Circuits for Optical Based Line of Sight Voice CommunicationjournalBEEI
We present here line of sight communication between a person and his neighbour with the help of optical signal produced by a laser torch which act as a carrier. It is therefore a wireless communication and the transmission can go up to 500 meters. We used photodiode to receive the signal at the receiver. The transmitter circuit comprises condenser microphone transistor amplifier BC547 followed by an op-amp stage built around µA741. When we give a voice signal from the mike, it converts the voice signal into the electrical signal. This electrical signal is fed to IC741 (op-amp) for amplification. The gain of the op-amp can be controlled with the help of 1-mega-ohm potentiometer. The AF output from IC is coupled to the base of a class B amplifier which, in turn, modulates the signal. The transmitter uses 5V power supply. However, the 3-volt laser torch (after removal of its battery) can be directly connected to the circuit-with the body of the torch connected to the class B. The photodiode converts the optical signal into electrical signal and again this signal is amplified using IC741 and a combination of class B push pull amplifiers. The receiver circuit uses an NPN photodiode as the light sensor that is followed by a two-stage transistor preamplifier and IC741 based audio Power amplifier. The receiver does not need any complicated alignment. Just keep the photodiode oriented towards the remote transmitter’s laser point and adjust the volume control for a clear sound. The sensor must not directly face the sun.

Nanopillar array photovoltaics give unique advantages over today’s planar thin films in the areas of
optical properties and carrier collection, arising from their 3D geometry. The choice of the material
system, however, is essential in order to gain the advantage of the large surface/interface area associated
with nanopillars. Therefore, a well known Si and GaAs material are used in the design and studied in this
nanowire application. This work calculates and analyses the performance of the coaxial GaAs nanowire
and compared with that of Si nanowire using a semi-classical method. The current-voltage characteristics
are investigated for both under dark and AM1.5G illumination. It is found that GaAs nanowire gives almost
double efficiency with its counterpart Si nanowire. Their TCAD simulations can be validated reasonably
with that of published experimental result.

Coherent optical communication systems applying modulation formats with a dimensionality of four or higher are investigated and compared to systems using conventional formats.
Higher dimensionality can be achieved by applying modulation over more than one polarization, time-slot, wavelength, mode or core. Both uncoded systems and systems applying forward-error correction (FEC) coding are studied in terms of spectral efficiency and sensitivity.
It is shown that increasing the dimensionality for a constant spectral efficiency improves the sensitivity substantially if no coding is applied, whereas the corresponding gains generally are much smaller in FEC-coded systems.

Human relations are more fragile than even glassware: if you hold them carefully they remain beautiful and attractive and if you drop/neglect them they break into numerous pieces which can never be attached and even if attached well they can only carry the broken impressions. Therefore, maintaining human relations today has become a ‘herculean task’ as life today has become very mechanical for many due to several reasons. It is the thought of this aspect of life today that gave birth to an ‘INNOVATIVE GESTURE’ to be extended to everybody who wish to keep their relations ever alive.
We, the final year B.Tech. students, thought “can’t we do something that bridges the gap between people”? It struck our minds that we must help everybody in maintaining their relations well. Thus, human beings always remain humane despite their hectic schedule. That’s how 12NUIT.COM cameinto existence.
What can 12NUIT.COM do?
One may feel like greeting someone on his/her birthday/marriage day/success/achievement/ festivals and so on. However, one may not be able to do so due to the pressures of day-to-day life, though love to do. Such slips may be well avoided with the use of 12NUIT.COM. Thus,everyone is welcome to avail the services of 12NUIT.COM anytime.
We accept your orders to be sent to your dear ones. You may send your gift through us. Thus, our services hope to keep your relations much stronger than the strongest.
How did 12NUIT.COM come about?
One day one of our friends failed to wish his closest friend on her birthday. As a result there arose a serious problem in the form of misunderstanding and doubting. It took quite a long time to make peace. Given this bad, sad and unpleasant experience, we thought such slips must be avoided. Besides, we should become the source of avoidance as we believe in “prevention is better than cure”. Thanks to that girl who was indeed the sole reason for the reality of 12NUIT.COM.

