Performance analysis of filtered Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed LDPC codes for satellite communication in the Ka-Band
Authors:   , Gumede Bonginkosi
Published: September 2024

The saturation of lower frequency bands and the growing demand for high data rates have presented the need to design future systems at Ka-band frequency, but Ka-band frequency is very fragile because of the millimeter wavelength. Ka-band frequencies range from 26 to 40 GHz, making the signal more susceptible to weather impairments and shadowing than lower frequency bands. Rain attenuation is a major problem in satellite communications systems operating at Ka-band, it causes major signal degradation because the raindrop is about the size of the Ka-band wavelength. To mitigate this problem, you must use powerful Forward Error Correction (FEC) codes such as Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) or Turbo codes. This research presents the performance of LDPC codes for satellite communications in the Ka-band, we enhance the system’s performance by adding adaptive modulation and filtered - Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (f-OFDM). This research study has been undertaken as follows: First, we studied the operation of LDPC codes, including different encoding and decoding techniques. We decided to use the Quasi Cyclic (QC) parity check matrix, allowing us to employ the QC-LDPC encoding technique, which reduces encoding complexity and improves coding efficiency. We explored various LDPC code decoding techniques and opted for soft decoding techniques, namely Belief Propagation, Layered Belief, Normalised Min-Sum, and Offset-Min Sum, as they are more effective in reducing errors compared to hard decision decoding. The Kaband satellite channel is modeled using the Gaussian distribution, considering that the signal envelope and signal phase change randomly after passing through the Ka-band channel. All parameters were set according to different weather conditions. For the simulations, we utilized the MATLAB software package. The uncoded 16-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) OFDM system on moderate rain weather conditions achieved a gain of 4.3 dB against light snow and thunderstorm weather conditions at the BER 10−3. We applied f-OFDM, and the results show that LDPC codes achieve a gain of 2 dB when compared to Turbo codes and a gain of 3 dB compared to Convolutional Codes (CC) at the BER of 10−3 under moderate rain conditions in the Ka-band channel, we can see the effects of f-OFDM and LDPC codes. When adding the adaptive modulation into the system, modulation switches from 16 QAM to 64-QAM at Eb/No of -9 dB and switches from 64-QAM to 256-QAM at Eb/No of -5 dB thus improving spectral efficiency. The system is resilient and feasible in error correction at low Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR).

Interaction Opportunities Meaning-Making with Interactive Visualisations
Authors:   , Canizares Mena Miguel
Published: September 2024

Visualisations have long been used to convey information by mapping data to visual elements, often assuming meaning is inherent in these visual properties. However, this perspective overlooks the impact of a meaning-maker’s context, which is unpredictable and cannot be predetermined by designers in advance. Building on theory which foregrounds meaning-making as a negotiation between meaning-maker and visual properties, this thesis contributes ‘Interaction Opportunities’ which require designers to consider negotiation of meaning in interactive visualisation design.
Mechanistic Aspects of Photo-Induced Polymerizations on Multiple Time-Scales from the Earliest Events to Product Formation
Authors:   , Neidinger Philipp
Published: September 2024

In the current thesis several photopolymerization experiments have been conducted and new models of photopolymerization have been explored. Femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopy explores the excited state dynamics immediately after photoexcitation. Visible light, one-photon pulse-induced laser polymerization experiments expand the time scale up to end product formation. Further, two-photon excitation techniques for polymer formation, using mild NIR light, are quantitatively analyzed for the first time. The use of NIR light absorbing plasmonic gold nanorods as photothermal converters in combination with conventional thermal initiators is an alternative approach explored in the current thesis, offering polymerization conditions for sensitive (biological) applications.
A Symbolic Algorithm to Obtain Low or High Degree Splines from Discrete Fourier Transforms
Authors: Pepin Alexandre , Léger Sophie , Beaudoin Normand
Published: September 2024

Obtaining high-degree splines with the use of traditional spline interpolation methods is not an easy task; therefore, traditional spline interpolation is typically limited to cubic splines. In this paper, we present a symbolic and numeric algorithm to obtain splines of any degree, while providing detailed procedures and examples of how to use this algorithm so that it is immediately useful for an interested user. This method, which was initially developed by Beaudoin and Beauchemin [2, 3], works for splines of any degree and yields very accurate results when the boundary conditions are chosen wisely. It also provides approximations of higher order derivatives, something that is not available with the use of cubic splines. This paper presents formulas that can be used in a straightforward manner to obtain interpolation splines of first degree (linear splines), second degree (parabolic splines) and third degree (cubic splines). For splines of higher degree, a short but complete symbolic algorithm to compute the formulas is presented. The resulting formulas can be used in the same manner as those presented for splines of lower degree. A complete numerical example is included to show how the results are obtained and a link to the complete Maple source code is given.
