Basic Digital Communication Nomenclature
Textual Message: information comprised of a sequence of
characters.
Binary Digit (Bit): the fundamental information unit for all
digital systems.
Symbol (m
i
where i=1,2,M): for transmission of the bit
stream; groups of k bits are combined to form new symbol
from a finite set of Msuch symbols; M=2
k
.
Digital Waveform: voltage or current waveform representing
a digital symbol.
Data Rate: Symbol transmission is associated with a symbol
duration T. Data rate R=k/T [bps].
Baud Rate: number of symbols transmitted per second [baud].

Sampling Theorem
12
Sampling Theorem
Sampling Theorem: A bandlimited signal having no
spectral components above f
m
hertz can be determined
uniquely by values sampled at uniform intervals of T
s
seconds, where
In sample-and-hold operation, a switch and storage
mechanism form a sequence of samples of the
continuous input waveform. The output of the sampling
process is called pulse amplitude modulation (PAM).

Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)
PCM is the name given to the class of baseband
signals obtained from the quantized PAM signals by
encoding each quantized sample into a digital word.
The source information is sampled and quantized to
one of L levels; then each quantized sample is digitally
encoded into an -bit (=log
2
L) codeword.

Uniform and Non-uniform Quantization
19
Statistical Distribution of Single-Talker
Speech Amplitudes
50% of the time, speech voltage is less than RMS.
Only 15% of the time, voltage exceeds RMS.
Typical voice signal dynamic range is 40 dB.
20
Problems with Linear Quantization
Fact: Unacceptable S/N for small signals.
Solution:
Increasing quantization levels price is too high.
Applying nonlinear quantization achieved by first
distorting the original signal with a logarithmic
compression characteristic and then using a uniform
quantizer.
At the receiver, an inverse compression characteristic,
called expansion, is applied so that the overall
transmission is not distorted. The processing pair is
referred to as companding.

Source Coding
Source coding deals with the task of forming efficient
descriptions of information sources.
For discrete sources, the ability to form reduced data
rate descriptions is related to the information content
and the statistical correlation among the source
symbols.
For analog sources, the ability to form reduced data
rate descriptions, subject to a fixed fidelity criterion I
related to the amplitude distribution and the temporal
correlation of the source waveforms.
27
Huffman Coding
The Huffman code is source code whose average word
length approaches the fundamental limit set by the
entropy of a discrete memoryless source.
The Huffman code is optimum in the sense that no other
uniquely decodable set of code-words has smaller
average code-word length for a given discrete
memoryless source.
28
Huffman Encoding Algorithm
1. The source symbols are listed in order of decreasing
probability. The two source symbols of lowest
probability are assigned a 0 and a 1.
2. These two source symbols are regarded as being
combined into a new source symbol with probability
equal to the sum of the two original probabilities. The
probability of the new symbol is placed in the list in
accordance with its value.
3. The procedure is repeated until we are left with a final
list of source statistics of only two for which a 0 and a 1
are assigned.
4. The code for each (original) source symbol is found by
working backward and tracing the sequence of 0s and 1s
assigned to that symbol as well as its successors.

Properties of Huffman Code
Huffman encoding process is not unique.
Code words for different Huffman encoding process
can have different lengths. However, the average
code-word length is the same.
When a combined symbol is moved as high as
possible, the resulting Huffman code has a
significantly smaller variance than when it is moved
as low as possible.
Huffman code is a prefix code.
A prefix code is defined as a code in which no code-word
is the prefix of any other code-word.

Delta modulation is a one-bit DPCM.
Advantage: bit compression.
Disadvantage: slope overload.

Speech Coding Objective
Reduce the number of bits needed to be transmitted,
therefore lowering the bandwidth required.

