Gaussian minimum-shift keying
Viterbi's Algorithm
- Viterbi's Algorithm allows us to correct the errors though noised channel
- Based on the knowledge of the noised channel. And the probability that an information has been modified into another
- Develop a scheme for dynamic calculation of Hamming Distances and Next State/Previous State outputs
- The minimum number of errors that could have transformed one string into the other.
- Assign two variables to each state in the Trellis Diagram
- One to calculate the minimum path metric (total Hamming distance)
- A second to record the previous state input/output transition pair.
- From exponential, this complexity becomes linear.
Intersymbol interference
- CPM (Continuous-Phase Modulation)
- Encoding the information on the signal's phase
Phase
Wave form
- form of distortion of a signal in which one symbol interferes with subsequent symbols
- This is an unwanted phenomenon as the previous symbols have similar effect as noise
- Caused by multipath propagation of the inherent non-linear frequency response of a channel causing successive symbols to "blur" together
- This is a data sequence that we wish to send (square pulse)
- Square pulse are nice as an abstraction but are hard to create and require far too much bandwidth
- Shaping at this point is that it reduces bandwidth requirements and can be created by the hardware
- Shows each symbols as it is received
Introduction
- The energy from 1 and 2 goes all the way into symbol 3
- Each symbols interferes with one or more of the subsequent symbols
- Acutal signal seen by the receiver
- For 3 notice that the value is half of the transmitted value
- GMSK (Gaussian minimum-shift keying)
- This symbol is more susceptible to noise and incorrect interpretation
- primary used for boat navigation
- Automatic system that exchanges information by VHF radio.
Conclusion
- This information includes the identifier, status, location, direction and speed of the emitter.
- allow maritime authorities to track and monitor vessel movements.
- With this system, it becomes
possible to know the position of all ships over the Earth.
- Use of a Self-Organized Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA)
- When satellites are used to detect AIS signatures then the term Satellite-AIS (S-AIS).
- The average period depend of the size
and the speed of the boat.
- Matlab aplication such as GMSK modulation / Viterbi decoder / ISI representation
- Transmission of coded information
- Encoder and decoder operation
