Abstract

Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial{Second Generation (DVB-T2) requires a high coding rate to transmit data of high-quality video. This paper evaluates Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) codes for the DVB-T2 to measure the gain of BCH codes. This paper evaluates the BCH codes as outer coding to be combined with other different inner encoding schemes such as Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes and convolutional codes to measure the best suitable inner encoding scheme. This paper also studies the performances of BCH codes for DVB-T2 specified by two different standards, i.e., (a) The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Technical Specification (TS) 102 831 and (b) ETSI European Standard (EN) 302 755. To obtain better error correcting capability, we propose new BCH polynomials based on the general guideline from ETSI TS 102 831 for Galois Field GF(214). We perform computer simulations to evaluate bit-error-rate (BER) performances under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and Indonesia DVB-T2 channel model. We revealed the superiority of BCH codes in high data rate transmission, which is required for DVB-T2, and found that BCH codes are better suited to the LDPC codes as inner encoding rather than to the convolutional codes. We also confirmed that BCH codes of DVB-T2 from ETSI TS 102 831 using the proposed BCH polynomials have better performances compared to the standard polynomial of ETSI EN 302 755. We are expecting that the obtained polynomials can be adopted by the BCH codes of Indonesia DVB-T2 system. These results are expected to support the Indonesian government in determining the parameters of the BCH codes of DVB-T2 for Indonesia.

Abstract

Communication systems for devices moving at high speed are suffering from error-floor due to the Doppler effect. This paper proposes a simple narrowband communication systems for high speed flying devices for critical applications such as missile and drone. To make the system simple, we consider Repetition codes and slight increase of the number of pilot symbols such that the system can predict accurately the fast-changing channel due to time-selective fading. The equalizer in this paper is designed according to the addition of the pilot symbols so that the system works at a maximum speed of 450 km/h to make successful operation for missile and drone before they are taken down by the enemy. Computer simulations are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed communication systems. The operating frequency is industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band, where binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulations are used with Repetition codes being the channel coding. The bit error rate (BER) performance is evaluated under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh fading channels. The results confirm that excellent BER performances are obtained having error-floor less than 10-4 making many applications, including image transmission, are possible, which are great for high speed flying devices even with Repetition codes and simple zero forcing (ZF) equalizer. The results of this study are expected to help the development of future communication systems for missile, drone, and airplane applications.

Abstract

This research is about an effort to increase the robustness of the Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) algorithm to noise by using a chirp signal for direction of arrival estimation (DoA). DoA is a part of radar capability to estimate the angle of arrival on the object under observation. The conventional MVDR as proposed by J. Capon, was designed to work with the monochromatic sinusoidal signal. Even though the conventional MVDR work on low SNR up to 0 dB, however, the conventional method does not work well if chirp signal is used instead of monochromatic sinusoidal signal. The usage of MVDR chirp signal is essential in the case of a very low SNR environment such as in long distance object detection, which is typically more than 10 km. The problem to be solved in this research is how to modify the MVDR algorithm so that it can work well on chirp signal. In this research we offer a modified MVDR algorithm by adding the matched filter and the phase detector components before the MVDR algorithm is applied. Matched filter is responsible for the timing of the chirp signal detection, and the phase detector is to estimate the time delay estimation of each chirp signal from each antenna with a reference signal, which correspond to the phases. Based on the phase estimation, sinusoidal signal is generated and fed to the MVDR algorithm. On the technical aspect, the chirp signal is sent intermittently with a duration of 100 ?s and repeated in time interval of 1 ms. The antenna sensor using an array of Uniform Linear Array (ULA) which consist of N-elements. Computer simulation shows that the modified MVDR using the chirp signal improve the robustness of the algorithm up to -30 dB, while on the other hand the classical MVDR works only up to 0 dB SNR. -30 dB of SNR is the minimum requirement of 3D Radar existing.

Abstract

Early warning system (EWS) via digital television (TV) in Indonesia is still un-optimal in design and implementation due to the absent of clear standard/guidance to follow across the country. This paper studies various EWS based on digital TV of Japan, Korea, and the United States of America (USA). Although the systems look like different, the EWS can be simplified into 3 nodes representing (i) Emergency Agency, (ii) TV broadcaster, and (iii) TV receiver. Beside the 3-node-based EWS, this paper evaluates the possibilities of EWS having 4 nodes. We perform computer simulations to evaluate the latency and bit error rate (BER) performances under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and frequency-flat Rayleigh fading channels. We found that the system latency and BER performances of EWS are highly affected by (i) the distance of one node to another and (ii) the number of nodes, where EWS with 3 or 4 nodes found to be enough and suitable for Indonesia digital TV. We propose a criterion of good EWS, i.e., total delay T <= t + 4.delta.t with t and delta.t being the propagation delay and processing time, respectively, and BER less than Pb=10-3. The result of this paper are expected to be used as a reference for the Indonesia EWS systems.

Abstract

Ability to read Braille is critical skill for blind students. Without the skill, blind students would encounter difficulties in their learning activities because most learning materials are written using the Braille system. The currently applied Braille learning system uses printed paper that is time consuming and pricey. This research attempts to develop a tool for helping the blinds to learn how to read braille letters. The tool processes inputs in the form of speech signal into a text by applying Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) as a feature extraction method and K- Nearest Neighbor (KNN) as a classifier method. The text will subsequently be transformed into Braille pattern by using Arduino UNO. The test results discover the combination of Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient and K-Nearest Neighbor method are able to recognize the speech signal of different alphabets with 87,3% accuracy. Furthermore, the computing time for alphabet recognitions decreases 85 % when the device is applied This finding helps the blind students to recognize the alphabets easily and faster.
