One of the major disadvantages of OFDM communication systems is their high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) which degrades system performance when nonlinear power amplifiers are employed. Among the proposed PAPR techniques ...

This book helps readers create good VHDL descriptions and simulate VHDL designs. It teaches VHDL using selected sample problems, which are solved step by step and with precise explanations, so that readers get a clear idea ...

In this chapter, we will discuss the channel coding theorem in details. Channel coding theorem can be accepted as a milestone in electronic communication field. For this reason, it is very critical for a communication ...

In this chapter, we will try to explain the concept of information, discrete entropy and mutual information in details. To master on the information theory subjects, the reader should have a knowledge of probability and ...

In this chapter, we will study the entropy concept for continuous random variables. The capacity of both continuous and discrete channels will be inspected in details. The capacity formula for additive white Gaussian channel ...

In this study, the authors first propose a tree structure for the successive cancelation (SC) decoding of polar codes. The proposed structure is easy to implement in hardware and suitable for parallel processing operations. ...

Knowledge of at which condition in a nonlinear threshold system stochastic resonance phenomena occurs, can be important in noise introduced threshold systems. A new method for mathematical modeling of stochastic resonance ...
