The document discusses the evolution of wireless communication technology. It covers topics like the electromagnetic spectrum, the need for modulation to increase communication range and allow multiplexing. Shannon's capacity theorem is discussed as it relates to the maximum data rate of a channel based on its bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio. Spread spectrum techniques like CDMA are introduced which spread signals across frequency bands to make them resistant to noise and interference. Multiple access schemes like FDMA, TDMA, and CDMA are compared. OFDM is described as a digital multi-carrier technique using multiple subcarriers to transmit independent signals efficiently. Finally, the document outlines the generations of mobile communication technology.

5. Need for Modulation
• Increases the range of communication
• Reduction in the height of antenna
For the transmission of radio signals, the antenna height must be multiple of λ/4
λ = c /f
The minimum antenna height required to transmit a baseband signal of f = 10 kHz
let us consider a modulated signal at f = 1 MHz
• Multiplexing is possible

6. Shannon Capacity Theorem
Data rate governs the speed of data transmission
1.Noiseless Channel
BitRate = 2 * Bandwidth * log2(L)
2.Noisy Channel : Shannon Capacity
C = B * log2 (1+ S/N)
C: capacity (bits/s)
B: bandwidth (Hz)
S/N: linear Signal-to-Noise ratio
• A telephone line normally has a bandwidth of 3000 Hz (300 to 3300
Hz) assigned for data communication. The SNR is usually 3162.
What will be the capacity for this channel?
C = 3000 * log2(1 + SNR) = 3000 * 11.62 = 34860 bps=34Kbps

7. Example of Nyquist and Shannon Formulations
Spectrum of a channel between 3MHz and 4MHz; SNR = 24dB
B = 4MHz – 3 MHz = 1 MHz
SNR dB = 24dB = 10 log10 (SNR)
SNR = 251
Using Shannon’s formula
C = 10^6 x log2 (1 + 251) = 10^6 x 8 = 8Mbps
• For Error free transmission R≤C
Where R is rate of information transmission
C is channel Capacity

8. Spread Spectrum Modulation-CDMA
• Spread Spectrum is a type of modulation that spreads data
transmission across available frequency band, in excess of
minimum bandwidth required to send the information.
• Spreading makes signal resistive to noise and other
interference.
• Spread Spectrum has many unique properties that cannot be
found in other techniques like
o the ability to eliminate or alleviate multi-path interference,
o communication privacy due to unknown random codes,
o multi user handling capacity over a single frequency, and
low power spectral density since signal is spread over a
large frequency band.

9. Spread Spectrum Advantages
• As the signal is spread over a large frequency band, the
power spectral density is getting very small, so other
communications systems do not suffer from this kind of
communications.
• Random access can be dealt with as a large number of
codes can be generated and as a result large number of
users can be permitted
• In this technique without knowing the spreading code, it
is (nearly) impossible to recover the transmitted data.
Hence security is more

10. Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DS-SS)
• It is a second time modulation for already existing modulation signal
• In a DS-SS system, each user is assigned a unique code sequence
that allows the user to spread the information signal across the
assigned frequency band
• Signals from the various users are separated at the receiver by cross
correlation of the received signal with each of the possible user code
sequences.
• Possible narrow band interference is also suppressed in this process.
By designing these code sequences to have relatively small cross-
correlation, the cross-talk inherent in the demodulation of the signals
received from multiple transmitters is minimized. This multiple
access method is CDMA, which is a form of a DS-SS system

11. Processing Gain
• The ratio of transmitted bandwidth to information bandwidth
is called the processing gain Gp of the DS-SS system:
Gp = Bt / Bi
• Where, Bt is the transmission bandwidth and Bi is the
bandwidth of the information bearing signal.

Spreading DeSpreading

14. Pseudo-Noise Sequences
• short PN sequence (r = 15) is specific to a base station and its period
is (2^15−1)Tc = 27ms.
• “long” PN sequence (r =42) is used to scramble the user data with a
different code shift for each user
• The 42-degree characteristic polynomial is given by:
x42+x41+x40+x39+x37+x36+x35+x32+x26+x25+x24+x23+x21+x
20+x17+x16+x15+x11+x9+x7+1

15. Multiple Access Schemes
Simultaneous transmission of multiple data streams over a same medium
is called Multiple Access.
The types are..
1. Frequency Division Multiple Access
2. Time Division Multiple Access
3. Code Division Multiple Access
4. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access

16. Multi Carrier System-OFDM
OFDM is a Digital multi-carrier modulation scheme, extending
the concept of single sub carrier modulation, by using multiple
subcarriers over the channel.
• So it is a question of how to share the spectrum with these users. In
OFDM the question of multiplexing is applied to independent
signals but these independent signals are sub-set of the one main
signal
• Rather than transmit a high-rate stream of data with a single carrier,
OFDM makes use of a large number of closely spaced orthogonal
sub-carriers that are transmitted in parallel.
• Each subcarrier is modulated with (16-QAM or 64 –QAM, PSK at
low symbol rate , all sub carriers signals with a communication
channel are orthogonal to one another.
• Cross talk eliminated and inter carrier guard bands are not required.

17. FDM Vs OFDM
Functional Block Diagram of OFDM

20. OFDM divides each channel into many narrower subcarriers. The
spacing is chosen so these subcarriers are orthogonal. This avoids
interference between subcarriers even without guard-bands between
them. The subcarrier spacing is equal to the reciprocal of symbol time.
All subcarriers have integer sinusoidal cycles that sum to zero upon
demodulation. Orthogonality guarantees symbol recoverability.

21. OFDM Benefits
• First and foremost, spectral efficiency, also called bandwidth
efficiency. That means one can transmit more data faster
within a given bandwidth in the presence of noise.
• None is better than OFDM with respect to maximum data
capacity in a given channel bandwidth. OFDM approaches the
Shannon limit defining maximum channel capacity in bits per
second (bps).
• OFDM can be implemented in real world using digital signal
processing in i.e, DFT,FFT, IFFT. We can program FFT, IFFT
functions on any PC, but usually done in by special DSP IC or
an Programmed FPGA.
