1st Edition
Unified Theoretical Analysis of Nonlinear Multicarrier Schemes
This book provides the analytical tools to characterize nonlinear distorted multicarrier signals and optimal/sub-optimal receivers employed in high data rate communication systems.
Unified Theoretical Analysis of Nonlinear Multicarrier Schemes introduces new optimal and sub-optimal receivers for nonlinear distorted signals that can use nonlinear distortion to improve performance when compared with common receivers. It addresses the analysis of nonlinear systems with stochastic inputs and establishes new receivers designs for multi-carrier communication systems with nonlinearities. The authors also include the characterization and definition of optimum and sub-optimum receivers for nonlinear distorted signals that may use the nonlinear distortion to improve receiver performance over the existing ones. The book also includes a set of applications where the analytical unified method for characterization of nonlinear distortion can be applied. The two final chapters of the book include systems like MIMO OFDM and the extension to optical systems. These techniques are the base of 5G, Wi-fi and future 6G mobile networks.
The book will be a valuable resource for design engineers, industrial engineers, applications engineers and researchers working on multi-carrier systems, power amplifiers modelling and design.