Speech Processing for GSM
Composition of the 13 kbps signal:
36 bits for filter parameters every 20 ms.
9 bits for LTP every 5 ms.
47 bits for RPE every 5 ms.
Thus, in a 20 ms (2080-bit block, or 260 sample) interval,
we need a total of
36+9*20/5+47*20/5=260 bits.
Data Rate = 260/(20 ms) = 13 kbps.
43
Speech Processing for IS-54
Composition of the 7.95 kbps signal:
43 bits for filter parameters every 20 ms.
7 bits for LTP every 5 ms.
88 bits for codebook every 20 ms.
Thus, in a 20 ms (2080-bit block, or 260 samples) interval, we
need a total of:
43+7*20/5+88=159 bits.
Data Rate = 159/(20ms) = 7.95 kbps.

Weight and Distance of Binary Vectors
Hamming Weight of a Vector:
w(v) = Number of non-zero bits in the vector.
Hamming Distance between 2 vectors:
d(u,v) = Number of bits in which they differ.
For example: u=10010110001
v=11001010101
d(u,v) = 5.
d(u,v) =w(u+v)
The Hamming Distance between 2 vectors is equal to the
Hamming Weight of their vector sum.
59
Minimum Distance of a Linear Code
The set of all code vectors of a linear code form a
subspace of the n-tuple space.
If u and v are 2 code vectors, then u+v must also be a
code vector.
Therefore, the distance d(u,v) between 2 code vectors
equals the weight of a third code vector.
d(u,v) =w(u+v)=w(w)
Thus, the minimum distance of a linear code equals
the minimum weight of its code vectors.
A code with minimum distance d
min
can be shown to
correct (d
min
-1)/2 erroneous bits and detect (d
min
-1)
erroneous bits.

Viterbi Decoding Algorithm
Basic concept
Generate the code trellis at the decoder
The decoder penetrates through the code trellis level by level in
search for the transmitted code sequence
At each level of the trellis, the decoder computes and
compares the metrics of all the partial paths entering a node
The decoder stores the partial path with the larger metric and
eliminates all the other partial paths. The stored partial path is
called the survivor.

Turbo Codes Basic Concepts
Turbo coding uses parallel concatenation of two
recursive systematic convolutional codes joined through
an interleaver.
Information bits are encoded block by block.
Turbo codes uses iterative decoding techniques.
Soft-output decoder is necessary for iterative decoding.
Turbo codes can approach to Shannon limit.
81
Turbo Codes Encoder - An Example
When the switch is placed on the low position, the tail bits are feedback
and the trellis will be terminated.

Modulation
Digital Modulation: digital symbols are transformed into
waveforms that are compatible with the characteristics of the
channel.
In baseband modulation, these waveforms are pulses.
In bandpass modulation, the desired information signal
modulates a sinusoid called a carrier. For radio transmission,
the carrier is converted in an electromagnetic (EM) wave.
Why modulation?
Antenna size should be comparable with wave length
baseband transmission is not possible.
Modulation may be used to separate the different signals
using a single channel.

Linear Modulation Techniques
Digital modulation techniques may be broadly classified as linear
and nonlinear.
In linear modulation techniques, the amplitude of the transmitted
signal, s(t), varies linearly with the modulating digital signal, m(t).
Linear modulation techniques are bandwidth efficient, though
they must be transmitted using linear RF amplifiers which have
poor power efficiency.
Using power efficient nonlinear amplifiers leads to the
regeneration of filtered sidelobes which can cause severe adjacent
channel interference, and results in the loss of all the spectral
efficiency gained by linear modulation.
Clever ways have been developed to get around these difficulties:
QPSK, OQPSK, /4-QPSK.

