Sidelobe reduction in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) using Multi Stages of Li...ijceronline
A commonly used Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) pulse is the Linear Frequency Modulated (LFM) pulse. It has the advantage of greater bandwidth while keeping the pulse duration short and the envelope constant. However, the matched filter output of this signal contains range sidelobes with the first sidelobe at a level of -13.2 dB to the peak of the main lobe. In this paper, the linear frequency modulation (LFM) waveform and matched filter response are introduced. The principle of Multi Stages of Linear Frequency Modulation (MS-LFM) is also discussed. Simulation results of the proposed MS-LFM signal are presented, where sidelobe level reduction of more than -20 dB can be achieved

Interference Cancellation by Repeated Filtering in the Fractional Fourier Tra...IJERA Editor
The Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT) is a useful tool that separates signals-of-interest (SOIs) from
interference and noise in non-stationary environments. This requires estimation of the rotational parameter „a‟ to
rotate the signal to a new domain along an axis „ta‟, in which the interference can best be filtered out. The value
of „a‟ is typically chosen as that which minimizes the mean-square error (MSE) between the desired SOI and its
estimate or that minimizes the overlap between the signal and noise, projected onto the axis „ta‟. In this paper, we
extend this concept to perform repeated filtering, in multiple FrFT domains to reduce the MSE further than can
be done with a single FrFT. We perform this solely using MSE as the metric by which to compute „a‟ at each
stage, thereby simplifying the approach and improving performance over conventional single stage FrFT
methods or methods based solely on the frequency domain filtering, such as the Fast Fourier transform (FFT).
We show that the proposed method improves the MSE two or three orders of magnitude over the conventional
methods using L ≤ 3 stages of FrFT filtering
Ofdm-cpm Ber Performance and FOBP Under IEEE802.16 ScenarioCSCJournals
The application of Orthogonal frequency domain modulation-Continuous Phase Modulation (OFDM-CPM) in multipath Stanford University Interim (SUI) channels is presented in this paper. OFDM-CPM is proposed for IEEE 802.16 standards as an alternative technique of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in physical layer. It is shown that, in addition to 0dB Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) and power efficiency, un-coded OFDM-CPM exploits the frequency diversity of multipath channel. Taking into account the Input Power Back off (IBO), OFDM-CPM is shown to outperform OFDM at high bit energy-to-noise density ratios (Eb/N0). However, at low Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), the OFDM-CPM phase demodulator receiver suffers from a threshold effect. In addition, this paper compares the spectral fractional out of band power of OFDM-CPM for different modulation indices.
Reduction of Outage Probability in Fast Rayleigh Fading MIMO Channels Using OFDMIJERA Editor
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques are used in wireless communications for achieving high spectral efficiency; however, a fast fading spatial channel can increase the outage probability of a MIMO system if not taken care of. This paper investigates the use of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation technique for a MIMO system operating in fast Rayleigh fading channels with the aim of eliminating outage probabilities in the MIMO systems. Simulation results show that the MIMO-OFDM system gives significant reduction in outage probabilities compared to the conventional MIMO system.

All-Optical OFDM Generation for IEEE802.11a Based on Soliton Carriers Using M...University of Malaya (UM)
The optical carrier generation is the basic building block to implement all-optical
orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission. One method to optically
generate single and multicarriers is to use the microring resonator (MRR). The MRRs can be
used as filter devices, where generation of high-frequency (GHz) soliton signals as single
and multicarriers can be performed using suitable system parameters. Here, the optical
soliton in a nonlinear fiber MRR system is analyzed, using a modified add/drop system
known as a Panda ring resonator connected to an add/drop system. In order to set up a
transmission system, i.e., IEEE802.11a, first, 64 uniform optical carriers were generated and
separated by a splitter and modulated; afterward, the spectra of the modulated optical
subcarriers are overlapped, which results one optical OFDM channel band. The quadrature
amplitude modulation (QAM) and 16-QAM are used for modulating the subcarriers. The
generated OFDM signal is multiplexed with a single-carrier soliton and transmitted through
the single-mode fiber (SMF). After photodetection, the radio frequency (RF) signal was
propagated. On the receiver side, the RF signal was optically modulated and processed.
The results show the generation of 64 multicarriers evenly spaced in the range from 54.09 to
55.01 GHz, where demodulation of these signals is performed, and the performance of the
system is analyzed.
Designing and Performance Evaluation of 64 QAM OFDM SystemIOSR Journals
Abstract (11Bold) : — In this report, the performance analysis of 64 QAM-OFDM wireless communication
systems affected by AWGN in terms of Symbol Error Rate and Throughput is addressed. 64 QAM (64 ary
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) is the one of the effective digital modulation technique as it is more power
efficient for larger values of M(64). The MATLAB script based model of the 64 QAM-OFDM system with
normal AWGN channel and Rayleigh fading channel has been made for study error performance and
throughput under different channel conditions. This simulated model maximizes the system throughput in the
presence of narrowband interference, while guaranteeing a SER below a predefined threshold. The SER
calculation is accomplished by means of modelling the decision variable at the receiver as a particular case of
quadratic form D in complex Gaussian random variables. Lastly comparative study of SER performance of 64
QAM-OFDM simulated & 64 QAM-OFDM theoretical under AWGN channel has been given. Also
performance of the system is given in terms of throughput (received bits/ofm symbol) is given in a plot for
different SNR. Keywords (11Bold) –64 QAM, BPSK, OFDM, PDF, SNR.

