Improvement Of Free Space Optical Communications Using Double Carrier Modulation/Differential Detection

Free Space Optical (FSO) communications receive growing attention for use in high data rates wireless link with recent commercialization successes. It is an interesting solution to achieve high bandwidth in the ‘last-mile’ problem with economical and fast deployment. However, in the poor weather such as the heavy rainfall and low visibility lead to degradation of the links performance, particularly over ranges of several hundred meters or longer. Rare usage of FSO communications might be related to factors which are classified as scintillation, absorption, and scattering. In this purpose of studies, the heavy rainfall and low visibility data in Subang Airport, Malaysia were used for the analysis on conventional technique that is Intensity Modulation/Direct Detection (IM/DD) and a new technique namely Double Carrier Modulation/Differential Detection (DCM/Diff.D) as the worst case scenario.Currently, most FSO communication systems are using the IM/DD which are still subjected to many problems. The main problems associated with FSO transmission systems are; atmospheric loss, geometric loss, mispointing loss, and the inability of the receiver circuit to regenerate the transmitted bits because of low signal power. Another prevalent problem is that of its masking noises. The recovery technique in the IM/DD technique uses an injected voltage level as a threshold into a decision circuit, which decides whether the incoming bit is a ‘0’ or a ‘1’. This technique has two inherent problems; the instability of the injected threshold voltage, and the complexity of a dynamic threshold processing. Due to these problems, a new technique based on the automatic decision making known as DCM/Diff.D is provided to improve the transmissions. The performance of IM/DD and DCM/Diff.D was simulated by using commercial simulation software, OptiSystem Version 3.1 and 4. From the simulation results, it appears clearly that the DCM/Diff.D technique improves for more than twice the distance supported by the IM/DD technique under the conditions of heavy rainfall and hazy days. The theoretical development on probability of error and digital signal-to-noise ratio for the worst case scenario also support these results. Another outcome in this thesis is the theoretical derivation on positioning a passive reflector with a time delay produced can be acceptable until 2.5 Gbps

Analysing Language Use In Malay Performances Of Main Puteri And Menora

Every society is characterised by a particular culture which is distinguished by different rituals. Language plays an important role in performing traditional rituals. In performance of rituals, language is the least researched area whereby many theories of rituals did not account for the functions of language. Language use does matter in a ritual where it is a vehicle of the intangible cultural heritage that transmits a rich oral traditions and expressions. Language is also a tool that is used by the performers and practitioners to transfer their knowledge and expertise to the community. This paper will explore the language use in Malay ritual performances of healing where the poetic interweaving speech, song and music will be analysed. A linguistic analysis will be carried out in order to understand\ud the rich semantic and meaningful dimension of the verbal performances and narratives in the Malay performances. Two performances namely Main Puteri and Menora were chosen as these two performances place the emphasis on speech and sound. Preliminary findings reveal that the performances involve a range of poetic devices, operating a linguistic but also a non-linguistic level. With poetic language, a special vocabulary rarely used in other context is utilised. However, it is not speech alone but also the poetic of the music that is involved here. In particular, it is the musical instruments such as rebab that contributes to the performative construction of the sacredness of the event and leads to the social healing of the afflicted person. It is hoped that the findings have contributed to a better understanding of the Malay performances and rituals that demonstrate the creativity of local culture through the preservation of the local language use
