Mitigation to Combat Fast-Fading Distortion

Module by: Sinh Nguyen-Le, Tuan Do-Hong. E-mail the authorsEdited By: Sinh Nguyen-Le, Tuan Do-HongTranslated By: Sinh Nguyen-Le, Tuan Do-Hong

  • For fast-fading distortion, use a robust modulation (non-coherent or differentially coherent) that does not require phase tracking, and reduces the detector integration time.
  • Increase the symbol rate, W≈1/TsW≈1/Ts size 12{W approx {1} slash {T rSub { size 8{s} } } } {}, to be greater than the fading rate, fd≈1/T0fd≈1/T0 size 12{f rSub { size 8{d} } approx {1} slash {T rSub { size 8{0} } } } {}, by adding signal redundancy.
  • Error-correction coding and interleaving can provide mitigation, because instead of providing more signal energy, a code reduces the required Eb/N0Eb/N0 size 12{ {E rSub { size 8{b} } } slash {N rSub { size 8{0} } } } {}. For a given Eb/N0Eb/N0 size 12{ {E rSub { size 8{b} } } slash {N rSub { size 8{0} } } } {} with coding present, the error floor will be lowered compared to the uncoded case.

When fast-fading distortion and frequency-selective distortion occur simultaneously, the frequency-selective distortion can be mitigated by the use of an OFDM signal set. Fast fading, however, will typically degrade conventional OFDM because the Doppler spreading corrupts the orthogonality of the OFDM subcarriers. A polyphase filtering technique is used to provide time-domain shaping and partial-response coding to reduce the spectral sidelobes of the signal set, and thus help preserve its orthogonality. The process introduces known ISI and adjacent channel interference (ACI) which are then removed by a post-processing equalizer and canceling filter.

Definition of a lens

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