Performance evaluation of VLC system using new modulation approachjournalBEEI
We propose a modified OFDM modulation based on multiband scheme for visible light communications (VLC) system. The method called catenated-OFDM VLC system can efficiently boost the propagation distance and combat multipath induced the inter symbol interference and inter carrier interference. Design parameters such as number of optical bands, input power, distance and data rate are varied to see their effect on the system performances. Simulation analysis is done using Optisys software Ver. 11.0. The results show that the proposed system offers a good performance at longer transmission distance of 12 m for input power of 2 dBm in case of Band=3 with 10 Gbps data rate. BER curves also indicates that the proposed system can be operated at very high data rate of 15 Gbps. This exhibits the ability of the proposed system to be one of the candidate for future optical wireless communication system.

Post compensation is used to compensate for phase noise effects. Coherent detection for signal transmitted at bit rate of 40 Gbps is successfully achieved up to distance of 3200km. Performance is analyzed in terms of Symbol Error Rate and Error Vector Magnitude by varying Optical Signal to Noise Ratio (OSNR) and varying the length of the fiber i.e transmission distance.

This paper aims to point out the nonlinear phenomenon occurring in coarse/dense wavelength division multiplex (C/D-WDM) systems. This phenomenon has to betaken into account during the design of the optical network itself, as wavelengthsin the optical fiber are constantly densified. The paper points out the emergence of the non-linear four-wave mixing (FWM) phenomenonand how it relates to the dispersion in the optical fiber together with the transmit power. The output of the paper is a proposed design of the system that points to the improvement of the bit error rate (BER) with a suitable choice of dispersion and suitable transmission power.
Investigation and Analysis of SNR Estimation in OFDM systemIOSR Journals
Estimation of signal to noise ratio (SNR) of received signal and to transmit the signal effectively for
the modern communication system. The performance of existing non-data-aided (NDA) SNR estimation methods
are substantially degraded for high level modulation scheme such as M-ary amplitude and phase shift keying
(APSK) or quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).In this paper SNR estimation proposed method which uses
zero point auto-correlation of received signal per block and auto/cross- correlation of decision feedback signal
in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. Proposed method can be studied into two types;
Type 1 can estimate SNR by zero point auto-correlation of decision feedback signal based on the second
moment property. Type 2 uses both zero point auto-correlation and cross-correlation based on the fourth
moment property. In block-by-block reception of OFDM system, these two SNR estimation methods can be
possible for the practical implementation due to correlation based the estimation method and they show more
stable estimation performance than the earlier SNR estimation methods.
Performance Evaluation and Simulation of OFDM in Optical Communication SystemsIJERA Editor
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is of prime importance nowadays in long haul
communication networks because of its higher spectral efficiency, immunity to multipath fading and its
resilience to interference. Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing is considered as a promising
technology to satisfy the increased demand for bandwidth in broadband services. It is of two types based on the
detection techniques employed. They are direct detection and coherent detection. In direct detection OFDM, a
photodiode is used while in the latter the principle of optical mixing is utilized. This paper investigates the
architecture of single channel and four channel direct detection and coherent detection optical OFDM systems
and carries out performance analysis based on bit error rate and Q-factor. In the case of single channels, a date
rate of 10 Gbps is achieved while in 4 channel systems a data rate of 40 Gbps is achieved. Coherent Optical
OFDM (CO-OFDM) is the next generation technology for the optical communications, since it integrates the
advantages of both coherent systems and OFDM systems.