Dwpt Based FFT and Its Application to SNR Estimation in OFDM SystemsCSCJournals
In this paper, wavelet packet (WP) based FFT and its application to SNR estimation is proposed. OFDM systems demodulate data using FFT. The proposed solution computes the exact FFT using WP and its computational complexity is of the same order as FFT, i.e. O (Nlog2 N). SNR estimation is done inside wavelet packet based FFT block unlike previous SNR estimations techniques which perform SNR estimation after FFT. Wavelet packet analyzed data is used to perform SNR estimation in colored noise. The proposed estimator takes into consideration the different noise power levels of the colored noise over the OFDM sub-carriers. The OFDM band is divided into several sub-bands using wavelet packet and noise in each sub-band is considered white. The second-order statistics of the transmitted OFDM preamble are calculated in each sub-band and the power noise is estimated. The proposed estimator is compared with Reddy’s estimator for colored noise in terms of mean squared error (MSE).
Classical Discrete-Time Fourier TransformBased Channel Estimation for MIMO-OF...IJCSEA Journal
In this document, we look at various time domain channel estimation methods with this constraint of null carriers at spectrumborders.We showin detail howto gauge the importance of the “border effect” depending on the number of null carriers, which may vary from one system to another. Thereby we assess the limit of the technique discussed when the number of null carriers is large. Finally the DFT with the truncated singular value decomposition (SVD) technique is proposed to completely eliminate the impact of the null subcarriers whatever their number. A technique for the determination of the truncation threshold for any MIMO-OFDM system is also proposed.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

the majority of short optical reaches in data center and enterprise networks
10G-SR, 40G-SR4, 100G-SR10, 100G-SR4*, 16GFC, 32GFC etc.
Modal and chromatic dispersion are main limiting MMF channel impairments for
short optical reaches (850nm)
With increasing application speeds, VCSEL spectral width got wider, therefore
increasing channel chromatic dispersion (CD) impairment

Around the critical zero dispersion wavelength of 1300nm, centroid of measured pulse
becomes noisy, due to high modal dispersion
Due to graded index profile, individual MMF mode groups undergo different chromatic
dispersion

CD vs Offset Launch for MMF
- 7 -
Launch narrow temporal pulse at different wavelengths, at radial offsets
Similar to DMD measurements - (i.e. TIA-FOTP-220)
Zero dispersion wavelength (lo) and dispersion slope (So) measured at radial offsets for 5 fibers
Radial offsets relate to the mode groups through p-matrix
Lower offsets correspond to lower order mode groups
Significant zero dispersion wavelength difference of about 15nm observed between LOM and
HOM for all measured fibers
lo tends to shorter wavelengths for HOM
Dispersion slope also varies as a function of radial offset
8. SM
MMF Mode Group CD – from Offset Data
- 8 -
From the offset data, zero dispersion wavelength and dispersion slope can be calculated for
each mode group
As an illustrative example one radial offset, 10 mm, is selected in which at least five MGs can be
observed
Group delays as a function of the wavelength for all the MG present in this radial offset is shown on the
right
For a relatively narrow range of wavelengths around zero dispersion wavelength, individual
mode CD’s can be evaluated using this measurement
Change in the number of propagating modes with wavelength makes it impossible to scan wider
wavelength range with this method

MMF Mode Group CD - Theory

Group delay per mode group:
Where optimum alpha profile is:
Derivative of group delay with respect to wavelength can be computed
numerically to find lo for each mode group from profile parameters
αopt, ∆ and N1 can be obtained from the Sellmeier coefficients of the dopants used in
the fiber

MMF CD – Arbitrary Launch Condition
- 10 -
Chromatic dispersion (lo, So) measured at individual radial offsets can be scaled
by coupled power, P(r) to compute total MMF CD
i.e. for SM launch P(r) = 1 only when r = 0
Utilizing P(r) and offset launch method, we can compute CD for arbitrary launch
conditions
Standardized launch condition such as 10 VCSEL used in worst case modal
bandwidth (TIA-FOTP 220) can allow more realistic CD measurement

Summary/Conclusion
In this work, chromatic dispersion is focused on as a primary impairment
for MMF links with wider spectral width of higher speed VCSELs
Input launch dependence of measured zero dispersion wavelength and
dispersion slope is highlighted
lo for single mode launch is about 10nm higher than overfilled
Furthermore, variation of chromatic dispersion for MMF mode groups is
studied theoretically and experimentally
Offset launch method similar to DMD measurement utilized
Difference in lo of about 15nm is observed between LOM and HOM
Encircled flux compliant launch condition for CD measurements is
recommended, to reduce measurement variability in MMF CD
measurements