Power Spectral Density (PSD) of a BPSK
Signal.
131
BPSK Receiver
BPSK uses coherent or synchronous demodulation,
which requires that information about the phase and
frequency of the carrier be available at the receiver.
If a low level pilot carrier signal is transmitted along
with the BPSK signal, then the carrier phase and
frequency may be recovered at the receiver using a
phase locked loop (PLL).
If no pilot carrier is transmitted, a Costas loop or
squaring loop may be used to synthesize the carrier
phase and frequency from the received BPSK signal.
132
BPSK Receiver with Carrier Recovery
Circuits
133
The received signal is squared to generate a DC signal and an
amplitude varying sinusoid at twice the carrier frequency.
The DC signal is filtered out using a bandpass filter with center
frequency tuned to 2f
c
.
A frequency divider is used to recreate the waveform
cos(2f
c
t+).
The output of the multiplier is applied to an integrate and dump
circuit which forms the low pass filter segment of a BPSK
detector.
If the transmitter and receiver pulse shapes are matched, then the
detection will be optimum.
A bit synchronizer is used to facilitate sampling of the integrator
output precisely at the end of each bit period.

Offset QPSK (OQPSK)
For QPSK, the occasional phase shift of radians can cause the
signal envelope to pass through zero for just an instant.
The amplification of the zero-crossings brings back the filtered
sidelobes since the fidelity of the signal at small voltage levels is
lost in transmission.
To prevent the regeneration of sidelobes and spectral widening, it
is imperative that QPSK signals that use pulse shaping be
amplified only using linear amplifiers, which are less efficient.
A modified form of QPSK, called offset QPSK (OQPSK) or
staggered QPSK is less susceptible to these deleterious effects
and supports more efficient amplification.
OQPSK ensures there are fewer baseband signal transitions.
Spectrum of an OQPSK signal is identical to that of QPSK.

Digital Demodulation Techniques
Coherent detection: Exact replicas of the possible arriving
signals are available at the receiver. This means that the
receiver has exact knowledge of the carrier waves phase
reference, in which case we say the receiver is phase-locked to
the transmitter. Coherent detection is performed by cross-
correlating the received signal with each one of the replicas,
and then making a decision based on comparisons with pre-
selected thresholds.
Non-coherent detection: Knowledge of the carrier waves
phase is not required. The complexity of the receiver is
thereby reduced but at the expense of an inferior error
performance, compared to a coherent system.

Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI)
150
Inter Symbol Interference (ISI)
Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) arises because of
imperfections in the overall frequency response of the
system. When a short pulse of duration T
b
seconds is
transmitted through a band-limited system, the
frequency components constituting the input pulse
are differentially attenuated and differentially delayed
by the system. Consequently, the pulse appearing at
the output of the system is dispersed over an interval
longer than T
b
seconds, thereby resulting in inter-
symbol interference.
Even in the absence of noise, imperfect filtering and
system bandwidth constraints lead to ISI.
151
Nyquist Channels for Zero ISI
The Nyquist channel is not physically realizable since it
dictates a rectangular bandwidth characteristic and an infinite
time delay.
Detection process would be very sensitive to small timing
errors.

Equalization
In practical systems, the frequency response of the
channel is not known to allow for a receiver design that
will compensate for the ISI.
The filter for handling ISI at the receiver contains
various parameters that are adjusted with the channel
characteristics.
The process of correcting the channel-induced distortion
is called equalization.

Introduction to RAKE Receiver
Multiple versions of the transmitted signal are seen at
the receiver through the propagation channels.
Very low correlation between successive chips is in
CDMA spreading codes.
If these multi-path components are delayed in time
by more than a chip duration, they appear like
uncorrelated noise at a CDMA receiver.

Introduction to RAKE Receiver
To utilize the advantages of diversity techniques,
channel parameters are necessary to be estimated.
Arrival time of each path, Amplitude, and Phase.
Maximal Ratio Combiner (MRC): The combiner that
achieves the best performance is one in which each
output is multiplied by the corresponding complex-
valued (conjugate) channel gain. The effect of this
multiplication is to compensate for the phase shift in the
channel and to weight the signal by a factor that is
proportional to the signal strength.

Once the output of a single correlator is corrupted by
fading, large bit error is expected.
