Transmitting analog audio, video, or sensor data with a digital system requires sampling and quantization. While a sampled bandlimited signal can be reconstructed perfectly if the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem is met, quantization unavoidably adds irreversible errors. Given a certain bitrate for quantization (or source coding in general), the achievable signal quality is therefore limited. Transmission of the signal over a noisy channel causes additional errors. If some part of the bitrate is used for protecting the signal with a channel code, these additional errors can be reduced or even eliminated. However, this reduces the achievable maximum quality if the gross bitrate is fixed. Since this compromise between quantization and channel coding is often designed for the worst-case channel, the signal quality saturates early with increasing channel quality, and transmission over a better channel is far below optimum.

Instead of conventional digital systems, this thesis covers a continuous-amplitude, discrete-time system. Such a system does not exhibit this saturation of the signal quality, as its performance further improves with increasing channel quality. An example of such a system is a channel coding strategy using analog modulo block codes (AMB codes) for error protection. The encoder multiplies the unquantized symbol vector with a code matrix and limits the transmission power with a modulo operation. In practice, AMB coding is implemented by digital signal processing. The digital representation of the information symbols can be very precise and no coarse quantization is required for bitrate reduction.

In this thesis, AMB codes are analyzed, designed, and evaluated. The resulting code words, consisting of a lattice and a continuous component, are presented and analyzed. New decoding techniques are developed and evaluated. Additionally, a novel method to analytically estimate the quality of the decoded signal in terms of signal-to-distortion ratio (SDR) can replace computationally much more demanding simulations in many cases. This estimation strategy allows evaluating the usefulness of codes with different dimensionalities. A new, efficient design concept is developed for codes with a single input symbol, which are most promising in terms of complexity and performance. Asystem using AMBcodes outperforms traditional digital transmission systems with short block lengths for medium to high signal-to-noise ratios on the channel. Due to their typically very short block length and low encoding complexity, AMB codes are especially well suited for low-delay, low-power applications, such as hearing aids, wireless microphones, and wireless sensor networks.

Descrizione libreria

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
