Hybrid Dual-Hop RF/FSO Terrestrial-Deep Space Communication System Under Solar Scintillation during Superior Solar Conjunction

Free-space optical communication (FSO) technology has wide prospects in deep space exploration, but it will encounter coronal turbulence during superior solar conjunction, and solar scintillation will seriously affect the communication quality. In this paper, we propose a terrestrial–deep space hybrid radio frequency (RF)/FSO system with the hybrid L-pulse position modulation-binary phase shift keying-subcarrier intensity modulation (L-PPM–BPSK–SIM) scheme, where the RF channel of the satellite-terrestrial relay follows the Rayleigh distribution, and the FSO channel of the relay satellite to the deep space probe adopts Gamma–Gamma distribution. Considering the pointing error, the expression of the bit error rate (BER), the outage probability, and the average channel capacity of the hybrid system are derived. In addition, we evaluated the influence of coronal turbulence parameters on the system through amplitude fluctuations. The simulation results demonstrate that the hybrid RF/FSO system improves the BER performance by 10 to 30 times in a deep space environment, and the use of a hybrid modulation can further reduce the BER. The non-Kolmogorov spectral index, outer scale, solar wind density fluctuation factor, and optical wavelength comprehensively affect the BER through amplitude fluctuations. Our research results have potential application value for evaluating the link performance of future deep space communications.

Secure Communication Scheme for Brain-Computer Interface Systems Based on High-Dimensional Hyperbolic Sine Chaotic System

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a direct communication pathway between the brain and the external environment without using peripheral nerves and muscles. This emerging topic is suffering from serious issues such as malicious tampering and privacy leakage. To address this issue, we propose a novel communication scheme for BCI Systems. In particular, this scheme first utilizes high-dimensional chaotic systems with hyperbolic sine nonlinearity as the random number generator, then decorrelation operation is used to remove the physical characteristics of the output sequences. Finally, each of the sequences is applied in differential chaos shift keying (DCSK). Since each output sequence corresponds to a unique electrode, the communication data of different electrodes will not interfere with each other. Compared with popular multi-user DSCK schemes using Walsh code sequences, this scheme does not require the channel data of all electrodes while decoding. Therefore, this scheme has higher efficiency. Experimental results on communication data indicate that the proposed scheme can provide a high level of security.

Real & Simulated QPSK Up-Converted Signals by a Sampling Method Using a Cascaded MZMs Link

This study focuses on a novel concept of transmitting of a quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation by an electro-optical frequency up-conversion using a cascaded Mach–Zehnder modulators (MZMs) link. Furthermore, we conduct and compare the results obtained by simulations using the Virtual Photonics Inc. (VPI) (Berlin, Germany) simulator and real-world experiments. The design and operating regime peculiarities of the MZM used as a sampling up-converter mixer in a radio over fiber (RoF) system are also analyzed. Besides, the simulation and experimental results of static and dynamic characteristics of the MZM have approximately the same behavior. The conversion gain of the cascaded MZMs link is simulated over many mixing frequencies and it can decrease from 17.5 dB at 8.3 GHz to −4.5 dB at 39.5 GHz. However, in real world settings, it may decrease from 15.5 dB at 8.3 GHz to −6 dB at 39.5 GHz. The maximum frequency range is attained at 78.5 GHz for up-conversion through simulations. Error vector magnitude (EVM) values have been done to evaluate the performance of our system. An EVM of 16% at a mixing frequency of 39.5 GHz with a bit rate of 12.5 Gbit/s was observed with the considering sampling technique, while it reached 19% in real-world settings with a sampling frequency of 39.5 GHz and a bit rate of 12.5 Gbit/s.

Design of a SIMO Deep Learning-Based Chaos Shift Keying (DLCSK) Communication System