Advanced modulation coding schemes for an optical transceiver systems–based O...journalBEEI
This paper examines advanced modulation coding schemes for an optical transceiver systems–based optical wireless communication (OWC) channel model. These modulation techniquesinclude On-Off keying and return to zero (RZ)/non–return to zero (NRZ) coding. The signal power level against time and frequency spectral variations are measured. The max. Q factor and min. bit error rate (BER) are estimated and clarified for each modulation code scheme by using an optisystem simulation model. Transmission bit rates of up to 40 Gb/s can be achieved for possible distances up to 500 km with acceptable Q factor. The received power and max. Q factor are measured and clarified with OWC distance variations. The On-Off keying modulation code scheme resulted in better performance than the other modulation code schemes did.
Received Power performance in downlink architecture of Radio-over-Fiber Trans...IOSR Journals
Abstract : The In this paper, we studied the RoF system and analyzed the received power performance in downlink architecture of RoF system. The RoF system employs a Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM) and a phase shifter to externally generate an optical single sideband (OSSB) signal since the OSSB signal is tolerable for power degradation due to a chromatic fiber-dispersion effect. The received power performance is analyzed by calculating a factor called Power Penalty. It is shown that Power penalty is increased exponentially as the differential delay increased with the distance due to chromatic dispersion with the change in laser linewidth (𝛾𝑅𝐹) from 10MHz to 1000MHz. The results are calculated for various transmission distances (𝐿𝐹𝐼𝐵𝐸𝑅) 1km to 40km for optical distances. The frequency of laser taken is 30-GHz RF carrier (𝑓𝑅𝐹) and wavelength 1550-nm laser (λ) with zero line width, fiber dispersion parameter (D) 17 ps/nm·km.
Keywords: Chromatic dispersion, DEMZM, Laser line width, Power penalty and Received power.
Channel Estimation Techniques in MIMO-OFDM LTE SystemsCauses and Effects of C...IJERA Editor
There is an increasing demand for high data transmission rates with the evolution of the very large scale integration (VLSI) technology. The multiple input multiple output-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems are used to fulfill these requirements because of their unique properties such as high spectral efficiency, high data rate and resistance towards multipath propagation. MIMO-OFDM systems are finding their applications in the modern wireless communication systems like IEEE 802.11n, 4G and LTE. They also offer reliable communication with the increased coverage area. The bottleneck to the MIMO-OFDM systems is the estimation of the channel state information (CSI). This can be estimated with the help of any one of the Training Based, Semiblind and Blind Channel estimation algorithms. This paper presents various channel estimation algorithms, optimization techniques and their effective utilization in MIMO-OFDM for modern wireless LTE systems.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

1. Part B | Chapter 4 | Fiber Optic links :
Regenerative regenerators, Digital Links-link power and rise time budget analysis.
Analog links, C/N ration analysis. Coherent link – Homodyne and heterodyne
detection schemes. WDM operational principle of WDM. DWDM. Concepts and
components used for all optical for all optical Networks.
Regenerative Repeaters:
A repeater is a device in which signal processing is performed, i.e., received digital
signals are amplified, reshaped, retimed, and retransmitted. In other words, these are
used over digital links (transmission systems). The block diagram for the same is as
below:
The attenuated and dispersed optical pulse train is detected and amplified in the
receiver unit. This consists of a photodiode followed by a low-noise preamplifier. The
electrical signal thus acquired is given a further increase in power level in a main
amplifier prior to reshaping in order to compensate for the transfer characteristic of the
optical fiber (and the amplifier) using an equalizer.
Accurate timing (clock) information is then obtained from the amplified and equalized
waveform using a timing extraction circuit such as a phase-locked loop (PLL). This
enables precise operation of the following regenerator circuit within the bit intervals of
the original pulse train. The function of the regenerator circuit is to reconstitute the
originally transmitted pulse train, ideally without error. The pulse train is sampled at a
regular frequency equal to the bit rate, and at each sample instant a decision is made of
the most probable symbol being transmitted. The signal at the moment is in electrical
form and needs to be converted to optical form before it is fed back into the optical
fiber. This is taken care of using the drive circuit for the optical source which is either an
LED or a LASER depending on the kind of input that was present in the optical fiber.
2. This is an advantage over the analog transmission systems where the concept of
regenerative repeaters doesn’t exist.

