A comparison of digital transmission techniques under multichannel conditions at 2.4 GHz in the ISM BAND
In order to meet the observation quality criteria of micro-UAVs, and particularly in the context of the « Trophée Micro-Drones », ISAE/SUPAERO is studying technical solutions to transmit a high data rate from a video payload onboard a micro-UAV. The laboratory has to consider the impact of multipath and shadowing effects on the emitted signal. Therefore fading resistant transmission techniques are considered. This techniques paper have to reveal an optimum trade-off between three parameters, namely: the characteristics of the video stream, the complexity of the modulation and coding scheme, and the efficiency of the transmission, in term of BER
Spread spectrum techniques for indoor wireless IR communications
Multipath dispersion and fluorescent light
interference are two major problems in indoor
wireless infrared communications systems. Multipath
dispersion introduces intersymhol interference
at data rates above 10 Mb/s, while
fluorescent light induces severe narrowband
interference to baseband modulation schemes
commonly used such as OOK and PPM. This
article reviews the research into the application
of direct sequence spread spectrum techniques
to ameliorate these key channel impairments
without having to resort to complex signal processing
techniques. The inherent properties of a
spreading sequence are exploited in order to
combat the ISI and narrowband interference. In
addition, to reduce the impact of these impairments,
the DSSS modulation schemes have
strived to be bandwidth-efficient and simple to
implement. Three main DSSS waveform techniques
have been developed and investigated.
These are sequence inverse keying, complementary
sequence inverse keying, and M-ary biorthogonal
keying (MBOK). The operations of
the three systems are explained; their performances
were evaluated through simulations and
experiments for a number of system parameters,
including spreading sequence type and length.
By comparison with OOK, our results show that
SIK, CSIK, and MBOK are effective against
multipath dispersion and fluorescent light interference
becausc the penalties incurred on the
DSSS schemes are between 0-7 dB, while the
penalty on OOK in the same environment is
more than 17 dB. The DSSS solution for IR
wireless transmission demonstrates that a transmission
waveform can he designed to remove
the key channel impairments in a wireless IR
system

Introduction to Random Signals and Noise
Random signals and noise are present in many engineering systems and networks. Signal processing techniques allow engineers to distinguish between useful signals in audio, video or communication equipment, and interference, which disturbs the desired signal. With a strong mathematical grounding, this text provides a clear introduction to the fundamentals of stochastic processes and their practical applications to random signals and noise. With worked examples, problems, and detailed appendices, Introduction to Random Signals and Noise gives the reader the knowledge to design optimum systems for effectively coping with unwanted signals.\ud

Spatial Characteristics of Distortion Radiated from Antenna Arrays with Transceiver Nonlinearities
The distortion from massive MIMO (multiple-input--multiple-output) base
stations with nonlinear amplifiers is studied and its radiation pattern is
derived. The distortion is analyzed both in-band and out-of-band. By using an
orthogonal Hermite representation of the amplified signal, the spatial
cross-correlation matrix of the nonlinear distortion is obtained. It shows
that, if the input signal to the amplifiers has a dominant beam, the distortion
is beamformed in the same way as that beam. When there are multiple beams
without any one being dominant, it is shown that the distortion is practically
isotropic. The derived theory is useful to predict how the nonlinear distortion
will behave, to analyze the out-of-band radiation, to do reciprocity
calibration, and to schedule users in the frequency plane to minimize the
effect of in-band distortion
