Information transmission methods with through the use of stochastic signals
The paper provides an overview of information transmission methods through the use of the noise carrier proposed by researchers from the middle of the last century to the present day. It is shown that the main areas of application of autocorrelation systems with the noise carrier is the confidential communication system construction, where the protection of the transmitted information from intercepting and protection of the channel from the extraneous information injecting are of priority. Methods of information transfer, discussed in the paper, allow solving the problem of sustainable communication in difficult conditions of signal propagation with simple technical means, especially in multipath channels. The paper studies the most urgent theoretical and practical problems relating to communication systems with the noise carrier
Finding Structural Information of RF Power Amplifiers using an Orthogonal Non-Parametric Kernel Smoothing Estimator
A non-parametric technique for modeling the behavior of power amplifiers is
presented. The proposed technique relies on the principles of density
estimation using the kernel method and is suited for use in power amplifier
modeling. The proposed methodology transforms the input domain into an
orthogonal memory domain. In this domain, non-parametric static functions are
discovered using the kernel estimator. These orthogonal, non-parametric
functions can be fitted with any desired mathematical structure, thus
facilitating its implementation. Furthermore, due to the orthogonality, the
non-parametric functions can be analyzed and discarded individually, which
simplifies pruning basis functions and provides a tradeoff between complexity
and performance. The results show that the methodology can be employed to model
power amplifiers, therein yielding error performance similar to
state-of-the-art parametric models. Furthermore, a parameter-efficient model
structure with 6 coefficients was derived for a Doherty power amplifier,
therein significantly reducing the deployment's computational complexity.
Finally, the methodology can also be well exploited in digital linearization
techniques.Comment: Matlab sample code (15 MB):

CRLBs for Pilot-Aided Channel Estimation in OFDM System under Gaussian and Non-Gaussian Mixed Noise
The determination of Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) as an optimality criterion for the problem of channel estimation in wireless communication is a very important issue. Several CRLBs on channel estimation have been derived for Gaussian noise. However, a practical channel is affected by not only Gaussian background noise but also non-Gaussian noise such as impulsive interference. This paper derives the deterministic and stochastic CRLBs for Gaussian and non-Gaussian mixed noise. Due to the use of the non-parametric kernel method to build the PDF of non-Gaussian noise, the proposed CRLBs are suitable for practical channel environments with various noise distributions
