. The intersymbol interference (ISI), symbol-correlated characteristics, and attenuation factor were introduced to establish the mathematical Pan-function model. The Pan-function was added to the constraints of boundary conditions, energy of a single baseband symbol signal, and constant-envelope conditions. Baseband symbol signals with the optimum efficient spectrum were obtained by introducing Fourier series and minimizing the Pan-function. The characteristics of the spectrum and peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the obtained signals were analyzed and compared with the minimum shift keying (MSK) and quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) signals. The obtained signals have the characteristics of a higher spectral roll-off rate, less out-band radiation, and quasi-constant envelope. We simulated the performance of the obtained signals, and the simulation results demonstrate that the method is feasible.

This paper presents a new floating memristor emulator (FME) consisting of only a single current backward transconductance amplifier (CBTA) as the active element and two grounded capacitors. The proposed FME-based on CBTA enjoys some advantages that include minimum active and passive elements without using an analog multiplier circuit and grounded passive elements which are attractive for the integrated circuit. In addition, excluding the DC power supply voltage, it does not use bias voltage and/or bias current. The designed memristor circuit provides incremental and decremental characteristics without changing circuit topology or using a switching mechanism and it is implemented with a minimum of circuit elements. All simulation results for the memristor emulator were obtained as expected when compared with fabricated memristors.

Automatic modulation classification plays a significant role in intelligent communication. A new method based on feature extraction is proposed for the recognition of M-ary Phase Shift Keying (MPSK) signals. As features, fourth and eighth order cumulants of the input samples and phase differential sequences were applied. It is shown that the cumulant-based features have robust anti-noise ability. Simulation results demonstrate that the correct classification probability (Pcc) with the proposed algorithm is higher than the existing approaches at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