WDM optional principle is available in 4 sheet notes
In fiber-optic communications, wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) is a
technology which multiplexes a number of optical carrier signals onto a single optical
fiber by using different wavelengths (i.e., colors) of laser light. This technique
enables bidirectionalcommunications over one strand of fiber, as well as multiplication
of capacity.
The term wavelength-division multiplexing is commonly applied to an optical carrier
(which is typically described by its wavelength), whereas frequency-division
multiplexing typically applies to a radio carrier (which is more often described
by frequency). Sincewavelength and frequency are tied together through a simple directly
3. inverse relationship, in which the product of frequency and wavelength equals c (the
propagation speed of light), the two terms actually describe the same concept.
A WDM system uses a multiplexer at the transmitter to join the signals together, and
a demultiplexer at thereceiver to split them apart. With the right type of fiber it is
possible to have a device that does both simultaneously, and can function as an optical
add-drop multiplexer. The optical filtering devices used have conventionally
been etalons (stable solid-state single-frequency Fabry–Pérot interferometers in the form
of thin-film-coated optical glass).
The concept was first published in 1978, and by 1980 WDM systems were being realized
in the laboratory. The first WDM systems combined only two signals. Modern systems
can handle up to 160 signals and can thus expand a basic 10 Gbit/s system over a single
fiber pair to over 1.6 Tbit/s.
WDM systems are popular with telecommunications companies because they allow
them to expand the capacity of the network without laying more fiber. By using WDM
and optical amplifiers, they can accommodate several generations of technology
development in their optical infrastructure without having to overhaul the backbone
network. Capacity of a given link can be expanded simply by upgrading the
multiplexers and demultiplexers at each end.
DWDM :
4. Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) is a fiber-optic transmission
technique that employs light wavelengths to transmit data parallel-by-bit or serial-by-
character
How does DWDM fair better :
► No O-E-O required
► Protocol & Bit Rate independence
► Increased overall capacity at much lower cost
Current fiber plant investment can be optimized by a factor of at least 32
► Transparency
Physical layer architecture supports both TDM and data formats such
as ATM, Gigabit Ethernet, etc.
► Scalability
Utilize abundance of dark fibers in metropolitan areas and enterprise
networks
Coherent link-Homodyne and Heterodyne detection schemes:
Coherent detection schemes are used in optical fiber communication as the direct
detection schemes employed (PIN Photodetector) varies only with the intensity (Power)
of the optical signal thus hindering the sensitivity and bandwidth capabilities of the
detector. The onus in direct detection scheme was to consider only the power level of
the optical signal ignoring the phase and frequency parameters by modulating the light
intensity with the input electrical signal voltage.
However in the coherent detection mode, the optical signal can be modulated based
frequency, amplitude or phase improving the sensitivity of the detector and enhancing
the bandwidth capabilities of the optical signal. This method along with the advantages
brings to the fore the need to have tuned semiconductor laser to produce coherent
output with as less spectral width as possible capable of being used in a single mode
optical fiber, a proper coding (NRZ, RZ, Manchester) method for the data to be
impressed upon the optical signal.
5. Block of optical coherent system of modulation and detection scheme:
In case of the modulation of the transmitting optical signal, the optical signal is
modulated either by ASK, PSK or FSK. In direct detection scheme, the signal is
amplitude modulated based on the electrical signal input which carries the information
and hence the detection is proportional to the intensity of the optical signal. However in
case of the coherent detection scheme, the incoming optical signal at the receiver end is
mixed with a wave generated by a local oscillator and this is done before the detection
by the photo-detectors take place and on the surface of the photo-detector.
If the frequency of the signal carrier and that of the local oscillator is same, then the
system is said to be a homodyne coherent detection scheme. Thus either the PSK or
ASK can be used while transmission modulation is being taken care as FSK is ruled out
here. Thus the output is a function of the intensities of the local oscillator wave and the
source optical signal with the output taking the form, where the
phase difference between source optical signal and that of the local oscillator is given by
and Ps, Plo are the intensities of the signals.
A sample block diagram for the homodyne coherent detection scheme is as below:
6. The advantage of the homodyne scheme is that the output frequency is brought to the
baseband level and no further electrical demodulation is necessary. Thus it is a highly
sensitive detection system along with providing high bandwidth capabilities. However
to manage the same frequency between the source and the local oscillator waves, it
becomes a difficult requirement. Also since the phase of the two waves is locked, a
requirement for the PLL is also necessary.
If the frequency of the signal carrier and that of the local oscillator is different, then the
system is said to be a heterodyne coherent detection scheme. Thus the phase
difference between the source and local oscillator signal becomes important and the
final output looks like this: .
A sample block diagram of the heterodyne coherent detection scheme is as below:
7. Though it doesn’t introduce the difficulty of having the systems to produce the same
frequency for source and local oscillator signals, the sensitivity decreases and a -3Db
degradation is introduced.
