Constellation and Mapping Optimization of APSK Modulations used in DVB-S2
Journal Title: Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
This article represents the algorithms of APSK constellation and mapping optimization. The dependencies of the symbol error probability Ps on the parameters of the 16APSK and 32APSK constellations are examined and several options that satisfy the requirements to the minimum value of Ps are selected. Mapping optimization is carried out for the selected APSK constellations. BER characteristics of the satellite DVB-S2 channels are represented when using optimized and standard 16APSK and 32APSK constellations and a comparative analysis of the results achieved is made.

UHF PD Experiments on Real Power Transformer and its Frequency Characteristics Results
A number of methods have been used in partial discharge (PD) detection and recognition. Among these methods, ultra-high frequency (UHF) detection and recognition based on a single signal have attracted much attention. In...
Delignification of Rice Husk by Microwave Assisted Chemical Pretreatment
Rice husk has the potential to be used as a source of alternative energy e.g. as biofuel. Its high lignin content, however, poses difficulty to this use. This study investigates the use of microwave assisted acidic and a...
