spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/8334 A study of multilevel partial response signalling for transmission in a basic supergroup bandwidth Joffe, Neil Raymond Braun, Robin Electrical and Electronic Engineering Includes bibliographical references. The work in this thesis is primarily directed toward the design, construction and testing of an experimental multilevel partial response signalling baseband system. The system will find practical application in existing frequency division multiplexed-frequency modulated microwave links. The basic supergroup bandwidth of these links is 240 kHz. The design requires a transmission rate of 1.024 Mb/s in this bandwidth. Class-4 15 partial response signalling is the coding technique suitable to achieve this. A pilot tone scheme is used to facilitate symbol timing recovery at the demodulator. A sixth order Butterworth low pass filter approximates the ideal raised-cosine Nyquist channel. A theoretical discussion on impairments caused by deviation from this channel is given. Since the experimental system was non-ideal, it produced a degradation in the channel signal to noise ratio. This degradation, coupled with other factors, showed that further development was necessary for the system to be suitable for connection into an existing microwave link. 2014-10-11T12:05:53Z 2014-10-11T12:05:53Z 1989 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8334 eng application/pdf Department of Electrical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town