This paper brings forward a Deep Learning (DL)-based Chaos Shift Keying (DLCSK) demodulation scheme to promote the capabilities of existing chaos-based wireless communication systems. In coherent Chaos Shift Keying (CSK) schemes, we need synchronization of chaotic sequences, which is still practically impossible in a disturbing environment. Moreover, the conventional Differential Chaos Shift Keying (DCSK) scheme has a drawback, that for each bit, half of the bit duration is spent sending non-information bearing reference samples. To deal with this drawback, a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)-based receiver is trained offline, using chaotic maps through a finite number of channel realizations, and then used for classifying online modulated signals. We presented that the proposed receiver can learn different chaotic maps and estimate channels implicitly, and then retrieves the transmitted messages without any need for chaos synchronization or reference signal transmissions. Simulation results for both the AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels show a remarkable BER performance improvement compared to the conventional DCSK scheme. The proposed DLCSK system will provide opportunities for a new class of receivers by leveraging the advantages of DL, such as effective serial and parallel connectivity. A Single Input Multiple Output (SIMO) architecture of the DLCSK receiver with excellent reliability is introduced to show its capabilities. The SIMO DLCSK benefits from a DL-based channel estimation approach, which makes this architecture simpler and more efficient for applications where channel estimation is problematic, such as massive MIMO, mmWave, and cloud-based communication systems.

Sub-Milliwatt Transceiver IC for Transcutaneous Communication of an Intracortical Visual Prosthesis

An intracortical visual prosthesis plays a vital role in partially restoring the faculty of sight in visually impaired people. Reliable high date rate wireless links are needed for transcutaneous communication. Such wireless communication should receive stimulation data (downlink) and send out neural recorded data (uplink). Hence, there is a need for an implanted transceiver that is low-power and delivers sufficient data rate for both uplink and downlink. In this paper, we propose an integrated circuit (IC) solution based on impulse radio ultrawideband using on-off keying modulation (OOK IR-UWB) for the uplink transmitter, and binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) with sampling and digital detection for the downlink receiver. To make the solution low-power, predominantly digital components are used in the presented transceiver test-chip. Current-controlled oscillators and an impulse generator provide tunability and complete the on-chip integration. The transceiver test-IC is fabricated in 180 nm CMOS technology and occupies only 0.0272 mm2. At 1.3 V power supply, only 0.2 mW is consumed for the BPSK receiver and 0.3 mW for the IR-UWB transmitter in the transceiver IC, while delivering 1 Mbps and 50 Mbps, respectively. Our link budget analysis shows that this test chip is suitable for intracortical integration considering the future off-chip antennas/coils transcutaneous 3–7 mm communication with the outer side. Hence, our work will enable realistic wireless links for the intracortical visual prosthesis.

Adaptive Noise-Resistant Low-Power ASK Demodulator Design in UHF RFID Chips

This paper presents a new signal demodulator for ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) tag chips. The demodulator is used to demodulate amplitude shift keying (ASK) modulated signals with the advantages of high noise immunity, large input range and low power consumption. The demodulator consists of a charge pump, an envelope detector, and a comparator. In particular, the demodulator provides a hysteresis input signal to the comparator through two envelope detectors, resulting in better noise immunity. The demodulator is based on a standard 0.13 µm CMOS process. The demodulator is suitable for demodulating high frequency signals at 900 MHz with a data rate of 128 Kbps and can operate up to 78 °C. The input signal has a peak of 1.2 V and consumes as little as 113.6 nW. The demodulator also has a noise immunity threshold of approximately 3.729 V.

A Carrier Parameter Decoupling Algorithm for High Order APSK Modulation

In satellite communication, carrier parameter estimation usually uses a serial structure, and the accuracy of frequency offset estimation (FOE) will greatly affect the accuracy of phase offset estimation (POE). A new carrier synchronization mode (NCSM) can realize the decoupling of carrier FOE and POE to a certain extent, but this mode is based on multibase phase shift keying (MPSK) modulation analysis, the decoupling performance is poor when uses in amplitude phase shift keying (APSK) modulation, and the decoupling performance of NCSM has a low tolerance of frequency offset. An improved carrier parameter estimation decoupling technique is proposed to solve these problems. The simulation results show that, compared with the original method, under the premise of ensuring the accuracy of carrier parameter estimation, the proposed method is more robust to the modulation mode, the POE has stronger antioffset ability, and the normalized FOE range has been significantly enhanced.

Waveform Design for Energy Efficient OFDM Transmission

In this chapter, a green radio transmission using the binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) modulated orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signal is addressed. First, the OFDM transmission signal is clearly stated. For a specified performance of the system, the least transmit power occurs by the optimal OFDM shape, which is designed to minimize the average inter-carrier interference power taking into account the characteristic of the transmit antenna and the detection process at the receiver. The optimal waveform is obtained by applying the calculus of variations, which leads to a set of differential equations (known as Euler equations) with constraint and boundary conditions. Results show the transmission effectiveness of the proposed technique in the shaping of the signal, as well as its potential to be further applied to smart context-aware green wireless communications.
